Wow! What a sensational time I had! Thank you for putting together such an interesting trip for me, and a huge thank you for the seamless travelling I had.
I was absolutely dreading getting myself from A to B and was beginning to think up lots of reasons why I couldn’t possibly go, but to my enormous relief the moment I stepped off one plane there was someone to guide me towards the next ! Elephant Watch Camp in Samburu – what a joy! I had a magical time.
Safari to Kenya

Finally I put pen to paper! I just wanted to let you know how delighted we all were with the fabulous safari you organised for us to Tanzania.
Right from the start, you made a good impression with your very informative and well produced itinerary. We were very happy with our charming and knowledgeable guide, Moses, who looked after us so excellently. All the accommodation was fantastic and very comfortable – ‘Out of Africa’ with knobs on! Very best wishes to you all.
Family Safari to Tanzania

This is just a quick note to thank you for all your hard work in arranging what turned out to be a holiday of a lifetime.
The fact that we were made to feel so special on our honeymoon by all the camps that we visited made the experience so much more memorable. Thank you. Namibia is truly a wonderful country with some of the only remaining genuine wilderness in the world. You were so lucky to have lived there. I cannot thank you enough for all your efforts. Elizabeth and I will certainly remember this for the rest of our lives.
Honeymoon to Namibia

Thanks to The Explorations Company, our family trip to East Africa was the trip of a lifetime.
With children ranging in ages, they listened to everyone’s needs and managed to fulfill each of our dreams. I highly recommend The Explorations Company to anyone seeking an outstanding, customized adventure.

Enclosed is a copy of Melanie’s journal from Africa. Although it is a bit long, I thought you might enjoy reading it.
Its just such a perfect description of our trip through the eyes of a 15 year old girl. Thank you for putting this trip together so perfectly for us. As you will read in Melanie’s words, it was the ideal safari for our family.
Family Safari to Tanzania

I am delighted that I stumbled across The Explorations Company at the Scottish Game Fair and that you convinced me you were the right people for organising our honeymoon.
The fact that you were so well informed of the safari experience and the material you sent was so comprehensive, gave me great reassurance that I was putting this very important holiday in the right hands! However high my expectations, they were surpassed by every place we stayed. I very much hope we will be able to explore with you again in the future.
Honeymoon to Botswana

There were so many wonderful moments that we had– I could be here all night writing about them. The coffee stops and sundown drinks were always fun and entertaining – in beautiful places on riverbanks accompanied by hippos snorting or kingfishers at their work. I am sure we will speak soon but in the meantime, we are home safe and it was the best holiday ever!
Family Safari in South Africa

Our trip in Africa was a dream come true. We all fell in love with Africa, needless to say and I have told all my friends to book such a trip with you soon.
We loved all the lodges. I could not say which one was the best. Each one had something very special to offer. The very best where Little Kulala (unbelievable interiors and breathtaking landscapes), Jack's camp ( incredibly luxurious tents, best food ever, great camp managers and guides and the landscape in the saltpan is hard to describe - overwhelming.
Family Safari to Namibia and Botswana

Thank you for organising our fantastic trip to Kenya, it now ranks as our favourite holiday ever and we have been on a few!
The elephant orphanage was very special, particularly for the kids to get to see their adopted elephants.The rooms were wonderful, right next to the beach so that we could hear the waves gently lapping as we slept. The food was delicious. It really was the most wonderful holiday. Except for wanting to stay longer - like a month or two!
Family Safari to Kenya

I couldn't thank you enough! Our trip was wonderful, mostly because everyone paid attention to all the details. Africa, was so beautiful and all the people we met were so kind and helpful. Lots of tears leaving.
Our guides were all wonderful. Old Donyo was the favorite... We saw a lot of animals and have about 5000 photos. We also have recommended your company to many people along the way. This was a such a gift. So worth the $$$$, in fact it is some of the best money I have ever spent...
Safari to Tanzania

As time passes, the memories of our trip to Kenya just continues to get better. I have come to the conclusion that this was my favourite trip ever!
Our camp in the Mara was PERFECT! In fact both camps, just as you said, had the perfect amount of comfort, allowing one to feel close to the nature of Africa. Now the beach….WOW!! Beautiful, stylish, comfortable, quiet, restful, ….on and on! The ideal ending!!!!! Please feel free to use us for recommendations. We couldn't be happier!!
Safari to Kenya

What an incredible time we had on our safari. A huge thank you for organising it! It was without a doubt the most amazing holiday we will ever have.
The horses were complete stars and to be able to ride amongst so much game was truly unforgettable. It went far too fast and I wish we could rewind and have it all over again. A huge thank you again to you all for the best holiday in the world.
Riding Safari Kenya

Zambia seems a long time ago but fortunately we only have to get out the photos (as we often do) and it all comes flooding back! It was terrific and there was nothing that we wished we had done differently.
The camps were really remote and wild but also so comfortable and friendly, I’ll always remember the magnificent floodlit plain to look over while eating (and while in the shower!) and we had an incredibly close view of a leopard in tree! The guide was terrific. An unforgettable holiday.
Safari to Zambia

Well I'm with you. For some reason it is a place that just gets into your soul. There are a few places around the world that have done that to me.
The strength of feeling I now have for the country, the people, the food, the music, the dance is immense. We went for a trek (and the trek was fantastic) but Lalibela, the churches and the market, blew us all away. We all agreed it was quite the most special and memorable holiday we have had for many a year.
Ethiopia

