They are professional, efficient, and friendly, creating a trip that is relaxing yet adventurous!
We had the absolute honeymoon of our dreams, thanks to the incredible team at Ndutu Green Explorers, especially our travel consultant, Tom, and our guide, Gilbert.
From the start, Tom was exceptional. He worked closely with us to curate a 6-day, 5-night safari that perfectly matched our vision, departing from and returning to Zanzibar and including stops at Tarangire National Park, the Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. We asked for a mix of luxury and mid-range accommodations, and Tom delivered a beautifully balanced itinerary that exceeded our expectations.
What truly stood out was Tom’s responsiveness and patience. Despite going through 13 different safari versions, primarily due to our indecision, he remained incredibly kind, flexible, and helpful through it all. He always replied within 24 hours, often much sooner, and was consistently cheerful and collaborative. Even while we were on our trip, he regularly checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly. Meeting him in person at the airport was a lovely experience after months of planning together. He also went above and beyond by answering questions that weren’t even safari-related, like navigating taxis and currency exchange on Zanzibar.
Our guide, Gilbert, was equally phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, professional, and always seemed to have a sixth sense for where the action was. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, a cheetah, and countless other spectacular animals always from front-row vantage points. He created a calm, comfortable atmosphere from day one, and we truly enjoyed spending the week with him. Every morning, the truck was immaculately prepared, with bottled waters in our cup holders, snacks like cashews and Pringles in the front tray, and the mats shaken out to keep things dust-free. Lunchtime had a proper setup every day, complete with a tablecloth, drinks (including wine and beer), hot meals, and fresh fruit, all served with care.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ndutu Green Explorers to anyone looking for a customized, high-touch safari experience that not only caters to your preferences but also supports local Tanzanian communities. They made our honeymoon truly magical—and we can’t wait to return someday.

Unforgettable experience!
I did the tour with Makini. And it was my first experience to do a safari tour so i had no idea what to do actually. And the staff Naomi which was taking care of me helped me for everything about and during the tour. You can expect how perfect my tour was. I saw a lot of animals with the guide and every chef cooked such a nice meal. You won’t regret to choose them!

Excellent guides and schedules
We just returned from two weeks of game drives, first week in Botswana, second in Tanzania. We selected Kubwa Five Safaris to organize everything and it was an extraordinary experience. Great communication prior to the trip-and I had tons of questions, to check-ins during the trip making sure everything was going well. The accommodations they arranged were amazing, and all of the guides were stellar. We got our Big Five and plenty more. Kubwa arranged all of flights within the countries, and the flights between the two, as well.
In Botswana we enjoyed game drives in the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Preserve and Chobe Nat’l Park. In Tanzania we searched The Ngorongo Crater, Serengeti and Tarangire.
Our guides did an incredible job locating the animals and with their knowledge of their behaviors, we saw several many big cats!!
It truly was beyond our expectations!
If seeing lots of wild animals is on your bucket list, book with Kubwa Five Safaris.

Awesome with Papa john
Papa is the best we saw all the big five, maasai mara is the best experience ever kindly book with axis no dissapointment
Friendly, professional & knowledgeable
Communications with Gatelinks was easy and their focus was on what we required.
Everything was on time and our comfort was our driver John’s priority, stopping for as long as we needed for photos and ensuring we were complete before moving on. John was very knowledgeable around the park and gave great insight into the animals behaviours. Would certainly recommend Gatelinks to everyone.

John was an amazing guide!
We felt taken care of by Kilipath African Safari throughout our entire experience. This includes before and after the actual safari. They were very communicative, friendly, and catered an amazing experience for our group. We would 100% recommend this tour guide operator for anyone who is looking for an unforgettable safari experience. This company really makes it their priority to ensure you have the best experience of possible.
Our tour guide, John, was very knowledgeable and we loved him. The accommodations they arranged exceeded our expectations.

BEST IN BOTSWANA
We did a 5 nights - 5 days safari with the company. Mucheka is a really helpful and kind person. And you will only be aware of the truth of this sentence once you meet him. People in Botwana are usually easygoing, helpful and sincerely kind, however Mucheka just breaks the records. He is always trying to make the best experience for you. He always gave us advice on which were the best options, even not concerning safari. if you have any questions just speak to him. Do take his calls, most of the booking we made it via WhatsApp calls and it's the best way to do so. He stayed on budget. All the camp gear is confortable yet adventurous, the food is really good too. The experience of the safari was just outstanding, our trip wouldn't have been the same without it, and it's definitely not the same if you do it by yourself self, you will spend so much time on logistics that it will be impossible to enjoy your days the way we did it. Even if you selfdrive, check with Mucheka, he can arrange something for the car to travel with a driver so you can just enjoy the safari.
We advise an early booking. It is normal to pay all the amount in advance, since accommodation and everything needed needs to be booked.
Nyala is probably the best tour operator in all Botswana regarding affordability, quality and satisfaction.

Organized and trustworthy.
African Family Safaris was amazing! We told them we wanted somewhere quiet and off the beaten path, and they absolutely nailed it. They found us the perfect hidden spot in Namibia — peaceful, beautiful, and just what we hoped for. Everything was well organized, and the whole trip felt really special. Couldn’t have asked for more!"

Professional
We had an amazing safari experience with Safari Soles—everything was smooth, well-organized, and unforgettable. Boniface was the reason we chose Safari Soles, and he truly exceeded our expectations with his support and attention to detail. Our guide Izaak was professional and kind, helping us enjoy every moment and learn about the wildlife and culture. Tip: skip the e-visa for Tanzania and get it on arrival—it’s much easier. We're really happy we chose Safari Soles!

Best Tour Guide Experience – A Truly Unforgettable Safari!
We had the most incredible safari experience, all thanks to Joseph from Jungleroom, who took amazing care of our entire family throughout our journey across Kenya. From Maasai Mara to Ol Pejeta, Amboseli, Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha, Joseph made every moment safe, seamless, and truly unforgettable.
What stood out most was Joseph’s courage and calm expertise—he skillfully drove us through the wild, bringing us up close to incredible wildlife like lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and more. Despite the proximity, we always felt completely safe thanks to his experience and professionalism.
Beyond the thrill of the sightings, Joseph’s deep knowledge of animal behavior brought every scene to life. He patiently explained what we were seeing—from subtle signs of animal communication to the dynamics within a pride of lions. His passion for nature and wildlife was inspiring and turned each drive into an engaging, educational experience for both adults and kids.
Thanks to Joseph, our safari was more than just a trip—it was an adventure of a lifetime, full of wonder, discovery, and cherished family memories. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and kindness.
If you're planning a safari, ask for Joseph at Jungleroom—you won’t find a better guide. Truly the best in town.
