What People Say

Liza M.

We recently worked with Africa Adventure Consultants to plan our honeymoon, and it was an out-of-this-world experience. From start to finish, the service we received was nothing short of exceptional. They were incredibly organized and attentive to our needs. Their recommendations were so perfect for us. We were consistently amazed by the adventures they had planned for us. They made the entire planning process so enjoyable and fun. Our safari experience was the best trip of our lives (and we travel A LOT). We literally cried when it was over. We are already looking forward to working with Africa Adventure Consultants again. I would give 100 stars if I could.

Four of us just returned from a month’s trip that included stops in Nairobi, a safari in Tanzania, beaches in Zanzibar, Victoria Falls, Cape Town, and the wine country in South Africa. Africa Adventure Consultants was the architect of our adventure and it was amazing. All of our stops included private guides that met us at the airports and escorted us during our visits. The knowledge and expertise of literally every one of those guides was incredible. The accommodations were fantastic and the local staff provided a level of service that you have to experience to believe. The people we met, the sights we saw, the individual experiences we had, made this the trip of a lifetime for us. Thanks to Africa Adventure Consultants and their partners for making this so special for us.
