Truly memorable safari with Sekanka
From the first booking request to our farewell Sekanka Travel were superb. We have been on Safaris before in Kenya and South Africa staying at lodges but a camping safari gives you the very best experience. The camping is comfortable and the sites we stayed at allowed us to be able to be right in the midst of the wild life with the noise of hippos happily wallowing in the river below at Kwai to wake to. Our Sekanka team lead by the fantastic Salani catered for our every need and ensured we saw leopards, lions,hippos,crocs, elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, antelopes, baboons and monkeys. Trips on the water in the Okavanga Delta added to the memorable experience. Too soon we had to say goodbye to our safari team and flown to Kasane for a stay by the Chobe river and next day on to Victoria Falls for more great experiences.

Best Safari Company in Tanzania
My biggest goal when choosing a company was to find someone who cares about the experience and would go above and beyond. Earnest was the right man for the job. I live in Tanzania and searched for a smaller company that could build a trip based on knowledge and experience working in the region where the safari would take place - not one of the big companies that doesn’t really know what’s up (aka Tanzania Specialist among others). Earnest worked with us to build the perfect itinerary at the price point we wanted. Him and our guide Jackson exceeded every expectation and delivered a truly memorable trip. The meals were 10/10, the lodges were 11/10, and our guide and the animal sightings were 100/10. Jackson could not have done a better job all around. He even went as far as ditching our itinerary to drive us far into the north serengeti so we could hopefully catch the wildebeest river crossing during their great migration (and we sure did catch it). Earnest and Jackson again went above and beyond during my twin and I’s birthday to arrange multiple cakes, songs, and dances with the lodges and make it an even more special day that it already was. Despite it being hard to choose who to safari with due to the # of companies, If there is one thing you takeaway from this review: DO NOT THINK TWICE WHEN CONSIDERING BOOKING WITH EARNEST, just book your trip, stop stressing out, let Earnest handle the rest and consider yourself lucky for finding such a great guy/company. 10/10 this company checks every box and I will be going with Earnest again.

Budget friendly experiences around Victoria Falls
This was the only budget friendly tour I can find online to Chobe.
The tour was great, the guides knowledgable, the lunch tasty and the communication was very good,
Initially, there was confusion as to where I'm staying as there are two hotels with same name in Zambia and Zimbabwe, so they were waiting for me in another country (literally). Once we figured out that was the case, they arranged someone to pick me up from the correct country/location. I did not miss anything.

Perfect Honeymoon in Tanzania
We had the Safari tour and Kilimanjaro hiking tour with Porcupine Expedition.
We were very nervous because we are very new in Africa and We are looking for the tour for our honeymoon before come to Tanzania.
But, We met Anna when we were in Tanzania, she gave us unforgettable memories.
In Serengeti National Park, We were in Group of 7, Our driver is very skilled Person over 10 years, he brought us to everywhere that animals was hiding in high rate. Especially, For the Lions, our driver is following his feeling to find them. we were worried that we couldn't meet any lions in the national park, but His feeling was worked every moments. we saw lots of lions because of him!
Furthermore, when we get some troubles, our driver was trying his best to solve it for us. we were very thanksful !
The only one thing what we were ashamed was that we couldn't meet any Rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater, but the scenery was fantastic!!
Next, In Killimanjaro National Park, We met 2 guides which name is Joshua and Msuya.
They were very kind and had plenty of knowledge about hiking Killimanjaro Summit.
They gave us enough time to adjust for high altitude mountain and cheer us up with the Songs by their own voices. it was really helpful to get to Summit.
For the food when we had in the tour was wonderful, especially Jjapati was the best one in our trip in Tanzania!
The day for the summit, we got high altitude sickness when we were hiking, it was really serious for us, but our guide gave us the GINGER TEA which make us calm and common.
We are sure that we couldn't get to the Summit without Ginger tea and our team.
I can't write everything down on this review, but they supported us for the only one goal which is getting the Summit.
you can go anywhere in Killimanjaro with them.
Thanks again, Joshua and Msuya, and Anna, We will miss you guys.

