Dominique was a pleasure to work with, I felt like she truly listened and GOT who I was and how I like to travel in the world. The trip was perfect and effortless. Our guide in Namibia was not only incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent but also had keen emotional intelligence. He knew when to give us space and when to interact. He made our trip a dream come true. I was sad to at our departure after 5 days.

— Amy Zuckerman, Namibia

We just came back from our 30th anniversary dinner at Sirikoi. We are completely speechless. We are not sure what exactly you knew, but it was a once in a lifetime experience. The evening drive did not return ‘home’ but brought us to a special remote location where a private campsite had been prepared for ‘dinner for ‘two’. During dinner (very romantic indeed, under the stars with a campfire at our feet), a group of Masai warriors and females served as a second surprise. We were treated with a private hour long dance and singing performance. Incredible. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this very special arrangement. We will treasure it for years to come.

— Arty and Max Coppes, Kenya

I was so pleased with the planning and execution of this trip for fourteen women.  We were treated with courtesy and respect by everyone we met.  Our guides added immensely to our understanding of the culture of the country.

— Susan Downs, South Africa

Every aspect of my trip was incredible.

Riding horses in Kenya was a dream come true. I galloped through herds of animals and saw every species.

Crossed rivers teaming with hippos, filmed lions and rhinos.

— Billy Snodgrass, Kenya

Every place we visited was absolutely worthwhile.

And our excellent guide was critical to helping us to understand the country and the customs.

— Wendy Wheeler and Ian Reid, Morocco

The itinerary was perfect--great combination of places and all were different enough that we felt we got fabulous experiences. All were different in the way they approached conservation but all were excellent and focused on it. All managers, guides, trackers were wonderful.

— Connie Plaehn, Kenya, Rwanda

Our trip exceeded above and beyond our expectations.

It was a truly life changing experience.

I will never make another trip to Africa without talking to Dominique first.

— George Daskalopoulos, Kenya

Every place we stayed was wonderful. The food and drink in all the places was so good and abundant there was not one bad thing. It was the perfect honeymoon! Dominique got it all together for us. Everything was right on mark. We were met and expected everywhere we went, and everyone knew it was our honeymoon. Perfect job!

— Heather Wainer and Lou Weidt, South Africa

Lana did an awesome, awesome job. The three extra days I had in Swakopmund she a great job on connecting with day trips that really were of interest to me. And every time I called her with a question she was very nice and never rushed me, always kept me up to date. It was a great pleasure to work with her.

— Donna Blalock, Namibia
