Responsive and accommodating allowing for a worry free experience.
Lulu offered me prompt quotes, made special arrangements for me when my flight got delayed, and was always available throughout the trip to answer any questions that came up. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about their job. The food was amazing and the chef that accompanied us on our expedition was able to make meals that complied with all our diets.

Life Changing Experience Due to Tour Guide Chris
My partner and I enjoyed the 4 day safari in Kruger with Chris and Hopesol of Wild Planet Safari. Here are some takeaways:
1. We tented at two different campgrounds. For both Hopesol set up our tents and cots, sleeping bags and fan. The campgrounds had a fence around the exterior but we still were able to see jackals and honey badgers at night. They just added to the experience - no concerns.
2. Each day, Hopesol cooked different meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner over a fire. Delicious. Included were an English Breakfast, pancakes, fruit salads, steaks, sausage (including ostrich), lamb, chicken roast - basically more than you can eat and still be so satisfied. Hopesol was so friendly and really wanted to know how our tour was going and how to improve it. It's hard to express how much we enjoyed the four of us talking about the day and other life events while enjoying those meals at dusk.
3. Chris drove the open air jeep for several guided tours each day, morning, afternoon and early evening. Everything that any review has said about Chris being a superior guide, friendly, welcoming and funny merely approach the truth. He made our trip what I consider the best vacation/experience of my life. My partner really wanted to see as many birds as possible and Chris would stop and point them out as we crossed paths. In the end we were able to count 78 new birds! Amazing. He recommended getting an Animals of Kruger Park picture book of what we might see and it helped us keep track of what we encountered as well as looking for others to scout. In the end, Chris takes such pride in what he does and he told us he is meant to work in the bush - we could not have had a better guide.
4. Value for the money? You could not have a better experience on safari - we were able to be on our own with just Chris and Hopesol, without a group that would require us to be distracted by others needs, wants, ways. We also went on a night trip led by a Kruger ranger, on which about 20 people crowded onto a jeep. While we were able to see some nocturnal animals like huge owls, a civet, some honey badgers and also lions just lying on the road in front of us, the crowd of people was almost painful after being with just Chris on a guided tour. We also went on a a guided walk of eight in Kruger with two armed rangers; that was fun to experience the animals and so extensive land from a ground perspective. We did see zebra and wildebeests moving up close.
5. Just Go. Experience the vastness of Kruger. You will be so happy you did this. We still say, "I wish we were on safari right now."
Thanks, Wild Planet Safari. Thanks, Hopesol. Thanks, Chris. Chris, you have found something to do that makes others so happy. Not many people can say that.

A remarkable safari journey with Lomo Tanzania and Adam
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a safari with Lomo Tanzania Safari, accompanied by an exceptional driver, Adam. From the moment we embarked on our adventure, it was evident that both the company and our driver were committed to providing an unforgettable experience.The safari company's attention to detail was impeccable, from seamless logistics to knowledgeable guides who enhanced our understanding of the wildlife and ecosystems. Their dedication to conservation and responsible tourism was evident in every aspect of the trip, ensuring minimal impact on the environment while maximizing our enjoyment.As for our guide,Adamc they were not only a skilled navigator through the rugged terrain but also a passionate ambassador for the wildlife and local communities. Their expertise in tracking animals and understanding their behaviors added an extra dimension to our safari experience. Moreover, their warm personality and genuine enthusiasm for sharing their love of nature made every moment of the journey enjoyable.Overall, I highly recommend Lomo Tanzania and Adam, for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable safari adventure.

Frena was very responsive and replied to each of my requests immediately.
Frena Adventures provided great service. Ronald, my driver, was friendly and helpful, and a safe driver. He was very ready to talk about any subject, which is helpful for passing the time in the car.
I went to Nyungwe NP in Rwanda and had a very good trip. Frena took care of everything. I only had to pay for drinks. I saw great wildlife.

Superb! Wonderful safari experience, well organised couldn't of asked for much more.
We booked a 5 day safari with Reny Safaris visiting Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakura and the Masai Mara. Japeth was a pleasure to deal with, working with our schedule to minimise any extra hotel days. We were picked up from the airport and travelled straight to the first lodge and took an afternoon boat ride on lake Naivasha seeing loads of hippos and fish eagles. Elisha our driver was very friendly and knowledgable he was happy to leave early enough on the next day to have extra time on the afternoon game drive in Lake Nakura National Park, where we got to see Rhinos although at a bit of a distance, there was also loads of zebras, girafes, buffalo, monkeys. It was a really good afternoon drive. The next morning we then travelled to the Masai Mara, we even saw elephants on the road before we even reached the lodge. We then took another afternoon game drive. I don't this we could have asked for much more. Looking at a cheetah nearly go and run for prey and seeing a lion sleeping under a tree were a highlight for me. There was many other animal and I don't think I'll forgot the bull elephant spoilt most of my pictures as he was a bit excited and I think he was looking for a mate.
I would highly recommend Reny Safaris and I would definately use them again. Elisha was the best driver. The lodges were great, we always had water available. The organisation was spot on and the price was great value. We truely enjoyed the trip.

Fantastic - so accommodating and friendly.
We had a fantastic time during our stay with MoAfrika Tours. It was an amazing experience from start to finish! The tour guides are so fun, friendly and accommodating. The chef kindly cooked gluten free meals each day especially for me, which I really appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in doing a safari in South Africa to book with MoAfrica Tours.

Very good experience
One of the reasons why we have chosen Axis Safari is that they were very understanding to the situation for Russians and allowed us to fully pay for the Safari in cash.
Second best experience of the Azis were our guides Rodgers and Kaleb. They really cared about us, helped me when I felt sick, they were very good at hunting animals and finding the animals for us. Also they were always trying to tell us some interesting facts about Kenya, wildlife, masai people. So we were definitely not bored during the whole trip.
I definitely recommend Axis team and Rodgers with Kaled as guides. The price was good, the car always clean, we had free water and charging sockets. Really worth it
