I had the pleasure of meeting Natalie whilst on my first ever visit to Africa. Natalie was very friendly and so passionate about the country and people of Africa. We chatted about my desire to return to Africa, with my entire family, for my 50th Birthday celebrations. I learned then that Natalie had her agency in Dubai, being from Australia, I wasn’t sure if we could make it work, but the more we spoke, the more I knew, Natalie was the person I wanted to help me organise my very special trip to Africa. The planning began about 18months prior to our departure date of Feb 2019. Our Group of 7, ranged in age from 21 to 74. Natalie was amazing from the beginning to the end, planning a holiday of a lifetime that catered for all 3 generations and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Truly a holiday of a lifetime. My brother was a last- minute addition to our trip, (now a group of 8) deciding in December he could attend. They pulled off a miracle, at such late notice, my brother was able to attend.
The trip itself was out of this world. A few of the highlights were, rafting on the Zambezi, a very memorable train trip through the beautiful countryside of Zimbabwe, staying at Camelthorn Lodge, a favourite amongst everyone, with horse riding and game drives and exceptional hospitality. From the beauty and excitement of the Ngamo Plains to the spectacular French influence of Franschhoek, to the hustle and bustle of Cape Town. To finish off at Ants Nest for Rhino spotting and a little relaxing before heading home.
I highly recommend Dubai to Africa for your African experience, no matter where you live in the world!!
