Fish Eagle Safaris
 
I've read only good things about this Houston, TX based company. Before I pull the trigger on the trip I've planned -- anyone used them and care to comment?

Thanks -
Leslie

They are a very good outfit. Bert Deplessis is an honest and knowledgable operator.

Only drawback: they have not been around long enough to be covered for bankruptcy protection by the major US travel insurance companies. BUT - I am sure Bert runs a good company and any deposit money is seperated from operating funds so you can book with 100% peace of mind.

I did a trip with Fish Eagle about 7 years ago. It was truly excellent. We visited South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Bert is a very caring person and I am sure you will be thrilled with any trip you book with him.

We have used Bert for two trips to Southern Africa, he gave us a good price and absolutely no problems.
