Guest experiences

Just returned from the second African adventure Danielle arranged for me and my family and, once again, she curated a magical experience.

The hotels and lodges were breathtaking, the service everywhere was exceptional, and the game drives were amazing and awe-inspiring.

On our trips, we have enjoyed Cape Town and Johannesburg as well as Kruger National Park. Dani is incredibly responsive; with just a little direction from us on dates and interests, she developed an itinerary that was perfect for us and booked everything within a few days.

All we had to do was show up; everything from road transfers to checking into accommodations to flights within South Africa worked perfectly. Had anything gone amiss, I always knew Dani was only a text away, but nothing did and we enjoyed every moment of our trip (just as we did on the earlier trip).

We’re already plotting our return and, when it’s time to head back, Dani will be my first call. I could not be more pleased with the advice and service she provides and I wholeheartedly recommend her and Safari Creators to anyone wishing to experience the wonder that is South Africa.

Danielle, Julia and I wanted to thank you again for helping us with the trip of our lifetime to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. The safaris far exceeded our high expectations and our timing in Zimbabwe was also great.

It took me 54 years to accomplish the number one item on my bucket list, and now I’m focused on how soon I can get back! Sharing some of our favorite pics with you…

We recently returned from a 22 day trip through South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe all planned out by Dani! Dani was recommended to us by my sister in law who used her last year to plan out her safari trip. My sister in law raved about the trip and about Dani so we thought this was our opportunity to do it too!

It was truly the most amazing trip we have taken! All the transportation in country and between African countries was handled flawlessly by Dani. We were so impressed with the organization of the trip; the safari lodge choices and the activities that Dani planned for us. So impressed that we have asked her to plan another Africa trip for us in 2028 visiting several other African countries. We are already excited about it!! We love Dani!

Hi Danielle, we wanted to thank you very much for all you arranged for us on our May 2026 trip to South Africa. We arrived Cape Town via a cruise ship early due to an incoming storm and within 2 hours of me contacting you, we were re-booked on an earlier flight and an extra night at Elephant Walk.

Our flights within South Africa were perfectly timed and arranged, our transfers between camps were on time and efficient, each of the four camps we visited were amazing, and of course having Marc as our guide from three years ago was the icing on the cake.

The service you provided to us was second to none, in all of our world travels we’ve never experienced this level of expertise and support. We are already planning to come back to Africa with you in the next couple of years.

Danielle was recommended to us by a friend here in Ireland. We contacted Dani to help us book and plan our honeymoon to South Africa. She did not disappoint. From the minute we contacted Danielle, we knew we were in safe hands. Always answering any query we had and adjusted our itinerary to suit us best.

We spent 5 days in Capetown, staying at The Winchester Hotel. This was a gorgeous stay, the hotel, the staff, location, everything was beautiful. We then moved to Kruger to go on Safari for 5 days. We stayed at Imbali lodge, again under Danielle’s recommendation. This was the highlight of our trip, we loved it so much that we are already planning our next trip back.

Danielle really made sure we were well looked after and nothing was ever an issue. We could contact Dani at anytime and she was always there to answer any questions we had.

We would highly recommend Danielle to anyone thinking of going travelling to S.A. She is so knowledgeable, patient with all our questions and on the other end of the phone any time we needed anything. She took the stress away from honeymoon planning and really was fantastic in every sense. We would 100% recommend to a friend without question!

Thank you for a holiday we will never forget Dani, cant wait for you to plan our next one!

I have known Danielle for many years as we used to work together on cruise ships. After that time, she opened Safari Creators and has helped many to create custom tours throughout southern Africa. I had always wanted to go on a trip to Africa and this year was finally that time!

I reached out to Danielle and she customized a tour to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana. I reached out to her and let her know the things I wanted to do and my general timeline. She reached out with accommodations for different budgets. She was very helpful and communicative throughout the entire process and made us all feel so comfortable! She was also so fast! The entire itinerary was confirmed within a week!

Our entire trip was fantastic and she confirmed everything along the way. All of the recommendations for accommodations and tours were fantastic! Everything on the trip exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend anyone wanting a tour to southern Africa reach out to Danielle! I would not hesitate to recommend her and Safari creators to any family and friends traveling to Southern Africa!

Highly recommend Danielle Sheedy to help you plan a safari to fit your specific budget and desires. Danielle was quick to respond and did a great job matching what I was looking for. I even added another guest to my party last minute and she worked hard to accommodate. Thanks Dani, our safari was absolutely dreamy!

Danielle is the best travel professional I’ve ever worked with. She gets to know her clients and listens to their needs and personal preferences. Her ability to create custom experiences is because she deeply loves her home and greater region of Africa. As well, she is genuine, authentic, caring and supportive before, during and after your entire journey.

I can’t wait to return to Africa and explore even more in the near future, because Danielle is the ultimate Safari Creator. Thank you for helping make my lifelong dream come true!

Danielle was fantastic to work with and we would highly recommend her if you are planning a trip to Africa! She organized our accommodation, activities and transportation all with excellent recommendations based on our vision for our trip. She even checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble, even during our trip she was still organising for us. Thanks Danielle for an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

I cannot recommend Danielle enough! She has been SO helpful both before our trip and the entire time we have been in South Africa (3 weeks). So responsive, suggesting options and everything we were lucky enough to experience was all due to her amazing recommendations. The best Safari (seeing the big 5 more than once), fabulous accommodations options and transport at the click of finger! South Africa now has such a special place in my heart thanks to Danielle, and I will be forever grateful.

Danielle has been incredible so easy to contact when needed would organise transfers, tours etc at the drop of a hat. Our South African experience was incredible thanks to Safari Creators! 100% recommend.

A fabulous SA adventure… Danielle worked her magic as we were trying to organise our last minute safari destinations… she had it in hand straight away making all the arrangements and helping us to refine our travels. Her experience and expertise made our safari such a memorable adventure. Thank you so much! We will never forget it x

We had one of our best holidays yet, thanks to Danielle from Safari Creators! She was fantastic, she let us sit back and relax while she planned our getaway. Thank you a million times over!

Danielle helped put together the trip of a lifetime for us, from the moment we arrived in South Africa everything ran smoothly. Amazing hotels, easy transfers and first class service throughout.
