First, we want to say that this review is long overdue!
My partner and I took our trip to South Africa in June 2025. We went through "Africa Adventure Consultants" and honestly can't say enough great things about them! Their customer service was exceptional! From the first phone call until the end of our trip, we were impressed beyond words.
Angie-Sarah Voigt was our primary consultant. She was so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable -- we thoroughly enjoyed talking with her! She lives in the U.S. but is from S. Africa - so she has experienced all of the adventures that we went on and could explain everything in detail (spot on).
We asked to go to private, luxury safari reserves, where we could experience all of the animals and different South African terrains. After much discussion, Angie arranged for us to go to Kambaku River Sands (our favorite!) and "andBeyond Phinda Forest Lodge." BOTH WERE EXCEPTIONAL!!
There were so many little extras that I would have never expected that truly impressed us (e.g., champagne greeting, hot washcloth greetings, warm beds, hot water bottles to warm us in the open-air vehicles, romantic champagne bubble bath, special snacks and drinks in our beautiful suites, special hand-written notes, staff's attention to every detail and their African dancing!! (the list goes on!).
Aside from Angie, her colleague, Kerri Callender, provided excellent service as well! If Angie wasn't available, Kerri was always there!
Oh, and most importantly, we saw every animal we'd hoped to see - and so many more (Big Five, cheetahs, hyenas, wildebeests, giraffes, hippos, zebras, crocodiles, various antelopes, etc.), of which would not have been possible without our extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and utterly exceptional guides and trackers. They transported us in perfect, open-air Land Rovers and Land Cruisers! They could take us virtually anywhere with those powerful 4-wheel drive vehicles and it was an absolute blast! And the guides had so much personality and made every trip so exciting! Special kudos to "Guy" at Kambaku River Sands (10/10!!) . . . Personality, passion, and so entertaining!
Honestly, if you want a trip of a lifetime (literally), you can't lose going through Africa Adventure Consultants, Inc.
Africa will remain forever in our hearts and souls.
Very sincerely and GRATEFULLY,
Rita and Vern
