Fabulous 9 Day East African Safari Courtesy of Planet Africa Safaris!
Just returned from the above "dream" vacation with my family of 4. Entire trip was booked courtesy of Mary and Leah from Planet Africa Safaris. We stayed in 3 high end tented camps in Kenya (Ol Pejeta Bush Camp, Rekero Camp, and Naboisho Camp). We flew between the first two camps and then flew from Naboisho back to Nairobi for departure. Given all of the logisitics re flights, intercamp travels, and lodgings, Planet Africa Safaris should get 10 stars for their service. Every single detail was planned perfectly and we were treated in the utmost professional manner. Furthermore, I honestly believe the 3 camps we chose (at Mary's recommendation) were the 3 best in all of Kenya! Spectacular trip - I can't thank the team at Planet Africa Safaris enough for their help. Will definitely recommend them to anyone interested in going to Africa in the future.
Amazing honeymoon with Planet Africa
The two-week honeymoon to Tanzania and Zanzibar we planned with Planet Africa was absolutely incredible! The Planet Africa team was very knowledgeable, helped us to craft a unique itinerary, and were easily able to accommodate the specific requests we had of places to stay or activities we wanted to do. We were very impressed by most of the lodges and hotels suggested by Planet Africa. The logistics of the trip and transfers between locations and guides were seamless, which meant we didn’t have to worry about anything. We would highly recommend working with Planet Africa!

Amazing Safari with Planet Africa Safari
Thanks to Planet Africa Safari, we organized our amazing honeymoon in Tanzania (10 days in the mainland, 8 days in Zanzibar). We stayed in 3 different Asilia Africa's lodges: Oliver's camp in Tarangire, the Highlands in the Ngorongoro and Ubunti in the Northern Serengeti. We also stayed in other two amazing lodges partnering with Asilia, Kisima Ngeda in Lake Eyasi and Plantation Lodge in Lake Manyara. In Zanzibar, we stayed at the amazing Xanadu Private Villas.
Overall, we could not recommend more Planet Africa! The accommodations exceeded all our expectations (we are talking about luxury lodges or tents) and the organization was simply phenomenal: superb guides (with great knowledge and experience) and lovely camp staff!
I would definitely recommend 100 times Planet Africa!

Planet Africa planned the ultimate, perfect trip! Could not have been better.
This was our first safari, and was to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. Mary at Planet Africa was supremely helpful and is an expert with regards to east African safaris. She spent some time up front talking to me to understand what type of travelers we were and what we wanted to do and see. Then we planned out the itinerary, which included 4 game reserves in Tanzania (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater, Serengeti) one in Kenya (Masai Mara) and then a beach holiday at Azura Quilalea in Mozambique. During the planning process she was very responsive, helpful and patient -- she spent hours on the phone or emailing me when I had questions or new ideas based on my research. After we finalized the locations we wanted to visit, she would recommend a couple of different lodging options at different price points, all that she had stayed at and knew herself, and she would tell us pros and cons of each. And when we arrived at each location we discovered that she was completely honest and candid about what to expect. She cared and wanted us to have a wonderful experience. As I mentioned, this was our first safari and I was working with some someone on the other side of the globe to plan it, so admittedly I had some trepidation at the start. But her responsiveness and candor put me at ease and I enjoyed working with her. I now realize it is far better to work with someone who has experience and has gone on many, many safaris, and who knows the lodges and resorts because she had stayed there. Also, when Mary was traveling herself or unavailable, someone always responded to me immediately and was quick to help. And there were also many nice details about working with Planet Africa. They provided all sorts of data about the trip, ideas about what to see and do, what to pack. They made sure there was someone at all points to transfer us and help with questions. They arranged 50th birthday cake surprises at one safari lodge and at the beach resort. Our luggage was lost on arrival and they got it to us quickly -- out in the bush. Just a lot of nice little details that made us comfortable and added to our trip. I would recommend Planet Africa Safaris to anyone, and I plan to use them again for my next trip to Africa.
