South Africa

“My husband and I just returned from a wonderful trip in South Africa. The focus was safari, and AtoA really did a wonderful job in tailor making a trip to meet our specific requirements. The parks, lodges and hotels we stayed in were excellent, and truly felt at ease and relaxed in terms of travel logistics etc within the country as every detail was taken care of efficiently by the AtoA team. Thank you for great service and we will most definitely be back to cover more of Africa!”

“We are back from Africa, and unfortunately for me, back to work too soon. I just want to thank you for helping us have the best time ever! Jeremy, we appreciate all of the arrangements made. And you are right, two weeks was too short. We would really like to go back as soon as we are able to save enough. Mala Mala was great... we saw the big five in two days! Highlight for us was breakfast among lions on our last day. We also loved Le Quartier Francais and dinner at the Tasting Room. I never thought I would get through an 8-course meal, but the chef was just brilliant.

“Great lodging, excellent food, superb service, breathtaking sunsets, and incredible close encounters with the wild. Trip of a lifetime! Thank you for everything AtoA, couldn’t have done it without you.”

“Overall, it was as what we expected. No bad surprises or mishaps from the organization or unfortunate logistic problems like delays or cancellations. We saw lots of animal at very close range. Ngala is a fantastic place on all aspects. VF Safari Club is more like a small boutique hotel but with character and nice people to make you enjoy your stay.”

“We were first time travellers to South Africa for our honeymoon and it was an excellent excellent decision to heed a friend’s recommendation to plan the trip with A to A. We are well-travelled fussy travellers and were extremely satisfied with A to A’s recommendations, very personal service, and attention to detail – understanding your personalities and preferences to provide great accommodation and itinerary recommendations, pre-departure briefings, tour / restaurant bookings, checking on you during the trip, etc.

“Asia to Africa Safaris helped us plan our honeymoon down to every last detail. Our local guides were learned, friendly, and fun, and they coordinated a balanced mix of safari drives, museum-hopping, train travel, and sightseeing (not to mention kayaking, biking, and mountain-climbing).

“We still salivate when we remember our meals, the best of which Asia to Africa Safaris booked for us in advance. And we learned a great deal – but not nearly enough – about this continent. We had an unforgettable time and hope to come back!

“The first time in my 20 odd years of travelling that a travel agency has gone to such lengths in providing personalized service and to ensure that everything goes well (though hiccups inevitably happen – just Murphy’s Law at work). A big thank-you to Yu Ling for doing such a terrific job of arranging and helping to plan for our trip! For those planning a safari to South Africa, don’t miss Tswalu in the Kalahari Desert! A unique place of unrivaled beauty, with wild animals sighted every minute of your travel (though the animals travel in very small groups due to the harsh environment).

“Asia to Africa is extremely reliable and responsible in what they do. Their agents are professional and efficient in organizing the itinerary, making amendments, dealing with bookings and responding to queries through various modes. The best part was that they allowed you to take part in planning the itinerary and allowed for almost anything that we requested. Thanks to their expert help, we were able to experience South Africa to its utmost. The agency also recommends good hotels and restaurants and their quoting for hotels are similar/very close to that quoted by the hotel itself.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with A to A and one of the highlights was going to Franschhoek. It was so beautiful and the wines were so good specially at Glenwood. La Petite Ferme was one of the best restaurants on the trip and the food was to die for and the company exquisite. We walked the town and enjoyed the all the galleries and art pieces, particularly the sculptures and the beautiful paintings. We even met one of the painters herself! We then drove to see the University town of Stellenbosch and it was definitely worth our while.

“I just wanted to write to thank Rob for the great job in arranging our tour. We are all very happy with the outcome! It was not just the destination but the people we met along the way and their great service and hospitality that made this trip very memorable. Personally, this was one of my favorite vacations ever! :) I’m starting to reconsider my career now... so sad to be in front of my PC again when there’s so much world to see. Many thanks again!”
