Africa Endeavors planned the trip of the lifetime for me. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect way to explore South Africa. This was my second time working with Ellen and she made the experience fun, easy, and a dream come true. Even when plans changed at the last minute, Ellen worked with the team to accommodate me and take away my worries. She worked with me each and every step of the planning and made sure I knew all the details thoroughly before embarking on the trip. The hotels we stayed at were clean, safe, beautiful, and convenient. Everything we wanted to do, we got done and within our budget. It was exactly what I hoped for and more! I have the most amazing memories (and pictures) of our trip. I'm so thankful for Ellen and her team for making this experience one that I will never forget. Thank you so much!

Amazing experience with every detail taken care of!

Had to write a review after my experience. In short, they kept trying to arrange trips that were overpriced by thousands of dollars. I could book the same hotels on basic booking sites for way way less. They also kept suggesting extremely over-the-top hotels when I specfically said I was looking for low key, boutique-style places. I offered up specific examples and they still would say I'm better off at the most expensive places. When I asked why their price quote was $4,000 more than if I booked it myself, they asked for a list of prices I found. I gave them the prices then they said that they can't comment because they offer package deals. I paid them $250 to book my vacation and I booked 100% of my flights, hotels, etc and didn't book a single hotel on their recommendation list. Worked with Katie, who was super nice, but you'd be better off lighting $250 on fire then going on Agoda to book hotels.

Greatest trip ever and Candice was wonderful

The Africa Endeavours Team planned 2 trips for me and my family over the past year and both trips were outstanding down to the most minute detail; including a French tour guide for non-english speaking family, a surprise sommelier tour guide for my husband, and shark diving for my daughters. The accommodations and service were suburb. The game drives were beyond what I imagined, delivering on the BIG 5 and more. They take care of all the planning in advance, such as tipping, travel transfers, and making sure chefs are aware of food allergies, so all we had to do was show up and enjoy our trip. They do their homework, making sure they hit everything on your wish list, and sincerely want you to have an amazing experience. I am so impressed with their professionalism, commitment to detail, as well as high level looking and understanding of what it takes to create a travel experience of a life time, that I am using them again to plan a trip that I will offer through my business. If you want the trip of your dreams, where you can relax, and trust that all your needs will be met, then definitely work with Africa Endeavours, your future self will thank you!

Having "won" a week at the Zulu Nyala Game Lodge at a charity auction event, we asked Africa Endeavors (Shannon Bradley) to develop an extended vacation in Africa for us, recognizing that my wife and I are of the "older generation." Shannon scheduled a wonderful and very educational day tour of Soweto and the Johannesburg Apartheid Museum for our layover in that city - it was a remarkable day, with a personal driver and guide. After Zulu Nyala, we flew to Zimbabwe for a visit to Victoria Falls - beautiful hotel (Ilala Lodge), personal tour of the falls, exciting helo ride, river cruise and wonderful memories. We then flew to Nairobi and visited the incredible Giraffe Manor .... the experience of a lifetime. After the Manor, we flew (small plane) to the Maasai Mara north area and the Karen Blixen Camp. Wonderful and knowledgeable guide (Peter) took us on "safari" daily at 0630 and 1600, with a late night trip during a thunderstorm when we viewed herds of wildebeests and zebra running across the plain within 20 -30 feet of our Land Rover. Spotting the Big Five during the week was no problem ...... even for the elusive leopard. An absolutely incredible trip set up by Shannon!

This was the very best vacation that my wife and I have ever taken. We are in our mid 60’s and have been to many wonderful places. However, we have repeatedly discussed how this trip was the vacation of our dreams. South Africa is a fantastic place and the team at Africa Endeavors couldn’t have done a better job in planning out all of our details.

Candice and her team put together the trip of a lifetime for us. She did the same when we went to Australia and New Zealand so using her again was a no brainer. A++++ experience
