Brilliant Africa Reviews 

The Brilliant Africa makes it very easy to navigate the whole planning process, including viewing and updating our itinerary, learning about our destinations and keeping track of our travel information and documents. They make the whole experience of planning fun and easy. Aly and Tracy got back to me quickly with answer to questions and any additional resources I needed. It was truly a flawless and once in a lifetime experience!!

Our dreams were ambitious, and perhaps stupid. As was our right - how often does a couple get to Tanzania? And for a honeymoon, no less.

Two parks, I said. Serengeti, of course. It was on every nature documentary I'd ever seen growing up. Ngorongoro too. Anthony Bourdain had sold me on that one. The beach, my wife said. White sands. Zanzibar. 9 days total.

Brilliant Africa sent the itinerary. The first night outside Arusha, with a rainforest walk in the afternoon, if we could muster the strength. Then, off to...Manyara? Another park?! Then Ngorongoro, then Serengeti! Ending in Zanzibar!

End to end, our trip was incredible, and thanks to Brilliant Africa, utterly seamless. From the moment we arrived in Kilimanjaro Airport until we were dropped off at Abeid Amani Karume Airport, every moment of necessary planning (pickups at the airport, transportation to the parks, flights between regions, meals, etc.) was accounted for. If there were any issues, we were not aware of them. The hotels they booked for us were all beautiful in their own right, from the dark wood jungle of Arumeru River Lodge, the lushly landscaped Ngorongoro Farm House, the Serengeti wilderness of Grumeti Hills, and the opulence of the Gold Zanzibar. For every factor within their control, Brilliant Africa delivered the best possible experience, and then some. They even left us a few surprises (which I won't spoil here) that made our honeymoon truly special. I don't think either of us could ask for more.

They made the whole experience so easy, from trip suggestions, confirming reservations, communicating on our behalf to the resorts, travel checklists and links to visas and other necessary documents needed.
They were always so quick to respond and super friendly. They made this trip wonderful for us!

Thank you so much Aly and Tracy for organising the best trip of our lives!

Everything was perfect, the lodges, the food, the service and especially the amazing guides Albert and Julius!

We had some of the best sightings ever!

Brilliant Africa looked after every little detail in such a meticulous manner, and made this such a memorable trip! Special thanks to Tracy and Aly!

We stumbled across Brilliant Africa when looking for a Masai Mara Safari on a schedule that would fit with a planned business trip to Kenya. We couldn't have been more pleased. They spoiled us from time of arrival to our departure. The Safari exceeded our expectations, with a most incredible experience in the bush, and in the camp where the service was outrageous. After being home a short time, we have already recommended Brilliant Africa to others who have asked us about our trip and will return to them for our next Africa experience.

A major kudos to the Brilliant Africa team You worked with various partners to create a life-enhancing experience for us. With the deluge of rains and our initial camp being partially washed away as a result, you developed two great options for a Plan B. We think maybe Plan B was better 😊.
The entire Southern Cross Safaris team was extremely professional and wonderful to work with.
All the staff became immediate 'family' at Governors III Moran Camp.
The early morning game drives were amazing, watching the sunrises and the energetic elephants already munching down a bountiful breakfast of fresh grasses. Our Mother's Day Breakfast with the hippos was one for my life-time memory bank. Not to be outdone were the sunsets with a wonderful snack of beverages and treats. Our first sun setter was enhanced when another game vehicle guest lost their ball cap. The lions entertained all of us with a game of 'keep away' with the ball cap.
One our last full day, between morning and afternoon game drives, we visited the Masai village. A wonderful peek into their community with very gracious hosts and hostesses who shared many dances and traditional activities.
Thanks again to the entire team for arranging this amazing experience.

Outstanding attention to detail throughout. The pre-trip briefings were comprehensive. Aly went way over and above to help us with our itinerary through East Africa. The Buhoma Lodge and Gorilla trekking exceeded all expectations. Big thanks to Brilliant Africa and especially Aly.

We had already made a rough plan for our motorbike trip but with Aly's help we significantly improved the experience with her choice of routes and hotels. Brilliant first class service

Alyson Morgan was fantastic at organizing our expedition. Her communication was exceptional. The itinerary was perfect! 5 Stars. Many thanks.

The trip was amazing! A trip of a lifetime! Alyson and Tracy went above and beyond to make sure our group had an amazing trip. I can't say it enough, the trip was seamless. I will forever recommend Brilliant Africa should anyone I know want to experience Africa. They are the BEST!!

Many THANK YOUs to the team at Brilliant Africa! The whole trip was a life-changing experience. Alyson and Tracey were super helpful for our large group. They scheduled zoom calls to help keep us up-to-date on travel requirements and answer all questions we had as we lived in various regions of the U.S.

Absolutely incredible! Our group's adventure to Kenya organized by Brilliant Africa was nothing short of extraordinary. From the majestic safaris they planed for us to the vibrant local culture experiences and seamless airport transports, every moment of our trip and itinerary was filled with wonder and excitement. Brilliant Africa's attention to detail and seamless logistics made our journey hassle and stress-free, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Kenya! They were patient in answering all of our questions, setting up virtual calls with our group, and making themselves available for all of our inquiries. Thank you Brilliant Africa for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommended Brilliant Africa for anyone seeking an unforgettable travel experience!

I used this company to arrange the trip of a lifetime for my 50th birthday. In Kenya. The team at Brilliant Africa was professional, efficient and beyond responsive. Anytime me or one of my friends and family had a question the Brilliant Africa immediately had a response. This was my first trip to Africa and it went off without a hitch. I was so impressed with Brilliant Africa’s level of service that I will be sure to use them for any future travel plans.

Brilliant Africa were amazing from the initial trip planning, to arranging a spectacular trip to making sure the whole 10 days went very smoothly.

We moved around quite a lot and had people join at different parts of the trip and it was handled seamlessly.

We were a large group and had 3 generations of people in the group and everyone had the best time.

Thank you all for you support and dedication to making this a trip of a lifetime.

The flow of the trip was amazing. Everything was perfectly planned at each of our stop. The team at Brilliant Africa was always available for us. Such a perfect once in a lifetime trip.

So great, trip of a lifetime!!

Brilliant Africa, we’re very approachable. Nothing was too much trouble and the people they work with in Africa were all brilliant.
Thank you for making our amazing holiday work so smoothly.

Brilliant Africa helped create the most perfect honeymoon! From the time we put in the inquiry all the way to our return back home, they were so attentive, informative, kind, and so incredibly helpful. They answered all of our questions promptly and gave us all of the tools we needed to get from the US to Africa so that we didn’t have to worry about it while planning our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We wholeheartedly would recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much, Brilliant Africa team!

This is the first time we have worked with another company to recommend and book every aspect of our trip. It worked out great, and we would highly recommend Brilliant Africa to our friends.
