"Anthony is a rare find, his dedication to providing his clients with professional yet very personal service was amazing. Our Daughter had the pleasure of having Anthony arrange a work related getaway & was so impressed with his service that she convinced my Husband & I to use him to arrange a Family birthday celebration in the bush which we would normally have done ourselves. I am so glad we did, we were definitely not the easiest of clients as we have travelled extensively and were looking for unique experiences which he provided well beyond our expectations. He arranged 3 different lodges, each with their own unique charm. The personal service we received from each lodge was exceptional. If you are looking for someone to take all the hassle out of planning your trip, someone who is obviously passionate & very focused on providing his clients with top notch, personal service - you must use African Routes."

"I was looking to do first safari on a whim and by whim it was a week’s notice. I hadn’t realise how expensive it was to do a solo safari and was about to give up and the sheer number of lodges also made it quite overwhelming to decide. That’s when I came across African Routes on Instagram. I dropped Anthony an email telling him my budget and situation and he replied really promptly within an hour or two with a clear suggestion. He also quickly shared information on WhatsApp. He even helped me check on the rates for different dates and get a slightly better rate on one night. I appreciated that he narrowed the choice so clearly for me which reduces decision fatigue. I decided to book it and it was a mind blowing experience. The lodge was amazing, the guides were great and all rounded brilliant experience. I only now realize on hindsight what a steal the special rates were for what they offer. It was a really seamless experience! Thanks Anthony!"

Tammy

"I stumbled upon African Routes by chance on Instagram and am so happy I did. Just before Christmas and not sure of our plans and not knowing the area we were looking at, Anthony was phenomenal...answered all my questions, kept me updated about our booking all the time. The place where we stayed was outstanding, warm but discreet service, every finish thoughtfully considered, leaving you wanting for nothing. Anthony followed up afterwards to ensure we enjoyed our experience and we have already booked our next holiday through him. Honest, professional service!"

Bianca

"Anthony arranged our amazing getaway. He initially provided me with several options in terms of pricing and location. He was very patient with all my questions. Once we decided, he secured us the exact room that we had requested. His pricing was honest and in line with the special offer directly from the lodge. He liaised directly with the lodge on our behalf when I had told him that we were experiencing car trouble and would arrive later than expected. Anthony is very professional and I'm looking forward to booking some more trips in the future."
