I think, they were quite prompt in getting back whenever I had questions. They were comprehensive in telling us about vaccines, packing and general info. My contact Megan was easy and pleasant to speak to.

They helped support us through every transfer so that we did not have to navigate that on our own. In particular - there had been terrible floods in and around Nairobi May/June 2024 and this affected a ton of details for part of our trip. They handled all of that to create a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives

I cannot fault the service of Roaming Africa. We have never been to Africa before and we’ were apprehensive about flying into Jo’Burg but were met by representatives and directed to our hotel. This trend was the norm for our whole trip.

This was my first time using a travel experience expert and they made our dreams come true. I cannot suggest them highly enough, especially for people who have no experience traveling to Africa and are overwhelmed with suggestions and options like I was. The process in selecting what was important in our travels and the experiences we were looking for was easy and straightforward. Meg then walked us through our options and what fit our budget, and then Lauren handled our travel preparation and updates. The Roaming Africa team was so helpful in answering our all question, providing information for all the activities, and making sure we felt confident in our schedule. This trip was a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget and we absolutely recommend Roaming Africa for all our friends and family.
