This was the very best vacation that my… This was the very best vacation that my wife and I have ever taken. We are in our mid 60’s and have been to many wonderful places. However, we have repeatedly discussed how this trip was the vacation of our dreams. South Africa is a fantastic place and the team at Africa Endeavors couldn’t have done a better job in planning out all of our details.

Amazing experience! I could not have asked for a better planning experience! I have never used a travel agent before, but it was the best money I spent and I will be coming back to Candice Heckel and Africa Endeavours for future travel plans! My fiance and I had to cancel and reschedule our wedding due to COVID-19, and have had to reschedule our dream honeymoon trip to Africa twice now. Although we have yet to actually take our trip, Candice has been incredibly helpful, understanding and accommodating to help us reschedule all of our plans. She had tons of great ideas and has put together an itinerary that we can't wait for!

Great Migration Chimps and Gorillas We did a combination Kenya and Uganda trip with the help of Candice Heckel from Africa Endeavours. The personal service on this trip blew our party of four 55-63 year olds away. We stayed at the Serian Nkorombo tented camp, then flew to Uganda. There we did chimp trekking and gorilla trekking. The tented camp was amazing as were our wildlife sightings with our driver and guide in Kenya. Then we stayed at the beautiful Kyaninga Lodge in Uganda where they personalized on-site activities and even meals for us. We had an entire lake to ourselves for kayaking, swimming and paddleboarding. Then we stayed at the Mahogany Springs lodge where our expert driver/guide (Denis) got us just the gorilla hiking experiences (2 days) that we wanted. Denis also adjusted our schedule as we wished once we were there to allow us even more customization. The guidance through customs and immigration in the airports was awesome and the all the food was amazing. In fact, all of the transfers, travels and check-ins were seamless. Thanks to Candice for making this all happen.

Amazing, personalized trip Everything was great from the very beginning. We were deciding between Australia, New Zealand and Africa for our honeymoon and Laura helped us narrow down our options with sample itineraries, and she took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. We chose Africa and had an unbelievable time. Everything was coordinated and executed perfectly and according to our preferences. We stayed at some unbelievable lodges that we would have never found on our own and fell in love with our safari experience. We were planning a wedding at the same time and we only wish our wedding planner was as responsive, organized, and flexible as Laura. We are looking forward to our next trip!

Had to write a review after my… Had to write a review after my experience. In short, they kept trying to arrange trips that were overpriced by thousands of dollars. I could book the same hotels on basic booking sites for way way less. They also kept suggesting extremely over-the-top hotels when I specfically said I was looking for low key, boutique-style places. I offered up specific examples and they still would say I'm better off at the most expensive places. When I asked why their price quote was $4,000 more than if I booked it myself, they asked for a list of prices I found. I gave them the prices then they said that they can't comment because they offer package deals. I paid them $250 to book my vacation and I booked 100% of my flights, hotels, etc and didn't book a single hotel on their recommendation list. Worked with Katie, who was super nice, but you'd be better off lighting $250 on fire then going on Agoda to book hotels.
