Great
I had the best experience of my life, we went on safari for 4 days. We visited Tarangire Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The quality of the hotels booked by our agency (Serengeti Wakanda) was excellent. We were guided by Benji, a super professional, kind and patient person; He made us see varieties of animals. Along the way he had always told us about each one of them, the Masai, and the parks in general.
Thank you Benji for this beautiful experience that I will always remember.

The experience of a lifetime!
We recently completed our African Safari arranged with the help of Susan Veldman with Discover Africa. About one year ago, I began researching African safari trips. I began with Abercrombie and Kent as they are world renowned for their expertise with African safaris. I contacted them on their website and for some reason they did not return my two inquiries for almost two weeks. Meanwhile, I contacted five other companies, some in the states and some in Africa and had multiple conversations with many knowledgeable tour experts and tried to educate myself on where to go, what to see, when to go, etc. After speaking with Susan and feeling comfortable with her, we began to game plan. I used the Abercrombie tour as a basis for the trip. The end result was building on this with Susan. In fact, adding four days at another camp for less money. I was very concerned with hand-holding as the logistics of the trip was very complex. I also wanted all gratuities taken care ahead of time as that can be uncomfortable. Who to tip, how much? We booked our own flights with Qatar business class and the Q Suites. The airline lives up to its reputation. We flew with a stopover in Doha, Qatar and experienced the number one air lounge in the world (Al Mourjan) which again more than lived up to its reputation. We flew into Johannesburg and from there we were under the care of Susan. From there on, everything went on without a hitch. Meet and greets, automobile transfers, baggage handling, inter country flights, including bush flights and helicopter tours were smooth as could be. All gratuities were taken care of and I did not have to worry about that. The camps, food, activities and service at all the camps was spectacular. In Johannesburg, we stayed at the Saxon Hotel…..as did Nelson Mandela, Oprah and the Clintons. From there we flew to Sabi Sands Bush Lodge on the recommendation of Susan. Next was Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero, Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp and Chief’s Camp which I borrowed from Abercrombie. Each camp had its own flavor in terms of location, geography, design and game drives. Each camp was luxurious in its own way. The wildlife, the food, the accommodations, the guides and trackers, the game drives…..all superb! We arrived home last night tired but thrilled with the experience. I cannot recommend Susan and Discover Africa highly enough. Susan delivered everything we asked for without ANY glitches and maintained daily contact with us throughout the trip. The only way this trip could have been better was if it were free :-). And having said that, I was happy to pay for it. Worth every penny…or Rand!

Fantastic experience with Joseph
We went on a four day safari to Masai Mara and lake Nakuru with Joseph from Baboon Budget Safaris. We had a fantastic experience!! Joseph was super knowledgeable and funny, and he went out of his way to ensure we were having fun.

Great! Better than expected!
Dennis, our tour guide, was great! He helped us along the way a lot. I booked the trip before I left for my trip and was a bit nervous about choosing the right company. Once i was picked up in Nairobi, everything went smoothly. I chose the budget accommodations and it worked out great. The tent camping was definitely more “glamp”-ing with private bathroom and electricity.

The best partner for a trip to Namibia, reliability and professionalism assured!
No words will ever be enough to thank Blue Crane Safaris Namibia for organizing the best private tour of my life!
Everything was more than perfectly organized! As a travel agent, I am very happy to have found Blue Crane to be the ideal partner for future trips of my clients as well, as their personalized and tailor made service can meet the needs of any traveler
From the first moment I contacted them, I felt that I was dealing with a truly knowledgeable and competent staff; in particular Jamie, in the early stages of trip design, was very attentive, thoughtful, and quick to understand our needs.
I am convinced in saying that this tour to Namibia was by far the one that gave me the strongest emotions.
Besides the wonders of a spectacular country, I am sure that the presence of the fantastic guide Sebe was decisive.
He is a very knowledgeable, attentive and caring guide, as well as a guy with a heart, helpful and full of humanity. We are truly grateful for having him accompany us. I arrived in Namibia as a tourist and left as a friend.
His friendliness really overwhelmed us!
On a practical level, the tour was perfectly organized; the vehicle was comfortable and our guide took great care to make sure we always found it clean and tidy. The accommodations that were recommended to us were spectacular, very comfortable and in dream locations.
The experience with this tour operator was vastly above expectations I can do nothing but 100% recommend it for your next trip to Namibia.

Khutso was a very charming and informative guide who always made us feel welcome and safe.
This tour was truly amazing. Our guide, khutso modishane was incredible and showed us the true spirit of this amazing country though both the people and amazing places. As he said many times, we saw the good, the bad, and the ugly and it was all so amazing to experience and apprichate. Through all the places we went he was always very cognizant of our safety and made sure we always were having a good time as well. He was one of the best guides I’ve ever had and I would highly recommend him to others. If I am able to visit this amazing country once again, he would definitely be my top choice as a guide once again.
