Outstanding adventure
5/5

Our tour was simply amazing. We enjoyed every moment of it. We were extremely lucky to get a chance to see the big 5. Our tour guide (Soloman) was extremely knowledgeable and nice. I travelled with my wife and our 4 children. Solomon knew exactly where to go and provided us with hystorical facts about the area and wildlife. We couldnt have asked for a better tour guide. This was a trip of a lifetime.

Group Transport in Diani
5/5

Victor safaris handled our large group’s transport (for 100+ people) around Dionne Beach. The drivers were punctual, courteous, and Victor was very communicative. Would highly recommend!

Best Tour Operator that we have had ghe pleasure of dealing with
5/5

Safari Online was professional, considerate and from our brief Walter Kohrs declped a tailor-made tour of the Okavango Delta that was perfect for our family. We were kept informed and updated along the way from the initial proposed tour video to the final app with all our tour information. Safari Online worked within our budget and presented us with an amazing experience that was well worth the expense as everything was included in the price.

Compliments to Wilderness Safaris who managed our local Botswana travel to the Okavango. Transfers to and from the various camps by small aircraft proceeded like clockwork without any delays or complications.

We visited three Camps in the Delta and Linyanti Concession-

Tubu Tree Camp was beauifully appointed and met all our expectations - hospitality of the staff, comfort of the lodge, excellent game drives and plentiful nutrional and tasty meals. We felt pampered at all times, nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

Pelo Camp was a gem on a beautiful island, small intimate setting and refreshingly rustic with amazing attentive staff who were friendly and wonderful hosts. The food was exceptional. The beauty of this camp was it's location on the overwhelming vast waterways to navigate by mokoro and boat wih an abundance of bird sightings. We also experinced great game drives and incredible sunsets from this camp.

Our final destination was Wilderness Savuti Camp. The rooms were beautifully appointed with all the amenties of a 5 star Lodge. The meals were substantial and delcious with a wide variety at each meal to cater for everoune's palate. A highlight was going on a night game drive to see nocturnal animals not always visible in the day.

All the camps welcomed us to boma evenings which were heartwarming and special, giving us a glimpse of all the staff that contributed in making our visit to each of the camps so incredible and memorable.

Thank you Botswana, we will never forget you and your people!

Outstanding journey designers, wonderful stay
5/5

Our trip was wonderful thanks to The Soul Of Tanzania. They provide outstanding service, advice and help. Our journey designer Jose was very professional and always responded to our emails very quickly, making us feel supported every time we had any kind of question and request.
We were also very happy with the taxi driver that came and picked us up from the airport, he was very professional and gave us an interesting lesson on the history of Tanzania on our way to Arusha. Burunge and Acacia camps exceeded our expectations, they were beautiful and the staff was always welcoming and attentive to our every need as well as the food that was fresh, healthy and local. We appreciated that the food had traditional dishes, spices and flavors. In Rhino lodge the rooms were satisfactory but the food was delicious and everybody was, as always, very kind and helpful.
We were extremely happy with our safari guide Lom. He is extraordinarily talented, competent, kind and was very attentive to our needs and interests, he is truly a five star guide. He is also very precious because he shared his Maasai culture with us and in addition to knowing all the safari animals he is also very good in identifying and finding birds. He is also a very careful and safe driver. If we were to return we would definitely ask for him once again and we highly recommend him as a safari guide to your future clients.
A 10/10 trip!

A Memorable Experience.
5/5

We would express our gratitude and appreciation to Mo Afrika Tours and their staff for an amazing game drive for the management team of our firm. We visited the Pilanesberg National Park in July 2024 and had a memorable experience with the wildlife and nature.

From the moment we contacted Mo Afrika Tours, they were very responsive and helpful. They answered all our questions and provided us with detailed information. They also arranged a comfortable and spacious vehicle for our group of 10 people.

The highlight of our trip was the game drive with our guide, “Sticks”. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and the environment. He spotted many different species of wildlife, including lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, and antelopes. He also shared interesting and fun facts about their behavior, habits, and conservation. He was very respectful of the animals and their space, and he followed the park rules and regulations. He also had a great sense of humor and made us laugh with his jokes and stories. He was attentive to our needs and preferences, and he stopped at several scenic spots for us to take photos and enjoy the views.

We recommend Mo Afrika to anyone who is looking for an unforgettable game drive experience.

Luxury prices, economy experience
1/5

I had been to Kenya before with a high-end travel company and thought I knew what to expect. The price from Freedom Africa was a bit of a shock at over £14k but included Giraffe Manor in Nairobi. I was therefore expecting a high standard of accommodation and safari guides.

I had arranged to go to the Nairobi Elephant Nursery on the first morning before we were taken to Giraffe Manor. There was absolutely no flexibility in transportation so we had to pay an extra £140 for what amounted to a 20 minute taxi ride. After Giraffe Manor we went to Sweetwaters with what we thought was going to be our safari guide for the holiday. He was excellent and the accommodation on our first stop was quite good.

After Sweetwaters we went back to Nairobi and were put on a train to Amboseli (fare: £5 for first class). That was the last we saw of our guide until the final hotel when we bumped into him driving another party.

From then on the quality of the trip deteriorated with every stop. We did not have our own guides, we had hotel drivers who in our opinion are not safari guides. We spotted lions before they did, we heard the story of elephants' teeth from every one of them. Some didn't speak English very well. We were booked on a walking safari and they tried to charge extra. Every time we entered a national park we were asked for the entry fees which we had already paid.
Lodges were variable but none are what I would call luxury standard, and some are in fact described as basic. The worst lodge was Salt Lick at Taita HIlls - it was overcrowded and we had to wait for a table at dinner time. The drivers were silent and the cars were full, with people talking on their phones. We went to a rock which had a lone lioness and I counted 35 cars jostling for position to see an ear. The lodge is in two parts, the accommodation block with a restaurant and another block which has the pool and spa. On our second day we didn't leave the accommodation block or go on any drives because we couldn't bear the noise. It was the best day there. We couldn't wait to leave,

When I got back I complained to Freedom Africa. They said they were "surprised" to hear I wasn't entirely happy with my holiday. Further emails went unanswered. They didn't want to listen to any of my comments and insisted Salt Lick was one of their most popular lodges.

I had also booked a holiday with Freedom Asia which is part of the same group and had even worse problems with them.

Incredible! A Must See and experience vacation
5/5

I would recommend Spirit of Kenya to everyone! This was my first trip overseas and a dream vacation – the guides made me feel at ease, comfortable and went out of their way to ensure I had the best experience. Words cannot explain the experiences I had and the beauty of this country. The accommodation and people were top notch! I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to everyone! I am already working on booking my next trip with them.
