What Our Guests Say

Accessible travel lives or dies on the details — whether the vehicle really is wheelchair-friendly, whether the lodge really is step-free, whether the guide really does know how to help. Here's what guests have told us after travelling with us.

Cape Town to the Elephant Coast, in a power wheelchair

My wife Jean and I had been looking to go to Africa for several years. I'm in a power wheelchair and we were having a hard time finding anyone that had a wheelchair accessible tour package.

Access2Africa Safaris offered exactly what we wanted and they came through with everything they claimed they'd supply. We spent our first days with Pam and Jeff in Cape Town enjoying the scenery and learning the history of Cape Town. Pam and Jeff have lived in Cape Town for many decades and knew all the great places to take us. The only place we weren't able to go to because of the 65 mph winds was Table Mountain. But we saw it from several different locations and got some great pictures. They took us to Boulder's Beach where the penguins live. It was amazing!

Upon departing Cape Town we flew to Durban where we met up with Sabelo, our driver/guide for the next 8 days. He took us to several reserves where we saw lots of amazing animals up close. We also enjoyed an encounter at a Zulu village, a river boat ride to see the hippopotamus and an elephant encounter where we got to feed Rambo! We had a delightful time the whole week and wished we could have stayed longer.

All in all it was a fabulous trip! I would recommend Access2Africa Safaris to anyone with any type of disability. They treat you with kid gloves and all of their selections of lodges and reserves were excellent choices.

Thanks to Jennae for booking everything for us and paying attention to all the small details as well.

More from our guests

Travellers who have crossed KwaZulu-Natal with us — some using power chairs, some walkers, some travelling with family who needed everything to simply work.

"In May of 2022 we took off for 14 days in South Africa with Access2Africa. Jennae provides exceptional care for her guests. She understands our issues from firsthand lived experience and built an itinerary that was inclusive, accessible, and exceeded our expectations. As pioneers in the disability community, Erika and I would recommend South Africa to all of our fellow adventurers — a full and unfettered experience can be enjoyed by persons with significant disabilities."
JR & Erika Harding USA · 14 days, May 2022
"We all arrived home knowing we had had a marvellous, unforgettable experience thanks to you. Your attention to what was possible and available ensured our time in Durban and KwaZulu-Natal was well spent, varied and never to be forgotten. We are all pouring over our pictures saying remember when the giraffes appeared in the trees, when the elephants crossed the road, when the zebras came up to the railing, when the wildebeest were outside our door. These are memories that as a family we will always share."

"Upon arrival I was blown away by plenty of wildlife sightings, and the photography was excellent. To summarise my South African safari: I did not want to come home. I had such a good time with new friends, great accommodation, wonderful food, fabulous service and assistance. Each room had its own accessible bathroom and a balcony. Spending a few days in the same place each time made it much more relaxing and enjoyable."
Sandra Williams Australia · 2018
"We have travelled to many places in the world, but our trip to South Africa was one of the most magical. Without a doubt, we attribute much of that experience to the knowledge, skill, attention to detail and friendly service we received from Access2Africa Safaris. We have referred others to them, and we would be happy to use them again for a future trip. We highly recommend their services."
Catherine & Ralph Campisi USA · 2017
"Our accommodation throughout the trip was very good — four very different types, all of which were very wheelchair friendly. We saw a total of 24 different animal species, often up very close. Being close enough to a huge elephant that we could have touched him was awe inspiring. We encountered four of the Big Five, but made up for the leopard by going on a night hippo hunt and finding a hippo on someone's front lawn. The trip was extremely well planned, with a couple of rest days built in, and we had absolutely no problems whilst in Africa."
Sue Rudderheim USA · 2019
"My husband and I recently vacationed in South Africa. We had the same guide for the whole 11 day visit. Our initial impression of him, when meeting us at King Shaka Airport, was that he was friendly, polite and knew how to handle a person confined to a wheelchair. Note my husband is paraplegic who likes to be independent. He informed us that he would be with us for the entirety of our stay… He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the wildlife we encountered."
