    Our holiday was coordinated by Beverly Akivaga. This lady is a legend, she can do it all. When my wife and I were hoping to combine a business trip with a 30th Anniversary holiday through Kenya (the place of our honeymoon) and Tanzania, we wanted to use an African owned business. We were recommended to try African Hartebeest.

    This is my second booking in less than a year with Beverly at African Hartebeest. She is always very quick to respond to questions! Excellent value for money. Everything just runs so smoothly from start to finish. She’s an absolute delight. The Safari never disappoints!
