Ali is a great communicator and has a charming personality.
We did a half day tour from Johannesburg to Pretoria with Ali. The stops were interesting, but Ali made the trip special for us. He was very informative about history, politics and culture. It was like traveling with an old friend, and he gave us personal and detailed answers to all our questions. We highly recommend Ali for anyone visiting the Joburg and Pretoria areas.

Thoughtful, knowledgeable, a pleasure to be with!
Exploring the wonders of the wild with Elida Tours and Safaris was an absolute thrill! From the moment we arrived, their expert team ensured every aspect of our journey was seamless. Our guides were not only knowledgeable about the diverse flora and fauna but also passionate storytellers, enriching our experience with fascinating anecdotes. The accommodations at Sweetwater were luxurious yet nestled perfectly within the untamed landscapes, offering unparalleled views of nature’s grandeur. Whether tracking majestic elephants or witnessing the graceful dance of giraffes at sunset, every moment felt like a scene from a wildlife documentary brought to life. Thanks to David and his team, our safari exceeded all expectations, leaving us with unforgettable memories and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.

Incredible and recomendable tour firm.
I had an amazing experience with BlueRange Connect Safaris in December. The tour guides were knowledgeable and passionate, the itinerary was well-planned, and the accommodations and meals were great. The personalized attention and care stood out, making it feel like traveling with friends. Highly recommend for a memorable travel experience.

I would recommend you avoid this company, who we believed scammed us
This company ls a complete band of thieves from the owner Richard to the drivers/guides.
They only ask for more money when a fix price was set during the booking process.
They dont book the gorilla trekking and then when you are with then they ask for more money saying that something wrong occurred with the manager. If you don’t pay again you are not getting the experience with gorillas. Aldo with the hotels, they take you to cheaper lodges ( you pay for more luxury but you get low rate ones).
The driver/guide DONA is probably part of the scam, even though he always out the fault on the owner Kisembo.
Do trust them please

Amazing tour was much more than I expected!
My driver Azariah was simply amazing. Very helpful, informative, and caring. The organizer Peter was very courteous and answered all questions promptly and was an immense help when I had issues with my visa. I was so grateful couldn't thank him enough. I would highly recommend buyaga tours to anyone interested in a tour in Uganda.

Perfect from beginning to end
This was an excellent tour. Leonard was a great guide and he was knowledgable, helpful, punctual and funny. He was also easygoing and accomodating. Some of the trip is long car rides, but they are fine as he was a great driver. I would book this tour again in a heartbeat!

best safari experience ever!
We found this company on safaribookings and just picked them out of the others blindly. What an excellent choice! We've been assigned with guide Tom, who was the best guide we could imagine. He knew everything about everything we wondered and asked. He was an excellent driver as well, great to talk to and he made the whole safari experience even better. We feel like we truly got us a new friend. As the safari goes, it was more than we could imagine. We saw almost all the animals we hoped for, saw some of them from a two meter distance and got awesome pictures. We recommend this company to anyone who thinks about safari experience (or hiking experience, as we did Ol Doinyo Lengai hike and 1 day Kilimanjaro hike with them as well and both were superb just as well as safari).

My journey through Tanzania with Arrow Trekking & Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary.
My journey through Tanzania with Arrow Trekking & Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary. Their impeccable service, unmatched value for money, and expert tour guides Lazaro made every moment unforgettable. From the comfortable jeeps to the delicious meals, every detail was carefully curated for an exceptional experience. Exploring the wonders of Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater was a true highlight, with each location offering its own unique beauty and wildlife sightings. I wholeheartedly recommend Arrow Trekking & Safaris to anyone seeking the trip of a lifetime – you won't find a better way to experience the magic of Tanzania. All the best. Thanks lsaack

A Safari Dream Come True with SecretNamibia!
When my partner and I first started thinking about a safari in Namibia, we quickly realised we were a bit out of our depth trying to plan it all ourselves. After doing some research online we found SecretNamibia and honestly it's the best decision we made as they helped us create the greatest trip we've ever been on.
From our very first conversation we felt comfortable and at ease. We had a long video call with Johan and he listened carefully to everything we wanted from our safari. Should we focus more on wildlife viewing or landscapes? Did we want to explore the iconic destinations or some off-the-beaten-path gems? How much travelling were we comfortable with? He asked all the right questions and really understood our vision.
In the end we agreed on a two week luxury fly in safari and it was amazing from start to finish. From the moment we landed in Namibia, everything was impeccably planned out. Our flights and transfers went off without a single delay or hitch. The communications from SecretNamibia were also fantastic - we could reach them any time, day or night, which was really reassuring.
Touching on the lodges, they exceeded our wildest expectations. From the second we arrived at each one, we were treated like royalty. The service, the food, the settings- it was all of the highest possible standard. We felt like every one of our desires was beautifully catered for by the wonderful staff in an environment of total bliss and luxury. A special mention in particular to Omaanda and Shipwreck Lodge which were both out of this world.
The activities SecretNamibia organised were the cherry on top. We'll never forget our hot air balloon ride over the desert. And seeing Etosha, the Sossusvlei dunes and Epupa Falls took our breath away - we took some stunning photos so make sure you bring a quality camera.
We honestly can't thank the SecretNamibia team enough for giving us the trip of a lifetime. We looked at other tour operators, but are so glad we went with these guys. Their personalised service, insight and passion for Namibia blew us away and we felt the trip was worth every penny. Having a local company made everything feel really authentic too.
If you're looking for a luxury Namibian safari, I can't recommend SecretNamibia highly enough. These guys know how to craft unforgettable experiences filled with special memories you'll cherish forever.
