Ultimate Africa Safaris

In October of 2019, my wife and I did a two week trip in Tanzania, entirely organized by Ultimate Africa Safaris. In my review of that trip, I said I can't wait to go again.

And so we went in September 2021, again on a trip entirely organized by Ultimate Africa. This time it was primarily to Botswana, with 9 days in three camps, with extensions to Victoria Falls and Lusaka.

Again, Ultimate Africa did a great job. Once we jumped the COVID testing hurdle and were in Botswana life was simple and fun. Great game guides great day and night game drives, great food, great nature, great camp atmospheres, and my personal favorite - great outdoor showers.

If you can do a safari planned by Ultimate Africa, do it. You will have a great time that you remember forever. We will soon follow that advice and plan another trip.

You definitely get what you pay for. If you're looking for a cheap trip to Africa with a bunch of strangers in a crowed bus going to mediocre safari camps, then this is not who you want to talk to. If you're looking for white glove service for an individual trip of a lifetime, than Ian and Lorna will hook you up. We just came back from Kenya and Tanzania. We did not stay in 5++ star camps but we were pretty close! This is the BEST time to travel to Africa because there are no crowds thanks to COVID. We were met from the moment we landed and guided to every airport and transfer we had to make. Our safari experience was second to none. Ian and Lorna answered EVERY question personally. We had zero issues as it pertains to getting COVID testing throughout our trip so border crossings and return flight home was a breeze. I can't say enough about this company and we can't wait to book our next trip with them. They may cost a little more but I promise you - it is worth every penny.

My fiancé and I booked a 3 week trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe through Ian and the Ultimate African Safaris team. They did a fantastic job!!!!! We absolutely loved our entire trip. All the camps they picked were great. We were so impressed with how smooth all the logistics went, it was perfect! We fell in love with Africa and definitely will be back, and will go through this company again!

I really can't say enough good things about Ultimate Africa Safaris. We made a two week trip to South Africa & Zimbabwe in Sept.19. I did a lot of research before I went and they beat everyone's price, which can leave you some doubt about the quality of the trip you are going to get. This trip was first class , well organized and went without a glitch. The staff at all the camps and Hotels was first class all the way. Ultimate Africa Safaris were always super fast responding to all emails to answer all questions and concerns. If you are looking to go to Africa, don't wastes tons of time, check out Ultimate Africa Safaris.

Ultimate Africa Safaris is the best! Just finished my second trip with them. I researched many options before my first journey but there was no doubt about my choice the next time around. I loved their flexibility, patience and sense of humor. Our adventure was all we hoped for and more. And it is clear from dealing with them that they love Africa too and relish the opportunity to share it with others.

I can't wait to go back and keep exploring. Thank you Lorna and Ian. You are amazingly amazing.
