I’m back from safari and really enjoyed the trip. The Dian Fossey 40th Anniversary day turned out to be really special. That new Virunga Lodge is amazing...the most stunning scenic vistas I’ve seen anywhere.
John (Albany, United States)

Very well organised and a super experience. The Malawi tour was hassle free and everything was taken care of. We will definitely recommend Baobab to all our friends look forward to travelling on many more of your expeditions.
Janet & Alfred (London, United Kingdom)

I've just returned for a quick trip to the Alps. I love Baobab Expeditions' concept...
Claire (Boulder, United States)

The suggested itinerary was excellent, the lodges and transport first class, and all the arrangements worked smoothly and to plan. We really can’t think of any way it could have been improved. The combination of Namibia and Botswana was brilliant.
Peter & Barbara (Rome, Italy)

I got some terrific photos of the gorillas, and it was a wonderful experience to see them in their natural setting. I would like to congratulate Baobab on the information provided for the gorilla expeditions - it is complete and informative, not something that can be said for every travel organisation!
Derrin (Richmond Hill, Australia)

The safari was fantastic!
Tracey & Greg (Cairo, Egypt)

From the moment the gleaming black 4x4 pulled up outside the airport, and the representative hoisted our ski bags into the boot, it was clear that this was going to be a slightly different ski outing from the usual. Ski trips usually run to a simple format: plane – coach – resort - chalet/hotel. Settle, have a beer. Throw in a bit of skiing, and that’s the week sorted. But sometimes this isn’t enough. Ski holidays should be about adventure, new experiences, and Baobab is bringing something new to the party.
Ben (London, United Kingdom)

Your guide was the most perfect guide. He was not only a perfect driver, but he also explained everything to me about wildlife, plants and birds. He has an extraordinary knowledge of wildlife, Bushmen and everything about Namibia. I will never forget my experience with the cheetahs. I touched a cheetah and this was my life's dream come true! Okonjima is an outstanding place to stay, the most perfect and wonderful lodge. The safari was the most wonderful, perfect and outstanding trip I ever did. Thank you Baobab - great work, great ideas. Still dreaming every night of cheetahs!
Marietta (Düsseldorf, Germany)

My husband and I have enjoyed a couple of fantastic holidays in different parts of the world, but this South African expedition certainly ranks among the best. Thanks for your help and patience in organising it.
Rainer & Angela (Zürich, Switzerland)

I had a fabulous time!! Except for the one canceled flight, everything went beautifully. Thanks for the help in planning this incredible trip. Truly a wonderful time.
Douglas (Nashville, United States)

We are finally back from Kenya, and I just wanted to write to let you know that we had a wonderful time. Everything turned out much better than we had expected. We were really lucky with our guide too. He was fantastic and really knew how to explain things and find all the animals. I would try to use him more often as I am sure that your future clients would also agree with us. The rest of the places were fantastic. The service was great and the people really friendly. We will definitely recommend Baobab to other people and in the future use you again on our next trip to Africa.
Carolyn, Fernando & Alex (Madrid, Spain)

Thank you for booking my trip to Africa - the Gorilla Safari was amazing!
Holly (London, United Kingdom)

We were fully satisfied and were very lucky and saw everything one could see. The guide, driver, vehicle and organisation was good. We all would like to thank you and we would gladly book another holiday with you in future.
Hüseyin (Istanbul, Turkey)

I had a great time in Switzerland hangin' with y'all, look forward to hiting the slopes with you in the near future. Nice job organizing the trip Baobab it was very cool.
Eric (North Bennington, United States)

We really enjoyed our trip. We had a great guide. He was very knowledgeable, saw to our every need, and had a great personality. He went out of his way on numerous occasions to ensure we got what we desired from the trip. I highly recommend him as a guide. The Lodges were very nice and all three had gorgeous locations and excellent staff. The gorilla trekking was the highlight of the trip. A real adventure, climbing through the dense rainforest in the mist. It was fun and memorable, we got so close to the gorillas it was amazing. Thanks again for your help in putting the trip together.
Jim & Paula (Düsseldorf, Germany)

I want to thank you for a fantastic trip! Really a memorable experience and you and your team were are a large part of it.
Rick (Los Angeles, United States)

The Namibia safari was really good! The guide was perfect, the places, lodges, food and all very good. Congratulations to all, especially your guide.
Víctor & Esteban (Barcelona, Spain)

Arriving at Zurich Airport, I felt a bit like a pop star. Having grabbed my luggage and trudged through customs, I was met by my driver, Antonio, who eased my bags from my hands and whisked me off to a waiting car. I sat back, stretched out and settled in for the ride to St Moritz: the first and finest stop on a four-day whirlwind tour of three of Europe's coolest ski resorts. Why limit your ski holiday to one resort - or indeed country - when you can "do" three?
Matt (London, United Kingdom)

The trip was fantastic. I will be writing up a trip report to post on a travel board and I will send you an email with the report.
Rod (San Francisco, United States)

We felt privileged to have experienced a taste for the beauty of Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya especially all the wildlife and colourful sights in the villages and towns. Can't believe we saw and did so much in so short a time! Sharing the Dian Fossey 40th Anniversary celebrations on location was special and your guide certainly contributed to the success of the trip.
Ross & Ros (Broulee, Australia)

We had a wonderful time in Tanzania. Charles loved Gombe! We were very lucky as we got to see lots of chimpanzees! The tented camp was great and we had an excellent & charming guide. The chef prepared truly delicious meals and every one went out of their way for us. Charles was over the moon to have eight people to play and make camp fires with! The staff at the camp were the best we had throughout the whole trip. Charles came back home radiant and full of confidence. Thank you for organising this unforgettable trip!
Gina & Charles (Brussels, Belgium)

It was brilliant!
Lauran & Tim (Godalming, United Kingdom)

Our guide was just super. He was a great driver and really well versed in his fauna and birds. A great spotter and a very nice person, most accommodating and flexible and fun too. Never had better! Virunga Lodge was best yet. What a location! We enjoyed the dancing by the villagers on the hilltop on our arrival and loved our rooms and their verandahs and views. Our trek at Bwindi was a wonderful experience. The juvenile gorillas really wanted to play and were even more determined to touch us! It was amazing. We could never have imagined how it would be! We'll certainly recommend Baobab. We have wonderful memories of a super trip!
Jill & Peter (Wilsonville, United States)

Thanks so much for arranging our Safari expedition. We had a fantastic time. 
Louise & Brian (Toronto, Canada)

A great trip and thanks for the organisation. Comments re the holiday:
Pluses:
+ Canada, great people and a great place
+ the trip organisation, the limo pick up, the hotels etc
+ Whistler, great town, good skiing, great ski school
Peter (Helensburgh, United Kingdom)

The whole trip was a success. We enjoyed the gorilla tracking, especially the family in the Bwindi Impenetrable forest. We also liked the golden monkeys: they are a good alternative to tracking the gorillas and they are very different. The staff in the camps were excellent. We liked our stay in the eco lodges as we could minimize the impact of our stay. And our driver was really good. We really enjoyed this vacation.
Mathilde (Den Haag, Holland)

The highlight of the safari was definitely seeing the sand dunes of Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert, what an experience! Baobab’s attention to detail was outstanding. We will definitely travel with you again.
Sarah & John (Barcelona, Spain)

The trip was terrific!
Timothy (Encinitas, United States)

Four days in three ski resorts in three countries, travelling in supreme comfort. It gets my seal of approval. Yes sireeee.
Henry (London, United Kingdom)
