“We booked 2 tours with Elroy The SA garden route and the the Namibia camping tour. We hav3 just completed the garden route tour which was superb, and hope the Namibian tour will be just as good. Elroy answered all our questions really well and very promptly.He was a joy to deal with even those kept changing our minds about the tour we wanted as we had to fit them within our strict dates.”

“We are first time travellers to southern Africa. We consulted AOT who were able to offer us a variety of tours to choose from within our budget and time parameters. There was no hard selling whatsoever and they were excellent at answering all our questions promptly. This helped us to make our decision. The support has continued throughout, with nothing being too much trouble. Our tour commences on 30/01/2019. Based on our experience we are very happy to recommend AOT.”

“All staff have been very helpfull, answered all my questions and helped me find the perfect tour for me. Even though they were very busy, they always kept me informed of the proces. The only down side was that the tour I picked turned out to be more expensive because the additional costs were written in really small letters so I did not see it. I was dissappointed but they told me they are working on showing this in a different way on the website and helped me find a tour that would fit my budget. Very satisfied!”

“The most helpful and professional tour agents I’ve worked with. Tammy was very knowledgeable and patient with helping me select my African tour. She answered all my questions through Skype and ensured I was well prepared for my camping trip. She was awesom!!. I travelled in Africa for 41 days and oh what an amazing adventure it was! Only improvement opportunity is for African overland tours to be transparent about the tour companies affiliated with each tour. A big thank you for Tammy for all her help! Your patience and professionalism is appreciated a lot!”

“Nicky, from AOT, was extremely helpful in planning our mother / daughter African holiday. We were combining several tours within a tight time frame and Nicky was genuinely interested in listening to our ideas and preferences. Her friendly enthusiasm, local knowledge and tour-guiding experience were invaluable! Most local (Australian) travel agents had never been to Africa, so could only give us a brochure from their limited tour providers. Nicky answered our many questions, explored various tour combinations, negotiated discounts and covered every detail of our trip, including private transfers and visa information! Would definitely recommend AOT.”
