1998 Client Testimonials

We saw so many animals, in their natural environment, looking so contented - it sent shivers down my spine to see such wonderful sights. You arranged a varied and exciting itinerary. We were living very close to nature!
S. Reddings

This was the Africa I expected to see! You put many of my pre-trip concerns to rest, and boy did I have concerns! Each time my inquiries were addressed in less than 24 hours. I always felt supported. It was also a pleasure dealing with a company who had checked out the places and tours they were sending us to, and who are obviously enthusiastic about Africa! We may have to stop traveling because I don't know how we are going to top this one!
S. and S. Phipps, September 1998, New Jersey USA

All in all, the trip was everything we expected and more. Thanks so much for your input and assistance. It really made the trip a "once in a lifetime" experience that we intend to repeat.
B. and K. Gilles, August 1998, Washington USA

I was apprehensive investing so much money and enthusiasm with a company I knew only from the internet. Your knowledge of Africa proved to be right on the mark and the organization was simply outstanding!
A. and C. Christensen, August 1998, New Jersey USA

Your staff and contacts were very attentive, punctual, reliable, knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. You have truly put together the ‘A’ team and we recognized and appreciated that fact. Everything went as planned...quite an accomplishment for such a complex trip. Every single thing we discussed was handled perfectly. We had the best suites and all of our private activities, dinners, and game drives were first class. It may have been my imagination but it seemed that the staff were very aware of us and treated us as if we were very special. It seemed as if someone was always checking to make sure everything was going well and that we were being well cared for. Having traveled to this part of the world in the past, this type of treatment was very reassuring and, again, appreciated. I am sure that you and your people had a lot to do with this. Please thank each of the ‘out front’ and ‘behind the scenes’ personnel. It was very obvious that they were always there...just when we needed them. We really enjoyed all of our safari activities, especially the private tours and events that you had arranged. The guides were super, as you had assured me, and very accommodating to our needs. I have excellent photos as testimony to their ability to get us in the right place at the right time! There were so many thrills that I cannot possibly take to time to share all of them with you. I cannot say enough about the thoroughness of you and your organization. I realize that I paid quite a bit for this experience and I expected a lot in return. Well, I am very satisfied that I received my money’s worth...and then some. It is good to know that there are people like you who really do care about their clients and their experiences. People always ask me if I would do it all again whenever I take a trip such as this one. I can say without hesitation that I would gladly book another Ultimate Africa Safari. I can think of no better accolade. You and your staff certainly deserve the credit for my being able to make that statement.
R. Simmons, August 1998, California USA

Thank you! It was brilliant from start to finish. The guides, the wildlife, the lodges, the transfers, the food...in short everything was spectacular and beyond our wildest expectations. We had some of the best guides available (we discovered this subsequently from hearsay and other traveler’s disaster tales!). At the root of all this success was your itinerary and suggestions and we are both extremely grateful. A trip like this could easily have been a nightmare if not well planned and executed (as happened to some of the "unfortunates" we met along the way) and this is 100% to your credit.
J. and L. Brand, August 1998, Singapore

Africa is truly a magical place and we had such a good time. We appreciate the calls made when our return flight from Miami to Houston was cancelled. Not many people take the time to be so detailed and conscientious.
C. and R. Griggs and B. Payne, July 1998, Texas USA

The trip was amazing. Every flight on time, every connection smooth, every hotel, lodge, tented camp great, every person nice, every meal fine, perfect weather, great combination of action and relaxation.
R. Fisher and J. Stern, July 1998, New York USA

We have traveled independently and extensively around the world and our Ultimate Africa trip to Africa, by far, ranks number one in terms of pre-departure information, accommodations, foods, and overall experience.
A. and T. Raubvogel, July 1998, California USA

It was an absolutely incredible trip. Everything went smoothly, down to the littlest details. The variety of experiences among the safari camps was perfect. Each had something unique to offer and the order we did them in was the right way to do it. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about everything, very courteous and professional. This makes such a huge difference in the quality of the safari. We met up with other traveler’s who also booked their trip through Ultimate Africa, and they were having an awesome time too. I have to hand it to you for all the excellent recommendations you made. And all the pre-trip information you provided was bang-on accurate. We really appreciated that all the camps knew about my wife's dietary restrictions, and accommodated her without making a big deal out of it. You did a fantastic job with this trip... we’re telling everyone in sight about it.
A. and T. Raubvogel, June 1998, California USA

I want to thank you once again for helping to make our honeymoon so unforgettable. I would highly recommend Ultimate Africa for anyone looking to go on safari - you were able to perfectly ascertain what we wanted from our safari.
K. and J. Richman, June 1998, Virginia USA

To go half way around the world and have a trip come off with hardly a hitch is a tremendous feat! We relaxed. We ate too much. We took too many photos! We had too much fun! You couldn't improve on our experience! You and all your partners along the way outdid yourselves. All the lodges were unique and top notch. We had more personalized service than either one of us could have imagined possible. And the food! I had no idea we were in for such elegance. I just can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
S. and C. Inman, June 1998, Iowa USA

You’re wonderful! Thank you so much! Thank you for all your hard work.
S. and J. Levy, April 1998, California USA

We were charged by a hippo, our tent blew over at 2AM in a torrential downpour, our guide came down with malaria, I was held underwater by a whirlpool for an uncomfortably long period of time while rafting, and we had the greatest vacation we have ever had together. We were treated to first class service the entire time. Our guide was very professional, and everything about the service was "Ritz Carlton in the Bush". Thank you for arranging such an adventurous trip. I would be happy to serve as a highly laudatory reference for you.
M. and S. Ames, February 1998, Pennsylvania USA

...an amazing, enriching experience. It couldn’t have been any better.
L. Ericson, January 1998, California USA
