"You don’t get what you paid for !!"

You get MUCH more!! Very well coordinated. Met all our request. Not a single step was missed and we had a complicated 14-day itinerary. My only comment would be the authenticity of the Maasai tribe experience. It appeared to be commercialised and we were “duped” (no fault of Brilliant Africa) into purchasing overly priced items they supposedly made, that were only worth maybe $10 vs. $130 we paid. I would recommend skipping this excursion. The experience with the Hadzabe tribe on the other hand, was more authentic especially the opportunity to go on a hunt with them. Very cool.
Overall, we would highly recommend BA!!

"I want to personally thank Alyson…"

I want to personally thank Alyson Morgan, Christine Duke, and Tracy Edwards for creating the best 50th birthday gift I could have ever imagined. The team at Brilliant Africa handled me with so much care that I was sad the trip was ending. The package that was put together for me was beyond my expectations. The arrival to Kenya at Tamarind Tree Hotel to the day trips with the guides (Sheldrick Wildlife Trust) to visit the Elephant Sanctuary, Giraffe Center, and lunch at Carnivore Restaurant. Traveling safely to Porini Lion Camp and meeting men from the Masai Mara tribe was amazing. My 50th birthday celebration included a name Ceremony along with a wonderful performance from the Masai men. Let me not forget the adventurous game rides with incredible sunsets. Lastly, Konokono Beach Resort in Zanzibar has unbelievably gorgeous beach views that include a humongous sweet with breathtaking views.
Thank you, Monique Young

"Kenya and Tanzania Sept 24 safari"

I cannot rate Brilliant Africa high enough in terms of customer service and support in planning our amazing safari holiday to Kenya and Tanzania. Their goal is to provide world-class customer service and they go above and beyond. We knew we wanted to see the migration of the herds across Maasai Mara and Serengeti but no idea how to plan a holiday on this scale in countries we had no knowledge of and Brilliant Africa helped with everything tailoring our safari within our budget. We flew Kenyan Airways business class. Fantastic food, Fantastic staff. We spent the first few days at Sand River in the masai mara before heading to Mara River Post in Serengeti. There is an army of people involved that Brilliant Africa work with to ensure your holiday is seamless from the minute you land to the minute you depart. We are now booking our 2nd trip with Tracy and Aly at Brilliant Africa and will remain a long standing client

"A 10/10 experience from start to finish. "

An African safari is a unique experience, and having completed this one with Brilliant Africa it’s definitely not something I’d do on my own.

The original booking process was smooth and we felt reassured. However it was the period between booking and departing which really impressed us.

We asked what seemed like a million questions about anything and everything and got proper answers from people who clearly know their destinations

Moreover, we had an anxious time with a delayed flight and couldn’t have asked for a more timely or helpful response. Honestly, we felt like there was a wrapper of security and that someone else was constantly on the lookout for us.

The in country team who looked after us on the journey were exceptional too.

Absolutely recommend Brilliant Africa, we will be using them again for sure.

10/10. Thanks Aly. You’re a star.

"From beginning to end"

From beginning to end, Brilliant Africa listen to and worked with me to craft the perfect trip. We went through many iterations with my having to cancel one year because of a broken leg, but the patientience, perseverance, and true desire to help me have a great vacation all worked out very well in the end!

"Beyond my dreams "

I had been dreaming of a trip to Africa for almost 30 years. When you have been dreaming of something this long, there’s always a little fear that it will not meet your expectations. That fear was unfounded. We just returned from our trip, planned with the help of Aly and her team and it exceeded my dreams. From the careful planning based solely on our wishes, to the personal on-site support that made us feel so special, I can’t imagine any company doing a better job than Brilliant Africa.
We started our 12 day trip at the Beautiful Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, then headed to Tanzania for game drives at 3 different camps. We started at Tarangire National Park, then headed to the Ngorongoro crater, and finally, to the Serengeti for the wildebeest migration. The camps that brilliant Africa recommended were way beyond expectations with the service, the scrumptious food, and especially the game drives with experienced and professional guides. Highly recommend Brilliant Africa for your safari adventure. You will be more than happy with your choice.

"Brilliant Africa lived up to it's name"

Brilliant Africa was recommended by a friend who had travelled extensively to all parts of the world and they did not disappoint.
While any trip to Africa would be spectacular, what was so impressive about Brilliant Africa was their involvement in both the planning and execution parts of our trip. They started with talking through our wish list and added suggestions to ensure we got the trip of a lifetime personalized just for us.
After our trip was planned they continued to be "hands on" helping us through the bumps of navigating all of the travel logistics and were always there to assist particularly in the airports, meeting drivers and working with third parties.
Brilliant Africa really demonstrated how important it was to book with a team who is experienced with Africa and stays with you every step of the way. They were truly invested in making this a trip of a lifetime.
Thank you Aly and team for an incredible trip.

"Allyson and Tracy from Brilliant Africa…"

Allyson and Tracy from Brilliant Africa were wonderful from our first interaction. They helped us plan our perfect vacation package based on what we wanted to do! Not only did they put together a perfect agenda for our trip to Uganda, but made sure we knew about vaccinations and VISA requirements. They secured all needed permits for chimpanzee and gorilla trekking and even helped us with a suggested packing list! Our vacation was everything that we hoped and planned down to the last detail. They were quick to respond with any questions or concerns we had and were available to us all during our travels as well. We would highly recommend Brilliant Africa if you are considering a trip to Africa.

"Great itinerary and arrangements"

Great itinerary and arrangements

"An eye for all the details"

My sister and I had an amazing safari in Tanzania and stay in Zanzibar thanks to Brilliant Africa. Tracy consulted us about what we wanted, and she had a big store of knowledge and experience about what was available. Aly worked with us closely from booking to the end of our trip. Their portal was great and full of useful travel information. Everything was worry free because they handled all the details from beginning to end. They got us great deals on luxurious hotels, and partnered with an amazing safari guide who we loved. We will definitely book through them again! This was an epic trip.
