TimmyThe trip was outstanding in all aspects.

Pre trip planning and communication, itinerary, transfers and logistics, service and help were impeccable. We especially appreciated our host and her dedication to making our trip fun, interesting and effortless. We were always informed of what was happening next. No detail was missed. She had a good team behind her.

Julie HExceeded all expectations!

I really cannot say enough good things about the Premier Africa team any experience in general. The hosts were incredible, knowledgeable and truly lovely people all around. The lengths they went to to ensure that each and every one of us had a unique and wonderful experience was beyond all expectations. I can’t imagine all the behind-the-scenes work that went into making everything flow so smoothly and seamlessly.

Pamela NorleyIf I could give this experience a 10 star, I would.

From the very first introduction at our Club in South Carolina, to the last interaction on our trip with Gaynor, everything was perfect. Far exceeded our expectations both in service, staff, diversity of itinerary, and beauty of the locations.

MauraPremier Africa exceeded our expectations

We had an amazing experience on our recent trip to South Africa. The accommodations, dining and excursions were all first rate. Our guide could not have been more accommodating and handled all of our needs and logistics so that we could relax and fully enjoy our experience in South Africa. I would highly recommend using Premier Africa.

Scott and Vicky WellwoodTrip of a lifetime

The country is absolutely beautiful, but it is impossible to describe the way Premier Africa made a vacation into a once in a lifetime experience. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Cape Town, we were treated like family. From Zackie who is a walking/talking history book of the country to the magnificent Desi who orchestrated literally every element of the trip, their team was amazing. At each destination, we thought; ok, how will they top today? Somehow, they managed to do so.

Mark and KarenPremier Africa is superb!

Their strength is their attention to all of the details to ensure each stop and activity was perfect. Our local guides in South Africa and Victoria Falls were knowledgeable and fun. Every activity, from hiking to golf to wine tasting to safari, was flawlessly executed. We recommend Premier Africa to anyone looking for a golf (plus) adventure, and look forward to our next trip with them!

Jeannette RomeoAn experience beyond my wildest imagination!

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were treated like royalty. Gaynor and her staff took care of every detail to make our vacation the most memorable experience of a life time. I was in awe of the love they have for what they do and their genuine hospitality. The golf, safari, and Victoria Falls experience exceeded my expectations. I have recommended Premier Africa to many friends already and am anxiously awaiting my next excursion with them.

Kelley JohnstonPerfection in every way!

Perfection! Every detail was taken care of. The hosts and guides were absolutely fantastic and very responsive. All of the lodgings were absolutely top notch. We had the trip of a lifetime with Premier Africa and would not hesitate to travel with them again and/or recommend wholeheartedly to others.

Alton DawkinsPremiere Africa trip experience

From the moment we arrived at JNB airport until we departed Premier Africa handled every detail like the true professionals they are. Our experience during the entire trip exceeded our highest expectations. We were expedited through every airport and our bags were taken care of and we didn't have to lift a finger. All accommodations were fantastic in every way. The safari experience was better than we could have imagined. Premier Africa pays special attention to every little detail to make a trip perfect.

Patricia AshbrookThe Best Experience I’ve Ever Had

Amazingly attentive & hospitable staff who go out of their way to ensure everything is to your preference, luxurious accommodations, wonderful meals, great wines, tons of sights to see, but the highlight that made it over the top were the game drives at Lions Sands!! It was over too soon and we definitely want to come back some day! Highly recommend Premier Africa if you want the ultimate African experience!!
