It left me breathless, gorgeous, five stars aren't enough!
I have to say that I had a small problem when I had to receive my itinerary and flight tickets but besides this, it was a fantastic experience. Everything was perfect! Beautiful place, the staff were very friendly, and the safari guide was the best I've ever met!

Sharp guide, excellent safari experience!
We did a 5-day safari with Gideon: 4 days in Serengeti and 1 day at Ngorongoro. It was organised at a good pace, and we did not feel rushed for time throughout our safari. Gideon is really good at finding animals and often spots them before others - also handy as they tend to run away when too many cars crowd around! He knows the place well and brought us to find the wildebeest migration in the western corridor on one of our days. Definitely worth paying for a really good guide like Gideon!
His car is well-equipped and comfortable for long days out and game drives - has wifi, you can charge your batteries in his car (English plug-point), and has a fridge too! He provided a crate of beer for our trip which was very welcome at the end of our long days! He provided us with a few books on the kinds of animals/birds you find during the game drives - for anyone interested in knowing more about the environment around!
He's very happy to be flexible about plans - so just speak to him if you have any particular plans/ concerns. Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding Experience
We have had the privilege of taking two safaris with Bright African Safaris. Both experiences were simply outstanding. Msangi, the owner, is incredibly responsive and friendly. He does a wonderful job choosing guides, maintaining vehicles and choosing itineraries and places to see. Both times, our guides were incredible, enabling us to see the Big Five and so much more. We highly recommend Bright African and can't wait to go back and see the Serengeti with them again.

Wonderful Company & Wonderful Experiences
My girlfriend and I had an absolutely incredible experience with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaries. We booked a 7 day trip stopping over in the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Ambroseli National Park. The company itself was very professional and attentive. From the moment they picked us up in the airport to the time they dropped us off, they did everything possible to make our experiences unforgettable. Our guide and driver, Marcos, was an excellent wildlife tracker (we saw 4 of the Big Five and many more), but more than that, he had such a positive outlook and an infectious laugh, that made our trip that much more enjoyable. We also had a cook, Jacob, who made delicious & fresh meals 3 times a day whilst we were on safari. What a luxury! In terms of experiences we did: a cycle safari, a horseback safari, many game drives, hiking, visited elephant & giraffe sanctuaries, and a boat safari where we saw hippos just metres away!
Some helpful tips on what to bring: 1) Flashlight (preferably the kind you can put on your head so you can have your hands free) 2) Binoculars (go for the best you can afford) 3) Mosquito Spray 4) Safari hat (to cover from the strong sun during midday) 5) Camera with a big zoom.
Again, we couldn't recommend this company enough! When we come back to Africa, we will certainly be using them again :)

Exceptional Safari Experience
My wife and I had been on several safaris between us and this was far-and-above the best safari experience we have had; on the trip we did the central Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Lomo's communication was clear and timely from the beginning, and Erasto, the managing director and guide, was a true professional. He was full of good information, genuinely interested in sharing about wildlife but also Tanzania in general, very attentive to ensuring logistics were perfectly planned, and committed to finding the animals we wanted to see. I highly recommend Lomo for your Tanzania safari experience.

Three-day Victoria Falls Tour & Safari
For my birthday my mom and I decided to take a short trip to Botswana, do a half-day safari tour and then visit Victoria Falls. It was difficult trying to plan the trip on my own, so I reached out to Vayeni and spoke with Mel who helped plan the entire trip. Not only did we finally see lions on our safari, but we actually had a chance to pet and walk with them at the Lion Encounter, followed by the private Elephant Encounter, and a evening luxury cruise on the Zambezi River. What a fabulous experience!! I cannot express enough the amazing time we had due to her insight, coordination and flexibility. Our experience is one that we will remember fondly for a lifetime, and the hospitality of the staff was wonderful. Many, many thanks, and I would strongly recommend this company to anyone interested in traveling there.

Great Team
All of the team members at Kili Boys Tours took great care of my family while we were in Tanzania. From the time we landed until the time we departed they were always cheerful, reliable and knowledgeable. We climbed Kili (to the top), do day excursions around Moshi (Marangu waterfalls, Masia Tribe visit) and went on a safari that included Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara). We did it all and they handle it all. Thank you Paul, Dismas and the entire Kili Boys Tours TEAM!

Amazing Experience!
My girlfriend and I did a 4 day trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was epic! We saw so many big cats, exactly as we wanted! Lions fighting over food with a pack of hyenas, cheetahs stalking their breakfast (gazelles), leopards sleeping in trees next to their kill, and so on. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything from the wildlife to the local tribes, and perhaps more importantly he knew every park inside and out and was always finding the best spots for us. We chose the "mid range" accommodation but for us it was total paradise, if it were us we would call it luxury! One night we had a view over Lake Manyara and ate a delicious dinner in a restaurant built around a huge Baobab Tree; on another night we were in a luxury camp right in the middle of the Serengeti and could sit around a campfire and watch "African TV" (i.e. the wildlife).
During the booking process, Mack and his team were super friendly, helpful, and professional the whole time, answering all our questions and even making special preparations for us. After we got back to Arusha they even organized an extra customised tour for us to see Kilimanjaro and some sights around Moshi the following days at a very good price! We would definitely book again with Kili Tours!

Outstanding Namibian Safari
We had a 12 day accommodated safari that arranged and led by Wild Dog Safaris. It was excellent! Our guide, Ian, was first class and extremely knowledgable of the animals, birds and the Namibian culture. The accommodations were in 4-star lodges, the Erongo Wilderness Resort and Okonjima Reserve were particularly memorable. The vehicle provided by Wild Dog was comfortable and excellent for game viewing and photography. The variety and number of animals and birds in Etosha National Park was very impressive. This was my 4th African safari and it was the best!

Friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgable. A great overall experience
We had an amazing 5 day safari with Gideon. We spent 4 days in the Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorongoro. Gideon was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and was dedicated to making our safari experience as interesting and fun as possible. There was even wifi in the car and free beer! The tents were also comfy and the food was great. I would definitely recommend them.