Great Experience- well organized
we just returned from our 12 day trip in Kenya, it was an amazing experience , we started in Nairobi and moved everyday or other day to a new destination, our trip ended in Diani beach where we spent two days enjoying the Indian ocean.
I have planned the trip with Isaac, who was super responsive and considerate of my requests, he met us on our arrival at the airport with our Guide Ngai.
Ngai was our guide , our driver and our friend for the 11 days we spent in Kenya, he was an amazing guide who went out of his way to make sure we complete our trip as planned . he was so accommodating specially with our young kids, he knew all the parks and all the spots where we can see the animals, we were lucky to see all the BIG 5, he was extremely organized and considerate . he explained everything ahead of time and was very punctual.
I highly recommend Ngai and Best Memory Safaris, they both made our trip successful and made us fall in love with Kenya.

unforgettable Safari
We had a wonderful time!!
We booked directly through Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris. Communication with Ushma was easy and straightforward. Our wishes were responded to immediately.
The safari was well organized from start to the end (incl. airport transfer and additional night in Arusha).
From our guide (Felix) we were able to learn a lot about nature and the animals. He is an open and funny guide. We immediately felt at ease! Felix has driving absolutely under control.
Our chef (Ashraf) spoiled us with the best food! We had received more than enough.
Thank you for this unforgettable safari!!
We can only recommend the provider. We will come back!

Reliable and Exceptional service from Salimu & his team at Safari Tours Africa. Highly Recommended!
Exceptional African Safari Experience (15 July to 26 July 2024)
We had an amazing safari experience in Tanzania, thanks to the exceptional service from Salimu and his team at Safari Tours Africa. Despite our short-notice request, Salimu, the owner, managed to help us arrange our itinerary according to our plans.
Salimu was incredibly reliable and responsive, addressing all our queries promptly and ensuring everything was perfectly arranged.
Ezekiel, our assigned guide during the safari, was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and terrain. His passion for the environment and keen eye for spotting animals made each game drive an exciting journey. He was also fun to be with, helpful in taking photos and videos, and a very good and careful driver.
We are also thankful to Salimu’s partner and friend, Suleiman, and his team for our tours in Zanzibar.
Overall, from the people and staff, accommodations, food, and activities, until we got home, we were very satisfied and happy with our Tanzania safari and beach experience.
We highly recommend Safari Tours Africa for a very memorable and exceptional safari experience.

Very professional and reliable！
Yvonne who contacted me was very nice. She responded to emails in a timely manner and was very polite and patient. The communication made me feel very comfortable. And she would follow up on our travel experience during the trip, and when we encountered unpleasantness at the hotel, Yvonne was very good at comforting and handling it, which is very important! It made our trip experience very good.
In addition, let me talk about our tour guide Mike. He is really professional. He can quickly capture animals with his eyes. Even when we need to use a telescope to look for a long time, he has already captured animals with his eyes. He took me and my friends to see some wonderful moments of the "animal world". Mike is very kind and lovely, very talkative and cheerful. We are very lucky to have Mike as our tour guide! After all, the tour guide accounts for at least half of the experience of a trip.
Moreover, during the trip, there were two rollover accidents, causing casualties. Both of them were caused by the driver driving too fast, which is really very sad news. Mike did a good job in this regard. His driving skills are very stable, never in a hurry, and safety first.
Thank you Yvonne and Mike for making me and my friends to have unforgettable and wonderful memories in Kenya. They are really reliable and trustworthy. Please don’t hesitate to choose them! The above comments are all compliments from the bottom of my heart！

Excellent
We booked a safari of several days with Angelo . Despite last minute changes and the delay of our plane that prevented us from doing the basic circuit, Angelo has found us other parks to do in order to live our dream until the end . We had a wonderful stay that could not have happened without him . We also thank Paul our French guide who was genial and very caring during our trip .
