Our agent as well as all of the staff have stayed at just about every property in the continent.
Personal favorite is Londolozi in the Sabi Sands area next to Kruger. This IS leopard central!
PM me for any more details or suggestions.
My friends and I have discovered that their custom approach and meticulous attention to service and details are unparalleled. I will never book a preplanned "organized" tour again to Africa.
Do NOT use a US or UK company.
They will do a great job with whatever budget you have in mind and are quite artful with allocating your resources to the various places you wish to visit.
I just returned from Tanzania last week and once again, they did not disappoint.
I did have a solo guided tour of Namibia with Kensington tours in 2/2020 but due to a serious family emergency less than 12 hours prior to my departing the US I had to cancel. Thank goodness for good travel insurance.
Your post did not indicate if this is an initial trip to the continent or not but do some good personal research before you contact any TA.
There is a really helpful FT named Johan Rebel(I think) who is quite knowledgeable about travel in Africa.
Thank you very much! I'm going to check out those suggestions.

So would you suggest staying away from a company like Abercrombie and Kent?
