Perfect Serengeti Safari
We had a well organized Safari in the Serengeti. The contact with HelloTanzania was very friendly. Best value for money.

Amazing Experience!
I traveled to Kenya with Mowgli Expeditions to see the wildlife and ride on safaris. The trip was amazing to say the least. Not only did our family see the diverse wildlife, but also encountered the diverse African culture. We visited places which we would have not been able to if it were not for Mowgli Expeditions. Our family truly felt like we received an authentic and fun experience. Whether it be staying in luxury tents in the heart of the Masai Mara or watching a pride of lions wandering no more than 10 feet from our vehicle, the trip was always filled with fun events. While I was skeptical about the safety of the area, the trip was very professional and I felt safe where ever we went. I would definitely recommend Mowgli Expeditions to any adventure seeking family who wants to have some fun.

breathtaking experience with surprising comfort
The accommodation is somewhat surprising in comfort if you think, where you are located. It is clean, WC and shower work really good and the mudhuts still give you this feeling of being in the nature (well, you are: water hogs disturbing your sleep prove it).
The safaris where lifetime experiences:
Boat safari on the nearby river showed a lot oft hippos, some crocodiles and a great variety of coloured birds plus a nice sunset.
Jeep safari (private tour) brought us really close to a lot of giraffes, impalas, bucks, some water hogs, lions, hyenas (even with babys) and even some elephants and a buffalo.
The experience was rounded up by a walking safari, which revealed some really interesting things about animal-poo, termites and bird nesting sites.
The food was really good (no luxury, but just good tasting!) and the staff was more than kind.
Our guide (shout out to Deo) made this trip even more unforgettable than the animals it selves would have done. He explained so many things to us, blew our minds more than one time and really did manage to make this safari fitting our needs. Thanks a lot!

Everything went like clockwork on our trip to Chobe and Vic Falls.
Well organised, good accommodation, excellent people on the ground in both Botswana and Zimbabwe. The pre-trip information from Compass Odyssey is the best I've seen - comprehensive, helpful and relevant. An outstanding experience in every way.

Utterly fabulous trip!
I expected to love traveling in Namibia, but our 9-day tour with Nature Travel totally surpassed my expectations! Namibia is stunningly gorgeous and I can imagine no better way to experience the country than the trip that Nature Travel prepared for us. We went to all the spots a first-time visitor would want to see from the red dunes in Sossusvlei, to Swakopmund, to Etosha with many stops in between. The lodges were all lovely and the countryside you drive through is unending beauty. But what made the trip so special was having the best guide imaginable--Previous Tsvigu. Not only had he spent years working in the parks and in conservation, but he is also a passionate birder. So he knew the birds and animals in a way that brought the experience to life. He could easily identify all the birds we encountered, and had an incredible eye for spotting them. In Etosha, his intimate knowledge of the animals and their habits helped him to predict where they would be and when they would move, so he was able to place us in the best spots for viewing them. He was also deeply knowledgeable about Namibian history and culture and always generous with his knowledge. And he had a ready smile and laugh. We would not have seen half so much without him, even visiting the same places.
From initial contact and trip preparations through to the day we left, Nature Travel could not have been more attentive and professional. Thank you for an utterly fabulous trip!

Exceeded our expectations
The entire staff of Spirit of Kenya contributed to making our 10 day safari a great trip. From recommendations on accomodations to solving international wire issues down to providing beanbags for telephoto lenses - the staff responded quickly.
But the most important part of the safari in my opinion is your guide. He is the one that will make or break your trip.
John was just an awesome guide. His knowledge of the animals and his uncanny ability to predict their movements even before they knew themselves was amazing.
John made sure we not only saw just about every animal there was to see, but were close enough to get some fantastic pictures making this amateur photographer feel like a professional.
His sense of humor and infectious laugh made the long bumpy drives fly by.
It is a trip we will never forget.
We would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya.

Our amazing safari with Sababu Safaris!
**I also posted this on Trip Advisor**
WOW. What can I say? This was the trip.of.a.lifetime! My husband and I decided to do our wedding anniversary in Tanzania and went with Sababu Safaris after contacting a number of Tanzania-based tour operators. Working with them from start to finish in planning our 8-day safari was a breeze. Denise was quick to respond and very attentive. She explained everything there is to know about the national parks and places to go and stay - I don't think there was anything she could not arrange for us.
Tanzania itself is beauty encapsulated, however, the attention and care that our guide Modi provided was beyond exceptional. He is a walking encyclopedia and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the most exclusive animal sightings. Seeing the animals up close in their true, natural habitat and experiencing the beauty of Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti was a dream come true!
What made our safari super special was when we stopped at a Maasai village to give a family a solar light. This wasn't something staged, Modi just chose a village that looked like it didn't have any sources of electricity, and after he explained to the elders why we were there we were welcomed into their home. Seeing their faces when we turned the light on in one of their huts gave me goosebumps!
I have never had any other experiences with other safari companies, but I would book with Sababu Safaris over and over if we had the time and money for it, and I have already recommended them to family and friends! What I loved most is how they give back to the local community - something you can tell they care deeply about. Where else would I want to spend my money? You literally see firsthand exactly where your money is going and what difference it makes. So if you are interested in visiting Tanzania- Sababu Safaris is the way to go!
Our anniversary was truly a trip we will never forget. We were so sad to leave! Asante sana, Sababu Safaris!!
