Not only do we love watching as you, our travellers, embark on your greatest adventure, but it's a truly special moment for our Africa Safari Experts to receive feedback like this. ✨

The lovely DeShone Dabney travelled in November 2024 and had a fabulous 50th with her inner circle.

"This trip was more than I could have ever imagined. When I reached out to you all back in March, it was only a thought in my head as to what I wanted my 50th to look like. And after speaking with Madi, she said, no worries, we will make it happen. Something in her voice made me believe that it would. But never in my wildest dreams did I believe it would be so magical.

I believe I can speak for my whole crew when I say, you guys are heaven sent and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You literally didn't miss a beat. Everything was pretty perfect and It's going to be close to impossible to ever top such a trip of this magnitude.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!!"
