We had a wonderful time, and we saw so much, thank you! Your advice was perfect, right on point, in every way; we were much better prepared than the other people we met in Africa. We really appreciated everything you did for us. It was all wonderful and better than we expected. All the arrangements were excellent and so was the itinerary. Thank you very much for a fabulous African safari experience!
Thank you for helping to put together a trip-of-a-lifetime for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. It was a true marvel to see the scenery, the animals, but most especially the people. Our experiences at the camps and lodges were extraordinary: the accommodations, the food, the game drives and the guides and trackers. But the chance to go with a high-ranking Zulu to his village and see what life was really like…. wow! Just now loading up 4,400 photos on the computer.
After eight African safaris with you, Andrew, we have become old friends, and the planning of the trip with you is always part of the fun. Thank you for your insights, advice and attention to detail. Every safari has been special in its own way, and we look forward with excitement to seeing Zambia again soon and its magnificent wildlife.
Our safari was way better than I could have imagined. We were very impressed with the safari operator. The level of service, food, etc. was unsurpassed and consistently good. We give all the properties 10 out of 10. Thank you so much for your help in making this our best vacation ever.
Our expectations were definitely met! Everything was perfect. You were very pleasant to work with, Andrew, and I felt very confident with your expertise and knowledge. You are detail-oriented, and I appreciate that. Always good to talk with you and get questions answered. Thanks for the surprise birthday arrangements for Tom!
I truly appreciate your attention to detail. You are a real professional. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you from the start. You have always been so delightful. I want to say a big ‘Thank You’ for my birthday champagne and cake. It was the most special celebration of my life, and I am extremely grateful. I’ll never forget that night.
I now know what my friends were talking about when they would go on and on about the rapture of their African safari. Thank you, Andrew!
We had a great time in Kenya and loved every minute. The people, the facilities and the animals were great. We are pleased to say that all the arrangements you made went off just as planned. Thanks for a job well done, and for all your help in making Africa a wonderful experience for us.
I want to thank you for arranging a magnificent trip to Kenya for us. Everything was beyond expectations. Each camp offered different and unique experiences. In every case, the facilities were not only comfortable, but unique and in harmony with their surrounding environment. The staff at every camp could not have been more accommodating and sincerely dedicated to our enjoyment. Of course, there was also the amazing African landscape and wildlife. One must experience it to truly understand what nature has created. From our first elephant sighting to the last day at Giraffe Manor, I was completely in awe of everything I saw, an experience that I will never forget. Thank you for the birthday champagne and cake. Our hosts treated me to a Masai birthday dance: I doubt I will ever have a more memorable day. Now I must re-adjust to our normal routine, but I will have many memories and feelings from Africa to keep me inspired. You are an extraordinary African safari planner. Again, our thanks for an amazing trip.
I long to do another trip to Africa, and would only do it with you doing the planning again. The trip you did for me and my friends is still the best trip I have ever taken. If anyone ever needs a referral from me for a safari, they will get one: you are the best!
Our safari was everything we imagined and more: a perfect Ten, including the food! It was very well organized and the hosts, guides and staff made the whole trip seem to revolve around just us. Thanks for setting up the trip-of-a-lifetime for us. We have recommended you – and an African safari - to everyone we know.
The trip exceeded our expectations. Everyone was excellent: polite, generous, patient, thoughtful… the list goes on and on. I was surprised that every place was able to accommodate my food allergies. Never have we encountered such superb treatment. The food was great, the animal-viewing staggering and the close wildlife encounters awesome. We liked each place for different reasons. Being able to go to Mass was wonderful; thanks for that special effort.
We really got a thrill out of the trip. It was not just the wildlife, but the whole African Experience. I wish we could complain(!), but we can’t come up with anything negative. We were really impressed by the extensive knowledge of the guides. There was not one question that went unanswered. Not only was the safari a unique experience, it was also an exciting adventure. Andrew, we trust your experience and judgment, as well as your insistence on doing a safari the right way. Thank you!
I remember my Africa trips very fondly, and I could not have been happier with the arrangements. I have had such wonderful experiences on the several safaris you have planned for us, and I am indebted to you, Andrew, for that.
Thanks so much for all your hard work in organizing this trip-of-a-lifetime with great friends. The safari totally exceeded our expectations, and we felt well prepared. We had a fantastic time in Africa and we were so impressed with the guides’ knowledge. The food was wonderful and plentiful and there was always a nice selection (we each gained five pounds). What wonderful memories we will cherish for years to come!
