Once in a Lifetime Experience!
We had the good fortune to select Easy Travel for a 6-day Tanzania safari Sept 2-8. What an amazing trip! Our tour manager was extremely attentive and helpful and we had an excellent driver -- knowledgeable, patient, professional. We saw countless animals and always felt safe. Accommodations and food were terrific too. I highly (and wholeheartedly) recommend Easy Travel tours!

Our Safari with Moriti was the absolute most wonderful experience of a lifetime!
From the moment we landed in Johannesburg and were met by our guide, William, until we departed from Zimbabwe, our Moriti Safari was perfect. Working with Shaun to plan our private safari was so easy---everything worked out perfectly. William was just great. He was very informative and helpful.
Really, the whole experience surpassed our expectations. We saw the Big Five right away, along with so many other animals.
At MZumba Lodge we were treated like royalty! The accommodations, the food, the daily safaris were unbelievable! Our hosts, Berner and Rika, and the staff were super. And all for just the two of us! Incredible!
Shaun also planned our side trip to Victoria Falls. A sight not to be missed.
Moriti Safaris is the only way to go. We are already planning another trip with Shaun.

No extras. We had smooth and wonderful trip.

Amazing to experience the wilderness of Kruger that's led by animals!
Kruger is one of the most amazing places I've ever been. I expected to go there just for the wildlife, but ended up admiring not only the animals but the beautiful and expansive nature and even started to appreciate all the beautiful birds. One of our greatest experiences was the wilderness walk we made. We stayed in a beautiful small camp in the middle of nowhere, were no cars and tourists can come. We slept just a few metres away from a waterhole with elephants, buffalos, rhinos and other animals around us throughout the day. Walking with the rangers was a once in a lifetime experience that you shouldn't miss when you visit Kruger. It was a great change after a few days of wildlife spotting in the car. However, I can recommend driving through Kruger as well. It's a great way to spot animals and enjoy the beauty of the park. We stayed at .. and .. and drove every day from 06:00 - 18:00. These early and late moments of the day are the best since animals you don't see during the day show themselves and give some spectacular viewings. I always thought that going to Kruger was only for 'rich people', but it's very affordable if you just go there with your own car and stay in a tent or small cottage in one of the camps. A must do when you're in South-Africa! And please bring your binocular and camera, but don't forget to enjoy the moments and don't just see the animals through your camera :-)

Review about South Africa by Anouk Pilon
South Africa is a great country full of beautiful nature ánd culture. These two make this country a great destination for a holiday. Just make sure you have some time to enjoy the different parts of this country and don't rush to see as much as possible in a short time. It's much better to really enjoy two or three places instead of seeing everything shortly. My ideal trip would be a week in Kruger (including a wilderness walk!), visiting Drakensberg and/or Blyde River Canyon and driving (part of) the Gardenroute. Please don't forget to do a township tour to see this part of the country as well and understand it a bit better. SA is beautiful, but there are still many challenges especially for the poor people. Please pay attention to this part of the country as well. The beggars on the street can be annoying, but take the time to listen to them and treat them like any other human. You don't support them by giving money, spend your money on the people who work for it instead. That's how you can really support the people and the country. And don't forget to enjoy! :-)

Far above our expectations
My family of six (3 sisters and our husbands) just got back last week from our African Safari tour with World Air & Travel Tours. What a trip! Having never been to Africa, we weren't sure what to expect. So we were very happy to see that it was simply amazing.
Elias had worked with us to tailor the dates, locations, and lodging just for us and our needs. He found a lodge for us that was far more luxurious and beautiful than any place I had ever stayed in. I could have stayed on for the whole trip!
However, we moved on to the Serengeti to our tent camping locations. They were actually very comfortable, with great beds! And the service by the camp staff was as good as any you'd find in fine hotels and restaurants in Europe. Great people!
Our guide was John. What a great guy! He drove through really tricky conditions and rough roads, but not once was I afraid with him behind the wheel. We all felt that he could be a professional stunt driver! He also was so patient with the amount of time we wanted to stare at the animals. He found all of them that we had wanted to see: elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, cheeta, leopard, wart hogs, millions of hooved animals. The migration was stunning.
We also were interested in finding as many types of birds as possible, and he knew the name of each one.
All in all, it truly was the Trip of a Lifetime. I've travelled to Europe many times, but this trip was so unique and memorable. If you are contemplating this trip, don't hesitate.

4 Days Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru Tour
We had a great time on a 4 day safari for two with Beacon Safaris and would definitely recommend to others. Robert was always very quick to reply and helpful with responses to our questions during the arranging of the tour. Being able to pay by PayPal was also a big plus for us. Eustus was our guide for the tour and we thought he was excellent, always on time, always helpful and knowledgeable in answering our questions and a lovely guy. He was brilliant at spotting the wildlife and working our way around the park on our own rather than with lots of other vehicles meaning we saw a lot of the wildlife without other vehicles around. The accommodation and food was very nice and everything went very smoothly. Overall we were very happy with our experience with Beacon Safaris.

Expert guide,a birder with uncommon knowledge, patience, & an eye for even the slightest movement
As a locally owned and guided tour operator, RA Safaris was professional in every way: knowledge of the animals and habitat was impressive, as was their graciousness in responding to our needs. Our guide was very professional, and his open, friendly manner created an atmosphere of comfort and security. RA Safaris communicated with us clearly, comprehensively and regularly during the planning phase and the tour went flawlessly. I enthusiatically recommend this company!

Professional and Friendly Service
While comparing touring companies we found that World Air Travel was going to give us the most days and the best accommodations for the rate compared to the others. Elias also had the best customer service - no high pressure sales like the other operators. Elias took the time to answer our many questions, and worked with us to determine the best itinerary for our 10 day safari. We were a group of 6 and with John as our guide had an amazing and memorable safari. John is very skilled at driving the challenging roads of the Serengeti and finding the wildlife. If you are considering a tour company we highly recommend World Air Travel, and hope you have the pleasure of having John as your guide. Thank you John and Elias for a trip of a lifetime!
