Testimonials

“I am now back in my real world and would just like to say what a fantastic time we had on the Southern Cross trip. We thoroughly enjoyed it, did not find it too demanding and are looking forward to an opportunity to travel with you again. AIF will be a company that we would recommend to any friend considering a similar trip. We must also recognise the efforts of all the crew - Jacques, Joe and William - who all worked 24/7 to ensure a successful journey."

“We (family of 5 (3 children) have just recently completed our overland tour from Nairobi to Vic Falls. In short the whole family had a very nice, different and exciting vacation this year. Lots of new experiences and new acquaintances (There were indeed lots of highlights - nature, animals, people, food - GREAT). What I will stress again here is how pleased we all were with the crew. They certainly made this 4 weeks journey a most enjoyable experience. In our opinion the three guys made a very good team covering all we needed. Their behavior, always prepared to help and do the best out of anything, their friendliness and knowledge and what appeared to us their genuine interest in the passengers was great. I can assure you that we have not been scared off doing another overland trip another time. And compared to other trucks we saw, there shouldn't be any doubt that we would again choose the same company."

“A fantastic truck, fitted out to a far far higher standard than the others you see on the road. A dedicated chef and knowledgeable guide, ensured that we missed out on nothing.

The library, photographic content and lectures were great and the inclusion of a best of pictures CD at the end ensures that you will have some of the best memories around.

You can recline and stretch out, look out of the windows on either side and wave to the kids on the road or just view the stunning scenery, not sit cramped in a row facing inwards at your compatriots.

You are also accompanied with sensible, mature people; not gap year students etc, living on a shoestring and the associated behaviours.

Highly recommended, I will be doing another trip with them, no doubt about it."

"All the crew gave 100% of themselves everyday and their friendly,helpful and tireless efforts to ensure everyone enjoyed their experiences in Africa, was my most valued part of the trip. Huge,roomy tents and comfortable mattresses made camping a luxury experience. I slept better travelling through Africa like this than I have in hotels for business. Thank you for such a rewarding and insightful travel experience through Africa."

"My best holiday ever! Great itinerary with lots of wonderful places and terrific activities! Excellent truck, equipment and crew: the very best safari cook ever."

"We truly had a wonderful trip: your vehicle is just superb, in fact unique as there isn't another like it! It was the quality of the equipment, the small size of the groups, and the high quality of the staff that appealed to us. We almost signed on with another group, until I discovered they were expecting to put 30 people on a truck no bigger than yours and certainly not as well designed. Thanks for a great experience."

“Good mattresses, big tents, comfy camp chairs and plenty of secure storage space – our Africa-in-Focus truck was the envy of many.”

“Having spent over 50 years leading expeditions I cannot fault Africa-in-Focus – the schedule went like clockwork, every need catered for, amazing truck and the best bush cooking I have ever had. I was very impressed!”

“Without doubt, the best truck in the business. I think people tend to ignore this biggest part of the trip and should investigate this aspect more.”
