Professional and hassle free with great service
Everything was organised well. The guide was a real charmer but very service minded. We enjoyed the lodges, that were basic but great. The tour operator could have been clear on what to pack as we went trekking in trainers (very wet). Brilliant country to visit!

Friendly, professional, efficient - an example to all safari operators!
The booking was handled incredibly efficiently. Allison replied to all our questions and altered/formulated our itinerary as often and as much as we needed. She was always quick to answer emails - even when I thought the office would be closed! She is a total and utter credit to your company... we stopped by on our last day in Windhoek to personally thank her for such a fantastic job. We couldn't have asked for a better helping hand in planning our self-drive trip and plan to use them again next time!

An amazing, once in a lifetime experience made easy by the fantastic organisation of E Trip Africa.
When we were organising the trip, E Trip Africa always responded quickly to our questions and requests for information. Travelling in 3rd world countries can be challenging but everything went incredibly smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The guides took care of everything, were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and in spite of it being the end of long season nothing seemed too much trouble. We learnt so much from them. Thank you Ali and Jeph.
All in all it was way better than we could ever have imagined. h

Perfect dramaturgy for climbing Mount Meru
Overall we where very happy with our tour. We had a great crew, we where very lucky with the weather – our expectations where entirely fulfilled. Only thing we missed a little bit was the communication with the guide.
We where very happy and satisfied with our cook, Joshua, he was excellent! We think, he even has the characteristics to be a good guide!
There is one more thing to mention – Africa and especially guided tours are very expensive. We dream to do other tours, like Kilimanjaro or Mount Kenya, but the prices prevent us from doing it at short term.
But we lost our hearts in Africa!!! As well thanks to this experience!
Our crew was: our porters Idrisa, Said, Mzee, Rajab, Samore, the kitchen-aid Stephano, our cook Joshua, our guide Hussein and provided from the park, our ranger Sunday = a dream-team!

Fantastic safari with the greatest guides :-)
An absolute perfect safari. Wild Planet Safari guided us through Kruger in an entirely exemplary manner. Perfect service, always with a smile, good food and 100% professinal at all time. No doubt that they possess a vast knowledge about the animals, Kruger park, the country and the environment. They guided us to all "the big 5"and many many more animal.......missed the cheetah!

wonderful 8-day-safari tour
summary:
-> exceeded all our expectations!
- Well-prepared Safari tour
- good cars and equipment
- excellent guide and chef, who really want to make the best of your trip
- good knowleadge of animals and landscape
We had a really wonderful safari tour with Shemeji. We did a 8-day tour from the end of September to October and visited the following National Parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha NP. On a additional day we went to the beautiful hot springs near Arusha and did a half day hiking tour to some nice waterfalls in the forest (also with shemeji).
The Safari in itself was well-prepared and good-equipped. We were really lucky with our perfect guide Freddy. He has a good sense to find hidden animals and was very good company for us. It was a perfect mix of staying in a "crowded area" to see some highlights very close and driving through remote area and spot cheetah, lion and elefant just on our one. These quiet moments were the best time on safari. Once we could spot a group of 15 elephants (with small children) for over 45 minutes on our one and Freddy did no pressure. In total we have seen so many animals and much closer than expected. Big herds of antelopes, buffalo, zebra, flamingos and also elefant, leopard, giraffe, hippo and many many lions........
We had a good mix of accommodation (tent, tended camp, lodge, hotel) and enjoyed most the camping in Serengeti and on the rim of Ngorongoro crater. Our chef Patrick was great and he cooked always a 3-course dinner for us. The dinner together with our guide Freddy was nice and we had good talks. We had also lovely snacks for lunch every day. We have seen big safari groups and they had just a prefabricated lunch box like on a airplane.
Organizing the tour with the company was easy going. Emma was very helpful and tried to include all our wishes. She is from Europe, but lives in Tanzania, therefore she knows the european demands and standards very well.

It was wonderful !!!!
I would like to thank the Red Africa company from the bottom of my heart for the organization and implementation a safari trip in Kruger Park!
This Safari trip transferred our dream into reality during all the time that we were there.
I chose Red Africa without prior recommendations, merely by looking for many options on the internet.
When I emailed them with questions, I received very detailed and satisfactory answers. Red Africa were very helpful in recommending the specific trip that would be the best fit for our group of people (we were 4).
On the first day, our guide, Jacob, came exactly on time and picked us up from the hotel in Johannesburg. We made our way to the safari in a comfortable van.
Jacob was with us all these 5 days, and was available for anything we needed 24 hours a day. Also, he was very knowledgeable of the animal life and vegetation in the park. He showed, described and gave us explanations about everything on a very high level.
Jacob works exclusively as a tour guide, both as a “day job” and a “night job” - he loves nature and is very knowledgeable about it. He also loves animals and the landscape around them.
Kruger Park is absolutely different from the place where we came, and Jacob helped us to understand its dynamics and charm.

Thank you Eastern Sun!
Thank you to Mercy, Richard and the team at Eastern Sun. Four of us took a tour of the Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro for seven days and six nights with Eastern Sun. They did a great job setting up the lodging and getting us to and from Arusha. Mercy is an honest broker and Richard is a capable tour director. Thanks again Eastern Sun!

A pleasure with Kenan Travel and Tours
We contacted Kenan Travel and Tours approximately 9 months in advance of our travel dates and requested a quote for a van and driver service for 9 days whilst we travelled to several parks in Kenya.A price was accepted and we made all other arrangements, accomadation and flights, as we had previously travelled in Kenya and felt confident in this format.The Company offered assistance with any queries and at all times responded quickly and was informative in our planning.
We were met at our Hotel in Nairobi at the agreed time and met our representitive from Kenan and our driver for the trip.All arrangements were in order and we travelled to Meru National Park where we spent 3 nights,at Ikweta Camp which is highly recomended.Game drives in Meru were excellent with the Kenan driver beiing very knowlegable and really acting in a guide capacity as well.We also travelled to Lake Nakaru and then on to Masai Mara staying 4 nights at Keekorok Lodge which we would also recommend.Game drives over 3 days proved excellent as we had good sightings of all the big cats plus a number of animals we had not sighted on our previous trip.Again our drivers knowledge was invaluable.
We have found Kenan Travel and Tours to deliver on their agreeemnt and we would highly recommend anyone travelling to this part of Africa to contact them and consider using their services.
