Africa Adventure Consultants Avaliações 

Our trip was planned to our specific requests. Diana did an incredible job in putting together a comprehensive, well-organized schedule. We did everything that we wanted to do. The detailed itinerary was perfectly planned. Our trip went on without any problems and was exactly what we wanted. Every detail was in place.

We did a 33 day adventure through 7 countries in Africa. FYI we are 63 and 66. We talked with Angie and let her know what we wanted to experience. She curated a FANTASTIC experience. We experienced everything from 3 safari drives, Capetown, Victoria Falls, to gorilla trekking, then into Cairo for a great Egyptian experience.

EVERYTHING was flawless!! From airport and immigration transfers, to fantastic safaris, to cultural experiences in each stop, and into Cairo, including Giza and the GEM.

We are headed back next year for more adventures. I HIGHLY recommend AFrican Adventure Consultants!!

Our experience with African Adventure Consultants was extraordinary from beginning to end. I have never traveled with a company that provided this level of luxury, safety, personal attention, and genuine care. From the moment we began planning until we returned home, we felt as though every detail of our journey truly mattered.
Marina Steffke was our initial travel consultant, and she was exceptional. She listened carefully to what we hoped to experience in Africa and transformed those hopes into an itinerary that exceeded anything we could have imagined. Our trip included unforgettable safari experiences in Kenya, gorilla trekking in Uganda, beautiful camps, seamless travel, and countless moments that felt both adventurous and incredibly special.
Some of the most meaningful memories, however, came from experiences we had not expected. We were given opportunities to meet and spend time with local residents and members of different tribes, and those encounters became some of the most powerful parts of our journey. The encounters prompted wistful admiration and were eye-opening, and deeply personal, and they gave us a much richer understanding of the countries we were so fortunate to visit.
Marina’s knowledge and experience were evident in every detail. The camps she selected were wonderful, the logistics were handled beautifully, and at every airport and transition we were met, assisted, and escorted with remarkable efficiency. We never felt confused, rushed, or on our own. Instead, we felt safe, cared for, and very much like VIPs throughout the entire trip.
Of course, witnessing the magnificent animals in their habitat was often surreal and gave us memories we will carry forever. But two remarkable field guides made our safari experiences even more extraordinary: Abdi at Ol Pejeta Bush Camp and Precious at Encounter Mara. Both seemed to possess an almost instinctive understanding of the bush. Their ability to track wildlife was remarkable, but even more impressive was the respect and reverence they showed for the animals and their environment. Their knowledge, patience, and passion elevated our safari experience in ways that are difficult to put into words.
I also want to mention how impressed we were with the incredible teamwork within African Adventure Consultants. Becks Timbers and Sara Stark stepped in to assist us toward the end of our journey regarding an issue that was outside of their purview, and the transition was seamless. Sara’s and Beck’s calm demeanor and follow-through was amazing. The communication and cooperation among Becks, Sara and the rest of the team reassured us that our needs remained a priority at every moment. That level of coordination is rare and speaks volumes about the company as a whole.
We simply could not have asked for a better safari and travel consulting company. African Adventure Consultants did far more than arrange a trip for us — they created an unforgettable experience that was adventurous, luxurious, meaningful, and deeply personal.

We just returned from Zambia, Botswana and South Africa and Africa Adventure Consultants truly put together a trip of a life time. Our travel consultant really listened to what our goals, desires and expectations were and crafted a personalized trip that exceeded our expectations.

I highly recommend Africa Adventure Consultants if you are planning a trip to Africa. They came highly recommended to my husband and me by a friend who had used them, and I’m so glad we reached out to them to arrange our own African adventure.
After contacting AAC, we first spoke with Marina and then with Sara S., who spent over an hour on the phone with us learning about our interests and the things we hoped to see and experience in Africa. We wanted to trek with gorillas and chimpanzees in Rwanda, take a day hike on Kilimanjaro, and go on safari in Tanzania. Sara listened carefully to everything we wanted and helped create an incredible itinerary that exceeded our expectations.

It was truly an amazing, magical, once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we enjoyed every minute of it. The drivers, guides, and porters arranged by AAC were knowledgeable, highly skilled, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel safe and well cared for on every drive, trail, and hike, wherever the day took us. We also appreciated that they were all from highly respected local companies, with some having worked for their respective companies for more than 15 years.

Every hotel and camp we stayed at was unique, and the food was delicious. I really cannot say enough about the professionalism and care shown by everyone throughout our trip.

