Great humor and sense of adventure
Me and my friend Alessandro started the safari on 2nd of September with our guide Omar, immediately we could notice in him a great sense of humor.
Omar is an exceptional spotter and has a big knowledge of the serengheti park, thanks to him we saw all the big fives and the ugly fives. He is a man of great and many surprises, but I don’t want to spoil them.
His driving skills got us to see the wilderbeast crossing on time, got us where we wanted in a small time and always found the right spot to take pictures.
His knowledge isn’t only about the roads in the parks, but also he remembers every single fun fact about the animals (how much they weigh, they routine, they skills and much more). I’m sure if you ask him anything about an animal he is gonna have an answer. E

Knowledgeable, flexible and attentive
thank you to soul of Tanzania (Hugo) for helping organize our fantastic Tanzania journey! You were awesome to work with and designed an outstanding trip for us. Thanks a million! Great recommendations, knowledge, itinerary and attention to detail. Always answering emails promptly.
The three of us had a wonderful, unforgetable time and thanks to our fabulous guide, Emmanuel, we saw everything we hoped to see and much more.
Emmanuel was the best guide: always happily explaining each park and the areas in between, answering all our questions and going above and beyond by anticipating our wishes finding out where to see the best sightings each day. He is truly a most valued asset and ambassador for your company and Tanzania.

Excellent Safari with Omer
We had a fantastic time with Omery as our guide on our Safari, his knowledge of the area is amazing. Omer managed to find us the best spots for viewing and explained the animals and habitat around us. He is an excellent driver, putting an great route together that meant we saw so much wildlife.David, our Chef prepared some great meals. I'd certainly recommend this tour company but more importantly make sure you have Omer as your guide.

5 days of bliss in Tanzanian African parks
Francesca and I went on a 5 day joining safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and ngoro ngoro national park. The beauty of all three parks are astonishing and I can't thank enough our guide and driver Omar for taking us around, fulfilling all of our wishes, showing us the wonders of Africa! We've been able to see lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos and many more (all the big five and ugly five for sure) and we've been given so many useful and interesting infos about the animals the nature and the history of Tanzania. Camping accomodation was a bit rough but made us feel completely immersed in the nature m and food was great! 10/10 would do it again! Thank you again Omar!

Amazing safari with Omari
We had an amazing experience. Our guide, Omari, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and did an excellent job in finding all of the ‘big 5’ and many others. Would definitely recommend

Great experience
We came into contact with Leonard and his team through a contract person from Belgium.
The communication and preparation went well, we discussed our wishes and Leonard incorporated them into our unforgettable journey.
The moment of arrival in Tanzania the guide was ready, the accommodations were well taken care of and the guides are well informed and can tell a lot and know the beautiful places.
Thank you, we will definitely recommend you

The most amazing safari guide - MUST BOOK
We were a group of 9 family and friends spending 4 days in Skukuza and 3 in Olifants Camp. We were absolutely thrilled by this safari - in large parts as a result of our amazing guide: Shoes Mathebula is the best!
Every step of the trip was perfect:
1. Planning: absolute professional, very responsive to emails and helpful when we booked him with easy and safe international payment options.
2. Flexible pickups at Skukuza Airport to transfer to Skukuza Camp (our group came in on 2 different flights).
3. And of course: the game drives! We saw more wildlife than in our wildest dreams. We also gained many fascinating insights. This was in no small part due to Shoes' expertise, easy going personality, dedication, knowledge, flexibility and enthusiasm to make us happy and show off 'his' Krueger Park. Tracking lions hunting, figuring out where they are by triangulating the direction monkeys in trees are looking towards, observing tracks on the road, ... Shoes added so much to these game drives - careful observations, interpretation of the signs, the patients, the excitement, the action. He is very knowledgable and informative and spots every animal, all while driving very safely.
One last comment: if you are contemplating the self-driving option you need to realize that the elevated view from the safari vehicle in combination with Shoes' expertise and explanations makes for a completely different safari experience. I would definitely opt for the latter and can enthusiastically recommend Shoes Mathebula, the owner of Khalanga Safaris.

They are very friendly and good professionals!
We arrived a bit late in our hotel in Maun and we were not hoping to be able to organize anything for the day, because most of the most of the mokoro tours were already started. Luckily the staff from our hotel offered to contact Gee and he was kind enough to pick us up asap and he drove us to the mokoro station. There we met Top Gun, our poler, who is a very interesting guy, very talented in telling stories and many more but he's mostly focused on the delta, it's wild life and preservation. He has a lot of knowledge about wild animals, birds and plants from the area and it was a pleasure having him as our guide, in our one day, mokoro trip. Really nice guys, thank you!

Dedicated, available and excellent!
We (my wife and 5 year old) went on a 3 day safari to Mikumi National Park with Promised Land Tours, and they were a pleasure to deal with throughout the process.
Mary went above and beyond in accomodating our needs before and during our trip.
Everything was fantastic, and we can't wait to book our next Safari to the Serengeti with them!