The safari was better than I imagined. The hosts and guides were all excellent. The food was delicious everywhere. This was by far one of the best game-viewing safaris I have ever been on, and I will definitely be back. Great job!
Thank goodness we found you before signing up on that ‘package tour’! We loved the safari that you planned for us. On one occasion, we asked our guide to take us to the place in the park frequented by the minivan convoys of tourists on package tours, just so we could see what we had nearly signed up for. It was dreadful! We cannot thank you enough for showing us the real Africa. There is a sign in our local jewelry store and it says “The bitter taste of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten”. That says it all!
Thank you, Andrew, for a fantastic safari. We were looked after wonderfully, from the moment we arrived at the airport until we returned at the end of the trip to board our plane home. It was great to return to Africa again.
The trip was everything we could have imagined, and then some. We would not change anything; it was well thought-out and well planned. We rate the hosts, guides and staff 100-plus.
Everyone was so helpful, making sure we were taken care of. The food was amazing. In short, the safari was everything we imagined and more.
Hard to say it was better than expected - but it WAS. It was extraordinary. Everything was top-notch at the safari camps, including the personalized service. We saw some tour buses at one point. Horror! We are so glad we booked with you and not on one of those package tours.Escape to the sunny beaches of the Caribbean with safariconsultant.com.

My safari was everything I imagined. The hosts and guides were great, food was plentiful, everything went smoothly. I recommend Safari Consultants of London (USA), without a doubt.
As you know, since our 1999 safari we have done a lot of international traveling, but we can honestly say that the African safari you planned for us was the best trip we ever took.
I just think what you did for us was amazing. We saw almost everything on the drive from the airstrip to the first lodge!
I can’t imagine why anyone would book an African safari with anyone else! You are a former Professional Safari Guide; you know all the safari destinations and best places intimately; you plan everything from start to finish, and you are on hand to answer all our questions, seven days a week. Before you, I had contacted a safari operator directly. It was a pain to communicate with them, and your safari was even less expensive. Go figure!
You put together such a memorable safari for us; it could not have been more perfect. You have a special place in our lives after creating such a wonderful adventure for us in Botswana and Zimbabwe!
The trip was spectacular. Thank you so much for the terrific organization/guidance you provided. We all carry lifelong memories of such a unique experience. Our guide was fantastic, making for an amazing learning experience for all. We enjoyed being with him, and I don’t think we encountered any staff members at any of the camps who were not friendly and service-oriented. Thanks again! We’ll be happy to provide your name to friends considering a similar trip.
Your organization and presentation is thoughtful and impeccable. My kudos to your organization of travel and your choices. I am sky-high with excitement, blown away with the fulfillment of satisfaction. We appreciate all your terrific planning. Each day was the trip of a lifetime!
Unbelievably, while it was almost 20 years ago, my memory of our safari is so vivid; the big elephants and rhinos up close, the vast herds of zebra and Thomson’s gazelles, the sunsets and sundowner cocktails…. really incredible. What a trip!
The safari was everything we imagined and more. We have not stopped talking about it, and it was great from beginning to end. The level of service at each place was superb. Everyone was so accommodating and they couldn’t do enough for you. The organization and execution was beyond compare, and we liked the pace of the safari. The food was outstanding. This was truly a great vacation, absolutely our best trip ever!
Thanks for all that you did. Everything was beyond our wildest expectations. All of the locations were great, and everyone was wonderful, so kind and accommodating. It was the trip of a lifetime! We cannot think of a single thing to criticize. We are already contemplating a future African safari in another two to three years. We will be calling you again! Thanks.
We are wrapping up our Kenya safari this evening with a gala dinner in Masai Mara. It all worked beautifully, and the camps were great. For Dave’s birthday, there was a surprise cake and celebration, with local dancers putting on a show for us all! The whole safari was a ten out of ten!
We had a most wonderful time. It has been beyond amazing, exceeded every expectation. Thank you! Almost every day was the ‘highlight of the trip’. It has been the greatest experience of our lives. Going to four different locations was perfect. Everything was really well organized, and everyone was so nice, kind and knowledgeable. The accommodations and food were wonderful, and the safari experiences were all incredible. It is such an easy trip, and everything is taken care of for you. We are already contemplating our next trip!