In particular, I would like to mention our driver, Arthur, in Rwanda. He was truly special—wonderful company, incredibly personable, and so easy to talk with. In the Serengeti, our driver and guide, Amos, was extremely knowledgeable about the plants, birds, and animals, and added so much to our safari experience.

Finally, my husband and I cannot recommend the gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda highly enough. It is difficult to put into words how beautiful and incredible these animals are. We were truly left speechless by the experience.

I would absolutely contact AAC again and request Sara S. to arrange another trip. After almost three weeks in Africa, we left wishing we could have stayed much longer!

This was our first safari. We spent 4 nights at Kambaku Lodge in mid-September. Our accommodations were top notch, the staff was visible night and day, eating with us as we shared experiences of our twice daily game drives. Dougie and Jared were with us all day everyday to track, guide, drive and entertain us with their vast knowledge of the land, the animals and even the stars overhead! Smiles galore from staff and guests. I want to go back!

I heard Africa calling for my 60th birthday. Sara Stark and Ciara Manning created and executed a perfect trip for us to South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Chobe game lodge, Camp Moremi, Olive Grove guesthouse, Hoodia Desert lodge were all fantastic. We were spoiled with great game drives, delicious food, laundry service and little extras for my birthday. I can not say enough good things about how seemless the trip was. We had people meet us at every airport with a smile, water and professionalism. I am not sure I will make it back to the continent of Africa but if I do we will be using AAC again. Our trip was close to perfection. Thank you for your well thought out planning and recommendations.

Angie Voigt and her team at African Adventures curated a "trip of a lifetime" for us that was truly life-changing. She listened carefully to our interests and presented an incredible travel package that delivered jaw-dropping safari experiences and so much more. We have already begun discussing a return to that magical continent - and will of course use Angie to create the plan for us. We highly recommend her and African Adventures.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Absolutely Incredible Experience from Start to Finish**

I cannot recommend African Adventure Consultants highly enough. Our trip was absolutely amazing, and virtually everything was seamless from beginning to end.

What impressed me most, though, was how they handled the moments that weren’t seamless. We had a flight change that caused us to miss our connecting flight, through no fault of theirs. Before we even landed, their team had already taken care of everything. Transportation was arranged, a new camp was booked, everyone on the ground had been contacted, and we knew exactly where we needed to go. Something that could have been incredibly stressful was handled so smoothly that we were able to just go with it and enjoy the trip.

Then my daughter’s bag was lost in Johannesburg. Somehow, two days later, that bag made its way all the way to us in the Serengeti, completely intact with not a single thing missing! Their team stayed on top of it, tracked the bag, communicated with everyone involved, and made sure it ultimately found its way to us. We were amazed.

Every tour guide, hotel, safari camp, transfer and experience was incredible. From the safari drives to the balloon ride to our gorilla trek, everything was beautifully planned and executed. Even when there was a hiccup, we always felt like someone was there taking care of us.

A special thank you to Nell, who helped us originally plan this incredible trip. Kerri, who took over once everything was booked and made sure all the details came together; and Madison, who was there when everything went haywire with our flights and helped get us back on track. Having a team available 24/7 while traveling through Africa gave us tremendous peace of mind.

This truly was a trip of a lifetime, and African Adenture Consulants made it everything we hoped it would be and more. Their attention to detail, communication and service were top-notch.

If you are considering an African safari, you will not go wrong with this team. Five stars without hesitation!

They made sure all of our needs were met. The camps we were at went beyond expectations. The staff made you feel right at home and the food was outstanding. We saw the big five on our trip plus many more. Highly recommend this trip

Literally everything from start to finish was outstanding! Nell and Ciara really listened to what our vision for the trip was and as a result, we had an amazing time. We did 2 safaris in Kenya with our 2 adult children. The camps and everyone at the camps, the animals, the guides, the food were all stellar. There wasn't a single area of improvement needed. The entire trip exceeded our expectations! Also of note, my daughter is gluten free and both camps went out of their way to make her special meals and treats.

This was a trip of a lifetime Angie at AAC planned everything perfectly, from the lodging to the game drives, everything. She was amazing. We saw everything including the gorillas and the great migration to every animal we could have possibly seen. Not only was the wildlife incredible but the people we met are now like family. Thank you AAC and Angie for a life changing experience.

