You have the best African website in the world!
C. Payne, October 2002

Excellent service. Great to work with Ian. Would recommend Ultimate Africa highly.
S. and R. Hettleman, October 2002, Brooklyn, New York, USA

Our honeymoon in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe was better than we dreamed. The people, the lodges, the camps, and the wildlife were truly amazing! We have so many stories and wonderful memories which include wildlife sightings, dinner in the bush, and guides who became our friends. Originally we planned this to be a trip of a lifetime, but we have already decided that we must visit again! Ultimate Africa was superb! Staff were extremely knowledgeable. Thank you for planning such an enjoyable and memorable honeymoon. We will definitely recommend you to others…
A. Moerke and C. Sherwinski, September / October 2002, South Bend, Indiana, USA

Even though we have traveled all over the world, we believe our Africa trip was very special. It is a highlight in our many adventures to some quite remote places. Your planning on our behalf was outstanding. Thanks for your incredible assistance.
R. and D. Davis, September 2002, Groveland, California, USA

Extremely thorough and professional. Every pro and con was explained. There were absolutely no unpleasant surprises. Everything was far more spectacular than we ever imagined. Thank you for arranging the BEST VACATION OF OUR LIFE!  
C. and H. Fairweather, September 2002, Lauderhill, Florida, USA

Very professional! Extremely knowledgeable. Very helpful in coordinating a trip that fit our needs.
P. Riddols and A. Evans, September 2002, Pacific Grove, California, USA

Overall our trip was extremely well coordinated. I would change nothing – the trip was well paced and the mix of camps and lodges was perfect! Would we book again – Oh yes! Not only was the trip planning well done but I believe we were the beneficiary of Ultimate Africa reputation in a number of ways.
S. Morris and B. Bullock, September 2002, Reston, Virginia, USA

Everyone at Ultimate Africa were extremely helpful planning our honeymoon trip to Africa.
Questions were answered to our satisfaction and we liked that you offered your opinions when asked - it sets your firm apart from others who are too afraid or ignorant to offer opinions.  We look forward to working with you in the future.
M. Aher and J. McCoy, September 2002, Needham, Massachusetts, USA

Thanks again for organizing another amazing safari experience! Namibia exceeded our expectations with the spectacular scenery and especially the wildlife. The Botswana trip was also incredible and the wildlife was prolific. We would highly recommend the type of safari that we had (i.e. small open vehicles for game drives etc.). Once again we are already anxious to return to Africa for another safari!
R. and H. Austring, September 2002, Seaford, Delaware, USA

Memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives...
R. and S. Jimenez, September 2002, Pocatello, Idaho, USA

We had such a good time, an unbelievable dream come true anniversary trip for us. We had a great safari through Ultimate Africa Safaris!
C. and C. Layton, September 2002, Pocatello, Idaho, USA

We wanted to tell you our trip to Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana and Victoria Falls was FANTASTIC!  All of your planning was great. We had a super trip!
D. and D. Davis, September 2002, Groveland, California, USA

Could not have been better. Trip of a lifetime. We have recommended your company to many friends.
E. and J. Gravely, August 2002, Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA

We got back this morning and I wanted to tell you that our trip was WONDERFUL!!!! We had a great time and every camp was special. And the most unexpected pleasure was our private pilot / guide Philip. We loved him. He added so much to our experience and we came very close to kidnapping him and bringing home with us. We HIGHLY recommend that you book him for future clients - they will not be disappointed. I'll provide a more detailed report later, but I just wanted you to know how happy we all are. The only thing we are unhappy about is that we are back home. Personally, I could stay in Africa forever. Thanks for everything! Wow!
S. McDermott and Family, August 2002, Altanta, Georgia, USA

Our Botswana safari was absolutely incredible and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Richard and Sarah were EXCEPTIONAL guides and hosts (so knowledgeable and wonderful!) and all the camps were beautiful. Fantastic service, accommodations and overall experience. We can't rave about it enough!
P. Claar and S. Sodal, August 2002, Seattle, Washington, USA

We had the most glorious trip to South Africa, Botswana and Victoria Falls. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime. It was perfect from beginning to end. We saw more animals and more variety of animals than I ever expected. Thank you so much for arranging such a wonderful trip. Every detail was taken care of and it truly was the best trip we have ever taken. We loved every minute! We were very pleased with the whole package! We wouldn't change a thing. You do a wonderful job there at Ultimate Africa Safaris.
P. and T. Heffelfinger, August 2002, Potomac, Maryland, USA

It was absolutely excellent!
S. Hoban, August 2002, Long Beach, California, USA

WOW!
J. Vaughn and D. Creel,  August 2002, Long Beach, California, USA

Our safari was absolutely perfect!!! The entire trip far exceeded our highest expectations. It was an unbelievable experience, and the guides ensured that we enjoyed every minute. I could ramble on forever, but I have to get to my most important point: Many kudos to Ultimate Africa Safaris!!! I truly appreciate your putting together this trip for us. Everything was so well organized and your planning was flawless. GREAT WORK!!
J. and J. McMahon,  August 2002, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

I will definitely will book with you again for future Africa trips and recommend Ultimate Africa to anyone that plans to visit that beautiful continent.
M. Irureta,  August 2002, Los Angeles, California, USA

Our Kenyan safari was great! Very well coordinated. The best part was meeting all the personalities!
P. and M. Dickens, August 2002, Simi Valley, California, USA

