Excellent personalized service both before and during the safari - highly recommended.
We've been on several African safaris and really appreciated the specialised attention received in advance and great value on the ground.
In planning, attentive communications and assistance helped us to organise a customised tour on relatively short notice. Esther was far ahead of others in responsiveness and suggestions, and she also helped with great upgrades.
On arrival in Kenya, the handoff to our driver and guide James was smooth and we were in his highly-competent hands for an amazing week that included Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Naivasha and Amboseli - and just as importantly managing the intervening roads skillfully and safely.
James was also great at locating some harder to see animals including leopards that other guides and tourists had only hoped to see.
We'd love to do another tour with Leisure Escapes - and in the meantime recommend them highly!

AWP knows no impossibility when it comes to service.
I used a travel agency platform for finding a provider who would serve my rather special travel demands as I only wanted a short stay and could not accept long journeys to the wildlife I was so much interested in watching. AWP eventually was the only agency who responded to my requests and made sure that I had a terrific experience even though the obstacles only started to mount once we entered the planning phase. Plus, it all happened in a matter of days but it wouldn't had it not been for AWP's Phillips relentless search for solutions including awkward financing issues.

Superb client-tailored itinerary
When we decided to visit Namibia, we did not know where to start to create our itinerary. You can find a lot of pre-made itineraries on the web, and they always cover the same tourist places. Not many agencies are open to changing their itineraries. African Wanderer Tours + Safari, instead, was great. We have been in contact the whole time with Hanneke, who is nice and patient; she provides you with a lot of details and gives you a lot of suggestions. She created the perfect itinerary for us after we provided her with all the info about the places we wanted to visit. She carefully listened to our requests, and we even chose some places we stayed during our vacation. She cares about all the details and wants everything to be perfect. Also, during our vacation, she was always ready to reply to our emails, and she provided us with many suggestions about activities to do, roads to take, and places to visit. And she also organised a wonderful birthday dinner on our last day in Namibia. I cannot recommend more her travel agency if you are a traveller who wants to visit Namibia at his/her own pace.

Very efficient in helping us schedule our adventure
African welcome Safari was very helpful in scheduling our adventure. They took into consideration all our requests as well as adding other recommendations. They helped us with our adventure in Cape Town, the Garden Route, wine lands, and a beautiful safari. Very responsive in their replies to us. The scheduled accommodations and transfers all went very smoothly.

Extremely competent and friendly team that go out of their way to provide the best experience
Our trip in Botswana would not have been the same without the incredible service that Lucky and TT provided us. We were self-driving, and initially had only booked guiding services for the first few days of our trip. However, we decided to prolong and rebook our guide TT for the remainder of the trip because of how great he was and how rich the experience with him was. After going for an average game drive with a lodge, we realized that we wanted TT back! From helping us with campsite bookings, to spotting the most elusive animals, we felt so well looked after by this team. There is nothing more we could have asked for. TT's knowledge and life experience in the region is priceless, as is his sense of humor and caring nature. The team was extremely easy to communicate with before the trip, and made sure everyone was on the same page and everything was accounted for. We were sad to leave Botswana, but even sadder to leave our new friends! You will not regret hiring this team for your safari.

Excellent, well organised and professional of guiding.
Amazing safari, many animals and interesting plants were shown. I learned a lot about biology and life of Massai Mara animals. Everything was prefect. We spent three beautiful days on safari enjoying the good food and nice accommodation.

Calm, decisive, leader, real overlander.
The tour is in a beautiful area of the Kruger Park. It will improve, deeper into the rain season. Touring next to the river, is a privilege.
I prefer "wild camping" and it is exactly that. Making camp and breaking up again is part of the experience and relaxing.
Planning your own menu and food, is part of the challenge.
We did not persè saw many animals, but is part of the risk, like going fishing. Next time you may be lucky.
I will definitely try another similar tour. We had an excellent tour guide and it makes the experience even more memorable.
Thank you, Johan, for a well planned tour, staying close to us and be one of us.
