Does anyone have experience with Eyes on Africa out of Chicago, IL.?

I used them in 2007 for a safari to South Africa. Everything was great and they offered fine service.

rosem - i think you might have asked this question on trip advisor too. eyes on africa is a competitor of my company in the safari business. they are VERY good and i highly recommend them

Craig - i liked that recommendation of a 'rival'

looking at your profile, i must ask (it's rhetorical i guess)
- do you really like Starbucks???

Friend who lives in Chicago just used Rhino Africa and had wonderful luck with them especially on a last minute safari last week. The agent even called them to discuss from SA.

yes! i love starbucks. i worked at starbucks in atlanta when i was a graduate student at georgia tech in 1994. it was a small company back then! nothing better than six cups of free coffee when you are working on a masters in nuclear engineering. i am still looking for a way to use that degree...

rhino - they would be another competitor. there price should be the same as eyes on africa as we all have very similar contracts with the lodges, hotels, etc. service will be the difference maker.
