Am looking to travel to africa and europe. As I’ve looked into it, I’ve found many of those trips that have been planned out by an agency. The itinerary is fully planned as to where you are each day and you can pick the type to suit (like active etc). How good are these trips? Do you prefer this to planning your own trip or vice versa? I want some input as to which I should choose.
So.. agent planned or self planned?
"Without a travel agent…you’re on your own!" At least that’s our industry’s motto.
For Europe, you can really do it either way. Not so dangerous, and much easier to "wing it."
For Africa: You really need a good travel agent. Like me! 
A good agent can plan you a custom trip, with the itinerary being as structured or free-flowing as you prefer. You need someone who is specialized – most of your corner travel agencies know little to nothing about Africa.
Can I help you plan your trip? You can find my employer on the web at www.african-safari.com. Or contact me directly: phil@african-safari.com.
