Trip of a lifetime supported by an amazing team
Tanvi, Malvika and the rest of the Chalo team crafted the most amazing Namibia itinerary for us. They secured lodgings and upgrades for us at accommodations we had always dreamed of, and stayed flexible whenever we had sudden changes such as last minute changes from our airline. They were very responsive and we had great confidence going into Namibia that everything would fall in place - and it did! During the trip, the Chalo team checked in on us via a WhatsApp group to make sure everything was okay. This was first class, white-glove service and we are so grateful for the Chalo team. Thank you for creating the trip of a lifetime for us!

A Truly Seamless, Memorable African Adventure – Thanks to Chalo Africa
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest thanks to the Chalo Africa team for orchestrating such an unforgettable trip to Africa. From start to finish, everything was beautifully planned and flawlessly executed. We didn’t have to worry about a single detail—every transfer, booking, and experience went off without a hitch.
Working with Chalo Africa was an absolute pleasure. You took care of everything for us—from crafting the perfect itinerary to selecting breathtaking resorts and hotels. Thanks to you, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the magic of Victoria Falls, the wonders of Kruger National Park, the charm of Stellenbosch, and the vibrance of Cape Town. Every destination was a highlight, and together they created memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.
I’m so grateful for the care and thought you put into our journey. It was good to know that we could trust you completely and that we got the best experience at the best price! Thank you for making it all so easy and so special!

Fabulous !!
We wanted to experience the Great Migration in the Serengeti during the peak River crossing season ( Aug first week ) and were wondering how to go about it .
We were recommended Chalo Africa by one of our friends and it was one of the best decisions that we took !
Smitha , Malvika and their team from Chalo Africa guided us all the way - from planning our itinerary dependng on our budget to giving us options along the way . They also suggested the flights / insurance best suited and set up a whatsapp group closer to the travel dates to be always connected . All internal flights were taken care of by them ( fly in safari is highly recommended especially to Northern Serengeti )
Since it was the peak of the peak season ( Aug first week ) in order to experience the Great Migration and River Crossing they suggested 3 nights in Northern Serengeti . Lodges were fully booked up but they managed to get us 3 nights at the Nyakini Migration Camp which gave us a real out in the wilderness feel ! We witnessed 2 stunning River Crossings not to mention the abundance of other game there.
Then they suggested 2 nights in Eastern Serengeti to get a more personal and private safari experience away from the crowded Great Migration Northern . That was at the luxurious Olmara Camp where it was glamping at its best ! Big cats country didnt disappoint .....numerous sightings of lions & cheetahs with practically no other vehicles close to us .
Rounded off our Tanzania experience with the sureal Ngorongoro Crater where they booked us at Gibbs Farm which was next level luxury !
Chalo africa team was professional , helpful and always listened to all our concerns and we thank them for making us experience being in a National Geo movie in the Serengeti for 6 days !!

Truly amazing safari experience!
Ai Lin, Malvika and team has been fabulous in helping us to plan our honeymoon visit to Tanzania from initial introduction to lodge selection. We had zero idea in the beginning and they were super patient and detailed when answering our questions. They set up a whatsapp group before our departure and reminded us all important items. The safari experience was superb and the camps/lodged we lived in were great. The ground operators Asilia/Siringit were very professional and the guides were amazing! Overall it is a truly delightful experience!

Chalo was amazing!
My husband and I started planning this trip over a year in advance with no idea at the time where we wanted to go and where we should stay. I found Chalo Africa while I was looking for potential agents to plan our adventure. We worked with Tom and Malvika who answered every question I had from safari itinerary to deciding on a resort in Zanzibar. They offered advice on international flights which we booked on our own, to all of my luggage and packing questions and which beach resort we would like to visa's and travel insurance. As the trip got closer we decided to add a short stay to the front of our tour before the official safari, a hot air balloon ride and changed our room type in Zanzibar which they were able to do without problem. Tom knows Tanzania very well and we were able to visit the National Park in Arusha and stay at a very new camp for our first couple of days. The trip itself went smoothly from our initial VIP greeting when we landed in Kilimanjaro to transportation when needed and then the safari which was amazing. The Chalo team had a WhatsApp call a couple of weeks before the trip and were there if needed as the safari progressed. We came home and have told all of our friends that it truly was a trip of a lifetime.
We would definitely recommend using them for any safari needs!
