Through meticulous planning by Ashworth Africa we have just enjoyed the most fabulous few days in Cape Town. They scheduled a wonderful programme for our visit so we have memories of the City, Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Robben Island, Constantia, wine tasting, Botanical Garden, the seals of Hout Bay, stroking a cheetah cub in an Out Reach programme and...there was so much we did, saw and tasted we need to check our photos to remember what I have forgotten! We could not have done it on our own and our guide was a continuous source of information, Thank you Bob Paterson

Ashworth Africa was recommended to us by some friends who regularly holiday in Africa. We gave Patrick an idea of what we wanted to do and see, ie. Rourke’s Drift and two different animal safari locations, together with our budget. We arranged to book our own return flights.

The itinerary Patrick suggested was exactly what we were hoping for, including having a driver to transport us between locations, and within our budget.

The whole holiday was very professionally organised with excellent and welcoming lodges, very knowledgeable guides and great game viewing. He also arranged for someone to meet us at Johannesburg airport, airside, to assist with the transfer, together with our luggage, from the international flight to the internal flight terminal.

At the end of our holiday Patrick, who had been monitoring our return flight to ensure there was no change required to the taxi taking us to the airport, contacted us to alert us to the fact that SAA were cancelling all flights on the day we were due to fly home. He was so helpful and booked new flights with BA to enable us to return to the UK on time. This was certainly very much above and beyond his remit and we were extremely grateful to him.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Ashworth Africa to anyone who wants a professionally organised holiday in Africa. Thank you, Patrick.

Ashworth Africa made my trip to South Africa the experience of a lifetime. The arrangements precisely matched my specifications and were executed flawlessly from the moment we landed in Cape Town until we left South Africa to journey home. The trip could not have been more perfect. I hope to return to South Africa in the future and when I be engaging Ashworth to assist with arrangements.

Patrick Ashworth has organised 7 or 8 trips for my wife and me in
southern Africa. His attention to detail has always ensured that we
have enjoyed trouble-free holidays in some wonderful locations in
several different countries -- it is reassuring to have a perfectionist on
one's side. We have recommended him to a number of friends, and
have never heard any complaints. Good luck yourselves !

Fantastic trip in the Cape and Madikwe. Ashworth’s planning first class with excellent support from Janice in Cape Town. Our teenage children really happy.

Ashworth did a great job with the choice of L lodges and game reserves. We had great wildlife experiences and the accommodations were superb.

first class all the way, hassle free journey all the way.

We couldn't be more pleased with Ashworth Africa. Email responses were immediate and very helpful. The tour itself unfolded perfectly with no travel anxiety whatsoever. Everywhere we went, all experiences and all personnel were wonderful without exception.

The company is efficient, caring and completely professional. The trips they book are fantastic with all pickups and transfers handled without flaw. Their knowledge of game parks and facilities is unmatched. I heartily recommend Ashworth Africa for planning a trip to Africa.

Patrick arranged all our African trips (I’m on my 4th trip now). Often times it’s last minute with last minute arrangements.

This last trip to Rwanda a few weeks ago for gorilla trekking (suggested by patrick when we were on a Zimbabwe safari two years ago) was unbelievable. The lodges were great and the gorilla trekking was out of this world despite this being rainy season!

Gorilla trekking is a must do for safari lovers!

Patrick never failed to deliver the best!

Patrick put together our trip of a lifetime to South Africa. Every step of the journey, from being met as we exited the plane in Cape Town to our final departure home was carefully thought out and expertly taken care of. The itinerary was amazing with remarkable locations (South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe), private tour guides, beautiful lodges, and fantastic game drives. He worked within our budget and gave us a first class vacation. I highly recommend Ashworth Africa Safaris and hope to work with him again for a future trip to Africa.

Patrick made our honeymoon incredibly special for us. It was our first time to Africa, and it was a fantastic introduction. There were surprises at every turn, and all logistics were perfectly coordinated. He was incredibly responsive throughout the process, and jumped through hoops for us.We would highly recommend him!

Ashworth listened carefully to those experiences that we hoped to have in our six weeks of travel. We are extremely satisfied with our trip and wish we could live every minute again.

All arrangements were top notch. I will happily recommend Ashworth Africa to friends and will use them again for future visits! It was an unforgettable trip!

Great trip for the whole family .. all arrangement went ahead without a hitch . Highly recommended

After a 10 year absents from Africa, I cannot praise/thank Patrick enough for all he has done for us! We have had a fantastic time, both in Cape Town, site seeing, wine tasting and enjoying town life as we as a brilliant time in Tswalu, Kalahari. None of which would have been possible without Patricks attention to the detail.

Many many thanks Hal

Patrick did an incredible job helping my husband and I plan our honeymoon safari. Everything about this trip went smoothly and the lodge was more amazing than we could have imagined! Everything was taken care of for us; all we had to do was enjoy the wonderful experience. Patrick was quick to respond to our emails and was able to book us the trip of a lifetime at a very reasonable price. I will definitely be booking my next safari with Ashworth Africa!

Thanks to Ashworth Africa for organising two amazing trips for us, one with a group of friends in 2011, and another for our family with three teens in 2017. Each catered specifically to the group’s interests, with the first trip comprising safari and the Winelands, and the second filled with fun, family-
oriented activities. Both trips were totally unforgettable, meticulously planned, and with excellent recommendations for lodges, hotels, restaurants, side trips and local guides. We cannot wait to return for our next African adventure!

We took a fabulous family 2 week trip to South Africa during August 2018.There were 14 of us ranging in age from 11 to 75. Ashworth Africa arranged the entire trip from three different starting points in the USA. Patrick listened to our every request and found exactly what we were looking for at each stop. (And we are a tough crowd to please.)
I have since recommended Ashworth Africa to friends who are frequent world travelers and they were equally happy with Ashworth Africa.

Have used Ashworth Africa for more than 4 times now for safaris. They have never fail to ensure the best of advise/ service/ planning. Have complete faith in their arrangements.

Will be making more safari trips with Ashworth planning the itineraries going forward.

We just returned from our most recent trip to Southern Africa (May 2018)
which Ashworth Africa - planned and executed expertly!

This is our third trip that Patrick Ashworth has planned for us, and the fifth trip he has planned for our friends.

You could not put yourself in better hands than Ashworth Africa. No detail too small for them to make perfect. We thank them for making our "bucket list" something we want to do again, and again.

Excellent customer service and great suggestions. We have done 2 trips with Patrick-one to South Africa and one to Victoria falls and Botswana. Both involved some complicated logistics (3 people coming from 3 continents on 3 different days for the last one) and all worked very smoothly. I can relax knowing that Patrick has handled all the arrangements and has recommended amazing places. I have recommended Patrick to others and plan to have him plan our next trip to Namibia.

Thanks to your team for creating the holiday of a lifetime in South Africa - a wondeful blend of adventure and relaxation. Cape Town, the Garden Route and a safari - wow! We can't wait to return.

Ashworth Africa is simply the best. Patrick and his team do everything to make sure your trip is perfect. From choosing the best camps based on your preferences, to reminding you to pack the right gear, to making sure a birthday cake is on hand for the special occasion. We have used Ashworth Africa to plan 2 safaris in 2 different countries; and have sent 3 other friends to them as well--and everyone has been thrilled with the level of service, detail, charm and organization. They know all the best camps in Africa and will help you plan the trip of a lifetime. Don't risk using anyone other than Ashworth Africa!
