My wife and I have taken 4 trips with Premier all of them have been fantastic. The attention to detail and ease of travel is unparalleled. We like to call it “Idiot proof” luxury travel.
Julian set up the most amazing trip for us! He listened to what I wanted and the amount I wanted to pay and set everything up perfectly. He even gave me the best advice as to when to go. March was perfect!
Botswana, especially, was the place of my dreams. The camps (Tau Pan, Splash, and Lagoon) exceeded all my expectations and there were no hiccups along the way. Everything was perfect.
Best trip EVER!
If I’m ever lucky enough to go back to Botswana, I’d call Julian in a heartbeat. Thank you for giving me the trip of a lifetime!
“It was truly a dream trip and cheers to you for making it all happen flawlessly. Simply put, it was outrageously fantastic!”
“I had very high expectations and I’m happy to say they were exceeded in every way. It all went off like clockwork”.
Eugene Armer, from Julian’s team, planned a terrific Southern Africa trip for us. He accommodated every goal I had going into the process: a variety of safaris, Victoria Falls, time in Johannesburg and Cape Town. He suggested adding Franschhoek which was very nice. Every guide, every transfer, everyone charged with moving us around, was excellent. We packed a lot in and it all went off without a hitch.
There are many reasons why you and your firm are ranked the best in the world every year. Hard work, great people, longstanding relationships with your providers, absolute attention to detail, a can do attitude, and many more attributes.
All the best to the very best!
South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe
