What a pleasure and a privilege to travel with Neville on safari
What a pleasure and a privilege to travel with Neville on safari in Tanzania and Uganda. Like a best-selling novel, an amazing story of nature, people, history and culture unfolded each day. The carefully crafted itinerary provided a wide variety of experiences, leaving indelible memories and emotions. Our best decision was definitely to allow “Experiential Travel” to organise the locations/lodges/guides that delivered exactly what its name states.

Trip of a lifetime
Neville planned a trip of a lifetime for us - never to be forgotten. He carefully listened to our dreams and made them a reality. We felt safe at all times and always knew what the next steps were, thanks to TravelKey.

You considered every detail.
Just wanted to say a huge Thankyou for organising such a wonderful trip. We absolutely loved it, just not long enough for me. You considered every detail. Every camp was different and very unique and luxurious. We were treated like kings and queens which was kind of embarrassing. Africa is most certainly a captivating place and we loved interacting with our fabulous guides.

Exceeded Every Expectation!
We've been waiting to take this trip for 30 years and had a very clear idea of what we wanted to see and do. Neville created an itinerary that incorporated it all and then some; from safari to the great migration to gorilla and chimpanzee trekking to boat rides with hippos and cultural immersion. This trip had it all. Accommodations and experiences were amazing with knowledgable guides and a... Read More

...simply wouldn’t have been possible without Neville.
My grown sons and I had dreamed of a trip to South Africa since they were small boys. Having gotten through the pandemic and with the boys wives both saying it was time to start a family, we all agreed it was now or never. One of my sons is a budding photographer and met Neville through a photography club. When he learned Neville was also the owner of... Read More

Neville has years of African travel experience and proved to be a knowledgeable planner with a keen ability to match a traveler’s personal interests to different itinerary choices.

Planning and executing such a trip requires attention to detail and an appreciation for the individual differences inherent in any travel group. Neville certainly took the stress out of undertaking this type of adventure and incorporated some lovely surprises along the... Read More

Experience of a lifetime.
When the idea of a safari was raised over dinner with friends one evening I was initially hesitant to be involved. I’m not a seasoned international traveller and had heard many stories of the possible dangers in visiting Africa, both cities and country. I am so pleased I was convinced to go because it turned out to be an experience of a lifetime.
