“A perfectly organized trip through regions that very seldom see tourists.”

This was not an ordinary safari trip – it was more like an expedition. We travelled through the Central African Republic and the Republic of Congo, with an additional short stint into the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The pre-trip communication with Chalo was always fast and concise. They prepared a very detailed document about the trip itself, with a day-by-day planned itinerary. They made it very clear from the start that this trip is not just another African safari – it will be much more demanding physically, and it can potentially require some changes to the itinerary itself due to eventual obstacles, which can’t be predicted in advance. And indeed, there were some minor itinerary improvisations needed, which were handled by Chalo Africa in the most efficient and professional manner.

The whole trip was conducted on the highest professional level. The safety of all the participants was always of paramount importance, and the guides always went out of their way to explain to us the customs and traditions of the local communities which we visited. We were also accompanied by two world-renowned experts in the field of wildlife, so we all learned a lot.

This trip surpassed all my expectations, both in terms of the organization as well as the wildlife seen. I can wholeheartedly recommend Chalo Africa for any more demanding trip to Africa, or to any other part of the world.
