Okavango Delta, Botswana - no fences, where the animals are free to roam and truly be wild - The most amazing place on earth. Amazing people, culture, food and wildlife. By far the best 9 days of my life.

We would highly recommend "Your Private Africa" to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime African adventure. Danielle and I chose YPA because of their impressive organization, consistent engagement and wealth of insight into various countries, resorts and experiences.

I highly recommend Your Private Africa. Nick and Ashley are a pleasure to work with and generously made themselves available to work with me at length, to tailor my safari plans.

Every single logistic detail was figured out for us, and we learned early on that details matter! The places we stayed were luxurious and authentic in equal measure, and we were able to enjoy them 100% without worrying about the planning. It was the trip of a lifetime and we loved every moment.

I knew during the first introduction with Nick that booking with him would result in a trip of a lifetime. The itinerary was perfect. We started in Cape Town and spent two nights in Franschhoek (winelands) before heading off on a safari for six nights.

My husband and I decided it was time to reach into that bucket list and go on our dream trip to South Africa. It was an easy call to make to Nick and Ashley at Your Private Africa. In addition to having a wealth of knowledge about the region, they made sure that each hotel was an amazing experience

Nick planned a truly magical and life changing trip for our family! He listened to all the things we wanted to do, our expectations and then designed our trip, making modifications as needed during the process.

Nick's knowledge of South Africa really was exemplary, but what really made him stand out was his commitment to building a trip that was right for us. He was extremely accommodating of our somewhat last-minute requests at a very busy time of year.

Over the summer I had the pleasure of going to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Nick and Ashley were there for all my group’s needs, from start to finish. They listened to our goals and provided options for the trip of a lifetime.

Nick is, without a doubt, the most amazing and knowledgeable expert on Africa travel that I could ever wish for. The trip was a VIP experience, and was beautifully planned and executed, with insightful experiences, and a variety of amazing local people we met and spent time with.

Using Nick to book our safari to Africa was probably the best thing we could have done! Our trip was fun, seamless and we didn't have to worry about any of the logistics. Nick made sure everything was set up ahead of time and explained everything we needed know before we left.

Planning a trip to Africa seemed like such a daunting task, but thankfully we had Nick to assist us! He helped us to decide what type of trip we wanted to take and then handled everything for us from start to finish. The result was a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

A trip to Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime investment in memories. However, African travel can be intimidating even for the most seasoned international traveler. This is where Nick truly stands alone as your personal planner, designer, and mentor all-in-one.

My family and I visited the Serengeti and we used Nick to plan our trip. He paid great attention to every detail and that careful attention showed up again and again in our 10-day trip. We loved where we stayed, and each place had something unique and different that added to our experience.

From the beginning we felt and were like 100% prepared for the trip. We’ve had all the gear ready for every occasion and everything got used as well! So the trip even topped our experiences.
