The best and most professional tour operator in the world
This was our second time in less than 2 years working with Patrick and Mmlo Tours. They've spoiled us for any other operators! We live in the USA, and all it takes is an email to Patrick outlining interests, budget, timing, etc. and he returns a proposal with options and fantastic descriptions about everything he's recommending. Mmlo seems to have an uncanny ability to answer questions before you ask. Really thorough and clear. This most recent trip, we took Patrick up on his offer of a private guide for a safari. My friend and I enjoyed the company and expertise of Mmlo guide Norman Lok. We had the pleasure of being in Norman's care at the start of our safari trip - he took us from the airport to our safari lodge near Pilanesberg National Park, and then again on our 3rd day when he gave us a private, guided safari ride in the park, and got us to our next destination, Hartbeesport for the night. On our final day, Norman picked us up and took us to the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre, and shared some lesser known attractions with us where we saw meerkats and shopped at a fantastic craft market. When you book with Mmlo, you must request time with Norman. He is a country-wide certified guide. We learned more about the animals and the South African culture from Norman than from any of the other guides. By far. He's a gentleman, he thinks ahead to what you might need - water, a seat, Internet, etc. We will be going back to South Africa and will only use Mmlo Tours for your adventures. Oh, and I should mention, we got the time wrong for one of our evening safari drives (completely our fault) and I emailed Patrick to see if he could help us figure it out. He called me immediately and was very helpful. And it was a Saturday late in the day. The customer service is impeccable.

Smile tours is a strong company. I highly recommend them for any kind of safari.
My experience with Smile tours was awesome, the guide was very supportive with excellent communications skills. They organized two safari for us. After a long tour in Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we relaxed in an amazing waters in "kikuletwa" hot springs - not hot like expectations but warm, which was okay. We enjoyed the food which was very tasty and drinks with cheap price. We thank you Smile with us tours and the team for preparing this amazing safari for us, we will definitely use your services again.

Amazing experience
Great 4 days trip to Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth National park
We enjoyed our trip with Katsam Adventures, The owner Sam was always prompt in responding to our queries before booking this trip, Lodges were as we expected and the guide Faruk was very knowledgeable and articulate, we enjoyed the gorilla trek as this was a longtime dream, before winding up with wild life viewing in Queen Elizabeth, spotting tree climbing lions in Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth, we strongly recommend this company and Sam keep up with the good work the sky is the limit.

An adventure like no other.
My 6 day visit to Kenya was incredibly memorable, a big thanx to parrot safaris. Right from the go, all was smoothly planned...they replied to my emails very fast and on arrival at the airport everything was well arranged.
I got a chance to visit Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and spotted all the big five...our tour guide was well informed and was super friendly. The accommodation was good and they made sure i arrived on time at the airport for my flight and even made follow ups after the safari. My visit to kenya was surely something else. Am already looking forward to my next visit.
Parrot Safaris made everything simply easier and fun...i couldn't have asked for more.

Benson exceeded our expectations!
Benson replied fast on our quote request and made a nice itinerary. He was very helpful to customize it to our wishes. When we arrived in Arusha he came to the hotel to meet us and discuss the tour in person with us.
The only thing was that we had to wait at the Ngorongoro Crater entrance because they did not receive the payment. It took us a bit more than 1 hour but we found out that it was not Bensons’s fault but from the administration of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority.
So in the end everything was perfectly well organized, from the hotels to the guides to the 4x4’s and the airport transfers.
He did exceed our expectations! Thanks Benson!

Astonishing, educational, entertaining and a truly magical experience!
This was my fourth and the absolute best safari I've been to. The way the guides work to give us every little magic glimpse of the savannah's heart, is something I cannot explain with words, you have to experience it to understand that their safari can make your dream come true! Incredibly talented guides, they know exactly what it takes to give you everything you want and a little more!

Exceptional!
My friend Jessie and I did the Hawkins Mattata safari tour that took us to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. I must say that it was an exceptional safari! I have dreamt of going on an African safari since I was a child, and this one definitely met and exceeded my expectations. One important factor to me as a frequent traveler is my safety. Me and my friend were catered to and well taken cared of; from the company staff (Sylvester & Nelly) to our guide/driver (Nick), and to the staff of all of the accommodations. Everybody made sure that we are comfortable and safe at all times. The game drives were amazing! We were able to see the Big 5 of Africa, and more! Nick was very knowledgeable, easy going and fun. I think that also made our trip a successful one. I have learned so much from talking to him about different types of animals that we saw. He’s definitely passionate about what he does for a living, and also shows how he genuinely loves animals and the wildlife. Staying at camps and experiencing the culture were a highlight also. The camps were comfortable and clean. Food at the accommodations were also amazing. We also had to “extend” our safari for another day, and Sylvester/Nick were very accommodating with our requests. Overall, I highly recommend this safari, and also the company. I will definitely book more trips with this company in the future ☺️
