“On the 17th August I travelled from Hungary with my family to the Serengeti… the big 5 and the wildebeest migration, this was the icing on the cake. Evelyn of [Iconic Travel Services] organized and planned the travel, well done. Stephen Nassali executed the journey and was very informed. No fuss. We were picked up at the airport and quickly taken to our lounge.”

“I live in Durban and I met Evelyn at Africa's Travel Indaba in May 2026. I knew what I wanted to see and Evelyn was very supportive. We took our trip in July 2026. Precious, our guide, was very knowledgeable and lively. The gorillas and chimpanzees are in the wild. I am very happy we made this trip.”

“Amazing experience. Muhammad was a fantastic guide and Evelyn was great at organizing everything. She even managed to retrieve my lost surf bag and have it sent to the hostel. The animals we saw were insane - Mo was great at finding everything I wanted to see!”
