Amazing and very supportive locally owned and operated company
We just returned from 6-day Machame climb. From the beginning to the very end, the team was there to help us make it to the top and back. They checked our gear and supplied what was missing, they left the camps after us but had everything set up before we arrived to the camp, and they even offered their headlamp when mine died close to the summit. The food cooked by Arnold is amazing and abundant, every day something different and surprising. The guides (Efata and Aloyce) were always with us, setting a brisk pace we wanted but making sure we don’t gas out. The whole team made the climb an unforgettable experience.
Here is the thing. Looking around the campgrounds and hiking along many other groups, I believe that every company more or less offers similar services. The difference with Nafika is that you are 100% supporting a local business and they will act as a true local, grateful, enthusiastic and caring supporter of your efforts in return. Elias, the owner, started as a porter and now runs a company that brought two groups of people on the same day with us to the top of Kilimanjaro. Your money stays local and feed local families. You can’t say the same with many of the bigger tour companies.

Once in a life experience

Everything went smoothly from pickup to drop off l. The guide was very kind and explained everything in detail. The food and hotel accommodation were perfect as well
Thank you for a great experience

Very skilled and knowledgeable guide, and a very nice person to be accompanied by.
Our experience with Serengeti Savanna Adventures has exceeded our expectations. From the planning phase you already feel the professionalism of the group. Then when the time comes, everything is taken care of with high attention to detail and quality.
And the safari itself was really well executed with a very professional and knowledgeable guide.

Welcoming, enthusiastic, and accomodating
Mark and his team were all great tour leads for a solo traveler. He arranged everything from airport transfers to 2 nights to Kafue National Park, and a tour around Lusaka & Lusaka NP. It was a great variety of nature and cultural experiences. Transportation was reliable and very timely.
All of the staff were very open and shared about Zambia and their life experiences. It was very honest and open view of the country, and I saw that Zambia is rich in resources and nature but still many people live with day to day challenges. This isn't a "cheap" destination, even though many people live on far less than we do in the Western world, and the tour was fair value for the service and work. I really appreciated how many staff are required to provide 24x7 care from driving to cooking to guide - and how a business like Lochinvar supports many people.

Exceptional Safari
We embarked on a 7 day safari in Kenya with Savannah woods in December 2025. We visited Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru Naptional Park and Masai Mara national reserve.
We planned our itinerary with Lucy who was our point of contact throughout the journey. She was always responsive to our emails and messages. She also made very helpful recommendations to ensure we got the best experience.
Our guide/driver was Kevin. He was very professional and went out of his way to make sure we saw all the wildlife. Kevin always gave useful information about the wildlife and the parks. Kevin was always receptive to our feedback and made sure we had a good time. To ensure we saw the best wildlife, Kevin co-ordinated with other drivers as well. I highly recommend Kevin as a guide.
The vehicle(Toyota Landcruiser) was slightly dated and showed it's age. However that did not hamper our safari in any way! Having a modern vehicle will help this company go a step further.
Overall, we were very pleased with Savannah woods and recommend them. Especially our guide Kevin.

Made our dream come true
We are an adult couple who wanted a trip of a lifetime. Makasi made all our expectations. The trip was tailored by Selma who made a fantastic day-by-day plan with tips and advice based on our budget and the number of days available. Great follow-up all the way up to the trip. The trip was posted on Travel key, an app that we were on during the entire trip. We traveled in the low season and we would recommend that. You avoid queues, you get close to the animals and see them in peace and quiet, and also the straff in lodges. We saw so many animals that we had not dreamed of in their natural element. We felt safe, were picked up at the right time, experienced no unpleasant situations, everything went according to plan. Our fantastic guide Kevin poured out his knowledge, was an expert in finding animals. He had great knowledge of the names of the different species and their way of life. We had 10 days in 4 different parks and all the parks were different with animals and nature. It is special to get so close to the animals when you spend the night in a tent and can hear all the sounds. We ended with 1 week in Zanzibar. 5 days in Paje on the east coast was incredibly beautiful. Beautiful beaches, but aggressive sellers on the beach were unpleasant. Ended with two days in Stonetown which was fantastic with snorkeling and walking in the city. We have experienced fantastic service all the way. Clean and nice at the various accommodations.
