We had the most incredible honeymoon (Safari, Cape Town, and Franschhoek) thanks to the team at Opulent Africa. We left right after our wedding, so we had no time to really think about the details of the trip, but we didn’t have to! Everything was planned so perfectly from the lodging, to the transfers, several flights, and recommendations. The itinerary explained everything in the perfect amount of detail! The whole trip was flawless!! We couldn’t have done it without John, Amanda, and the rest of the team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! -The Feeneys.

My recent African Safari adventure, meticulously orchestrated by Opulent Africa under the unwavering guidance of John, was nothing short of a transformative journey through the heart and soul of this incredible continent. From the moment we touched down in Nairobi on August 22nd to our reluctant departure from Cape Town on September 12th, every day was an awe-inspiring revelation woven with thoughtfulness and precision. John, recognizing our craving for an unparalleled experiences, single-handedly crafted an itinerary that exceeded all expectations. His intuitive understanding of our desires was evident in every carefully chosen detail, leaving me, a self-confessed perfectionist and often times extremely OCD in nature, in awe of the premium attention to detail. The surprises at each accommodation were like sprinkles on an already delectable dessert, enhancing the depth of each outing. Navigating through this captivating landscape was made seamless and stress-free through a user-friendly travel app, a true lifesaver that allowed us to relish every moment without fretting and stressing about logistics. In one 24 hour period we were on 4 planes, so you can only imagine how important “stress free” means. The private drivers who escorted us from one enchanting destination to another added personality and many laughs along the way. As we traversed from place to place, we were enveloped in an aura of joy and profound happiness, manifesting in tears of elation and emotional overflow each day. (Finding words to describe the emotion is still difficult to properly express) The people we encountered, the majestic animals we observed, and the vastness of the Mara Triangle, the mountain gorillas and the bush of Kenya, left me utterly speechless, forging an emotional connection that defies words. A particular highlight of this remarkable journey was the time spent with the people of the Samburu Tribe, the hosts and guides at Sarara Camp, where their genuine warmth and hospitality left an indelible mark on my heart. The Ngare Serian Game Drivers and Guides heightened our experience, imparting a wealth of knowledge and making each safari adventure unforgettable. The Zimbabwe Zambezi River Lodge, Cape Town's Silo Hotel, and the two incredible days spent trekking gorillas in Uganda's Bwindi were nothing short of extraordinary. This voyage was a life-altering odyssey that has left an indelible imprint on all 4 of us. The memories of the countries we explored will forever be etched in my thoughts, a kaleidoscope of vibrant and unforgettable moments. For orchestrating the best 22 days of my existence, I extend my deepest gratitude to John and his remarkable team at Opulent Africa. I struggle to articulate just how much this journey has meant to me. Thank you, John, for being the person behind this most meaningful trip.

WOW! Amazing 2-week honeymoon in South Africa, thank you to Jill, Amanda, and John for making every aspect of our honeymoon seamless. We felt so cared for and safe the whole trip. The team is incredibly personable and took the time to curate a trip that catered to what we wanted. The accommodations were absolutely amazing. This team knows what they're doing! We cannot wait to use them again in the future and I've already recommended them to friends and family.

We absolutely loved our trip to Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania...from the gorillas to the chimps and everything in-between! Our guides were so personable, knowledgeable, and such good wildlife finders. All of our lodges were charming with such hospitable staff. The Gorilla Safari Company/Opulent Africa customized our trip to pack it full of wildlife for us. They know and love Africa and care so much about what they do. My husband and I were able to travel with my sister and her husband, and we have memories to last a lifetime. Thank you John, Amanda, and Jill!

Opulent Africa made our 2 week honeymoon in South Africa the trip of our lifetime. It was truly an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The team at Opulent Africa really nailed what we were looking for, were so accommodating and flexible in making adjustments to our schedule, and incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Opulent Africa was worth every penny. We would never have been able to plan what they planned for us. We felt really taken care of the entire time. We will absolutely use Opulent Africa for any future trips to Africa!

My wife and I worked with Opulent Africa (specifically with Amanda and John) to help us plan our honeymoon. Our bucketlist items were to do a safari trip and see the gorillas. They made an entire itinerary for us with every day meticulously planned out. We are so happy with the entire experience that was set up for us. Amanda did an amazing job creating an itinerary that made it effortless on our end and she was always ready to answer all our questions for us. From the outset, we were met with the VIP treatment from the moment we landed in Rwanda, and met our amazing guide, Mugabe, who took care of us every single step of the way. He did an amazing job and was such a genuinely kind person. Seeing the gorillas and being so close to them was a life changing experience. After that we flew out to Tanzania and had an amazing safari in Ngorongoro. They set us up with the Nyikani Ndutu camp that was centered right in the middle of the great migration and every day was an adventure with an incredible staff of people making us feel like family. I cannot recommend Opulent Africa enough. They made our honeymoon unforgettable!

This was our fifth time to visit Africa. All our journeys have been arranged by Opulent Africa. John and Amanda will give you the trip of a lifetime. Really, do you use a service five tines if you are not completely satisfied? I admit to a bit of trepidation because if the Covid closures. This trip had been planned for 2020, and I wondered about the infrastructure in Africa. All was exactly the sane as in 2019. Their ground agents, New Frontiers, Ilios, Wilderness Air, Safari Air, etc. were exactly as before. Quick, efficient, and on time. We visited four countries thus trip, had numerous light aircraft flights as well as the regional flights on Airlink. No problems. If you desire a second class journey, book elsewhere. However, if you want first class service and an unforgettable experience, your only choice is Opulent Africa. We were gone for a month and the time just flew by each day.