Many thanks for arranging our wonderful safari. We had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed our accommodations. Not only were the rooms beautifully appointed, but the meals were delicious. We even requested recipes from Ol Donyo Lodge. The transfers all went smoothly and everyone was on top of their game throughout the trip, including our incredible guides. Not to be outdone, the animals were absolutely amazing – so many of them up close or doing something unique and exciting. It will be a trip all of us will remember forever. So many special memories as well as thousands of pictures to enjoy in the days to come.
The six of us had a fabulous time, it went extremely well, and everything was well-organized. There were no issues, and everything was first-class. The camps were great, the guides bent over backwards for us.
Andrew, you are the consummate professional. Each safari is a special experience, and we are fortunate to have found you and to have become good friends.
The safari was everything we imagined and more; the animals, the scenery, the atmosphere and the people were amazing. Everything went like clockwork, the food was exceptional, and we loved the accommodations. Your advice was great. Thank you, Andrew, for a great trip!
Thanks for putting together an awesome trip for The Chevron Tribe. It was truly an unforgettable experience. I wanted to touch base to let you know how the trip went. In one word…. INCREDIBLE!!! The safari was over the top, and it couldn’t have been better in Zanzibar. What a way to wind down. It was phenomenal, can’t say enough good things, would totally do it again. Lisa and I had a blast! Thanks again for your help and assistance in putting this together. It really was a trip of a lifetime with a great group of friends!
We enjoyed every aspect of the safari. All phases went very smoothly with no surprises. The staff and guides were excellent and professional; they learned our names and made us feel welcome and comfortable. And what an experience it was to visit an authentic Masai village. We loved the order in which we visited the camps. Bush breakfasts, sundowner cocktails, delicious meals – all so enjoyable! The creative food dishes that were presented at each property were amazing; we now have recipes!
The very first place was spectacular, and it just got better and better, after that. We had a fabulous time, and already we are talking about doing it again in a few years’ time. Thank you for putting it all together. I know it must have been a lot of work with our group. It was the best trip ever!
We had an amazing time and completely understand why people return, year after year. We loved every bit of it! Our hosts and guides were great. The vastness of the land was beautiful, and the experiences with the animals are something we will always remember. Trip of a lifetime, and we would (and will) recommend it to many. We loved all the places we stayed and would recommend all. Thank you for your dedication in assuring our trip was fantastic!
We recall our safaris with special pleasure, even after all these years!
We absolutely had a spectacular time. The hosts and guides were wonderful. They did everything possible to ensure that we had everything we needed and that we saw everything we possibly could. All of the areas and also the accommodations were excellent. Everything went smoothly. The food was excellent, and anything we wanted was provided. We would recommend a safari to anyone who enjoys animals and the outdoors: our favorite vacation! Thank you!
I did not really know what to expect, so I was blown away by the experience! The safari could not have been better organized or more smoothly run: perfect! All accommodations were fabulous, as was the food. The guides were magnificent. Each one was personable and knowledgeable, and several were quite funny!
We had such an amazing family safari with you. It was one of the best family trips ever!
Just getting melancholy thinking of our experiences that you planned in East Africa and Rwanda. Forever fossilized memories. Terrifically planned safaris and travels, and surely reflected upon as a life-changing experience. Many thanks for your expertise of choice and unveiling the charm of Africa.
Nothing can match the perfection of the trip you planned for me.
I yearn to return to Africa, but probably the two incredibly wonderful trips we have taken will have to suffice. The first was your planned safari to Botswana and Zimbabwe… never to be forgotten! I keep our photo album of our trips close by and look at them often. Best of luck on your next adventure – would love to be there with you!
We just finished reading the “Call of The Wild” magazine article about you. Everything reported was completely true, and so well described to the readers. I wonder what visions are conjured up by those who have not enjoyed the safari experience? Hopefully it makes them desire a safari adventure! It was great meeting you and Jackie, and we wish you a wonderful adventure on your next African safari.
We still tell people that our safari was the best trip we’ve ever been on: hands down!
This was the best trip we ever took! We can’t say anything negative about our safari. It was wonderful, from the moment we were met as we disembarked from the aircraft. We really liked the people, our hosts at each place, the beautiful properties, luxury accommodations, food, wildlife guiding and the unbelievable variety and abundance of animals. We started keeping a record of the animals and birds we saw, but when the list got well over 200, we started to lose track and simply gave up!
