Exemplary experience with Vaya!
Working with Heather and other staff at Vaya Adventures while planning our African safari adventure was a pleasure. Communication was always prompt and cheerful, and they were truly invested in ensuring that all of our needs and preferences were satisfied. They managed to engineer a logistically complicated itinerary (7 air transfers + 3 helicopter tours, 2 bush camps + 1 lodge), and thanks to their meticulous planning, along with trusted and reliable partners within Africa, everything went off without a single hitch. Keep in mind that when you’re making a connection in the middle of the African bush, in other words “nowhere”, if a bush plane doesn’t show up, what do you do??? Didn’t happen to us! Vaya’s online personal travel portal made it easy and convenient to access all trip details anytime, as well as helpful information related to travel within Africa. The bush camps/lodge we stayed at were fantastic, camp staff and especially private game guides were exemplary, and the meals were varied and mostly excellent. Overall, we paid premium $$$ for a premium safari experience, and it was worth every penny for this trip of a lifetime. Thank you, Vaya, for helping to make our exciting adventure remarkable and truly unforgettable!!! We will not hesitate to recommend Vaya to friends & family for future travel, and are definitely considering them for the next big trip.
