Different from all other safari options, a unique experience in Sabi Sands and Kruger! - As travelers from another country, trusting people and making upfront payments can feel uncertain. However, Shaun and his team provided us with one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. We enjoyed two different safari adventures in Sabi Sands and Kruger Park—one on paved roads with a more distant view of the animals, and the other an off-road journey offering a more exclusive experience. Our guide, Mylord, was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us spot the wildlife. A big thank you to Shaun and his team for making our holiday truly extraordinary!

Great experience at best value possible - We had Kruger and Sabi Sands Safaris with Socioolite. Shaun and his team were extremely helpful on each stage. They made sure we are on good hands on each step. They were always available regardless of the time. We have reached out to 10+ companies and Socioolite offered the best value, and made things possible that others could not. Thanks Shaun and the team, we will be back.

I would do it all again with Shawn and team! - Shawn and team were the best. They were friendly, ensured I felt safe, gave me the right information, tried to ensure my experience fit what I was looking for as a person and even went out of their way and also ensured that it was all curated with the best price possible even if it meant a lower profit to themselves. I really had a fabulous experience of visiting Soweto, Joburg CBD where I got some history of the art scene and the magnificent Mariam Makeba grafitti and a visit to the Mandela House. We had a local lunch together in Soweto while indulging in cultural conversation. Highly recommend.

Amazing & Educational Experience - I was grateful to have the opportunity to have Shaun as our local tour guide. He was amazing, shared educational details about each location, took great photos of us along the away and kept us safe/comfortable in the two days we spent touring with him! Shaun answered all of our questions and gave us a personalized experience that I will never forget. I left the tour with so much insight and knowledge that I didn’t have before my arrival in South Africa. You won’t be disappointed by booking him!

Johannesburg/Soweto tour - Shaun took my family around Johannesburg and Soweto. He gave us great insight into the history of the areas we went to. He was very knowledgeable and I gained a lot from him. I highly recommend Shaun for a personal tour!
