A few words to thank you so much for the fantastic trip you have organised for me. Everything has been above my expectations : (1) The diversity of animals of course (2) The kindness of the staff and the comfort of the accommodation even in the wild (3) The cook and the South-African wines. I dream I will come again in South Africa
Thanks to her knowledge and skills, Beatriz de Villegas has been able to organise for my children and I perfect trips to SA on two occasions and we can’t wait for the next one. Spotting the Big Five, riding through game parks, but also flying over whales and staying in beautiful places made these trips unforgettable and I can only recommend any family to embark on such trips.

In May 2019 Beatriz de Villegas organized for me the most perfect trip to & Beyond Phinda Rock Lodge. Thanks to her, those 4 days were way beyond my expectations. Absolutely everything from the journey to the safari or the lodge itself were amazing, elegant and refined. I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a unique and beautiful safari experience without a doubt.

My husband, our two children and I decided last minute to travel to Africa. We contacted Beatriz de Villegas who asked us knowledgeable, astute questions. Her compelling comments and suggestions aimed at well-travelled, inquiring travellers like ourselves convinced us.
A few weeks later we never looked back, setting off to Namibia followed by Victoria Falls where we stayed at two fabulous camps. So much effort was put into details. A lovely welcome note was waiting for us at all of the lodges and we had upgrades at two lodges. At one lodge, we arrived after the evening game drive had departed, Beatriz arranged for another vehicle and ranger to take us out on our own, exclusive use vehicle.

Our honeymoon was spent in South Africa where Beatriz de Villegas organised the most fabulous trip we ever embarked on. We stayed at a wonderful hotel in the Cape Winelands, where on our first night we had complimentary sparkling wine, fruits and a dinner on a veranda overlooking the wine valley. All the wine-tastings were set up in different wine estates where the owners, friends of Beatriz de Villegas, gave us private wine-tastings and on one occasion we had a lovely lunch at the estate too. We did a four night safari and enjoyed the stunning camp, the flower decorations on our bed in the evenings, the early morning drive just with our guide and ranger. At every hotel and stop, we received hand-written cards to welcome us, complimentary wines and flowers. We shall definitely recommend Beatriz de Villegas to anyone who asks about travelling to Africa.
Julia & Pierre C. – South Africa
We had a unique voyage in Kenya staying at two stunning lodges, one at Ngorogoro Crater and the other an intimate camp in a private corner of the Masai Mara.
We were looked after with attention to our every need. Our amazing guide taught us more about the amazing abundance of wild-life and the medicinal qualities of plants we witnessed during our stay.
A leopard kill was the highlight followed by a sunrise walk on our last day. Seeing giraffes and zebras during our walk was a wonderful experience.
We look forward to returning to Africa with Beatriz de Villegas as our guide and travel planner.

One of the best trips we ever did and probably the first one which we did not plan ourselves. Having travelled to many parts of the world, we enjoy preparing our holidays. A common friend told us to contact Beatriz de Villegas. Her first-hand experience of all the places she added in our itinerary, provided us with a perfectly planned trip with people coming to meet us at every step.
A wonderful guide fetched us at the tiny Manda Airport, put our luggage in his “taxi boat” and off we went to Lamu. No cars was bliss, only donkeys, fishermen and endless white beaches.
Our stay at a superb six bedroom villa overlooking the shores went too fast. This private villa was rented with a superb cook, a thoughtful housekeeper and our own personal guide who accompanied us on several excursions including Stone Town.
The highlights of our trip was a fishing trip with our own dhow. There was a delicious surprise picnic on a stunning island followed later by sunset drinks in a superb setting.
For anyone planning to go to Africa we recommend highly they contact Beatriz de Villegas.
