Review about Namibia by Nicole
I was surprised to see as many animals as I did in such a desolate country. Although very dry, dusty, hot and barren in many places it had it's own beauty. The spectacular sand dunes were a unique experience in itself and it is also a destination that I would return to. The tribal people were beautiful, especially the Himba Tribes in their villages. That was one of the many highlights!

5 star service, best African travel agency
From the first enquiry Cuan and the African Ubuntu Safari team were absolutely wonderful.
We contacted Cuan to let him know my very new husband and I were coming to Africa for our honeymoon and he went over and beyond to assist us and ensure our honeymoon ran perfectly.
The trip was completely tailored and customised to suit our tight timelines, Cuan was very professional and quick to respond. All of his recommendations were spot on for what we wanted, and exceeded all expectations when we arrived.
We flew into Johannesberg and Cuan booked our flights to the Kruger. The lodge we stayed in which Cuan recommended and booked for us, Simbavati, was exceptional and by far the nicest accommodation we have ever stayed in which again completely blew us away. The staff at Simbavati were amazing and the game drives were exceptional. We saw leopards almost everyday for 5 days, beautiful Rhino's, giraffe, zebra, monkeys, buffalo, hippos and the list just goes on! Every drive was so different, and the Timbavati game park is so large and diverse. The park actually carries on to the Kruger as there are no fences between the reserves in this area. This means the animals can be harder to find at times, however knowing that the animals are not confined in small space makes the adventure all the more worthwhile.
Simbavati itself is so romantic and surreal, set on the hills of Timabavti. It is a beautiful part of the world, and we would recommend to all looking for a nice relaxing 5 star (though it seemed more like 7 star!) African getaway. Perfect recommendation.
After the Safari we flew to Cape Town and Cuan booked us into a beautiful hotel near the water, Portswood Hotel. It was absolutely perfect for our stay. The Cape Town Pennisular Tour was also another wonderful recommendation, we were able to see so much of the beautiful city and landscape surrounding.
Thank you Cuan and the African Ubuntu Safari team. We cannot thank you enough for making our honeymoon such a dream come true!

absolutely wonderful, helpful, clear communication, on budget and way beyond expectation!
We wanted to see South Africa at its best at a reasonable budget. Marianne was all we needed. She found us B&B's that were so much more special than any hotel can be. They were all clean, wonderfully located and with great hosts. Marianne advised us that we could better safe budget on accomodation around Capetown and use it for a bit more expensive safari, that was such a was a great idea, because we had an amazing safari as well as wonderful accomocations! If we ever have time to go to SA again we would immediately contact Marianne again!!

Great Family Trip to Tanzania!
The trip I took with my family (4 adults) in 2013 was amazing! It was extremely easy to plan with e-Trip Africa's help. They were very knowledgeable about everything to see and do in the great parks of Serengeti and beyond. We also went to Zanzibar, which was a great way to end our trip. We loved our driver-guide and all the hotels and lodges matched our preferences and needs. I would highly recommend a tent camp experience at least one night! The next time I want to book a Safari, I will happily choose e-Trip Africa again!

One day in Nakuru
Very flexible tour provider, cost efficient and able to shape a tour towards customer requirements. Very happy with the safari driver, really giving his best to spot the animals and very knowledgeable about wildlife. Clearly exceed expectation for a one day low budget safari trip.

8 days of Heaven !!!
We were in Uganda for 8 days and had booked Katona Tours to organize our trip. Jackie was fantastic !! She was very quick to respond to our our emails and answer any questions we may have had. She was excellent at suggesting time lines and was very flexible when we wanted to make changes. The price was very competitive. We booked all budget accommodations and they were perfect. We wanted something very rustic and close to nature and we got exactly what we wanted. The food was fantastic !!
Richard our driver was amazing. He was always on time and organized. He kept us on track and ensured we had an amazing experience. He had many suggestions for us and customized our trip to make sure we were well taken care of. He was a fantastic driver and we always felt very safe.
Overall I would highly recommend this tour company and we would definitely use them again

excellent customer service with great safari experience provided by the friendly staff
My boyfriend and I had a 5 day comfortable camping trip with kiliholidays. Since we started to contact them before arriving, the manager Mack responded all our questions and emails quickly. He is very hospital and friendly, one day before our flight, he event sent us a greeting email. It started our trip delightedly.
During the tour, he was always very caring and took into consideration of each of the customers'needs. The cook who was with us did a fantastic job too. He prepared food based on each person's preference, e.g a German girl who joined us was vegan, I can't eat bananas... The chef made specific dish for each of us during the tour. He really paid attention to it. I love all his soup, it was absolutely delicious. It is a great bonus to have delicious and nicely prepared food during a camping tour.
We also shared many good discussions with Mack, he is more like a friend sharing with us his stories running the safari business. He provided us a comfortable atmosphere to travel. We enjoyed it so much.
I would love to bring my parents here and experience safari with Kiliholidays.

Fantastic safari
My friend and I had a fantastic safari with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. We did a 6-day Safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
David and Salim picked up me at the bus terminal, and we had a great time together.
On Safari, we had an excellent driver/guide, Nova. He is a safe driver and an experienced guide. He knew a lot about the animals, and where to see different animals. He could see the animals from really far away even without binocular. We saw all big five, big migration of wildebeest and zebra, hippo, giraffe, and lots of other animals. Nova is very nice and friendly as well. We had many interesting conversations. The Safari was truly incredible and I would never forget!
I strongly recommend Kili Slope. And if I'm ever going to do a safari in Tanzania again (which is very likely!), I will definitely do it with Kili Slope Tours!