We had a blast! All the camps were totally different, and they each gave us a different African experience. I found the amount of time at each camp to be perfect. I just want you to know how much we enjoyed the trip!
I went to Kenya in 2006 on a trip planned by you. It was fabulous, and I have always said that if I went back, you would be the guy!
It could not have been any better. I felt like we accomplished everything we set out for and did not waste any time. I am really glad we didn’t try and cut any corners to save a few dollars. It was perfect.
I just wanted to send you a mid-trip update. Everything is going incredibly well. The accommodation, food, staff, guides and (most of all) animals are all fantastic. I honestly don’t know a single thing I’d change. Thanks so much for the hard work for us. All families are enjoying the hell out of the trip!
Thank you for creating the trip of a lifetime… what a perfect safari you put together for us. From start to finish, each experience was superb. Also, the progression was perfect, and the hosts and guides were knowledgeable and professional.
It was all fantastic! I actually gave your information to my orthodontist because he was interested after I told him about our trip!
Andrew, I wanted to write you (from Masai Mara) to say how fantastic this trip has been. Every place you arranged has been fantastic, and the order of camps was perfect. We have seen so many amazing things. Mara Plains Camp is beyond fantastic. It is simply amazing. At all the places, the rooms/tents, staff, food, guides, animals, everything—has been just great. And the stuff you arranged at the lodges, and the internal connections, have been absolutely, stunningly, amazing.
We had a great time and enjoyed the other guests. It was better than we imagined in every way. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The bush dinner with tree lanterns was superb! Cape Winelands was great. Thanks for arranging such a memorable trip.
Thank you for planning and accompanying us on the ‘ultimate luxury safari’ that created plenty of lifelong memories and stories to share. We expected it to be a memorable experience, and it was. It was interesting, emotionally moving and fun. We felt everything was organized and executed in a very thorough way. The hosts and guides were fantastic. We can’t think of how the service could have been any better. The accommodations were nice, and every dining experience was excellent; the selections, quality, quantity, presentation and service was all more than expected and memorable. We really would not change a thing. You were right, Andrew, when you said that sometimes there are no words to completely and accurately explain the safari experience. It would be hard to accept it as only a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you for making this adventure happen in such a grand fashion. We respect you for your work and appreciate your friendship. Your efforts in making the trip such a success deserve recognition. You and your company could not have a better advocate than us!
It’s hard to believe we are home and it’s over! We enjoyed your company and all of your great stories. We didn’t really know what to expect, but it exceeded anything that we imagined. This being our first safari experience, we thought everything was wonderful. The accommodations were all beautiful in their own way. All guides and trackers were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Your attention to the details, Andrew, and your insights were invaluable. We also enjoyed hearing all about your own past adventures. Thanks for such a great trip!
The trip was perfect, thanks to you!
Still trying to gather words to describe our trip to all of our family and friends. It was above and beyond anything we ever expected. On a scale of 1 to 10, we would rate it an 11. We always felt attended to and cared for; we never had to worry about a thing. The food was delicious at every camp, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. Thanks again for creating a trip of a lifetime! I honestly think you’re the most organized person I know.
(On safari): We are not just having a good time; we are having a FABULOUS time! (Post-safari): It was a trip of superlatives! Peter and I were thrilled with the abundance and proximity of wildlife that we experienced. From start to finish, we enjoyed every moment. The accommodations were each so unique that we looked forward to our next stops along the way. The service, food and assistance that was provided was top notch. At each stop along the way, we were handed off to helpful people, whether at the airports/runways, the lodges, etc. At no time did we feel abandoned. Upon arrival at the Nairobi airport, we were met and quickly whisked through security and customs. Again, when we were leaving Nairobi, we were met at the airport and assisted through security and escorted to the airline lounge. We were given royal treatment throughout. We both learned so much about the wildlife and its behavior and the culture of the Kenyan people. I was able to capture a multitude of photographs while Peter took many videos that will serve as wonderful mementos of a trip that exceeded all expectations. Thank you for your detail to attention and your advice and guidance in preparation for a trip of a lifetime. A neighbor is interested in a safari, and I gave her your contact info, after singing your praises.
Everything was amazing, thank you… everything we imagined and more! As you know, it is a once-in-a-lifetime trip. We much appreciate your tremendous thought, knowledge and experience that went into planning and executing this safari. Thank you for always going the extra mile.
