Africa Private Safaris - Langestraat 25-E

Africa Private Safaris organized a great self-drive tour in Namibia for us. Everything was well organized in detail. The small lodges with outstanding service as well as the locations were breathtakingly beautiful. The cooperation with Monic to come to a tour with a personal touch, went very smoothly. In addition to expert advice, there is enough room for personal input. This beautiful country lends itself to self-drive from lodge to lodge, which adds to the adventurous character. Earlier we already enjoyed an amazing luxury fly-in safari in Kenya with Africa Private Safaris. Both trips left a deep impression and a great memory. As an avid world traveler, I dare say that she is one of the best in this area. Met Africa Private Safaris een geweldige self drive rondreis in Namibie samengesteld. Alles tot in de puntjes geregeld. De lodges waren kleinschalig en adembenemend mooi in dit schitterende land. De samenwerking met Monic om tot een rondreis met persoonlijk tintje te komen, verliep zeer soepel. Naast vakkundig advies is er genoeg ruimte voor eigen inbreng. Dit schitterende land leent zich bij uitstek om zelf te rijden van lodge naar lodge wat extra bijdraagt aan het avontuurlijk karakter. Eerder maakten we al een prachtige luxe fly-in safari in Kenia met Africa Private Safaris. Beide reizen hebben een diepe indruk en een geweldige herinnering achtergelaten. Als fervent wereldreiziger durf ik te zeggen dat ze een van de besten is op dit gebied.

Monic is in one word a super organizer. She collected our wishes, made several proposals based on rich experience and consulted us for our trip. Even when the trip started she was available for questions. She gave us a safari we will never forget.

Monic organized us a great safari/beach holiday in Kenya, Summer 2017. With our family (2 adults, 2 kids, 13 and 16) we visited Samburu, North Conservancy Masai Mara and the coast South of Diani. Monic suggested us to choose for the Saruni camps Samburu and Wild and for The Ocean Spa. These turned out to be very good choices. We all were excited about the accommodations, their staff (incredible people) and of course the nature and game. We were happy to meet Monic at Samburu and were impressed by her stories and work on conservation issues in general and on elephant conservation in particular. With full conviction we can recommend Monic and Africa Private Safaris for any safari experience in Africa.

We used Africa Private Safaris twice now and had an amazing experience. Monic was so helpful in finding just the right safari to meet our needs. She found us the traditional classic safari with luxurious tents, open-air vehicles and everything else you would want. A small group safari was what we wanted. The best part it wasn’t over priced like some safaris are. Monic was quick to respond to our emails whenever we had any questions, plus she sent us photos of some of the places we would be visiting. That way we had an idea what our safari might be like. Since she has been in the business for a long time, and has lived in Kenya for a while now, she knows the country very well. It makes it easy for her to piece together a safari to suit your budget, and style. On our first safari we were in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. It was a 10-night safari with another couple. Sadly this couple had no desire to sleep in a tent, so Monic found us places to stay that had that classic safari feel, but not inside a tent. We stayed in five different places on this safari. Monic set up all of our transports for us, and it all worked like clockwork. On the second safari we booked through Monic, we stayed in Kenya for the migration. This safari was also for ten nights, but only three different places. We were a group of five traveling together, and one of the members of our group had just celebrated her eleventh birthday, which she was thrilled with the safari. She couldn’t believe that she could see all the different types of animals that we were able to, plus by being in a smaller sized game vehicle there was no one blocking her view. The experience was just magical. We have been on others safaris before that we booked through a larger, better-known company, and found them to not be as helpful. They just tried to book us into their properties and had no interest in trying to match our trip with what we wanted. I think booking with a smaller company is nice because they tend to put more effort into finding the best trip for you. Monic was suggested to us by two other couples who have used her in the past, so we trusted them that everything would be okay…and it was more than that.
