What People Say

Peggy, Jenny, and Julie White

San Francisco, California

We had the most remarkable time in Tanzania with Kent Redding, upon the recommendation of a friend that had been on safari the previous summer. When traveling in Africa, you want to know that someone understands your needs. Let me tell you, Kent thought of everything and saw us through mishaps (loss of luggage) and multiple flights, etc., not to mention the most amazing trip we have ever experienced and he is an absolute blast, to boot! He is not only knowledgeable of the African flora, fauna and cultures, he is as enthusiastic as we are about this magnificent place. We have traveled all over the world and must say this was our most memorable trip and far exceeded our expectations. We cannot thank Africa Adventure Consultants enough.

The process of planning was an exciting part of the trip. You made us feel like we were the only clients you were working with at any given time. The flow of the trip was excellent…..the excitement just kept on building. We will all be ambassadors for AAC and South Africa.
