Journey to Africa Safaris - Planning life-changing Safaris to Eastern and Southern Africa. Life Worth Exploring!

"We visited Tanzania in September 2002. Mefi arranged a perfect itinerary for us which included great camps, And wonderful guides. The trip created wonderful memories. I was delighted to visit her website today and find that her business is going strong after more than two decades!"

"Thanks Mefi for the amazing experience we had in ticking off one of the bucket list items for us. It was a very well planned and executed trip. Being a group of 12 couples with 24 heads and 24 different needs /wants and to be satisfied in the end is not an easy feat to achieve. Mefi was always very patient in organising countless meetings planning and answering our questions. The locations of the tents were spectacular and ecofriendly (giving us a sense of doing something right to the preservation of nature in a way). The jet lag helped me stay awake at night and enjoy the flaps of the birds wings, the hippo pairs conversations and the sounds of all different animals. The food was locally grown and very tasty. The guides were at our call at all times and very knowledgeable. Special shoutout to "Godwin" in Ngorongoro who knew exactly where to find the lions and any animal that we wanted to see. The ride from the Gibbs farm(Best place to stay in Ngorongoro) to the base of the crater was one thrilling ride. It was so foggy and to see Godwin drive thr that (avoiding the animals) was a thrilling sight. Overall, we were glad that we picked up the best one amongst the countless Safari organisers. We would to love to go back to see the birthing season some day and would look no further than the "Journey to Africa". Asante Sana from all 24 heads.....and hearts."

"We returned from our African Safari about three months ago. We had looked at a few different tour operators before deciding to go with Journey to Africa. We were a group of about 12 people and Mefi built up and customized our itineraries based on our individual requests and needs. We visited Masai Mara, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro crater, and have some very good memories about the trip. We saw many different animals(including the Big 5, hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, impalas, elands, Thomson’s and grants gazelles etc) and many wild birds in their natural habitats, as well as the Great African wildebeest migration. The highlight of our African Safari were the highly knowledgeable guides who were very friendly and accommodating, and could spot animals from a far distance. We stayed in the migration camps, and the local staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a once in a lifetime, very memorable trip."

"I've worked with Mefi on 3 different African safaris and she has been great to work with, easy to communicate with, flexible with my special requests, and understanding of my constant questions. She managed to even get me better prices for the same places than some other lodges. I keep coming back to her since I know she will help build the best trip for me."

"We learned about Mefi and Journey to Africa from folks we met on a Viking Ocean Cruise..bucket list questions led to the referral. I contacted Mefi and, through a few conversations, she put together a fantastic trip plan that met our objectives and budget. We visited 5 parks in Tanzania with a pre-safari visit to Victoria Falls. Everything went like clockwork..with one exception..a flight change/delay that she quickly addressed and solved. In retrospect, the trip exceeded our expectations in every area..the parks were awesome..our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and eager to ensure that we had the very best safari experience. And, Mefi was checking on our trip at every stop to make sure all was proceeding as planned. In short, our trip simply could not have been better and we strongly recommend Journey to Africa and Mefi if, like us, you're objective is a great safari experience and you want to leave the planning to an expert!"
