"A trip to South Africa and Botswana: A Grand Adventure"

A trip to South Africa and Botswana have been on our list for a very long time. Plans were made and airline tickets booked. Then along came COVID. Discouraging to say the least. The itinerary was exciting so waiting two years was tough. We're so grateful to Liesl Matthews at African Safari Consul. for helping us keep our eyes on the prize. Your itinerary was more than we expected! The Cape Town activities were an awesome start. Stellenbosch, the Cape, the vineyards, the food, the crazy days spent with Charlie. Our adventure starts in the Okavango Delta - Camp Moremi, Savute Safari Lodge, then Chobe Game Lodge on the Chobe River. All in the National Parks. The game drives and boat excursions were abundant with wildlife! The food and wine phenomenal and the hospitality as good as all of the above! We finished at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Victoria Falls is Mother Nature at her best. Exhilarating to experience! Liesl - the intracontinental travel plans and camps choices were the ultimate itinerary for us! Your plan worked perfectly. We met so many awesome people: best trip EVER!!
We truly hope to work with you again. There are so many places to see! We highly recommend Africa Safari Consultants, LLC! Liesl will make your trip special too.

"Daisy was amazing"

Daisy was amazing. She was invaluable with rebooking and rescheduling multiple times over the past few years. Fantastic trip, really great lodges picked out for us. Again, really was invaluable for us!

"This was a once in a lifetime…"

This was a once in a lifetime experience. Expertly organized with a thoughtful allocation of our time and resources.

"Superlative! Simply the Best!"

This is the third time Daisy organized a trip to Africa for me. There is a reason I keep coming back. Daisy is simply the best! Planned the trip during Covid. Londolozi, Cape Town, Wedding, Winelands. Carlos was the best guide and driver as well! A lot of changes to the itinerary and the people going on the trip. Seamless execution and awesome recommendations!

"Honeymoon of our dreams!"

Liesl truly made our honeymoon dreams come true. She was responsive, flexible, and tailored our trip to exactly what we wanted. All of our transfers, accommodations, and travel were flawless. The attention to detail was unparalleled. Even with a number of Covid-related logistics, Liesl made us feel prepared and confident about what we needed to do or what was required of us. I can't imagine doing our South African travel without Liesl and would recommend her to absolutely anyone.

"Daisy went above and beyond"

Daisy went above and beyond! Planning a 2 week trip for 10 people is already a challenge and then you add COVID into the mix and it was almost impossible. However not for Daisy. She was a rock star. Along the way, Daisy kept me updated on changes needed as well as what was really going on in South Africa with COVID. I am so appreciative of her help and her guidance.

We loved our trip and encourage anyone scared to travel to do it. Our trip was amazing and safe.

"Wonderful Africa Travel Agency"

I contacted Liesl of African Safari Consultants in December 2019 about a trip to Uganda and Namibia departing late September 2020. After much back and forth via emails, with Liesl’s recommendations and mutual research, my itinerary was set in early February 2020. Then, the Pandemic struck the world. My trip was not to be in 2020. I made the decision to postpone my trip for another year with fingers crossed I could go in 2021. Liesl did a fantastic job working with the various companies in Uganda and Namibia to reschedule my entire itinerary to exactly one year later. I departed Los Angeles on 28 September 2021 for Uganda so I could go gorilla trekking. The company Liesl chose to contract with in Uganda (Wild Frontiers) was perfect for me. She made an excellent choice. My intra-Africa flights were well arranged, even after one of the airlines revised its flight schedule which left all of us scrambling to make sure I would make my connection. I made it to Southern Africa and ready for my visit to Namibia. Once again, Liesl chose the perfect company to contract with in Namibia (NatureFriend Safaris) to drive and guide me throughout my time in Namibia. Their driver/guide (Nico) was the very best. All of the lodges I stayed in were great. Liesl clearly knows her stuff and the right places and people to show a tourist a fabulous time visiting the African continent. I highly recommend her and African Safari Consultants.

"AMAZING!!"

AMAZING!!
My husband and I worked with Daisy at African Safari Consultants to plan our honeymoon. We did not make it easy on her- we were a "covid couple" and there were plenty of bumps along the way. Daisy navigated us through rescheduling the trip TWICE and re-planning the entire second portion of the trip due to restrictions. She handled this with ease and we always felt that she was on top of everything. We genuinely would not have been able to do this trip without her. I would have given up and cancelled the trip of a lifetime.

As for the trip itself, everything was incredible. All of the accommodations she recommended were stunning and transfers and activities were flawlessly executed. It was a busy trip with absolutely no stress. I will only ever use Daisy again and will recommend her to anyone I can.
Thank you!

"Botswana & Victoria Falls"

We (party of 8) highly recommend Ilze with African Safari Consultants. She went over and beyond the call of duty and was patient and always willing to help through postponement by one year due to covid. She set up our transports (be it by land or air), made all transfer arrangements and booked our lodges with the great professionalism. I have years back owned 2 travel agencies and have been on 7 safaris, so this compliment does not come lightly. I rarely ever do reviews but I am so impressed that I am eager to write a review on their behalf. Thank you Ilze and your staff.

"Great job Liesl!"

Liesl did a great of job of arranging the details of the trip. She balanced doing a safari with other highlights in Africa, like Cape Town and Victoria Falls. Also she was able to adjust our arrangements thru two travel postponements because of covid. Once we decided to make the trip, Liesl setup all the covid tests we needed so we could easily go from country to country. We saw the Big 5 animals, and many others; and our safari lodges were top notch. Our safaris did not disappoint. We would highly suggest using Liesl for any of your African travel needs. She and her staff did a great job, and are always on call if you run into problems.
