My trip to Africa was unforgettable and I am hooked so-to speak! I am sure I will be back. Traveling with Diane was a pleasure and I am sure we will repeat the experience, although I am not sure I will do it as often as she does!!! Now I know what I would prefer in the future: smaller camps and camps that allow not more than three jeeps at the site. Out of four sites, I like three the most and Selinda Camp was the very best. I was not particularly taken by the Machaba Camp; although we saw a lot of animals, we often had up to 9-11 jeeps at the site. In any case, it was not bad but in comparison, three others and especially Selinda were super. I 've heard that Selinda will be closed soon and they will install two or three villas there.... It is beyond me, why people need villas in the bush! What is the point to go to safari!! Whatever... people are different.

Great help and support. They made this easy for us. I appreciate the follow up before, during and after our trip. Answered all our questions. Thanks for the great work from Faith and Donna.

We used Opulent Africa as our booking agent to three different tented camps in Tanzania, Africa. Everything went off without a hitch and we were very satisfied with all the arrangements John the owner and his staff made for us. The camps were outstanding, the drivers were knowledgeable and personable. The food was excellent throughout the trip. There were no problems with check ins or pickups during the trip. This was especially satisfying because it involved being picked up at the airport. Transported to a hotel. Transported to three different camps. Flown to the Northern Serengeti and flown back again on bush planes. By the time we were done we had traveled almost 2000km and no problems. Everything was on time and no problems with reservations at all.

Our safari was fabulous thanks to Opulent Africa. The accommodations were excellent as was the itinerary. Each place we stayed was different and we were there for exactly the right amount of time. The food and service was also excellent. The staff was exceptionally friendly and anxious to please and went out of the way to celebrate an anniversary and a birthday with special attention. Our entire family of 20 ranging in ages from 5 to 72 said this was the best trip ever. The perfect way to celebrate a 50th Anniversary.

This travel agency was great in terms of being helpful and responsive to our needs. They were always available and researched any topic they did not know about. The only issue encountered was the quality of our hotel in Kagali. It was not the same quality as the others and felt that they should have made a different choice. Although our accommodations in Rwanda with the gorillas we fine, it would have been nice to have been give more information about the facility and a choice of where to stay. These were minor issues and did not take away from our trip. They were wonderful to work with and had expertise in the locations we visited. I would not hesitate to use them again.

It was a well organized trip with a terrific guide, Francois - highly recommend

Excellent service throughout whilst we planned a self-drive, small lodge/camp trip in Namibia. Always helpful and supportive. Every arrangement worked re car hire, accommodation, flights, transfer to Victoria Falls and a fabulous 4 days in Hoanib Camp. Faith's enthusiasm was infectious. Every aspect of our much dreamed of trip exceeded expectation and we loved every single moment of our month in a truly exceptional country. Thank you to the Opulent team for making a dream come true.

SAFARI AT ITS BEST I have to say that the two properties that we stayed in were fantastic. Ngala Tented camp is a very luxurious 9 room hotel right in the middle of the action. We ven had a lion kill a Nyala outside our tent at night. I consider this property a hidden gem and I hope it stays that way. Ulusaba is located in the Sabe Sand Reserve so the sitings were completely different that at Ngala. It was very nice to have such a different experience. We loved the bonfire party, dinner in the wine cellar and the observatory. The hotel itself has the amenities of a larger lodge but with the convenience of just a few guests. Congratulations to Sir Richard Branson for this beautiful property. Service at both lodges was just incredible.
