Great experience
We booked for a four days three night safari at the Kruger Park. Our guide Steve picked us up at the hotel in Johannesburg and drove us to the crocodile camp for the first two nights. He was a great guide, showing us a lot and could tell us all kinds of details about the park and the animals we saw. Besides being a great guide, he was a wizard with the braai and made sure we wouldn't starve...we saw a lot of giraffes, elephants, lions, all kind of deers, rhino's, hippo's, crocks and on the last morning three cheeta's coming back from a hunt. I can surely recommend Endless Summer Tours. Flexible and reliable

Amazing Safari with an amazing guide and people!
We had a wonderful Safari and a funny Time with our guide 'Good Luck'! Everything was very well organized from the pick up from the airport until the getting back to the airport! All drivers were in time!
We also had luck with the other Safaritourists in our car, cause they all were almost as old we are - about 24- and so we had a lot of fun with them in our car and they also became friends!
Except the mix of Lodge guests - me and my girlfriend were the only ones- and camping guests in our car was a bit complicated and not that good organized, cause our driver had to drive us to the Lodges which were far away to the Camping and so mostly we arrived late in the lodges or camping!But think you will do it better next time! ;)
Although we enjoyed the 4- Day Safari Tour through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti a lot and have seen almost all of the Big Five - except a Rhino- but that didn´t matter!We had one of the Best Times ever there!
Best Regards

A tailor-made vacation which successfully incorporated relaxation, luxury and attention to detail.
Our honeymoon experience was made all the more special by the care and attention given to us by the staff of Antelope especially our guide and driver Charles. We saw the most spectacular sights, relaxed and indulged in comfort, good food and warm hospitality.

Old, smelly, robust and friendly
The company is a small company of about 10 people. The way to communicate and to pay for the safari was made with a start-up company feeling.
The car was extremely smelly and over 15 years old, but robust. Some other safari companies we saw had very clean and fresh cars with snacks etc but we also saw many of them on the side of the street as the cars did not resist the very very bumpy roads. Our car got a flat tire only once.
Our guide knew a lot about animals and was friendly and nice.
Some of the accommodations were really nice and some of them were really horrible.

Great trip to Nyiragongo Volcano!
I was looking up tours company to Virunga/Nyiragongo National Park and found that Matoke tours is both the most affordable tour company and the most well-known in Uganda. The set-up and payments went smoothly online with no problem and the staff was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. They also helped us arrange visa at no extra cost and saved us the hassle. As a plus, we booked our flight to Kigali early and was able to tour the city and the Genocide memorial for free (we had the driver to ourselves the whole day). Our driver/tour guide in Rwanda was very nice and knowledgeable. The accommodation in Gisenyi (the night before the trek) was very high-end and comfortable (I could've stayed there for a week!). The rest of the tour was handled by Virunga National Park staff which also went very smoothly and safe (it was a big group of about 24 hikers). The view of the biggest volcano lake is breathtaking and unlike anything I've seen before! There was one or two hiccups where we had to pay for porters and a short transport to the DRC border (which we thought was included). But Matoke tours soon reached out to us, apologized, and reimbursed us. All in all, an unforgettable journey that went fairly smoothly. The price is not that much different than if you planned it yourself but everything is taken care of (trust me the price on Virunga National Park's official website is deceiving). Would definitely recommend, thanks Matoke

Excellent! Hats off to the arrangements made by Trekkr Africa. Everything was planned and perfectly
The experience was joyful , to say the least. All our expectations were met.Catherine from Trekkr Africa s amazing. She would take calls at any hour and communicated constantly with us to make sure everything went well. The expectations from our group was too demanding and she managed to meet the same very well. Full kudos to her and her team. I would strongly recommend Trekker Africa to any tour group.

Excellent and reliable service
I booked the safari trip one week before departure through Bison Safaris. Maggie was very effective in her communication - provided options and recommendations and quickly responded to my request to modify the plan. The driver was also punctual, friendly, and helpful. I would feel very comfortable with booking another safari trip with Bison in the future.

An Unforgettable first visit to Africa that will be hard to beat
I have waited an awful long time to go to Africa and thought and chose my trip very carefully. The Wildside Safari Company was to me the logical operator to travel with, especially after talking to Shirli and having received a copy of their book "Africa’s Ultimate Safaris". The trip they ran to the Great Migration and the crossings in Tanzania was another no brainer and what an introduction to Africa! Wildside sorted out everything bar our flights and even then gave good advice and arranged extra accommodation where we required it. Also we chose to travel a day earlier so we could be with the group early on the first day to travel which gave us time to break ourselves into the safari experience gently with a trip to the fabulous Arusha National park, set between Mounts Meru and Kilimanjaro it is a stunning park and was quite different to all of the others that we visited as it allowed us to experience jungle and all of its fabulous sights, sounds and especially smells. Watching colobus and sykes monkeys evacuate the trees as a crested eagle swooped through was an amazing kick start to the trip and if you like birds this park is a must. From here the trip started proper, visiting Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. I had always wanted to see the infamous Mara river and it did not disappoint. Watching the crossings is quite an experience. Feeling rain in Africa while you are sat in the porch of your personal tent in the tented camp, while watching wildebeest and zebra stream past on the hill opposite for well over 2 hours! Well over a million wildebeest, especially in the Lamai Wedge (my favourite day of the trip), 1000's of zebra, gazelle & buffalo. 100's of ele's, giraffe & lion. 13 cheetah and 9 leopard. Plus the most amazing view of 3 wild dog and seeing them cross the mighty Mara. Seeing a huge croc take a wildebeest..... Plus the birds..... 300+ species. Flamingos as far as both my eye and my scope could see on Lake Manyara........ No review does the trip justice. I cannot recommend it enough and Wildside who arranged the most fantastic guides, accommodation, food and travel. Will look to try and do it again! :)
