A friendly, knowledgeable and excellent driver who gave us a brilliant week.
We spent a week in Tanzania, where we drove a huge distance over difficult roads each day. Our driver, Fadhili was exceptional! Spotting animals, left, right and centre, identifying and giving us fun and interesting facts about each one, while doing some amazing off road driving. He was very professional, friendly and welcoming and was a big part of our week out here.
The car was clean, spacious and comfy. Safari by Z provided us with binoculars, unlimited cold drinks and a free cap, as well as the best tour guide we could have hoped for. Having a Land Rover was really cool. A car that was powerful as well as making us feel safe.
The itinerary planned by the company was brilliant, with the perfect activities and plan, each day flew by.
We saw every animal we could have dreamed of and experienced some awesome moments and action. Safari by Z really helped this dream we had come true and I would recommend them to anyone. We loved it!!!
Exciting, comfortable, informative, hilarious, awesome
A well organised, comfortable and very exciting experience. Lambs, our tour guide, was hilarious, very friendly, flowing with passion and full of information. The sights we saw will stay with us for life. Just awesome and wholeheartedly recommend.

I can hardly imagine a better safari in Botswana than we had with Mzilikazi Way Safari.
My wife, 13-year-old son and I went on a 12-day mobile safari in the northern part of Botswana in July 2024. The safari was organized by the agency Mzilikazi Way Safari.
We traveled in a Toyota Land Cruiser, specially adapted for safari drives. Every day upon arrival at our destination, we were welcomed by an already set-up camp. This was the responsibility of the support team, who traveled ahead of us in their own vehicle. We slept in a comfortable tent with excellent beds and an attached bathroom, and enjoyed delicious, freshly prepared food by our chef.
From Maun, which was our starting point, we first visited the Tsodilo Hills near the Namibian border and viewed the millennia-old rock paintings of the Sun people. Members of the Sun from a nearby village visited us and presented some of their traditional crafts.
We then drove to the Makgadikgadi salt pans of the former lakes Nxai and Nwetwe. We slept under the open, clear southern starry sky. Besides visiting the colonies of meerkats, we went on a short hike with members of the Sun people, who demonstrated some survival skills in the Kalahari (such as fire-making).
This was followed by a true safari, visiting a chain of parks in northern Botswana, from the Okavango Delta near Maun, through Moremi, Khwai, and Savuti, to Chobe on the border with Zimbabwe. We encountered almost all the significant animals of this region, like elephants and giraffes, antelopes and zebras, African buffaloes, hippos, African wild dogs, jackals, hyenas, lions, a leopard, warthogs, honey badger, crocodiles, and of course, a multitude of different birds. It was magical. At night, lions roared around our camps, and hyenas called with their characteristic sounds.
The entire trip was guided (and driven) by the agency's owner, Vincent Okaile Mguni - Vinnie. The safari was excellently organized, everything worked flawlessly. Vinnie's extensive knowledge of nature and animals was astounding. He was reliable and friendly, an excellent companion on our almost two-week journey. As he was eager to share his knowledge with us, we learned a lot on this trip. Together with the support team (Daniel, who was responsible for setting up and taking down the camp, and Brighton, who was our incredible chef), we formed an excellent team.
short, the safari with Mzilikazi Way Safari was unforgettable, and I can hardly imagine anyone organizing a better one.I highly recommend it!

Top notch service from beginning to end of the trip
We had the pleasure of collaborating with Steve from Across Wilderness Expedition to plan our 7-day Kenya Safari. Over the course of several months, we exchanged numerous emails with Steve to finalize our itinerary, and he consistently demonstrated excellent communication skills and professionalism. He ensured that we had top-notch accommodations at each destination along our journey. The 4x4 safari jeep was truly incredible and spotlessly clean. Our guide Gibs had a keen ability to spot animals from afar with his sharp eyes. Our experience, starting from Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and concluding in Masai Mara, was impeccably orchestrated without missing a single detail. Throughout our holiday, Steve remained in contact with us to ensure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. He was always available with just a phone call, providing guidance through every step of our journey. His regular check-ins made us feel secure and well cared for by our driver guide Gibs. The meticulous itinerary crafted by him left no room for uncertainty, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in Kenya Safari. This level of planning contributed to a completely stress-free vacation! We are incredibly grateful to Steve and the team at Across Wilderness Expedition for their outstanding work!

Professional, responsive, attentive and clean, provided an amazing safari experience.
African Big Cats Safari were extremely responsive to all our questions during the planning stages and made great itinerary suggestions to maximize our experience during our 6 safari days.
Our guide, Iddy, was amazing and very professional. He knew where to take us for best wildlife viewing, he had a keen eye on spotting well camouflaged animals, he was very mindful of not being intrusive into the wildlife habitats, and we ended seeing an unbelievable number of species, ticking all the boxes on our bucket list, with the exception of the rino. Iddy kept an imaculate car daily and interacted very well with the children in our group, he was attentive and ready to respond to any of our needs.
We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serenghetti and Tarangire and each location was unique in its own way and enchanted us with an abundance of animals and diverse species. Lots of elefants and lions, elusive cheetas and leopards and a multitude of zebras, giraffes, antelopes, gnus, impalas, warthogs, hippos, many species of birds, just a fantastic and rich environment. We couldn’t be more pleased about the entire experiemce.
The entire trip from airport pick up to the safari itself to the airport drop off went smoothly without a hitch.
We felt very safe with Iddy and had a lot of trust in him. Highly recommend him as a guide!!
Overall, very pleased with the whole experience!

Fantastic 5-Day Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara safari
Most of my safaris are budget because my biggest motivation is photography. I did a day in lake Naivasha, 2 days lake Nakuru and 3 days Masa Mara. This operator was exceptional, I was particularly impressed with the guides good knowledge of the lake Naivasha and how the birds move around, the same was for lake Nakuru, I came across clusters of Flamingoes a host of many animals. The epitome however was Masai Mara, the great Wildebeest Migration was on, and I will forever credit ThinkScene Safaris for the wonderful itinerary

Amazing experience in Maasai Mara
I never do reviews but this time I couldn’t help but do it. My experience has been amazing with Lucy being always responsive, sharing all the info, and checking on me as well during the safari. But I have to say that the best part came with Sami, our guide and driver. Since the first moment it was easy too see how much he cares about the people with him, super knowledgeable, I learnt a lot from him, and a good person to jokes with. He drove us around for 10h no stop even if he was sick, thanks a lot Sami for this experience and the Savannah group for the great organisation.

Most professional travel agency in the area
KiliClimb Africa Safaris is owned, organised and executed by Tanzanians, no middle men, no travel agencies. It is 100% local, and quiet frankly when being on the mountain and seeing the other expeditions you see and feel the difference in quality and overall experience. Moses and his team are authentic, pure and it feels like you're out on a trip with a bunch a crazy-strong guys with some of the best dancing vibes (and skills) I've ever seen.
The most professional agency, no single thing I can say what was not good, I can also recommend them more than 100%
