Expert advice and arrangements
Being new to Africa travel, we had only vague ideas about where we'd like to go on safari and what kind of camps and tours were available. We also started planning a bit late for getting the best camps in the best season. Tailormade Africa's Clyde Beaty talked us through the options and came back with a perfect two-week tour of Northern Zimbabwe, including four different camps -- a mobile camp in Hwange NP, a private lodge on Lake Kariba, a small seasonal camp in Mana Pools NP and finally a more elaborate and luxurious camp in a concession , also at Mana Pools. Once in Zimbabwe everything went smoothly (despite an airline delay arriving); all the land connections and internal small plane flights were as planned. The the camps were each different and each had its attractions; taken together they were a fantastic introduction to Southern Africa wildlife and safari culture. Hope we can go back soon -- we would definitely do it through Tailormade!

My annual getaway
I can't see myself going on safari with any other safari company. The lodge, food, company, views, animals - the whole package is what makes me go again and again without any doubts. Shaun, the owner, goes to every length to keep his guests happy. His knowledge, sense of humour and overall warm personality makes any day in the bush a memorable one.

Well aranged safari, with experienced guide and human touch
The guide knew what he was doing, knew where to go for good spotting. Communication with Jeff was good, he kept us up to speed and offered alternatives if needed. We were well taken care of with good lunch and a human touch... Jeff was clear about the teams of our booking and explained everything very clearly. Only minus:you have to pay in cash...

Fantasitc, start to finish
I can't recommend Avocet enough, from start to finish we were looked after brilliantly. Out driver/Guide edgar was top class, as was our cook Hadji - no complaints at all about the food, it was fantastic. Edgar went to great lengths to make sure we got to see all of the 'BIG 5' - I cant find fault with any of the trip or Avocet - 5 stars....

Very professional, available, flexible - I strongly recommend!!!
I thank Ryan for the great support in the organization before the safari and I do thank Doug our guide during 4 wonderful days in Kruger for his knowledge, his patience and his kindness.
This company deserve to be well known and I do recomment to everybody reading my comments not to hesitate. I've contacted many of safari agency and I didn't find more profesionnal than Adventure Anywhere (Ryan is very reactive). I saw many of their competitors on the road of Kruger Park who drives very fast and miss a lot only thinking about Big5 to get better tips at the end (a shame to miss other animals...).
Long life to this Adventure Anywhere !!!

Photo tour to Masai Mara National reserve
When planning a photo tour, you can never be 100% sure of success. Much depends on the professionalism of the local staff but also from luck. I was lucky in this tour and I saw all interested to me animals, and brought home a lot of positive emotions and photos. And thanks to local staff - they are very positive and did a lot to make a tour successful.
My first time Safari
The arrangements were made with Safari Club Ltd by a friend who is a frequent traveller to Africa. She was delighted with her initial phone call and we went ahead with the booking. We knew exactly what we wanted and they carried out the instructions perfectly. Safari Club where thorough in their advice on health, weight on the private planes etc. All our requests were carried out in a very friendly professional way. Whether you are a new traveller or seasoned Safari Club will arrange a memorable Safari trip. I suppose the fact the directors have travelled there many times and know the area so well is a bonus to me as a new traveller
. Little Governor's Camp where we stayed in the Masai Mara was wonderful. Our driver/guide was so knowledge with endless patience we saw all the animals possible.
Our first two nights were spent by Lake Naivasha in Loldia House which is a wonderful house on the lake surrounded by animals and birds. The house is beautiful and food better than any famous restaurant in London. Well worth a couple of days either before or after the safari. Well done Safari Club I hope you will arrange another great trip for us.

caring, considerate, efficient and thorough
more than met expectations and care and consideration continued during the trip. Every detail was addressed and when flight times were not optimal others were addressed and transfers and visits arranged to fill in the time. Edith was particularly caring and friendly.

3 days safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro
Hamadi and Rama, our tour guide, are very nice and friendly people, they accomodated our wishes until the very last minute. I organized the safari with Hamadi asking for specific places to stay, and he found great prices in the places I wanted!
The safari went smoothly, and Rama explained us a lot of things about animals and the parks!
I would definitely recommend them and even book again with Face of Africa adventures!
