Planes, Trains & Automobile Chicks Tour of South Africa
Kobus and I met on a Safari many years ago and he just made me laugh. A couple of years later I asked him to help me organise a 2-week tour of South Africa. Wow, what a blast we managed a lot from driving through Swaziland to the grand finale a trip on the Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria. Kobus and team were fantastic they organised everything including car and train hire, all accommodations, etc. The best part was all the trips that he had organised for along the way. Kobus has a great love and understanding of his country and the surrounding countries and with his wicked sense of humour, I was in tears of laughter every time we had a catch-up meeting. I look forward to my next trip with Kobus and Jewel of Africa Safaris because they are the jewel of Africa.

Perfect Safari Holiday in Kenya
We spent 8 nights at Kenya (Samburu, Sweetwaters, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Nairobi) with Right Choice Tours & Safaris. It was our first safari holiday.
After making long correspondences with more than 7 local and international tour operators; we decided to work with Right Choice Tours & Safaris.
George swiftly answered all of our questions and accepted almost all of our requests regarding the schedule of our tour. He was very kind, knowledgeable and professional. We requested fee quotes from different travel agencies for the same tour program (i.e. exactly same hotels, same vehicle type etc.); the best fee quote was proposed by Right Choice Tours & Safaris.
We were really excited when our plane has landed to Kenya; because everybody told us that the most important part for the success of a safari holiday was the guide. A kind lady from George’s team welcomed us at the airport and introduced us to our beloved guide, Opany who became our best friend in Kenya!
Among other things, Opany was very knowledgeable, professional, patient, helpful, intelligent, friendly, and funny and he was a perfect driver. Most importantly, he was really trustful and this is a very important specialty as you do not have anybody else to rely on in the middle of the wilderness of Kenya. Although he is making this job for more than 20 years, he shared our excitement in our first safari experience. He is an expert in finding animals and also he gives great information about the animals. He accommodated all of requests and made many great suggestions during the holiday. We feel really lucky to meet someone like Opany.
During our holiday, we did not face with any issues. Everything was very organized.
We believe that finding the right tour operator is very important for a safari holiday; because a bad operator or an unprofessional guide can easily ruin your holiday. We really worked hard to find the right tour operator in this respect and we were really lucky about our guide. We definitely recommend Right Choice Tours & Safaris. We are sure that their other guides are good as well; but we believe you should definitely push George in order for him to assign Opany for your tour if possible.
Thank George and Opany for the beautiful holiday that you realized for us. Hope to see you again soon!

THE BEST!
This experience from inquiring about booking with them, to the communication throughout the whole trip was absolutely great. I loved the staff, the driver was the best, and it was by far the most affordable yet best safari trip I could have ever asked for. The driver was super patient and so knowledgable, the staff did daily check-ins to make sure everything was going well. The accommodation arrangements were great and more than we expected. I would highly recommend using Campofrio Safaris especially asking for their 4x4 jeep! It's a beauty and it's able to run through all kinds of roads in the national park, which there were many mini vans that weren't able to make it! I am hoping to go back in July and book again with them!

about Safarihub
We spent 7 days with our guide from Safarihub Rama driving around Tanzania's parks. The experience is unbelievable. First, Safarihub is a top notch company. Their communication with us during the planning of our trip was always fast and accurate.

Better than we could have ever imagined!
We were in Tanzania for a work trip and thought it would be a great idea to fit in a weekend Safari if possible seeing as this is not an opportunity you get very often. We contacted Peter a few days before arriving in Tanzania and told him our plans; the place, day and time we´d be available from and then the day and time we´d have to leave to fly back home to Europe. Basically we had two free days and asked him if it would be possible to arrange anything, we really didn´t mind what as this would be our first Safari experience for most of us (3 out of 4 people). He got back to us quickly and proposed a very interesting trip plan. We contacted Peter again once we were in Tanzania just one day before the proposed Safari start date (we left it a bit last minute as we didn´t know if it was going to be possible considering our work agenda) to confirm that we´d like to go ahead with their Safari. Peter was very attentive and sorted everything out. We visited Tarangire Park and the Ngorongoro Crater...simply amazing. Our guide/driver was Godfrey, he did an incredible job spotting all the animals for us and pretty much from the first minute we met him he was one of us and we all got on great. In the crater we even managed to see a couple of black rhinos cross in front of us about 15 metres away...very very lucky. We stayed in two different lodges; both of them were nicely located, clean, provided great service and great food. To conclude, the country itself is a spectacular place, specially these areas around the Arusha area, but being able to share this "mini adventure" with a team of competent and friendly professionals such as Bestday Safaris was just the icing on the cake. Thank you.

Knowledgeable, Reliable & Hard Working
We did a ten days tanzania safari covering lake manyara, ngorogoro and serengeti. This is my second trip to safari in TZ and I was clear of the expectations. David and team ensured they understood the expectations and tried their best to make it happen. Extremely hard working and reliable. It's important to realize the overall safari experience would be better when it is a experienced as a team and not as pure business. David and team perfectly jelled with our group to make the experience great.

Amazing Northern circuit safari experience
I have enjoyed a 6 days safari in Northern Tanzania. We covered Lake Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi.
We choose Safari Multiways as our tour operator because it is a local company from Arusha and Romeo, the owner, had done a really good job at communicating with us while we were researching.
The service offered by Safari Multiways was remarkable and a good value for money.
Our driver and guide, Amos, made this a 5 star trip. He is a a good English speaker and well documented.
What really made us feel at home was the fact that he made us feel safe and he was always operating in our interest. It felt like visiting a friend.

Perfect honeymoon
When searching for the perfect honeymoon you can easily get confused by all the "fantastic" options provided by several agencies. As soon as it has anything to do with a honeymoon, the price doubles. We felt this was confusing. We didn't know what we would get, just that the budget would be gone pretty fast. Luckily we happen to hear about Tanzania Explorer from a friend who knew someone very satisfied with a trip organized by Tanzania Explorer.
We got in touch with Sondre, who provided different solutions that fitted our preferences, schedule, budget and our expectations. Together we tuned our travel plans, to have an optimal mix of experiences and honeymoon relax days at Zanzibar. During this process we got several good advices we never would have thought of on our own.
In Tanzania we experienced to be taken very well care from the second we landed in Dar Es Salam and to the very end. Everything were very well organized, and there were not much left for us to do than show up on given times at given places. The counterparts were always on time, and there was never unexpected delays nor unfortunate changes in plan. Good food were served or prepared every day. Sometimes eaten on the top of beautiful waterfalls or at the lodge with an exotic view over the river.
Our guide! our guide Julius is propably the best guide in Tanzania, or may be the entire Africa. He had a very good developed nose for knowing exactly where to search for the coolest animals. This resulted in several close ups of lions who were enjoying a zebra-meal or just relaxing under a tree. Unforgettable!
Zanzibar was just the perfect destination for a honeymoon! Totally relaxing, a nice view over the sea and nice people! If we wanted to go outside the resort to eat or explore Stonetown, the personnel arranged safe transportation for us.
Thanks for the most memorable honeymoon we could ever dream about!
