The most kindhearted tour group you'll ever come across!
My friends and I are arrived in Arusha separately so it's safe to say that we were all quite nervous as it was our first time in Africa. Thankfully I had emailed and organised an airport pick up through Serengeti Wakanda prior to my arrival so it was a relief when I saw Bartho waiting outside the airport with my name on a sign, especially as I did not have any data!
Bartho was very friendly and the drive into Arusha was easy and relaxing. I waited for my friends to arrive later in the night before we discussed organising a safari tour. I never felt any pressure or obligation to book with Serengeti Wakanda. However, the choice was easy as both Bartho and his business partner and friend, Carlson were so friendly and sincere.
The camping safari itself was absolutely incredible!!! One morning whilst having breakfast, an elephant walked into camp and stood taller than our jeep! The afternoon before that, zebras ran past as we set up camp! It's something I won't ever forget!
Our driver was knowledgable and respectful of the animals. Our chef cooked the best meals and was so lovely with the whole group.
The tour was well organised and unforgettable! Bartho and Carlson went beyond allowing us to borrow their binoculars and even a cork opener as my friends and I forgot to take one with us! They seem like small gestures, however it means a lot especially as some other tour groups may charge for you to borrow their binoculars, for example. Their generosity and warmth did not stop once the safari tour ended. Upon returning to Arusha, they took us out to experience the local food and market without ever expecting anything in return. I have never come across a tour group or agency with such sincerity or kindness in my travels and cannot recommend Serengeti Wakanda highly enough!

An adventure to remember!
We had an amazing Safari trip! everything was perfect and interesting. Our guide was very professional person, his driving and he knows Selous Park very well, we didn't miss any animal! the Lodge where we been accommodate has exceed our expectations; it's very clean, and the staff are friendly and very polite, food, service and everything was more than good.
For making good memories, enjoying the real Safari and experience the wildlife, I highly recommended the three days/two nights Safari to Selous with Migration Venture Africa.

The garden eden in a role model country
Chobe is one of the top destinations for safari in Botswana. You have plenty of different wildlife species. I really enjoyed the enormous number of elephants and also the lion population. The accomodation are not cheap, but with the high rates Botswana als protects the area against mass tourism. Only around Kasane it is very busy.

Review about Botswana by Mathias
For safari (guided or self drive) it is really perfect! It is a very safe destination to travel. The focus lies on wildlife, wildlife, wildlife!

perfect safari with the best service
We booked 5days private safari and everything was even better than we expected. Our guide/driver Charles took care of us so we did not have to anything but watch the animals, eat and sleep.-)) And he told us so much about the animals and looked for the sprecies we wanted to see until he found them. It way simlpy great. The only cats was to synchronize our time with Charles´´:-)) It seems we were on the interntaional and he was on the african time as we all called it laughing - alway 15 minutes late. But after a couple days we all got to the african time:-D

It was an unique experience.
I loved everything
South Africa is one of these countries that pleases everyone. The mix of nature, beaches and wild animals thought me a lot about the country.
Simply unforgettable.

Amazing holiday. Very happy we used them
We used Bright African Safaris for our 6 day safari trip+ 3 day beach resort at Zanzibar. Salim was our tour guide driver for the safari and it definitely felt like we got one of the best. We found out he has been doing this for over 13 years.
Amazing knowledgeable guide and I have no idea how he spotted all those animals without binoculars! Salim was friendly, courteous and ensuring we were comfortable throughout the journey.
What I liked most was their passion for what they do. Their genuine care for animals, and the environment was evident. They are one of the very few companies applying sustainable means of food packaging for lunches as well. Other operators use disposable boxes but this operator uses metal containers that they thoroughly clean and provide for each group of customers. I applaud the initiative.
Organising the trip was easy through their office as well and all the lodges were amazing. We are very impressed with the hospitality we have received and will be recommending to our friends as well.

Efficient, organized and honest
Me and my husband booked a Mikumi National Park 2 days, 1 night trip
What I liked about it :
The owner are really organized, helpful and honest, easy to deal with and to do things easily and effectively, I was happy dealing with Sylvia she is smart, very helpful and active
The hotel we spend the night in was very good and the dinner was delicious
What I didn’t like :
We had a very rough start, we supposed to start our trip 6:30
But there was a 1 hour delay, cause Henry the guide who supposed to pick us had a problem in his car so we waited for another guide
Also there was another delay in the way to the park, it supposed to be a 6 to 7 hour trip but it took way more than that we arrived 3:00 pm and we entered the park 3:30
Also we didn’t see the big cat ( the lion)
We should have went to Serengeti National Park instead so my advice if you can afford it go to Serengeti instead of Mikumi
