" Very many thanks for a splendid visit. An unparalleled experience. Please also pass on my thanks to Hemant. Both of you were such welcoming and knowledgeable hosts. We were all delighted with the anniversary book. Thank you again."

"During the recent tour of India with my cricket team, Barkers Creek Cricket Club, we were privileged to have Sporting Excellence provide services for our touring party. In particular, bus travel for transfers to and from the airports in Mumbai and Delhi was arranged, as well as for a six day bus tour through Rajasthan. The arrangements were faultless, and in a country which can be challenging for novice tourists to India, the services were provided with reassuring competence and with back up support well beyond expectations. Without reservation, I can highly recommend Sporting Excellence to organise and co-ordinate travel requirements in India."

"Our safari to East Africa was unforgettable! Despite our many discussions about the annual wildebeest migration before departure, what we saw was way beyond our expectations. Your passion and knowledge of the birds and animals coupled with the great instincts of David and Simon, enabled us to see many �stories� about how the various animals and birds live together and fight for survival in their natural habitat...We appreciate your traveling with us and we highly recommend Incredible Africa Safaris to all our family and friends!"

"Vikram and his team were extremely knowledgeable, polite and punctual. The game viewing was way beyond our expectations. The lodges were excellent and the hot food was also good. The packed meals could have been better. Even on our 11 hour drives, we returned to the resorts excited and happy. All in all it was an excellent experience and we would strongly recommend Incredible Africa Safaris to anyone who would like a thoughtful, well organised, thrilling and friendly vacation in Africa".

Dr Anand Somaya,

"Thank you very, very much for an absolutely entrancing holiday to Kenya and Tanzania.

Chetan Mulani

"This holiday was made absolutely perfect by your complete effort, and the way you took charge of the group. Thank you so much for thinking of every little detail for each one of us in the varied and large group. It was all planned so perfectly right from both of you meeting us at Mumbai at that unearthly hour, to our flights, to the visas in Kenya Tanzania, to the wonderful driver-guides and vehicles, and also letting us get our day of shopping! All the lodges and camps we stayed at where chosen with great care, and each park for the right amount of days. I can't decide which was my favorite place as each one had something that made it special. If I have to rate the hotels, then each one would be excellent. The variety of food,despite my being a vegetarian, was so much that we all packed in the pounds! Africa is so unbelievably beautiful, but you made it even more fabulous with your enthusiasm and knowledge. You would stop the vehicles for even the smallest of creatures, plants and trees. This helped us to be able to appreciate much more than just the big five, and gain more insight into this most lovely, raw and pure part of Africa. It was wonderful the way you encouraged us when we'd spot an animal, and make us feel like experts! I can't thank you enough for making our dream holiday even more, much more, wonderful than what we expected. We can't wait for our next trip back to God's Eden."

Namrata & Veerbhadra Singh

"An 18 day safari of Kenya and Tanzania is not easy to plan and execute - congrats and thanks for meeting and exceeding our expectations! We were very happy with the guides, vehicles, lodges and camps, and Kirawira was the highlight of our stay. The Migration at the Ndutu area, the many leopards and lionesses on trees in the Serengeti, the Tarangire bulls and the 'red' bull elephants of Tsavo, the nightly lion calls, the massive crocs in the swollen Grumeti, the cape buffalo just below our room at the Ngorongoro Crater, the sunset at Lake Victoria and the amazing drive to the Mara on the dirt track, the endless evening chats of the days' sightings...Although it was my 3rd safari with you guys, it was an unbelievable safari!"

"Our clients and I have had the pleasure of experiencing Sporting Excellence's services in India and overseas for several cricket matches and during Fifa 2010 in South Africa. They got us fantastic seats and took care of all the little things like transport and stadium entry and the very essential item - food. They also have access to several sportsmen who have been speakers at our corporate events. I highly recommend Sporting Excellence and see myself watching many more sporting events with them."

Neeraj Bhargava

"Apart from organizing fabulous events, Sporting Excellence adds a real special touch through their personal involvement. Something that one doesn't get to see with other event managers. Whether it is breakfast with a well known cricketer after a match or dinner in close proximity to an African lion or chartering an aircraft in the middle of the jungle."

"The ICC cricket world cup 2007 was a memorable experience...not because of how India played, but with the wonderful organisation skills and class shown by Sporting Excellence. They lived up to their name, were great sports, and demonstrated excellence in all they did! The special evening with Sir Garry Sobers was a wonderful surprise, and will remain with us all our lives. True Calypso magic for the Calypso Foods guests. Having seen a number of world cups from 1987, this was my best experience...not for the cricket, but for the organisation and delivery of Sporting excellence. May they grow from strength to strength."

Debashish Mitra
