Hi Michele, I just wanted to let you know that we’re back safely and we had a wonderful time. You couldn’t have done a better job in organising the holiday — it did everything I had hoped for and more.

We have complete satisfaction with Safari Consultants and Jane, our trip organiser. From our first enquiries about a possible safari to Africa we received, both by telephone and email, a wealth of detailed information and suggestions to suit both our capabilities and our pockets. The whole trip was organised with an attention to detail that was meticulous and unerringly accurate. All our accommodation proved excellent, routes were clearly marked and sensible journey times were suggested. It was obvious that we were dealing with someone who had extensive personal experience of travel in the whole area and was prepared to go to considerable lengths to ensure that we had a wonderful and safe trip. Many thanks to you Jane for all your hard work on our behalf and for your never-failing courtesy and pleasant manner. You’re more than just a travel consultant to us and we would recommend both you and Safari Consultants, without reservation.

Chris & I thought the itinerary worked well with the camps, the order in which we stayed at them, and the number of nights. We thought you’d translated our tastes and requests into an excellent itinerary. The welcome at all the camps was excellent but the staff at Islands of Siankaba went above and beyond.

Rob, we just wanted to let you know that we had such a wonderful and exciting time in S Africa, Botswana. We enjoyed the camps we stayed at, each offering a different perspective of Africa. We can’t sneeze at 6 leopard sitings, cheetahs, lions, giraffe’s mating and the list goes on and on and on. Nottens and Shinde were especially special. Chase, at Nottens is an amazing person. So knowledgable and you could tell that he enjoys his life as it is in his part of the world. Our accomodations were EXCELLENT!…..And the food! Oh my! SO DELICIOUS! We shall never forget such a wonderful experience and we both thank you so much for taking care of every detail. Florence and I will be contacting you about a return trip in 2014.

Hi Rob, I cannot believe how long we have been back from the most amazing honeymoon and I haven’t emailed to say THANK YOU. You organised a most INCREDIBLE trip, it was truly special for both Charlie and I. We loved every minute of it and as you can imagine Charlie is already talking about heading back to Africa. I cannot thank you enough for working tirelessly over planning it all for me. Everything worked like clockwork and it was a very relaxing way to travel. All in all a brilliant trip, thank you.

My wife and I have booked a trip to Rwanda, Kenya and Zanzibar for September. Michelle Cooper dealt with this and gave an excellent service, setting out various options clearly with the relevant pros and cons. She dealt patiently with a whole host of fool questions from me and in the end the trip sounds quite fantastic. Subsequently my son wanted to book a very cheap safari and I contacted your company to see if they could help or advise. Even though we were below your price range Jonny gave good, clear advice about time of year and options and quite unbidden came up with a possible trip that you could arrange. Even though we are not taking this one up we have been impressed with the friendliness, helpfulness, clarity and sheer professionalism of Michelle and Jonny. Both have also responded with impressive promptness at all time. So my thanks to both of them and I wanted you to know how well we have been served.

Hi Michele, I hope you have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon! Thanks again for being so helpful; we’ve never had such good holiday service before and we’re feeling very confident that everything will go well.

This was a first-rate holiday and we don’t think you are going to be able to better it or even equal it…….now, there’s a challenge! It was a true wilderness experience and we loved pretty much every minute. You got everything in absolutely the right order, and we were so glad to finish in the quiet atmosphere of Tswalu (quite liked the pampering too).

Having now completed our first Botswana safari we appreciate more fully how thoughtfully you had put the itinerary together. This was also commented on very favourably by other travellers we met and talked to and who wanted to know who had set up our safari. Very many thanks for that. Everyone we met in Botswana and Namibia was welcoming, pleasant and helpful. We cannot remember such universal warmth on any previous trip we have made. In our time we have both visited about 100 different countries either for work or pleasure.

I cannot express my enjoyment of the trip to the full extent!! Jonny gave us exceptional advice and support and everything provided prior to the trip was detailed and relevant. We would do the whole thing again….tomorrow!! A fantastic experience which outstripped the expectations and this was largely due to the organization and professionalism of staff.
