I cannot recommend Liz and the Alluring Africa team more. Liz planned a PERFECT 3 week honeymoon for me and my wife in East Africa that exceeded all expectations. During the planning process, she was patient with our never ending questions and gave us numerous options across price points and geographies. The camps we stayed at were AMAZING and the travel logistics throughout the three weeks was seamless. Use Liz and Alluring Africa for your safari trip!

I found Alluring Africa after doing some extensive research on different travel agents and tour operators specializing in East Africa travel, and was soon able to connect with Liz Loftus. She spent some time with my husband and I on the phone to learn more about what kind of trip we wanted for our honeymoon. Liz was then able to take that phone call and create an itinerary for us that implemented everything we had said we wanted to do during our stay in Kenya and Tanzania.Leading up to our trip, Liz sent our final itinerary and walked us through each day, giving tips on what we should do at certain camps and reviewing logistical items like tipping. Once we touched down in Kenya, it was so nice to just take a look at my itinerary for the day and know that everything like transfers, bush planes, food & drink preferences, etc. were all arranged ahead of time. We were blown away by the quality and hospitality at each of the 4 hotels and camps we stayed at. Our trip went so smoothly and we are so appreciative of the work Liz put in to making our trip great. I would not hesitate to work with Liz and Alluring Africa for our next big trip!

This was a second time using Alluring Africa to plan a safari. And just like our first experience, everything went incredibly smoothly and couldn’t have been more perfect. We have gone to Botswana and now more recently Tanzania. Susan Neva planned both trips for us and both trips have been incredible.Alluring Africa makes all the travel logistics seamless and worry free. Susan even provided us with a tipping guideline for everyday to take all that quests work out. The quality of the safari and lodges that Alluring Africa uses are exceptional. Susan has so much first hand experience in Africa and provided so many helpful suggestions and tips on where to go / how many days to spend / etc. Our trip truly was perfect and catered exactly to our dreams and we have Alluring Africa to thank.We are already thinking of our third vacation with them! gorilla trekking next!

I can’t begin to thank Liz for ALL the amazing planning while having to deal with COVID postponements! She directed me and planned the most amazing trip of my lifetime that I will never forget, EVERYTHING I ever wanted to do and see my first trip to Africa she accomplished with each camp. I visited Eagle Island, Savute Elephant Camp, Little Sabi Sands Bush Camp and then uganda for gorillas! I went on this trip solo and I never felt more safe! Liz really ensured that with connecting me to some pretty amazing people in Africa. From plane hopping, Sundowner Drives with G&T’s, stargazing galore!, The community visit and meeting new lifelong friends there will be miles of smiles for life! Everything from the amazing presentation and quality of food, stunning accommodations and especially the impeccable service and the exceptional staff members at each Belmond group camp were truly REMARKABLE and they will leave a place in my heart forever! thank you so much LIZ and alluring Africa for making my dreams come true and I’m sure I’ll be planning my next trip soon !!!

We just returned from an incredible 2 week trip to Tanzania! We traveled with our 2 kids during the start of the Omicron variant and Liz made things less stressful as she kept us up to date on changes and arranged all of our testing. Not having to worry about that during travel, especially with kids, made things much easier and was appreciated! Everything was exceptional and I cannot recommend Liz or Alluring Africa enough to anyone who is considering a trip to Africa. This was our first trip to Africa and we are already planning with Liz on returning. We travel quite a bit and this trip was the best trip our family has ever been on. From transportation to accommodations (WOW) it was perfect. Thank you Liz for all the beautiful memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

What an adventure! Thank you to Liz and the Alluring Africa team for planning the trip of a lifetime in Tanzania and Uganda. Liz really listened to what we were looking for and exceeded our expectations. We booked our second trip with Alluring Africa (this time to Kenya) within a week of returning home from Tanzania and Uganda. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing family experience in Tanzania guided all along the way by Abigail at Alluring Africa. She was super helpful during our planning, suggested parks to visit and places to stay which exceeded our expectations, was very responsive to our (many) questions, showed a personal interest in our satisfaction. This trip was everything we had hoped for. We've already recommended Abigail and Alluring Africa to friends!

The service from Alluring Africa was amazing. It all started with Debbie who took the time to understand our interests and put together an amazing itinerary which included 2 different safari camps in Kenya, a stop in Giza to see the Pyramids and Sphinx, and then a cruise down the River Nile to numerous tombs and other landmarks. From the outset we were met by their partners on the ground and handed off from one to the other without ever so much as a question as to whom to connect with or where to go to find our next liaison. We cannot imagine trying to have accomplished a trip like this on our own.The safari camps in Kenya were top-shelf with beautiful tents right in the wilderness, caring and lovely staff, and the best food one could imagine. Our guides were spectacular and we saw more wildlife than anyone could expect. Our guide in Egypt was terrific and was able to give us a history lesson in Egyptology we won't ever forget. The river cruise was so classy with food that rivaled only the camps we had been in Kenya. The tombs were beautiful.This was truly THE trip of a lifetime. We are so glad to have found Alluring Africa, and, of course, Africa so alluring! ?

Alluring Africa did everything right in helping us plan our trip to Tanzania & Kenya. Susan, our advisor, crossed every t & dotted every i and she truly listened to us when we explained what we were looking for. Everything went perfectly. Their partners in East Africa were uniformly spectacular. DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE THEM FOR YOUR VACATION! They are a wonderful company.

Susan Neva was wonderful to work with! After book an entire trip last year, due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to cancel. We were able to receive a full refund and then rebooked the trip with ease...only a few emails to finalize the dates.The quality and service of the air transport were great! All flights were on time and we felt comfortable with the pilots and flights. We especially enjoyed the helicopter ride at Linyanti Camp in Botswana.The ground transport service providers were prompt, friendly and provided us with interesting local information, history and knowledge. The game drivers were very well trained, friendly and so respectful of the bush and wild animals. They truly made the drives very enjoyable and went above and beyond provide great viewing and variety in what we got to see.Victoria Falls, both camp experience's, the Cape Town itinerary -- Robben Island, Table Mountain, Penguins, wine country and guide Maarten Van De Vijver were amazing!Thank you again!Cynthia and Kathleen - Mother/daughter trip of a lifetime!
