• 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.

• I would highly recommend Experiential Travel as experts in African Travel.

  Neville helped us arrange a magnificent bespoke tour throughout Africa for our group of 4. He was reassuring, patient and knowledgeable in advising us and making suggestions and trying to keep within our budget. Neville thought of everything for us to make it a successful trip. He stayed in touch, regularly, checking in to see how we were enjoying the trip and assisting where necessary. I would highly recommend... Read this review

• Beyond our expectations

  We had planned to do the Horizon horseback safari and the Mozenbique horse ride and the structured itinerary was superb giving us both historical and life today in South Africa. We were amazed at the attractions we were able to see, Table top Mountain, the waterfront, the beaches, the tourist bus, the cities, cultural lifestyles, economical, rural and industrial areas visited.

• 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.

When our bags were left behind in Nairobi, Neville went above and beyond to ensure they found their way to us in the middle of the Serengeti!... Read this review

A chance meeting with Neville however changedeverything! He listened to what I wanted to do, found ways to overcome the obstacles, and madesome great suggestions to produce a truly memorable itinerary! Neville listens to what you want to do, your likes...

• 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 this review

• This experience was truly remarkable

  Our South African trip organized by Experiential Travel and Neville was first class in all respects. Deanie and I have been to Africa and various other countries over the years and this experience was truly remarkable from the start. Small details like all flights and transfers being on time and being met by lovely people who are passionate about hospitality. The first class accommodation in Cape Town, Paarl and...

• ...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 this review

• It was an extraordinary trip.

  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. From touchdown to takeoff in Johannesburg the trip was seamless. We learned that Neville was never far away, whether in Melbourne or travelling; and with boots on the ground in Africa through his partners, he was able to tweak and make... Read this review

• Attention to detail

  Neville did an outstanding job of patiently answering all our pre-trip questions and was a font of knowledge about the landscape, animals, people and culture along the way. 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 this review

• 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.

• A lifetime of memories!

  Experiential Travel has always accommodated me with premium air travel where possible. I’m a big guy, and it’s much appreciated. For me, it makes the trip so much more enjoyable at the start, the end, and in-between. I have also requested single accommodation at times, and again, where possible they have done their best to make it happen. I don’t mind paying a premium for trips that provide a... Read this review

• Valuable pre-trip planning.

  I traveled to Namibia with Neville and a group of photographers last year. One of the most valuable things Neville provided was pre-trip planning. Having never been to Africa, I was unsure of what I should pack for the two week adventure. Neville provided me with the help I needed to make sure everything went smoothly. His knowledge and planning made for a smooth and stress free adventure.

  Evelyn was great, she looked after us really well and her stories from her life in Maun added real depth and reality to our experience.

Please do keep us informed regarding any experiences you may think we would enjoy. (I'm already starting to think about... Read this review

• Fun and truly memorable safari.

  Neville provided valuable and thoughtful advice prior to the trip on matters such as inoculations, luggage parameters (for flights on small planes within the country), recommended clothing, mobile phones and internet access and plenty more. This made for a trouble free and relaxed trip. Above all, Neville made it a fun and truly memorable safari.

• Amazing experience.

  My Neville Jones-curated safari experience was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever had. From the superb guide and the perfectly pitched combination of wild and luxurious accommodation to the amazing depth of tour planning and Nev’s endless patience and depth of knowledge – every aspect of the trip was an amazing experience. In fact, I can feel another trip coming on right about now.

• Can't wait to go again!!

  Africa is even more beautiful than I had ever expected. The Safari (both permanent and mobile) was amazing. Your organisation from start to finish was tremendous and your knowledge of the region meant we traveled to places rich in wildlife. Can't wait to go again!!

• Glamping in Africa was wonderful.

  My husband had completed the overland trip through Africa as a graduate in his mid-twenties and with his first wife. After hearing about the trip for 20+ years I wondered if we would ever be able to undertake a trip to Africa that belonged to us and would become a shared memory of adventure and excitement. Neville set up an itinerary and activities that far exceeded our expectations. The... Read this review

• I would happily recommend Experiential Travel.

  I had a memorable experience with Experiential Travel, visiting Namibia in with a group of 14 photographers on a two week trip. The venture was a notable success and I would happily recommend Experiential Travel to others for two principal reasons. Firstly, Neville Jones is an experienced international award winning photographer who lead the trip in person and based our itinerary on his many prior visits to the country... Read this review

• Far exceeded our expectations.

  Thank you very much for making the recent Madagascan adventure available to us. We were completely blown away by the scenery, the wildlife, the people and the accommodation. These far exceeded our expectations. It was impressive to see how industrious the people were, there was food available everywhere, but all produced by human toil. Our guides were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating, and gave us a great insight into... Read this review
