Excellent organization!
Recently had an unforgettable safari adventure organized by Destination & Connect and it exceeded all expectations. The journey was meticulously crafted, offering a perfect blend of adventure, wildlife encounters, and cultural immersion. Fredinah was extremely attentive and helpful in the planning and execution of the trip. She even checked on me and followed during the tour.
Led by the exceptional local guide, in Tumaren - Karisia Walking Safaris every moment was filled with excitement and discovery. The highlight of the safari was undoubtedly trekking experience in Laikipia It was a profound and humbling encounter that will stay with me forever. The walking safari provided an unique perspective, allowing to intimately explore the diverse ecosystems and observe wildlife up close.
The Safari tour in Masaai Mara was exceptional. During the tour the extensive knowledge of the guide about the wildlife, local customs, and landscapes enriched my experience beyond measure. I cannot recommend more Destination & Connect, for sure will leave you with cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Knowledgeable, efficient, kind and responsive to questions.
I contacted a variety of agents via Google search. After a few days of posing my questions and requirements I found myself warming to Michelle at Explore & Travel Africa. She was knowledgeable, responded quickly, and in particular paid attention to my needs. I had set a budget which we quickly exceeded (for good reasons). This was a short notice booking to take advantage of unusual availability from the uk of airmile flights with BA to JNB, celebrating my upcoming 60th.
Michelle helped me find 2 lovely but contrasting safari properties that were available at a modest discount. I arranged our transport to Hoedspruit (BA then Airlink… excellent) and Michelle arranged the private transfers to Klasserie Drift and on to Arathusa and back to Hoedspruit. These transfers worked perfectly and I am so glad that I didn’t take the alternative option of renting a car. The roads are not driver friendly!
Klaserie Drift was simply stunning. The setting and staff/service set it apart. I could not think of any worthwhile improvements that could have been made. The food was exquisite, the setting just amazing and our river view room just stunning. The aircon struggled to cope with the nearly 40 degree temperatures but luckily the ceiling fan helped. Every member of staff went above and beyond and Khutso was an amazing guide/tracker. Although we saw an amazing variety of animals, in contrast to Arathusa they were perhaps harder to find. But every one of our 6 drives delivered and then some. Highlights included lion, hyena, vultures, rhino, elephant, water buffalo but no other cats. Loads of birds too.
Arathusa was also luxurious with a wonderful room. We had some amazing sightings and in particular close encounters with leopard, hyena and wild dogs. Plenty of lion. White rhinos in The distance at dusk. We seemed a little less lucky compared to the other cars out from Arathusa however. Our guide seemed to be a bit out on his own.
In summary I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michelle at Explore and Travel Africa. Thank you! Hope to be back.

Very professional and attentive tour guide
Our tour guide Michael was extraordinary! He truly made this trip memorable. Not only was he funny and nice, but he was also very informative. We learned alot during our trip and its clear that Michael truly loves what he does. Although our trip was short (the two-day safari), Michael made sure we got to see all the animals. I would definitely recommend him as a tour guide!

Very good experience with Lambs
We made a full day Kruger with Lambs this Monday. It was a really pleasant experience. We loved the sightings, with especially 7 lions and 2 cubs among them. We saw many animals: Lambs was a perfect guide.
However, I need to highlight some things that need improvement. I made some others full days in the Kruger Park and I prefered some parts of those. With MoAfrika, no blankets are provided if it is cold when you are on the highway.
No coffee is provided either, you need to buy it by yourself.
There are some sharp visible screws on the door next to the passengers. It is a little dangerous with the dips and bumps on the road.
So, I really love the guide and his skills but Mo Afrika has some work to do to offer a total comfy and safe game drive.

African Safari
Breathtaking! Amazing!
Anyone thinking of a safari, think no more, wait no further. The experience is absolutely soul fulfilling ! My wife and I are world travelers and would not trade what we experienced here for any of our many other adventures. This was so remarkably fulfilling.
Thank you African Big Cats Safari!
We could not have asked for more. Every desire we had for our safari was expertly met. The lodges were beautiful and welcoming. The camps we stayed in were absolutely amazing, as were the people.
We could not believe such comfort could be had in the middle of the Serengeti! All of their staffs, both at ABC and the lodges and especially their camps were so welcoming. The hospitality was exceptional. We have never in our lives been treated so well. Well beyond expectations.
And even with all this done so well, we must say, our guide Endeni was the single most important part of this. All the planning, catering and care would be meaningless without a guide that can find game, educate and keep you safe.
Endeni’s knowledge is incredible, he educated and entertained us with it. We learned so much while our jaws dropped in wonderment! With Endeni we always felt safe and we always had adventure.
Thank you Endeni! You took such good care of us. You should make ABC very proud to have you.
And, yes, WE FOUND THE BIG 5! Even off season!
The pictures are amazing!! Only second to the memories.
We even saw a Calacal cat! What a rare find!
Book with African Big Cats Safari and bring a good camera and be prepared for a life edifying experience.

Excellent
We just returned from an unforgettable adventure, all thanks to See Safari Adventures. Our driver, Kelvin, and the entire team went above and beyond to make our safari experience extraordinary. See Safari Adventures offers exceptional service comparable to larger companies but at a more accessible price point. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania. Their attention to detail truly made our trip extraordinary and memorable

Excellent experience catering to our specific needs
We had a great 4-night trip with Great Apes. Tour was well-planned and paced despite our short time in Uganda. Peter ensured we had a wonderful time and his attention detail incl. getting our shoes cleaned and providing extra snacks was great.
The trip was definitely value for money with lodges in Uganda particularly memorable . We have recommended Great Apes to many people
Prior to the trip communicating with Peter was quite challenging but once on the trip we became acutely aware it was because he was making sure his clients on the current trip were having a good experience. I have no complaints and would use Great Apes again
