September 2011
Greetings!
 South Africa has it all. Our guests are treated to dramatic mountains and wild coastline. Visitors can see the big five, the little five and the 'magnificent seven'. It is home to the world's best land based whale watching, very exiting shark diving and stark but stunning deserts. It's a great place to surf and you can even take a few turns snow skiing. South Africa hosts some of the world's most beautiful vineyards and world-class cuisine. It has cosmopolitan cities and vast tracks of untouched wilderness teeming with wild animals. Whether your travel dreams are grand or your budget small, South Africa has something for you. It's a perfect honeymoon destination (at least CNN, Trip Advisor and The Bachelor think so!), but also has diverse activities that will fill your family vacation with a lifetime of memories.
What does your South African dream adventure look like? Call us and we will work with you to create the perfect trip.
Safari njema,

AAC Client Feedback
It is always rewarding for us to receive client feedback. Even better is when it's paired with photos or videos! We share client photos with you each month in this forum in Traveler's Corner, on Facebook, and on our blog, the Safari Journal. We also periodically share feedback from clients. This has been a great month for enthusiastic feedback, and we didn't want to keep it all to ourselves.
Wendy Salz and her daughter just returned from a family safari to Kenya and Tanzania had this to say about their trip:
WHAT AN AMAZING JOURNEY!!! We are finally back on the right time zone and so dearly cherish the memories we have from our trip.
Thank you all so very much for the most wonderful vacation we could ever have. This was truly BEYOND my wildest dreams! And spending this time with my daughter alone with a guide was truly the best way to do it...
Frank and Gail Civille recently returned from a trip to Botswana and gave us a terrific 'top 10' list of safari highlights (which turned out to be a 'top 11' list!). Here are a few to give you a taste:
2) the exceptional quality and knowledge of the camp guides...
3) the "thrill of the hunt", especially when successful;
10) Victoria Falls were magnificent and beyond description, which no ground photo can really capture its breadth...
To see the entire 'top 10' list, check out our blog.
Looking for your journey of a lifetime? Call us and we'll make it happen for you!
