Bogotsi was Great! He was fun, personable, flexible and very knowledgeable.
We had an amazing time. We had a group of 20 and moonlight took care of all the details.
They picked us up at the border, helped us through customs, took us to our hotel and arranged all of the details for our safaris, both on land and on the Chobe river.
We lived out experience and would highly recommend moonlight to all of our friends.

Best Adventure of my Life! Forever Thankful!
Visiting Africa, and specifically gorillas, was my top bucket list item of my life. Coming from the US and not having any idea where to start or what company to trust, I am beyond grateful that I found Likana Safaris. Bonny made planning the entire trip a breeze. I let him know all that I wanted to do and see, and the luxury accommodations required to bring my mom and aunt along- and he made it happen (AND MORE)- all within Uganda and within our budget.
From the very start, he was extremely communicative. He checked in often and made any and all adjustments necessary to create our own, personalized, itinerary. We did a "14-Day Uganda Luxury Safari and Gorilla Habituation Adventure". It took us all around the beautiful country and there was always something to do. We did every type of safari you can imagine- in the open top jeep, walking, boating, hiking...I didn't know there was so many ways! We added white water rafting, chimpanzee trekking and gorilla habituation for some adrenaline rushes. The lodges they chose for us were spectacular. The staff were all welcoming, the places were clean and the views were excellent. Any changes that were needed, the lodges and Likana were able to accommodate efficiently and professionally.
Our driver David, couldn't have been better! He was so extremely polite, attentive and safe. The traffic and roads over there are definitely not like anything we ever experienced before, and he was so confident and calm in all situations and we always felt safe. He always made sure we were taken care of and went above and beyond to listen to our preferences and go out of his way to surprise us with little extras. We talked about liking mangos, next thing you know he pulls over to buy some fresh mangos...talk about pineapples, BOOM, they appear! We joked that we are going to start talking about diamonds next... :) He went out of his way to meet with the manager of the Gorilla Habituation the day prior to let them know about physical limitations members of our group had, and they were able to adjust and personalize our group to meet our needs. We felt like every activity was extremely personalized and private, which was our preference. By the end of the journey, there were tears saying bye to David, as he becomes not only your guide but your friend.
Outside of the the incredible adventure, I had a desire to help in any way I could while I was in their country. I am a pediatric SLP and discovered a non-profit called "Hope Speaks" in Uganda that provides pediatric therapy services. Bonny made a relationship happen with them for me! His persistence in getting in touch with them to make this connection for me was inspiring. This is a company that cares deeply about their clients and their country. Prior to me arriving, he met with the founder of Hope Speaks in their office in Kampala to discuss their needs and facetimed me in from the USA to meet and create a plan. He arranged a conference room at the hotel I was staying at when I arrived and the Hope Speaks team all joined for a training. The Likana Safari team also all joined in this meeting and training. They provided a space, a screen, a photographer, refreshments/snacks..etc. It was absolutely incredible what he was able to put together just so I can contribute what I wanted to within my passion area. He didn't seek payment or reimbursement for any of the work that went into arranging all of that, and Likana developed a partnership with Hope Speaks to be able to spread their mission further. This collaboration speaks VOLUMES to who they are at the core as a company. I feel very blessed to have had them by my side in this adventure of a lifetime. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Bonny, David and the entire Likana Safari team! I will hands down recommend them to any person who has a desire to discover Africa. I left feeling like I got everything I wanted and more out of that trip.

Amazing Experience!
We had a fantastic Safari with Top Selected Tours. Our guide Jackson was outstanding and very knowledgeable with an obvious passion for wildlife and the national parks in Tanzania. When planning our Safari him and his team were very responsive and helpful over email and Watsapp. He was very patient with all our ideas for the trip, changes I kept making, and his recommendations for camps to stay in turned out to be very good. I wanted to explore the western corridor, the great migration and big five action in central Serengeti, but didn’t want to always be around herds of other Jeeps. He ticked all the boxes. He genuinely cares about providing the best Safari experience possible. Also, his eye sight is outstanding.. he would see a leopard in a tree 100 metres away in low light - barely visible through binoculars, but he would catch it while driving and stop. Jackson was hard working, the jeep was comfortable, and he took care in making sure our bookings at each camp was as we asked. Highly recommend!

great arrangement from start to finish, individual approach. safari made according to us
From beginning to end, Innocent was online and answered every time I asked about any little thing. He tried to come up with a trip that we would not forget and at the same time we did not have to worry about anything. In Dar es Salaam, the driver picked us up on the spot, took us to the airport. Innocent had already taken care of the flights. After arriving in Arusha, he was waiting for us there personally, only then did we pay for the trip and the 3-day safari began. With accommodation, breakfast and dinner, and lunch was always with us. We wanted to fly directly to Zanzibar after the safari and he arranged that for us and even took us to the hotel right there. All his people are 100% professionals. I recommend their safari experience to everyone I know and don't know. The driver was amazing right on the safari, his eyes did not miss a single animal. He always tried to make sure we had the best view.

Great service and found all the rare Mara wildlife
Our two drivers were very good. They were very friendly and definitely experts in Maasai Mara. In one day we were able to see leopard, multiple elephants, a lion pride eating a buffalo, a cheetah eating a gazelle, and two lions mating. The drivers were great at communicating with other drivers and navigating to the best places in the park.
The only problems were with the back office and billing and communication. They should improve the billing and invoicing to make it much more clear how much is owed, what is included, and how to pay.

The most incredible Safari for our honeymoon, thank you Meijo Safaris!!
We booked the 5 day luxury safari package for our honeymoon, and from the very first time I contacted Meijo Safari they were incredibly helpful, responsive and professional.
The Safari was planned perfectly, communicated with everyone at Meijo was seamless and we could have asked for a better service.
Michael, our Safari guide, was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the wide life, geography and National Parks was second to none. He has a very good understanding of the parks, especially the Serengeti, and territories of the animals - meaning we saw all the big 5, some, many many times - it was wonderful.
Michael was super friendly, and made our trip seamless!
The hotels/lodges were also beautiful, with incredible views, extremely helpful and accommodating staff, and plenty of food and drink options.
I would highly recommend Meijo Safari to anyone looking to go on safari in Tanzania!

Do Not Book through this company
A very dishonest company from our experience. You see all the high rated reviews here & on TripAdvisor, pay your money, then if you are lucky the 'game' starts 2 days before your safari. Having now delved into many bad reviews the script is exactly the same. Issues with account department, not my fault, I'm trying my best for you. Multiple apologies. Your midway lodge/camp won't be booked, park entrances won't be paid for, nor transport/driver fees or fuel, oh and if you manage to actually get all that sorted by them, who will 'gently' hint that you will need to pay more, or in the worse cases leave you stranded at a park entrance or in a park until you pay more (with empty fake promises of refunds for the additional costs due to their account department errors) the time in the parks is rushed, your transport won't be the luxury comfortable, air conditioned, WiFi enabled (despite stickers on the windows) charging point enabled, cold water providing vehicle you are promised. We enjoyed our safari that we actually managed to go on, but the stress prior and during as this company tries to con you ruined much of what our holiday was for. We believe we only got what we did because I made them aware I had contacted my bank and the fraud department asked me to keep them informed of what was happening. I strong recommend you do not use this company or their sister company Africa Kenya Safaris.

Perfect!
We did the three-day Masai Mara Safari with Jaime, our Spanish-speaking guide. Everything was great; we saw the Big Five, and Jaime was always super friendly and attentive. We also had to change a flight from Nairobi, and they helped us with the airline. Highly recommended!
