Wonderful experience
This experience has been amazing for me and my girlfriend. Lenard is a lovable person: friendly, kind, honest. He made us feel like at home. He took care of every detail: transfers (where he drove us to Mikumi park and back) accomodations, food, and the safari and Masai experiences.
The Safari was amazing: our guide (Ladis) is the best, super nice, kind and with a wide knowledge of all savannah animals. We loved to hear him explaining us about the animals that we saw.
The Masai experience was absolutely fascinating. We had the chance to see where the tribe lives, and how they cook, make fire, dance etc.
We have done also a trekking on the first day, where we had met the people living in the villages on the mountain: another nice day.
I definitely recommend this tour, great value for money, and wonderful people.
I love Tanzania’s people, they are the friendliest I have ever met!

Ramja Safaris is very responsive & professional and provided excellent service.
My wife and I went on an eight-day safari to Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Nairobi National with Ramja Safaris. During the planning stages Steve communicated with us on a regular basis providing any and all information we needed so that we would have the best and safe custom safari experience. We explored a number of options including taking internal flights and it was through his advice we didn’t which was the right thing to do as we experienced the country through the drives. The planning with Steve provided us comfort knowing exactly what we could expect.
Steve and his wife met us at Nairobi airport around midnight and ensured we were on a prearranged car to our hotel. Steve met us again at 7:30am the next morning and introduced us to our driver and guide Sammy. We had a nice 4x4 land cruiser.
Sammy was a walking encyclopedia on everything about safaris and animals. He was friendly, patient and humorous. He has telescopic eyes. He would spot animals at a far distance... Read more that we would find tough to spot even with the binoculars we had. Sammy was so keen and eager to show us anything and everything that we had to sometimes slow him down. He wanted to make sure we saw everything on the drives. We felt very safe with Sammy. He kept us entertained with his humour.
All through the 8 days on the safari, Steve kept in contact with us to make sure everything was good.
Because of the heavy rains a couple of months earlier some of the game roads were a bit rough but that didn’t matter as Sammy kept us amused about the ‘dancing with no music’ experience and the free ‘bum massages’ we were experiencing on these roads.
On the day we were leaving Steve and his wife came to the restaurant where we were having lunch before heading back to the airport to personally get feedback on how the trip was and to see us off. Wonderful people.
We were on a month-long trip through Africa, Asia and Europe and this was the best part of our whole trip.
We had a really great experience and it was through Steve’s and Sammy’s personal care and attention that it turned out to be an amazing adventure. They are excellent value for money,
We highly recommend Steve and Ramja safaris for a personalized and customized safari experience.

Fantastic operators. Easy to deal with, great communication and overall - a life-changing safari!!
Had the most amazing service by Allan and team to ensure that we were looked after. Overall, top-tier safari offering, fantastic food, quality tour guides just before high-season. We highly recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone looking to do one in Tanzania.

Unforgettable!
Overall experience exceeding my expectations. This was in large part due to Tuma, our driver. He's an experienced and capable driver with over 18 years of experience. From the onset Tuma professionalism & positive attitude contributed to an outstanding safari. More importantly he got the tires service before we started the journey. During our weekly safari there were several vehicles that broke down & some accidents occurred. We notice several vehicles driving very reckless; but not ours. I highly recommend screening the safari drivers to ensure you stay away from inexperienced and young drivers. There were no questions went unanswered. Our driver had a college background degree in Wildlife Management that served us well. We learn so much about the Serengeti and Tuma provided a historical perspective on all areas visited. Personally I like to thank the owners for making this a memorable trip. Keep up the good work and HIGHLY recommend anyone researching Long Way Expeditions, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

needs to significantly improve the organization of their safari trips and the overall quality of the
We recently participated in a safari tour with Zambezi Expedition Tour and Travel for 9 days from June 6th to 15th, and we want to express our disappointment with several aspects of the experience. As experienced safari travelers, we expected better.
Firstly, we booked and committed to this trip for a specific amount, but once there, Oscar asked for an additional 1000 euros. I had to send the signed quote for him to remember the agreed amount.
The accommodation plan for Chobe National Park, as published on Safari Booking, indicated lodges. However, upon arrival, it turned out to be a camping lodge, which did not match the pictures of the rooms shown in the plan.
We complained to Oscar about this, but he claimed it wasn't mentioned in the commitment plan. Eventually, he upgraded us to the room specified in the plan and the quotes. The game drive in Chobe National Park was organized by another safari company. They asked us to be at the hotel reception at 8:30 AM for an 8:45 AM... Read more pick-up, but the driver was 40 minutes late, resulting in a shortened game drive in the morning.
The accommodation at Victoria Falls was also supposed to be a lodge, but again, we were surprised to find it was a tent. It was too warm during the day and too cold at night, making it very uncomfortable.
All the tour plans and activities were organized by other travel companies, giving the impression that Zambezi Expedition is merely an intermediary that finds clients for other travel companies without caring about the quality of service offered to their clients.
On a positive note, the best activity of the trip was the Okavango Delta. It was well organized, and the guide and cook were very nice people.
We chose our trip with Zambezi Expedition Tour and Travel after reading all the good reviews on Safari Booking, but we were disappointed. We have been on many other safaris and enjoyed them, but this one did not meet our expectations.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with the Amazing Mr. Godson!
Absolutely fantastic experience! My wife and I had the pleasure of embarking on a journey with the delightful Mr. Godson of "Martial Adventure Safari," and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. His knowledge of Tanzania's most stunning parks and the wildlife within them was truly exceptional. Mr. Godson's keen eye and expertise allowed us to witness a breathtaking array of animals, often in places other guides couldn't reach. His passion for the environment and infectious enthusiasm made every moment of our safari unforgettable. We felt incredibly fortunate to have had such a warm, humorous, and dedicated guide to enhance our adventure. We highly recommend "Martial Adventure Safari" and Mr. Godson for anyone looking to experience the magic of Tanzania in the most extraordinary way.

