A great safari experience from initial planning to final voyage! Karen and the Deeper Africa team turned our vague wish list of destinations into a detailed itinerary in Botswana and Zimbabwe. They found a way to incorporate the more "off the beaten track" destination on our wish list, Great Zimbabwe, by adding a stopover in Matobo Hills, which I didn't even know I wanted to see until they suggested it. Another operator told me not to even bother with Great Zimbabwe but Deeper Africa made it work. Everything had to be rescheduled twice due to COVID, but Deeper Africa handled everything seamlessly, including adapting the itinerary to deal with local COVID testing requirements. I highly recommend them.

Traveling to Africa is the trip of a lifetime and most people will say they had a fantastic experience there. However, planning a trip of this magnitude, especially during COVID, is a huge undertaking. Having Deeper Africa organize and manage this trip for us was absolutely fabulous! They made arrangements for every detail and made sure that we were completely taken care of during every portion of our trip. All of our accommodations were wonderful and our guide was exceptional! Without hesitation, I would absolutely recommend Deeper Africa to arrange your trip to Africa!

Fantastic trip. Excellent, thorough planning, professional and knowledgeable guide, and perfect camps for our group.

Deeper Africa provided us with professionalism, expert advice and we felt totally cared for throughout our journey. They assisted in helping us choose the right places for us to visit that met all our expectations. Every step of our travel was seamless. Thank you to Karen and all the Deeper Africa staff!

This was an absolutely wonderful trip. I have taken many trips over the years with numerous outfitters and this was among the best. They spent a lot of time talking with us and then putting together a personalized trip. Our guide, John Mndolwa, was fabulous -- great spotter, extremely knowledgeable about birds, animals, landscape, and a lot of fun to be with. Several people we met remarked what a great guide he was when they heard about our unique adventures. I did a lot of research before selecting Deeper Africa, and I am quite confident I made the right choice.

We had a wonderful experience with Karen and Deeper Africa. Their attention to detail was perfect and she put her heart into planning the perfect trip for our family. Karen also met with us and (separately) with our kids to educate us about the trip. She helped us pull off a fun and exciting trip for a group age 10 to age 82! And did it during COVID. Our guides were warm, well educated and fun. 10/10 I would recommend Deeper Africa.

This was my second safari with Deeper Africa, and there’s sincerely no other company I would trust to plan my African adventure. Karen and the Deeper Africa team worked diligently to completely customize a trip that would surpass every expectation, and truly outdid themselves (to say the least!). The camps, the wildlife viewings, the VIP treatment, the surprises–all more special than we ever could've dreamed of. And above all, it was the people that we met that made the trip as meaningful as it was. It was genuinely the trip of a lifetime, and we are forever indebted to Deeper Africa for the unforgettable memories.

Excellent adventures with Deeper Africa! We booked a several week adventure through South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana through the wonderful folks at DA. The trip was actually supposed to be summer 2020 - but the world shut down... DA helped us roll through the punches and rescheduled everything for summer 2021. Even up to the very last minute Karen was juggling the crazy rules and restrictions due to covid-- and somehow managed to make a trip for 8 with ages from 10 to 82 successful. Great choices of safari camps, guides, trackers -- everything. It was especially good how much time they spent with the two little ones that went with us. They talked about how to behave, what to do and not do, etc. all in a child friendly manner. If I ever have the opportunity to go back, I wouldn't hesitate to go with DA. Of course it sounds like everything was red-carpet and champagne -- it wasn't... The weather got cold on us (we went in Africa winter and didn't expect that polar vortex to hit South Africa!), some of the camps were a little under prepared (because we were the first guests in MONTHS due to covid), and South Africa and Botswana 100% shut down alcohol sales and service (which makes sundowners for those who imbibe a little less special). But ABSOLUTELY nothing that was under DA's purview was rough around the edges. Bravo!
