"The Up in the Air Life trip to South Africa was everything I expected and more. Every historical and cultural detail was curated based on our interests and passions and they still provided some great surprises as well as flexibility for spontaneous changes and personal time. "

Shauna

"This was an amazing trip, all of the details were worked out before we arrived, the individual attention to our care was most important to my family. We were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary"

Monique

"I felt safe, I felt cared for, I felt pampered, I felt like this trip was made for me! My friend and I looked at this trip through the lenses of "could we have done this ourselves" and the answer was overwhelming NO! From the opening dinner in Johannesburg we would have never found or been too afraid to try, to the hotels we would have considered too extravagant, to the Game Reserve we would have felt wasn't something we "needed" to do, to the helicopter ride we are both too afraid to attempt - it was so many things we realize we would have never experienced without Up in the Air Life."
