Personal recommendation
Here’s what one client had to say: “Where do we start? The entire team has been absolutely wonderful from the beginning to the end of our trip! All logistics, including flights, transfers, guides, lodges and everything in-between that was handled by Ker & Downey Africa was simply put first-class! There are no words of appreciation for those who helped us to get the most wonderful African experience and what seemed at first effortlessly organised, but their knowledge and skilful customer service were put to the test, and it was a privilege to watch how they navigated through the most challenging African hick-ups, which is nothing to take lightly. Your customer service is truly unparalleled as you have travelled (remotely) with us almost on a daily basis for the past 65 days. Ker & Downey Africa has our hearts, and we highly recommend you to the most demanding and discerning travellers!”
