My Father's Birthday
Monika and her team provided an excellent service. They were very flexible. They were available throughout my parents' trip making all the adjustments around additional meals, picking up and dropping off points and times. The arranged activities run smoothly, the dinner at the Boma was perfect. Whilst we (my siblings and I) could not be in Zimbabwe to celebrate my Father's birthday, Monika and her team insured that he had a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend Safari Source especially for all those in the diaspora who would want to plan something special for a loved one.

Expert tour company with thorough knowledge of all scenery and destinations in East Africa
Tropical Vacations were recommended to me by a friend in London. I was quite impressed by them when I last visited Kenya in March. For a whole month, they proved to be more cost effective than the ones I had used previously. In particular, I was impressed by their thorough knowledge about several scenic sites and destinations within the cities, suburban and in the countryside. I also liked their free an invaluable advice on how to quickly and cheaply navigate through my preferred destinations.
I'd highly recommend anyone to use them.

Trek2Kili is by far the most superb choice for any TZ safari and climbing experience! So impressed!
My experience with Trek2Kili was second-to-none! All communication was prompt and extremely kind, and all expectations were exceeded! In addition, our safari was incredible! Giraffe, lions, elephants, cheetah, and so much more! As well as our amazing climb of Mt. Kili! Thank you Trek2Kili for an unforgettable experience!
Outstanding Safari!
We had the good fortune to have Bestday Safaris conduct our Safari. We visited the Ngorongoro Crater and then Serengeti National Park. Our driver was Six (I probably spelled this wrong) and he did an excellent job. He was very familiar with the areas we visited and was able to show us so much. He was knowledgeable about the wildlife and very informative. He was a good driver and we always felt safe. Over and above that he was a super person and we really enjoyed talking not only about the wildlife, but about life in Tanzania. We highly recommend Bestday Safaris Asante Sana Bob and Christina

Our Best Vacation Ever
When we started planning our safari in South Africa we really had no idea where to begin. We found Roho Ya Chui through browsing on the internet. This greatly facilitated the planning of our trip. Everything was clearly explained and the many questions we had were answered quickly and accurately. As everything was very well arranged, our trip went smoothly and completely stress-free. We stayed at the Ngala and Kirkman's Camp lodges and loved every minute. The customer service and friendliness was of a level we had never seen during our travels. The game drives were some of the best experiences of our lives. This was also one of the few vacations when we were really looking forward to getting up at 5 am every day to join the game drive. We had a truly fantastic time and have already started thinking about planning our next safari. We can fully recommend Roho Ya Chui for helping you to plan your safari and recommend staying at the Ngala and Kirkman's Camp lodges. Suzie & Axel, April 2015.

Best Private Air Tours in South Africa
William Cook of Cook's Air Tours & Safaris is one of the most knowledgeable pilot guides that Capture Africa Tours has had the pleasure of working with. William Cooks knowledge of South Africa whether it be the history of Cape Town, or life in the bush is incredible. You won't need guide books or maps when your're traveling with him. William is a very experienced pilot who can get you in and out of any area as long as the runway is certified and is long enough. This was the deal breaker for Capture Africa Tours. We needed to get in and out of different locations that are only accessible by light aircraft and Cooks Air Tours could accommodate us. William is a very easy going person and always ready to help whenever and wherever he can. Do not hesitate to use William and his company....you will not be disappointed.

A not-to-be-misses destination
The Okavango Delta was just one stop on a month long visit to Africa but it was the richest in terms of game viewing and overall safari experience. We encounter the rarely seen pangolin, lions galore (a pair on their "honeymoon"), amusing (and sometimes annoying) vervet monkeys, elephants, zebra, herds of antelope, and amazing birds; the iconic lilac-breasted roller among many others. It was July so bundling up for the early morning game drives was a must....by about 10 it warmed up enough to shed a few layers and enjoy the sun. Our camp was operated by Wilderness Safaris - the food was wonderful, the staff simply the best, and our guides shared not only their knowledge of the area but their love of the land as well. The sweet scent of what our guide called "savannah basil" filled the air as we traveled through the delta - an experience I will long remember.

Review about Etosha National Park by TwiGGyAth
dry season is best if you want to easily catch animals around the water ponds.
Etosha is easy to drive and go around and there are a lot of animals and birds to see

Had a great time camping in the bush
I really enjoyed seeing Ruaha. I've been to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Selous before, but Ruaha was still really impressive for several reasons: First, we camped in Ruaha, which you can't do everywhere (especially not for the reasonable rates that you get in Ruaha). And when I say 'camped', I really mean camped - we took our own tent and set up camp in a little-used private campsite. We cooked over a campfire, and sat out under the stars. No other camps or people anywhere close. That's another of the benefits to Ruaha - there just aren't as many people there as in the Northern Circuit parks (especially Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Third, although the Northern Circuit may be a bit better for seeing wildlife, you certainly won't be disappointing at Ruaha! In two days, I saw elephants, lions, greater kudu, impala, giraffe, baboons, vervet monkeys, nile and savanah monitor lizards (one Savanah monitor even spent the afternoon, evening, night, and the next morning in a tree over our camp), hippos, black-backed jackals, banded and lesser mongoose, and lots of birds (2 spotted eagle owls, several bustards, lilac-breasted rollers and European rollers, shrikes, buffalo-weavers, white-headed vultures, fish eagles, brown-hooded kingfishers, pied kingfishers, lots of Franklins and other quail, guinea fowl, red-billed hornbills, ground hornbills, hammerkops, among others). If you go with a tour guide, you're liable to see even more, since they communicate with each other by radio to learn where all the key animals are (I went with a couple local Tanzanians).
April isn't the most popular time to visit - there's more rain and more vegetation, which decreases visibility on safaris, but we had very little rain, still saw a good sampling of wildlife, and had the added benefit of the park being practically empty.
