Awesome Safari!
I went on a safari with Sham last summer and it was one of the coolest experiences I have had to date! Sham was the perfect tourguide- knowledgeable about all the animals, friendly and easy to talk to, willing to take requests, and extremely competent. The whole safari went off without a hitch- everything was taken care of for us- basically all we had to do was bring our stuff, show up, and have fun! The food was delicious, the scenery was beautiful, and most importantly we got to see all the awesome African animals (basically anything from the Lion King). This is a trip I would highly recommend, and Sham is definitely the guy to have as your leader!

Unforgettable experience of a lifetime, thanks in a large part to ISIA
Just returned from an 8 night 9 day customized safari with ISIA. Very pleased, great experience. Knowledgeable driver/guide and a great cook. We appreciated what they did for us and they were really nice to travel with. Some high points: Our guide, Isaac, really knew all of the animals and birds and where to find them. We saw all of the wildlife that we hoped to see. Our cook Obed (Ahbed?) was great. Good meals and friendly service all the time. I thoroughly enjoyed hiking from Empakai Crater to Lake Natron with our gear travelling on donkeys. I think we really saw Africa without "tourist" glasses on.
We did another safari in Kenya and ISIA was much, much better. If you haven't been on a safari before you probably need to talk to some people who have. If you're used to staying in nice hotels and travelling in air condition buses you are in for a little culture shock. We are in our 60's and found it to be a wonderful experience. Every night we slept in tents, sometimes with cots but often on a map on the ground (took one night to get over that!). Hot water was sporadic and bathrooms were very basic. This has nothing to do with the company you choose, it's just how things are in rural Africa. I'm not sure many of my friends would choose to travel like this, preferring catered, all inclusive luxury to a trip like this. Too bad for them. This was an unforgettable experience of a lifetime, thanks in a large part to ISIA.
All of the people we met in Tanzania and Kenya were very pleasant, polite and helpful. If you can say "how are you" in Swahili, you will be greeted with a beaming smile and a very friendly reply.

Two days in Kruger park with Bubezi Safaris
We went in with John, a guy who knows the whole park like its the back of his hand. He gave us detailed description of every animal we saw and also some more fun fact about the park. To make it even better is the communication between the other people in the Bubezi Safaris. This allowed us to spot some awesome animals and at the end even spot all of the big five!
Really good trip, really good people and awesome animals

A wonderful Safari trip in Botswana
When we started planning our safari trip in Zimbabwe and Botswana, we contacted The Safari Partners and Chris immediately answered us with some proposals for our Honeymoon which were perfectly adjusted to our desires. He was also very flexible to adapt the trip to our budget and plans.
During the trip itself everything was perfect. All the transfers and lodges were smoothly planned and well chosen. I am very glad to have chosen Chris and all his staff to plan my Honeymoon. If you decide to work with them for sure you will not regret!
Thank you Chris and staff!
Amazing Experience
Jesse was an exceptional safari guide. I kept telling him spending time with him was like being with a walking, talking Google. Every question I asked about animals, the land, the country he could answer in depth. He had a great sense of humor and by the time the safari was over I knew I had a friend for life. Jesse's vehicles are safe, comfortable and he made sure that I had everything I needed at all times. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend Naenda to anyone that visits Tanzania.

Reassuringly Brilliant.
Although we wouldn't normally use a travel agent, when we were booking our South African honeymoon we wanted some assistance to ensure we had the best time possible. Rose Hipwood was the perfect person. She listened to everything that we wanted and came up with a fabulous schedule. We were especially impressed when we ran into a problem on our way back when our flights were cancelled due to the weather. The people at the airport were hopeless. However, Rose took our very late call and sorted things out for us. We were so impressed that when we wanted to go on a special holiday again this year we got in touch and were impressed all over again. Rose came up with a couple of spectacular options tailor made for us. We eventually decided to go with the Namibia option. It was wonderful. We contacted her during our holiday again as we decided to make a change midway. Again she was incredibly helpful and changes went without a hitch. It is worth mentioning as well that we are probably a travel agents nightmare as we have a lot of demands and know what we like and are unwilling to compromise. Rose was probably in touch with us every day as we had such a hard time deciding which trip we wanted. All our queries were answered promptly and Rose was happy to discuss anything and everything that I came up with to ask. Nothing was too much trouble and we definitely felt that the extra mile was gone to make us happy. Cannot recommend this company enough.

Expert photography Holiday!
Trip with Dick is a lifetime one! Watching the wildlife migration was an extra ordinary one. Dick observes the concept of conserving the wildlife for the future. I would recommend him to every armature or expert photographer visiting East Africa.

very good safari company
I have used Umubano tours for a short gorilla tracking last May. They offered me a very good service and felt completely safe and taken care of. Herbert the owner is a very kind person, and has a deep knowledge of the area and on the gorillas. I would recommend to anyone to use them when traveling to Rwanda.

Lakengozi Campsite Lodge and Tours did a wonderful job exceeding our high expectations!
We went with Lakengozi Tours on a 6 day / 5 night camping safari. Why would anybody want to pay for accommodation above camping? Nothing was too much trouble and everything was catered for. Well done Sharif and Faiko you have a fantastic team.
