Cheria- "We
cannot speak highly enough of EDWIN who drove us back from Mombasa to
Nairobi. He arrived at the hotel the night before to
reassure us that all was well; he was prompt; his
driving was impeccable; he was extremely sensitive to our
needs; answered all questions knowledgeably, had a smart
appearance and showed remarkable patience and reassurance in difficult
traffic situations, even at the end of long and tiring
days.
He also made suggestions for activities on our final day in Nairobi (we
had hired car and driver for the day) and made it great fun for us.
Again very sensitively, he ensured that two of our party who were
catching a bus to Jinja were in the right place at the right time which
was very reassuring, before tackling horrific traffic to get us to the
airport in plenty of time.
An EXCEPTIONAL employee of whom you should be very proud."

Anna Carboni -As a traveller from the UK who already had bought the international
element of my flights, I had a great deal of difficulty finding someone
either in the UK or Africa who could sell me the internal flight from
Dar es Salaam to Kilimanjaro International.
Either travel agents (particularly in the UK) did not deal with
Precision Air (which had the flight at the time that was convenient to
me) or they said I could not use a credit card or a bank transfer (in
the case of a couple of African agents and the airline itself) which
meant I needed to find someone in Africa who could take some money
along in person.
By the time I found you, I had almost given up, so it was fantastic to
find someone (a) who could book me on the flight that I wanted and (b)
who could take a credit card payment and (c) who did it so efficiently.

Eric Dudley from from Murrieta,
California requested Africa Point to organise for him and his family
a safari package covering Kenya & Tanzania in 2004. After his
return to the US this is what he had to say...
" Yes. It was better than I ever could have imagined! Truly
a dream come true for me and my family. We saw everything! Lions,
Cheetahs, Elephants, Rhino, Giraffe, Hyenas, Buffalo, Impala, Gazelle,
Wildebeest, Zebra, Baboons, Monkeys, Crocodiles, Hippos, Jackals
huge Eagles, giant Buzzards, Flamingos and AFRICA! I don't have
the words to describe how good I felt about the game drives. GREAT
JOB TO EVERYONE AT AFRICA POINT! "
Eric decided to use Africa Point again to organise for him a trip
to Egypt for 6 days. After sending him our proposed itinerary this
is what he had to say..
"Wow! You’ve done it again! This is an awesome Package!
Your organization does a great job making it possible and affordable
for people on a low budget to travel. You did a great job on the
African Safari Vacation to Kenya and Tanzania for my family last
year...."

Satoshi Mori from
Japan wanted Africapoint to organise for him a 10 day safari in
Kenya on the month of August 2005.
We proposed a spectacular tour for him and his family which covered
the best national parks in Kenya including Masai Mara, Aberdares
National Park, Amboseli & Tsavo West. After his return to Japan,
this is what he had to say:
"We have been back to Tokyo safely but still dreaming about
the safari. Thank you very much for your arrangement & guide
in Kenya, as we told, we have enjoyed a lot. Even on the way back
from Nairobi, we have already started to talk about next planning..."

Walker Voltaire - As you may
expect, there are often many internet websites where the representatives
are fraudulent and out to take advantage of the consumer. That is
why we were pleased that Africa Point had on its website, that they
were a member of ASTA. When we contacted ASTA about
Africa Point and was informed by ASTA that the company was legitimate
and had no negative reports, our initialconcerns were resolved and
we purchased the tour.
Subsequently, the Africa Point staff provided excellent support
and I strongly recommend this company to anyone seeking a
tour of Africa. The staff at AP demonstrated they are for real,
experienced, veryknowledgeable, and are very interested in providing
the kind of service that places them as a premiere tour company.
It was through Africa Point that me and my family experienced a
tour of Egypt that we will remember for a lifetime. Thank
you.

Steve Moss - "I just wanted
to send this e-mail to you to thank you for putting together this
trip to Kenya. The whole vacation was spectacular. This truly was
the best vacation and experience that my wife and I had.
It was great meeting with you after talking for 10 months
via e-mails. Also I want to let you know that Jacob was absolutely
the best guide. He took care in making the safari as enjoyable that
it turned out to be.
When my wife I are ready to return to Kenya, we will be coming
to you again and hopefully Jacob would be our guide."

