Customer Appreciation
“I just really wanted to take the time to thank you and the Africa Safari company for everything you did for me and my friend James in getting our trip set up. I can say for the both of us that it was one of the most awesome experiences of our entire lives; really a dream come true. The private reserve was excellent: excellent service, excellent guides, excellent food, and of course, excellent animals! Anyways, it was a realy joy for me, and I want you to know that you helped me and my friend live out a dream we’ve had since we were kids watching the discovery channel. It really was amazing. I’ve heard people go to Kruger itself, and have a much less fascinating time. The private game reserve really was the way to go, and you picked an awesome one.“

“Our trip was great! We decided to take the Serengeti balloon trip which was amazing. Very lucky to see lions and cheetahs from the balloon. Our guide was terrific! He has the well deserved nick name of “The Professor”. He gave us many many interesting insights into what we were seeing. His English was perfect and he was very articulate and had a sense of humor. He also, made a plan each day to focus on seeing specific animals. This was very efficient and by researching their whereabouts before we set out, we got spectacular views. This being my second trip (first time with African Safari Company), it was far and away better than my first in all regards including our guide.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

“First off, everything was amazing! I have never really traveled with a travel guide before and it made a world of difference. Thank you for all of your hard work. Our [Kilimanjaro] guides were incredibly knowledgable, not only about the route itself but also about the fauna/animals. The equipment was in great condition and we had a lot more than I expected. A bathroom tent was a great luxury! The food was amazing for what they had to work with and our porters went above and beyond by supporting us and even meeting us halfway down the summit with orange juice. Overall, it was fantastic and again, thank you for your recommendations and for all the coordination.”

“I want to extend a heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you and Mike for all your help organizing and insuring we had a great trip. We saw a huge variety of animals. On our second night the Wildebeest crossed right in front of our camp. We woke up to thousands of them crossing just below the campsite – it was wonderful. We had an amazing trip that created memories we will never forget. Our friends and family have only seen a few of the pictures and are extremely jealous of trip each wishing they could have gone with us. Thank you again for assisting us to make this dream trip come true!
Forever grateful,”

“Our trip to Egypt and Jordan couldn’t have been more perfect. I am so grateful for my first phone call to you and how promptly and efficiently you provided us a trip of a life time! Of course, we will refer many to you and your company for any African voyages.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful trip and if it’s possible, it exceeded our expectations. Everything was first class from the accommodations at the Nairobi Serena to Sweetwater to Lake Nakuru and finally to Masai Mara. We saw game of every imaginable type and have over 700 pictures to prove it. :-) Our guide was excellent. He provided a wealth of knowledge and has a real sense of where the animals were to be found. We have shared out wonderful experience with family and friends and have recommended African Safari Company to all. Please use us as a reference if you’d like. We had such a great time and are anxious to recommend you and your company to others. All of the travel documents you provided were especially helpful and also contributed to making this trip so very special.”

“We just wanted to thank you ever so much in a quick email for the AMAZING trip you planned for us. We had an INCREDIBLE time and were not anticipating that we’d be wanting to return there so soon, but we do! Everything was just magical and perfect – what a beautiful country! Every day topped the last, and now that we’re getting back into the swing (so so hard to do!), we are continually ever thankful to have had your help in planning our first adventure as husband and wife.”

“Wanted to let you know our safari was amazing! Thank you for all of your help! It was truly the trip of a lifetime! The lodges and camps were super (Gibbs Farm and Sweetwaters were my favorites) and our safari guides were excellent! We had a lot of fun together and their knowledge of wildlife and various regions was exceptional! We will recommend African Safari Co. to our friends and family!”

