WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Dr Michelle

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. First, Riaan is incredibly detailed oriented and a logistic mastermind, so we never have to worry about the travel, flights, and getting to each camp. Even when the charter company changed our flights, he proactively ensured that our planes were of the same or better quality so that we never worried about how we got from one location to another. On the contrary, he made the travel days fun and enjoyable! He was also incredibly patient with all of our questions and never failed to update us or remind us of what we needed to prepare for the trip. He also picked out the perfect safari camps and adventures to match the interest of our large group.  Their knowledge of the area, the various countries and different safari experiences, and the lodges were impeccable. Our large group is a logistic nightmare just by our sheer size. Yet, we never had to think about anything else except what cocktails we wanted and what safari adventure we wanted to do that day.

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 to make sure we had up-to-date information and any arrangements that needed to be taken care of were managed. Every aspect of the trip was curated with my family’s interests, goals, and preferences are taken into account, as well as little surprise personal touches that show they are as invested in our experience as we are. Riaan and Willem have a keen ability to understand each and every individual they are working with so that the end result is a truly unique and customized travel experience that left incredible, everlasting memories from a trip that was more than we could have ever imagined. Already in the early stages of planning my second trip, with many more to follow!
