“We wanted a trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe that...”

Written on: 29/03/2013 by clairepfau (1 review written)

We wanted a trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe that would include the outstanding beauty and character of the country, major cities and an interaction with people, exotic animals in interesting places and a chance to feel a part of the Safari experience, Victoria Falls and a trip on a train across South Africa. Opulent Africa managed to get us all of these and more. As we landed in Johannesburg we were met with representatives from the local tour group, put into a van and whisked off to our... (read more)

“Excelent experience”

Written on: 28/02/2013 by sachinder

Jacqui did a wonderful job in organising our dream safari. There was no hiccup anywhere at all. The properties she selected were perfect; the food was excellent; the staff and the guide were very accomodating and knowledgable. She picked an upscale lodge, a permanent tented lodge and a mobile tent. (The tents are very luxirious, about 15 ft by 30 ft, with own bath rooms, tubs and showers ). What an excellent idea! We got the feel of real Africa, from staying in luxury to staying in the... (read more)

“New Year in Funzi Island, Kenya 2012/13!!!”

Written on: 13/01/2013

Another fantastic holiday organised for us by John and Jacqui from Opulent Africa. Two years ago we wanted to go on a safari, a friend recommended Opulent Africa. We had the most amazing time. Last year (2012), as the English summer was non-existent we decided (belatedly - October)to have some winter sun and chillax. We returned to Opulent Africa and again, John and Jacqui arranged a fantastic holiday for us in Funzi Island, Kenya. We took our shoes off the moment we arrived and didn't put... (read more)

“They Did It Again”

Written on: 12/01/2013 by loveafrica

My wife and I just returned from our 6th vacation to Africa in the last 10 years, the last 2 with the help of Opulent Africa. I initially found them online, and after corresponding by phone and email, we came up with a trip to Vic Falls and Botswana last year for 8 of us. Our itinerary included multiple lodges, flights on charter planes from one camp to the next, multiple transfers, etc. and everything went off without a hitch. We all agreed that it was the best vacation any of us had ever... (read more)

“Safari through the Tanzanian Nat'l Parks”

Written on: 10/11/2012 by fox88 (1 review written)

My wife and I planned this safari as we turned 70. The Parks , guides and accommodation were all first class . We saw and photographed pretty much every animal , flower and bug in Africa . Manyara was lovely and green but one can't see the flamingoes very well from 3 kms . I'm pretty sure Opulent couldn't fix the Entry Visa goat rope at JRO but it would be nice if they could be obtained without mailing the Tanzanian Embassy our passports . It would also be very nice if the Tanzanian Park... (read more)

“A trip of a lifetime (so far)”

Written on: 22/10/2012 by gmcshea (1 review written)

We gave the fhe folks at Opulent Africa a list of things we wanted to do in Africa and our time frame , and they put together a fantastic vacation for my wife and I. We started in Zambia for Victoria Falls, did a three day safari at Ulusaba Rock Lodge, the Capetown area for four days and a ride on the Blue Train to finish up. Every hotel they arranged was exceptional, and the represetatives that met and transferred us at each stop were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Our contacts at... (read more)

“Namibia - A Wilderness Waiting for You”

Written on: 03/10/2012 by EVarley (1 review written)

Opulent Africa just organized a two and half week trip touring Namibia for me. As a single traveler this was stepping out of my comfort zone as Namibia is wild and lonely place. I was delighted by the attention to detail that the consultants paid to my itinerary. All my requests and needs were met with professional courtesy by all the Opulent Africa team prior to departure. The tour went without a hitch. All my flights, connections, camps and arrangements were perfect. I had a wonderful time... (read more)

“Celebrating Happy 60th in Borana instyle with Opulant...”

