African Safaris

We have completed our Safari 3 days at Kapama and 3 days at Klaserie sands.
Both places were wonderful ,
At Klaserie a more stunning view and animals directly seen from the patio at an waterhole. The Rangers and spotters on both places
outstanding . Transfers and flights all on time . The whole thing professional and very memorable.
This we wrote to Camilla Rowe it says it all

Ilze did an amazing job planning our first trip to Africa. It was a spectacular experience. I highly recommend working with Ilze .

We've just returned from our 3rd trip to Africa and once again Camille made it one of the best travel experiences we have ever had the pleasure of undertaking !! She immediately picked up on our preferences on our first trip and she has always been spot on with the choice of lodgings and areas of Africa we wanted to explore so that we always got the best exposure to our surroundings !! Her reputation for the details is Well deserved as every connection point from tranfers to flights have always gone off without a hitch. This particular trip also involved a cruise for us which we booked separately and she helped us secure incredible lodgings before we embarked so that we could get over our jet lag and revisit Cape Town for a couple of days.. She also arranged for our large luggage to be stored as we had to convert suitcases to duffel bags for the safaris she booked for us and again when we arrived at the hotel for an overnight before heading home our bags were delivered to our room within 10 minutes of checking in so that we could repack and spend our last hours in Cape Town enjoying a lovely meal and a last South African sunset.. We will never be able to thank her enough for all her hard work and her ability to make our trips so memorable !!!

We had the most amazing trip through Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa and I 100% attribute our experience to our travel agent, Ilze. We had an idea of what we wanted to do, but not only did Ilze point us toward the logical choices and give us direction on how to plan our trip, but she also made it happen. I can’t imagine planning a trip like this without a trusted advisor, and we are so thankful that Ilze planned everything out for us and made for a smooth trip.

When I told my friend who recommended Liesl that she had done a great job, his reply was "you know, I've heard that 100 times." She figured out exactly what accommodations and activities would be appropriate for our interests and our budget. She took a personal interest in our trip and was always available for our last-minute questions. We've traveled extensively worldwide and usually don't use an agent, but it this case it was well worth it. I'm pretty sure that it would have cost us more for less had we not used her.

Working with Camille this past year has been a real pleasure. She arranged a memorable trip for us. She promptly and patiently responded to our many question over the planning stages. Her choices for accommodations and activities were excellent. Every detail had been taken care of. We highly recommend her to help anyone prepare an amazing trip.

Ilze planned our honeymoon in December 2019. She did a fantastic job which was way beyond booking transport and accommodation. She provided fantastic recommendations on destinations, hotels, activities and restaurant options. We were well informed about the status of the booking as well as the trip itself.

Thanks so much Ilze and we will certainly recommend you for anyone wanting to travel to Africa!

We have made five trips to Africa, all of which were organised by Ilze Fox of African Safari Consultants. Based in the Cape Town office, she has a wealth of information on travelling in Africa through her personal and corporate experience. In planning our trips, she has answered our many questions promptly and with an attention to detail that is second to none. We have never had a single problem with our itineraries, flights or accommodation. We would highly recommend her services to anyone wanting a wonderful African experience.

We are back in the USA literally less than 24 hours since our first-ever trip to Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana) at the ages of 71 and 69, and we cannot wait to return -- to which I give enormous credit to Liesl Matthews at AFS. We have traveled abroad quite a bit and have always planned our trips without professional assistance. Despite that, I knew I couldn't do this one myself, and I "interviewed" 2 other planners before finding Liesl, who immediately felt like a kindred spirit to me. "Trip of a lifetime" is an overused phrase, but I have no other words to describe our experience. I will unhesitatingly use Liesl if and when we have another opportunity to visit that amazing, defiantly memorable continent.

During the past three years my wife and I have interacted with African Safari Consultants on two occasions. The first was a trip to South Africa and the second a trip to Uganda & Rwanda. The planning and execution of both magnificent adventures was done by Camille Rowe. All of the details of both itineraries were flawless. One could not ask for more perfect planning. Believe me when I say that African Safari Consultants is the perfect company to plan your dream trip to Africa. I am anxiously awaiting yet another visit to Africa with Camille creating another adventure of a lifetime.

We had a fantastic trip to three game parks in Kenya, Amboseli, Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Masai Mara, organized by African Safari Consultants. It was well planned from start to end.
Our consultant Ilze was knowledgeable and professional. Once she knew what kind of experience we wanted out of this vacation, she suggested a few options with different park choices. Considering our time limitation, she had suggested to travel between the parks, partially by air to save the travel time and some distance by road, to get the feel of the country. Today we feel that was a truly valuable suggestion. She answered all our questions and concerns in a timely manner. During the last leg of our trip, I had emailed her for an issue we were having at the front desk of that camp. She resolved it immediately and emailed me back.
However, I have one suggestion. On the last day, per our itinerary, we reached Nairobi around noon and our flight back home was at 1140 in the night. It would have been excellent if she had suggested us to have rest in a day room at an extra cost. Spending the whole day was a challenge.

I will rate the services provided by her for our trip as “Excellent” and based on my experience with her I will surely use this company again.

This is the fourth trip that Camille has organised for us in Southern Africa and she continues to meet and even exceed our expectations! From planning the trip in detail to providing support whilst on the trip you really coudn't ask for more. Enough said!

This was our first time visiting South Africa. Camille took our requests and designed a trip to accomplish all our goals. This is the only trip I can remember where everything went according to plan. The whole trip was outstanding! The accommodations were superb, the food was excellent, the transportation was on time, and the safaris were outstanding. We saw all the big 5 several times and many other animals. This was our best trip to date.

Dealing with Liesl Matthews and her associates at African Safari Consultants has been the best experience that I have ever had in all of my 30 years of planning holidays. Their efficiency and attention to detail made a potentially complicated trip a true delight. I am looking forward to working with them again in the near future.

I have worked with African Safari Consultants for more years than I can remember and would not think of working with anyone else. I go to Africa on Safari every year for photography and Liesl Matthews with her staff have always been extremely competent and knowledgable with great suggestions and arrangements. She will answer any questions you have and is very patient and organized. Liesl will get back to you right away every time and communicates very well. I highly recommend African Safari Consultants.

It has been a pleasure to work with Michelle at African Safari... We travelled all over the world and we have high expectation... Michelle organized for us a perfect trip where everything worked to perfection... and it was a challenging one... ...!! We are grateful for the wonderful memories..... Marina

Liesl Matthews of African Safari Consultants was recommended to us by cousins who had traveled to South Africa two years ago. From the time we landed at the Cape Town airport to the time we left for home from the Johannesburg airport Liesl arranged EVERYTHING for us. This included transfers to our beautiful Cape Town hotel, a private guide for two days, reservations at the restaurants we chose, a rental car delivered to our hotel, a fabulous 5-star B&B on the coast, flights to Safari country adjacent to Kruger National Park, two amazing Safari camps and transfers to Johannesburg airport.
Both before and during our trip-of-a-lifetime Liesl was always available to answer our questions. She was fantastic!
