A2A Safaris® - New York

We used Nicole to help us plan our inaugural trip to Africa. She was quite knowledgeable and curated a trip for us that met all our expectations. She was very flexible as we worked out the details, and her recommendations were spot on. She even arranged for the safari camps to honor my husband’s birthday with special celebrations, which he will never forget. We particularly appreciated the planning and logistics work which relieved us of worry and stress. She made herself available to us throughout the trip so we knew we had someone to contact, if needed. We have recommended her to friends and would definitely use her again.

Nicole at A2A has planned 3 safaris for us over the years, and each has been exquisite. She knows the camps and areas and is great at tailoring a trip to meet your needs and desires (for example, she learned we prefer uncrowded areas and found us camps where we saw lots of wildlife with few other people).

Every detail is taken care of - you are met at the airport and never have to worry about logistics. We’ve stayed at beautiful, comfortable camps (some amazingly luxurious), had great guides, and had experiences of a lifetime.

If you've ever thought about going on a safari or visiting Africa, look no further than A2A Safaris. Nicole handled every little detail exquisitely. There were so many logistical details that go into a two week trip with multiple people of varying ages, many flights (both commercial and private), activities, and hotels/lodges. Nicole made the planning easy and fun. This was not the first safari she has planned for us - so we had absolute trust in her direction for the latest and greatest spots to stay. She knows the continent so well and was able to direct us to new properties that had come on the scene since our last vacation... and boy, did they not disappoint! All six of us had the time of our lives. We traveled with older parents and younger siblings and Nicole was able to find places that met everyone's needs and blew away all our expectations. Before we left, we had lots of communication with her so everything was covered and clear and she was quick to respond while we were away, addressing any questions we had in real time. We spent several nights in Cape Town before traveling north to two different safari lodges. Cape Town's wharf, shopping, food and people are so wonderful. Our group especially loved the winelands tour and Cape Peninsula tour as well. Both lodges were epic and the game viewing was top notch. Nicole did an excellent job recommending places and activities that fit everyone's taste and budget.

We couldn't be more pleased with the ease of planning, the professionalism, the personal touches and the real friendship we have with Nicole at A2A Safaris. She's a wealth of information and the gem you want in your pocket when you're planning such an excursion. I can't say enough good things about her. If you're considering a trip, do it now. Don't wait. Seize the moment - this was the trip of a lifetime that won't ever be topped!

We had an amazing time in Chile. The landscape and scenery of the Chilean Patagonia and Atacama is so unique, diverse and remote. Nicole and her team did a great job in organizing our whole itinerary from the airport assistance, ground transfers, restaurant reservations in Santiago, and luxurious accommodations with unique experiences to that region. Overall, highly recommended and would book with them again.

We traveled to Africa (Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana) for the first time and worked with Nicole Fernandez at A2A. We had a spectacular experience. Obviously our primary goal was to see nature and animals and Nicole put together an itinerary that did not disappoint. We were pampered at safe, comfortable and stunning camps and the game drives and activities exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Nicole and A2A.

We recently returned from an unforgettable honeymoon, and we owe it all to the incredible team at A2A, particularly our amazing agent, Nicole. From the moment we first spoke with Nicole, we knew we were in expert hands. She listened to our goals and crafted the perfect itinerary: 3 nights in Cape Town, 6 nights of safari in Botswana and 5 nights in the Seychelles.

Nicole’s expertise was evident in every detail. She provided invaluable advice and ensured that every aspect of our trip was seamless. Our itinerary was complicated but it felt flawlessly planned.

What truly set this experience apart was Nicole’s personalized touch. She made us feel comfortable and confident that we were getting the best possible experience. Her recommendations for local dining, activities, and even the best lodges/dates to see wildlife were spot on. Additionally, she provided great advice on when to spend up vs. spend down. Unlike many agencies, Nicole was truly focused on our budget.

The logistics were impeccable – transfers, flights, and accommodations all coordinated perfectly, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in our honeymoon. Nicole and the team at A2A were always just a Whatsapp away, ready to assist with any question or need.

We cannot thank Nicole enough for her help. This was a trip of a lifetime, and we will cherish the memories forever. We highly recommend Nicole and A2A to anyone looking to plan a special trip.

Our first Safari could not have been planned any more perfectly - the sequencing and choice of camps made each day of our 10 day trip an absolute delight. We ended each day thinking that that day was the highlight of our trip, only to be surprised by more amazing experiences the next day. How do folks say it's a "once in a lifetime trip"? Once you've experienced an expedition planned by Edwin and Lit, you're hooked. Can't wait for our next adventure!

Our experience with A2A Safaris could not have been better - every aspect was perfectly planned and executed. The accommodations at Dulini Leadwood that Nicole with A2A helped us book were spectacular and all of the logistics that A2A set up made for a seamless and stress-free experience. We were greeted at every gate, transported between locations by friendly and professional drivers (Clive in Cape Town was a highlight of our trip!), and overall felt extremely comfortable at every point in our trip. Nicole even helped us find temporary storage for our bags in Cape Town when we realized we had an extended layover and would have one last opportunity to explore the wonderful city of Cape Town. We could not have asked for a better experience!
