Thanks to the travel team at Opulent Africa for organizing an absolutely amazing African safari trip for our family. My husband and I traveled to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana with our kids, ages 20 and 22. The camps we visited were unique and beautiful and the staff members were very friendly and knowledgeable. Our itinerary was perfect for the experience we were seeking, and transportation to and from each country and camp was flawless. We not only saw Africa's "Big Five," we learned so many valuable life lessons from observing, listening and interacting with the animals and engaging with the fascinating people at each camp. Two of our favorite safari guides, Estiaan and Aaron, will likely never forget us because of all of the questions we asked! Africa is a beautiful and unforgettable place, and our family made memories that will forever remain close to our hearts. We hope to return in the future!

Wow! My safari was a peak experience. 15 days in 5 camps in Botswana and everything flowed beautifully. I can’t thank John and the ladies enough for going that extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. And, I can’t wait to plan next year’s trip.

We have used Opulent Africa since 2010 and have not had any sort of problem actually exactly the opposite. They are totally professional and think of the client in every which way. We do at least 1 safari to Africa every year and recently twice a year and John Harvey has been more than helpful and appreciative in our favour! I have a breathing problem and the thoughtfulness that is put into arranging where we stay - ie not steps or hills to climb - is amazing. I certainly would not hesitate to recommend Opulent to anyone and certainly do whilst on safari. I would also mention the friendly and efficient personnel he has working at Opulent.

Opulent Africa organized a one-week safari in Tanzania for our family of four. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is interested in this type of trip. Donna was our reservation agent, and she worked tirelessly and patiently with me to design a trip that would delight all members of my family. We actually organized and discarded two complete itineraries before coming up with the perfect plan on our third try. (I wouldn't recommend this, but Donna never flinched!) Our guide David was extremely professional, kind, and attentive. We especially appreciated his knowledge and respect for the wildlife and his careful driving. David has a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and about the history and culture of Tanzania that added invaluable context to our experience. David worked hard to make sure we saw the animals we were most interested in. He really went the extra mile to make our safari unforgettable. The hotels and lodges that Opulent Africa booked for us were wonderful. Each property was unique, but the brilliant constant among the all was a friendly, kind and attentive staff. The lodge in the Serengeti even baked a beautiful birthday cake and hosted an impromptu celebration of our daughter's 23rd birthday! If you can book a trip to Tanzania with Opulent Africa, do it.

Following previous trips to Africa and Vietnam, this was our 3rd holiday arranged via Opulent Africa. Again, the level of service and knowledge from destination selection, to hotel / room choice and activities was excellent. The knowledge and insight is informed by John, his very capable team and their network of contacts who have experienced the recommend locations, camps and activities first hand. Another truly special holiday. Thanks again to John and Faith. We'll be in touch again soon! R&J

Professional, pleasant, efficient, extremely knowledgeable and very organized. Responsive immediately with all questions and issues. I have been to Africa and on several safaris so the experience was not new to me. But going during the end of year holiday season along with summer demand made arrangements more complex. All was handled with aplomb, deep expertise re the regions we were visiting.. and done with good humor. My partner and I are both just home from our 5 week South Africa visit and reflecting on the excellent planning done by John and Faith to make this trip most memorable. Thank you! We are already dreaming of our next African adventure and will certainly use Opulent Africa again.

The company were very helpful at all stages particularly when we had to change hotels at the last minute due to the forthcoming Elections.

This was an excellent, magical and unforgettable holiday with the family. Our six nights away, in three different venue's and severn flights was seamless. Throughout the planning process, we were given excellent advice and recommendations that resulted in a holiday of a life time!
