Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first African trip. We selected Pulse Africa as they were already highly recommended in an East African face book group that I am a member of and couldn’t have had a better experience planning the trip with them. In particular, our travel agent Melanie Lowe, was meticulous in coordinating and planning the trip. She worked with us on our itinerary and budget and came up with excellent accommodation suggestions to choose from for all the places we stayed at. She also put together suggested trips for our visit in Cape Town. While on vacation, we had to reach them during out of office hours and someone was readily available when we called. Our trip involved four internal flights and four different locations, so it was complex and it made much more sense to book the trip through an experienced agent. Would highly recommend Pulse Africa and use them again for any other African trips.
