Exceeded my Expectations

“When I went on the ‘In the Shadow of Giants’ tour in October I was the most excited I have ever been to go on a vacation! The tour exceeded my expectations! I knew I would be going to the DSWT reintegration units but wasn’t sure what else I would see. I was blown away by all the wildlife we saw. The accomadations and food were exemplary. The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this tour to anyone wanting the real African experience”.

Betty C. Pennsylvania, USA

Beyond Amazing!

“Where do I start? I recently returned from “In the Shadow of Giants” tour and it was beyond my wildest dreams. I had been to Kenya before and the experience was life changing, and the tour they put together for visiting the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was simply AMAZING! Dick Berry of Capture Africa Tours has created a unique and phenomenal experience for any elephant lover. Asante sana Capture Africa Tours for this absolutely wonderful experience.”

Jeanne D. California, USA

Manifesting Elephants

“I’ll say I’ve been manifesting elephants. Always having a fascination with the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, I had heard through the grapevine that there was no way to visit this organization to see the elephants up close. Well, having run across Dick Berry and his Capture Africa Tours, I saw that he was offering an “In the Shadow of Giants Tour”. Do you want to get up close with elephants? Hell yeah! Blew my mind and to be honest it was a life-changing experience.”

Natalie L. Illinois, USA

Passon for Elephants

“My passion for elephants has a long history and visiting the DSWT was a dream of mine. Capture Africa Tours and Dick Berry did not disappoint. I was nervous traveling alone and Dick was so very helpful in answering questions and helping me with the flights and documentation I needed. The trip itself surpassed my expectations. The accommodations, the cuisine, were unique and wonderful. So much fun, so many laughs, and so educational.”

Kathleen R. New York, USA

Life Changing & Unforgettable

“I cannot recommend Capture Africa Tours enough!! This was a life-changing and unforgettable experience, and so much of that is because Dick has thought of every detail! There was not a moment that I was less than thrilled while in Kenya. Our guides (that word doesn’t even do them justice), Henry and Simon, were incredible. They are beyond knowledgeable and I am forever grateful to both of them. Thank you so much to everyone at Capture Africa Tours.”

Danielle G. Maryland, USA

Wow! Where to Begin?

“Wow! Where to Begin? I can’t thank Capture Africa Tours enough for an adventure of a lifetime! From planning our trip to the day we came home, Dick was available to provide any and all support to make our itinerary everything I had hoped for. We were blessed to have had Henry as our guide who went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. There is only one company to travel with to Africa, Capture Africa Tours! Thank you Dick and Henry for making my dream come true.”

Pam D. New York, USA

Incredible Trip

Incredible experience… Life changing for sure. I had the most amazing time.. As a foster parent at the David Sheldrick Wildlife trust we had daily interactions with the orphans.. everyone was great, accommodations were wonderful.. and our guide Henry was incredible. He knew everything! Being a birder too this was amazing. I saw 136 new species, and countless other animals & insects I have only seen on nature programs…. Its hard to truly articulate how special and amazing this trip was… I cannot wait to go back…. Thank you Capture Africa Tours!

Barbara L. New York, USA