We wanted our family to witness the Great Migration in Tanzania, and, thanks to AAC, we were able to immerse ourselves in the spectacle. They designed a trip for us that let us see a variety of animals and visit three different parks. As we prepared for the adventure, Kent and Kerri were prompt in addressing any questions or concerns we had in advance. Once we arrived in Tanzania, everything went smoothly. The guides were knowledgeable and personable, the staff at the camps and lodges were attentive and welcoming, and the food was top-notch.

Five stars doesn't begin to describe the positive experience that I had with AAC.

For a milestone birthday present for both my best friend and me, I really wanted to do something truly epic like trek with Gorillas and follow the Great Migration. As I did my research and sorted through outfitters, I got in touch with Tracy at Africa Adventure Consultants.

From our first conversation, Tracy understood what kind of trip I was looking to do, what my wants and needs were to make it successful and also what my challenges were. Tracy consitently communicated with me with not only answers to my questions, but also suggestions to make things easier and maximize my time. She totally earned my trust as she worked and reworked the itinerary to meet my every whim. She was unbelievably patient, knowledgable and 100% no pressure so I ultimately booked my 16 day East Africa Adventure to Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya with AAC.

After I made my decision, I opted to invite my parents to join me on Safari to follow the Migration. Tracy made sure that everything we did during that would also cater to their needs. The trip was flawless. It was epic and smooth. I felt completely covered as I packed to leave. It literally couldnt have been any better. We are all still glowing from our experience.

Marina, our concierge, gathered every detail needed for our itinerary including the travel plans that we made to and from Africa so that there was never a guess what was next. AAC offers the TravelKey app to give you everything you need at any time on your trip even without data service. Just another detail that was covered that made me able to think less and simply enjoy the experience. Trust the AAC process and timeline and you'll have no questions when you board your plane to leave.

AAC works like a well oiled machine. From laying out the timeline for payments, visas and general information to helping with every detail from packing lists, travel insurance to any last minute changes that are wanted even while you're traveling. They give you every detail that you need to prepare for the trip of a lifetime.

Their partners on the ground in Africa follow the same level of service. We were seamlessly met at every airport/airstrip, zipped through customs with our bags and on our way to our accomodation before some folks were even off the plane.

The accomodations were all great. Some excelled at some things better than others but all were clean, comfortable, hospitable and relatively upscale. The guides were dialed in, friendly, great drivers and more than answered the need for soneone local to help keep things running smooth. They became as much a part of our experience as the activities. Tracy kept telling me how much they trust their partners on the ground. They are right to do so.

Even when the news about Ebola threatened to derail part of the trip, AAC was proactive and provided us with real time information, options and time to discuss with them. Speaking quickly about Ebola; tourism in Uganda has crashed since May with up to 60% cancellations in a lot of places. Uganda is safe from Ebola and travel around, in and out is fine. Coming home to the US is not a problem if you book to fly through a US gateway airport. Go to Uganda.

Long story not so short.... I cant say enough about why you should book your African Adventure with AAC. Ask for Tracy. You'll have the best time ever.

Our experience with AAC and Tracy was beyond words and spectacular. From the beginning of the process, Tracy was so great at listening to what we wanted from our vacation and making all of the experiences that we wanted to have fit our budget. She was thoughtful with making sure that we would be comfortable and that we would have a great time, even with teens and kids on safari.

The planning process can seem daunting, but Tracy and her team at AAC made it so seamless and straightforward, we were able to take everything one step at a time and it was all very clear and laid out for us to follow.

Once we were on our trip, everything was so arranged and worked so well. The team made sure that everything was taken care of for us and even made a point to check in to see if there was anything they could do to support. Tracy and her team really take care of you through out the whole experience.

Sadly, our holiday is over but it was magical. When we go back to Africa, we will 100% be reaching out to Tracy and AAC to help plan our next trip because we know we will be in the best hands.

Africa Adventure Consultants are real pros and my wife and I highly recommend them to all. Traveled as 2 couples, meeting up to combine a South African safari, then travel to Capetown, then we split up to visit other areas in the region that interested us for extending our stay.

15 day trip June into July 2026 through 4 regions in South Africa. We wanted a combination of an extreme luxury safari in a private game reserve at the Simbambili Game Lodge in Sabi Sands which is next to the Kruger National Park, then Capetown for restaurants and Table Mountain as well as coastal sights (we highly recommend the FYN restaurant experience in Capetown), on to the Franschhoek wine valley, and the pinnacle of high end luxury relaxation staying at the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, about 2.25 hours drive from Capetown.

