The Tour was excellent
Our group of five had an amazing trip to Pilanesberg National Park, which we booked through Nhlalala Travel, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences we’ve had together.
The day started early with our pick-up in Pretoria central on time and everything was well organised.
The driver was friendly and made us feel comfortable right away.
We had enough restrooms stops
During the drive and shops ,we were all excited, talking about what animals we hoped to see.
Even the journey there felt enjoyable because the atmosphere in the vehicle was relaxed and fun.
When we arrived at Pilanesberg, the scenery immediately stood out. The park is so beautiful, with mountains, open plains, and lots of greenery. As soon as the game drive started, we were all quiet and focused, looking out for animals. It didn’t take long before we spotted our first animals, and that’s when the excitement really kicked in.
We saw elephants walking slowly across the road, and at one point they came quite close to the vehicle, which was both exciting and a little scary. We also saw zebras, giraffes, and different types of antelope. One of the best moments was watching a group of giraffes standing together in the distance—it felt like something out of a movie.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the animals and their behaviour. He also made sure everyone in our group had a chance to see and take pictures, which made the experience feel personal. Being just five of us made it even better because it wasn’t crowded, and we could enjoy every moment.
It was quite hot during the day, but we stayed hydrated and didn’t let it ruin the experience. In fact, the weather made it feel like a real African safari. We shared laughs, took lots of pictures, and created memories that we will always remember.
Overall, Nhlalala Travel provided excellent service from start to finish. The trip was well planned, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a genuine and exciting safari experience.

Considerate and Knowledgeable
An excellent experience out in the bush with Benson. We got very lucky and ended up seeing two leopards in our 7 day safari. Having Naivasha and Nukuru sandwiched between the Mara and Amboseli made the trip pacing diverse enough that each new animal encounter felt exciting and fresh. Our driver Benson was very calm on the roads and did a great job taking our inevitable car breakdowns in stride and did everything he could to make up for any loss of time (these vehicles get absolutely pummeled on these roads).
Would take this tour again without question. Definitely spring for the mid-tier package, the quality of the uograded lodges is spectacular.

Responsive, helpful, flexible. Highly recommended
We booked a trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe from Australia. Tanja helped us at every step providing options, insight and clear communication. She was very responsive and contactable. Nothing was too much trouble.
The logistics worked perfectly and the trip went without a hitch. It was awesome.
I would highly recommend the company and Tanja.

Reliable and customer oriented.
I express my deepest gratitude to the company and Moses in particular. The entire tour was held in a friendly and calm atmosphere, and Moses's driving skills were impeccable. He tried to show us absolutely every animal and every species in the park. He asked about our preferences, and it was clear that he is an experienced guide with a wealth of knowledge. We saw everything we wanted and even more. The tour went on schedule and according to plan. Thank you again for such a wonderful adventure!

A Perfect, Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Honeymoon Safari with Nortaz Safari
Our safari in Tanzania with Nortaz Safari was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the very beginning, Paul (the owner) was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and hands‑on with the planning. He made everything feel seamless and personal, and his support didn’t stop once the trip began. He even met up with us afterward just to chat and make sure everything exceeded expectations, which it absolutely did.
Our guide, Freddy, was phenomenal. He was warm, patient, and unbelievably skilled at spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of animals and learned so much along the way. His energy set the tone for the entire experience.
The accommodations were next-level. The Four Seasons Serengeti was breathtaking, and the Ngorongoro Lodge overlooking the crater felt like something out of a dream. Every stop was comfortable, beautiful, and perfectly chosen.
One of the highlights was the sunrise hot air balloon ride, which was pure magic — floating over the Serengeti as the sun came up is something we’ll never forget.
Everything about this trip was perfect. We would 100% recommend Nortaz Safari to anyone considering a Tanzanian safari, and we’ll be telling all our friends. It was unforgettable in every way.

