The most amazing experience ever with the nicest, most knowledgable tour guides! Thank you Josephs!
We had the most amazing experience with Happy World Safaris. Joseph and Joseph (guide and driver) were excellent, really knowledgable and helpful. They were lovely people and even helped when we were unwell.
The accommodation they had booked for us was incredible, it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend them!

Wonderful tour of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi
We did a 15 day trip to Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi with Augustine Tours. The itinerary was excellent, the hotels well thought out with choices and the trip moved very smoothly. We had the same driver, Eugene, for the 12 days in Uganda and Rwanda. He really made the trip because he was so courteous, and looked after the little things. Like he cleaned the car (which was in great shape and had A/C) every night! We set a plan each evening for the next day and he was always ready early. Travel in those countries is not easy but he was great at finding restaurants and bathrooms that were clean, and he was good at suggesting changes to the itinerary if we were short on time.
Augustin was great at answering questions and staying in touch before and during the trip. If I did it over again I would cut one day from Burundi because that country does not have good museums that we saw and the best thing were the Gishora Drum sanctuary. We had a different driver in Burundi but same car and we did not connect as well but he also did a good job.
I would certainly recommend Augustine Tours for those Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. We also book a week in Tanzania with them but they outsourced it to another Safari company BMS Safari. That part did not work out and I wish Augustine Tours would have told me they were outsourcing it and I would have selected another tour operator. During the difficulties in Tanzania which related to a bad vehicle and driver/ guide that did not speak English, Augustin followed up with me via email and contacted the safari company ( unfortunately no positive outcome resulted) but he assured me he will find another vendor for Tanzania.

Top guide, top tour, competitive prices!
We're extremely happy to have chosen Mega Adventures as our TO for a Tanzanian safari. We went for a 4 days (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) tented safari.
Mohamed was very helpful and professional when setting up the tour at their office in Moshi (inside the WeTravel Hostel building).
And throughout the tour, Ibrahim was a bless, catering to our needs and preferences, and finding the most hidden animals in recondite places in the parks. He's intelligent, very knowledgeable and has a seriously uncanny ability to spot far-away animals. The lodges we were booked in were impressive, the walking tour a very valuable extra (especially the one in Tarangire!) and the parks obviously stunning.
Top experience!

Good service - more reasonably priced than high luxury
We traveled to Tanzania on Safari planned by Wayfairer travel. We used one private guide to visit three camps plus the Ngorongoro crater. Our experience was excellent. We loved our choice to have one guide and drive through the country. Wayfairer was helpful and worked with us on price. One thing I wish they had done was to let us know at the time of booking that we would need to visit a travel specialist doctor to get vaccinations. We didn't receive that information until 6 weeks before our trip and we were out of the country for business much of that time. It made our immunization visit more stressful than necessary. We loved this once in a lifetime trip and would absolutely recommend Wayfairer.

Knowledgable, professional, and an experienced local!
What a wonderful experience! My husband and I went on an 8 day safari and were not dissapointed. From initially booking the trip, the communication was very personable compared to the other tour companies we reached out too. Chris was an exceptional guide! Being a local, he was very knowledable about Tanzania, the National Parks, and esspecially the wildlife. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does and enjoys doing it. I am so glad we opted for the camping safari, it did not dissapoint. Chris had all the camping gear and loves being out in nature. His cook, Jeffrey, made delicious meals for us every day. Camping made our safari an even more memorable experience. Even if you don't want to camp, Chris can accomodate you with tented camps and lodges. After traveling to Tanzania and seeing all the big tour companies, I am very happy we chose a local, family owned company. I feel like we received a more personable, memorable experience and supported the local commutnity. The amount of wildlife we saw was unbelieveable and we have a lifetime of memories from our trip. We will definitely be using Chris again for our next Safari and will be reccomending him to all our family and friends!

Very knowledgeable and friendly service
The communication was transparent and clear. There could have been more details about the Rhino lodge and what to expect. I appreciated Mega Wild letting the lodge know of my special diet although the lodge wasn’t consistent about the amount of salt they used. The tour was great. My guide was persistent in seeking more animals through communications with other guides and the Park.

safari of 8 days with Masatu the best driver and guide.
A magical safari to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was a magical experience! Our driver and guide, Masatu was so nice, with a huge experience, he knows the places by heart, and he gave us all the informations about his country, culture, nature and he knows a lot about the wilderness and the animals. We were so lucky to have him with us for these 8 days safari. We will keep in our mind and in our heart a lovely and unique person. THANK YOU MASATU.
The rest of the trip was also organized by Takims and everything was perfect, the drivers were always nice and on time and with good advises. This is a very serious and good company.

Fantastic guide, stunning wildlife, trip of a lifetime!
My wife and I booked a 7-day safari in Kruger with Khalanga, after reviewing options with a number of tour operators. While others had fixed itineraries which they were not willing to modify at all, Khalanga tailored everything to suit our schedule, including pick-up and drop-off points at the start and end of our tour. Being our first trip to Africa, we asked lots of questions before we booked. No problem. Support from their office was friendly, fast, and very thorough. After describing our fuzzy concept of an ideal trip, they proposed a detailed daily itinerary that went beyond our expectations. Every detail was presented, from where we would stay each night, where we would have meals (including many prepared by our guide, Shoes), to how long we would be on the road each day, to an astoundingly accurate list of what we would likely see. Like everyone, we certainly wanted to see the "big animals." But we are also birdwatchers, and wanted to spend time slowly appreciating and photographing the bird life. Shoes was the perfect guide for both. He got us close to breathtaking wildlife, but we always felt safe in his care. He was always patient with us, and he is friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about what we were seeing. We also appreciated that he is an excellent expert on the bird life, showing us well over 100 species. I've taken guided tours on every continent except Antarctica. Shoes was far and above THE BEST guide I have ever had anywhere. It sounds cliche, but we had the trip of a lifetime! And the price was extremely reasonable, particularly considering our desire for "something different" from the normal safari. I have recommended Khalanga to many friends since our return, and if we ever get back to South Africa they will be the first folks we contact. Thank you, Shoes and Khalanga!
