Customer Reviews
Matilda | Visited Victoria Falls
★★★★★
We approached Greater Africa Travels in September 2025 to assist us with planning a special trip to Victoria Falls for our 10th wedding anniversary, and from start to finish, the experience was nothing short of outstanding.
Wilma and JP were our travel agents, and they truly went above and beyond. Every aspect of our journey was meticulously planned — from connecting flights and accommodation to meals, excursions, guides, and transfers. The attention to detail was remarkable. We were even surprised with champagne and special treats upon our arrival, which made our anniversary feel extra special.
Communication throughout the trip was excellent on a travel app. We were kept informed daily about our excursions and even received updates on which luggage carousel to use — a small detail that made a big difference. When I was injured on the last day, they immediately arranged airport assistance for me, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience during a difficult moment.
The care, professionalism, and personal touch we received meant the world to us. Greater Africa Travels truly exceeded our expectations, and we will most definitely make use of their services again when travelling abroad. Highly recommended!
John | Visited Tanzania
★★★★★
In August 2025 we returned from another unforgettable safari in Tanzania, visiting the national parks of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. This safari was expertly organised by Wilma Nichols of Greater Africa Travel, and once again the experience was outstanding.
This was the third safari Wilma has put together for us over the years, and each one has been truly wonderful in its own way. The consistency, quality, and care she brings to every trip is remarkable.
From the very early planning stages through to the end of the journey, Wilma looked after us every step of the way.
She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from our safari, tailored the itinerary perfectly, and handled all the details with professionalism and genuine personal care.
The lodges, guides, transfers, and overall pacing of the trip were superb, allowing us to relax completely and fully enjoy the incredible wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania.
It’s clear that she has deep knowledge of Africa and a real passion for creating meaningful, memorable safari experiences.
What really sets Wilma apart is her attention to detail and her commitment to her clients.
Knowing that she was always there, checking in and ensuring everything ran smoothly, gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip.
When we arrived in Tanzania's Kilimanjaro airport we discovered our luggage had been left behind by the airline. We got in touch with Wilma and she immediately contacted the airline on our behalf and got her people on the ground to follow-up and kept us updated. With her assistance it was a great relief that our luggage was delivered to us the next day just in time to start our safari.
After three previous safaris organised by Wilma, we can confidently say that she and Greater Africa Travel are exceptional. Each journey has exceeded our expectations, and this latest one was no exception.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Wilma to anyone looking for a perfectly planned, personalised, and truly special African safari.
We are already looking forward to our next African adventure with Greater Africa Travel in 2026!
James | Visited Cape Town & Winelands
★★★★★
We were recommended to Greater Africa Travel by old friends. We were firstly joining our family in their rented villa in Cape Town, the villa found by Greater Africa Travel, which was fabulous and then to have 10 days afterwards travelling the Cape Winelands. Greater Africa Travel could not have done more to assist us, from finding the hotels, to booking restaurants and guides. The holiday was a huge success from beginning to end, no mean feat as we were late booking for February 2026 and Wilma made it happen personally ringing the hotels for availability (if a booking had not confirmed and a room had become free then securing it upon our affirmation). No query was too minor and was always answered immediately. Wilma took time to find out what we would like and expect from our time spent in the Cape and the type of hotel that would suit us; the three hotels we stayed in were all very different and equally enjoyable, we would not hesitate and hope to use Greater Africa Travel again.
Olly | Visited Cape Town & Winelands
★★★★★
Wilma could not have done more to make our first stay as a family in Cape Town a more memorable holiday. From the preparation beforehand to landing back in the UK she was on hand for our every need. Always responsive and helping cater for even the smallest request, e.g. help to get a phone repaired. She met us at the airport after a long flight, guided us to our rented car and from then on everything she organised worked seamlessly. She works with friendly, well informed colleagues. Our day tours to the winelands with our guide, John, and our chef, Naz, were excellent representatives of her - both provided brilliant services. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Wilma and JP again, and our lucky friends will in due course benefit from her help too. Her number, without question, is being widely shared.
Liz | Visited Namibia

Wilma at Greater Africa Travel truly created a trip of a life time for my family! She took the time to meet with us, find out what was important to us and what our interests were. She then curated the perfect itinerary, with excellent accommodations along the way.
Everything was so well thought out and she made sure our daughter was included in every part of the journey. The communication, the activities and overall experience was excellent!
I would highly recommend Greater Africa Travel for anyone looking for a bespoke travel experience.
Sandy | Visited Victoria Falls & Botswana
★★★★★
A work colleague highly recommended Wilma at Greater Africa Travel and we are so glad we followed his advice. Our trip to Botswana exceeded all our expectations. Everything went smoothly with Wilma checking in on us every step of the way. The personal touches, care and attention to detail and going above and beyond made our trip so memorable.
From our very first contact with Wilma, she was always prompt and generous with information in her replies and nothing (including all our questions) was too much trouble.
Thank you Wilma and Greater Africa Travel, we are happy to recommend to anyone that asks us about our amazing adventure in Africa.

Inspirational African Travel
“Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths? Could it be because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of mankind, where our species first stood upright on the savannahs of long ago?”
- Brian Jackman (British journalist and author)
