WHAT Q GREQT TIME WE HAD......AMAZING TOUR!!!!!
My mother and i just came back from a wonderful Kenya and Tanzania safari and we had the best time of our life on the Safari with Across The Wild Tours & Safaris. The game viewing exceeded our expectations thanks to Patrick and we saw the big five and many more animals and birds, the smaller creatures just as interesting as the larger, we learnt about them and so much more from our guides.
The lodges we stayed in were all high quality and in beautiful locations. We felt very safe throughout the safari and were well taken care of by our guide and the staff at the office. We also took part in the Balloon Ride safari in Masai Mara and the experience of watching the animals from the sky was awesome. We also had a chance to visit the masai village and interact with the local people there.
I highly recommend this company to anyone planning an African safari to East Africa more especially Kenya and Tanzania.
A great experience for a small group of six Aussie friends with Ryan and Thales' Wild Planet Safari
Our small group was fortunate to choose Wild Planet Safari to host our recent visit to South Africa and Kruger NP. Ryan and Thale met us in Johannesburg, took us to breakfast, helped organise our days sightseeing there and then collected us bright and early the next morning for the drive to Kruger. Ryan's knowledge of the birds, animals and topography is faultless and his obvious enthusiasm for locating likely spots for great viewing gave us up close photo opportunities. At one point we were surrounded by 17 lions..... (In total we spotted 29 different animals and 43 birds.) Not forgetting to mention Thales input and sharp eyes. Lungsani backstopping with preparation of meals etc made late morning breakfasts after (very) early safari welcome and dinners under the stars were great social times with Ryan and Thales extended family. We were made to feel very welcome and more than just paying customers.
Thanks from all your Aussie friends.
Regards Jim and Jan

Amazing weekend safari
At first we had trouble finding a good safari company. Then we did some research and we found Focus In Africa with many stars and many good recommendations.
We contacted the company and we met with the people. The service is very good and very kind people.
They arranged everything for us, the interfee, food, a place to sleep and transport.
The safari was on a weekend in Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. We stayed overnight in a place on top of a mountain with a beautiful view of Lake Manyara. The place we stayed in had entertainment with local music.
We saw alot of animals and the nature was so beautiful.
Thank you for the safari

The itinerary was well organised and executed word for word, the giveaways,meant a lot to us.
The itinerary was settled after email correspondences, their quick responses and suggestions was invaluable. Entire hospitality team and guided game drives left indelible marks in our lives. We saw animals, fed giraffes and learnt cultures. Surprise gifts on departure meant a lot. Looking forward to reciprocating in my next visit.

Amazing 2 day trip to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro
We started by meeting Nelson, he explained what we could expect from the trip.
He was good to answer the questions we had.
Our safari guide Herman was good to spot the animals and told us many things about them.
We saw many animals like; girafs, lions, baboons, elephants(really close), rhinos, hippos, buffalos, flamingos and many more. We were lucky to come in the baby boom season so we saw many baby animals.
We overnight in some igloos and there were amazing entertaiment from locals.
Water, breakfeast, lunchbox and dinner was included in the price

The tour was great, and ran soomethly because of the great service provided. Extremely efficient. The individuals who helped with the tour were very kind and willing to help at any moment. I would definitely recommend the use of this company, as I know I will be using it again when I go on tour.

Professional from start to finish.
I would like to thank Zippy and her team for organising the best memorable honey moon for my wife and I .We had a fabulous time in Arusha, Ngororongoro and Serengeti before flying to Zanzibar for our beach extension. Our guide was really knowledgeably ,prompt, patient and we were so lucky with wildlife we saw all the big five and we really enjoyed our Zanzibar retreat as both transfers were smooth and timely.

Life Changing Safari
My family and I had the most amazing trip to East Africa with Jim and his guides, Geoffrey, Jackson, and Edwin. Their group made is so easy to get from place to place. Their knowledge of the National Parks we visited and of the animals in the park was invaluable. We saw everything! I mean it! Lions every day, Cheetahs almost every day (which we were told was unusual), elephants, baby elephants, baby lions, baby zebras, baby pumbas. I could go on and on. The lodges they had us stay at were really amazing. I was expecting rusting lodges, but Jim had us set up in the most amazing places, with amazing views and easy access to the parks and animals.
My favorite day was in Sweetwater National Park, which is known for it's protection of the Rhinos. In the morning we watched a pride of lions finish eating a cape buffalo. Then in the afternoon we parked by the water hole and watched a herd of zebras come through, then a troop of elephants with babies (the best part!), then 6 white rhinos, and finally a group of wart hogs (pumbas) all use the same watering hole. It was the quintesencial Africa experiance and Geoffrey made it happen for us.
Our group as visited Rwanda to see the Mountain Gorillas. We got up close and personal with the gorillas in short walk. The walk we got was easy, but they assess your group and pick the right one for you. Our gorillas were very active so we were lucky to see them moving, eating, charging us and each other.
All that said, I wouldn't choose any other group for the tour. We also look forward to going with Jim on some of his other trips to Egypt and Antartica.

100% Recommend a Safari with Mussa
I did a 3 day safari with Mussa and could not have been happier with the experience. He was extremely helpful and informative from the moment he picked us up in Arusha until dropping us back off. During our game drives he took the time to explain everything about the park, animals, etc. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations and would love to go back!
