WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT OUR SAFARIS

Lion cubs

“This has been an amazing trip! From what we thought was a “once in a lifetime experience”, we now keep thinking when we can go back again! Thanks to Kevin for the wonderful and seamless arrangements. The Maasai Mara was beautiful. The guides, managers, and service staff at Mara Plains Camp was absolutely fantastic. Even my kids who are 8 and 5 enjoyed the trip tremendously. The six hours game drives didn’t feel too long for them, in fact, it made us want to go out for more. I know our whole family will now think of Beautiful Africa very differently from now on.”

Bushmen

“Our first safari was a relaxed and memorable experience thanks to AtoA Safaris. From initial meeting to post-safari survey, their friendly expert help guided us in making decisions as to visit, which camps would provide us with the experiences we were looking for, and how best to safari whilst pregnant.”

Cheetah

“It was really evident to me on this trip that you have experienced the actual safari and bush camps that you were giving advise on. I loved everything about it – the accommodation, warm and personal service provided by the hosts, excellent service by camp staff, amazing food, flexible game drives and of course the animals. Thank you so much for making my dream holiday come true.”

Andrew Nieves

“Thank you very much for arranging such a wonderful trip for us. Everything was smooth and well thought out. We saw all the big five. We saw lions and leopards chasing after their catch and how they enjoyed their big meals. When young lion brothers and sisters came from all directions to hug each other, it was a magnificent scene. I will definitely introduce A to A to my friends.”

Wild dog

“We had a fabulous time on safari and it is hard to get back to work! We saw some fabulous (and gruesome!) sights, including a bull buffalo being brought down by a pride of 11 lions right in front of us and a wild dog hunt and kill taking place across a riverbed in Zimbabwe. We also saw some black rhinos in Zimbabwe, leopards and a hyena and wild dog fight at Vumbura, and a cheetah killing an ostrich very close to Jack’s Camp! We thought Pamushana was fantastic. The service and food were amazing and the wildlife incredible. All in all, great stuff which made for some memorable photos!”

Mara River crossing

“The trip was nothing short of amazing, probably because this was also our first safari. Everything ran like clockwork, we loved every aspect of the trip - the accommodations, guides, food, planned itineraries, etc. Saving the Serengeti as the last destination was excellent. That was truly the highlight of the trip.”

Jacob & Sneha

“It was an amazing experience and the quality of game we saw in Zimbabwe was amazing. Before the trip, we were a bit disappointed that Botswana was completely booked but all that changed during the safari that was completely amazing and we got it at a much lesser cost too! The highlights were seeing the pride of 17 lions and the four cheetah (mom and three cubs) at Little Makalolo, and the lioness at Ruckomechi (she was 10-15 metres from us while we were on foot).

“AtoA were very helpful in preparing the trip for us and advising us on the various options. Right from the flight tickets, visas, to the stays at each camp and the transfers in between, all were well taken care of and it happened exactly as described to us in Hong Kong. No hassles or problems anywhere.”

Hippo

“We had a great, great time, there were highlights everyday and we had special sightings everyday! We actually waited and saw a live kill by a leopard of an impala, and also watched a group of lionesses devour a buffalo, we were charged by hippo in our boat, and many many more. Needless to say, kids had so much fun! We wanna do another trip soon – maybe to Namibia or the migration!!

“Just wanted to drop a note to tell you how much we all appreciate your help and kindness, and how it made the trip planning so much fun and seamless.”

Leopard

“We had a great time. Victoria Falls was amazing and all three of us did the microlite glider across the falls. It was awesome seeing the rainbow follow us as we went over the Falls. The river cruise was beautiful too. The safari in Botswana was an eye opener because its so different from Kruger. The wetlands bring a whole different angle to game viewing which was an experience. We saw some lions, leopards, hyenas, elephants etc but no killings unfortunately, but still interesting nonetheless and a great time overall. I have fond memories.”

Clara Shen
(Safari to Botswana)

“A to A made the planning of our trip very easy. We were taken care of from the moment we landed in South Africa, right to when we board the light aircraft at the end of our safari. This was a wonderful experience that every family must enjoy.”

Avni Jhunjhnuwala & Family
(Safari to South Africa)
Hong Kong, July 2011

 

“With heavy hearts we have left Botswana... We just wanted to let you know that our experiences at both Savuti and Vumbura Plains were just incredible. We were so well looked after and both guides, Lets (Savuti) and Ona (Vumbura Plains) were so knowledgeable and showed us amazing animal experiences. In fact, we did try to extend our stay but in the end couldn’t make it work logistically...

