Frederik was highly professional, provided us amazing assistance during the trip.
We toured Cape Town, Kruger, Lower Zambezi and Botswana all in 15 days. The package that was put together for us allowed us to squeeze in alot of activities, whilst also giving us time to relax and soak up the local culture. The staff met us at every airport and ensured our transfers were simple and straightforward. This was great because we had not been to Africa before and it alleviated much of the stress that airports and transfers can cause.
We highly recommend Safari 365. Throughout the planning phase of the trip they were patient and highly informative.
Frederik was amazing when there was a last minute change to flight timings due to unpredictable weather. He organised different flights and accomodation to ensure we made our international flights home. He went above and beyond for us and i commend his professionalism and efficiency.
Thankyou, Frederik and Safari 365

4-Day Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Nairobi City Tour
The lodges were cozy, the food was delicious and the people were very friendly. I had
some good laughs with Stephen, Ann, Nathaly and Marion who has a brother in
Amsterdam. My guide Hildah and driver George were amazing—they shared so
much knowledge and made every moment unforgettable, from spotting cheetahs and
Lions having a kill in the Masai Mara to seeing rhinos up close at Ol Pejeta
Conservancy where I had the honour to touch Najin. She and her daughter Futa are
the two last living nothern white rhinos. I learned a lot from George about animals like
the difference between the different species of giraffes, elephants and antelopes. It
was interesting to listen to his stories. A great driver and teacher. I can’t recommend
them enough!
Thanks to Albert, Hidah, George from Tapestry of Africa Tours I had a magnificent
safari in Kenia.

Loved our Lifetime Experience Safari!
Jesse-Thomas and I were in touch for months to plan and adjust the ideal itinerary for my friend and I. Jesse was incredibly helpful and accommodated everything we wanted and removed things we didn't. We finally decided on an 8 night one way journey from Entebbe to Kigali visiting Murchison Falls, Kibale chimps, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi gorillas, Lake Bunyonyi, Volcanoes National Park and Kigali. Everything went well and the accommodation was all very nice. Highlights were Murchison Falls NP and Bwindi gorillas. Both just completely amazing experiences. My only advice would be to not try and jam too much into too short a space of time. We were very rushed for the first half of the trip and it became exhausting and we didn't have time to enjoy relaxing at our lovely lodges. Not to mention poor Gerard, our guide, who had to drive the whole thing.
Special mention to Gerard who was a wonderful guide, very safe driver and all round great human. We learned so much from him not just about the animals and sights but about history, politics and culture. He really is a knowledgeable and lovely man and he made sure we got to do everything in the time we had.
There were no major hiccups on our journey.
One thing was that when we were there in July, at bunyonyi and volcanoes it was very hazy. We were not able to enjoy any viewpoints. Worth investing if that's normal at that time of year, maybe go another time or just skip those places if you aren't particularly interested.
The gorillas and chimps tracking is worth the expense despite the hefty price tags. Once in a lifetime stuff and we got very close to these animals. It was better than we even imagined.
Murchison Falls themselves were breathtaking. I've been to all the major falls of the world but these ones are just incredible because you get up so close to the sheer power of the falls and there's almost no fencing and no crowds. So it's a really close with nature experience that you can't get in a lot of places these days. Not to mention the Nile River cruise and the land safaris in some beautifully green landscapes.
Don't hesitate, get onto Jesse now!

A trip of a lifetime!
If you haven’t been on a safari trip yet, this is a must-do, and the African Big Cats Safaris are the best in the business. They have the best guides and the best lodges and hotels, and pay attention to every detail. Their schedule is the best. Emanuel, the manager, gave us briefings and also got to meet us at the airport for feedback. A very genuine business owner who is keen on customer satisfaction, not driven by profit. Our guide, Khalid, was the best. He is super knowledgeable and has a magical way of finding every lion that can be found. We saw over a dozen lions, a couple of leopards,cheetahs, rhinos, buffaloes, and hundreds of every other animal. Khalid was truly a highlight with his deep knowledge and politeness.
Don’t waste time looking. African Big Cats Safaris won’t disappoint.

Very friendly, very responsive, and very kind organizers ... You feel like home!
Over christmas holidays, I went with my siblings to Tanzania. We booked the 6-day Safari with Serengeti Landmark Tours. From the beginning, Raymond was very responsive and accommodating. Due to our travel plans we had to move around things a couple of times. Raymond responded to all our requests immediately and did his best to fulfill our wishes. We even got some time to spend with him and had some great conversations. He took care of our stay in Arusha when our stay was extended beyond six days.
About the Safari, what can I say, it was a great experience. With Morgan, our guide, it felt like he was our friend. Very comfortable from the get-go. We also did a tour to the Materuni falls. Jackson, who drove us there, was just ... amazing <3. We learned so many things from him, and he made sure we get to see Mt. Kilimanjaro (she is hidden with clouds often :) ). We are looking forward to Jackson becoming a Serengeti guide soon :) Our guide in Materuni falls, Willfried, was also beyond this world, literally. Very spiritual. Through him, we got to connect on a higher level to the area.
I would definitely recommend everyone to meet these amazing people and let them show you their amazing land!

Perfect Safari with good Hotels and a great Guide
We booked a 6 day safari with Serengeti Smiles and it was absolutely stunning. We saw the Big5 and many other animals of Serengeti’s Wildlife. The nature is absolutely beautiful and the people in Tansania are very friendly.
Our driver Justine has an excellent general education and knows a lot about his home country, nature and animals. He was able to answer every of our questions.
We would strongly recommend Serengeti Smiles and especially our Guide Justine. We had a great time!

Great attentive tour operator, and a great overall experience
Great process throughout with Hope as out main contact. Everything went smoothly from pickup at hotel in Zanzibar, via flight to Arusha and meals and fantastic safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Food and lodge was also above expectations.
