Brilliant Africa Reviews 

Brilliant Africa was an amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was so smooth and handled so professionally! Our trip to Tanzania and Kenya would not have been as incredible as it was if it wasn’t for them, as well as our guides on the ground! Would absolutely recommend and book with them again!

Very well organised tour. Lovely lodges and tented lodges. Great food. Our tour guide Raymond Wood made our trip particularly memorable with his experience, knowledge and sense of humor. I would love it if Raymond got to see my review.

They created us a beautiful and seamless honeymoon. They responded on time, addressed any concerns we had and were very thoughtful. We are looking forward to planning another trip with brilliant Africa!

Our Safari trip was an amazing experience from the time we landed in Kenya until the time we left. Everything organized by the team worked like clock work!

We went on my 60th Birthday once in a lifetime Safari.
Wow what an amazing 10 days it was!
Our guide who was personal to our party of 4 was called Njenga, he was amazing, his experience and knowledge meant we not only located the animals but we got all of the information about how they live, hunt and survive.
Throughout our tour he was caring, respectful and entertaining, we had he best time, on the journeys between parks he drove carefully, and tried to keep the journey as comfortable as possible for us with the state of the road and tracks we needed to travel on.
We were unfortunate to be there when there was a strike on and we had to travel during this time from our hotel in Amboselli to Nairobi, he navigated us away from the troubles and we felt safe with his experience in dealing with the extortionists, for this we cannot thank him enough.
I would definitley love to return to Kenya one day and would definately choose a Pollmans Tour.

They staff and driver through out our trip between the two camps gave excellent service.
The folks who set up our trip were on point and was always available

My experience with Brilliant Africa and the way they dealt with my specific situations could not have been better. From the start they made sure that I had everything I needed to have a wonderful safari. The team bent over backwards to make this so. Once in Africa we had an outstanding safari.

We conducted our trip the opposite way that most were taking theirs. I found this to be a great way to experience the country. We started in the Serengeti, where the animals were abundant and easy to find and ended in the Tarangire National Park, where the animals were less interesting but the smaller things like birds, plants and trees became the talking points. In all we saw the "Big 5", seeing the Rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater. The wildlife is spectacular.

Our accommodations were always top flight. If you have the opportunity to stays at the Lions Paw take it. It has the most beautiful views you can imagine. Everywhere we went the service was great.

Our only set back if you want to call it that, was our guide whose english was not the greatest and who spoke very softly. However, his driving ability, and it is needed, was exceptional and his knowledge was unmatched. He was always quick to show us what we were seeing and hearing in the many books he provided for our education.

We ended our trip in Zanzibar which gave us the ability to decompress and just relax. What a wonderful overall trip. I again can not thank Brilliant Africa enough for providing us this opportunity.

My husband and I cannot say enough about the outstanding experience we had planning our Tanzanian/Kenyan safari through Brilliant Africa. Tracy and Aly were exceedingly knowledgeable and helpful in assisting us with the perfect itinerary suited to our interests, and then executing all the details behind the scenes so that our travels were first class and worry free. Highly recommend working with Brilliant Africa, whether you're a seasoned traveler or first-time visitor to beautiful Africa!

I had an amazing experience using Brilliant Africa from planning to execution. The natural resources and people of Tanzania made the trip what it was but working behind the scenes was Aly and the team at Brilliant Africa who works hard to make things seamless. The portal was user-friendly and was an excellent tool to get ready for the months and weeks leading up to the trip and once we arrived in Africa, everything was taken care of as promised I recommend this company and plan to use them on subsequent trips.

From the moment we landed at the air strip in Kihihi I knew we were in GREAT hands and treated with respect and care. The experience in Uganda was breath taking to say the least and our guide (Nicholas) made sure he took the time to show us around explaining the culture. All staff at the Bohoma Lodge were very kind and willing to help in any way. If I could give 10 stars to them all I would!!!!

Brilliant Africa, in collaboration with Great Lakes Safari and Exito Travel for flights, helped my husband fulfill his lifelong dream. They ensured that any hiccups along the way were smoothly managed. We had a personalized experience, and the care and accommodation exceeded our expectations. We were thoroughly delighted.

I am so grateful to the team at Brilliant Africa. My mother and I had been wanting a mother-daughter trip for a while and were a bit overwhelmed with planning a trip. Tracey did such an amazing job listening to what we hoped for the trip and planned the most thoughtful and luxurious trip we could have asked for, and Aly was so wonderful about communicating before, during, and after the trip.
The best part about working with Brilliant Africa was that they work with local businesses and are community-first, so we had a beautiful blend of luxury and local experiences. I can't say enough nice things about them. I will surely be using their services again for my next trip to Africa. Don't miss out on working with them!

This was the best mother/ daughter trip I could have wished for. Brillant Africa went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable trip. Every detail was thought of, since the wonderful hotels to the amazing people, the food, the pampering. I simple don't have words to express the amazing experience this trip was. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I appreciate Brilliant Africa for its detail orientation and responsiveness, from trip ideation to execution. They are clearly experts in the region, lining up all the right experiences for a family with diverse interests and taking into account of everyone's needs, from grandparents to toddlers. Their in-country partner provided superior service on the ground – the safaris exceeded all of our expectations and made for a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Brilliantly organised , brilliant brilliant guides Nicholas and Allan would thoroughly recommend Brilliant Africa

My experience with Brillant Africa was beyond amazing. The attention to detail was impressive. Everyone was always an email or phone call away to answer any questions etc. This trip would not have been possible without them. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to take this trip of a lifetime.

Brilliant Africa helped me plan the trip.of a lifetime. From finding us the perfect guide to trekking with the gorillas, everything was wonderful. The hotels that were chosen were incredible and I can't even find words to say how spectacular all the experiences were I would highly recommend using this company to plan any tour.

They put together a top-notch trip with only 2 weeks notice. I had some moderate traveling issues in two cities that they took care of easily. The team is very responsive overall. Will be using them again.

Brilliant Africa organized our dream trip with outstanding attention to detail, timely communications and fast responses… this with impeccable professionalism made our travel preparations seamless!
Every single day of our trip was simply a dream. We had the best guides and the best accommodations everywhere we went. Everyone was always a step ahead of our needs and genuinely cared about us.
Thank you Aly and Tracy for making our dream come true in the best possible way!

The ladies that planned my trip are simply awesome! We were never left alone to fend for ourselves; the guides and drivers were always on time, dependable, and knowledgeable. Our accommodations were FABULOUS! The people on-site were warm, friendly, and so very kind; i enjoyed them all! They took very good care of us at all times; I cannot thank them enough. From beginning to end, this trip was simply perfect. I will forever remember every moment and interaction with joy.