We will definitely be planning another one. In fact, the girls cried when leaving! Our experiences have touched our hearts.”

Kim Ghatalia & Family

“As this was our first safari it was a very different and eye opening experience and broadened our minds. Everything was better than what we had hoped for. Naiboisho Camp was a very pleasant surprise. The tents were very luxurious beyond expectations. Jackson’s guiding was superb. He is very knowledgeable and very interesting, and a real pleasure to have as company on our game drives. The logistics worked like clockwork, as per the itinerary. It was the most memorable family vacation that we have taken, and we certainly hope to do this again.”

Christine Lam & Family

Meerkats in the Kalahari

“Everything about the trip was superb, if not awesome. The diversity of things we saw and did was just right. Service, food and accommodations at Singita were first rate and microlighting over Vic Falls and fishing in the Zambezi river were definitely things we’ll remember for a very long time. But Jack’s Camp and Super, our guide, were something else! Those meerkats standing on our son Robert’s head, our walks with Cobra and his bushmen and quadding on the saltpans, and the aardwolf and brown hyena our son will never forget. We also couldn’t have timed it better because we had a night in the salt pans under a million stars and a Lunar eclipse to boot! Hard to top that! Glad we included Jacks. That place is magical!”

“This is my third time to travel with Asia to Africa Safaris, and each time the service gets better. All my queries were answered appropriately and on time and all the arrangements for the trip were first rate. I wholeheartedly recommend AtoA to anyone who may be interested in taking the trip of a lifetime to Africa.”

“Everything fit together seamlessly. Great venues, tours, recommendations. Experienced staff who made informed suggestions.

The relationship the staff builds with you at Ulusaba is like a family. Add to that great drives, great animal sightings, great food – it was a blast. Greg and Dan made an excellent guide team and were great professionals and a lot of fun to be with. I was dumbfounded by their tracking abilities and level of knowledge about science, botany, astronomy, zoology – fantastic learning and great fun.

Our guide in Cape Town stuck with us from the time he picked us up at the airport until he dropped up back off 5 days later. Including wine tours, cape tour, and recommendations for dinner. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He was very flexible and took us to only the best wineries that sold big reds (which we preferred).”

Brian & Barbara Chitester

“We enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the landscapes and contrast to our normal surroundings, complicated by pollution and technology. The hosts and guides in the camps made a real impact on our stay. All were excellent. We wished we could have stayed longer.

“The Dock House was a great location with a boutique homely feel and was a great end to our trip. Our day in Stellenbosch was fabulous. Cannot rate the beauty of the area and our guide was so helpful and knowledgeable. Your choice of restaurant was awesome.”

James & Jane Peterson

“We just wanted to thank you for organizing a WONDERFUL trip to Botswana and Zambia for us. All the logistics went very smoothly, and all of the venues were terrific.

Wild dogs

River Club was a very genteel introduction to Africa and my 14 year old son and I especially enjoyed the bungee jump off the Victoria Falls bridge; Vumbura was posh, our guide was excellent, the habitat was gorgeously lush and we were lucky enough to see leopard, lion, buffalo, elephants, lots of game with the bonus of a pack of wild dogs and a very large sable antelope buck and his harem; Selinda was our favourite camp site where the managers and staff were extremely hospitable and the decor was traditional/classic which we really enjoyed, and where we again had a great guide, and were lucky enough to spend a half hour side by side with a pride of 14 lions with many cubs, to witness 2 kudu males battling with locked horns, and spend our last morning with a male and female lion enjoying a nice nap post mating...

Again, thank you for putting together a great itinerary and for organizing everything so efficiently... I couldn’t have asked for a better 50th birthday trip!”

Drinks in the Kalahari

“We saw the Big 5 plus all the other animals, very cool. I can now identify a few birds because of the safari. The francolins and turtle doves non-stop chatter at night at Chitabe, frogs in Vumbura, and silence in Jacks. All camp accommodations were fantastic, with Vumbura topping the list. Huge, huge room with a view. In Vumbura, we followed three lions into our camp at night! Another highlight were the dinner dates with Oona – Jacks Camp set up a bar for the sundowner in the Kalahari desert. I really enjoyed the fact that where ever we went, there were only a few people!”

