"Our planner Amina built a 10-day Kenya + Zanzibar trip over WhatsApp in two evenings. Every lodge, every flight, every transfer — confirmed. We just showed up."
"Booked the gorilla permits, the lodge, and a private driver out of Kigali on AfriGuide and paid in cedi from my MTN MoMo. Easiest thing I've done all year."
"I came for Detty December, stayed two extra weeks for Cape Coast and Mole. The AI planner re-shuffled flights the same night. Felt like having a local cousin."
