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!