Jane Kariuki - l had
some mishap with my luggage in Arusha and Omondi (Africa Point
Tour Consultant) stepped up to the plate and took care of that
in a heartbeat. As for our tour guide/driver...Simon...we could
not have asked for a better person. He was very knowledgeable about
the wildlife, and just the best personality ever. always willing
to accommodate us with a smile.
In all we will recommend your company for all the friends who decide
to come to Kenya and of course when we come back next year its a
given we will want to use your company again.
Jane Kariuki- Kenyan resident in the USA
Martin Keay -
"We were fortunate to see all the major game species including
leopard and rhino. We even witnessed a lioness and her cubs coming
to the waterhole at Amboseli during a barbacue supper, less than
60 metres away behind an electrified security fence. Brilliant"

Client: ACORD (London, UK)
Service: International Conference (80 Delegates)
ACORD (Agency for Cooperation and Research in Development) is a
UK based NGO that is a research consortium with programs in many
African countries.
For their annual 11-day review meeting held in Kenya in May 2002,
from an initial long list they chose our company to handle all logistics
and venue location and reservation. 80 delegates traveled from all
over Africa and UK.
We helped ACORD pick an excellent venue from their initial outline
specification of a "place with beautiful surroundings, not
more than 150 Km from Nairobi".
This NGO has a small office in Nairobi but chose to deal direct
with us instead of burdening the local office with additional duties
in which they are not specialized.
The value added services we offered were:
- Accommodation and conference venue at specially negotiated
rates
- Audio-visual and simultaneous translation equipment, including
technician
- 2 English-French translators
- 1 English-Portuguese translator
- Transport logistics for small groups and individuals
- A dedicated Help Desk throughout the conference -assisting delegates
with weekend tours, flight confirmations etc.

Managing Water for African Cities-
Nairobi Project (Nairobi, Kenya)
This project is supported by UN-Habitat. The project preparation
group approached us to arrange a conference in Mombasa (Kenya) where
they could hold consultations and finalize on an action plan. In
addition they also required admin and logistics support. The conference
dates were in July 2002. The group size was 36. The instruction
to proceed was given at very short notice with the high season for
Mombasa approaching and therefore very difficult to get a group
booking confirmed. But we were able to confirm the booking for the
group and also get specially negotiated low season rates!
The value added services we offered were:
- Accommodation and conference venue at specially negotiated
rates
- Audio-visual equipment, stationary etc
- Transport logistics for Nairobi –Mombasa return
- Handling payments to moderators, participants etc.
- Helping plan cocktail party, recreation etc
- A dedicated Help Desk throughout the conference
After the end of the conference, the Project Manager commented:
“I wish to thank you for arranging a very successful conference.
The choice of hotel and transport arrangements met our requirements
and expectations. As a result were able to accomplish the task we
had set for ourselves. My only regret is that our schedule did not
allow us to relax more at the beach!”

Client: Fresh Fire Ministries (Abbotsford,
British Columbia, Canada)
Services: Group Accommodation, Ground and Air Transport and Safari
Fresh Fire Ministries is a Pentecostal group involved in Christian
Evangelism in North America, Africa and elsewhere. For their Crusade
in Mwanza, Tanzania in May 2002 they chose us to provide ground
and regional flight services and logistics.
The international flight for this 36 persons (US & Canadians)
group was terminating in Nairobi and the arrangements were therefore
for both Kenya and Tanzania.
After thorough shopping and correspondence with some of our past
clients the organizers decided to retain us to handle the aforementioned
logistics.
The value added services we offered were:
- Scheduled Kenya-Tanzania flights for advance party
- Accommodation in Kenya and Tanzania
- Charter return flight Nairobi- Mwanza for the group (we recommend
this cheaper option although the client had requested a scheduled
flight)
- 2 day post-mission safari in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
The client was very satisfied with the arrangements and has requested
us to indicated willingness to retain us for upcoming missions.
John MacGirvin, the organizer wrote the following to one of our
prospective clients from Canada:
"My experience was good as any service that I've received
any where in the USA. Not only were they helpful before and during,
but they went out of their way to also be helpful afterwards.
I'm using them again for an upcoming trip in November and will
look forward to using them for years to come."
