Zimbabwe Safari. Ms Waddington

  • Zimbabwe

We had a wonderful holiday, thank you. Everything went according to plan and there were no problems whatsoever with any of the arrangements.
Without exception, everyone we met in Victoria Falls, Hwange and Mana Pools was friendly and helpful, and always happy to sit and chat between drives.

Particular highlights were the Elephant Express – what a fabulous experience and thank you for suggesting it as a means of getting to Hwange. A really wonderful way of spending a few hours – along with the food and drink, of course! We were fortunate enough to see two male lions on a number of occasions and also an afternoon spent in a hide by a waterhole watching elephant drinking and generally splashing around will never be forgotten.

The four days in Mana Pools were out of this world – I think it’s probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited and many a happy hour was spent gazing out at the Zambezi listening to the hippos! Another highlight there was the wild dog which we saw on two or three occasions.

To be honest, I didn’t have very high expectations of the food we would get at Mana Pools but it was fantastic. I have no idea how the chef created the various dishes using just a couple of gas rings in a tiny little area behind the main tent!

So, thank you again for all your suggestions in planning the itinerary – very much appreciated.

South Africa Garden Route and Safari. Mr & Mrs Baker.

  • South Africa

We got back yesterday after an amazing trip.
You looked after us so well that we would certainly recommend you to our friends.
The accommodation exceeded our expectations and was wonderful without exception.
The safari was our highlight I think, and our guide Josh was great company and so knowledgeable.
All in all a great holiday.

Mr and Mrs Baker, West Sussex. South Africa Garden Route and Safari. September 2018

Rwanda gorilla trek. Mr and Mrs Shayer.

  • Rwanda

We wanted to send you a huge thank you as we had the most incredible experience in Africa, with the Rwandan gorillas as a huge highlight!

It was a once in a lifetime adventure and it was certainly helped by the wonderful help, care and expertise from the ground staff – in particular our driver/guide.
All the hotels that we stayed in were of great quality and we would highly recommend them, along with the fabulous staff.

The itinerary that you planned and organised for us was fabulous and it was done in the right order too.
The Dian Fossey trek was amazing and we are thrilled that we did it. But I would like to let you know for your future clients, to be informed that you do need to have a very good level of fitness as it is a long steep trek, at a high altitude which doesn’t help with the difficulty.

The standout part for us both was obviously the gorillas and we would highly recommend this anyone that is interested in doing this type of adventure. The tour guides, porters and trackers were incredible and really helped in making this a unforgettable experience!

It was absolutely amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and with your expertise in organising this wonderful trip and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Mr and Mrs Shayer, Amsterdam. Rwanda Gorilla Trek, September 2018.

Self-drive Namibia. Mr and Mrs Doyle

  • Namibia

We had the most fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived to leaving everything ran so smoothly.

The mix of our accommodation worked really well.  The country is like nothing I have ever seen before, every journey we took going from lodge to lodge was just awe inspiring.

Every place we visited was truly an adventure and amazing places to stay.  This trip will forever stay in our minds as a most fantastic holiday.

Mr and Mrs Doyle, Co. Wicklow. Self-drive Namibia, October 2023.

Explore Namibia. Mr&Mrs Johnson

  • Namibia

The trip certainly lived up to and in some ways exceeded our expectations. Everything ran smoothly with very few hitches.
Vincent was an excellent guide and driver – a fine ambassador for Namibia. The whole group got on well with some shared interests and Vincent quickly tapped in to what we all wanted stopping for photography etc. He was certainly an integral part of the group and we were delighted to be able to take pictures of him on his phone showing Sesriem Canyon full of water for him to show ‘his grandchildren’, so rare is that occurrence.

All the accommodation was first class with very good food. It would be unfair to single out any particular place as they all had the own unique character. We were particularly pleased with our decision to stay the extra night at Okonjima – a perfect way to relax after the early starts and long days along with the close up views of the big cats.

We really appreciated the attention to detail that went into the trip. The trip was well planned with quiet days following the long journeys. We enjoyed all aspects of the trip; seeing so much wildlife in Etosha and the Africat visit were probably the main highlights, but seeing so much beautiful wild scenery, the stay on the coast and climbing the dunes at Sossusvlei & descending into Deadvlei were not far behind. What was also very special that day was to see the sunrise, the sunset and then full-moon rise over the desert when out on our ‘sundowner’.

We’d certainly recommend the trip and Namibia as a country to visit.
Many thanks again for your help in putting together such a memorable holiday

Mr and Mrs Johnson, High Wycombe. Explore Namibia, October 2018
