If you want an exceptional African safari experience then book with Deeper Africace An African safari is the dream trip for many of us - but with so many choices (e.g. where in Africa? What time of year?) it can be overwhelming. Deeper Africa has won numerous prestigious awards throughout the years, and I now know why. They made planning and trip preparation easy, and their guides were phenomenal. Deeper Africa made our dream become a reality. Karen and her team help guide you through the decision process with an overview of the African continent and the types of wildlife one can expect to encounter in each country, as well as the various lodging options and level of service and pricing. After you have booked, the team helps you prepare for your trip with visa and flight assistance, and lots of detailed information on what you will need to bring - and to answer any questions you might have -no matter how many times you ask. It's when that big day finally arrives, that you find out that this company really knows how to deliver an exceptional experience. We were met at the airport by in-country staff and our guides (for our large group of 11, we had 2 guides). Everyone in our group was so impressed with their knowledge and experience, showing and teaching us about Africa, sussing out those animals who didn't want to be seen, and making each day special. Tears were shed when it came time to say good-bye and head home. And no worries, the office staff (in-country and back in the US) are available should problems arise during your trip. We had one very small misunderstanding when we checked in at one lodge on a Saturday night local time, but a text/email to Karen and everything was sorted within the hour from 9 time zones away on a weekend! If we get another chance to go to Africa, we will certainly be calling Deeper Africa once again. Thank you Karen - one and all!

When you prepared this years tour for us it was even easier than before ( which was pretty darn easy) When you prepared a tour for us for 2019 we had the trip of a lifetime! Or so we thought. Hard to imagine that this trip this February was even better! Everything was coordinated seamlessly and the resorts and our guides were second to none.

If you are going on an African safari, then you must use Deeper Africa. Deeper Africa spent the time with us to understand what we were looking for and delivered. They took care of everything! The places/camps we stayed at were top-notch - unbelievable service and the food was fantastic. Our guides, John Mndolwa and Ammy Nnko, were truly amazing. Our trip was more than we ever expected and cannot thank Deeper Africa and their amazing team enough. Can't wait to use them again on our next adventure!

Kenya - Great trip, but difficult to set up It was difficult to speak with a knowledgeable person when setting up the trip. The person who answered the phone could rarely answer our questions. Also, we did not think that having the same guide drive us around for two weeks optimized our experience. We missed out on having the diversity of guide expertise that we would have had by using the guides at each camp.

The care that was put into every leg of… The care that was put into every leg of our adventure was careful and detailed. Anyone with whom we came into contact on the lodging/guide side of things was prepared for us and genuinely welcoming. This includes having been met at the airport in Maun, Botswana. Camp hosts in particular were informed of our limited needs (including a dietary restriction) and were graceful in accommodating them. This was our second adventure with Deeper Africa -- the first being ten years ago in Tanzania. There was a risk in it being not as spectacular, since Tanzania was awesome. But the Botswana adventure was wonderful.