In short the holiday was amazing, beautiful, peaceful, fascinating, hugely educational - just absolutely amazing.
I cannot tell you how much I would recommend this to other people, especially people who want to really learn about the wildlife, the country, the challenges and the opportunities. It was tailored to my exact requirements, everyone is extremely skilled at this and got it absolutely right. The horses were wonderful and the riding itself was exactly what I wanted. I have travelled a great deal, but rarely can I remember such peace. Life changing.
Family Safari Zimbabwe and Riding

I would just like to add my personal thanks to you for the work you did in creating our holiday and ensuring that all our bookings and connections worked out so well.
I know our African holiday will be one we will look back on with so many happy memories. Our guide, Ahadi, was very knowledgeable and certainly helped to make our safari an interesting experience. All of our hotels and lodges were excellent choices on your part.
Safari to Tanzania

We were so pleased to have selected someone with the clear passion and knowledge for the area that you have.
It was a unique holiday, faced with a tough description of what we wanted, you more than met with our fantasies about Kenya! The service was also so personal and professional from beginning to end. The Safari was great; the accommodation was excellent, the scenic backdrops and game-viewing varied in accordance with the terrain, and last but not the least, our driver and guide Moses was simply superb.
Safari to Kenya

Many thanks for helping me to organize the trip to Kenya! We had a truly wonderful time and were very well looked after! I really loved the fly camping; the riding was great and the horses lovely - thank you for all your professional help.
We saw a lot of wildlife including a cheetah with three cubs which was very exciting. We also visited a couple of local schools and learned a lot about life in the local villages, including the interaction between the villagers & wildlife which was really interesting.
Riding Safari Kenya

We had the MOST FANTASTIC time in Namibia. Loved it all! We saw amazing scenery met wild and interesting people, not to mention wild and interesting animals and insects.
We wanted to stay longer at all of them. Definitely would like a herd of Oryx in the field here. They are sooo beautiful. Our guide at Okonjima was also madly passionate and enthusiastic about his job. He should do really well I think.
Safari to Namibia

We had a fantastic time! You really did a great job for us. We both thought San camp was absolutely incredible.
The camp itself, the people, the food, and not to mention the surprises! Thank you for taking care of everything and for not giving anything away especially so last minute. It was all just perfect.
Safari to Botswana

Our trip was wonderful and was a beautifully organised experience. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Castleton.
The managers were wonderful and could not have done more to make our stay more enjoyable or comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. They laid on special expeditions (fishing etc) for the young when they were "game drived" out. The game viewing was exceptional and the Rangers made sure that we saw the big five and much more. Thank you, thank you!!
Family Safari South Africa

If you had heard my voice when I called you to thank you, you would have heard sheer HAPPINESS. This is from the fantastic 11 days in Zambia you have organized for us. We have not a single negative point to report! and I loved all the camps.
Organization, kindness and smiles were evident in every camp. Thanks to you, I had a lovely Birthday with the staff singing Happy Birthday in their own native language bringing me chocolate Birthday cake. In one sentence – we were treated like a King and a Queen.
Safari to Zambia

We had a fantastic time – as did Marie and Dave - “amazing holiday of a lifetime” is how they summed it up on the flight home. Thanks again for creating such wonderful memories!
Serengeti under Canvas worked brilliantly well – it really is a terrific operation particularly given it’s “mobile”. Our guide was just the best (alongside Super at Jack’s Camp). Great character, very, very experienced/knowledgeable, terrific service attitude and lovely spending time with him. All in all – a truly great trip – took too many photo’s of course, culled it down to 750!
Safari to Tanzania

We had both been on standard safaris before so we decided to try something different, perhaps walking in less well known parts of Kenya.
Here I was lucky enough to come across Nicola Shepherd of The Explorations Company, an expert on Africa who knew at once what we wanted and laid on a superb itinerary.The whole holiday was a wonderful experience and more than lived up to our expectations. Thank you for your brilliant organisation.
Walking safari Kenya

A big thank you from us all, we all had the most wonderful time and enjoyed everything so much it is hard to decide what we enjoyed the most.
Annabelle and Steve were a great host and hostess and nothing seemed too much trouble. Our guide was great and very helpful. We saw wonderful game and really enjoyed our visit to the little school where we are sponsoring a teacher. The lodge you recommended on Zanzibar really took our breath away and we hope it remains a well kept secret.
Family Safari to Kenya and Tanzania

Katharine, I would like to thank you for all! My holiday was perfect, I really liked everything... The walking company you recommended is the best company in whole Africa to do the Kilimanjaro Mountain, they are very professional, organized, adorable and careful people! The guides in the mountain were incredible, everybody in our group reached the top of Kilimanjaro (Uhuru Peak) and this was one of the most important and valuable experiences that I have ever had in my life!
Tanzania Mount Kilimanjaro and safari

Thank you and your team for the most wonderful flowers that arrived for us today. Thank you also for all your help, care and attention to detail which made everything run so smoothly.
We have so many memorable moments from jumping off cliffs and canoeing with hippos in Laikipia, to Zac catching the most enormous fish that fed everyone for supper at Tides Lodge. The safaris and guides were absolutely brilliant and we were lucky enough to see the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti.
Family Safari to Kenya and Tanzania

Firstly, many thanks for the beautiful flowers. It was the biggest bouquet I have ever received and it was gorgeous.
Our holiday was awesome from start to finish. The Elephant Camp was amazing and very luxurious. I cried when I saw Victoria Falls (an ambition since I was a small girl) Kafunta Lodge and Camp were also amazing in a different way. It was all about the game - which was perfect. Thanks again for your great organisational skills. You gave us a holiday we will never forget. I will recommend you to friends and family.
