Six day tour from Kasane to Maun: Excellent safari, fantastic guide, comfortable tents
My partner and I decided to book this safari after seeing so many positive reviews, and also knowing that it is a local company with experienced guides. It was an incredible six day trip! From the start, Tony was always available to answer questions via email and then more easily WhatsApp (and I had a lot of questions!!). Make sure to ask exactly what you are booking - for example, we had the luxury experience, with large tents and ensuite bathrooms (meaning you could easily go at night). We slept on cots with warm sleeping bags and real pillows, plus they also had a small table in our two person tent. Everything was clean and comfortable - I truly slept well every night. As for the safari, we went from Kasane to Maun, with two nights in Chobe, two nights in Savuti (my favorite) and one night in Moremi. On the days where you didn't move locations, you did a long morning drive starting at 6:30 or 7, lasting until nearly lunchtime. Then you took a long mid-day break, so make sure to pack some games or books, or this is a good time to take advantage of the showers they provide (just ask them to prep the water). Finally, you go out for another drive at around 4pm, but this only goes until sunset since you can't be out after dark. On the days you are changing locations, you are in the car all day - a game drive in the morning, then driving 4-6 hours to get to the next park (stopping for picnic lunch), then when you arrive you immediately start a game drive. The road is almost never paved and VERY bumpy, so you're in for a wild ride, and we were never bored! We traveled in May so make sure to pack warm clothes for sleeping, and the mornings can feel very cold when you're driving in open air, so pack hats and gloves. During the day, it was in the 80s, but you are shaded in the car so it never felt really hot. Tony himself is super funny and kept us laughing, but most importantly he is really good at tracking the animals. He was the one to find certain animals first in several cases, including when we found a pride of lions attacking cape buffalo. And since he's a photographer, he really dedicated time to see and learn about the animals and their behavior. He is very passionate about his work and it shows. His team (Eddie and Ben) were so friendly and I'm very impressed by the delicious food they cooked, including meat stews, pastas and vegetables. If I had one piece of advice, I would say that the tour is very chill, and sometimes the plans will change, or timing won't be exact. But everything was great in the end, so we have no complaints, and in fact would recommend this tour over other (more expensive) versions!

6 Day Kilimanjaro + 4 Day Safari
Owner Jalala was so easy to communicate with and was very responsive. He met us at the hotel along with our guide before the hike to make sure we were prepared and answered any questions. The guides on both our hike and safari were excellent and provided great service. Shout out to Joseph and Stephen! We were well taken care of for the 10 days. We did mid-range so the accommodations were pretty basic but that was expected. Only suggestion would be to add a toilet porter - the bathrooms at the camps were pretty gross and I did notice the other groups had one. Overall we had a great trip and thank you AAA Express for your great service!

Very responsive--Kiliholidays took care of all the logistics & planning; highly recommended.
Our group of 3 HIGHLY recommends Edward as guide! He was fun, knowledgable & very responsive to our interests. (He even squeezed in an extra 1/2 trip to a coffee farm, just because we asked.) If you're lucky enough to get him, tell him we said "Jambo!"
Really like how Kiliholidays organized this 5 day tour, taking care of all logistics, including pick up from airport. Each night we stayed at a different location, & it was all very easy/well-planned. Even camp sites were more like "glamping", so no hardship on city folks or those in less-than-athletic shape. We saw a TON of animals each day! Seriously--leopards 4 days IN A ROW!

Hakuna matata
Me and my girlfriend summited Mount Kilimanjaro at 28. October 2018 through the following waypoints: Lava Tower, Arrow Glacier Camp, Western Breach Wall, Crater Camp, Uhuru Peak.
Jerome, Ino and his crew does an excellent Job in everything what you need on a trip like this. He and his crew is very experienced in what they do. Furthermore, we have a lot of fun with him and his crew during the whole trip.
Excellent tent accommodation, excellent food, excellent mood. Perfect organization like the conversation before the trip in your home country or the transfers from and to the airport. Keep it up Jerome.
I know Jerome over years and he is become a good friend to me. I was visiting Mount Kilimanjaro / Uhuru Peak two times with him and would do it a third time.
Do not hesitate, climb Mount Kilimanjaro with Jerome, now.

Best Safari experience: Hakuna Matata!
We went for 2 days in Mikumi for a safari.
Matata was our guide. As he is a « land man » he can give you very nice information about Tanzania and its surroundings.
We left Dar es Salaam in the morning and were in the park around 4pm to enjoy 2h30 of safari !
We saw lioness and her babies, cuddling !!
We would like to warmly thank Matata and Daily expeditions for this unforgettable moment.
Going on a safari with this agency his hassle free because everything is under control : park entrance, lodge, food, car...
You really should go there with them !

Wild Wings Safaris - absolute perfection !
Wild Wings Safaris completely hit the spot with my intentions to visit South Africa.
As a solo traveler on a voyage of self discovery, decided on a last minute trip to connect with nature at Kruger safari, as well as soak up the city sights in Cape Town.
My rep (Michael Malan) put together the perfect itinerary, based on my specifications & took care of everything from end to end - all I had to do was rock up & enjoy the experience, which I certainly did.
A formidable & trustworthy company, who also presented great value for money.
I will not hesitate to re-book.... hopefully soon :)
