Outstanding service in planning and delivering a once-in-a-lifetime trip, far exceeding expectations
From the very earliest planning of our trip to Tanzania the team at AAA were there to help and guide us in planning our first safari to guarantee we got the most from the experience. The trip to Lake Manyara, The Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater was truly amazing enhanced by our excellent guide 'Karachi', who's passion for the wildlife and terrain further enhanced our experience (we caught him with his camera out on a few occasions) a softly spoken and thoroughly professional companion, ask for 'Karachi' he's a legend. I cannot thank AAA and Jalala's team enough. Tanzanian is amazing, seeing the big 5 and the sleeping on the Serengeti are experiences that will live me forever. The whole trip was magical, comfortable and well planned (don't miss sun downers at the Rhino lodge- Perfect) Thank you AAA.

An excellent experience
We had a fantastic few days with Dio as our driver and Peter as our cook. We had so many great sightings. Dio answered all our questions and gave us lots of information while Peter kept us well fed. We had a great atmosphere throughout the trip was and would highly recommend.

Amazing Kruger Trip!!
Our Kruger trip with Wildlife Safaris was absolutely amazing! We did the Kruger tour with the panorama route and it was breath-taking. Our tour guide, Clive, was just amazing. His mission was for us to see the Big 5 and we were not disappointed! We had lions, leopards, elephants and so many more amazing animals right by our vehicle and Clive was so informative with all our questions. We had an amazing time and cannot wait to come back!

Holiday of a lifetime!
I have just got back from a week Safari with our amazing guide Naiman. The trip was absolutely amazing and will last me with memories for a lifetime! Naiman was so accommodating and had such an incredible expertise and knowledge not only of all the animals but of every possible question we had!
Thank you all for an amazing holiday!

An unforgettable Honeymoon
I can not thank The Luxury Safari Company enough for arranging the best honeymoon we could ever ask for! We started our trip in Cape Town/Franschhoek, staying at an absolutely beautiful b&b - La Petite Dauphine. This (and the surrounding area) is stunning and the food (!!!) just incredible. Rose had amazing knowledge of where to stay and where to eat. She even pre-booked our meals and gave "spot on" directions.
We then travelled to Madikwe Hills Game Lodge in the north of SA - again all arranged by The luxury Safari Company. And again, all directions were easy to follow and completely hassle free. This safari experience was the most incredible place Neil and I had ever been... The lodge was absolutely beautiful. Out suite was spacious, with private plunge pool and two bathrooms!! One of which was outside over looking a watering hole. Being able to relax in the bath whilst watching a herd of elephants troop past was an experience I will never forget!
All in all we couldn't of asked for a better holiday. Thank you Rose and your team for all your hard work in making this a truly unforgettable honeymoon!
Marvellous introduction to Uganda
My family and I have just returned from a two week trip round southwestern Uganda (Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Lake Mburo). Matoke proved to be brilliant at organising all aspects of this and were extremely quick in responding to requests for information, as well as very helpful in suggesting alternatives to our initial plans. Our driver/guide, Abdal, was a fount of knowledge, a superb driver and a real pleasure to be with for the whole of the trip. We have come back keen to visit other parts of Uganda in the future and would definitely go to Matoke again.

The experience of a lifetime!
We had the time of our life on safari with Earthlife Expeditions! We couldn't be happier with our experience.
Accommodations, food and transportation were all great, safety was a priority and communication was always immediate and very clear. But most importantly, this company offered us many many magic moments in one of the most beautiful countries on Earth!
Deo, the owner, organised the perfect trip, listening carefully to what we were looking for and suggesting tons of amazing places to visit.
Our guide, Moison, was eagle-eyed when it came to spot animals, and could always answer in great detail to all our questions about wildlife, culture and tradition. He could even remember the name of each animal and bird in four or five different languages!
We managed to see the Big Five within our first 24h inside the Serengeti, so we spent the rest of our time looking for little "treats" like a lioness with very young cubs, or elephants bathing and scratching on their favorite tree, or rare birds.
All the game drives, experiences and walks included in our tour were amazing to say the least, and we are already planning to go back because there's too much to see in Tanzania to fit in one trip! :)

Personal, prompt service.
From the initial enquiry right through to a question during our stay, Rose was at the end of the ether replying within minutes. She listened to what we wanted and put together an appropriate itinerary, tweaking it to make sure that all camps we stayed at were going to be totally happy with an anaphylactic client... Which they were. Our dietary needs (GF and nut free) were really well catered for and my daughter, especially, felt very safe. The camps and hotels (Kigelia at Ruaha; Emerson Spice in Stone Town; Matamwe in Zanzibar; and Sand Rivers in Selous) were fantastic, exactly as they were described on paper, and all transfers worked seamlessly. Wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.

Personal day tour in Kigali
Booked a day tour with the company at short notice and didn't really have a clear idea what to visit. The owner, Reginal, was brilliant, he came up with suggestions and we quickly agreed a package of visits in his air conditioned car with collection and return to my hotel.
The day was a great success and we crammed an excellent itinerary into 6 hours including the genocide memorial site (a must do), past president's palace, wonderful huge local market packed with very friendly and welcoming store keepers, good lunch stop, best coffee shop in the city and brief visit to the natural history museum. The tour was excellent value, Reginal was very attentive, nothing was too much trouble and he made this Rwanda experience truly memorable. Well done.

Brilliant experience, lovely staff, all perfect - please book with them too!
Had a lovely driver called Dao - very kind guy, excellent driver for our safari trips! All accommodation was as expected for a budget tour; very clean, good food, friendly staff. A stay at Entisi in Lake Bunyonyi is a must!! The tour was expertly organised with one activity after another - never a dull moment! Well worth every penny as this tour company is small with a friendly approach. We were very well looked after and free for stops anytime during the long journeys - a major advantage of private travel versus pupils matatus! Please book with Gatatu Safaris, you will have an excellent trip!