“The trip was nothing short of AMAZING!!!! Africa exceeded my expectations and I am already scheming on how to get back there with my family! Thank you for all that you did to make it happen. A trip of a lifetime, but hopefully not the last!”
Gail DeBell

“My family and I returned from Africa last week. I want to thank you for arranging the most magical adventure we could have imagined! Every day, every experience was extraordinary. The lodges in Botswana and Zambia were lovely if not spectacular and we were made welcome and well taken care of at each. Every transfer occurred without a hitch and without need for us to worry about a thing – it all flowed perfectly. The day we spent in Johannesburg was very touching and each of us learned much about history and about ourselves. We are filled with memories of ‘ellies’, thundering falls, beautiful people, their history and much more. A wonderful experience – I think we have been ‘bitten’ by Africa and will be looking for a way to return. All the best and many thanks again.”

“Our trip summed up in three words — best vacation ever!!!! It was perfect in every way! We loved our accommodations and the lodges, all the meals were absolutely delicious, the activities were unforgettably great, and most of all, the people at the lodges were wonderful! Everyone treated us like gold and we loved their warmth, kindness, friendliness, and extraordinary hospitality. The only drawback was that we couldn’t stay longer! 
The trip was a dream come true and I can’t thank you enough for arranging it all for us! A very BIG thank you, Mike!”

“I want to thank you for an absolutely wonderful vacation you helped to plan for my husband and myself. We had a fabulous time. My husband is hard to please, but I knew he had a great time, when he said, “This is one of the best vacations…ever!” We especially liked going to the small tented camps and having our private cars to ourselves! Transfers were flawless. Always on time and helpful with our luggage. We enjoyed all the camps. We really enjoyed Mara Plains. THE BEST. We loved the night drives. The scouts/guides were so knowledgeable. We got some wonderful pictures.”
My thanks to you again. We had the time of our lives.”

“Thanks so much for organizing a truly incredible experience for myself and my daughter in Tanzania and Kenya! I was clueless on what to do or where to go. Your advice was splendid and the guide companies in each country were great. Thanks so much for your patient assistance. You made it happen!”
Karleen Davis
Boise, ID
“We loved the safari. The places you set us up in South Africa were terrific. The game drives were amazing and we really enjoyed our guides and trackers. The flights and transfers worked perfectly. Mozambique was nice but not nearly as special as the small places that we stayed in the game reserves. My kids (even the 17 year old boy) just loved South Africa and the whole family hopes to go back soon.”
Barbara Goff
Seattle, WA
“I am writing you to tell you that my daughter and I had a fantastic time on our safari! Everything was like clock-work and I really cannot tell you how pleased we were. Our favorite place by far was Samburu, followed by Maasai Mara. Our guides at Samburu, were simply incredible and we made friends for life. I am planning on going back for the migration in August of 2012. Again, thanks for all you do!”

“My experience in Africa was absolutely wonderful, better than words can describe. The entire trip was seamless because of your impeccable planning. Our accommodations were perfect, especially in Arusha and Zambia. I want to thank you, Mike, for helping us with this adventure. It is more than I ever expected, and every penny spent was worth it. I would recommend your services to anyone who asks. As a person who has traveled abroad on numerous occasions, I was elated at the level of service you provided. It was by far the most organized and thought through trip that I have taken.”

“We are back and I thought you might find a short report on our trip of interest. We had a terrific time and wanted not to leave after three weeks. The experiences we had in Tanzania, Botswana and at Victoria Falls were absolutely wonderful. The safari companies you arranged for us were excellent especially in Botswana. The trip was an experience we will never forget and we like to think that we will go back someday. Many thanks for your help.”
Shige Watanabe

“The trip you arranged for me was absolutely amazing I kept a daily journal and took over a 1000 pictures. I had some experiences that I’ll never forget. Amazing adventure. I’m developing the journal and some of pictures into a book for children. I am definitely thinking about going back again soon. I just wanted to write and say thanks. It was a wonderful trip and I certainly want to do it again. I fell in love with Tanzania, the people, and most of all the ecosystems there. I think I could live there and be at home.”

I’ve more great photos than I’ll know what to do with. We’re already talking about a return. Thanks for all of your recommendations and help. It was a great family trip, and a successful celebration of Stephanie’s graduation. We’re grateful.”
