Incredible once in a lifetime experience
I enquired about this 9-day-tour on a short term notice, just one week before it started, and the detailed offer came instantly and well prepared, so I booked. And everything worked out to my absolute satisfaction, starting with the airport pick-up and transfer to the first lodge, and then all the way to the last day.
I was stunned to find out that I was the only guest, and instead of cancelling the tour, Xaa Safaris realized the trip just with me! So I found myself with a safari car, a driver/ranger, 3 wonderful camp hands - one of them a chef, who each day miraculously produced the most wonderful food in the midst of the bush - and a local guide in the Okavango-Delta for spectacular walking safaris. Wherever we arrived, the tents (with open-air shower and toilet), the kitchen and the eating canopy were put up in no time, while I was taken on a sunset-safari-drive. When we returned, the fire in the middle of the camp was burning, tea and dinner was ready and we had the most wonderful chats together.
Each day began with an overwhelming sunrise drive at around 6am, which was followed by a rich breakfast/lunch and a siesta during the hot hours, and ended with a sunset-safari at around 4pm, when most animals are out from their hiding spots. And not to forget the tasty dinners at nightfall. The driver was an experienced track reader and had no problems to find ALL the animals, even twice a leopard absolutely close to us. My emotions soared into the sky.
Spending 6 nights (2 nights per park) in tents in the bush, with a giraffe feeding nearby and being surrounded with all the sounds of night animals is so different to staying in a lodge, if you are the adventurous character. I can honestly say that not 1 second did I feel endangered, because I was in such competent hands, who, for example, surrounded the camp each night with a circle of candles.
Driving on sandy roads for the transfer from one park to the other was the most strenuous part and is not recommended if you suffer from car sickness. But this is what Botswanan road are - nature tracks and you might encounter elephant crossings more than once. It was a fantastic journey I will not forget all my life - thank you so much, Xaa Safaris, I am very grateful!

Trustable and organized
Our trip was 12 days: divided into 8 days Safari and 4 days at the beach. Dennis, was our travel consultant, he organized every single detail for us and he was very available to adjust the plans according to our wishes.
The lovely Simon picked us up from the airport and he immediately let us feel welcomed.
Augustine was our driver and guide for the majority of the trip. He is a very skilled and experienced driver, a prepared guide and an amazing person. He shared with us all his knowledge about animals, nature, culture and traditions during our game drives and the long transfer rides and we couldn't have wished for a better guide. He has an amazing eye and energy and we got to see all the big five multiple times.
The accommodations chosen during the safari were in perfect location: inside the parks or near the gate. Hopefully, we will come back in the near future!

Excellent service
We booked a 4 day safari and it was the highlight of our trip to Tanzania. The safari was really well organised, fantastic guides and great food. We felt well looked after the whole time. I would recommend intimacy adventure to anyone wanting to go on safari in Tanzania.

Professional, organised and a pleasure to deal with - highly recommend.
Joseph from Intimacy Adventure was great to deal with from start to finish and made the whole experience seamless. We were sent a very clear, professional looking itinerary that sold us on the trip and lived up to the hype.in reality too. Joseph was very, very responsive at all times and flexible to all our needs.
The safari's themselves were also superb, the guides went to great effort to make sure we had the best possible experience. I give particular credit to one of our guides, Malisa, who made our tour of Tanagire particularly special with his passion and personality, and going the extra mile to get us to all the best experiences.
Our guide for the waterfalls trip, Mussa, was also exceptional. He provided an inspiring warmth in his personality, made sure we were always smiling and comfortable, and I know that one day he will make an exceptional safari guide!
Thank you Intimacy Adventure from Sebastian and Lauren!

Best safari
Our 4 day Masai Mara Safari was perfect! We were also in Naivasha and Nakuru. 3 so different but all amazing places. Both accomodations on our Safari were great, camping had really good food. All the staff was very kind and helpful. Our driver Jim knows the best spots and he was really trying hard to see as much as we can. With him was also guy on induction, he was very friendly and all of the time with us.

Excellent Operator, very professional and delivering quality results
Business owner Michael was very transparent and efficient, from the first quote to taxi pick-ups, to knowledgeable guides, all the way to the end of the safari. Communication was clear and exact, follow ups and responses were swift and precise.
After a short flight from Zanzibar, we were greeted with a smile by Isaac, our Masai guide, and Mustafa, our driver. Mustafa drove us deeply into the park while Isaacs explained about flora and fauna, answering all questions, and providing deep insights on animal habits and curiosities.
We saw lions, giraffes, gnu, zebras, monkeys, elephants, different species of antelopes. One of the highlights: watching hippos chilling in a lake with crocodiles next to them, watching nervous zebras drinking nearby.
Back to the airplane, we received a bottle of a lovely wine as a parting gift.
A wonderful day provided by a 5 stars tour operator. Thank you guys!

Vision Safari & Tours offers personalized, well-organized safaris with excellent service.
Recently, I went on a six-day safari with Vision Safari & Tours, and I was thoroughly impressed with the level of organization and customer care. From the very beginning, the team was highly attentive to my preferences and adjusted the itinerary multiple times to make it perfect for me. Everything was included — from airport transfers and safari transportation to accommodation, meals, and all activities.
Special thanks to our driver, Francis. With his 20 years of safari experience, our trip was truly enriching and exciting. Thanks to his professionalism and patience, we saw a wide variety of animals and managed to take stunning photos and videos.
Over six days, we visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Serval Sanctuary, and Chemka Hot Springs. Among the main animals we were lucky to see were lions, leopards, cheetahs, many giraffes, elephants, zebras, hippos, buffalo, antelopes, chimpanzees, and many others.
Everything was top-notch, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Vision Safari & Tours for an unforgettable trip!

I had the best guides you could hope for - helpful, great knowledge and a love of wildlife.
Armaye and Kumfir did everything to make my tour a wonderful and memorable experience and they succeeded. There was a lot of travelling involved and the standard of driving and care was exceptional. They realised that the most important thing for me was seeing the wildlife and they made sure we saw all that we could - they loved the animals too so I felt part of a team looking for all that we could find. The communication and information provided before the tour was really useful and there were no hidden extras. I recommend Armaye and his colleagues to anyone who wants to come to Ethiopia - the wildlife is rapidly disappearing so come for a trip to Ethiopia with Armaye while it is still there.
