17 days tour completed wonderfully without a hitch
Stephen met us a day before the tour was to start and even sent the vehicle and guide to meet us. Steve was our guide and drove us during our tour. Both of them were always available to address any queries we had. Steve was knowledgeable and accomodating whenever we wanted to stop somewhere. He was also good at spotting animals and birds. Since we were pure vegetarians, Stephen made sure we got good Indian veg food everywhere we went. All in all we had great fun and a successful tour.

They rpovide superior guides and services.
I have traveled five times with Fortes - custom safaris that were inexpensive - depending on hotels used. I have experienced at least five of their guides, each excellent. My last two safaris with them included seeing the migration, which is one of the highlights of any safari. The lions abounded, as - surprisingly - did the leopards. I could depend on them to quickly deal with any unforseen problems. I planned the last four safaris by email, and Fortes was always quick to reply and ready with any information I needed.

Fantastic safari, excellent logistics and service for a fair price
After initially contacting Discover Africa, Karl Svendsen contacted me and we started the process of getting a quote and defining an itinerary for a safari to Tanzania. Karl was extremely professional and timely in his responses and in short we had it all sorted out. He answered my questions with accuracy and even though the planning took a few months, all went smoothly.
When the time came, Karl assisted me with some last minute questions and sent me all what we needed to go (my wife, our two kids and me). Upon arrival, the guide, Seph was expecting us at the airport and from there a fantastic experience was started. All the details of the trip had been professionally handled and there were no surprises (well, there were plenty... but of the good ones!). The hotels were up to the expectation, food was delicious and the guide was very, very knowledgable and did a great job in helping with our kids (3 and 7 yrs old). We went to lake Manyara, Nogorongoro and Serengeti. Seph was very skilled in helping us find good game to watch, and doing so in a safe way. He was very well aware of the rules of each park and while always respecting them, he found the best opportunities for us to enjoy the animals of all kinds.
I can only say, this agency is a great deal: the price is very competitive and they work with you to design an experience for your budget and expectations. Next time I go to Africa I will, with no hesitation, use them again.

What a welcome to Africa
Our 1st experience with Africa was through a 5 day tour of the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei & Coastwith Blue Crane Safaris and they did not disappoint. From the outset the communication with Derek was exceptional with him responding promptly and patiently. Then after months of waiting we finally arrived and were greeted by our guide, Sammy, who was a upbeat kind of guy with amazing knowledge and who went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience. He went above & beyond when one of our group left his passport behind on our last day and arranged to have it sent from Swakopmund to Windhoek. (Thanks again Sammy!) We saw amazing sights and a wide variety of birds & animals. Would happily recommend Blue Crane to you.

A fantastic experience from start to finish
My first contact with Home to Africa was a phonecall from Elias in response to my email enquiry. From then on, his responses to questions and itinerary changes were always fast and positive. Our safari was 2 weeks for 4 people, and I have nothing but good things to say. The organisation was perfect, the hotels chosen for us were fantastic, the vehicle comfortable and suitable for the conditions, and the guide/driver unbelievable! Paul is an excellent and safe driver, his ability to find animals and position the car for the photography, and his exceptional love of birds made our trip absolutely perfect. He enjoys his job and the wildlife so much that it added to our enjoyment and wonder of this fabulous country. There was a highlight every day, and he did his best to make our trip a very memorable event. So, my sincere thanks to Paul and Elias for making all our dreams of Uganda a reality.

A fabulous experience with a fabulous guide
Cross to Africa was contracted by our (flaky) Kenyan safari company. Our Tanzanian guide Tony not only drove and spotted animals in all the gameparks, but also spent hours daily arranging accommodation for us and arguing with the Kenyan company for funds. Tony is a pleasure to be around and his good humour and booming laugh quickly endeared him to us all. We had a ball with him. The vehicle was comfortable and suited to conditions in game parks, and Tony an excellent driver. I can't imagine that any other company in Tanzania could have done a better job under the circumstances. This is a company I would contact first on another visit to Tanzania. It was excellent, and we are very grateful to Tony for making it so.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Jennifer Henderson
This is a must see! We saw all sorts of animals, including rhinos! The temperature in the crater was cool, which I really appreciated after a few hot days in the Serengeti.
