Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"The holiday was a great success, especially the week on safari.

With a lot of travel arrangements things could easily have gone wrong but everything went like clockwork." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"Our honeymoon was great, Beho Beho was the perfect choice. Everyone we dealt with in Tanzania and Zanzibar were friendly and helpful.

All advice and literature we received was in depth and Liz was very helpful, no improvements needed!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"We really enjoyed doing the relaxing part of our honeymoon on the beach at Zanzibar first, and would definitely recommend this order to stressed wedding planners! It also gives us time to reflect on the wedding day itself before starting on a more active safari. Equally we loved finishing the holiday at the more luxurious of the camps.

On reflection, 2 nights in Stone Town was probably a little long for us as we enjoyed the other elements of the trip significantly more. All transfers worked smoothly, with clean, comfortable vehicles, and friendly drivers.

Thank you very much for organising such a wonderful honeymoon, we will definitely recommend you to any friends and family planning a trip to Africa.

A final payment reminder for honeymooners would be very helpful as you have so much else to be organising at the same time! Liz was very good at letting us know when monies had been received and sending quotations etc. Thanks!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a fabulous holiday in three parts which were all very different experiences but all we would do again. I did not expect to return home as rested and refreshed as we did; I thought we would be tired, stressed and in need ofsun and a good beach to chill out on. Far from it - we came home buzzing and wanting more.

I also appreciated the personal email from Ellie on our return rather than just this form.

"We all enjoyed it thoroughly and got a great insight into the country. Three nights at each place worked perfectly. 2 would be fine in Vic Falls and is enough in Bulawayo.

The trip was very varied and rounded so things like the connection to Mother Africa and the more cultural/historical dimension of Matobos made a perfect balance.

Not really, we were thoroughly satisfied." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Overall we really enjoyed our trip. It was a great experience and the kids (15 & 17) loved the hotels, beaches and most of the food. We knew the weather would not be great in July / August but the clouds were not a problem in the heat. Only 2 of the 10 days were dull.

The Seychelles people are friendly but don't expect anything to happen in a hurry. The agent "Mason's" seems to run the Seychelles and the itineries but they are very efficient and always around if you need anything. Not keen on the early filght home but the hotel Constance Ephelia started breakfast at 4.30 a.m." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 3 on a Seychelles holiday

"We had a very good time in Namibia!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip

"Absolutely amazing! Great country, great people, great food, great animals. Lived up to all of our expectations. Would recommend Namibia as the African country to visit - without any reservation at all.

Would love to go again but there might not be as much pampering next time! This year was a special holiday so we splashed out a bit but now we've been once we wouldn't mind a bit of camping another time. The campsites we came across all seemed very safe and well equipped. And the beer was good too!

"Our first trip to Africa and what an introduction.

Such a beautiful land, full of contrasts, friendly peole and a tourism industry that cannot do enough to please its guests. Wow!

Make sure everyone realises how absolutely invaluable Chris' guide is, became referred to as "The Bible" in our car!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"We had the most marvellous trip. It was particularly nice to see that Nkwali and Tena Tena are managed by highly professional and courteous local staff. (Last year in Tanzania, the management was white imported and the staff local) Robin Pope lived up to their reputation of having superlative guides. The skills and knowledge of Victor and Julius were incredible. Every animal, every bird, every tree, they knew it all - add to that brilliant customer service, first aid and vehicle maintenance (Not used) and being able to mix a very decent gin and tonic. What more could you ask for.

The food would have done a good class London restaurant proud. The accommodation was roomy, comfortable, in fact just luxurious.
Absolutely First Class in every respect