Barbara and I wanted to personally thank you for organizing such a wonderful safari itinerary. Everyone was well organized, prompt and extremely courteous. The scheduling and logistics were exceptional. A very reassuring part of the experience was the confidence that we would be collected and delivered right on time. I cannot help but think that you scheduled the camps in the sequence you did on purpose. This family holiday was one of those “once in a lifetime” experiences. It far exceeded our expectations and I cannot thank you enough for the choices of camps and the essentially flawless execution of the whole safari. After experiencing a week of African “efficiency” in Malawi visiting our daughter, it was a wonderful change to be in the hands of professionals who made sure we were taken care of. Trip details were explained in great detail and staff were very helpful. We will recommend you highly. Absolutely exceeded our expectations. Was reassuring to have people at camps know you and speak highly of your expertise. We are most grateful for your assistance. You can be assured we have already and will continue to recommend Ultimate Africa to everyone. Now….since Abby will be in Malawi for another 16 months….Barbara and I may just have to sneak back to Africa next summer for a visit…you’ll be the first person we call if we decide to do that!
J. Rivenbark and Family, July / August 2002, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA

I'll never forget this trip as long as I live - and am already telling family and friends that this is a must do activity. Thanks for organizing things. In appreciation.
A. Rothwell, July / August 2002, Palm Beach, New South Wales, Australia

Thanks for a well-crafted itinerary. The trip exceeded our expectations. Thank god that it was the dry season and there were no insects because we spent most of the trip breathing through our mouths with our jaws agape in awe. The scenery was diverse and like no where else on earth. The guides and the camp managers were fun and gracious hosts. The animal encounters were awesome. I have sent many referrals your way.
B. Ludwig and Family, July 2002, West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA

Thanks for putting together a great Kenya / Tanzania safari together on very short notice. We had a fantastic time - one that we will never forget. I have already referred a colleague to you.
J. and C. Karrells, July 2002, San Francisco, California, USA

Our Tanzanian safari was a major success. We saw all the big game etc.- fantastic! Our driver/guide, Julius, was first-rate, knowledgeable, skilful, amusing, and considerate. He couldn't have been better. And the rest of the crew were also great. They were efficient, friendly, and well-aware of customer needs. I would love to be in their hands again. It was excellent, and entirely reassuring, doing business with you.
K. and M. Sturgess, July 2002, Nafplion, Greece

I would definitely book with Ultimate Africa again! The trip was very well planned and organized. Not a single step of the trip forgotten. The expertise of the guides and staff at the camps was exceptional and the care and concern for our safety was always a priority. The overall experience was amazing and we would enthusiastically recommend Ultimate Africa to others!
V. Serravallo and Family, July 2002, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, USA

We ran into other folks on the trip who had booked with Ultimate Africa and we all had only the highest praise. We couldn't have planned it on our own. The selection of camps, the sequence, was really nice. Little extras that we otherwise wouldn't have known about made a huge difference! You couldn't have planned it better. It all made for a very relaxing, stress free, trip. Thanks - looking forward to planning the next trip!
J. Chan and R. Shinghal, July 2002, Palo Alta, California, USA

A friend and I recently returned from an absolutely incredible trip to South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. It far exceeded my expectations...and those who know me will confirm that my standards are quite high! How to tell you what an incredible time we had? How to communicate how impressed we were with all of the connections, transfers, flights? Your planning was masterful. While trusting the professionalism of our Ultimate Africa Safaris, we frankly had no idea just how all of our required connections would work. But we departed JFK in New York, trusting that someone at our destination would be expecting us and ready to assist us in this travel adventure. And there your staff members were! Always there to meet and transport us. Always prepared. Always courteous. Always patient with the myriad of questions we asked. Always professional. Please accept our compliments on the high quality of not only your staff but your organization as well. Now that we've returned, almost none of our friends can believe that we did this "on our own." In truth, we didn't. We had Ultimate Africa Safaris on which to depend. And that made all of the difference. I have been fortunate in my travel opportunities - Europe several times, Japan, Hawaii several times, and even Kenya and Tanzania in east Africa. But none of those experiences can equal the wonderful holiday you arranged for us! We had thought this might be the holiday of a lifetime and indeed it was! Thank you for your excellent service and coordination. You indeed helped create for us a trip "of a lifetime." Please accept our little thank you of sweet treats from nearby Hershey, Pennsylvania. Our gesture to you for creating one of the "sweetest" holidays ever for us! With much appreciation and many amazing memories.
B. Rhoads and M. Shaak, June / July 2002, Palmyra, Pennsylvania, USA

Our family's trip to South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe was so wonderful! We cannot think of anything that could have been done better. Feel free to use us as a reference any time.
S. Gertz and Family, June / July 2002, Seattle, Washington, USA

WOW!! We are telling all our friends about our Botswana / Zimbabwe safari! Mombo is Africa on steroids - you can sit in one place for 30 minutes and all the African animals will walk by.
R. and S. Rothney, June 2002, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

I would book a future trip through Ultimate Africa. I prefer the smaller camps you suggested to others I have been to and would recommend these to others. Overall it was great!
S. Lietart and B. Smith , June 2002, Astoria, New York, USA

We just came back from an absolutely lovely trip. All your suggestions were wonderful -  truly wonderful! Your schedule was just right. Eric says that if you have any clients who want to know what it is like to go on a safari like you planned for us give them our name and he will tell them how much we loved it. I am also writing an article about our trip...will send you a copy.
M. and E. Outwater, May 2002, Center Valley, Pennsylvania, USA

I spoke with you many times with many, many questions. They were all answered fully and truthfully so I was pretty well prepared and knew more what to expect than others on my trip. Thank you for your patience. I had a wonderful adventure.
S. Goodstein, May 2002, Portland, Oregon, USA

You are faultless - you never miss a beat. We would never look elsewhere for African travel. We will undoubtedly be going to Africa again!
E. Garrett and Family, March 2002, Ellsworth, Maine, USA
