Very happy with every aspect of this trip.
My first international trip was a great success thanks to my traveling partner and the good folks of Go 2 Africa Luxury Safaris! Simon and Derek's information was concise and accurate. We were provided with great opportunities to see a plethora of wildlife. The lodging and food provided to us was as expected and has left me with many great memories of Kenya and Tanzania. Our guides, Obama, Patrick and Aloyce we very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. 60 lions, 12 cheetahs, 4 leopards and all the other animals overwhelmed my expectations! An experience I will never forget, and thankful for help and and expertise that Go 2 Africa Luxury Safaris provided.

impressive journey to the Elephant Coast of South-Africa
Still excited about our impressive journey through the beautifull countryside of South Africa, the Elephant Coast, are we, back in the Netherlands, longing for the sunsets, Hippos, brutal monkeys, grumpy Elephants, adorable Zebra foal, the hide and seek gamedrives with Tom (our guide and manager of Thembe Elephant Park, who learned us so much about tracks and spurs), the still not found Leopard, the self driven games looking for hidden animals.
We still don't know whether it was the gamedrives or travelling itself, which gave us this special Africa feeling.
The whole journey was a wonderfull experience.
The ever changing countryside.
All those people, so many, doing apparently nothing, but still merry and friendly.
The big differences between poor and rich.
Not to mention the potholes, small, big, everywhere. But I missed the most of them, which means I have seen each and every meter of the 3000 km. Piece of cake with a Toyota Fortuner.
To much to enumerate, but still present in our minds.
We thank Tailormade Safaris for fulfilling our dream trip.
The acquaintance, preparation and support where wunderfull. We never had any worry's at all.
This is the kind of holiday one whishes and they made it possible.
Impressive in every way.
....... or was it, the Wetland gamedrive, with Nick, the Estuary, the powerfull Ocean and his private cooking on the beach, with greedy monkeys waiting for a chance to join in.
Or was it ...................
We still dont know, see it yourself.
We recommend, it was beyond our expectations.
So many thanks.
Best regards from the Hoeven family.

Amazing Safari! Thank you ANDA!
My girlfriend and I have contacted several safari companies around Moshi / Arusha to plan and organize a 6 day safari on the northern circuit for us. From all the offers we got, we chose ANDA mostly because of the excellent email communication through which they have answered all our questions (we've exchanged about 50 emails) and helped us figure out the best itinerary for us. Of course the price offer was also very good.
Our final schedule was the following
1st day: Tarangire NP
2nd, 3rd and 4th day: Serengeti NP
5th day: Serengeti in the morning, then drive to Ngorongoro Crater Rim
6th day: Ngorongoro Crater
Regarding the schedule, we are very glad we have added an extra day in Serengeti and regret that we have only stayed a half day in the Ngorongoro crater.
We have chosen a camping safari, so 4 nights out of five we've spent in a tent.
We have paid for the safari in advance via bank transfer,it felt good that we didn't have to walk around with so much cash until our safari started.
We've met our guide Peter and chef Habibu on the first morning, they picked us up from our hotel in Arusha. Peter was an excellent guide! We have learned a lot about the national parks, animals and Tanzania in general from him. The game drives were simply perfect, he has the eye of a hawk and spotted several times animals very far away or hidden in the shrubs. Without him, we would have probably missed about 50% of the animals we've seen. He always made sure we spend as much time as possible on game drives. One day, the car's radiator had a small problem and he went to fix it before eating his lunch to make sure that we can continue in the afternoon, despite we've started at 6 AM in the morning. Also it was never a problem to drive us to a shop to buy some beers to wash down the dust of the road or to drive back and forth 10 times 1 meter just to get that perfect shot of the giraffe. :)
Chef Habibu was also doing an excellent job! The last thing I had hoped for was eating delicious food while on the safari so I was very surprised when I tasted the first dinner, which was very delicious. This became the norm after that. All the meals served by Habibu were plentiful and tasted excellent, despite the very limited equipment he had available for cooking.
It was very nice to also meet Christina at the end of our trip! She is a very kind an energetic person and she even offered herself to drive us to the bus station to buy our tickets to the Usambara mountains and Peter was kind enough to drive to the bus station the next morning, although our safari was already over.
We are very glad we've chosen ANDA for our adventure in Tanzania, and we can highly recommend them to anyone planning to visit Tanzania.

Great Trip! Amazing Safari Experience!
Mr. Kuti, is very professional from planning the safari tour in Kenya up to the actual Safari experience itself. Our tour guide/driver Eusty is very professional and fun to be with. We saw the big 5 in our 5 day stay in Kenya. We are looking forward of meeting them again in our next safari tour in Tanzania.

Awesoooome!
We did a two day trip at Tarangire and Ngorongoro. It was amazing! Our tour guide was really good and easygoing, he knew many interesting things, you can tell he loves his job. He made good preparations so we could go into the park with no long wait, which we really appreciated. The food was awesome too. It was a great adventure with good people.

Safpol Safaris Exceeded All Expectations
As this was our first trip to Namibia (and Africa!) we decided we felt more comfortable with some assistance from a local tour operator, preferably travel in a small group. Our price was medium range and we were looking for a good value for money: affordable, but good hotels/ lodges and above all excellent logistics. I began conversations with a representative of Safpol Safaris as well as one other Namibian operator, and learned quite a bit it the process. Safpol Safaris offered us the best accommodation for less expensive price in comparison to other operators, their package was also more comprehensive and therefore I felt more comfortable with them.
I travel a lot and am very picky!. We had a limited amount of time to travel and wanted to focus all of our energy on getting to know one country as best as we could in the time at hand. Safpol Safaris organised this trip perfectly, exactly as we wanted and better than we could expect.
Namibia speaks for itself. Drop dead gorgeous landscape and natural wonders. A solid tourism infrastructure that is still relatively undiscovered. Even at Sossusvlei, we never felt overcrowding.
I highly recommend Safpol Safaris. You will be glad if you choose this company to organise your travel in Southern Africa. I am already planning our next trip to South Africa and Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) with Safpol next year.

Excellent Escorted Photo Safari
I went on a group photo safari from Classic Journeys Africa, which was escorted and led by experienced wildlife photographer Glyn Edmunds. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish and I learned a lot about photographing wildlife.
We visited Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara and saw a huge range of wildlife, including the Big 5 (4 of them on the first day!), the Samburu Special 5, elephants crossing a river and wildebeest crossing the Mara River. It was an amazing experience all round, highly recommended.

Great Short Notice Safari
My wife and I have been on many safaris, so we know what we want, and when getting quotations we are often met with a poor attitude and equally poor communication and pricing, so when we had excellent communication, good attitude and good pricing from Classic Journeys Africa, we instantly booked a short notice (just 2 weeks) safari.
Our opinion of Classic Journeys was fully justified, as they organised everything very quickly, provided excellent service throughout and gave us a very experienced driver guide, who is now a friend!
We are already in the process of planning our next safari with Classic Journeys!
