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)
