Everything worked wonderfully and fully met our expectations. Thank you very much
It was a very nice tour and the accommodation was excellent. The communication with Emanuel worked well and everything was to our complete satisfaction. The guide was excellent and the food we had for lunch was excellent every time. I recommend paying for the safari in dollars with cash as there are fees otherwise.

This trip to Africa was very meaningful and made me and my partners love this place!
Thank you, Sereland Africa Safaris, for an unforgettable trip! Your team was incredibly professional, and every aspect of our journey was perfectly arranged. The car was well-equipped, the accommodations were top-notch, and all the arrangements exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Sereland Africa Safaris a million times over!

Great operator, the best guide!
We had an amazing time with jungle roam safaris. We did the 5 day 4 night tour which included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hells gate. Our experience was fantastic thanks to our brilliant guide Jack. From the first time we met him to the very end he was 10/10. His knowledge of the area is second to none, knows where to go to spot all the animals and is a great driver. We are going to return to Kenya next year and will definitely be going to go with Jungleroam safaris and will hope to have Jack again!

Excellent personalised service resulting in an wonderful trip to Zambia.
I was searching for an add on to a pre planned bush camping trip in Botswana and sent out numerous requests through Safari Bookings with a wide open request to travel onto a neighbouring country with just my finish date in Botswana , the date of my flight out to France from SA and a limited budget. Travelling as a solo female this kind of request proves difficult to fulfil and Sonja from Ntanda was the only person to respond positively. She suggested Zambia and worked along with my personal preferences and interests to plan a wonderful itinerary for me. I found her friendly and obviously dedicated to providing the best service possible not forgetting that she had to deal with the daily power outage disrupting her working schedule! From Victoria Falls where my Botswana trip ended I was picked up by a driver and taken over the border into Livingstone where I spent 4 night at Victoria Falls Waterfront in fixed tent accommodation. This was a great value for money stay with plenty of trip and adventure options. My days were pre booked by Sonja and I thoroughly enjoyed all the experiences. In the evening I sat eating dinner and watching the magnificent sunsets over the great Zambezi River. It is a very pleasant vibrant setting enjoyed both by locals and tourists. From Livingstone I flew to Mfuwe and onto another 4 night stay at Thornicroft Lodge at the edge of South Luangwa Park. Another riverside lodge with hippos, elephants and crocodiles to watch. Again Sonja had planned my days and everything went smoothly and exceeded all expectations. The game drives morning and night with just me and the driver/guide were always an adventure and I thoroughly enjoyed the visits to 3 local community projects. Painting my own cushion cover @ Tribal Arts was a highlight and a wonderful souvenir of the trip. Highly recommend visiting Zambia and asking for Sonja @ Ntanda Adventures to plan it. She did an AMAZING job. Thank you.

Unforgettable Safari with an unforgettable guide!
We had the most incredible experience with Jungle Roam Safaris and in particular with our guide Jack! Jack is a special guide and we feel so lucky to have spent our safari with him. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna in the area and was such a professional from beginning to end, going out of his way to make the experience special for us. He knew exactly where to go so that we could catch a glimpse of lions, rhinos and even cheetahs! We couldn’t recommend Jack strongly enough, he even made a very special trip to crescent island possible at the last minute. We felt like family by the end of the trip. We hope to return to Kenya next year with our family and will definitely choose Jungle Roam and be sure to request Jack!

Amazing Hospitality
A few weeks ago, I took a break and went on vacation to Zanzibar. My tour with Kensai Tours and Travel, coordinated by Eve, was a dream come true! Highly recommend.

Great Experience, Great Tour Operator
A lot of the budget operators are working with the same company and are putting together trips as a conglomeration of services by connecting already existing trip itineraries with drivers to drive people between the different places that the tours stop and start. Most tour itineraries are basically the same, just with different lodging at night. Because of this, a lot of the value proposition that these tours operators add is how well they are able to figure out the logistics for you and their ability to serve any requests you might.
We were working with Anthony from Josana Tours and he was excellent. He was always available via WhatsApp and was able to help with any specific needs we had. We had some questions throughout the trip and had to get more money out, and he seemed to know someone in every town who he messaged and was able to get the answers or the booking for us. He was very accommodating of our situation, and was able to deal easily with our flight coming in late (we got rushed out to the tour), as well as the additional time we wanted to spend in Nairobi. It was truly a personal experience with Anthony, which is not something you are usually able to say about budget tours.
In addition, the standard tour planning was excellent. All drivers and cabs were prepaid, Anthony would update us the day before who was picking us up and at what time, and everything went smoothly. Logistically, it was very impressive to me how all this worked and how it worked so well.
The safari itinerary was fairly standard but also impressive. We really liked the Kenya side, especially Amboseli, and would consider coming back during the summer months (although it was cool during May too - still lots of animals and impressively green). We got to see the big five and all our other fives as well. Personally, we didn't think the Serengeti was worth visiting as the grasslands were kind of boring after all the cooler parks in Kenya. The Ngorongoro crater was cool though and worth visiting and we really enjoyed camping.
Since this was a budget tour we were in glamping accommodations in Kenya plus a hotel or two and then actual camping accommodations in Tanzania. We didn't realize we were actually camping in Tanzania so we didn't bring everything we needed (soap), but as young travellers we enjoyed all of it. The glamping accommodations were actually really nice compared to what we're used to and were cooler during the night than a hotel room which was a solid plus. However, camping isn't everyone's cup of tea and if that's you case you can just ask Anthony for different accommodations for those nights and I'm sure he'd be happy to accommodate.
Overall, it was a great experience and booking with Josana Tours made it that.