You arranged a wonderful trip for our family’s Three Generations safari! Thank you!
We had a wonderful trip, and I know it was because of you. Your attention to every detail, was spot on… your planning was superb. You did an incredible job! The service here is awesome. They just sat us down by the swimming pool for a candlelit dinner-for-two with a fire pit. I am in love with Kenya, it is amazing. I appreciate you so very much!
Thank you for the thoughtful care you extended to us to make our wonderful trip to Kenya memorable, safe and free of anxiety. It was awesome: more than expected. All guides and hosts were personable and helpful. I loved the interaction with the local communities. Each stop was different. The vistas were beautiful, and I was surprised how awesome they were; we could not capture them with our camera. You are the best, and I recommend you wholeheartedly!
All of the arrangements were perfect, and everything went very smoothly; we did not waste any travel time. It was absolutely wonderful! The guides (they were terrific with the kids) and hosts were all excellent, very gracious and accommodating. The food was great and plentiful. I would absolutely recommend such a safari – and your company. I would like to thank you for putting up with the myriad of questions we asked – you were great!
Andrew is a gifted speaker, truly articulate, interesting and entertaining. He spices his conversations with humor, and always provides a most enjoyable recounting of his travel experiences
Everything went smoothly. Food was good and plentiful, hosts were very accommodating, guides were pleasant and knowledgeable, equipment was clean and well-maintained… Andrew, you did a great job providing background and advice!
Andrew, I do want to commend you. You are one of a kind and you hit a home run! The accommodations are wonderful, and the people are the nicest I have ever met. They have gone overboard to make our trip wonderful; you operate the same way with your clients – very generous with your help. Thanks a million, you are my hero! I will be back!
There are no words to describe what we have experienced. The people are amazingly warm and kind, and the animals are at peace with living with them. Andrew, thank you for planning this amazing trip. We will remember each and every detail forever!
The trip was great… it was an amazing trip! Thanks again for all your help. Send me some business cards because some golf friends are saying it’s on their Bucket List.
No complaints! Everything and everyone was outstanding, in all categories. Especially helpful to have a VIP ‘greeter’ to guide us through the airport upon arrival. The accommodations were all great, and the variety was good. We have recommended such a safari to friends and relatives; they just have not taken our suggestions yet! Thanks, Andrew, we had a great two weeks!
We had a great time, Andrew, we really did! The safari was amazing, and everything went smoothly, plus everyone we met was so nice. We felt very safe throughout, and the ‘COVID’ procedures went well. Thank you!
It was the best trip we have ever taken, a truly wonderful experience. The guides were great, so kind and helpful and always eager to please and answer questions. We loved the accommodations, and flying in private charter aircraft was perfect. Your planning was meticulous, thank you for everything! We are all so blessed to be traveling and see our amazing world. Thank you for helping us experiencing Africa, a trip of a lifetime!!
Fantastic trip!!! We just landed in Newark. Tough coming home. Fantastic vacation! Looking at other guests, it appears that we were assigned the top-tier guides at each location. Food was very good. Thanks for the very detailed pre-trip instructions. Would absolutely recommend, a lifetime experience!
Just landed safely back in Florida… WOW! It was simply awesome… far exceeded both our expectations, and Robbi stated that it was by far the best thing she has ever done. I kept saying, “Well done, Andrew,” with each little thing that made the trip smooth and stress-free. You killed it! The safari was absolutely everything we imagined. Each camp was diverse in what it offered, and they were scheduled in the PERFECT order! Thank you again.
I just wanted to let you know how wonderful our trip was. Thanks to you, as promised, it was a first-class trip. We travel a lot, as you know, and this trip – over a dozen years in the planning! – was right up there with the Serengeti trip you planned for us, many years ago. All the places we stayed were terrific and the best part was the service.
It was the vacation of a lifetime, it truly was! The safari was everything we imagined, and our guides and hosts were an A+. Everything was well organized, and the food was good, plentiful and varied. Thanks for your attention to detail and quick responses to all communications.
Our safari was everything we expected and more. Each experience built up and was unique in a way that was very rewarding. All aspects of the arrangements were excellent and all went completely as planned. We particularly appreciated the very detailed and thoughtful guidance – from visa applications to flashlights! Regarding the food, it was helpful to have our needs shared in advance with the different properties. It was a real treat to meet you and Jackie and your friends, what a friendly and lively group of people! You will get a strong reference if we have friends who are interested!
