Thank you @a2asafaris for the once in a lifetime adventure to South Africa. Your planning, suggestions and choices for the sights, accommodations and restaurants were all spot on. It's a vacation my friends and I won't soon forget.
It was an exhilirating experience! The staff of Cheetah Plains were very accommodating. Cannot say anything but praise for the safari guides, Mike and Josh. They really tried their best for us to see as many animals as we could even driving beyond the property lines of Cheetah Plains. Unfortunately, we didnt see any rhino, or the cheetah, or hyena. Mike drove us to the "lairs" of the hyenas but mother hyena was not around. Its okay, we saw where they are "billeted", so to speak. We went on four game drives. We got a pretty good number of animal sightings.
Ailin has been nothing short of exceptional. I must say we've not been easy clients. We are well travelled and have typically always planned our own travels. This is the first time we are using a travel planner and Ailin is big part of the reason why we decided to travel with A2A. She's been v patient with our numerous requests and gave good advice. She's really a valuable asset to A2A.

Super thanks. This third safari was the best yet. Rhinos, leopards, camps, guides, etc.
We decided to take a last minute trip to South Africa in December... peak season in every country, especially South Africa as it is their summer season! A2A went all out to plan the perfect kid-friendly itinerary for our family in the 2 WEEKS before we were supposed to leave! Yes, it was very last minute and yes A2A performed under great pressure from us and the SA vendors. In the end, it was one of the most memorable family trips we ever had. It was everything we expect from a trip... lots of nature, animals, beach and FUN!
Just recently, my wife and I had decided to start planning our so-called “bucket list trips.” Our first destination on that list was Maldives, and it was there, in May 2015, that we chose our second destination – Africa. It seemed daunting, since we had no idea where to stay, where to go, and what to see. Our mission was to go on a safari on my wife’s birthday in March – everything else outside of that, we had no clue. Thankfully, we came across A2A Safaris.
‘Most’ is a difficult word. We loved the lodges, the Ebony breakfasts (my husband especially), the guides and trackers (really make the trip), in fact all of the staff made a huge difference – all amazing, friendly, interesting and interested in us. The animals were amazing, loved learning about their habits, the environment and preservation, etc. And the scenery was incredible – so big! Totally happy sometimes to just drive around and not so worried about seeing a new animal on every corner. But when we did, and sometimes so close – wow!
We relied completely on A2A Safaris to determine our itinerary and recommended accommodation. The game lodge, although not a place we had heard about, was the highlight of our trip. Importantly A2A Safaris made sure we had the best guide available at the lodge and we were treated as VIPs throughout our stay. It was a first class experience – one we will never forget.
I was truly happy with how Ailin made the itinerary for our family. She was very patient, accomodating and truly helpful, looking out what was best for us and the kids! Her demeanor, conduct, tone was very warm and friendly. She truly helped make our experience with A2ASafaris such a pleasure. I would love for Ailin to plan our next trip again! Thank you!
