Jennifer Yount — 5 We have used Extraordinary Journeys twice for a Safari trip to Kenya and most recently on our trip to South Africa. Our trip advisor gave us honest and dependable advice on how to maximize our time there. Our travel itineraries were perfect for our families needs. The ground travel was fantastic and dependable. Our lodging was beyond our greatest expectations with each camp offering a unique experience. We felt safe and welcomed as family at each lodge we stayed at. The trip was perfectly coordinated and we did not encounter a single glitch in our itinerary. Our travel coordinator also reached out to us several times to insure that we were happy and enjoying our vacation of a lifetime. We love Africa and will use EXtraordinary Journey for our next trip.

Travel changes us each time and we believe in creating trips that have that same lasting effect on you. Every journey is unique For that reason, we understand the importance of curating a trip as unique as you. No two itineraries are ever identical because everyone’s interests, comfort levels and senses of adventure are different. We are a team Perhaps because we were founded by a mother-daughter team, we care about each other and work together like a family. This means you have the brain trust of the entire company collaborating on your trip instead of an individual. We have been there We place a premium on education. Every year, our team spends a combined 9+ months on the ground researching new camps, tracking wildlife trends, and identifying the best guides for your safari. We care about you You’ll never find us bragging about the number of people we send to Africa each year or referring to clients in terms of volume or buying power .

We love a bargain too We translate our relationships on the ground, knowledge across Africa, and practicality into a trip that offers exceptional value for your money and fun surprise ‘value adds’ along the way.