Working with senior travel consultant Diana Hernandez out of Denver/Greenwood Village Colorado. AAC is a superbly run travel/tour operator at the very highest level of bespoke bucket list level for expert travel logistics. The communication and correspondence was all threaded perfectly -could not be any more delighted with that! All of the places recommended were personally visited and vouched for by Diana, and that shows with our delightful end results. This was definitely worth the high level of money spent.

We asked for an authentic (first time for us) South African safari and the resulting 4 day stay far exceeded my expectations. Look up Simbambili Game Lodge within the Sabi Sands Nature Reserve. Just the perfect balance of exciting safely organized, but thrilling wild game animal viewing within their natural habitat. We immediately saw not only the "big 5" but I would actually say the big 10 of animals and there was also the bonus rare footage of 2 mature black mamba snakes intertwined, either mating or fighting, hard for our guide to tell. At no time did we ever feel at risk of being eaten or in danger thanks to our guide and tracker in the Landcruiser. Humans are completely safe within the invisible trapezoid plane of the large vehicle. The animals see the Toyota Landcruiser as no threat, period. It's like you're invisible to that beautiful leopard, lion, Cape buffalo, hyena, elephant, rhino and more -often just 10 feet away from the truck. Heed their instructions. Don't wear distracting white and don't stand up. Every staff member there at Simbambili was so welcoming and a pleasure to interact with. Our safari guide Mike did such a great job explaining how these beautiful wild animals live day to day. His 30+ years of guide experience showed though with his articulate easy to understand cadence and narration. I would actually compare him with famed nature expert Steve Irwin, as a complement. Every game drive, morning and evening -there was always something completely different right around the bend. It's 30 minutes drive to get from one end of Sabi Sands to the other, so that miles and miles of intertwining well-maintained dirt roads. We often drove truly off-road through the wild brush, methodically tracking the elusive leopards for photos and video. I especially appreciated Sabi Sands being a private game reserve so Mike was able to drive anywhere he wanted, we had the private park to ourselves and did not have leave at dark, like they have to next door at the Kruger Park (which is when it really gets exciting and comes alive), and there were no crowds of tourists/safari operators, road dust or annoyances to get in the way. The food/wine presentations and quality at Simbambili was truly top-notch in every single way. Everything was included with no compromise.

I particularly wanted to commend AAC for their collaboration with Ilios transportation/tour drivers. Professional, well-spoken kind native South African drivers, always in a new comfortable Toyota SUV or van. From airport pick ups and drop offs to transport to and from various regions 2 hours apart from each other, Ilios transport does an excellent job -and AAC should be commended for perfectly coordinating the transfers with them. It's wonderful to not have to rent a car so you can safely enjoy quick private transportation to famed wine regions and their tasting rooms. Franschhoek is definitely worth enjoying for any foodie and wine lover.

We've visited and stayed at many high end places in our life, and I can truly say that the private Grootbos Nature Reserve, is one of the highest levels of a luxury venue for us to date. What a way to end a wonderful South African vacation. The luxury room (more like an extended modern luxury house/suite, than a lodge), the food/wine quality, their nature trail systems, and off site nature hikes and things to do....all so highly recommended to all. Don't miss their spa treatments -you're sure to be delighted.

Our 19-day journey through Southern Africa was an exceptional bucket-list experience. Africa Adventures designed a thoughtful itinerary that let us fully enjoy every part of the trip—from Cape Town’s waterfront and botanical gardens to the vineyards of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, an unforgettable safari at Kambaku River Sands in the Timbavati Reserve, the wonder of Victoria Falls, and a relaxing finale at Santorini Mozambique. Every destination felt carefully chosen and seamlessly connected.

Cape Town was an ideal starting point, offering a remarkable mix of coastal beauty, history, food, and iconic scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed the waterfront and the botanical gardens, both of which gave us a wonderful introduction to the city’s natural beauty and vibrant atmosphere. Africa Adventures’ planning made the arrival and first days feel smooth, which was especially important after long international travel.
The Winelands portion in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek was another highlight. Mont Rochelle Hotel and Vineyard was an amazing accommodation and an excellent location for enjoying several local wineries and the Wine Tram experience. The landscape of vineyards, mountains, historic towns, provided a beautiful contrast to Cape Town, and this part of the trip felt relaxed, elegant, and perfectly paced.

Timbavati Reserve Safari at Kambaku River Sands
The safari portion at Kambaku River Sands in the Timbavati Reserve was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide and tracker were able to navigate us into position to observe the Big Five and other animals as close as five feet away. We will never forget seeing leopards with antelope kills in the trees or the pride of eight lions relaxing in the morning sun. The lodge offered a refined but authentic safari atmosphere, and the setting made it possible to feel immersed in the bush while still enjoying comfort, excellent food, and warm hospitality.

