African Leap Safaris  レビュー 

We just returned from a six week African extravaganza experience. This was our third visit to Africa, all professionally curated by Helen Kirby. From Tanzania to Kenya to Kruger National Park to Cape Town this trip, like the previous two, was meticulously planned and executed. And if something should go wrong mid trip, it always felt like Helen was metaphorically looking over our shoulder since she often knew of an airline cancellation or a weather issue before anyone else, and she would have an alternate plan in place before we had a chance to worry. Great communication skills, great knowledge of every place she recommends, and very fun to work with.
No hesitation: Highly recommended.

Helen did an incredible job tailoring our South African safari (and beyond!) to our desired experience, timeline and budget. My group of four stayed at the Motswari Private Game Reserve and it was a magical experience! Helen lined us up with a quick night of lodging in Johannesburg ahead of our safari (to fight off jet lag coming from the States), booked our R/T flights in and out of Hoedspruit, booked us at the spectacular Motswari lodge, and also arranged private transportation everywhere in between. Simply put, she made our adventure simple to navigate AND outright special. She even provided a thoughtful surprise or two for us along the way. She was quick to communicate and check in with me to make sure we were well taken care of the entire visit. We WILL be going back to Africa in the coming years, and when we do, we'll be using Helen's expertise and organization for our trip. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Helen and African Leap Safaris more highly enough. Helen listened to us carefully and understood how we wanted to organise our trip. Her suggestions were unique and wonderful and everything was exactly as she had predicted. Even on site, Helen always supported us from afar and was immediately available. We will certainly organise our next trip to Africa with Helen again. A thousand thanks for an unforgettable time!!

An amazing trip with superb design, coordination and daily monitoring from Helen. Great hotel, tour & restaurant recommendations that matched perfectly with our profile & preferences. Everything worked out smoothly and on time. An awesome trip tailored for us, full of amazing memories. Thanks so much Helen!

Top marks for Helen in arranging an incredible experience for my family. Helen was amazing at listening to my requirements and identifying a couple of matches for me to consider. Made my choice easy. The whole process was professional and the trip went off without a hitch. THANK YOU HELEN

I have traveled for business my entire adult life - millions of miles, hundreds of hotels. I know this life better than most. The trip Helen arranged for my wife and me was amazing. Every single detail carefully looked after. I can’t say enough or recommend her more enthusiastically.

Helen is amazing! She planned our trip down to the smallest detail, and made sure we didn’t miss anything. Her knowledge and expertise, as well as her quick responses to questions before and during our stay, made her a pleasure to work with.
I highly recommend her and wish there were more travel agents like her.

The whole family had a great experience. Helen was very knowlegable about the locations and all the arrangements worked perfectly allowing us just to get on and enjoy ourselves.

Helen came to us through our Good Family Friend as he has been working with her for a while. My daughter and I along with Him and his colleague went to South Africa for 2 weeks. This was the first time for my daughter and I. Helen took care of the Safari part of our trip and the Lodge we stayed at (Makanyi) was Wonderful. I didn’t have anything to compare it to but my friend did and he loved it. We were blown away with our experience. It was the best trip of my life. Helen will take care of you and I will be back with her again hopefully for another memorable trip. Thanks Helen!

Helen co-ordinated our fantastic trip to Malawi and Zambia this summer. She channelled her passion for Africa into ensuring we had the best time - listening to what we wanted to see and learn - the animals and birds are a (wonderful)given, but we also wanted to learn about the people and history and politics and the environment. And she helped bring all of that alive in a well-paced hugely varied itinerary. She is also so quick to respond, provide any back up advice etc. Definitely a 5 star experience

Helen and her team planned a wonderful Greece vacation for our family. Everything was seamless and it was an incredible experience. The planning was thorough but efficient, and everything went exactly as planned. There was proactive communication throughout and the vacation totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!

We just returned from our honeymoon in Kenya and Rwanda, planned by Helen of African Leap Safaris, and there are simply no words for how perfect and seamless our trip was. I quite literally did not have to think for myself for 2 weeks - Every single need was anticipated, pre-planned, and seen to.

From the moment we landed in Nairobi, we had a VIP escort who saw to our bags and ushered us through the visa process. This was the case in Kigali as well, and for our return flights. We were escorted from the airport to our hotels by our tour guides, and given thorough briefings on our itinerary that left nothing to question (which, as someone who is quite Type-A, I loved).

Every single person along the way was kind, friendly, and helpful, bringing Helen's thoughtful planning to life flawlessly. And along the way, we knew Helen was thinking of us. Before our return to Nairobi, we received alerts of protests and simultaneously received an email from Helen, reassuring us that she'd spoken to her ground handlers about what was going on, gauged the situation, and immediately assuaged any safety concerns before we even had a chance to wonder if there was an issue!

It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience - One we hope to recreate again when we book our inevitable next trip with Helen. We've already recommended African Leap Safaris to several friends, and know that we'll absolutely refer Helen to more in the future!

African Leap Safaris is the Best! Helen makes sure every detail is taken care of and checks in during trip to make sure everything is going smoothly. Initially, Helen listens carefully to what you want out of the trip and plans accordingly. Helen is personable and easy to work with. She creates an itinerary which is easy to understand and follow. Love working with African Leap Safaris.

Exceptional service! Helen is outstanding & has looked after myself and my extended family for over a decade with our trips to South Africa. Helen is very personable, extremely efficient and knowledgeable & all our trips have gone seamlessly through African Leap Safaris. Without a doubt the best travel agent ever, I highly recommend Helen and the team!

Absolutely FANTASTIC! I am beyond impressed at the professionalism, patience and quality of African Leap Safaris. They handled every single detail and logistic of my trip perfectly, and remained available for in the moment changes with positivity and efficiency. I will definitely be recommending African Leap Safaris to all of my peers interested in visiting Africa!

Working with Helen to plan our “trip of a lifetime” to Africa was incredible. She met every “want” and made suggestions for experiences that we had not read about. So when we decided to go to Africa a second time, we called Helen. We were not disappointed. She is well known and respected at the lodges where we stayed, and our cultural and safari experiences were extraordinary. Helen is an amazing African tour planner. If you are thinking of a trip to Africa, call Helen. You will not be disappointed.

Helen from African Leap Safaris has been wonderful to work with from the start. She is incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant and very professional. I have enjoyed every aspect of working with her on our African Safari trip.

Helen Kirby was the most extraordinary African Tour Planner for our 2 trips to Africa. Helen is is well-known and respected. She was originally recommended to us by a woman who had lived in Botswana for many years. So, I contacted Helen to help plan an African trip that we wanted to take in 2018. In a nutshell, that trip was a trip of a lifetime. During the planning of that trip, as I would bring up ideas for her where I thought we might want to go, she would either totally agree,or gently explain why our idea might be a bit disappointing. Traveling in foreign countries can be stressful, but Helen made it easy for us. We had such a fabulous time on that 2018 trip that, once again, when we wanted to return to Africa, I contacted Helen. Once again we were enthralled by the animals we saw, the fabulous Safari Guides and Trackers, and the gracious and welcoming hospitality of the rest of the Staff at the the
Safari Camps and other lodgings. If you want a fabulous time in Africa, and need an African Travel Planner who really knows what she is doing, I would
recommend Helen Kirby in a heart beat.