Unforgettable Experience in Uganda!!
We have just returned from an unforgettable trip to Uganda, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Everything was perfectly organized by Jungle Destination, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of the journey without any worries.
We would especially like to highlight our Safari Guide Driver, Benjamín S., who truly made a difference throughout the trip. His professionalism, kindness, and warm personality stood out from the very beginning. He was always incredibly approachable and made us feel comfortable at all times.
What impressed us the most was his constant availability and attentiveness. He was always one step ahead of our needs, anticipating what we might require before we even had to ask. Whether it was adapting to our schedule, offering helpful suggestions, or simply making sure we were okay at every moment, Benjamín S. went above and beyond to ensure our experience was smooth and enjoyable.
He is undoubtedly a great asset to Jungle Destination, and a key reason why our trip was so special. We highly recommend this company, and if you are lucky enough to have Benjamín S. as your Safari Guide Driver, your journey will be even more exceptional.
Thank you for everything from The Sisters Africa and Isabel

Can't imagine how it could be better
Our guide Moses was very experienced, clearly the king Maasai Mara! He made sure we always had VIP seats in the park. We were very impressed, being able seeing the all the animals so close. Everything went very smooth with them, being reliable, communicative and well organized. That not always being the case in Kenya in our experience. Also great value for money! We had a great safari, we highly recommend! Thank you!

10 days itinerary between Rwanda and Uganda
We booked with Wild Uganda our 10 days trip between Rwanda and Uganda and it was exceptional!
Overall it was an incredible experience, definitely worth the money ie we would have not thought you were getting so many boat trips, game drives and amazing lodges even on a mid budget. Would definitely recommend to travel during rainy season everything is green and the rain goes away very quickly while temperatures are still bearable. We barely got rain during our trip in April 2026.
We are really thankful to Brian - our guide - as he is very knowledgeable and could always help us spot great animals as well as being very easy to hang around.
Would absolutely recommend to book a trip with Wild Uganda and Brian as they really gave us the best deal!
Full itinerary below:
We started off in Kigali where Brian picked us up at the hotel and showed us the city - including the Market - before moving to the Volcano National Park and see Golden Monkeys (c. 1h easy flatish hike 1800 m above see level)
After that we moved to Uganda and went to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where we stayed at Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge (highly recommended lodge with a unique view on the national park). The following day we met the gorillas after a 1h hike, just above 5 km in total and easier than expected as all gorilla families were quite close the base camp that day. After meeting these incredible animals we drove to Lake Bunyonyi - really cool go with the boat around the lake and get to know the local history. Here you could also teach kids how to swim as most can’t swim and swimmers are very welcome to spend a day with the kids! We stayed on an island at Itambira Island, Seeds of Hope (another extremely nice stay organised by Wild Uganda !!). The following day we move to Queen Elisabeth NP where we immediately did a game drive in the safari and thanks to Brian skills we saw our first Leopards. During the night elephants came in from of our lodge which felt it very special! We spent another day doing game drives, boat tours and managed to see the big 4 (no rhinos yet). Following day we went to see chimps (easy hike, c. 2h total 4k) , which got very close to us after more than 1h waiting and looking at them on the trees. Following day was a transition day where we managed to meet a coffee master which made coffee with us and a meal with a beautiful landscape (pic) and stayed at Irungu Forest Safari Lodge for the night (insane view of the valley).
We then arrived at Murchison Fall NP, saw the falls, more boat tours, did 3 game drives saw more leopards, 5 lions and lot of giraffes.
We kept rolling and ended up at the Rhino sanctuary were saw the last of the big 5 :)
They also got very close to our lodge and one fell asleep 10 meets from it (!). We also saw 20 zebras (c. 90% of the zebras in this park). The day after we went to Lake Victoria and tried to see if we could find the shoebill - unfortunately for us it kept flying every time we were getting close to it but still managed to get beautiful pictures of it!
Note, we travelled as a family of 5 (4 swedish and 1 Italian)
