South Africa, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Mozambique- Sept 2017
Zambezi Organized a trip for 14 of us that was highly customized and included differentiated itineraries to meet the needs of the group. Our group travels together frequently, so there were a lot of individual "wants" that the members agreed upon for this Safari. Schedules were met, we were consistently picked up and delivered on time. Accommodations were specific to our activities, and well appointed. Staff and Guides at each of the sites were attentive to our varied needs, and extremely knowledgable regarding the Safari drives. Travel vehicles were comfortable and offered each rider ample opportunity to get "that perfect photo". The Zambezi staff was fabulous in arranging a very special Safari at the following locations: Swaziland: Hawane Resort is an older facility but met out needs, and Richard, the manager went out of his way to see that things we wanted to do were arranged. We even attended the Reed Dance and saw the King of Swaziland. The Hawane staff was welcoming and service was excellent. South Africa: Shindzela Tented camp: I can't say enough about the fabulous experience we had here. We saw 4 of the big 5 on out first drive, and the birders were ecstatic with the morning drives. The camp is small (16 beds), so we had the entire facility and staff to ourselves for 4 days. We loved this experience. Service was excellent, food was excellent, and game drives were excellent. Sabi Sands Resort: Again, an excellent experience. Here, there were leopards "up close and personal", and a fabulous opportunity to photo a mother lion and 3 cubs. Big 5, definitely. Service was excellent, rooms were excellent, staff was excellent. Both Shindzela and Sabi Sands offered bush coffee and sundowner experiences. The game viewing was excellent at both locations. After Sabi Sands, the group split up, smaller groups enjoyed Victoria Falls, Vilanculos (Mozambique) and Pilanesberg National Park. My experience at Victoria Falls was excellent, as was the 4 days spent in Vilanculos. Again, accommodations, services and staff were excellent. Zambezi did a great job for us!

Amazing life changing experience! Private photographer safari success
Choosing a safari from half way around the globe can be a daunting challenge. Look no further! This tour exceeded all our expectations. We booked a 5 night photographer's safari through Moriti and Shaun. What helped us chose this one was Shaun's speed in replying and thoroughness in communication. We were booked with the Nzumba lodge in the Klaserie Camps and were delighted to spend time with Werner and Rica as our hosts. Werner is an extremely knowledgeable ranger and tracker who made us feel safe and a part of the family immediately. Rica was a gracious host who made every meal an art form and feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. The rooming was like something out of movie. 5 star all the way! The daily drives were private (just my husband and I) and customized to what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to stay out. I cannot recommend this location or it's hosts more! I'm telling all my friends about it...you should too!

Great Trip!
I went on an eleven day safari starting in Masai Mara, Kenya and ending in Ngrongoro, Tanzania. It involved several drivers, guides and a cook as well as several different lodges, campsites and hotels. It was logistically complicated but Peter did an excellent job of arranging everything. My drivers, etc., Patrick (Peter's brother), Francis (a terrific off-road driver), Paul, Hassan and Tom, my cook were all great. I saw pretty much everything I wanted to see including the big five and a cheetah kill all on the first full day in Masai Mara.
The hotels, lodges and campsites were a nice mix of luxury lodges, mid-range hotels and bare bones campsites so I got a taste of every kind of comfort level. The food was good and always more than I could eat.
If I go on safari again in an area that Peter covers I will surely use Africa MC Tours & Travel again.

Excellent customer service from first enquiry to end of trip
As a party of 6 we all had special requests for sites and areas we wanted to visit. We could not find an advertised trip that covered everything we wanted to do. A quick email to the Cardboard Box shop and Alison came back with an itinerary that worked for everyone. From the first correspondence everything was well organised. we had no experience of Namibia and Botswana but the selection of accommodation and trips worked perfectly for all of us. Every communication and question we had was promptly answered by Alison, the travel pack left for us at our first nights accommodation was very useful, this contained a copy of all our bookings, some specialist information on driving, safety etc.. There was also a detailed map with the accommodation, petrol stations and banks highlighted to help us on our trip. I don't think we could have put this trip together ourselves as the vast experience they have on all the accommodation ensured we had a comfortable stay wherever we were.

Great experience
Mr Jalala the owner and contact person of AAA Express Adventure was very fast to reply and willing to work with us in finding the right accommodations and travel plan for our safari. We've contacted a few companies and this one felt right from start to finish.
We opted for a six day private safari with a combination of lodges and a luxury tented camp in the Serengeti. The accommodations where wonderful and our guide and driver Gregory was a friendly man that could answer almost every question we threw at him. There were quite a lot.
I could definitely recommend booking your safari through AAA Express Adventures. With the different itineraries we have requested on settling for our perfect safari I'm confident they can provide an option that suits your needs and budget.

Always a great experience and love the support!
Off to Africa organized our honeymoon on Benguerra Island in Mozambique. It all ran very smoothly and it was a great recommendation - we had a lovely time there! They have booked several transfers and hotel bookings for us in Zimbabwe too, no hitches, always a pleasure, and lots of local knowledge.
