Amazing experience
Our experience during the safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro was absolutely amazing. We have been really impressed not only by the wildlife but also by the landscape and the experience with the people.
Our guide has been really professional and friendly, we sincerely hope he gets the right salary for the hard work he does: driving for ours, making sure we enjoy the safari and see all the animals, taking care about our accommodation and carrying all the necessary stuff.
Only negative side were the toilets at the camping site in Serengeti, they for sure require more care and cleaning, also considering the cost of the safari, they should be improved.

Botswana Wildside, superb safari.
This was our 5th Sunway Safari, and we are in our mid and late 70's. Although we had done this safari before (2009), it was so good that we wanted to take our daughter on it. It not only lived up to expectations, but exceeded them. Our guides Wayne and Zambo were amazing, full of knowledge, which they readily passed on to us. Wayne was a wonderful cook ( we are vegetarians ), which helped make our holiday great. The banter between Wayne, Zambo and all of us turned a great safari into a superb one. Not only did we see some amazing animals, but we came away knowing far more about them thanks to Zambo and his in depth knowledge. Although very hot up to 43deg, we would highly recommend this trip.

An epic climb with a great company
I'm so glad I went with Barafu for my climb. Having completed a few different similar trips around the world, I can easily say Barafu is among the best. Being a smaller company, you get a very personalised service and it really makes a huge difference.
Our guides, Sauly & Jonas were awesome. They were always in touch with where we were and made sure we always knew what was happening and were safe/comfortable. Our vitals were checked nightly during a briefing about the next day.
The food was amazing, with a good variety and great quality. The porters and whole team during the climb were great. They were friendly and engaging with us and getting into camp each day to find warm washing water, a setup tent and fresh popcorn was a welcome treat.
While on our climb, it became very obvious that there is a big difference between companies and the level of service - it made me really glad we went with Barafu. I honestly can't say enough good things about the whole trip with the Barafu team, especially our guides, they were amazing.

Excellent hiking trip to the top of Kilimanjaro
We were guided on a hiking trip to the top of Kilimanjaro. Everything was very well organized, fun, and professional. It was one of the best trips of my life.

Efficient service
Best safari holiday (wet and wild). Weather was not good but the game ranger made it worth while. It was worth every cent. The food was also great. The reception and the rooms exceptional.

Excellent service
A week for a business trip was scheduled for me in Johannesburg. I wanted to extend my stay for another week to spend some time with my son with a Safari. Tried with some websites, but the were quite obscure and confusing especially when you have never done a safari before. At some point I landed on the safari.com website with the possibility to converse with a representative. I talked to Annemarie Linda and she helped me to find a programme with the budget I gave and the availability of lodges. She really did a great job and everything she organised was perfect. She was available at all times to answer to any questions I had.
Thank you very much Annemarie and Safari.com

Kindness, avaibility and efficiency
We are very happy to write this review, both for the safari played and for the staff we were in contact. We have emailed our safari in the south of Tanzania and we have to thank Elen for his kindness and willingness. We are very pleased with our safari we visited the parks of the South Selous game reserve, Ruaha National Park, Mikumi National Park and Udzungwa National Park, experiencing unique emotions, seeing breathtaking landscapes, getting in touch with the culture and the famous hospitality of southern Tanzania . We also have to thank our Serafino guide who with his sympathy and availability has shown us many animals, even seeing two consecutive days a leopard near us. All the accommodations were near, if not inside, parks. We can only advise Chabo Africa and our "guide" Serafino for all those who want to visit Africa and get in touch with it. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Chabo Africa and Serafino in particular.

Best African Safaris & Tour
This was a fabulous 4 days of fun. The team we had was fantastic and made the trip. From A to Z..Nature, wild animals, camp and entertainment was excellent, great value for money. Seeing giraffes first thing in the morning and meeting sunset in a jeep next to a couple of lions ...memories that will last a lifetime.
We were picked up from in Nairobi outside our accommodation (and dropped there after trip), the vehicles were clean and comfortable, and headed to Masai Mara which is approx. 3 hours. The camp was clean and well maintain including the tents which were incredible for the budget price. The w.c. had warm water 24hrs a day and electricity was available from 6pm - 10pm. The food was buffet style and a pleasant variety to choose from. Each day there is a trip into the safari where you can expect to see all animals featuring on a David Attenborough BBC documentary! You also have the chance to meet a local tribe to experience the traditional way of life for the people in the Masai Mara.
Aardwolf Africa's Staff are we’ll trained, helpful and super friendly. We felt very secure and surrounded of care and we would highly recommend this team to organise your wild safari trip. 10/10!!!
Cheers ;)
