Fabulous Mara/Samburu game reserves

Two fabulous lodges: Enkewa and Saruni Samburu, wonderful service, great guides. Breathtaking accommodation and scenery at Saruni. New, unusual mammals for us and dozens of new birds. Teenage grandchildren loved the whole adventure. Well arranged by Africa Geographic as usual

Greetings Lex, Joan and extended family. What an adventure - Samburu is one of Kenya's little gems - so many unique species, and those spectacular views! And, of course, the Maasai Mara needs no introduction (especially for you ;-). Thanks for this wonderful review, and for your ongoing support. Safari njema!

Christian from Africa Geographic Travel…

Christian from Africa Geographic Travel was really good in helping us with a special occasion safari. His advice on selection of camps in the Okavango was really good. All arrangements worked well and it was a great experience.
Thanks

Dear Christine & Gavin,
Thank you for your kind words! Those two camps are some of Christian's (and our) absolute favourites, they create such an authentic Okavango experience every time.

Would not change anything....

Nadia helped us design a fantastic 17 day safari adventure across three countries (on short notice). Everything worked seamlessly, from flights to properties to transfers. More importantly, she responded immediately to any questions we had mid-journey. We could not be happier with our decision to work with Africa Geographic. Amazing experience, with no friction.

Thank you Mark, for that lovely review. We're all pretty envious of your safari, which covered so much ground and took in such varied ecosystems and experiences. Three countries, four iconic reserves and the time to soak it all up! You were a pleasure to work with and we look forward to helping you craft your next safari.

I Recommend the Ultimate Primate Safari

We had a great experience with guidance from Christian from Africa Geographic, He helped us plan, customize, and experience the Ultimate Primate Safari. We saw gorillas, monkeys, chimpanzees, and whale sharks in their natural settings. Our wonderful guide, Gaston, helped us enjoy East Central Africa with personalized attention and care
Thank you for a truly memorable journey

Thanks for the kind words, Peter :-). Your and Charmian's adventure in the Karoo was a pleasure to stitch together - this is not a common request, and we enjoyed the refreshingly different challenge. As you know, this is a wonderful area, and we hope to send more clients to enjoy the solitude, unique wildlife and authenticity of the experience. Until next time ...

Great Kruger + Cape Town combo

We had a marvelous family trip during christmas holidays. AG tailor designed a perfect trip for us. The choice of lodges in the Kruger area was very good and well sequenced; we met very professional and smily staff everywhere. The accomodation in Cape Town was very comfortable and well located. The communication with AG staff was also very fluid and efficient. Thank you Risette and Christian. We highly recommend AG travel agency!

Tented camping in Botswana

The wildlife was fascinating. Our guide Paul was wonderful. We loved the staff in camp, particularly Pula and MK, and were really happy to have visited.
We loved camping and the outdoor areas.

The mokoro was really great and we enjoyed the boat on the Chobe River. The experience was superb.

Our guide Paul was a delight. He was informative, helpful, funny and told us the backstory on many of the animals along the way. I learned a lot from him, and we enjoyed his company very much. He has the patience of Job!

The highlights were the animals. Watching wild dogs after a kill and seeing them following a herd of wildebeest. Seeing so many lions and listening to Paul tell us what he knew about each pride. The elephants were magnificent and the birds were fantastic. The wildlife from the insects to the mega-mammals were of course the highlights. Indescribably beautiful. Also: the baobobs!

Good morning Lynn, thanks for your very kind review - we are so glad you thoroughly enjoyed this epic glamping safari. Thanks also for your emailed feedback about the Chobe NP waterholes - we have forwarded that to relevant organisations. Enjoy Gabon - and if that safari does not occur, we have a date lined up for you with Grauer's gorillas! Safe travels

An incredible holiday experience in the African Bush. Highly recommended!

We completely agree with Jane Allin’s comments, the friend that we traveled with and who suggested this trip to us. It was the first of its kind in our experience and exceeded our expectations in every way. Peter especially enjoyed the extraordinary opportunities to photograph such wonderful sights. Rosemary learnt a great deal about the nature and wildlife of the areas visited and appreciated the expertise of the guides who attended upon us. Christian arranged the trip in the perfect order, with the exciting mobile camping safari for the first nine days, followed up by a more luxurious experience in the Lodges. With many thanks Peter and Rosemary.

Thanks so much for your kind words Peter & Rosemary (via Mark). Blending glamping with a more popular lodge-based safari gave your crew a fantastic feel for the journey across Botswana and Zimbabwe. Here's to your next adventure with us!

Our trip to Zambia Lower Zambesi Parc and Southern Luangwa Valley and Victoria Falls was unforgettable.Never seen so much game in 9 days.Sausage Tree Camp and Lions Camp were superb.Lunch in the Zambesi at Sausage Tree Camp and in the Bush at Lions Camp were unforgettable.Victoria Falls Hotel remains one of my favourite hotels in the world.Christian,as usual, organised the trip and all worked excellently.It must have been about the fifth or sixth trip organised by Christian for us.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review Ulrich. What an epic safari - we all were very jealous when Christian revealed what he had planned for you. Thanks also for coming on safari so often with us - repeat business is the biggest compliment of all!

