Young, warm and welcoming company which offers tailor made trips and safaris!
So, we’re do I start. We’ve booked a trip to Tanzania, first of all Because the country offers a great combination of wildlife animals, hiking, mountain climbing through amazing landscapes and beautiful nature and for sure a unique culture. Thanks to Safari GOATS and our Safari guide Frank we visited tons of places you normally would’t see if you book a trip on your own. Also I would like to thank Amir Harun and his team already. Amir was our mountain guide. He has roughly 16 years of experience climbing both Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Without this guy we couldn’t have reached both summits!
The first day nearby Materuni we’ve made our own coffee and learned about the originin of arabica coffee together with the local tribe. After our lunch we got a chance to buy some coffee and cultural art work from this local tribe. I can tell you, these are real business people. Rarely there are fix prices, so you have to bargain to make a good deal. After that, the guide took us for a walk through Materuni (last village before Kilimanjaro, we’ll be climbing this big friend later on our trip) to finally reach the amazing waterfall.
We also did Napuru waterfall, kanoed on Chala lake and visited kikuletwa (chemka) hot spring. Maaan this hot spring is amazing. The water is cristal clear. Could spend my whole trip here. You can swing from a rope, do a couple of backflips and I even saw a giant turtle!
What to say about these safaris. With Frank we have had an amazing safari guide. His knowledge about wildlife surpasses any expectations. The roads of Ngorongoro and Serengeti are printed in his brains I guess. He knows very good we’re to look for wildlife. Giraffe, elephants, zebras, leopards, Cheetahs, lions and lioness. We saw it all. Like my fellow travel buddy, Arne, said: “words nor pictures can describe how magnificent this place is".
I want to end with a big thank you to Safari GOATS. They have exceeded our expectations by far. It’s a rather small company. But that makes them very authentic, flexible towards us as clients. You’re not a number and their trips are tailor made. It’s a young and fresh company, but at the same time warm and welcoming. And also a special thanks to Uncle Nazoro. This man’s hospitality is your grandma’s hospitability myltiplied by 10. Lovely man with a big heart.

Very pleasant experience
The handling of the booking and payment from abroad has been swift and efficient, communication was great, fast replys to my emails and questions, crystal-clear quotes and infos. I have been picked up from my accommodation on time, had a comfortable long drive to the Amboseli NP, got checked in at the fantastic Serena Lodge and went straight to the first game drive. The driver I had been assigned to, Peter, has been a charm, very knowledgeable about the animals behaviour, local customs and Kenyan culture. He has been great at providing me fine photo opportunities and proved to be a good travel companion. The Serena Lodge has a high standard, be it lodging facilities, food quality or staff manners. The prices you pay translate in top accommodation, comfort and services, and you're glad you have such comfort after a whole day in the park. I highly recommend African Trails Expeditions for their professionalim and I thank Mercy and Peter for their will to make my trip so enjoyable.

Outstanding
Southbound Tours arranged a superb 10 day fly in safari of Namibia, visiting Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland & Etosha. Seeing Namibia from the air was a wonderful experience, each leg of the journey being about an hour in a light aircraft. On arrival at Windhoek airport I was met by Marco and he gave me a shoulder bag full of useful items for the trip.
The organisation of the holiday and communication before and during it were excellent. A truly memorable trip - stunning landscapes, lovely people, great wildlife, wonderful hospitality. Highly recommended.

Brilliant 8 day Lemosho Route hike!
I booked the 8 day Lemosho route hike with Almighty Kilimanjaro via The Adventure People. The hike was fantastic, and our guides (Joseph and Muni) were both brilliant throughout. They were kind, keen to answer our many questions, and explained lots to us about the terrain and the mountain along the way. I booked as a solo traveller, and together we were a group of two which worked well. The wider team of cook/waiter/porters were also excellent, and I cannot thank them enough for their amazing efforts, and helping to get us to the summit. They always arrived ahead of us at the campsite, and set up our tents/prepared food etc, and were very reliable and helpful. The hike itself was well planned, and we had plenty of time for rest and recovery along the way. I would highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro, they were great. Thank you!

Sam, Patrick, Joel & Omar were excellent operators - fantastic service the best safari weekend ever!
The weekend was very well organised, everything ran on time & the safari team made sure we utilised the day. The accommodation and sunrise game drive were amazing & we saw lots of animals in murchison national park. I would definitely recommend this tour agency! Thank you Pearl Afric!

Uganda you have my heart - 5 star experience
I can not recommend Dav Safaris highly enough! Richard was our tour guide and he was the BEST, his English was fantastic. He is such a genuine and lovely person with great local knowledge. Our experience with the Gorilla’s was surreal, such a special and unique experience and our stay on the island was magical!

Awesome safari with the best guide (Kikitu)
Jocky’s 7 day safari was an outstanding experience overall. Everything was very well organized and communicated and I could not have wished for a better guide than Kikitu. He’s such a funny, cheerful and knowledgeable character who always made sure everybody’s wishes were taken care of. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great safari experience with lots of animals in Kenya. 🇰🇪

Richard was very knowledgeable, friendly, and committed to making sure I saw everything I wanted.
I did a day trip from Kigali to Akagera National Park and had a great experience with Shalom Safaris! Unlike other services where you have to pay separately for park entrance fees, meals and other aspects of the experience, this booking included everything I needed for the day. My guide, Richard, was very knowledgeable and committed to making it a great experience, and we managed to see four of the "big five" animals (including lions, which can be difficult to find during the hit mid-day hours). I definitely recommend it!
