Unforgettable Safari Experience - 10/10 with Beacon Safaris
We had a 💯 experience with Beacon Safaris from start to finish.
The booking process was smooth and personal. Elaine took time to understand our needs and tailored our itinerary perfectly. Our tour guide, Carlos, was absolutely amazing. He made the trip exciting, adventurous, and unforgettable.
The wildlife encounters were mind-blowing. We had front-row views of a lioness and her cubs, lions mating, elephants up close, rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, and buffalo in their herds. We also got to see the Big 5 across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Hell’s Gate National Park.
Beacon Safaris made our stay in Kenya truly beautiful. It was an awesome experience for my wife and me, and one we’ll always cherish. I highly recommend Beacon Safaris for anyone looking for an enriching and well-organized safari.

Explore Plus supported by Predator Safari’s exceeded all expectations and is your no 1 safari
Our Serengeti experience with Explore Plus was a once in a life time Wow experience!
Dennis our guide was the best we could ever have asked for. He took us on roads less traveled and made us feel so special. His knowledge of the fauna and flora were so enlightening and gave us a great perspective of Serengeti and its inhabitants. The arrangements at the lodges, the transportation and the surprise breakfast on our last day at Serena Serengeti were seamless and beyond professional! Communication was excellent, 24 hour support, best value for money (great accommodations and fabulous meals) and the tour was well planned. We were treated like royalty,
Thank you so very very much! You are the best agency we ever booked with.
You shall see us again, hopefully soon 👏

A trip organized by solid professionals
We traveled for over two weeks from north to south of Ethiopia, coinciding with the Easter rites and visiting sites of major historical, religious, and ethnic significance. Our overall assessment is largely positive.
Excellent organization, well-timed, interesting stops, and appropriate rest stops.
The entire staff, from trip preparation to communication, from the welcome to the intermediate, final, and post-trip phases, demonstrated extreme professionalism and preparation. Everyone proved to be excellent professionals, and even all the drivers were very friendly!
And yet, throughout the trip, we felt supported at all times by a superb guide, to whom we can only pay tribute and applaud for his preparation, his never dull conversations, and his wide-ranging expertise, which demands knowledge and passion for this work and for the country that hosted us. The country's richness of nuances would otherwise be difficult to grasp without such a solid and attentive partner, attentive to our desires and requests. Such well-organized trips make you want to return soon!

Beyond exceptional – A flawless luxury honeymoon experience!
I rarely write reviews, but the service we received from Akondo Adventures was so far beyond exceptional that I have to share. For our honeymoon, we did a 3-day tour covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and it was flawlessly executed from the moment we started planning.
Boris, the owner, handles the organization with incredible precision and attention to detail. His pricing is very fair, and the value you get is truly premium. He took it upon himself to add some magical touches for our honeymoon, including a complete surprise—our wedding photo beautifully displayed on the back of our safari jeep! Boris is also incredibly well-connected; the luxury lodges he lined up for us were outstanding, and the staff at each property treated us with a level of hospitality that exceeded all expectations. Every logistical detail was handled with zero mistakes.
Then there was our guide, Richard, who was a total professional and an absolute joy to be around. He was waiting for us right at the airport with cold drinks and refreshments, setting the tone for the entire trip. Richard’s knowledge of the wild is mind-blowing—he didn't just spot animals, he explained their behaviors and life cycles in a way that made the experience so much richer. Thanks to him, we checked off the Big Five and enjoyed jaw-dropping, close-up encounters with lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
If you want a flawless, high-end, and deeply personal safari experience, Akondo Adventures is the gold standard. Thank you, Boris and Richard, for making our honeymoon unforgettable!

Wonderful, unforgettable adventure!
We selected African Big Cats Safaris company after reviewing over twenty offers. The company gave us a very professional impression already at the stage of planning of our trip. They were the only ones replying with a program taylored to all our specific requests. We spent five wonderful days with them in a private safari tour.
Before the start of the Safari the Head of the company came to our hotel and gave us an extensive briefing.
Our driver and guide was extremely professional, kind, attentive to our interests and making all efforts to keep us happy. Thanks to him we saw the Big five and even more important, we experienced so many exceptional moments ( for example witnessing first moments of newly born antelopes, inter alia). He was truly passionate about wildlife. When we wished we stayed very long to watch animals, and in many places also escaped other safari cars which seemed as very exclusive safari
The lodges booked by the company were exactly those that we wanted. All very good quality both in terms of accommodation and food. The car was very comfortable and had a roof we could open and watch animal through it.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience. It was worth every penny. We would certainly recommend the African Big Cats Safaris company and our guide. We would definitely book with them again.

