My husband and I reached out to Joshua Lawes at oneninerexpeditions, to plan a trip to Africa. And plan he did. Every detail was taken into account. Victoria Falls was on our bucket list forever, and Josh made sure we saw it in its full glory. The safari at Chobe River National Park was truly awe inspiring. We had the most knowledgeable and patient guide Ronnie with us, who made sure we saw wildlife up close and personal . It’s an experience difficult to describe in words because it’s almost spiritual. Witnessing the circle of life puts you in a reflective mood. The stay at Bakwena Lodge and Royal Livingston was perfect. A special mention for the food at the lodge. My husband had some dietary restrictions and the kitchen team handled it with grace and finesse. Please visit Africa atleast once in your lifetime and let Joshua make it the trip of your dreams.

I had a great time on my safari adventure with One Niner Expeditions. Joshua, Dave, and the team had everything organized and took care of all the details so we could focus on enjoying our vacation. For every leg of our journey, we were met by experienced and knowledgeable guides who made the experience special. Their local expertise enabled us to enjoy the safari, see the animals, and learn about the different wildlife, geology, history and culture of the areas we visited. Interacting with our dynamic guides was fun and entertaining. I had a wonderful experience with a customized itinerary that exceeded my expectations. One Niner Expeditions was a great decision. I’m looking forward to another trip with them in the future.

An amazing trip of a lifetime! Joshua, Dave and the OneNiner Expeditions team make it very enjoyable. Great animal sightings in the Kruger National Park, Overlanding was epic and allowed us to connect with nature. Our second week in Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe were also thrilling, with more game drives, elephants close up lunch, river excursions and the magnificent Victoria Falls. Look forward to booking again with this well organized professional tour company.

What an amazing safari experience - arranged by our guide Josh, with years of experience in the land, people and wild game! His knowledge and contacts made our adventures very personalized, something we'll always remember. We got up close to all the game in South Africa - we were blessed to see the Big Five in our first 3 game drives! - and had one-on-one time with the fabulous Black Mambas, joining them for a morning snare patrol and evening game watch. We finished out our trip relaxing on the beautiful Zambezi River, experienced double rainbows hiking at Victoria Falls, hand-fed rescue donkeys at Save the Donkey project and elephants at the Elephant Cafe. Wow!!!
