Serengeti Bucket List Dream Fulfilled
5/5

We visited Serengeti& surrounds from 13-19 June 2021. I started dealing with Helena from 2019 when our original trip was planned for June 2020 , this was postponed to 2021 due to covid. From the beginning till the very end Helena & the Soul of Tanzania staff were always prompt , friendly & professional. I always rate a company by their quick experience to my e mails & Helena has been world class. Our visit started at Lake Manyara known for its tree climbing lions which we unfortunately never saw. The lunch in the bush with views over the Lake was a wonderful experience , great food prepared by Eileen's Inn where we stayed at the previous night. Day 2 we proceeded to the Serengeti Park & were greated by a pack of 8 Hyenas & shorty thereafter a pride of 6 lions , what a start. Stayed over at Tukaone Camp right in the bush & has all the basic necessities. Our next day we did a hot air balloon safari with Serengeti Balloon Safaris & what an experience to see the Serengeti & animals from the air. The next 2 evenings we spent at Mbalageti Camp & again a real in the bush experience where we heard lions roar all night & some hyena & zebra . We then proceeded to the Western & Southern corridor where we were fortunate enough to witness the migration , a mindboggling experience to see so many wildebeest & zebra together. Back to Central Serengeti where we spent another night at Tukaone Camp & more great sightings thanks to our Guide George . To give some perspective we spent a toal of 4.5 days in the main Serengeti park & amongst other saw 58 lions , 3 leopards , 5 cheetah including a cub. The amount of animals & variety we saw was incredible & we have done a number of safaris in South Africa & Namibia. Our final night was spent at Hhando Coffee Lodge just outside Ngorogoro crater , again top class venue.

What was great about George is that he was always on time , shared a lot of knowledge & ensured we were always comfortable. We were glad we were with Soul of Tanzania as we saw a few vehicles broken down along the way & these areas are very remote so ones holiday would be spoilt if you break down. The vehicle was always clean & seemed well maintained & George explained what they do after every trip which was reassuring.

Our overall experience from the beginning has been awesome , your itinerary is customised to your needs & George checked with us on day 1 what we would like to see & we were fortunate to see all of the big 5 but far more than expected . I would recommend spending a full day in the Ngorogoro Crater & stay inside the Park if possible as trip to crater floor takes a while.

Thanks once again to Helena & George for an absolutely memorable experience.

5/5

Janine Bouwer responded to my enquiry quickly and provided the requested information via emails and Whatsapp. Her approach was professional, yet friendly. It was easy to secure the booking with minimal effort. The lodge offered what was advertised and went the extra mile to make our visit memorable. Gems of Africa is a competent booking partner.

5/5

I worked with Mwanje at Image Travel Limited to plan a trip to Uganda with a tight timeline. He coordinated everything to include all luxury accommodations and meals, transportation with a tour guide 24/7, a river boat cruise, a safari, chimpanzee trekking, gorilla trekking, and more! Mwanje was very responsive and helpful and the trip was better than we could have ever imagined!

Andre was incredibly helpful and assisted me with all the tour details I required.
5/5

My parents and I have not been on a game drive since I was 7 years old. I had planned this trip through Safari With Us at Dinokeng Game Reserve. Andre was polite, informative and a very humble gentleman who was able to answer all my questions and was available when ever I called with a question. He was very well organized and kept me up to date with all details regarding our trip. Wilber was our driver for the day, he was such a delight to be around. He arrived early and drove us safely to the game reserve. He was friendly and got to know us very well during the drive to and from the game reserve. We were able to see many animals including a Rhino, Wildebeest, Monkies and many exotic birds. We really enjoyed our experience with Safari With Us and are excited to book the next trip!

Another great bush experience for me with Legend Safari’s.

Thanks to Shaheen for he’s smooth organising of the trip from start to finish and following up to see if everyone returned home safely. Shaheen is reliable and has great communication with his guests.

Our photography guide, Pravir Patel was exceptional and professional - He’s knowledge of the bush and photography made a massive contribution to making the overall experience great!

Fantastic, flexible partners in planning my 50th
5/5

Just wanted to thank you for all of your help in planning my birthday escape. We had the most fabulous time and every stop along the way was its own little adventure – and pure magic! Leopard Mountain for the bush part, Kosi Forest Lodge for the forest vibe - and Thonga for the beach and diving fix.

The accommodation, staff, facilities and food at each place were all excellent – but I have to admit that Thonga was a cut above the rest – what a stunning place!! I’m going to have to save up to visit again one day….

Highly recommended for visitors from all over and highly recommend your services too – you’ve been a star and I’m grateful and blessed to have had your guidance and support ito arranging and getting things sorted. Not an easy task during Covid times but you came up with some wonderful options on the continent and beyond (loved the way you presented these in slide shows btw) and somehow remained positive and encouraging about the birthday escape when I was losing hope of making it happen.

THANK YOU!

5/5

We have used SW Africa numerous times over the past year. Each request is dealt with quickly and efficiently. When requesting quotes, we are given a number of options to choose from, and once the final decision is made from our side, the booking is quickly confirmed and sorted!
The communication is always clear and all the options are easy to understand. Every single one of the past experiences with the safari's has exceeded our expectations and will definitely continue to use SW Africa for our future safaris, I cannot recommend them enough.

Fabolousssssss & Excellent trip
5/5

Mwanje and Image travel team arranged for our 6 day luxury trip in Kenya. From the get go, the experience that I've had with Image travel was perfect, detail oriented and clear. Mwanje has been patient and timely with all our questions through email. Mwanje planned an excellent 6 day glamping trip across Amboseli, Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru based on our preferences.

Honestly, I didn’t but expect it to be this great when I started. And that's because we were nervous whether we choose the right Tour company via SafariBookings. But, after the trip, I can truly tell that this was our best ever Camping Safari trip. Being vegetarian I had no issues with the food these resort camps served & they took excellent care of us. Our Image travel guide was Joseph - he’s certainly the best guide we can ever ask for. Very informative, energetic, sharp spotter, quick decision maker and able to navigate the toughest terrains (Mara had heavy rains when we arrived n without Joseph I’m sure we would not have found Entim Mara) . He’s a gem of a guide n a very nice person to have guided us in our Safari. Taking a trip with Joseph, we were able to spot all Big Five! Joseph is a very experienced guide and we were super glad to have him guide us!

Overall, 5/5 for Image travel for making our dream Safari vacation the best it could be & kudos to their team for an amazing coordination! Highly recommend this trip to all who want a relaxing, adventurous glamping trip!
