professional, well-organized, offering french and english speaking tour guides
We recently went on three- day joining safari, including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and Ngorongoro Crater (April 2026) starting from Arusha. We really enjoyed our trip.
In particular, we were very happy with our tour guide, who was very helpful and knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. Most importantly, as our group consisted of English and French speakers, he was able to provide all the information in French and English, which was very impressive and and made all the difference for our group. The safari was also very well organized and everyone enjoyed the numerous animal sightings.
I would definitely recommend this safari and specially our guide, as he was able to accommodate English and French speakers equally well. Thank you for a great safari experience.

Safari.com and Dolan Sequera were superb, nothing was left to doubt.
We have been home for about three weeks since our time in Sabi Sands. We traveled for an additional two weeks in Europe and once home, our thoughts returned to this magnificent trip to South Africa. Mala Mala was our first safari experience, it will be forever impressed upon our memories. The proximity to the animals was spectacular. The experience was first rate experience in every aspect. Our guide (called Rangers at Mala Mala) was Nic, who seemed to enjoy himself as much as we did and he was uncanny how he sensed and spotted animals long before we did. The lodge was terrific, food excellent, staff even better. We very much appreciate how our Ranger, Nic ,spent much of the free time between drives checking on us and joining us for breakfast as well as several dinners. The Mala Mala Rangers seemed to be a step above the rest (granted I have limited experience). Mala Mala is such a large tract of land, yet we covered the vast majority of it over our four days there. The two drives a day just built upon each other as we became more in tune to our surroundings and fell in love with being in the bush, far more than we expected. We were transferred from Mala Mala to Idube seemlessly. Again, thanks to Safari.com arrangements. Idube provided a different but equally wonderful experience. The game drives were similarly arranged and both the food and staff was wonderful. Our guide, FJ, a 6'7" South African with a laugh that seemed to draw animals to us. His imitation of leopard calls, while done jokingly, were uncannily accurate. We spent 3 days at Idube and were then transferred back to Skukusa airport for our return to JNB airport, This transfer provided us our first real look a look at safari in Kruger vs Sabi Sands, which without a thorough investigation on my part, would not have brought the same experience as we had in Sabi Sands. The vehicles in Kruger are covered and seem to have limited visibility. Again, just an observance on my part.
While safari may seem like a once in a lifetime experience, I find it hard to believe we will not return to this wonderful area of South Africa. We enjoyed it that much Thanks again to Dolan and the Safari.com team.

The tour operator was professional, well organized, and made the entire safari experience enjoyable
I had a wonderful experience, during my safari to Pilanesberg National Park. Communication before the tour was clear and efficient, and everything was well organized from pickup to drop-off. The guide was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The safari itself was amazing, with beautiful scenery and unforgettable wildlife sightings. I also found the tour to be very good value for money, as the service was reliable and stress-free throughout. We especially thank Martin for all these applications and his patience.

Everything you could want from a safari experience!
We had an amazing first trip to Kruger with Wild Planet. Chris, our guide has a phenomenal ability to spot animals and birds, the honey badger and tiny Malachite kingfisher were particular highlights and we saw all the “big five” and “ugly five” over the five days. Hope our chef cooked amazing meals, braai were a particular favourite and his cheerful helpful manner also made our whole safari experience very special. We would like to add how helpful Thale was in dealing with our pre trip queries. Overall the experience surpassed all our expectations thanks to Chris, Hope and the team and we would highly recommend Wild Planet to anyone seeking a full safari experience.

Our driver guide was professional, knowledgeable, and very well trained, making the entire journey both enjoyable and informative. The level of service and attention to detail was excellent. I would highly recommend Mags Travel and Tours to anyone looking for a smooth, memorable, and well planned safari experience. Definetly deserve a 5 🌟

Great time with amazing Agama Tours.
Our 5-day safari and Zanzibar beach with Agama Tours and Safaris was an unforgettable experience.
Our guide Captain Bruno was a great guy and very friendly, he was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate, which made every game drive safe and enjoyable. We explored the Serengeti with breathtaking views and unforgettable wildlife encounters, we were very excited. The Ngorongoro Crater was a true highlight and made very exciting parts of the trip.
Our last 2 days at Zanzibar provided a perfect contrast to the safari. The warm ocean breeze, soft sands, relaxed and very memorable. Wonderfully organized and exceptional experience.

Wonderful Experience!
Our 6-day safari from Nairobi with Dream Voyage Safaris was truly unforgettable. We spotted the Big Five, including a rare rhino sighting in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, enjoyed a cultural visit to a traditional Maasai village, and saw incredible wildlife at Lake Nakuru National Park. The boat ride at Lake Naivasha and guided walk at Crescent Island Game Sanctuary made the experience even more special. Everything was perfectly organized, making it a truly memorable safari.

Review
Note: Our trip was in February 2025
While our trip was over a year ago, we keep going over the fond memories we made in our extraordinary visit to Uganda. From the breathtaking wildlife, the delicious food, the kind people, the beautiful hotels, to our amazing guide Jamal, we had a truly unforgettable experience.
Everything worked seamlessly starting with the communication with Annette, our Travel Consultant, who always provided us with fast answers and accommodated all our requests to tailor our dream trip. We chose a mid-range budget option, with a variety of hotels, and we never lacked for comforts - we always felt very well taken care of, and we got to experience some of the dreamiest hotels.
The key piece of our trip was our incredible guide Jamal. He is very experienced, fun to talk to, a confident and safe driver, extremely knowledgable in everything about Uganda - especially the animals!!! - and eagle-eyed in spotting all the species. When a personal situation forced us to make ad-hoc stops and detours, Jamal was incredibly acommodating and understanding, doing everything he could to support us.
We wholeheartedly recommend this 11-day trip to anyone. Go for the magnificent gorillas, but don't miss out on the endearing chimpanzees and the unique shoebill near Entebbe. Uganda truly is the pearl of Africa, and Tubale the perfect option to discover it.

Fredinah & Juma Paul were excellent to work with. We will return during high season because of them!
This was truly a life changing experience. The professionalism and organizational skills and communication skills of Fredinah made everything easy and seamless. And the expertise of Juma Paul as our guide could not have been better. Destination Connect will be the company we recommend to our friends and family and we will use them again when we return for our next safari.
