Kenya Safari Client Feedback --------------------- Kenya Safari Client Feedback
------------------------------------------
We just love to receive feedback from our guests! Especially when accompanied by the most incredible photos and kind words! Our guest took full advantage of the unusual high season in Kenya and had the most incredible (and safe) safari!

Velislav sent us these kind words: "One of the most (if not the most) well organized safari I've ever had. Due to the Corona virus situation the organization had some extra challenges (making PCR tests, unclear flight schedule and lodges openings, borders closing, short organization time, etc.), but Michelle did an excellent job. I didn't have to worry about anything, there was always someone guiding me to the next step. All I had to do is to enjoy the experience, and I did enjoyed a lot indeed. Highly recommend"

And here are a selection of his incredible photos! Makes you want to get out and explore Africa for yourself!

Rovos Rail epitomises luxury train travel, offering travellers a journey through Africa in magnificent style. There can be no grander way to travel! 

Rovos Rail regularly puts together incredible journeys and their brand new Copper Trail Luxury Journey is certainly incredible!  This new luxury train tour starts in Victoria Falls and journey’s north through the beautifully diverse landscapes of Zambia, southern DRC and Angola, following the copper mining belt. Once in Angola, travel on the Benguela Railway, built to carry copper to the coastline of Angola. 

This tour has highlights like a sunset cruise on the Kafue River, a visit to a working copper mine, walking tours to discover a remote and beautiful part of Angola. And did we mention a safari? You will spend 3 nights off the train in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, where the game viewing is out of this world and the scenery, sunsets and smiles are welcoming. 

The Rovos Rail Copper Trail runs from Victoria Falls to Lobito on the Angolan coast, and back again. They are only doing 2 trips, in mid-2022 and mid-2023. This 15 day tour will be one to cherish for years, contact us to book if you are a train aficionado, love luxury and fancy a safari with a difference!