Written on: 10/09/2012 by dianarhoward (1 review written)

Exclusive, safely adventurous, sumptuous Laragai House and our safari in Borana, Kenya satisfied every possible desire - Our family party viewed 40 different variaties of the great animal kingdom in beautiful northern Kenya in early September. We viewed the landscapes of the bush and the forest surprisingly green after a short downpour during our otherwise sunny, hot days and deliciously cool nights. We ate beautifully cooked meals on lookout teraces, in the bush, and home at night in our... (read more)

“Dream Family Holiday!”

Written on: 07/09/2012

We had a wonderful family holiday in Kenya. We started in Nairobi, staying at Ole Sereni hotel. The hotel was lovely, new, with great location next to game park and outside of the city traffic. We visited 3 different camps for safaris, and they each were unique camps, different climates and landscapes. The first location was Sosian Ranch in Laikipia. A more remote area, smaller camp, but very personal touch by all the staff. They had the largest variety of activities and with a 10-year... (read more)

“A dream come true!!”

Written on: 09/08/2012 by kathybarnett (1 review written)

Somehow I found Opulent Africa online and took a leap of faith and had them organize a specialize safari to Victoria Falls and South Africa for our family of six. We were all thrilled with our "trip of a lifetime". We spent about 8 months getting the six of us in one spot for two weeks and the effort was worthwhile. John and Jacqui are amazing agents, very personable, precise and most of all helpful! They know Africa and they are able to give excellent advice whenever we needed it. All... (read more)

“Perfect! Very Personal Service!”

Written on: 07/08/2012 by LDNawn (1 review written)

I have just returned from a 17 day Safari journey with my two teenage daughters. I began planning this trip over a year ago and spoke with numerous safari planning companies, including some very well known large international groups. I won't mention the names of those companies here, but I was very disappointed in their willingness to be flexible and plan a safari that was tailored to my specific needs. From my first communication with John @ Opulent Africa, right through to the many... (read more)

“FABULOUS VCATION Thanks to Opulent Africa”

Written on: 18/07/2012 by bellelover

Opulent Africa coordinated our safari in Zambia as well as a visit to Victoria Falls. Of all the tour operators we talked to Opulent Africa was the most organized and flexible in terms of meeting our needs. We never had a moments worry. We were met promptly at all juncture points by our drivers. Our special dietary need of gluten free meals for one member of the family were arranged. But most importantly the accommodations and safari were FABULOUS. There was no need that was unmet! (read more)

“Trip of a Lifetime”

Written on: 15/07/2012 by KMRenshaw

Opulent Africa coordinated our safari through Botswana and Zambia. We traveled to 4 different camps within 2 countries. Every detail was thought about and the traveling was smooth. We never had to worry about anything which enabled us to focus on enjoying our journey. They provided us a great deal of information prior to our departure which proved to be a true asset while on travel. We had to delay our trip by 2 days due to a hurricane. We called Opulent Africa and they got our travel... (read more)

“Highly Recommended”

Written on: 11/07/2012 by ferris901

Our itinerary with Opulent Africa was everything and more than we expected. We were very impressed with their pre trip information and help as well as during the trip. Our safari to Lion Sands was superb and we were met and transferred everywhere without issue. Then on to Kenya and Rwanda being the highlight doing 2 gorilla treks (recommended by them) was perfect. It was a wonderful experience made even better by their professional help. I would recommend them to everyone. Bev & Graeme... (read more)

The gorilla experience is unlike anything I have ever done, and this resort is perfect to recuperate from it. The gorilla experience is physically demanding but for anyone who can do it, it is positively life changing. (read more)

“The most fantastic trip ever”

Written on: 04/07/2012 by Markwapnick

I cannot describe how perfect our trip to Africa was! Opulent made everything happen just as we wanted it to. There were no glitches. Every detail was thought through and accomplished so the only thing we were required to do was enjoy the trip of a lifetime. I cannot say that there are not other companies that could do as well, but I can say that in my mind it could not have been done any better. From first contact through to final follow-up, everyone at Opulent was incredible in every way.... (read more)
