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.

Susan KlauderTrip of a lifetime

We purchased this trip pre COVID and they were very accommodating to postpone our original date. Gaynor was very communicative and helped to plan a very memorial trip. Everything felt very first class. The tour guides were excellent , knowledgeable and friendly, wanting to make sure we had a great experience. The accommodations were first rate and beautiful.

Karen J.What a fantastic trip!

Gaynor provided excellent service as well as other members of the Premier Africa team. Even with both flight and Covid issues, we were able to do everything as was outlined in our itineraries. They went over and above my expectations for making this such a special trip.

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. We have been on many group trips and this one by far was the most well organized and well planned out that we have ever been on. They thought of everything and then some. I would recommend Premier Africa without hesitation to anyone wanting to have a spectacular one-of-a-kind experience in South Africa.

Roxanne BladeThis was by far the best trip we have ever taken in our lives

The places we went to, the people we met and the experiences we had were unbelievable and amazing. The Covid restrictions created additional hurdles but the hosts - Matthew & Andrew were able to navigate us through the process with ease. Traveling during these trying times can be overwhelming but with these hosts the process was as easy as it could be. I would highly recommend traveling with Premier Africa - they did it right!!!
