Good Budget Safari
Communication with company was very good prior to safari. They were quickly responsive to any question that we had. Upon arrival, pick-up at the airport was smooth and tour group was able to arrange for in-town transportation for us as we had a full day in Arusha before the start of our safari. The driver was professional and Footslopes arranged for a good price.
Footslopes walked us to an ATM machine and helped us pick out SIM cards and then properly load them on our phones. This was really appreciated.
The safari vehicle was nice and comfortable with a pop-top to be able to take good pictures of the animals.
The wildlife and bird watching was excellent in all of the parks we visited. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about animals and birds.
This is a budget safari and if you're not as worried about dining selections and hot water and more worried about animals and birding, then this is the safari for you.
We do recommend this tour but with the knowledge that it is a budget/value option.

It was great!
They were very thorough with everything, the guide was very knowledgeable and knew his stuff and made sure we were able to catch maximum sightings. They were very patient with us and made us feel very good.
The accommodation was very beautiful and comfortable. I specially liked the fact that they arranged for accommodation for us in Johannesburg, arranged for us to be picked up right from there and the drop-off at Johannesburg airport, from where we continued our journey to Cape Town.
Their representative was also very responsive and prompt with getting us proper documentation for obtaining our tourist visas.
I would highly recommend them. Great service at a great price.

Amazing.
It was the best vacation we have ever had as a family.
Our family loved every bit of it especially the trip to masai mara and getting close to the big five. That was a memorable experience and the staff of sun set safari were amazing and knowledgeable. They made our trip comfortable and i would highly recommend anyone who want to experience the best and comfortable safari to try them. Cant wait to come next year for more.

Great Customer Care!
I booked well in advance of my safari dates but on the day of it turned out I was being 'subcontracted' to another tour group. I was amazed at the constant contact Victor had with me and with the tour guide to ensure all my needs were met including a last minute change of National Parks! Victor ensured that my accommodations met all of my requirements and the cost was very reasonable compared to other companies. I would highly recommend Good Time Safari.

Outstanding Service
We booked our Victoria Falls, Chobe, Khwai Safari with the Safari Source. The Service was outstanding. Because they are Swiss/Austrian you can easy communicate with them in German. This was a big plus for us because we live in Switzerland and the payment could be made onto a Swiss Banking Account. The Safari Source has a very good Price Money Value. There was no Office in Switzerland or Germany that made us a better offer.
Everything on our Safari was planned very well. All the Transfers (Bus & Mack Air) worked as good as in Switzerland.
We were able to prebook a Sunset Cruise on the Sambezi as well as Heliflyiing in Vic Falls. So everything was payable in advance, even the transfers were prebooked to the boat and the heli, so you didn't even have to think about a taxi. It was just great! :-)
Everything was on time. Rosemary (one of their staff members) even checked on us in Victoria Falls, another travel Agent met us in Maun to ask how everything worked out.
Monika and Miriam helped us to get a tailor-made Safari trip, giving us very good Inputs and helping us to find lodges that fit our Needs the best. Miriam and Monika were just great- even with the distance it was no problem to call eachother with whatsapp call and plan our trip just the way we wanted it.
I will definitely recommend them to all my friends, who would like to go on a Safari and will book my next Adventure in Africa with them for sure.
A fantastic safari experience
I got a fantastic safari at African Sermon Safaris. It has been once in a lifetime opportunity, seeing incredible animals and staying in such picturesque places. Traversing through the countryside was really fun, the tented camps were really nice and game drive safaris were the most amazing. It was so startling to be surrounded by elephants in the Amboseli with Kilimanjaro in full view and buffalo at the Mara. Great food, an incredible tour guide full of experience and interesting information. It has been such a wonderful trip. Thanks again for the excellent service.

Thank you Matoke Tours for a great safari trip!
We were with a relatively big group of 9 people. Most of us have done already several safaris in countries like Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa and Botswana. Our main interest was going for a Gorilla tracking and Chimpanzee tracking but we wanted to have also different experiences and did not have much time.
Wim and Ilse understood our wishes quickly, were great, very helpful and informative in their communication and customized our itinerary perfectly. The accommodation were picked very well with nice food, the transport was timely and the different guides were very friendly but even more important very knowledgeable. We had different kinds of wildlife viewing like walking, driving and by boat. Even with abundant wildlife viewing from the pool with a cold glass of beer. :-)
Thank you very much, Wim, Ilse and the complete staff of Matoke Tours, we had an unforgettable trip and we recommend everybody who would like to visit amazingly beautiful en friendly Uganda to definitely go with Matoke Tours!!!

At first I did not want to risk. Just like any other person I wanted to see the credibility of these guys..The moment I decided to give them I shot I was glad I did..right from pick up Patrick was so kind and welcoming. I was ushered into a luxurious tour van which made my travel even better than I expected. The whole safari took 3 days 2nights..I got the chance to visit and masai mara. Thank You guys for making my holiday a success. Will surely recommend
