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 have recommended Premier Africa to many friends already and am anxiously awaiting my next excursion with them.”
