An awesome itinerary with flawless execution.
Sun Safaris exceeded our expectations. We are from the United States, and found planning a trip to South Africa to be a little challenging. Brett at Sun Safaris made booking our vacation very easy. His suggestions for an itinerary were excellent, the accommodations he picked for us were wonderful, and our guides were knowledgeable and kind. I plan to use Sun Safaris again! Their service and responsiveness is top-notch.

Knowledgeable and highly professional. Very organized.
Three of us senior ladies took the 8-day Victoria Falls, Chobe NP, and Okavango Delta trip, starting in Vic Falls and ending in Maun in June 2024. DK Tours (owned by Webster and headquartered in Vic Falls) is very organized and highly professional. Pickups, dropoffs and daily schedules are timely and reliable. He has been guiding in southern Africa for decades. He produces a very useful informational brochure tailored to the needs/schedule of each client. Botswana is a huge country and much of the tour is on the road and Webster (who was also our guide) is an excellent driver in a fairly new SUV. The lodgings are fine and good value for the price. On our trip the Travel Lodge was substituted for the riverside Chobe Safari Lodge as the latter was undergoing repairs but it was fine. The tents on stilts at Elephant Sands are unique and unforgettable – the elephants charge into the wallow and you can hear their conversations all night. Most meals were buffet-style so food was varied and abundant. Note that if you visit in the African winter it gets down to freezing temps for early-morning activities so dress in layers.
Game drives (and the mokoro trip in the Okavango) are outsourced to local guides in the parks who are keen to show off the local animals, but this is done carefully and without harassing the wildlife. Good guides can sense the mood of wildlife and avoid confronting, for example, elephants or lions having a bad day. Minor changes can be made to the set DK tour – for example, we asked to visit the San people and the salt pan outside Gweta and this request was accommodated for a reasonable added cost. Included in the trip are several river trips on the Zambezi and Chobe rivers that are relaxing and also showcase river game like hippos, buffalo, and crocs and various birds.
To sum up, DK Tours takes excellent care of its clients and provided our group with a most memorable and exciting trip. Outside the tour itinerary in Victoria Falls we took a “walking with lions” tour and a similar one at Wild Horizon Elephant Sanctuary, both of which Webster set up for us. These were wonderful and we would highly recommend you look into them too – how often in life do you get to pet a lion or feed an elephant?

Prompt, Quick response and communication
Susan was very prompt in responding to all our queries and the response was very quick. She was always available for any kind of support. Though we couldn’t make our tour plan still she was very cooperative by providing alternative plans. Thanks Susan for your support hope next time we shall make our plan workable.

Great tour with Francis
Great stay at Kino safari camp in Amboseli.
We had 3 days amboseli tour and we had more than we expected.
Our guide Francis was a really nice guy with great energy and he was really friendly.
The lodge we stayed was very luxurious with helpful and amazing staffs. The food there and the service there was great as well.
During the game drive, our guide answered to all questions we had and did their best so we can have the best views of the wild animals and the great Kilimanjaro.
We payed 700usd each. May Not be the cheapest but I'd say it was worth coming to Kenya.

Paul and Joe from Ways of Africa were serviceminded, reliable and good planners of an excellent tour
My husband and I had a wonderful roundtrip in the national parks of Nakuru, Naivasha and Aberdere with Joe from Ways of Africa. Joe is an experienced driver - both in tracking down game inside the parks, avoiding the biggest holes in the roads between the parks and in keeping us informed of the elements and time plan for the tour itself. Furthermore, Joe is an excellent conversation partner who helped us understand Kenyan culture and history.
The round trip was exactly what we were looking for due to our tight schedule in Kenya. Being close to land animals in Nakuru (and we especially loved the tented camp there), experiencing wildlife from a water perspective in Naivasha (all though the resort vibe of the hotel there turned us a bit off) and last, the amazing water hole theater at the Ark in Aberdere.
Everywhere, we were met by friendly, dedicated, knowledgable and inspirering guides and a breathtaking scenary!

We would like to thank African Pangolin Safaris, met in the special guide Mansoor. We rode with Mansoor for a week. He is enthusiastic during the entire trip. Mansoor knows a lot about the country, the animals and nature and tells this with a lot of passion. We have learned a lot from him. Mansoor is a friendly man and listens to personal wishes regarding food, for example. It offers comfort and safe driving. In addition, Mansoor has a great interest in his passengers. You can tell that he enjoys the work and being in contact with people.
The program is low-key and according to our perfect planning. The program is versatile so you see and learn a lot about the country, culture and nature. The safaris were great! We definitely recommend the trip.

Plex Africa Safaris go above and beyond to make your trip amazing!
I can’t recommend Plex Africa Safaris enough. Edward was on hand almost 24/7 to answer any questions I had before we went . He’d always reply if not immediately then within a few hours. I was so dubious about sending a deposit as had heard some horror stories but Edward sent me all the confirmation that they are fully registered with the Tanzanian tourist board etc. Once I’d paid the deposit he sent me confirmation of our flight tickets which was reassuring. We were picked up at 4.00am from the RIU Jambo by Moris who was lovely. We had 3 days on safari and our guide Anton was the best, he’s amazing and knows so much about the animals. He also told us about his life in Tanzania which was very interesting. On day 1 we did a full day safari, on day 2 we did a half day game drive, then a visit to the hot springs and also a night game drive. On our 3rd day we did a boat safari and a tour of the Masai village which was really interesting. We took gifts for the children (no sweets as they don’t have dentists) but were so grateful for pens, colouring books etc. Anton showed us around and as he’s from the village everyone knew him, the whole village are so friendly and are happy to answer questions. Each safari was different and we saw so many animals, we were so lucky to be sitting literally feet away from a large pride of lions. Every trip was amazing and my daughter and I were lucky enough to be the only ones in the truck and on the boat so had private tours. Most of the trucks we saw had 6 people in. We were also lucky as Anton didn’t follow the trucks, we went off on our own as he knew where to go so a lot of the time we got to see the animals without a load of trucks next to us which was amazing. We stayed at the Selous Safari Lodge which was lovely. Book with Plex Africa Safaris, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
