Rajiv and Jane from Kent travelled to Botswana and Zimbabwe

Dear Julia, we would just like to say we were especially impressed with our safari guide Frank who worked for Golden Africa Mobile Safari. He was the most knowledgeable guide we have ever known and had a genuine care for the environment. We were also pleased and impressed that all our travel arrangements and picks ups went so smoothly.

Neil and Sue from Surrey travelled to South Africa and Botswana

Dear Michele, in short, the trip was simply fabulous and exceeded most (if not all) our expectations. Much of the itinerary was just perfect and it is difficult to envisage how it might have been bettered. We want to thank you for all your hard work in customising our trip and making this such a wonderful holiday. Thank you too for responding so quickly and effectively to our delayed outward flight and onward travel rearrangements. This all proceeded without a further hitch and we were able to quickly forget about the rather stressful start to the holiday. Once again, many thanks.

Betty and Steph from Essex travelled to Botswana

Dear Michele, Botswana was, as usual fantastic and I know that Steph thought so as well. We both had an absolutely great time together, and all your arrangements, timings, connections, etc. went smoothly, as they always do. Thank you very much indeed for organising what was the perfect safari trip for us.

Brian and Diane from Hampshire travelled to Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe

Hi Frances. The main reason we decided on Safari Consultants was the attention to detail given in your responses to our quite thorough brief and the confidence given by the local knowledge of all of the options we were offered. The choice of Mashatu Tented Camp was perfect for us to experience the feeling of being in the bush without actually camping out. An amazing experience hearing the wildlife close by through the night. Watching the elephants at the waterhole whilst having dinner was magical. The setting and the people at Mashatu made for an authentic intimate Botswana experience. Kambaku again was perfect for what we were looking for. The thatched villas were luxurious and very well spread out over the grounds. A real sense of space. Of course Kambaku is a different experience to Mashatu, it is South Africa and not Botswana. The game drives were excellent. Some of the sundowner stops at Kambaku were stunning. The night skies at dusk were breath taking. In fact with the help of lions visiting over dinner, we saw the big five in the first afternoon and evening. What can we say about Victoria Falls. There is a very good reason it is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. To experience the power and beauty was very moving. Clive was brilliant and made this a memorable experience. The Zambezi sunset cruise was a marvellous end to what was a trip of a lifetime. The boat was excellent and staff brilliant and the sunset, unforgettable. With the benefit of hindsight would we have changed anything?…..No, and I think that says it all. So a very big thank you to you Frances and everybody at Safari Consultants and your African partners. It is quite remarkable that such a complex schedule went without a hitch. A compliment to all involved.

Paddy and Joan from Essex travelled to Botswana

Hi Michele, we had a wonderful time in Botswana; it was an exciting adventure for sure. Rather than just animal sightings (and there were tons) we were fortunate enough to be able to observe animals in their daily routine. Footsteps was my personal favourite camp – just 7 of them doing everything and making it all look so effortless and enjoyable. The walks were the best and just getting to camp from the airstrip was a real adventure. Loved it! Paddy particularly liked Selinda Explorers – especially the décor. Absolutely wonderful. It’s amazing how many experiences can be packed into less than two weeks – it’ll take many more than that to process it all. A lovely trip so thanks once again for your hard work to make it so for us.

Pauline and Derrick from Surrey travelled to Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana

Hi Rob, thank you so much for organising a fabulous holiday for us. We loved every minute of it and it far exceeded all our expectations (which were already high!). There were so many highlights and we are currently ploughing through and editing approximately 3,000 photos so are reliving all the memories. The Victoria Falls were magnificent, in full spate and Ilala Lodge was lovely. We loved the Chobe river, and the birdlife was superb. We saw about 60 elephants drinking at Elephant Bay which was memorable. The 3 safari camps were awesome. In every case the standard of accommodation was amazing, the food delicious and nothing was too much trouble. Our favourite camp was Shinde – the atmosphere and friendliness almost moved us to tears. At each camp we saw lots and a great variety of animals and birds. A highlight was a pride of nine lions at Selinda which, after an abortive warthog hunt, decided to flop down in the shade of our vehicle. They were so close I could have reached out and touched them. You have now thoroughly converted us to safaris and we have Namibia on the high wishlist.

David and Dorothy from Hampshire travelled to Botswana

Hi Michele, this is now the fourth time we have come to you with an outline of what we wanted to do. This time a focus on the Okavango Delta with a fully water based camp, a game based camp, a camp with mixed activities and a walking based camp. As previously, the itinerary you put together fully met the brief and we had a great holiday with experiences to remember. Many thanks once again for all the time and effort you put into this.

Elina and friends from London travelled to Zimbabwe and Botswana

Hi Frances, we are now back (only in body, not in soul) and we’d like to thank you for the loving care and effort you put into organising our trip. We all had the time of our lives! The animals, the sunsets, the warm people who looked after us, the landscapes and the adventures that took all of us in one way or another our of our comfort zones, will stay with us forever.