Thank you for coordinating the most memorable safari; it exceeded our expectations! The coordination and organization of the safari was very well done. We appreciated the attention to detail. The overnight mobile ‘fly’ camp experience will last a lifetime! Everything was clean, in good running condition and well-maintained. Great accommodations, friendly staff, and the food exceeded our expectations too! Andrew, you provided all information and advice that was necessary and were available for all our questions. Your attention to detail, your assistance and knowledge were greatly appreciated. We have already given your information to three friends - and our doctor! Again, thank you for everything. It was truly special
The safari was amazing! Truly a trip of a lifetime, an incredible experience with family! Thank you, Andrew, and thank you as well to all the wonderful people who shared their spectacular wildlife and beautiful country with us! The travel logistics – itinerary, flights, transfers, accommodations and activities – were extremely well organized, streamlined and efficient. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Our hosts and guides were all knowledgeable, generous with their time and efforts to accommodate, and made things fun and interesting while ensuring safety and comfort. The staff were amazing. It was a truly unforgettable adventure, and we are so grateful to have had this opportunity!
John and I are excited to work with you again on this safari. You have done such an excellent job in the past, and I know this will be top-notch
This is our third safari with Andrew, we’re very happy with his safaris. His service is amazing, and he is a trusted agent!
Our 'Three Generations' family safari was a trip of a lifetime! Our guides’ knowledge, capability, concern for our welfare and willingness to please were a 10-plus! Special treats were chef’s challah loaves and potato latkes made especially for our family, as well as the Hanukkah dinner. The places we visited were great. We have already recommended you to friends and relatives.Escape to the sunny beaches of the Caribbean with safariconsultant.com. From the crystal clear waters of Jamaica to the vibrant culture of Cuba, our travel experts will help you plan the perfect getaway. Book your trip now and relax in paradise.
It was a tremendous trip, a 10 out of 10, and even better than we imagined. This was the perfect vacation. The guides were great everywhere, everyone went above and beyond. The accommodations were perfect and the length of time at each place was spot-on. The people were wonderful. At one place, we saw ten leopards! The game-viewing was fantastic, spectacular. There wasn't a hitch ever. Everything was outstanding, and it was a wonderful trip, as were all of the safaris you have organized for us… and we may do yet another safari, one day!
The safari was incomparable. We really enjoyed the people, the animals, and the various places we visited. At all locations, we were warmly welcomed and well taken care of... amazing really! Five-Star service delivered with a smile by people who took pride in their work. Very comfortable accommodations, and we were amazed by the variety of food and healthy preparations. Andrew, we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you, and we appreciated the top-notch service.
Absolutely, Andrew, you were the best. I'm recommending you to anyone wanting to go on safari. It was beyond my expectations, absolutely the best. Oh my gosh, everyone was so kind. I have never been treated as nice as the Kenyans treated us. There was nothing we did not like. Everything was perfect, It was the trip of a lifetime. Thank you!
We just want to thank you so much. The experience was amazing (and we have a couple of people to refer to you). Everything you did for us was the best. The people there were all so very nice, it was a pleasure, and the properties you chose for us were great: five stars across the board. Every place was spectacular!
Overall, it was fantastic, an A+ rating, and everything went like clockwork. I commend you on putting together a great itinerary. I really liked the different attributes of the camps and lodges, that was great – and you saved the best place for last! We saw everything, ALL the animals, and we are amazed at how close you can get to the animals. Plus the people there are all so nice. It’s odd, when you are on safari and busy every day doing and seeing things, you cannot really put it all into proper perspective. But when you get home, you think about all the amazing experiences, and then it hits you – holy mackerel!
You really put on a wonderful trip, Andrew. It was very special, and we really do not have anything we did not like. Cannot even compare it to anything we have ever done before! We saw all the animals, and the family all had a great time. Everyone over there was so nice. I am so glad we got to do it when we did, while we still could. Thank you again!
I know it takes a lot of time on your part to answer even a probing query such as this, and I appreciate how you address even the smallest issue with full attention. What an incredibly well-coordinated trip! World class! We’ve all been talking about how much we appreciate your attention to detail and clear communication!
