WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT OUR SAFARIS
“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.”

moment we arrived at the airport, and a wonderful guide who made all the difference in making sure we enjoyed the experience of our first safari!”

knowledgeable guides. Our tailor-made holiday was put together painlessly by Asia to Africa Safaris. Thank you.”

enjoyed our entire holiday. I really would recommend Pafuri to families. It was great.”

skilled guides at the camps. It was a great experience overall – even the bucket showers were fun!”

(Safari to Kenya)

“We had an amazing time, such a great experience. The whole time we were well taken care of, we didn’t have to worry about the
logistics and completely enjoyed the safari experience.”
Jeff & Angel Wang
(Safari to Kenya)
Hong Kong, November 2011
“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.”
Raf Sanchez & Samantha Thompson
(Safari to Botswana)
Hong Kong, October 2011
“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
(Safari to Kenya)
Hong Kong, October 2011
“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.”
Annie & Christopher Chan
(Safari to Kenya)
Hong Kong, October 2011
“Our safari was a great experience, something I will never forget.”
Vicki Hoffarth
(Safari to Botswana & Zambia)
UK, September 2011
“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!”
David & Neveen Innerdale
(Safari to Botswana & Zimbabwe)
Hong Kong, July 2011
“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.”
Daren Chan
(Safari to Tanzania)
Singapore, July 2011
“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.”
Jacob Samuel & Sneha Mathew
(Safari to Zimbabwe)
Hong Kong, July 2011
“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.”
David & Shanie Kawpeng & Family
(Safari to Zambia, Botswana & South Africa)
Toronto, July 2011
“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)
Singapore, July 2011
“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
(Safari to Botswana)
Hong Kong, June 2011
“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
(Safari to Kenya)
Hong Kong, June 2011
“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!”
Federico & Monina Lopez
(Safari to Botswana & South Africa)
Manila, June 2011
“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.”
Ricky Tantoco
(Safari to South Africa)
Manila, June 2011
“The itinerary was excellent, it gave all of our family a chance to enjoy something they most wanted to do or see. We are new fans of African safaris.”
Mark Cranfield & Family

“We had an amazing time in Botswana and Namibia. Will definitely be referring you guys to a lot of my friends.”
Benedict Perez
(Safari to Namibia & Botswana)
New York, May 2011
“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
(Safari to South Africa)
Hong Kong, April 2011
“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
(Honeymoon Safari to Botswana & Cape Town)
Hong Kong, April 2011
“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.
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!”
Fred Ayala
(Safari to Zambia & Botswana)
Manila, March 2011
“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!”
Jigs Carlos

“Alice and I had a great time and are of the view that it was our best holiday of our lives.”
James & Alice Spence

London, December 2010
“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.”
Mehul & Himani Kinariwala
(Safari to South Africa)
Hong Kong, December 2010
“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.”
In Ja Lim

“Good job guys! We just came home from an awe-inspiring safari! Great staff, great food, great drives! Keep up the good work!”
Beatrix Anne Chua
Safari to Botswana
Manila, October 2010
“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!”
Victoria & Jamie Souter
(Honeymoon Safari to South Africa)
Hong Kong, September 2010
“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!”
Xie Ninghong & Kate Zhu
(Safari to Kenya)
Hong Kong, August 2010
“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.”
Kelly & Chad Frank
(Honeymoon Safari to Tanzania)
Hong Kong, July 2010
“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.”
Bernie & Toby Gan
(Safari to Tanzania)
Manila, July 2010
“We had a great safari. It was brilliantly organised... good accommodation, great food, brilliant guides and logistical perfection.”
Amitava Guharoy
(Safari to Kenya)
Singapore, July 2010
“We had a GREAT holiday, I cannot begin to tell you how much we enjoyed ourselves.
Mala Mala was Awesome and Cape Town is just Amazing! Janice was truly outstanding and she took very good care of us.
We can’t thank you enough!”
Leon Koay
(World Cup Safari trip to S Africa)
Singapore, June 2010
“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.
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!”
Olivier Bellion
Marketing & Business Development Manager
TOTAL Lubmarine Asia Pacific
(Corporate Safari to S Africa) June 2010
“Thanks! It was an amazing trip and definitely the best choice that we could have made
for our honeymoon. We enjoyed it from beginning till end and we were very very satisfied with the whole experience.”
Madalina Ionescu & Olivier Legrand
(Honeymoon in Botswana)
Hong Kong, April 2010
“I want to thank you so much for your care and accuracy in putting this together for us.
We had such an amazing time away and Tanzania has struck quite a deep chord with us both. Nomad were brilliant
and Felix our guide was spot on. Really thank you for all your work on our behalf... a truly memorable trip.”
Kate Lascelles
(Safari to Tanzania)
Singapore, March 2010
“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.”
Kelly & Shyan Chew
(Safari to Kenya)
Hong Kong, February 2010
“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. The safari camp they recommended and organized
was fantastic with great food and excellent trackers. Amazing experience and would
definitely use Asia to Africa again when we go back!!”
Simon Ong & Nina Lay
(Safari to S Africa)
Hong Kong, February 2010
“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!!”
Judy Huang & Carolyn Tham
(Safari to Kenya)
Singapore, January 2010
“Asia to Africa’s expertise in planning safaris meant
that we could sit back and let the experts work their magic.”
Yu Ling & Kenneth Ho
(Safari to Kenya)
Hong Kong, December 2009
“We were very happy with the arrangements made by Asia to Africa.
We had limited time to spend, but the trip was organized so efficiently that not a minute
was wasted. The recommendations given by Kevin and Shy were spot on; I would seek their
help again for our next safari!”
Ginny & Louie Llamzon
(Safari to Tanzania)
Netherlands, December 2009
“A dream honeymoon! The people, the staff, the places were all amazing. We can’t
wait to come back.”
Xavier de Bure
“It was AMAZING! Our best trip ever! The whole organization was PERFECT!!
Super well-organized and super smooth, we did ENJOY it so much and I must admit I am still under
the effects of the bush and have become totally ADDICTED now. For sure, we will go back there.
Thank you for making it Happen so perfectly!”
Estelle Cheng-de Bure
(Honeymoon in Botswana)
Hong Kong, November 2009
“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.”
Cristina & Toby Gatchalian
(Safari to S Africa)
Manila, November 2009
“It was flawless. There was no moment of frustration or disappointment.”
Peter & Kitaya Termote
(Safari to Zambia)
Bangkok, October 2009
“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!”
