WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Husband and wife hiking in Rocky Mountains

We highly recommend African Aerial Safaris for your next holiday! We recently finished a fantastic trip to South Africa organized by Riaan. The attention to detail, personalized planning, and intimate knowledge of lodges and experiences in Africa is unparalleled. His personalized trip itinerary was intuitive and invaluable, containing everything we needed to safely and efficiently travel to each destination.

I cannot say enough about African Aerial Safaris. We celebrated our two sons’ graduation and my sister and her husband’s birthday with a large family safari trip. Riaan and Willem provided us with more than a vacation. They gave us a memory and experience that will last a lifetime.

Words cannot adequately express how amazing my family’s trip to Zambia was or how it just would not have been possible without the experience, knowledge, support, responsiveness, and planning from Riaan, Willem, and the African Aerial Safaris team. They were there for every step of the 8-month planning process and also throughout our trip.

Husband and wife on safari vehicle

We have just returned to Canada from a two week tour of South Africa set up by Riaan, from African Aerial Safaris. We spent time in the cities, toured along the coast, and went on safari. It was the perfect blend to give us the feeling we got a true sense of the country. We have met Riaan previously, and he is the kind of  person that I find invaluable in that you can trust him, he will look after you.
