Botswana and Victoria Falls...magical!
We had a wonderful 5 day 4 night experience with Hennie Becker of Fleet Foot Safaris in Vic Falls and Botswana. We had just come off a group tour of South Africa that was great, but to have the personal and individualized attention and guidance of Hennie for our last 5 days, was a whole new dimension to our trip.
Our accommodations were perfect and beautiful, staying at the Avani Falls in LIvingstone, Zambia and the Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana. The food, service and accommodations were excellent and they offered the right ambience and and peaceful retreat after a long day of sightseeing and game drives.
Animals roamed the grounds of these resorts and one night in particular,
as we walked into the lobby of the Avani, there were 3 zebras that literally were milling about on the very outskirts of the lobby area. It was beautiful and almost surreal.
Hennie wanted us to see the Falls from the Zimbabwean side as well as Zambia, and it was well worth the additional $30 pp visa fee and walk over the bridge. The Falls were spectacular and we were fortunate to see them at a high water mark. The cruise on African Queen was a wonderful and a perfect activity for our first day in this area. Our subsequent game drives, and game cruise on the Chobe, provided plenty of animal viewing and Hennie provided interesting historical and background information on the places and things we saw. He has a passion for Africa and the bush country.
He was always willing to accommodate any interests or needs that we had and to offer his suggestions on what he thought we should (or shouldn't) spend our time and money on, etc. Eric, our driver, was also very nice and knowledgeable, efficient and helpful.
Our personal choice was more of a resort/ lodge experience, but Fleet Foot offers a variety of adventures in tented camping and even self drive tours throughout Africa for the more adventurous. And when speaking of adventures, if you can muster up a little courage to do the microflight over the Falls, it is a not to miss experience. Hennie recommended it and despite my trepidation, it was a trip highlight.
This trip was a bucket list item and lived up to and surpassed our expectations thanks to Fleet Foot and the magic of Africa. One side note, if you are willing to spend the extra $$$ for a 5 star experience, the Royal LIvingstone is elegant and lovely and at the very least, go over there for a drink and watch the sunset. It is adjacent to the 4 star Avani Falls and was a wonderful way to cap off our last night in Africa.
If Africa is in your future and I guess it would be if you're reading this review, I don't think you can go wrong with Fleet Foot. We certainly didn't and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hennie and his staff to anyone.

Beautiful experience!
Together with two friends I went on a safari with Bella Safaris in May 2017. We did spend 3 days in Murchison Falls with our tourguide Ronnie. We had a really special and beautiful experience! We've seen a lot of animals (rhino sanctuary, game drive, chimpansee trekking), the accomodation and the transport were very fine, the hike to the top of the falls was nice and everything was very well organized by Bella and Ronnie. While planning the trip, before we left, we had a lot of contact with Bella to make our travel plan, because she really wanted to make us satisfied about it. She took our budget into account. During our trip our guide Ronnie also tried his best to make us feel happy. He was a nice, funny and relaxed person to have with us and we had a lot of fun. The safari was even better than I expected, so we really recommend Bella Safaris to other people! She is a nice person who wants the best for her visitors in Uganda.

Wonderfull Safari!!!
What a lovely experience, from the first communications with Belen, she made the entire process of booking my safari very smooth. I had one of the best experiences, and would recommend anyone looking for a safari to go through Travel Partners.

they offer completely enjoyable, comfortable and informative travel excursions.
They don't delay their clients for whatever reason, as this will have a negative bearing on their image and reputation, including future business. Hence they continually communicating with the client, including hotels and lodges so as to ensure that we are constantly available to the client meeting their expectations.
In putting the company together they have attempted to offer enough services to allow us{clients} to always be in demand by them {bechy tours}. The most important factor in developing future services/products is market need.

Great experience for travelers on a budget
Safaris can be quite expensive, but if you're traveling on a budget and still want some quality wildlife experiences Mamaland Safaris will deliver.
Our guide Dona made sure our three days in Queen Elisabeth Park were action-packed with still enough time to rest in between. His skill in game spotting made sure we were able to see almost every animal on our list without looking too long. We only missed the elusive leopard.
The Pumba Lodges where we stayed were basic, but clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and were able to cook up some delicious food.
Absolutely recommended!

An excellent Safari!
From the 1st of february 2017 we went on a 12 days safari organised by Swala Safaris.
They offered us a very attrative personalized Safari with a very good price/performance ratio.
Rose from Swala responded always very quickly. She was such a big help and nothing was too much trouble for her to make sure we had a unique and memorable safari.
Everything was perfect!
Our driverguide was Steven and we travelled with a Toyota Landcruiser.
With Steven we had the most wonderful safari, we truly enjoyed each and every moment. His knowledge about all the parks in Tanzania, the animals, the nature, culture and history are amazing. He has 28 years of experience and is also a brilliant driver. His English is excellent and he is a real gentleman by all means, extremely friendly, helpful and polite.
It was an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience.
Thank you very much Steven and Rose!

Exceeded our expectations with excellent customer service and accommodation choice.
Excellent communications before our holiday from Melanie proved very valuable giving us valuable hints for planning during our stay. Our itinerary/written guide was detailed and similarly helpful. The tour guides were great. The accommodation chosen for us did not disappoint, was first rate and added to the enjoyment of our holiday.