Our tour was well organized and our guides personable and attentive.
We visited Bwindi National Park for a gorilla trek and had a wonderful time. On returning to Entebbe, we visited the Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctuary that was also fascinating. The tours were well organized. Our arrangements through Simba were fantastic as we had good information so that we were well prepared. The value was excellent.

Brilliant 17 day 4x4 journey across Namibia!
Claire and Lark Journeys are the best! My girlfriend and I went on a self drive, 17 day, road trip around Namibia organised by Lark Journeys. I had in mind several places and activities I wanted to do whilst in Namibia. I provided this, along with a general budget, to Claire who suggested an itinerary . The communication was very quick, clear and transparent. My girlfriend being South Korean meant she needed a visa unlike myself as a Brit but Claire helped us sort this out with ease.
Claire met us at the airport with lots of maps, useful info, travel guides and a mobile SIM which made our lives so much easier setting off in the car. We opted to do roughly 50:50 between lodges and camping so we hired a 4x4 with a roof top tent which was easy to pick up and never failed us on the way round.
Claire was always on the end of the phone whenever we needed any help or suggestions. She recommended lots of nice places to eat, cafes you'd miss if you didn't know they were there... Read more and most importantly, helped us when the occasional issue came up with bookings on the 3rd party end. We had one incident with some problematic police officers which Claire helped resolve through a phone call with one of the officers. This help in itself was worth booking with Lark Journeys!
Thanks to Claire and Lark Journeys we had the trip of a lifetime and we're already thinking about heading back next year for round 2!

One of the best travel experiences ever.
The experience was incredible and smooth from arrival. The location was right across from the airport [and the airport had impala and warthogs running around]. The drive to the lodge featured several animals, and at the camp gate a young bull elephant was eating away... Super start. The guide and team were wonderful and highly informative - any question they had answers... Can't say enough great things about the experience. From food, accomodation, people... everything was as close to perfect as could be. You won't regret it, and you might want to stay longer.

Even better than I thought it would be
I'm not sure why I haven't done much research about South Africa itself before my trip. I think I wanted it to be a surprise, but I was always told to be careful, it's a dangerous place etc. I'm from Rio de Janeiro so I was never to worried about this comments. People in UK only get to know some places via the news, and the news not always say good things.
What I found when we arrived in Johannesburg was the most friendly and helpful people. Yes, we tipped everyone for the smallest favour, which some people can find a bit annoying, but we went prepared, and really, when you think that this is how a lot of people make their living, and converting to GBP this was such a small amount to us, we were more than help to tip for a good service.
In Johannesburg we got Ubers from our hotel to the Aparthaid museum, a must if you are interested in history. And on another day we tried to go to the Origns Centre at Wits University, but getting there we found out it was temporarily close, so we... Read more got another Uber and went to Cradle of Humankind. In my honest opinion, it wasn't worth the 1 hour trip, being at the Cradle of Humankind its quite an amazing thing alone, but the information centre, unfortunately, wasn't that great to me. There are some information about human evolution and the fossils found there, but that's about it.
After a couple days in Johannesburg we headed to Hoedspruit. Shinzelle Safari has organised our trip and they did the best job. We were picked up in the airport on time, our drive took around 5/6 hours but our driver stopped every two hours. We were took to our lodge Khaya Ndlovu, what a place! The view was just breathtaking, the staff again, all so friendly, the room was beautiful and clean, and the food was sensational!
We went on game drivers in the reserve where our lodge were, and on Kruger. In both we saw so much wild life, and we had the best guides as well, they had so much knowledge and love for the animal which were truly inspiring. We also did a day driving around the Blyde River Canyon, and we also did a boat trip, the Canyon is definitely on the list of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
I have been telling everyone how fantastic everything was. I would 100% recommend everything we did, and would definitely go back and try things we haven't had time to experience. We did a 7 days trip and this was simply not enough to see everything this beautiful country has to offer.
