WHAT OUR TRAVELERS SAY

At home today the sky is monochrome gray, but all I see is the Serengeti 's endless plain and blue sky and wildebeest. Every moment was magic. The animals, the air and sky and landscape and the animals. The people, lectures, and talks and guides. I would turn around and go back tomorrow! Thank you for the dream trip.

- Patricia, M.

This trip was wonderful in every way. Whether you're a seasoned traveler, or if this is a “once-in-a-lifetime” trip, my husband and I would heartily recommend it. Every aspect; Leaders, Driver/Guides, Lodgings, Food, and of course, the amazing wildlife were better than hoped for. 

- Carol B.

This tour fulfilled a life-long desire to go on safari. The tour was packed with lots of wildlife viewing in many different settings, all of which were so much more than I could have ever dreamed of seeing. We saw every animal that is on anyone's list of must-see, and not just one or two but in most cases a whole lot of them!
