Africa is really wonderful and really beautiful. Vic Falls River Lodge and Marataba were great. Athol Place was picture perfect. Love their arts, crafts and t-shirts too. Thanks for organizing and hope to visit again soon. We truly love Africa!
Thanks again for the wonderful safari! Until the next time! Have a merry, merry Christmas and a wonderful 2015!
We loved the consistent level of excellent service at the camps and everything worked well. Game viewing was fantastic. We saw 3 lions (DumaTau), 11 leopards, 1 Cheetah (Chitabe), wild dogs at all the camps and lots of plains game. The birdlife was also great. We also took the helicopter flight at Seba for an amazing aerial view of the games and the delta. I would like to go to Kalahari Plains and my wife wants to go back to Victoria Falls in the peak flood season.
This is by far the most memorable vacation trip we have ever taken. Everyday during our safari was a new and amazing adventure. The thrill of seeing so many wildlife at close proximity were simply awesome and we enjoyed every minute of it. Kudos to Cherine for arranging the perfect itinerary for our first ever trip to Africa. Everything was wonderfully organised and we were so well taken care of throughout the trip. We will definitely consider AtoASafaris again for our next safari!
Kevin, I just wanted to thank you for putting together an amazing itinerary.
I have to say, I didn't believe you would be able to exceed Kenya but you absolutely did. Mombo was quite incredible, so much so the kids did not complain once about getting up at 6am four days on the trot! The water safari at Jao was also breathtaking and we saw some stunning sunsets too.
I will refer you to all my friends and I am also going to challenge you to try to beat this trip as somehow I think we will be back in Africa before too long!!
To Ailin, "Red and White Wines Exceptionally Fine, Black and White People Distinctly Kind, Fauna and Flora Galore in this Land, Experience and Hospitality Definitely Worth the Rands. A big Thank You for helping us organise this wonderful trip."
A to A’s service has been impeccable throughout our reservation process. The consultation process was detailed and personalized. There was proper follow-up from Day 1 to the day we depart. The safari experience in Africa is a must-do in one’s lifetime but one must be discerning to choose a safari operator that is in a private concession area. Nothing beats being completely immersed in nature and faraway from throngs of human traffic. There is a difference in the whole experience when one is in such an environment. A to A works primarily with such operators.
Hi Cherine. Overall, we were very glad that we had you as our consultant and would definitely engage you should we decide to go for another Safari!
The most special experience, however, is falling asleep with the elephant herd. Abu has a Star Bed, a sleep out deck that overlooks the elephant boma. Underneath just the safety of a mosquito net, stargazing up to the peaceful African evening sky, it is not difficult to drift off to peaceful slumber with the low rumblings of the elephants, whispering goodnight to one another in their own boma below. They say that elephants never forget. But in this case, the memories made with them will never be forgotten.
My family and I had the most enjoyable time on our first trip to Africa. The beauty of the country surpassed my expectations and I will definitely have to see more of the continent. Kudos to Rob for all the help and advice he gave in planning our itinerary and preparing us for our trip. The arrangements were all meticulously planned from the moment we arrived in Johannesburg to the moment we left. It was a stress-free vacation –the way a vacation should be.
