⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ feedback from happy clients 😄
We were on the Southern Explorer trip that just finished. It well exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend Andy and The Safari Company to anyone. We were amazed at how many animals (and birds) we saw and how close we got to them. We saw all the ‘important’ animals, some in great numbers, as well as more ‘minor’ species. I was able to get some photos that I am very pleased with using consumer level lenses.
The accommodation was all good, some of it was excellent, either by virtue of its location or its overall quality. On a couple of occasions we stayed in places that could be labelled as nondescript but these were clean and functional and spacious and entirely adequate for the task. In other circumstances these lesser places would not have attracted my comment; it is only in comparison to the other spectacular lodgings that they were eclipsed. Breakfasts and dinners at the various hotels were always good, once again sometimes excellent. Restaurants that Andy took us to were of a consistently high standard. Lunches on the truck were fresh and enjoyable, and Nico’s (and Andy’s) cooking for dinners was always delicious; Nico’s divine soups deserve a particular mention.
Andy runs a great trip: everything worked well, there were no hassles and we always knew we were in good and safe hands. His care for his clients and his depth of knowledge about all aspects of the journey and obvious love for what he was showing us made for a truly memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone. And on top of that Andy is a top bloke and good host, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