Best experience- Kilimanjaro climbing Northern Circuit Route!
My husband and I just completed the Northern Circuit Route on Mount Kilimanjaro, and thanks to the incredible team at Nafika Tours, we successfully reached the summit!
Our senior guide, Innocent, was truly phenomenal leading us with strength, wisdom, patience, and constant encouragement throughout the journey. Aloyce, our assistant guide, showed the most genuine care, professionalism, and skill while guiding us every step of the way.
We were a group of four climbers, and the entire team remained positive, supportive, and fully committed under the leadership of Innocent and Aloyce. Every day was well organized, with clear plans, twice-daily health checks including vital signs and symptom monitoring, and detailed briefings to prepare us for the next day. The guides always gave us the right balance of motivation and guidance without making us feel intimidated.
The food was excellent! Our cook Arnold and server Abel paid attention to every detail and truly exceeded our expectations.
The equipment was also top quality, including comfortable tents, warm sleeping bags, and a clean portable toilet. Every day when we arrived at camp, the crew welcomed us warmly on the trail, helped carry our daypacks, and even dusted off our shoes. We honestly felt treated like royalty.
Summit night began with a thoughtful prayer, and during the cold, dark hours of the climb, the guides’ singing gave us the energy and motivation we needed to keep moving forward. Their support inspired trust and helped make our summit success possible.
We highly recommend Nafika Tours to anyone looking for the safest, most skilled, comfortable, and unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience.
A few helpful tips:
1. Follow the packing list carefully every item is important, including a pee bottle. (Ladies, there are adapters available that make this much easier.)
2. Be prepared for very cold temperatures.
3. Donate any clothes or gear you do not need afterward. The guides and crew work incredibly hard, and extra shoes or clothing are always appreciated.
4. Listen carefully to your guides and follow their advice this is one of the biggest keys to success.
5. Pole pole and sippy sippy!
Just do it and good luck!

We had a really good experience! Everything was well organized, reliable, and tailored to our wishes
We spent three days on safari in Mikumi National Park with Mansoor as our guide, and it was an experience we’ll always remember. He picked us up in Dar es Salaam and drove us to Mikumi, his car was excellent and perfectly suited for the safari.
Mansoor is patient, friendly, knowledgeable, but also very reliable. He listened carefully and made sure to accommodate every wish we had, which made us feel truly cared for.
I would recommend Mansoor to anyone looking for a warm, trustworthy guide and a memorable safari in Mikumi.

Fast in answering queries
I had an amazing safari experience with Kale Voyages. Everything was very well organised from the beginning, and the whole trip exceeded my expectations.
Oscar was always available and replied almost instantly to every question or concern we had, which made the planning process very easy and stress-free.
The team that accompanied us during the safari was absolutely excellent. Our driver was professional, experienced, and always made us feel safe while helping us spot incredible wildlife. The chef was also outstanding — the food was delicious every day and far better than we expected during a camping safari.
I would definitely recommend Kale Voyages to anyone looking for a reliable company and an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.

Proviem Safaris are reliable and provide competitively priced activities in the Victoria Falls area
After carefully reviewing several different providers (including the major commercial online one’s), we selected “Proviem Safaris” for two safari’s based from Victoria Falls. One to Chobe (Botswana) and one for Hwange. We asked each of the tour operators the same questions and Proviem Safaris quickly provided the most comprehensive responses, while offering a very competitive quote (one other of the other operators even said they would select it for that price!)
We also knew that Proviem Safaris was a small company based in Zimbabwe and wanted to ensure they would be able to keep all the profits (which we have done before for activities in other countries).
Once selected, we contacted Musawenkosi several times before our trip to confirm all details and requirements for the trips. He always politely responded with clear and helpful communications, which gave us confidence in him.
On the day of the first Safari (Chobe), Musawenkosi arrived on time and with a clean vehicle to transfer us to the boarder. He remained with us during the boarder formalities and ensured we were clear of the process. He led us to the Safari guide and remained with us the whole day. The actual safari run by another Botswana team and the day was great – with a morning land safari by jeep, lunch, followed by a water safari. We arrived back to our hotel at around the time Musawenkosi had already told us.
The second safari to Hwange was a very early start and Musawenkosi recommended we order a packed breakfast from our hotel. He was comfortable with us eating this in his clean car during the long, difficult and bumpy drive to Hwange. As before, Musawenkosi took us to a local guide and remained with us the whole day, returning us to our hotel.
We paid for each safari on the day (with $ dollars), as agreed in advance directly to Musawenkosi. As the 2 trips were successful, during our drive back to the hotel we decided to book a short morning helicopter flight over the falls through Proviem Safaris. Musawenkosi gave us a good price, but requested payment in advance and that another person would collect us in the morning. We now had confidence in Musawenkosi and accepted this condition. True to his word, the helicopter team arrived to pick us up on time and the flight was great.
We would recommend using Proviem Safaris/Musawenkosi to help arrange and book any activity in the Victoria Falls area.
