Testimonials
We just returned from a trip to Africa that spanned South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania. It was a trip of a lifetime! So well organized by Jen. She listened carefully to our thoughts, provided excellent feedback, and then put together a wonderful adventure for us, that included tours, hiking and safaris. Having a travel agent with recent and years of personal experience in these countries, and with great suppliers, contributed to a very high-quality experience. In a nutshell, the trip was wonderful!

We had an amazing holiday! Your expertise, knowledge and incredible planning made our trip fantastic. We saw all the animals we were hoping to (even the wild dogs!). The only problem is I think I’ve been bitten by the Africa travel bug and cannot wait to go back lol. I have never met nicer people while traveling than the people of Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. I will certainly recommend you to anyone who is going on their first safari or trip to Africa!
Thank you again for everything you suggested and planned for us. It truly was amazing.
