Quote/testimonial

Thank you Tracy for putting together a trip of a lifetime! I had an amazing experience in the Serengeti. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend Falcon Africa for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Africa. 

Allan has been booking our African holidays for 20 years. Every booking is flawlessly executed and we have been to many places off the beaten track. Would highly recommend Falcon Africa.


We had the most AMAZING time. Thank you, Tracy, for all your assistance. Seeing the Migration has left an indelible mark with us. It was awesome to see thousands & thousands of wildebeest and zebras in one area. Thank you, Falcon Africa,  for all your assistance and in this time of Covid. We would do it again tomorrow!

As always, another one you pulled off for me. THANK YOU!!!

Dear Tracy and Allan

 Great feedback below from my clients, Brian & Kathryn. Thanks to you both for all of your patience on this booking, I am thrilled it finally went ahead and they loved it!!

This is from Brian
"The entire trip was fabulous, but on the ground both in Rwanda and Uganda what really helped make it so memorable was the skill, patience , knowledge and good humour of our guide and driver, Etienne.

Kathryn was similarly impressed with the depth of his knowledge on so many subjects, always happy to answer our many questions on local history, culture, people, wildlife, etc. Everywhere we went people seemed to know him and greet him warmly. 
Once again, many thanks for organising such a stunning trip!"

Feedback below from my client about the trip you booked - THANK YOU!

"First off, your careful and creative attention to our recent trip is really unmatched in my view. It's hard to explain to people how complicated the logistics are for this type of trip, and everything ran like clockwork. Each of the three times you have now organized a trip for me, my gratitude for your excellent work increases. Truly, there was not a worry or problem once again. Having not been to the Serengeti before, I was completely blown away by the topography and beautiful rock formations where Lamai is located. Our guide, Joe, was a lot of fun, informative, and quite good....more on that in a few. The camp is, in a word, STUNNING. The expansive view across the Serengeti, watching the sunrise, seeing the changing light throughout the day were all breathtaking for me. Our accommodations were excellent, beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Little details were noticed. All of the staff here, including our guide, were so professional and friendly, attentive to any request."

From my client, Pam. Thank you, Falcon Africa:

"I can’t echo Lisa’s praises about our trip logistics enough.  We were thoroughly impressed by your planning and choices once again.  We loved all the camps and also enjoyed all the special experiences and people.  It was great that we were able to be with Lisa and Lyn much of the time- another logistical feat.  And special thanks to you for making our accommodations not too far from the main areas"

Dear Tracy

 Just to let you know Lydia and Tiffany had a super time, they loved their trip

 Thanks again for arranging it!

From Niko - thank you!

"We had a great time. The gorilla were just awesome. The lodge is great. The foot is broken - in a moon boot. Thanks very much. Well organized."

Dear Tracy,

We had a wonderful time in South Africa, Clara and I want to thank you warmly for your exceptional organization. 

Dear Tracy,
You organized one of my best vacations, thank you very very much for this memorable experience.  My head is full of wonderful images, my body is full of great sensations and I brought back a superb album of pictures to remember these precious moments.

Hi Allan  & Tracy,

Here is some great feedback from my clients who viewed the Migration earlier this month.

The client has returned and has thanked us for a holiday of a life time.

She said all was seamless, she had the time of her life.Thank you for all your assistance in making this possible.

Dear Alan and Tracy

Please see below great feedback from my client, Alan:

 "Please convey our sincere thanks to everyone at the lodge  about the wonderful way that they looked after us, both on the way to and return from the lodge, and at the lodge.  The level of service at all times was superb.Thank to you for finding such a great spot.  It was an experience of a lifetime."

The very best holiday of my life! Wow! Thank you, Falcon Africa!

Allan, thank you for all your help.  It was certainly a holiday of a lifetime and one we will not forget! - now to wade through all the photos to try and make some sort of record!

Dear Tracy

 What a wonderful trip we had!! (Aug / Sept 23)
Everything went like clockwork, thanks to your organisation, even the wildebeest obliged with their timing.

We loved both camps (Governors Main and Little Governors), and were lucky to have an outstanding guide (Joseph Musa) for the whole time we were there.

It was a most exciting and memorable holiday.
Thank you!


Tracy

We had the best best time and cannot thank you enough.  Everything worked v v efficiently and the level of instruction from the guide was remarkable.  He is also extremely enthusiastic which made our trip so terrific.   And the GAME - my word….we are speechless.  We ended up going on the hot balloon and it was out of this world.  The sightings were simply unbelievable.  
Thank you for this extremely memorable holiday.

Ann
PS now I need to know if you do the gorillas?  or other nice areas you can suggest?

It really was a trip of a lifetime. It worked so well in every respect starting with your very professional service.
Everything ran so smoothly – it was organised so well by you.

Thank you very much.
