[Please note: While I am deeply honored by all testimonials, this one I hold especially close to my heart!]

I must preface this review by saying that Amy Millican is in fact my aunt, but, given the essential familial tendency toward disagreement, that fact only makes my recommending her more impressive.

I traveled to Kenya with my aunt less than one year after the Westgate mall shooting, and I never felt more protected in my life. She was keenly aware of the dangers of highly populated areas from her always up-to-date knowledge of the news and from her previous African travels.

Accordingly, when we entered any densely populated areas, we were never without a trusted Kenyan guide, one whom she had known and personally used in her years of prior travel–she insists on a personal relationship with any individual or business that she recommends, putting in long hours and personal funds to guarantee the best for her travel companions.

Moreover, her astute and tested method of planning our trip’s itinerary left open days for me to plan my own trip after I had already visited several of Kenya’s absolutely beautiful national reserves. This superb balance between getting a stress-free, ready-made travel experience and a personally created journey was the direct result of my aunt’s abundance of travel experience and time-tested planning.

In closing, I will say that my time in Kenya was perfectly catered to me. I enjoy studying languages, so I took time during our car rides to learn some Swahili from our guides, and I have even kept up with a one of our guides via Swahili only emails! That is an experience that simply does not come from a big travel company, and I have utmost confidence that the Flyga Twiga travel experience is able to create similarly personalized and educational experiences for people of all tastes.

If my aunt has taught me one thing, it is this: It’s schooling to travel.

I can think of no one more committed to Africa's wildlife, cultures and people than Amy. We traveled together to Sudan and South Sudan in 2010; her curiosity and compassion made the trip both more interesting and enjoyable - despite sometimes difficult conditions. I would hop into a jeep with her anywhere in West Africa and feel secure and excited for the adventure ahead! Her focus on sustainable tourism is another great strength -- to visit, to learn and leave behind no tracks. Flyga Twiga is a natural extension of Amy's passion, and we're fortunate she's expanding to share it with the rest of us.

I have had the opportunity to travel and work with Amy in some highly challenging countries.  She has a beautiful good-natured attitude and great organizational skills that assure that things progress smoothly.  As Amy has traveled extensively in Africa and abroad, she is at ease and comfortable working and communicating in many cultures.  I highly recommend Amy as a personal travel leader.

Having attended numerous occasions that were planned, organized and hosted by Amy Millican, I can assure you there is NO ONE who strives harder to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of her guests than Amy. Even in a harsh environment like South Sudan, Amy still managed to provide for every need while doing so in a responsible, sustainable manner.

I was always impressed by Amy’s knowledge of the culture and history of East Africa, its people and especially its wildlife about which Amy is incredibly passionate. If you were not informed about Africa and in-love with its wildlife you will be after spending any time with Amy!

I am sure for anyone contemplating a safari in Africa would have concerns about safety, comfort and about the impact your adventure will have upon the people and wildlife of Africa. In that case you could do absolutely no better than to place yourself in the capable hands of a knowledgeable, resourceful and dedicated professional like Amy Millican. Amy will ensure that your safari will be a wonderfully memorable occasion that also meets the highest standards for comfort, care and sustainable tourism.

An African safari especially the east African one is a more challenging, but has got all the excitement and fun as well. A dream safari with smooth, trouble free, and efficient service, will have to come from someone who has passion, commitment and love for the animals.

Amy Millican has got all, which would make her the perfect choice for your dream safari in East Africa. I am doing justice in saying this, since I know her personally and the passion and love she has for the animals. In fact the friendship we have today is because of the common interest and love we have for the animals.

East African culture, society and the environment is more challenging and it is not easy for someone who does not know the region. In Amy’s case she is well acquainted with this region and has travelled around the whole of East Africa and learnt about the culture of the local people and has enough knowledge on the unexpected challenges in the Safari Business.

Over and above, Amy’s vision for Sustainable Tourism in East Africa through her new venture will be one of the pioneering efforts especially for the countries like South Sudan, which is still looking for ways and means of development and this safari business will be a great breakthrough for them.

I knew it at once she is going to name her new business as ‘Twiga’ as she loves it. Twiga is the Swahili (a tribal language in Africa) word for Giraffe. Amy has made the right choice by choosing the best business venture that perfectly suits her skills, passion and interest. I wish ‘Flyga Twiga’ all success as its going be the premium wildlife safari of East Africa.

All safari lovers out there! This is a once in lifetime journey for you after all, so your decision needs to be right and that should be ‘Flyga Twiga’.

I met Amy in 2012 in Juba, South Sudan and worked under her for the whole year, i.e. she was my boss. Although she was my boss, I discovered that she is a very sensitive person in so many ways and was always willing to help to me become a better person.  She had a gentle way of correcting me and unlike many bosses, Amy said 'sorry' whenever she felt like she 'scratched' my heart. From the many days we spent together in 2012, a friendship developed which we've nurtured to date. She is a very caring and loving person.

She is also very brave and has lots of tips in safety which I were exposed when we worked in one of the field sites out of Juba - where poisonous snakes just had a bad habit of 'carelessly' showing up!'

All this is to simply say she is great to work with and travel around with.
