For the average person an African Safari holds the most mystery and the most majesty of all possible destinations one might consider for their vacation travel. It presents the most emotionally charged experiences as you are immersed into the world of exotic wildlife viewed in their natural settings; or share the dancing, folklore, and culture with tribal villagers.
It is difficult to appropriately describe the thrill you will feel as you are hovering above a herd of zebras grazing a mere few feet below or as your game drive comes to a stop to allow a regal lion to walk leisurely past within a few feet of the vehicle.

Our Expert African Safari Planners
The promise of once in a lifetime memories are abundant, but so do the possibilities of misrepresentations and misuse of your vacation investment. Africa is absolutely one destination that requires a trip planner with experience, first hand knowledge and reliable vendor partners and host contacts. This will ensure you are getting not only true value for your purchase, but that what you are purchasing is exactly as represented.
Our African Safari Specialist, Ellen, has been to Africa personally 10 times in the last 17 years. Three of her safaris were groups she had personally organized and escorted, using personal contacts she has developed over the years who work and live in the countries you will want to visit as well as with our distinguished vendor partners.
We would like to share with you but one of the many letters of appreciation Ellen has received over the years from African Safari clients she has assisted:

 So sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. We have been adjusting to the jet lag and I am finally feeling better. The trip was AMAZING!!!!!!!! Everything was perfect and it was by far the most amazing vacation we have ever had. All of the lodges were great in there own way and they all offered different things. We saw amazing game in Botswana and the accommodations in South Africa were fabulous. Thank you so much for our help and I will forward you my pics when they are all edited. We will be going back!"

There are a handful of companies that offer tours and packages that will take you to Africa. But the safari specialists on staff at African Travel Inc. do not just sell this destination, for them it is a passion. Each specialist has visited the regions they represent and advise is based on First Hand Knowledge. Their staff consists of individuals that have been sending visitors to Africa utilizing a combined 480 years of experience in designing and arranging dream trips. They enthusiastically return often themselves for renewal and constant further exploration and experience. So it is easy to understand why this same staff was voted Top Tour Operator and Safari Outfitter in 2009 by the readers of Travel + Leisure Magazine.
When one travels outside of their region they call home it becomes abundantly clear that comfort is defined differently. Just as the backdrop for any visit to Africa is exotic, unique and defies definition, so are the levels of accommodation that one may experience on a visit there.
This is absolutely THE destination that you want to dealing with experts regarding your accommodations, meals, transportation and guides. Misrepresentation is higher in Africa than any other destination in the world. African Travel Inc. has spent years and countless dollars researching experiencing firsthand and then negotiating with diverse business owners whom they know, without a doubt, bring something special to your African Safari. It may be a hot air balloon ride over a herd of elephants in Kenya, or a view of nocturnal activity around the waterhole from the vantage point of an observation deck at your tree hotel.
Throughout their product offerings African Travel Inc. has established relationships with local members of the community who warmly welcome you into their homes—another 'extra' that creates singular impressions and memories for a lifetime.
