Dear Mary, the whole experience from beginning to end was superb. The Mara was simply spectacular and was enhanced by “Safari Consultants” attention to detail in sourcing the perfect lodge, with staff falling over themselves to ensure we had the best holiday. First encounter of your company was speaking at length with Mary, providing my daughter and myself with the most suitable package – perfectly achieved! The communication and information sent out by post was first class – putting us at ease. All transfers worked brilliantly and looked after most welcoming by ‘Jackson’ of Benroso Safaris. The lodge was in a perfect location with animals freely wandering through – most exciting! Richard, our game drive guide was superb – friendly, informative and tried his hardest to ensure we were able to see as many different animals as possible. The rooms were presented beautifully – home from home! The food as excellent and being pescatarian caused no problem at all – all meals were expertly created and looking at all guests, always clean plates returning. Hospitality = 110%!! Pairing us with Eloise and her husband Joe was great – sharing our experiences each day was lovely. My first visit to Africa – our experience was truly magnificent – I’ve started saving for my next!! Huge Thanks.

Dear Michele, I and Tero want to thank you and the whole team for an unforgettable holiday in South Luangwa. It met all our expectations, and more. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. You knew exactly what we would like. The accommodation was superb. We enjoyed the drives very much, and had so many fantastic sightings. Walking is so great! You see, hear and smell so many different things (as you well know). The guides were excellent, and it is absolutely a good arrangement to have the same ranger the whole time. As for the wildlife, I think we saw everything that can be expected. I can imagine the number of animals you see is greater later in the season, but we don´t feel like we missing anything. The exciting scenes easily make up for the number of animals. We saw several leopards, more than ever before. Saw dogs several times as well, both from a car and on foot (also killing a bushbuck in the galley right in front of our chalet at Mwamba; the scene we could see in the full moon light). A porcupine, a serval, and seven out of nine mongooses they have in SL. First goliath heron and giant kingfisher, too. Thank you again. We will certainly contact you, when it is time for the next trip to Africa.

Hi Rob, we are back now and thoroughly enjoyed our trip and all you and your staff did to put this together. Your attention to detail and knowledge of the areas and matching with our interests all melded together to make a most memorable trip.

Hi Mary and Rob, we just wanted to thank you for all your help in organising our honeymoon. All of your recommendations were spot on! The logistics of all the transfers etc. were also seamless and we couldn’t have been more relaxed. When we left Botswana we tried to think of anything at all that could be improved and we couldn’t think of even the smallest thing. Constance Lemuria in the Seychelles was also much more than we expected and we absolutely loved it. Carana Beach Hotel is lovely, the private beach beautiful and we had excellent food there. Mason’s travel were really good too and everything went very smoothly with them. In Botswana the safari was great – we felt like we saw a lot and even saw a large pack of wild dogs hunting in Shinde. We thought the staff at Ker and Downey were just phenomenal and would love to go again.

Dear Rob, a personal message to thank you sincerely for the spectacular holiday you arranged for Denny and me in Namibia. Every excellent detail from the camps, the accommodation, the food, the game drives, the scenery, the flights, the timing of the year and the variety of different areas could only have come from a Company such as yours with all your experience because they were all superb. We had a fabulous time and quite frankly didn’t really want to come home! Thanks for your expertise and logistical brilliance.

Hi Julia, thank you so much for your wonderful work planning my holiday, I had a fantastic time, so many really special experiences, and have definitely got the “bug”! The staff at all the camps were so attentive and the locations were perfect, and I really appreciated your, and your team’s help and responsiveness throughout. Many thanks

Dear Michele, just to let you know that “you’ve done it again” and raised the bar; making it even more difficult to find somewhere next time that will come near to providing the same excellent standards and overall enjoyment. The VIP annex at the Victoria Falls was an unquestionable success. The Tongabezi Lodge was an absolute winner on all accounts: service, accommodation, location, food facilities etc. with the Dog House being a perfect choice of rooms. Their attention to detail in respect of every aspect was excellent. Many thanks

Hi Julia, we had a great time and all of your recommendations were perfect. I plan to contact you again in the future when we are ready for our next Africa vacation. The Kicheche camps were all great and unique in their own ways. It’s nice that they allow their managers to really run them with a great deal of autonomy. The food at Laikipia was AMAZING and on the level with many fine dining restaurants and the game viewing at Bush camp was exceptional. Thank you for all the recommendations and planning.
