Fascinating, addictive and wondrous way to see animals in their natural habitat. Loved it!
We booked online and the representative dealing with us was incredibly helpful and patient, changing things even at the last minute when we asked her to! The arrangements were simple, accommodation fine, food offered by the camp delicious. Our guide adored his job and knew exactly where to go. We saw the Big Five and all sorts of other animals and birds as well. It was fabulous. Can't recommend the staff highly enough for friendliness and support and we felt the whole trip was pure magic.

Definitely recommendable
First experience with Safari Specialists and definitely not the last. We can only say: go for it, those guys know what they are talking about. Our contact was Joanne, who was very friendly, efficient and professional.She's very quick in answering emails and was also very helpful when we had to choose the different lodges ( we specifically asked for areas with lots of predators ). We were thrilled about our 7 nights trip to the delta, our highlight being Chitabe Lediba for it's wildlife, well appointed tents and relaxed atmosphere. Flights in between camps were very well organized too.All in all very positive!

Magical African adventures
I can't rate PaperJet highly enough. As first time visitors to South Africa they expertly crafted the perfect Safari trip. From the lodge recommendation to the travel arrangements - everything was made so easy and they made our budget work hard for us. We stayed at the Arathusa Lodge in Sabi Sands and it was excellent. Multiple Big Five sightings, great food and the lodge overlooked a large waterhole so we were often surrounded by animals.The real thing that make then stand out is the customer service. From Gabi on the social team offering tips for where to eat in Cape Town to Justin our holiday 'curator' who made booking the holiday a breeze and even personally stopped by our hotel in Cape Town to drop off our Safari travel goody bag. Next time I book an African adventure there is no doubt who I'll go with - they rock!

Sublime richness of the Okavango Delta... with a little bit of rain thrown in...!
Its been a good year since we travelled to Botswana, but in our quieter moments we remember it as one of the most exciting times of our lives.
There's really not much more to add other than if you are thinking of going on safari then Botswana rocks!
One tip is that November is a great time to visit, as Safari Lifestyles did advise... the costs are way less... the little buzz planes they use to get to camp are interesting and quite expensive but the camps are much less expensive than earlier in the year.
Thank you Safari Lifestyles... not a single regret and many memories.

A trip to wash our eyes
A marvelous experience made unforgettable by wonderful traveling companions: Thomas (our Italian guide and skilled connoisseur of the "Milanese dialect"), Amos (the perfect driver) and Moses (almost starred chef).
A perfectly organized Safari and so many emotions to remember.
Thanks

Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara
We had a wonderful safari with a professional driver. The driver was amazing and could
spot animals from a mile away. The service provided by Tropical Valley Safari was really
good. The accommodation, food , etc. was all excellence. When we came back from safari
Tom waited for us to hear our experience. Wonderful service.

Experience of a lifetime!
My wife and I had never been to Africa before, but had been wanting to visit for quite some time. In our search we came across Tanzania Explorer who states in their slogan; "We show you Africa". They did just that- and then some!! We could not have been more happy with our choice! We came in contact with Sondre and his team who bespoked a trip which were just perfect for us as first time visitors. We were given all necessary travel information before departure, and everything were planned in detail before setting off. During our trip we stayed at 4 different locations and had 3 domestic flights. All the places we stayed at was just perfect, we were picked up and dropped off at scheduled times and everything was executed as planned - in detail. Specializing in bespoke travels, they really put together Africa like we wanted to explore it!Tanzania Explorer exceeded our expectations and we can highly recommend travelling with them. We definately will!

Safari to Lion Sands
The trip was perfect. We saw lots of game and the lodge was top notch. Service levels and attention to detail were exceptional. Highly recommend both the tour company and lodge.

The Mara Magic
Johni Called us the night before to reiterate on what we were to pack for the actual D-day. Indeed my children and sweet wife were already excited having planned it for almost a week when ACZ had confirmed our safaris. It was needed of us to pack warm clothing for Royc 4, and Lisa 2 especially for the night outs.
We woke up at 9.00am to the hooting of big trucks along Mai Mahiu obviously from the early out from our house at Ngumba Estate. ACZ had surprise Java Coffe pack breakfast and more warm packets of milk for the boy and the girl. How they did it, i cant tell, only that their service by then i could tell it was perfect. Indeed throughout the journey ACZ performed and lived to expectations. The prices were well thought out. I would recommend any one interested and i have always done so. Big up ACZ!
