I'm having a serious case of separation anxiety! SA was breathtaking and it was a truly unforgettable journey. I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of my family. My parents are frequent travellers having come from Scandinavia and South America just last month and they told me this trip was by far, the best they've ever experienced. I share the same sentiment.
The safari trip was a truly unforgettable and amazing experience. We could not have asked for more – there were plenty of exciting and eye-opening animal sightings; the food at Tanda Tula was unexpectedly delicious with good variety over 4 days; the rangers were very knowledgeable and patient; and the service at Tanda Tula was simply the best. The whole trip went very smoothly and it was a great honeymoon. I would have no hesitation in recommending my friends to have a trip just like ours.
If traveling to South Africa is on your bucket list, you’re definitely not alone. This coastal nation on the southernmost tip of the African continent is as diverse as its 11 official languages. From watching a herd of elephants cross a river, to sipping some of the best wine in the world, a trip to South Africa has it all.
This journey has been both a spiritual and a humbling one for me and M. There is something about living slowly and being surrounded by God's wonderful creation which brings harmony and heals. We become more appreciative and grateful for the little things - the calming sound of the ocean waves, the refreshing breeze on a hot afternoon, the magnificent display of colors in the sky as the sun signals the end of day, the sincere conversations during dinner and the warm hugs from people you just met - and we find more meaning, meaning in just being.
Ailin has really been very helpful and patient with us throughout the planning process; and she has really done a wonderful job. With her assistance, we have come up with a wonderful itinerary.
We're actually looking forward to this vacation since it will be a lot of FIRSTs for us: 1st time in Africa, 1st time doing a safari tour, riding an air balloon and maybe much more activities. Really excited for our safari!!
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your arrangements to make our safari adventures in Botswana so amazing. Our guides and accommodation were fantastic and it exceeded all my wildest dreams. I don't think I ever want to go on safari again because I cannot believe it would ever be as good! Every day we saw something new - so much lovely wildlife and bird life and even on the final drive we had a first - which was amazing!
Had a very enjoyable stay in Cape Town and the Garden Route - South Africa is a great country to visit with so much to see and do - wish I had longer!!
It was purely through the recommendation of another client of Ailin that we got to know of A2A Safaris. I had been speaking to another travel specialist for a while already about South Africa when I decided to check with my friend who went to Kenya on safari and he strongly recommended Ailin and A2A.
Safaris and adventure travel are best organised by specialist companies. Find one that you are comfortable with and that meets your needs. A2A Safaris organised my safari. It’s the fourth time I’ve used them and each trip – I’d like to think – has made me slightly better for it.
Bon voyage!
