Matumi is the best in the bushveld!
My wife and I frequent Hoedspruit regularly for work, and safari with Matumi is a must every trip we take.
Their staff really make you feel at home right away, and their knowledge of the bush is unparalleled.
Besides having an incredible time, we always learn so many new things each tour we take.
I can not recommend Matumi enough. Whether you are a first timer or been many times to the South African bush, the professionalism and pride they take in their job is remarkable

Amazing!
The entire experience was incredible! Our guide Swahibu was amazing and so informative, and made sure we saw every animal we could have! I don’t think we missed a single expirance, and the service was perfect. Thank you Soloman Safaris!

The Absolute Best!
We spent almost a week on Safari with King Solomon Safaris. Solomon himself met us at the airport, helped us with our accommodations in Arusha and returned to meet us upon departure. He went out of his way to help us.
We spent 5 nights and 6 days exploring Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. We were hoping for a few animal sightings as this was the rainy season, but what we got was infinitely more than we expected in the best possible way.
Our guide, Swahibu was incredibly knowledgeable and safety conscious. He knew where to look for the animals and answered all of our questions. I can’t imagine going with any other guide - he was the best. Along with him, our chef Sylvester prepared delicious food day after day.
On our last day and as part of our package, we were introduced to Bakari, a local from the village of Mto Wa Mbu where we spent nights 1 and 5. He took us on a cultural tour on bicycles through the village including a banana plantation. This was an unexpected but incredible experience that is one not to be missed. Besides the numerous animals we observed over pie week, this village tour was definitely a highlight.
The entire crew was professional, kind and absolutely exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. I can’t recommend them enough. If we were to return, we would 100% go with them again! Asante Sana to all!!

Stephano Francis is the most helpful tour guide my wife and I have ever experienced.
Our tour was from Arusha to the Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Stephano has been unfailingly cheerful, friendly, courteous and helpful. His knowledge of the animals and environment is impressive.
We would highly recommend Stephano as a tour guide.

Passionate, Professional and with an eye for details.
Incredible Safari experience.
Suricata Team has been very professional since the get going, helping us in selecting the best package for us. Spot on organisation and flawless execution.
Furthermore our guide, Damian, has done a super job; very professional and fluent in English as well as really skilled driver, making the ride super smooth in spotting all the big 5 (yes, we made it!).
Accommodation very cozy and always sustainable (eco-lodges) complementing greatly the safari experience. Food always delicious and freshly cooked, prioritising always raw ingredients and not pre-packed/cooked.
I would definitely re-do it and recommend it to anyone interested into a safari

Highly recommended
We recently had the opportunity to experience a spectacular safari in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and our guide was not only an expert on the local fauna and flora but also made the tour entertaining and educational.
The animal sightings were breathtaking: elephants, rhinos, zebras, and many other species in their natural habitat. The beauty of the landscape, combined with the tranquility of the surroundings, made every moment special.
If you're looking for an authentic adventure in nature, I definitely recommend this safari. Furthermore, the provider took care of every detail with great professionalism and passion. We would definitely trust them again for future experiences.

Safari bookings offers epic guided adventures through the legendary lands of African safari
We wanted to experience the very best of the Masai Mara safari, and although we booked just a month before our travel dates, January, the Dreamlike Africa team still managed to make it work beautifully.
Though our preferred accommodation Mara Serena was already full, the team at dreamlike secured us a stay at Mara sopa lodge which though ranked lower was okey.
Our guide David was attentive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made sure our 3-day stay was packed with sightings, including lions on the hunting. Dreamlike Africa turned a potentially stressful last-minute plan into a seamless, unforgettable experience.

A dream comes true
A dream comes true
We really wanted to go on a safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro this year. So I started looking at different options. We wanted something special, and for three days. The reviews and testimonials from Porcupine Expeditions were so good that we decided to go with them. And we haven't regretted it at all!
We arrived in Arusha from Zanzibar, and our airline canceled and postponed our flights several times, and finally changed our destination airport (from Arusha to Kilimanjaro). None of this was a problem for Anna; she waited for us with her daughter and the driver and picked us up there (it was 8:00 p.m.). Transfer to Arusha and overnight stay in a fine hotel (Arusha Farm House Hotel). The next morning at 7:00 a.m., our guide (Johnas) picked us up, and we set off. What we experienced in those three days far exceeded all our expectations and hopes. With his excellent English, Johnas gave us so many details about the wildlife. He organized everything perfectly and was always able to spot the animals. We saw everything there was to see. And at the end, he brought us safely back to Arusha.
Those were three days we will never forget.
We will recommend this tour to everyone we can.
Once again, a big thank you to Anna and her team.
With this experience, we are considering taking a trip to Kilimanjaro with Anna next year or the year after.