Amazing experience of migration

The experience we had from the beginning to end exceeded our expectations. Christian knew all that was needed to ensure our seamless travel and it was surely an awesome experience. The staff at Sentinel was very friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable except finer details in the rooms like checking that glasses used are replaced with clean ones or washed to be used again
Meals with chef Joshua was something we always looked forward to. Peter, the manager , was exceptional. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family.

One thing that I did not understand is the staff that is 100% male. This we noticed by finer details of housekeeping that were not taken care of throughout.

Hello Grace, thank you so much for your kind review. We should be the ones giving the two of you 5-star reviews as model clients! You have touched on an interesting topic. It is very rare to find female junior staff (housekeeping) in remote Kenyan camps. We suspect this is because it is frowned upon for unmarried daughters and wives to work away or live in close proximity to men. We will certainly pass your feedback on to the team at Sentinel Mara.

Trip to Samburu and Amboseli, Kenya

Our second trip with Africa Geographic to Samburu and Amboseli in Kenya was well organised by Christian, as was our first trip to Masaai Mara. Our Safari-link flights all went smoothly and our accommodation excellent. The Surana Buffalo Springs lodge at Samburu has a beautiful setting overlooking the Ewaso and Isiolo river confluence with units having their own plunge pools for cooling off in the heat. Staff very friendly, food great and our guide Mick excellent - especially his knowledge with the unfamiliar wild life at Samburu. The Ol Tukai lodge is within the Amboseli National Park with a view of Kilimanjaro, more busy than Samburu, but staff once again friendly and buffet meals good. Our guide Isaac very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent overview of the variety of game and diverse landscape of the area. We would certainly use Africa Geographic again.

Botswana Mobile Safari

Working with Christian and his Africa Geo team, we had planned out a two week mobile safari in Botswana's Moremi, Khwai, Savuti and Chobe Riverfront. We were very happy with the experience, and most especially our guide, Moagi Robson and his team. On previous trips (not through Africa Geo) we've had both wonderful, and not so wonderful guides. Robson was one of the best trackers we've met, to the extent that other guides shadowed us as he tracked leopards, lions and wild dogs. We couldn't imagine returning to Botswana without Robson as our guide.

The accommodations were comfortable, the meals were great (too much food for two people) but it was the team (Robson, Mike, Aaron, Steve and Philip) that really made the trip special.

I should also mention that we had initially reached out to a couple of other operators for this trip and their quotes were eye wateringly high. Happy that we found Christian who worked within our budget while also delivering exactly what we were looking for. Excellent value for money.

Many thanks again to Christian and Africa Geo, we are already planning out the bones of a next adventure we want to work with them on.

Hello Chuck and Mel, thank you for providing such a detailed review! Your mobile glamping safari is the best way to see as much of stunning Botswana as possible - without breaking the bank. We are so glad you had a great time and are already planning your next adventure!

Trip of a lifetime.

First, I have to admit that I have never been to Africa, nor have I been on a Safari. Christen was the first person that I worked with in setting up the Safari. I cannot express my sincere appreciation for all the work he did for me.He scheduled my reservations at the hotel, the flight reservations on air link to the reserve as well as clearly explaining all my questions concerning the art safari with Allison Nichols.
I was so surprised at the accommodations at the lodge, the food was outstanding, the service was great, and the tour of the animals just got better day after day.
Both Gideon and Eric (guide and tracker) were very knowledgeable and friendly. There was no time during the trip that I felt uneasy being out amongst the animals. (even when I dropped my phone and Eric had to retrieve it.)
Alison , our art instructor, was great in demonstrating how to do watercolors, and also and sketching the animals while we were out on tour.
I would highly recommend any safari that was put together with Africa geographical and/or Alison Nicholas.

Chitake Springs on foot

The ladies I met, were really really nice. Villiers is amazing and I met Carl.. what an awesome and knowledgeable young man.... Then all your staff working on site, were absolutely marvelous. Nothing was too much trouble. We had 2 ladies who were gluten intolerant and they were served such good meals... no problem at all. My first time on a walking safari... very different... My only complaint was the heat and the flies.. I really struggled with that... but that of course, was not anybody's fault. Our flights in the little "mosquito" plane was a first for me too. All our pick ups and drop offs went smoothly. If you are an animal enthusiast, do try this safari. If you need advice about your camera, Villiers will sort all your problems out. Highly recommended.

Thanks so much for your review, Marilyn; we appreciate your kind words and valuable input. The heat and tsetse flies can certainly be an issue in the late dry season - but the raw exuberance of the wildlife encounters hopefully made up for that! We look forward to helping you plan your next African adventure.

Our trip to South Africa

Our trip to South Africa, Botswana and Victoria Falls truly exceeded our expectations. Christian diligently worked with us to put together a great itinerary for our first trip to Africa. We appreciated Christian's availability and follow up. We certainly recommend Africa Geographic for a great African experience.

Chitake with Africa Geographic Travel - definitely a YES

Africa Travel has an awesome team. The booking and follow-through all went smoothly. The two guides Villiers Steyn and Carl Nicholson worked together seamlessly as did the four ladies on the safari. Accommodation was what I wanted - a true bush experience. I rate this as one of my best photographic safari group experiences.

Tree-spotting in Kafue National Park…
