Capetown, Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park)

June 2022

After returning from this trip, we knew it would not be our last. I believe we were a challenging family to satisfy since we all had different interests. Africa by Ayu, however was able to curate a very detailed and interesting itinerary to make each of our experiences absolutely unforgettable. The activities, the guides, the tours, the restaurants, the accommodations and their personal touch made everything seem perfect. Africa by Ayu went beyond our expectations, including changing the itinerary last minute to suit the weather. All we did was sit back and enjoy EVERY SINGLE MINUTE. Thank you. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we will be back!

This was our first experience in Africa and it was made absolutely magical thanks to Africa by Ayu. We didn’t have to worry about any accommodation or travel. Communication between the different hotels and transport providers was seamless. Our experience in the Masai Mara was amazing. From the hotel, catering to our specific dietary requirements to the park rounds and our tracker who was able to get us to see all big 5 species, we truly had a wonderful experience. The best part about this trip is that we didn’t have to worry about planning with our busy schedules. Africa by Ayu ensured that all our expectations were met. The Africa by Ayu Team was always available and happy to help regardless of the odd times we wanted to contact them. Thank you Africa by Ayu for this magical experience.

Africa by Ayu arranged a privately curated tour of Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. From the moment we were greeted upon arrival in Nairobi and up until we left Africa we had a wonderful safari experience with loads of game sightings. Everything was seamless. We absolutely loved every minute that Africa by Ayu arranged. If you are looking for a true African experience, this is it!

A massive thank you for a 7-day trip that was very well planned and executed. All we had to do was specify the budget and location; the rest was all taken care of. From the moment we landed in Kasane, there was constant contact ensuring there were no issues. The personalized touches (surprises!) in the Okavango Delta, great wildlife sightings, beautiful camps / lodges and to the team in Maun greeting us on our return back home... it was a fantastic experience. Thank you to the Africa by Ayu team! Until next time 🙂

Africa by Ayu did a fantastic tour, all I had to do was let them know what I was looking for and everything else from Hotels/Lodges to the itinerary was planned by them. On arrival we were met by the representative, provided information and what to expect, the drivers/trackers were knowledgeable and they try their best to make sure you see everything. We had a great time, would love to return soon !!! Thank you to Africa by Ayu for organising a fantastic Holiday !!! 🙂

We had a wonderful time. First time in South Africa for a Safari - i was a bit scared to be disappointed after the amazing safaris I had done in Zambia and Zimbabwe. But the place chosen by Africa by Ayu were perfect. Lots of wildlife and good spot at the lodge to enjoy wildlife while chilling. + Africa by Ayu are super efficient to fix travel bumps.

It was amazing to see all that wildlife, some even at a very close proximity. However, we were disappointed that we could not set eyes on the Rhino.

Two families, three kids....as the kids say \"It was the best trip of our lives, and we want to go back to Africa\". The tour was so well organised whether it was just an airport pick up or drop for an event. The guides were excellent- both at the game park Mala Mala and Cape Town. The restaurant in Franschoek had been hand-picked by Africa by Ayu not only for its food but also for the excellent scenery. The tours were not rushed and it was a change from the usual Insight tours these two families do each year. We will definitely travel again to Africa with Africa by Ayu!

It was great! Enjoyable and relaxing. All aspects of the tour was so well organised to fine details, there was nothing left for us to worry about, so we could fully enjoy the safari 🙂 Our Guide - Fred was superb, he was courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating. The whole package worked so well, we saw the Big Five and more! Thank you Africa by Ayu! I am happy to do it again.....:)

Before the tour we were well informed of all the arrangements in Kenya. Arrangements were flexible, we could pick and choose the parks we wanted , option of vehicles and the hotels. Africa by Ayu tried their best to get us Mara Serena, which was our first choice but we ended up at Mara Simba lodge, which we enjoyed as much. Our pick up arrangement at the airport in Nairobi was smooth and we were introduced to our guide-cum-driver (Fred) who was just absolutely fantastic. He very much made our entire safari a memorable one. We will certainly pick him in our next Safari trip. Choice of hotels was very good except for Lake Nakuru Lodge. Our travel back to Nairobi was smooth. Finally the Canivore which we visited after the safari was the cherry on the pie!