“We were extremely happy with the safari and our trip to S Africa. Our ranger was amazing and the upgrade to Rattray’s was welcome. Your advice about S Africa overall, the tour in Johannesburg etc. was excellent. We fell in love with Franschhoek and Cape Town. By the way, hats off to your patience – I know I asked you a lot of questions.”

“Just wanted to say a big thank you for organizing such a fabulous trip. Mala Mala was amazing and our ranger Rob was awesome – we managed to see big 5 within the first 1.5 hrs of safari and also saw a kill. My family really enjoyed the trip. I would love to go back soon and looking forward to ask for your help again.”

Helicopter over Vic Falls

“I’d like to say a huge thank you for organising such a fantastic trip for us. It was outstanding and totally outshone my expectations (and they were pretty high!). We had such an adventure but also managed to relax and put out feet up. It really was the perfect combination of adventure, culture, activities and relaxation. Plus amazing food and wine the whole way round. What more could we ask for!”

Lioness kill in Masai Mara

“We had such an amazing trip and really would like to thank you for all your arrangements. It’s so much fun to get up close and personal with all the animals, including the lions and cheetahs, and both Chui Lodge and Elephant Pepper Camp exceeded our expectations! We were very impressed by the friendly and helpful staff, activity arrangements and food as well!”

Chimp

“Our Tanzania honeymoon was an unbelievable and breathtaking experience. From watching the wildebeest migration, to a surreal balloon ride, to tracking chimps through an African jungle, we could not have planned such a special, exhilarating, and romantic holiday without the help of Asia to Africa Safaris.”

Serengeti cheetahs

“We have been returning to Africa on safari nearly annually for the past eight years, all ably arranged by Asia to Africa Safaris. They are really specialists in the area as they themselves go to Africa every year so they know what they are selling. A six-time repeat customer is enough to show how satisfied we have been with their service.”

“Asia to Africa organized our latest corporate event: a memorable three day's safari in Sabi Sands out of Hong Kong to which I invited my best clients.

Leopard

From the seamless planning process to the quality of the safari accommodations, food and wine to the diverse range of activities that we were able to experience, the trip was quite extraordinary.

It was like we were transported into the past. The exotic setting encouraged real bonding and after only three days in the African bush we all felt re-energized and returned to Hong Kong, Taiwan and India, respectively, with a fresh perspective.

Our only complaint is that the trip was too short! I will definitely consider renewing the experience as it beats our usual destinations for corporate events hands down – and we found the cost to be quite reasonable!”

“Shyan and I enjoyed our stay in Kenya tremendously, and I am planning to definitely go back again soon as there is so much more to see. Have been telling my family and friends the wonderful experience we have had and encouraging them to save up for a Safari trip.

We have been very blessed to see the Big 5 this time amongst many other animals, especially spotting the leopard at Mara. I really would have loved to stay on longer if Shyan doesn’t need to go back to school. Thank you for the arrangements, we were taken care of throughout and felt very safe. Asante Sana.”

“Asia to Africa sorted out a perfect itinerary at very short notice and their experience and expertise made sure everything ran like clockwork and the pre-trip advice was invaluable.

Tortilis Camp

“We returned from Kenya last week, it was an amazing trip and not nearly long enough. Just wanted to thank you for fixing us up with this great itinerary – the logistics worked out well and we loved the lodges! We fell in love with Tortilis Camp and the elephants of Amboseli. Amazing location and the people there are just so nice and genuine. The food was fantastic too! This trip was one for the books and I can’t wait to go back!!”

Thank you for making it Happen so perfectly!”

“The camp we were in (Tanda Tula) gave us a really authentic bush experience. The people were warm, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. We enjoyed the game drives, the bush breakfasts and the sundowners. We were also happy to see a lot of animals even after just one game drive.

Tanda Tula was wonderful. The people went out of their way to make us feel special on our 10th anniversary trip. Thanks for recommending this camp to us.”

“Asia to Africa Safaris provides exemplary service. This is miraculously translated from Hong Kong, across the oceans to the African continent, in the middle of the bush. How do they achieve this? It’s a mystery. But the traveller isn’t concerned with “how”. Instead, the traveller only feels that each day on safari, those spectacular sunrises are somehow meant especially for you.

Thanks a million for this wonderful experience. I can’t wait to contact you all again and to go back for another adventure!”