Victoria Falls added another extraordinary dimension to the itinerary. After the stillness and intensity of safari, the scale and sound of the falls were breathtaking. It was a dramatic and memorable stop that broadened the trip beyond South Africa and gave us a chance to experience one of the great natural landmarks of the region. The Sunset cruise of the Zambizi River was another treat with sightings of crocodiles and hippos to accompany the relaxing boat ride.

Santorini Mozambique
As if the safari was not special enough, our four days at Santorini Mozambique ended the trip with the most relaxing and private resort experience we have ever had. After days filled with touring, transfers, safari activities, and sightseeing, the resort provided the calm and beauty needed to absorb everything we had experienced. The ocean views, peaceful atmosphere, attentive service, and sense of privacy made it an exceptional place to unwind and a perfect final chapter to the journey.

Africa Adventures’ Planning and Service
Every detail of this trip was expertly planned by Africa Adventures and we were able to easily track our detailed itinerary on the TravelKey application. Our itinerary never felt repetitive; each destination built naturally on the last, and the combination of Cape Town, the Winelands, Kambaku safari, Victoria Falls, and Santorini Mozambique gave us a rich and varied overview of Southern Africa. The food and accommodations at every location were fantastic and we found prices for food and services outside our all-inclusive stays to be very reasonable. Transfers, accommodations, experiences, and sequencing were clearly considered, and that attention to detail made a significant difference throughout the journey. We appreciated practical touches such as one-day laundry service at Kambaku and Santorini, which allowed us to pack efficiently for the entire trip.

As retirees we are experienced travelers, especially over the past 10 years -- this trip was our best yet! We highly recommend Africa Adventures to anyone considering a customized journey to Southern Africa. It delivered far more than a checklist of destinations; it was a carefully shaped experience with variety, comfort, adventure, and time to appreciate each place. If you want a true trip of a lifetime, get in touch with Angie and her team. They created a journey we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Our journey with African Adventure Consultants was nothing short of extraordinary, completely redefining what luxury custom travel should be. We initially started our safari planning by contacting some of the heavily advertised tour operators on the internet, but they only provided run-of-the-mill itineraries that completely failed to consider our specific desires. Fortunately, we found our consultant, Angie, who delivered a complete masterclass in travel design, curating a flawless safari through Kenya and the Serengeti that exceeded every single expectation. Unlike those cookie-cutter companies, Angie started with an intensive hour-long interview about our travel preferences, past experiences, and likes/dislikes. She remained incredibly flexible throughout the process, happily modifying the itinerary as we did our own research, and she acted with immense integrity by honestly steering us away from unnecessary options that just run up the bill.

Her logistics advice was game-changing; recommending we fly between camps instead of taking long, bumpy drives maximized both our comfort and our vacation time. The premier camps she selected were perfectly positioned to get us out first thing in the morning to see the animals while they were most active. We saw so much natural animal behavior that my partner ended up with over 100 favorite photos. To top it all off, Angie notified the camps that we were celebrating our 35th anniversary, and every single property went out of their way to make us feel celebrated. The firm has earned our trust for life, and we will absolutely use Angie for all our future travel.

We used Africa Adventure Consultants to book our trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. ACC's attention to detail helped make our trip phenomenal. From arranging assistance through airports to private drivers and experiences, to a wonderful safari camp I did not want to leave, and to their professionalism during the process of building our itinerary made our trip flow seamlessly. ACC provided emergency contact information for every destination as well as an online app to access our itinerary during our trip. I would definitely recommend using AAC for travel destinations in Africa.

We interviewed various consultants about this 'trip of a lifetime' and landed on Sara Stark with Africa Adventure Consultants. We'd never used a consultant to schedule travel before, so it was a new to us experience. Oh my gosh. Every single detail was meticulous. The camps she recommended, the amazing staff at each place, the spot-on transport in-between, the 'bush' flights, the overnight hotel in Vic Falls, everything was beyond amazing. Perfect. We literally could not be happier. And then there was the actual 'safari' part of it all. Our guides and trackers were exceptional, the wildlife viewing was phenomenal. The meals were excellent. Can you tell I'm raving? And wanting a re-do! I would highly recommend Sara, Madison (our travel concierge), and Africa Adventure Consultants to anyone!! Truly a trip of a lifetime. Thank you!
