Timbuktu Created a Once in a Lifetime Experience for my Fiancé and I!
I wish there were more stars to rate Timbuktu!!
Katherine, our travel specialist, was able to put together a dream safari for us in 3 days! We e-mailed her 1 week before our departure and she went out of her way to book and plan a 13 day private, custom safari for us. We were ale to sort through the details in one phone call, then she sent an interactive link for our trip so that we could see all of the lodges and itinerary she had put together. She went above and beyond simply booking the trip. She pieced everything together and booked every transfer and flight, all we had to do was show up at the airport in Dar es Salaam. I am so touched by the arrangements she made for us to make our experience one of a kind.
Also, the guide she booked for us exceed all of our expectations. Ask for Charles if you can! He is so dedicated to what he does and filled our heads with an amazing amount of animal facts! He made sure we saw Everything and even laughed at our animal jokes :)
Thank you Kathrine and Timbuktu for creating such a memorable experience for us!!!

Wonderful South Africa Tour
It was better than expected!
We were a group of 7 people and it was an authentic and amazing experience. Thanks to Thierry knowledges (the guide), we went in strategic points to well observe various big 5 (e.g. Elephants and lions close to the water at the same time). All details was well organise, clean and save.
I highly recommend Biwakwango to do Safari in South Africa and I will for sure renew the experience.

Once in a lifetime experience
We were visiting Tanzania for a couple of weeks but decided we wanted to do a safari first. We chose, after a few quotes to go with Lion King and they didn't disappoint. Anna, who helped organise our trip was just brilliant. She helped tailor our trip and also helped with things which weren't even related to our safari too, such as visiting a children's home, questions about local currency etc. Our guides were really nice, helpful and funny and they definitely help make the trip. We saw everything we wanted and our guide even managed to 'read' where a couple of lions were going to move to and found us a great viewing spot. The lodges Lion King organised were top notch, one of which was out of this world! Lion King also organised each day a picnic lunch which was lovely. We really felt safe, looked after, well informed and more importantly had great fun. We could not recommend this company any more.

Incredible and Surreal Experience
Sirini team went above and beyond to help our group of 6 friends with the itinerary to suit everyone's needs and budget. She had an immense patience with all our tiny questions and excellent suggestions based on group traveling. Our safari car was a fantastic 4x4 Land Cruiser and Deo was a truly exceptional guide. We loved the fact that our trip was all about exploration and driving off the beaten paths where not many other tourists go. We saw the most incredible variety of wildlife and learned a lot about living in wilderness. It was a real adventure. The best part of the safari was - everything.

The trip of a lifetime!
My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary and belated honeymoon in South Africa , and the first week was an exclusive safari in Kruger park and the surrounding area arranged by safari with us.
Wow!
From the first email correspondence with Andre until the last hug goodbye with Ettienne our skilled guide- we have only good things to say! Andre was very accommodating and helpful in arranging our trip and updating us right away with anything that came up. He advised us as to what package would suit our needs and answered all questions that came up in a very timely manner.
Ettienne was waiting for us when we landed in JNB and was our fearless leader, guide, driver and advisor throughout the trip. His fun attitude and wealth of knowledge in all things safari and Africa related were a huge plus to our trip. We got insider information on the most wonderful extra activities available near where we were staying and he even spent the time helping us plan the next leg of our journey (self driving down the garden route) so that we get the very most out of our time in this beautiful country. He made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip and was a pleasure to have as a traveling companion throughout.
We would definitely recommend safari with us and Ettienne as a guide for any group, big or small. This company will take care of you , be straightforward about everything, tailor your trip to your needs, and will also be happy to help with anything else if they are able. 5 glowing stars to them!!

Lifetime memories
Our experience with ajabu safaris from start to finnish was excellent. From the
iniatial contact with anja sorting out our itinary was easy and straight forward. When we arrived in Tanzania our guide Juma was there to meet us, for the next 8 days we experienced a wonderful safari due the experience and knowlede of Juma. He took his time where other guides just seem to soeed everywhere. due to his patience and knowledge we saw the big 5 but more importantly we learned about the animals and there environment and the measures to stop poaching. We could not have had a better guide.
We will rember ou trip for our liftime
and Juma.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to Claus, Norah and Easy Travel
We had a wonderful 8 day Safari through the Northern Circuit (Tanzania). Based on many reviews here on Tripadvisor we ended up choosing EasyTravel and never regretted our decision. The whole process, starting with first contact, the planning process, the safari itself, was perfectly executed.
Our consultant Norah advised us from our very first e-mail, helped us set-up tour itinerary and planned the whole trip from beginning to end.
We were very lucky to have Claus as our safari guide. Fantastic fun guy, Claus really knows all the national parks, has incredible wealth of experience and you sometimes get the feel he knows the animals by name ;). Oh, and he makes sure, you get the best photo opportunities and positions to see your favorite animals :). He is a very good and safe driver as well.
We had a fantastic time, thank you Norah, thank you Claus for making this an unforgettable experience!

A perfect Kilimanjaro experience with WildRootSafaris
Ten days to climb Kilimanjaro, meet Masaïs and to visit the Lake Manyara during a one day safari. The whole team of WildRootSafaris is great and very competent. Mathew, the boss, is looking after our expectations and finding solutions if something goes wrong. I highly recommend this company for organizing safaris, trekking or visiting Tanzania !

12-day trip with Tony Mobile Safari.
A few days ago, my wife and I returned from a 12-day trip with Tony Mobile Safari. This was our third trip to Botswana and, undoubtedly, the best. We saw several times more and better than our previous trips. And all thanks to the excellent guide and driver Tony. His excellent knowledge of the landscape, the habits of animals and birds helped at the right time in the right place, to find and watch animals from the best position. Tony, being and a wonderful photographer constantly cared about it. Together with his assistant, Eddie , they also provided good conditions and excellent food in the campsites. A trip with Tony is a 100% safari from the very beginning to the end of our tour. During our trips from the park to the park, Tony told us that the cameras were ready - the safari did not stop. If we go back to Botswana, then certainly turn to Tony Mobile Safari - the best company, from those with whom we traveled to Botswana ! Thank you so much , Tony and Eddy !

Great experience with a pleasant trip
It was great experience traveling with lakeside tours and travel in Uganda. I visited Queen Elizabeth national park, where wild buffalo herds, deer, birds and elephants. The most enjoyable was the boat trip in lakes of George and Edward where I saw crocodiles, hippos, white eagles, swans and elephants that were in large numbers. The accompanying staff was very cool and I would like to thank Bonny very much for serving me throughout my stay there. I will go back and repeat this experience again in near but for a longer period of this certainly.
