I would highly recommend this trip.
Every part of our trip, including Johannesburg, Mala Mala, Victoria Falls and Cape Town, was well managed and included knowledgeable guides. Each experience was full of learning and an amazing trip overall. The safari in Mala Mala was the highlight where our guide, Nick, did his best to assure we would see all the possible animals in this game reserve. Even last minute adds, like our helicopter tour over Victoria Falls and the hot air balloon ride over wine country in Cape Town, were handled extremely well. I would highly recommend this trip put together by Ranger Bucks! We felt the cost of the trip was very fair, with the fine places we stayed, the management of our time and communication was great.

Excellent itinerary enabling us to visit several of the great National Parks of Tanzania + Zanzibar
We had a wonderful time ,the trip went off very smoothly from being met at the airport and then being looked after from then on . Our driver Simon was excellent and took great trouble to show us everything although the Rhino was a bit elusive !! The hot lunches were a wow factor and enjoyed by all .
We visited Lake Manyana ,Serengeti, Ngorongo Crater, Tangire Nat. Park all were excellent seeing the animals and birds and Simon pointing everything out that we would have missed !
The tour around Stonetown in Zanzibar was excellent with a wonderful guide We learnt a lot about the history . The swimming with dolphin tour was fun .. just one little gripe ..we were not given any information on what to wear or take and found as two ladies who hadn't donned swimsuits in advance, changing in a car in public was a bit daunting !!!! We were not told there were no changing facilities !!
The tour was fantastic in every way and it was a lovely personal touch to meet Hamisi on our arrival and to know we were being looked after .
Would certainly recommend this company ,and have already recommended to our friends .

Professional, knowledgeable and organized
We were a group of 10 coming from Canada and we hired Lomo for our first ever safari. Adam and Allan were excellent guides. The food they made for us was great and they made our experience memorable. Thank you Lomo

Precise, punctual, caring
Even though I was staying 20 minutes outside of Nairobi, the team sent my way Francis to pick me up and bring me to the meeting point with the rest of the group. He was in front of my place 5 minutes earlier and brought me to the office first, to meet the whole team and to get briefed about the experience, and then to the meeting point.
There I met our guide Moses and the rest of the group. Moses has been an incredible guide. He is pragmatic, skilled and knowledgeable. He made sure that the whole group was always comfortable and was always smiling and cheerful. His driving skills are insane and even though the road is very bumpy and slippery, he always made us feel safe.
During the game drives he always made sure to go for the unbeaten tracks in order for us to get the best views of every animal, and did everything he could to look for animals that we hadn't seen yet. On our way back he offered to drop me off closer to my stay and even called a taxi for me to get home safe.
The accommodation was comfortable and food was simple but tasteful and healthy, they also provide vegetarian options.

A super friendly, remote and luxurious encounter with wildlife in a beautiful environment
Our safari to Lower Zambezi National Park organized by Wilderness Horizon Safaris was an unforgettable experience!
Eva supported us with finding the most suited package for our wishes. She also supported with organizing the payment, which is reliable (for all foreigners being a bit hesitant to send a sum of money to a Zambian account ;) ) and worked well.
Our guide David was both extremely knowledgeable and hospitable. He was able to search the tracks to see a variety of beautiful animals in their natural environment. Supported by the chef he also aranged several delicious picknicks in the park. The landscape of the park is so beautiful and diverse, changing constantly in appearance. It feels relatively remote, which adds to the adventurous experience of being truly deep in the wilderness. Add elephants, hippos, impalas, crocodiles and lions to the mix and you won't believe your eyes. We were even lucky enough to encounter the wild dogs.
The lodge makes you feel completely at home, very comfortable (we concluded best bed in the world) and with a staff that goes the extra mile in everything they do. Don't forget to put off the lights at night, the view on the milky way is stunning.
Basically, we were sad to leave. Everyone interested in a safari, we would definitely recommend to book via Wilderness Horizon Safaris!

Very professional, reliable, and responsive.
The booking process was a breeze. Both Pamela and Blessing were very communicable and responsive. The whole trip was amazing! Every place we visited was beautiful and we enjoyed it very much. Hotels were nice and comfortable, food were fantastic, and more importantly our guide, Moto, was incredible. He always made sure we were well looked after, and definitely made the trip more memorable. Thank you very much!

Dennis was attentive to details, a good listener and responsive to our needs.
Our safari with Morningstar Safaris was incredible. Our guide, Jackson, was amazing! He was: prompt, reliable, responsive, compassionate, educational, informative, flexible, fun loving, great spotter of animals/birds, heartfelt, helpful and an absolutely amazing driver of the challenging "roads". We could not have chosen a better fit for our family than Jackson. Jackson even helped us navigate an issue with our lodging on our last night. We truly cannot thank him enough. We call ourselves Team Jackson as we were able to see so many animals/birds during our 8 days together ❤️. We saw elephants,lions,zebras,wildebeest, giraffes, vultures, leopard, flamingos, warthogs, gazelles, dick dicks,monkeys, baboons and so many more birds/animals. We were fortunate to see baby zebras/elephants/giraffes that were sometimes nursing. The animals would occasionally walk very close to our safari truck. Jackson helped us navigate these close encounters successfully.
The camps/ lodges chosen for us were wonderful. Staff at Osinon Camp was wonderful and the food was so delicious!
We felt like Dennis created a reasonably priced safari experience that was an excellent experience thanks to our guide Jackson!
We would definitely use Morningstar again.
By the way, be aware that the Serengeti National Park does controlled burns in late June. This was a concern for us as 2 of our party have asthma. The Camp was responsive and moved us to the tents that were further away from the fire sites.
Again, Dennis was very helpful with planning our safari experience and very upfront about price breakdowns. We felt safe and cared for the entire time.

Wonderful experience, great guide
Communication and planning were top notch - we were contacted by our guide, Humphrey, before we were due to depart and were provided our guides details in advance too.
Humphrey was at our meeting spot in advance of our arrival and had us loaded up and on the road in short order.
We arrived at the park around 8am from Arusha and had a wonderful day day - we think we were incredibly lucky with what we saw during the day - lions, elephants, zebra, impala, ostriches, wilderness, vultures (feeding and flying!), dikdik, waterbuck, and buffalo, to name a few.
Humphrey has amazing eyes and pointed us to lilac breasted roller birds and tiny rock hyrax, and two types of mongoose. How he spotted these for us is beyond belief.
The day Humphrey planned for us had us at the quiet spots for lunch and not on top of other safari trucks.
The packed lunch was delicious, and not all the same so we could swap to meet our preferences.
Over all a wonderful day and we know how lucky we are - to any anyone reading this, we wish you the same fabulous sightings and experience we had.
