Hi Rob, it is good to hear from you. It helps to remind me of the great trip that we had. Each of the camps was terrific in its’ own right. My favorite as you could probably guess was Old Mondoro. Everything about it was phenomenal and was topped off with our seeing a Pangolin the last night that we were there. Bilimungwe was such fun and Alex felt more like a friend than a host. I probably would not return to Kafue. Though the camp was okay it wasn’t up to the same standard as the first two. However, I loved the hot air balloon ride so that made it all worthwhile. Overall, it was a terrific trip and your planning and logistical arrangements were seamless. I have already spoken to others about you and Safari Consultants and will continue to recommend you in the future. Thank you again for planning this wonderful adventure.

Hi Mary, thank you ever so much for organising my wonderful holiday. Makanyi was superb – wonderful accommodation, great animal sightings (including black rhinos!) and very friendly staff. I will be returning. Once again, many thanks and I will be in touch to sort out another trip as soon as I can.

Dear Rob, thank you so much for arranging a very special birthday for me at Vundu. We had not mentioned anything so can only conclude that you must have alerted them to my elderly status and they went out of their way to make it a day to remember. It started by walking with the dog pack that is about to feature in “Dynasties” and then had a few close encounters of the elephant kind. One came right up to David in the van and nudged him with its tusks and after lunch we walked with Boswell as he stood on his hind legs to pull down branches on which to feed. Dinner concluded with 2 birthday cakes, one of the elephant dung variety which brought the house down and a delicious real chocolate one that was enjoyed by the whole camp. David will do his usual review over the next few days but I wanted to thank you now for making my birthday really special. We are busy downloading all the photos and can’t wait to look back on them as this was a great trip. You certainly know what we are going to enjoy.

Hi Frances, we had an absolutely wonderful honeymoon. Everything was planned perfectly and we were so impressed by the organisation. It was lovely not having to worry about a thing – there was so much detail in the wonderful pack you sent over that there wasn’t even a second where we were confused or stressed about the next part of our trip. Thanks to your notes letting everyone know we were on our honeymoon, everyone went above and beyond throughout the trip. We even ended up as the only people staying at the last camp, so we spent our entire honeymoon with a private driver, which was a nice bonus, and they made us feel very special. We were also incredibly lucky with wildlife, and even managed to see a leopard and her cubs. I don’t think there was a single moment we would have changed. Thank you again so much for creating such a wonderful honeymoon for us. Before we’d even arrived home we decided we will book another safari with you for our fifth anniversary. Although next time we’d like to visit Botswana!

Hi Joe, Lesley and I just wanted to say thank you for organising our wonderful holiday to Kenya and Zanzibar. We had an amazing time and have subsequently sorted through thousands of pictures and ordered an album of the best. Everyone was very welcoming wherever we stayed and all venues were amazing. The safari was especially good and exceeded our high expectations. We would rate the holiday 10/10 and would definitely recommend Safari Consultants to friends and family.

Another memorable holiday. Its success is due largely to Safari Consultants’ detailed personal knowledge of the camps there use and the fact that our agent Robert Slater knows exactly the kind of holiday we like.

Dear Julia, I wanted to send a personal note of thanks for making my 40th birthday one of the most memorable experiences of my life. On my return flight, I had a lot of time to marvel on the fact that you managed to make the experience so very personal and to my liking. This felt exceptionally special. I can’t say enough wonderful things about my trip and I’ll definitely be in touch again when I’m ready to plan my next African safari adventure!
