Afrigetaway Safaris

Awesome tour with awesome staff,visiting three different ecosystems, each housing different wildlife We experienced what we perceived as the TRUE Africa, which is why we chose a mobile camping safari. It was an amazing experience that fed the soul in all the ways we wanted! We stayed in roomy tents, in the middle of Africa's wild lands, with cots, portable toilet and bucket shower. Many thanks to our wonderful camp manager who also made our beds every day and and provided us a canvas sink of nice warm wash water every morning. The chef was magical, putting together three daily delicious and hearty meals, including fresh bread, all made in cast iron pots on a fire. Our delightful game driver/guide showed us a huge variety of Africa's wildlife, both huge and tiny, and he answered our overload of questions. We thank him for his patience with us. The vehicle drives were exhilierating, and sometimes painful, as the roads are VERY rough, bumpy, sandy (we got stuck in the sand once), and sometimes run through waterways (we got stuck there once as well). That was all part of the ADVENTURE! Whenever we ran into such situations, the team coordinated well with each other and with other safari teams, and made it all work out - very impressive! My only suggestion would be to acquire some form of satellite communication, as there was often no radio or cellular service available to ask for assistance. All in all, the trip left us with many spectacular memories and photos and new friends!

Flexible, knowledgeable and thoughtful We created a custom itinerary based on one of the prepackaged safaris. BK was extremely knowledgable and flexible on creating the experience that we wanted, which was to see multiple different ecosystems. We planned this over a year and always found we never had to wait more than a week for a response which was great! The experience itself once we arrived was beyond my expectations by far! This was a Safari that was just booked for two of us and my friend has been to Africa many times, but this was my first time outside of North America. The entire experience was amazing, and BK was incredibly flexible as we had flight disruptions that caused us to arrive late, and then requested something additional that was booked quietly in the background and inserted seamlessly into our trip! Our guide, cook, and the camp staff were incredible, and our guide in particular quickly learned our preferences and helped make the experience even better. As with any adventure Safari, there were some adventures along the way, but they were handled with the minimum disruption to us as possible, and accommodations were always made to keep us comfortable and taken care of. For me personally, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Some of the days were long, but we saw something amazing every day, which apparently is not always the case. The only thing I noticed was that transit times were generally almost double what had been listed. I’m not sure if this was because the road conditions were much worse than expected, but it did make a difference to the length of our days. However, every day was amazing and brought new plants animals and birds as well as great local information provided by our guide. We very much appreciated that BK focussed on using providers who were local, not owned out of country or big companies. For us this was very important and much appreciated! I would highly recommend this company, particularly with group of support people we had!
