Perfect organization, adapted to what we looked for.
We hand our ideas, but no experience with a safari in Afrika. They helped us to choose and adapt the safari to our interest and to the amount we wanted to spent. The choose lodges surprised us, everything great. The driver was very nice, he knew great spots to see the animals and gave us a lot of time for that and also for resting. I am very happy to have choosen a company directly in Africa for the service. Thank you for this great experience.

An exceptional bespoke safari organised by Land and Lake Safaris
I recently completed a 9-day bespoke safari of southern Malawi, organised and run by Land & Lake Safaris (LLS). It was excellent and met all of my expectations. Starting from Lilongwe, I visited Blantyre (The Leslie), Majete Wildlife Reserve (Thawale Lodge), Zomba Plateau (Zomba Forest Lodge), Liwonde National Park (Mvuu Lodge) and Dzalanyama Forest (Dzalanyama Forest Lodge) before returning to Lilongwe (Kumbali Country Lodge). All the places that I stayed at were very good but I would make special mention of Zomba Forest Lodge and Mvuu Lodge which were truly outstanding.
My particular thanks go to two members of the LLS staff for their massive contributions to the enjoyment of my safari. Firstly, Reservations Consultant, Denzel Banda, produced the initial itinerary and then worked patiently with me over several iterations to bring the schedule in line with my preferences. It was Denzel who booked all of the accommodation and ensured that the safari ran smoothly. Secondly, Jim Katengu was my guide for the whole of the safari and could not have been a more knowledgeable and entertaining companion. He was a brilliant guide, an exceptionally safe driver and willingly shared his great knowledge of Malawi’s wildlife, ecology, people, geography, history and culture. He is also one of Malawi's top birders, as he ably demonstrated during our two walks in Dzalanyama Forest.
My sincere thanks go to Land & Lake Safaris in general and to Denzel and Jim in particular. Hopefully, I will revisit Malawi and use LLS again in the foreseeable future.

Unforgettable Adventure Experience ... Totally worth it !
We recently had an incredible experience at Moria Safari. We saw all kinds of wildlife, including the Big Five, which made the trip truly unforgettable. The food was amazing, with Victor the chef accompanying us throughout, ensuring every meal was delicious. Our tour guide / driver Jackson went out of his way to ensure we were happy and comfortable. Overall, it was a perfect blend of adventure, great service, and beautiful scenery. We highly recommend Moria Safari ! Josua the dedicated organiser speaks fluent English and goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Great value for an unforgettable Adventure. Thank you so much 🙏

The best all around experience!
Great service all around! They picked us up from the airport and took us right to our hotel in Arusha.
On the safari, our guide, Rocky, was the man! Very friendly, super cool, and we learned a lot from him! He was a great driver, and was not afraid to move the Land Cruiser to help us get the best shot of the animals. He also knew exactly where to find all the animals we wanted to see!
I was also really impressed with the food they served us! Every meal was gourmet and delicious! Even lunches, were a fully stocked picnic where most other companies give you just a box lunch.
This was the best experience all around!

Rocky is the best tour guide, informative, smart, passionate, funny, attentive and very capable.
Great price and affordable! Camping was much better than I expected and could shower every day. Felt safe. Food was so good. The animal siting was crazy cool and bucket list. This is the first part of the honeymoon!

Liars and thieves
Like other reviewers we booked for safari in 2022, eventually paid in full as requested but got nothing in return except lies from Dirk and his bunch of thieves.

Amazing safari trip to Botswana and Victoria Falls
I did the 7-day Botswana trip from Victoria Falls along with my girlfriend and her sister, with Tafara as our guide. I genuinely believe that this was one of the best experiences of my life. Tafara was kind, knowledgeable, and very helpful. He made sure that the time we had was spent well. He also accommodated small requests that we had, and even took us to some interesting places in Victoria Falls that were not officially in the itinerary. The activities themselves were also great and well planned, we were lucky to see many animals during the game drives. The camping and Mokoro ride in the Okavango Delta was definitely the highlight of the trip, the local guides were very friendly and made the experience unforgettable. Also a special thanks to Archie for his behind the scenes work, smooth communication and quick response to questions.

The Best - Carol and Lucci
What can I say about the best company and staff other than we had the best service from (holding my hand) making reservations to transporting 6 ladies from airport to hotel to gorilla/monkey sites to shopping and back to the airport.
Carol and Lucci, thank you for making our visit memorable and for becoming our friends.

Very well organised
We booked a seven day budget tour from Arusha. We were contacted a few days before and then met up with a tour company member the day before at our hotel. He gave us a full briefing, took the balance of the your cost on a credit card payment and arranged to keep most of our luggage while we were on tour which was very helpful.
Our tour guide was excellent and worked very hard to give us a great experience. The cook was also very nice. The meals were quite tasty if repetitive. The sleeping accommodation was okay though some of the sleeping bags were smelly- glad I brought my own sleeping sheet.
We saw lots of animals and different habitats and the guide was able to answer the trickiest questions.
On arrival back at Arusha the was a bit of a mix up with being dropped at our hotel but that was sorted out.
Overall I thought it was very professionally organised and good value with a helpful debrief at the end.
After that we did a four day tour in Kenya with another company and the difference in organisation was quite marked - it was quite chaotic.
