Knowledgeable, experienced, patient and attentive to guests.
Hearts of Africa was an incredible guide company for safari and I highly recommend them. This was my first safari and I was absolutely blown away by the knowledge and experience of our Hearts of Safari guide, Ephata. He provided so much insight about the topography, the culture, history, the animals, the flora and fauna and so much more during our safari. We would often be the first car at a significant animal sighting or be the first car to move to a better location because of Ephrata’s patience and knowledge of the animals and the different parks. He is always watching and observing.
Throughout each of the various parks we travelled other guides talked with Ephata, asked questions and it was clear they respected him. Significantly, he quickly surmised what part of the safari experience was most important to each member of our group and he would look out for us and make sure we all maximized our travel experience, even though we did not uniformly agree what was our goal. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, he is also a warm and a kind person. Hearts of Africa was an exceptional experience and I unqualifiedly recommend them. I will be back soon.

Amazing Value and Experience
My wife and I has the absolute best experience with Samora Explorers! Our amazing guide Reggie was nothing short of the perfect person to accompany you on a safari. From his friendliness, knowledge of animals, and incredible ability to spot animals, he made our trip a truly unique experience.
Because of Reggie we were able to witness a rare lion hunt. He also found a male and female lion mating just outside the Serengeti hidden in the grass. Time after time, Reggie continued to spot animals all over the place. We saw so many lions in unique positions and exhibiting different behaviors. He was able to show us a Rhino in the Ngorongoro crater, and even Vultures tearing into a Zebra carcass. Reggie really went above and beyond to make our safari an unforgettable experience and I would recommend him to anybody in a heart beat! Truly a great guide.
You'll find a lot of other overpriced tour companies offering the same package at triple the price. Samora Explorers offered us luxury to mid-level accommodation where we were served 3 course meals for much cheaper than all these other European based companies. They are a local company that actually cares about their employees. So much so that while everyone around us has these sad looking box lunches, we had fresh hot meals and had a bush picnic everyday.
Overall, I highly recommend Samora Explorers. They are a great tour company with great guides and I can guarantee that you will not regret booking with them.
Thank you to Iddy and Reggie for making our safari trip unforgettable.

Absolutely Incredible Experience – Highly Recommend!
Our trip with Tapestry of Africa was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, every detail was flawlessly planned. From the moment we were picked up at the airport in Victoria Falls, we knew we were in great hands. The itinerary covered everything—from thrilling game drives to unforgettable activities—seamlessly organized and stress-free.
A special shoutout to our incredible guide, Jacob. His knowledge, kindness, and passion made the trip even more special. We truly could not have asked for a better guide!
We visited both Zimbabwe and Botswana, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Not only is Tapestry of Africa outstanding, but every local partner and contact they work with was also top-notch. It’s clear they’ve cultivated strong, trustworthy relationships that benefit their travelers.
Our time in Africa was more magical and memorable than we ever could have imagined. If you're considering a safari or adventure in this part of the world, Tapestry of Africa should be your first call. Highly, highly recommend!

Amazing
Peter provided us with a once in a lifetime unique experience! We saw many different animals and witnessed many wonderful things every single day of our tour. Peter customized the perfect safari for us with different lodges and parks every day and varied activities to see and do everything we possibly could. Peter gave us many wonderful memories to treasure forever. Kibera Holiday Safaris are definitely 5 star plus and highly recommended. Peter ensured we had a magical experience. We will be booking other tours with Kibera in the future for different locations. This is our number 1 tour company ❤️

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Guide John!
Our Jungle Roam Safari was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the real highlight of the trip was our tour guide, John. His deep knowledge of the local wildlife, keen eye for spotting animals, and friendly, professional demeanor made the entire experience both educational and exciting.
John went out of his way to ensure we had the best views and photo opportunities, while also keeping everyone safe and comfortable throughout the journey. His passion for nature is infectious, and he shared fascinating facts about the animals and ecosystem that really enriched the tour.
We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, and so much more—all in their natural habitat. The memories we made on this safari will stay with us forever. If you're planning a safari adventure, I highly recommend Jungle Roam Safari—and definitely ask for John as your guide!

Unmatched experience that was catered to our liking
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Morningstar Tours and Travels for our recent safari in Kenya! From the moment we started planning our trip from Seattle, Dennis Kimeu, their Operations Lead, was outstanding. He worked closely with us to personalize our itinerary, and his communication was top-notch—always prompt, even during late-night hours in his time zone. His responsiveness and professionalism made planning a breeze.
Our safari guide, Willy, was equally exceptional. Incredibly polite and easy to talk to, he offered thoughtful recommendations whenever we were unsure and tailored each day to our pace and preferences—whether it was early game drives or relaxed mornings. His deep knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife, culture, history, and the Maasai people made our longer drives fly by. We had the surreal experience of seeing lions up close in Maasai Mara—so close we could have petted them (though we didn’t!). Willy, who calls Mara his “second home,” made that possible.
He also shared valuable insights for the future, including the best times to visit Kenya’s parks for optimal wildlife viewing (hint: not July–September), which we’ll be passing along to our friends and family planning their own adventures.
The Land Cruiser we had was in great condition and handled all terrains comfortably.
If you’re considering a safari, skip the foreign middlemen and book directly with a local company like Morningstar. With Dennis’s thoughtful coordination and Willy’s unmatched guiding, you’re guaranteed a phenomenal experience. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and fun. Always concerned about our well-being
Excellent service. Everything went very well.
Great communication!
Best safari ever!
I sent a quote request just one day before our trip — a truly last-minute inquiry — but UndiscoverAfrica exceeded all expectations with a meticulously planned safari that started in under 24 hours.
The communication was smooth and professional from start to finish. Our driver, Simba, was absolutely fantastic: punctual, kind, and attentive. He picked us up on time, drove us through the national park to the Botswana border, and handed us over to their trusted safari guide on the Botswana side.
During the transfer through the park, we had the chance to see buffalo, giraffes, and wild dogs. Simba would always stop the car to let us take pictures and enjoy observing the animals in their natural habitat.
Once in Botswana, we had breakfast with coffee and muffins, then embarked on a three-hour river safari, where we saw hippos, crocodiles, eagles, and impalas.
Lunch was good, really good actually!
In the afternoon, we continued with a three-hour game drive, during which we were lucky enough to see lions (twice!), elephants, kudu, giraffes, and even elephants playing in the water — a magical moment we’ll never forget.
The return trip with Simba was calm and pleasant. We even spotted zebras on the Zimbabwean side of the park. Before bringing us back home, Simba kindly stopped at a store so we could buy some things, waited patiently for us, and then drove us home. Excellent service!
The car was clean, comfortable, and odor-free.
I can’t recommend UndiscoverAfrica and Simba enough. Their attention to detail and excellent service turned what began as a last-minute booking into the most memorable and rewarding experience of our entire trip.
