Trip of a lifetime.
It was a trip that I thought was unattainable. I could not have been more wrong. After doing some research I found a wonderful safari company. I did a mobile camping safari. Incredible game drives during the day , bush walks and dinner under the South African night sky. Imagine falling asleep to the sound of a male lion roaring in the distance or hippos snorting in the river nearby. I fell so in love with Botswana on that trip that I was booked on another safari two months after returning home. Best vacation ever!!!

very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals the choice of the lodges were excellent
It was delightful to meet Hillary and Izikio at the Kilimanjaro airport. our safari started the next day in four days we visited Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks, very we had breaks for lunch and the packed lunches were OK. but the dinners at the lodges were very good the lodges were comfortable with hot and cold water .the roads are mainly bumpy if anyone has back problem this ride going to be really painful.
the night stay in Serengeti national park was unforgettable you can hear lions roar all night ,and sunrise and sunset are amassing it is a life experience not to be missed

Absolutely amazing Safari!!
I booked my trip with Magical Destinations Safaris and Angelina and it was an absolutely amazing experience one of a kind that I will never forget.
I chose and planed a route of three national parks I wanted to go to over the 8 days. From there Angelina took care of everything else. She picked us up from the airport and made sure everything was alright during the entire trip. Our driver John was patient with us to take pictures or when we wanted a break and always on time for pickups and drop offs.He was our driver and he was excellent the whole trip, he could pick out animals from an amazing distance and tried his very hardest to make sure we had seen every animal we could during our game drives. Although there is no guarantee of what you can see during your trip we ticked every box and were even lucky to see a leopard twice and a lion kill a wildebeest.
Our selected accommodations were totally suitable for what we needed.
And it was all completed with Angelina seeing us off at the airport on our way home to get a direct feedback from us. Everything was good throughout the trip , the services from both Angelina and John was first class.
I was worried prior to going , and worried I had done the right thing booking all of this over email and the internet , transferring money from a far country was risky – but there was absolutely no issues, so if anyone is worried and wants any reassurance please feel free to drop me a message. I'd highly recommend this company for your next safari! Asante sana Angelina.

Great experience!
We just finished a 5 day safari in serengeti, ngorongoro crater and tarangire national park and it was amazing! I was with my partner and we shared a jeep with 4 other persons (1 couple and 2 solo travellers). We arranged everything via Hillary, he was super helpful and did not mind answering all our questions several times. It was very easy to communicate with him via whatsapp before, during and after the trip.
Our driver/guide Mandela was a great spotter, we got to see all the big 5 (and the ugly 5!) several times during our time there. We slept in public campings which offered basic sanitary infrastructure, ideal for young travellers. Dionis was our chef, and every meal we were surprised about how good it was. The good dinner after a full day safari was really appreciated.
The overall organization was great, since our arrival at the airport everything was smooth and taken care of for us which allowed us to enjoy every day without worrying about any detail.
Thanks again Hilary, Mandela and Dionis for an unforgettable experience!

Ute at Roho Ya Chui was very helpful and quick to respond to all of our questions.
Ute was great! There was a slight mix up the how the local flights were booked, the airline was given a name that didn't match a passport but all in all Roho Ya Chui was outstanding. I think using a tour operator in a country like Zambia can make booking a safari much easier. And of the companies we worked with, Roho Ya Chui was among the best.

Tour operator was easy to work with and driver was great.
We had a great time on our trip. Booking the trip was easy, James accommodated all our requests and modified our trip to our liking. Communication before and during trip with James was easy and quick. Our driver Juma was knowledgeable and got us around safely and efficiently. The lodging was great, the scenery on our trip was unique and unforgettable. Overall a great choice we made picking Wildlife Sun Safari for our Kenyan adventure!

Murchison Falls National Park (Uganda) with Martin
Martin Janvier Kwizera has been an excellent driver and companion to discover the fauna and flora of Murchison Falls National Park. He has shown us the most beautiful spots and had a very good knowledge of where the animals were hiding in the savannah. Moreover, he has answered with competence all our questions. Last but not least, he was flexible and with a great sense of humour. Absolutely to recommend.

Excellent organised trip to Ngorongoro crater
I can highly recommend the tour operator. Everything was well organised and we had an amazing safari day at Ngorongoro crater. Would do the same tour again. It is really worth the money.

Trip of a Lifetime
After accepting an invitation to attend a professional conference in South Africa, I researched tours to supplement my trip. My goal was to see as many animals as possible. The positive reviews of Mmilo Tours led me to book with them, and it was a great decision. Easy to communicate with and fast response times, along with easy online payment. I traveled solo and was concerned about safety. Having a dedicated guide pick me up at my hotel put me at ease. I booked two tours with Mmilo, both led by Willem who is very knowledgeable and showed me so much. One tour was the day-long Pilanesberg Game Reserve and the other was another day-long tour of smaller animal refuges. I was game for side trips, and Willem drove us through Hartbeespoort Dam and other off the beaten path scenery. I appreciated that Willem communicated with me via WhatsApp once I landed in SA, so I never worried about pickups at the hotel. Patrick gave me a great tip about getting an early morning breakfast from my hotel, and I'm grateful for that tip because it's not something I would have thought of on my own! I added an extra tour last minute and it was no problem for Mmilo to accommodate me. I researched many tour companies before going with Mmilo and I'm absolutely happy that I did and recommend them to others. Will absolutely use again.

We were really happy with the agency and our agent Ute Sonnenberg
In reviewing any company it is the people that you work with that make the difference. Ute was able to not only give us the vacation we wanted, but make adjustments to our personal tastes. She listened to what we wanted and saw that we got it, rather than trying to fit us into her program, she adjusted the program to fit us! Everything went off as planned and without any hitches. Seems Ute anticipated everything we needed and when we would need it. We were really pleased with her service and professionalism! The Tour was lovely...in so many ways! Real attention to details. Top notch resorts, top class details.....Lots of laughs and fun! Plan to use Ute in the future, she is a real find and Roho Ya Chui seems to have all the right connections in all the right places. Would do it all again! ...or should I say "will" do it again.....the palns are in the works!
