What travelers are saying

"In planning for a safari trip, we learned of Adventure to Africa at a travel show in NYC. We knew the countries we wanted to visit and discussed the trip with several travel companies, large and small. Adventure to Africa listened to our objectives and budget and made proposal to meet them. Others gave us off the shelf options. Adventure to Africa recommended breaking up the safari camps with visits to Cape Town and Johannesburg in a way that made the trip much more enjoyable than we first intended. The Safari camps spanned a variety of ecological areas and a variety of bush camp operators. All of the activities suggested were ideal and reservations accurate and timely. This is the first time in our travels an adviser checked up during the trip to assure everything met our expectations, much less twice. We found the recommendations made were helpful and exhibited broad and deep experience. Restaurants suggested ran the gamut from fine dining to exotic to an excellent, if humble, fish house on a pier outside of Cape Town. The Cape wine tour was excellent and customized to our needs. We will recommend Adventure to Africa to anyone planning a trip to Africa."

What travelers are saying

"Who said you can not enjoy a long Overland Safari? I had a wonderful time during the 7 month Trans Africa. Part of the West cost of Africa was a challenge which I will remember for a long time. The scenery and wildlife from Namibia onwards was breathtaking. The younger generation on the truck gave me the challenge to do things I always was to scared to do in my live. I did tandem skydiving, quad bike riding in the sand dunes, white water rafting on the Zambezi river, bungy jumping of the Victoria Bridge and the micro light flight over the Victoria Falls. Our driver Brian was excellent and a good mate. All in all I can recommend the tour to people who like something more exciting than a standard organised tour. A truly memorable experience of a lifetime."

"I couldn't find you on TripAdvisor, so I'll leave a review here. I just got back from a tour with a company that subcontracted with Jenman. Everything seemed to flow well, and Rex and Mats were great guides, full of knowledge and easygoing with a large group. They also were very talented trackers, especially Rex. I mean, Rex spotted a porcupine on the night drive with a spotlight. What the what? It was crazy. I really enjoyed Botswana and will look forward to returning again. There was some confusion about our accommodations; one of the reservations were cancelled and then we were promised a tented camp which didn't end up being the one we actually stayed at...this caused some issues with long drives because I don't think we were at the place we were supposed to be. Since I don't know where that mix up happened, I'll keep this at 5 stars due to the experience with the guides and the stays/drives at the other locations, which were great."
