Dear John Thank you for arranging a fantastic time in South Africa and the Mashatu area in Botswana. This trip was in the green season, which not only provided great animal viewing but stunning scenery and the beauty of changing weather, which further enhanced our time. The highlight was daily morning sightings of the Brown Hyaena […]
Thank you again for organizing such an amazing experience for us. Totally different to South Africa (we enjoyed the complete holiday in SA with Victoria Falls, Cape Town and Soweto). Kenya was all Safari. We may have scared the House of Waine as we went out to visit the nightlife the second night for cigars […]
What an amazing trip we had. Just wow! It was above and beyond expectations. Felt like we were living in a David Attenborough documentary. Every single person every step of the way was wonderful. The guides, the accommodation, the flights, transfers, everything. Thank you for helping us have the absolute best-ever bucket list adventure in […]
You will be pleased to hear that we had a WOW of a time in South Africa. Firstly Cape Town exceeded our expectations with what was on offer with their wonderful scenery made by so many surrounding mountains. With respect to our time spent on safari, again, it was a wonderful time enjoying nature . […]
We would like to thank and congratulate you on organising such a wonderful holiday for us in Africa. Everything worked like clockwork and to be met by Joanne at Johannesburg when we arrived was brilliant. All she did was to meet us with open arms and escort us to the waiting vehicle to take us […]
Our trip was everything we were hoping it would be. Africa certainly is a special place. A number of people have asked what our favourite thing/place/experience was and honestly it’s impossible to say. We wouldn’t change any of our accommodation choices. The Royal Livingston was a stunning hotel, giraffes and zebras wandering around was the perfect start […]
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just returned from our first trip to southern Africa, organised by John and his team at Destinations Africa. It was an amazing trip, covering self driving in Namibia, safaris in Etosha, Botswana and Sabi Sands, with stays in Cape Town and Victoria Falls. The wildlife viewing was incredible, thanks to our wonderful local guides and trackers in each camp. All of the locations and accommodation chosen were perfect for us, with meetings and transfers between each location. I highly recommend the team at Destinations Africa for your next adventure!Posted on Julie RustTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wanted to let you know that our Tanzania trip was absolutely fabulous. Team from Albatross were excellent. Aris our driver/guide was truly brilliant and most professional. He made the trip special because of his personality and expertise in all things safari. The camps, food and general experience was beyond what we had hoped for. With just the two of us in our four-wheel drive we had the freedom to do as we wished helpfully guided by Aris. The scenery and wildlife were extraordinary. We can see how people can become hooked in safaris. We had great weather and on reflection there is very little we believe we would change to the itinerary we put together. Maybe an extra day in Arusha where we would have spent more time at the Cultural Centre, which was much larger than we imagined, or their website indicated. An absolute huge array of African art and well worth a full day. A couple of days in Zanzibar at the end of the trip was both interesting and relaxing and a lovely way to conclude our father / daughter trip. Overall, the trip was excellent, and we have memories for a lifetime. Thank you so much for your advice and organisation of our trip, we could not be more satisfied, and we have been more than happy to share your details with some friends who are contemplating a safari.Posted on Paul JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having just got back from Africa we wanted to share the wonderful experience we had with John's company. John listened to what we wanted to do and then made insightful suggestions, and constructed a great itinerary for us. He was always there to answer questions or arrange little add ons. His personal knowledge of all the accomodation was very helpful. His selection of lodges was wonderful. We never had to worry about pick ups or arrangements because it was always clearly set out in our itinerary, and everything went seamlessly. We always felt safe and supported. We would not hesitate to go with this company again and recommend it to others, it was an amazing experience!Posted on Leon AllenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. NicePosted on Michael MannersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Trip of a lifetime thanks to John and the Destinations Africa team! Although we are well traveled this was our first trip to Africa and Destinations Africa could not make it easier. They selected two amazing safari lodges for us with exceptional service and incredible guides. Every detail was thought of and taken care of. Best week of our lives. They were also able to pull this off with just 3 weeks notice in peak season!Posted on Joshua KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was so helpful with putting together a week long safari in Tanzania and a short trip to Nairobi, Kenya for our family of 3. All of the accommodation was beyond what we expected and the staff at all of our accommodation were incredible. We enjoyed our daily game drives, the food served and everything in between! We were so lucky to see all of the big 5 and plenty of other animals! We could not recommend Destinations Africa and their partner Albatros Travel more!Posted on Mikayla PayneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are a family of seven adults who have just returned home after visiting Zambia, Rwanda, Kenya and South Africa for 24 days. Destinations Africa's expertise and know how made this possible. We chose Destinations Africa because of their positive, nothing is a problem, can do, attitude. We enjoyed amazing, oh so comfortable bush safari camps but also chose to push the boundaries and experienced hot air ballooning, diving with the great white sharks and very high and long zip lining. We had the most awesome, fantastic, seamless, exciting but safe holiday of a lifetime. Our memories and photos are priceless. Destinations know how to do Africa. If you want your ideas and wish list to be made into the ultimate African adventure, talk to Destinations Africa. Go to Africa. Live and breath like never before.Posted on Graham LeahyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Destinations Africa are highly recommended. We have now engaged them for a second time. The level of service from start to after the holiday are excellent. The suggested trips, accommodation and places we stayed were spot on. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Sandie and we are looking forward to booking our new tripPosted on troy daffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks so much to Destinations Africa for organising the the trip of our lifetime to South Africa. The detailed itinerary and the excellent Safari Lodge accommodation at various facilities was second to none, and all transfers and flights organised went smoothly. We would not hesitate to recommend this company and the service provided by Cathy Odgers who took the time to streamline the trip to suit our needs. Bill and Chris October 2019Posted on Bill Learmouth
