TESTIMONIALS
Our Kenya safari was nothing short of incredible.
My family and I (a group of 3) traveled on a 10-day Kenya safari in August 2023. We had the privilege of witnessing the ‘Big 5’ and countless other remarkable animals in their natural habitat. It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that left me in awe of the natural world.
The journey was complemented by delicious cuisine, top-notch wildlife guides, and accommodations that exceeded our expectations. The entire experience was extraordinary.
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Julie Thompson, owner of Eyes On You Safaris, for her invaluable assistance and insight in crafting such a remarkable itinerary. Julie’s expertise and attention to detail were evident every step of the way, making the wait for this safari well worth it.
I can’t wait for the opportunity to embark on another adventure curated by Eyes On You Safaris. Thank you, Julie, for making this journey an experience we will cherish forever.

Our family of three had been talking about an African safari vacation for several years.
We are a mom, dad and 15-year-old daughter and reasonably experienced travelers. However, trying to plan a safari vacation to Africa was beyond anything we had organized in the past. Fortunately, we were introduced to Julie Thompson and Eyes On You Safaris by good friends whom had been on safari in Africa several times. From our very first call with Julie, she was genuinely eager to listen to our objectives, calendar and budget constraints, concerns and requests traveling as a family, and an unending number of questions. The result was a spectacular two-week, turnkey itinerary in Kenya that far exceeded our expectations even down to the smallest detail, including meaningful cultural experiences at a local village and an elementary school. Each of our three safari camps were in uniquely different topographies with a broad diversity of animals. The accommodations, food, safari guides, and service by each camp’s staff were all 5 star plus. A thousand photographs later, our family of three unanimously agree that our time on safari went way too fast, and we look forward to working with Julie again in the future to plan another African adventure.

Our trip to Tanzania was everything we were hoping for and so much more.
Julie planned for us to stay at four different locations: Legendary Lodge, Swala, Mwiba, and the mobile Legendary Camp. The plane and ground transportation went seamlessly and the staff at each location went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Each location showed us a different side of Tanzania and allowed us to see a wide range of animals and scenery. The safari guides Julie suggested truly made all the difference in how exciting our drives were. We saw every animal we were hoping to and more. And did I mention the food? Everything was delicious. The staff even planned to make us a traditional Tanzanian dinner one night per our request. Before our trip, Julie even helped to coordinate a brunch in the bush as a surprise for our parents. There was an omelet chef behind the bushes and everything! It was a trip of a lifetime and we will always remember it.

Thank you so much for putting together another EPIC safari adventure for us!
After the fantastic trip you arranged for us in Kenya, we were unsure about where to go next. We wondered if we might have to lower our expectations for our second trip. Nope! You totally understood what we wanted and put together a fabulous itinerary that included different experiences in new and wonderful locations. Both trips now live in our memories and hearts as totally separate, but equally amazing lifetime highlights.
The houseboat on the Chobe River was incredible. The perspective from the water is so totally different than what you get from a Land Cruiser – it’s so intimate, you’re eyeball level with the baboons.
Getting out on foot and the night game drives in Zimbabwe were such cool, unforgettable experiences. And our guides there were terrific, but then that’s what you told us and why you suggested Zimbabwe.
All the transfers worked like clockwork and there was never an unsure moment for us, even with multiple border crossings.
We cannot tell you how much we appreciate how honest you were with us about why you would, or wouldn’t, send us to certain locations and knowing what would work for us based on our previous trip. Your vast experience in Africa is truly invaluable.
And a BIG thank you for your unending patience with all our requirements, requests, questions, concerns - our very specific calendaring needs and, of course, keeping it all within our budget. You did it all with such seeming ease. We are very grateful for all your care.
We are already thinking about the next one!
