What a great experience. Joshua is great at planning the trip as well as adjusting as needed. He is well organized, entertaining as well as quite knowledgeable about the areas. His insight and connections on the areas we visited is impressive to say the least. His knowledge on the patterns of the animals is astounding.His work with us in planning the trip was exceptional, he listened to what we wanted and tailored the trip accordingly.I would highly recommend booking with Joshua for any future safaris.

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.

I’m absolutely thrilled I chose One Niner Expeditions for my African safari experience — WOW. Every single day brought a new adventure, from spotting lions, elephants, hippos, and crocodiles lazing on the banks of the Olifants River, to exploring the majestic Zambezi in Zambia. We were constantly surrounded by incredible wildlife — from vibrant birdlife to graceful impalas — and were fortunate to have Joshua and Paul as our exceptional hosts.Having Joshua and Paul with us throughout our time in South Africa truly made this a dream trip. Their attention to every detail meant we didn’t have to think of a thing — nothing was ever too much trouble. Everything was taken care of with warmth and professionalism, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. While we said goodbye to Paul in South Africa, Joshua continued on with us to Zambia, where his local knowledge and connections elevated every moment. His insight, organization, and calm presence ensured the trip remained flawless from start to finish.Joshua and Pauls' professionalism and bushcraft and that of the guides and spotters were outstanding. Their deep knowledge of the ecosystem and thoughtful insights into conservation made the experience not only thrilling but deeply educational. One of the most unforgettable moments was walking with rhinos — literally just 15 feet away — peacefully sharing their space with baboons around us. It was an immersive, humbling encounter.Every detail was perfectly curated. The food was farm-to-table, organic, fresh, and utterly delicious — easily some of the best meals I’ve had. Our days began with early morning game drives and ended with dusk safaris as the nocturnal animals emerged. Coffee and freshly baked muffins in the morning, or a refreshing gin and tonic at sundown — every touch was thoughtful and elevated the experience.Unlike big tour groups, One Niner Expeditions offers an up-close, personal, and meaningful safari. A true highlight was joining a snare sweep with the incredible Black Mambas — the first all-female anti-poaching unit. Their dedication and philosophy of zero ecological impact were inspiring, and aligned perfectly with One Niner’s vision of conservation and community empowerment.Our time in Zambia was just as magical — from the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls to feeding orphaned elephants at the Elephant Café, cruising the Zambezi at sunset, and exploring local culture. Every moment was authentic, memorable, and soul-stirring.Thank you, One Niner Expeditions. You’ve set the bar incredibly high, and I can’t wait for my next African adventure with you.
