Antoinette at Explorations Africa was just the expert we needed to put this “Once in a Lifetime” trip together for us. There were many moving pieces and we demanded She is amazing! She kept abreast of our every move and the “very few” last minute changes to our itinerary; because of scheduling issues; were resolved immediately!
Thank you Antoinette for organizing our unforgettable African experience.

Antoinette, thank you for creating a perfect trip for us. You were always available, had helpful advice and gave suggestions that made the trip a stress-free and enjoyable adventure. We had a short time to go a long way, but the itinerary you suggested made the most of the time we had. Your recommendations of how to spend the available time we had were right on. We loved our time in Cape Town and the Peninsula and Hermanus.

As for the safari camps, Linkwasha Camp in Zimbabwe exceeded all expectations. The elegance and sophistication of this camp, exceptional food, and luxurious accommodations were superb. We were prepared for the excellent guides and of course the animals, but the overall quality of the camp was unforgettable. Chobe in Botswana was also very fine - we enjoyed the abundance of animals, and we appreciated that the landscape was completely different from the previous camp. It was good to have two markedly different camp experiences.

The many bush plane flights were well organized; all the flights were enhanced by the meet-and-greet services which made the many transfers easy to navigate. Overall, this was a 10/10 trip for us.

Antoinette from Explorations Africa planned and orchestrated an amazing, unforgettable bucket list vacation in Africa for us! The camps she selected all provided a different experience with a variety of environments, animals and cultures. We travelled to remote camps which were not overpopulated with tourists. They were all very welcoming, safe and very comfortable. The hospitality could not be matched and the staff, friendly and accommodating. The meals offered variety, were delicious and were carefully prepared by professional chefs. From the moment we landed, drivers were waiting for us, delivering us to the next point, often stopping for photo ops when animals were spotted. There had to be a lot of planning and confirming going on behind the scenes. All transfers were executed with precision without us having to worry about a thing. The guides were experienced, knowledgeable, very professional and had great respect for wildlife.
We saw a great variety of animals, taking our breath away at every turn! We were left with jaw-dropping amazement and pinch-me moments. The guides seemed to know how close they could get without scaring the animals away. They often positioned the vehicle with best light in mind for photography. Many of our photos have more than one species in one frame.
We spent a few days in Victoria Falls. The falls did not disappoint and the accommodations were outstanding! We also visited a few villages where we learned more about the local culture. We met with the Headman at one village who showed us around and enlightened us about the social challenges of the area and how some of the safari companies help the locals through tourism and education. These visits were life changing for us!
Thank you Antoinette for delivering an unforgettable trip of a lifetime! This trip certainly exceeded all our expectations!
You can leave Africa, but Africa doesn’t leave you!
