Would highly recommend Southbound Tours
We are so pleased we chose Southbound Tours to organise our Namibian holiday. Both Marco and Marné put together a wonderful fly in Safari for us.
Any adjustments to our itinerary were well communicated and organised seamlessly. They were both professional, polite and friendly, always happy to answer any questions.
We enjoyed it so much we’re already thinking about our next tour with them.

John was amazing and punctual! He was great at spotting the animals and communicating our plans
The communication with Super Eagles was great from the first time we messaged to after they dropped us off at our hotel after the safari! They always made sure we were happy and enjoying our time and did everything they could to enhance our experience!
John (Little Lion) was our tour guide for the first 5 days and was incredible, he seemed to know all the other tour guides which meant we were always one of the first to know about a spotting of an animal which meant we got to see the big 5 all in our first day and we were so close!
I’d say this trip was amazing value for money, you could pay double the price and you’d still get the exact same safari experience!
Our personal favourite part was the trip to Lake Naivasha and getting to be amongst the animals on a walking safari, it felt so tranquil and was an amazing experience! So I’d definitely recommended doing the 6 nights 7 days to make sure you get to do this part!
Would highly recommend Super Eagles and would come back again!

Great rates & friendly service
You will be in safe hands with Madukha Tours. From the moment we contacted them, they were responsive to requests via email & offered us the same safari as other groups for a significantly cheaper price. Upgrading to private & a land cruiser was a no brainer & made our experience extra special. As people who are used to life in the UK, we did find the lack of "official" confirmation of e.g. payment a little strange, but once we arrived in Kenya we understood that this is the way things work there!
Our driver was incredibly friendly (Paul) and knew how to find all the animals, including catering to our perhaps unusually high interest in birds and antelopes. We saw leopards, cheetahs, lions, serval, giraffe, elephants, rhino, buffalo, hippo, 15 species of antelope (including the delightful dik-dik) and 100+ species of bird. Paul was there for us the whole time & we always felt safe with him. We did have a copy of "The Safari Companion", which together with my partner having a PhD in biology provided me/us with a particularly detailed account of the animals we were seeing & why they were behaving in certain ways. I suspect if you want that experience, you may want to request a specially trained guide who has a bronze or above certification from KSPGA.
The lodges booked for us by Madukha were all great & above our expectations.
We were very pleased we went with Madukha and not others!

Our first safari was unforgettable thanks to safari Soles
Our 8-day safari with Safari Soles was an incredible adventure, and much of that is thanks to our fantastic guide, Godlisten. From sunrise to sunset, he worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible. His keen eye for spotting animals was impressive—he seemed to notice wildlife before anyone else, and thanks to him, we saw the entire Big 5 and many more animals!
The vehicle added to the adventurous feel of the journey, making every moment of the safari exciting. We also appreciated Safari Soles' eco-friendly practices, such as using reusable packaging for our meals. It's great to see a company committed to sustainability.
Another highlight was the flexibility in adjusting our accommodations. We had a few specific requests, and Safari Soles was happy to make changes for us, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
While the experience was mostly flawless, there are a couple of small areas for improvement. We sometimes had to remind the staff that we are vegetarians. Additionally, the two days we spent primarily on travel routes could have been communicated better in advance to manage expectations.
Overall, we had an unforgettable safari with Safari Soles, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for a unique and well-rounded experience!

They are professional and excellence
Rocktrek Safaris offered and rended a service I will remember for a lifetime. Their professionalism, dedication and care was exceptional. They care about my wellbeing by always keeping in touch with me from my country of origin to my destination. My handler made sure I get every information concerning my trip from time to time.
What I enjoyed and loved most was the time dedication, they were always on time and on point.
They were affordable but package well with every good thing one needs on a trip

Enthusiastic and really helpful!
I first met Barack when he picked me up from the bus station in Kigali. From the very beginning, he showed genuine care and asked if I had any plans or needed assistance in Rwanda. When I shared my travel itinerary, Barack immediately proved invaluable, arranging our permits and helping my friend and me find budget-friendly accommodations near Volcanoes National Park. He even secured a driver for the rest of our trip.
When we returned to Kigali, Barack went above and beyond once again, helping me obtain a permit to see gorillas in Uganda. He connected me with his local contacts, ensuring everything was well-organized. Throughout the trip, Barack consistently offered helpful advice, valuable information, and ensured we got the best deals wherever we went.
I wholeheartedly recommend Barack to anyone in need of a trustworthy and resourceful guide. His dedication made our journey truly seamless!

Enthusiastic Guide with lots of experience in spotting animals.
After our first Game Drive with John we decided to make 2 more with him. He is reluable, enthusiastic, has a lot of experience and has an incredible eye for spotting animals.
As a photographer I appreciate that he is not rushing you and you can take your time for a picture. If I would come again I would go with him all over.