All in all it was a great trip. Once again, thank you for all your hard work in putting thus together for our family. Everyone in Southern Africa was so nice, so friendly and helpful, the accommodations were great, the food delicious and all the transfers went smoothly. It was so nice to be helped through the airports and looked after throughout. This is our second time, but it made us want to go back to Africa yet again. Thank you again, Andrew.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. You truly go above and beyond in preparation. We are very excited to leave soon for the trip of a lifetime!
Andrew is the BEST! We went on a safari in Kenya in 2008 with Andrew, his wife Jackie and some other dear friends! It was the trip of a lifetime! Enjoy!
A TV program years ago whetted my desire to see the Okavango Delta. Thus, I was ‘ripe’ when Bonita Bay included Andrew Fentiman in its Winter 2023 Lecture Series. Andrew, who has spent 45 years guiding and organizing African safaris, proved very personable. After his talk, I approached him about arranging a luxury safari to Botswana, to celebrate our forthcoming 60th wedding anniversary. Andrew assembled a custom-planned itinerary that was both luxurious and enjoyable. Thank you!
The safari – the whole experience - was way beyond expectations. It was so fantastic, such a great experience! We have been to some of the greatest hotels in the works, and yet we have never had service like we had on safari. On the way to a village, we came upon a herd of around eighty elephants feeding, and they passed right by the vehicle! Everything was so well organized, everything went smoothly, everything was clean and in good condition. The food and drink were amazing, and the staff were so kind; it is really hard to have anything to complain about! When we had to leave our last camp, there were tears in our eyes. The information you provided was great. Andrew, this was the best vacation experience ever, and you (and your work) are just incredible!
It’s rare that I can say I have done TWO trips – and they were both lifetime experiences!
WHILE ON SAFARI: We arrived safely and have been treated like family ever since. All of the logistics have gone smoothly, and the people here are lovely and kind. And of course, we’ve enjoyed seeing all the animals. Ken is running through his camera memory so quickly! So many great photo opportunities. Our guides have been excellent, and we have had a wonderful time at all the lodges and camps. Loving every minute here. AFTERWARDS: It has been an amazing trip for us, and we have had a simply wonderful time! Almost everything was better than we imagined. Seamless transfers from location to location, wonderful hosts, excellent food, and closer to the animals than we expected. We felt everything went very smoothly: nothing to improve. The hosts were attentive and organized and things were well planned out. The food was excellent and surprisingly fresh. The variety was good, and all of our preferences were achieved. The information you provided us in advance was excellent, and we felt well-prepared and well-packed. We have already recommended you!
Andrew, would like to thank you for putting together an awesome trip! I believe you pride yourself in your work, as you should, being so passionate about safaris. The people of Kenya – and especially at the camps – were over the top superb! We have never got that level of service anywhere! It was a trip of a lifetime, and we will never forget all the special moments with the animals and the people!
It’s very hard to describe, but we had a wonderful time.
WHILE ON SAFARI: Andrew, we are enjoying our last day on safari. It’s been an incredible trip. Thank you for putting together the vacation of a lifetime! AFTERWARDS: The safari was everything we imagined… and more. The guides and hosts were all top-notch. Can’t think of anything that could have been better. It was an amazing trip, not only because of the wildlife and hospitality but because of the organization.
WHILE ON SAFARI: Wanted to follow up and let you know the trip has been really amazing so far! Rekero Camp was unbelievable; we’ve covered so much, I feel like we have been here a week! We just checked into Ol Donyo Lodge – and we are blown away! AFTERWARDS: Our honeymoon safari was everything we could have asked for and more than we could have imagined. The hospitality was incredible, everyone went above-and-beyond for us, transfers were great, no hiccups, and everything ran like clockwork. The way the journey was curated was perfect, as was the order of the different properties… really well thought-out. We kept saying each day, “How can it get any better than this?” And then the following day, it did! We are hooked, and would love to talk to you about our next trip; we want to bring family and friends, next time!
It was so much more than we ever imagined. It went above and beyond our expectations. The hosts and guides were more than hospitable and friendly; if we mentioned something we would need or want, it was taken care of immediately. They aimed to please at all levels. The food was over the top, always plentiful, delicious and varied; excellent preparation and presentation. The accommodations were so varied, that I am not sure we have a favorite! I would not have changed a thing. Andrew, you made available everything we needed to know, before we left home for Kenya! Andrew, thank you for all your advice. You have been more than helpful in preparing for this trip!
