Informative, personable and engaging.
From the get go, we have been at ease with the abundance of preparation that was organised for us from the taxi from the airport, to the room that was kindly booked for us to simply shower and ready ourselves for the return flight.
We were well entertained, well fed, and well informed on the animals. Not once did we feel like we were with a safari guide, we felt we were on a great adventure with a new found friend.
Value for money, for me you can’t put a price on the quality of the experience we had, but yes worth every penny and more.
Not once did we have any second to doubt anything about the safari, the service or our guide, Eli was so welcoming from the get go.
No doubt you’d be comparing safari companies and tours, but I can assure you that the time we spent on this experience is incomparable, apples and oranges. Night and day.
I can’t stress enough how amazing and unforgettable this safari trip was, thanks to Eli and ‘the belly doctor’

Chrizaan Troch was wonderful to work with, which resulted in a memorable and amazing trip!
Our Africa Safari trip will forever be one of the most memorable and wonderful trips we have taken. Words cannot begin to explain the amazing wildlife we got to see and experience up close. Experiencing these beautiful animals in their natural habitat was beautiful and humbling. Our trackers/guides did an amazing job, not only in tracking, but educating us on the wildlife. Besides going on several safaris, we also visited Victoria Falls, which is majestic in its own right. A definite must see. We also experienced several river rides, which were beautiful and calming, and another way to engage with the wildlife up close. We began our Safari trip in Cape Town, in which we had a very pleasant stay and tours of the city and Table Mountain. The sites are amazing!! I have to say, though, what made our trip very memorable were the people we came in contact with. They were so friendly, beautiful and very helpful. This unforgettable trip was made possible with the help of Chrizaan. Every destination we arrived to, we were greeted with transport, a tour guide and we felt so well taken care of. Everything flowed so smoothly. Our group is forever thankful to Discover Africa Safaris.

Beautiful Memorable Safari
Galilaya Expedition, and it was a truly unforgettable experience.
I wanted to plan a memorable adventure with my partner and discovered Galilaya through Safari Bookings after reaching out to several operators. I chose Galilaya because they were the most responsive and accommodating, offering an itinerary that perfectly matched our preferences.
The booking process was smooth and efficient. Both Benaiah and Emiliana were incredibly helpful, responding promptly via email and WhatsApp. They provided excellent support not only during the planning phase but also throughout the trip itself.
Our safari group included four other guests, and we were fortunate to have Philis as our guide. He was a fantastic host—enthusiastic, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. His extensive experience ensured we visited the best spots for wildlife viewing, and thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five.
We stayed at three high-quality accommodations during the safari:
- Country Lodge Karatu – A charming lodge set in beautiful surroundings, with warm and welcoming staff.
- Friends Serengeti Camp – A luxury tented camp in a secluded location, offering close-up wildlife encounters and a truly immersive experience.
- Ngorongoro Safari Lodge – A comfortable lodge with stunning views of the lake and attentive staff who made us feel at home after the day’s adventure.
I wholeheartedly recommend Galilaya to anyone planning a safari holiday. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a memorable experience truly set them apart.

One stop shop for all your safari requirements! Highly recommended!
After much research we decided to book our much awaited Safari holiday with Splendid Vacations. Alice was on hand to help tailor make the itinerary that best suited us. She was extremely patient and accommodating, which resulted in a seamless experience once we got to Kenya.
We booked our stays at Sweetwaters Serena Camp(Ol Pejeta Conservancy), Sawela Lodges(Nakuru) & Sarova Mara Game camp( Masai Mara). Impeccable rooms, food and service at each stay.
Any request or clarification we needed during our stay was promptly addressed by Alice.
Our tour guide/driver for the entire trip was Steven. Such a calm gentleman with a ton of information about his country, an apt cultural ambassador! Large spacious Land cruiser, with water provided every day. He was very accommodating with our requests as well.Because of the excellent pace of the program, we were able to connect with locals and not always be rushing to see the next thing. Steven took us on several game drives to try and spot the elusive Leopard!
Overall, we're very glad that we booked with Splendid Vacations. They left no stone unturned to make this the holiday of a lifetime!

A fantastic personal experience
What an amazing experience! We used Kiboko for a 3 night trip to the Masai Mara. The booking process with Jane was very smooth and she was always available to answer any questions that I had and the response times were very quick and everything was well communicated. Our tour guide Samuel was truly amazing, he was so friendly and so knowledgable about all of the animals as well as having a great eye to be able to spot so many, including a very sneaky leopard! Our accommodation at Sopa lodge was fantastic as well, all the rooms very clean with great food and lovely communal areas. Kiboko always had a great personal touch, leaving the Masai Mara we had seen 4 out of the big 5 (only the rhino missing) and our guide Samuel said that Nairobi national park was a good place to spot rhinos. We asked if he would be able to guide us round there and within a few days we had a second trip lined up with Kiboko. I can’t recommend Kiboko enough for a once in a lifetime safari experience like we had with them.

the best experience
We were on safari with "Soles Tours" from May 22nd to 27th, and I highly recommend taking the safari with "Soles Tours" as they were excellent with us... they met all our requirements and more.
I highly recommend traveling in May as the weather is perfect, cool in the morning at 15°C and hot in the afternoon at 26°C. Don't be afraid of the rain, as it's sporadic, occasional, and not significant. However, the sky is changeable and provides beautiful views. I'm making this comment because Google is full of information recommending June and beyond. The truth is, there aren't as many tourists in May, which allows for more peace of mind everywhere. You'll have access to hotels, trails, and viewpoints.
Our guide was an excellent professional named "Junior," whose last name I unfortunately lost, but if you can, ask for him. He's super professional and attentive to your every need. He takes photos, explains everything very well, and goes the extra mile to ensure you'll see all the animals. He speaks six languages. He took us to visit the Massai Mara, giving us a unique experience thanks to how he manages to make the whole experience with the Massai a reality.
At Soles Tour Agency, I was assisted by a woman named Happiness George, who was the one who knew how to put together the entire tour, taking us to excellent hotels, unique in their design, understanding that we weren't just looking for luxury and comfort but also for a taste of the African (Tanzanian) style. I mention this because we didn't want boring, luxurious hotels, but rather unique experiences, and he delivered.
We toured Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Serengeti North, Central Serengeti-Seronera.
We booked a private safari for both of us, and it was a great choice, as you had all the comforts and were able to customize your time at each location, along with several other options.
The jeep was cleaned every night and worked perfectly. The seats were very comfortable, equipped with USB ports, bottle holders, blankets, binoculars, and no annoying noises. Everything worked properly.

Unforgettable, safe, and seamless—Nicholas made this content trip a dream!
My trip to Uganda was nothing short of incredible. I came to create content, and Nicholas made it his top priority to ensure I had everything I needed—from reliable guides to safe, seamless logistics. Despite it being low season, I had amazing wildlife viewings and felt like royalty the entire time. Every request I made was granted without hesitation. I’d absolutely return and trust All In Africa Safaris with every detail again!

The communication is smooth and responsible
I booked the trip just five days in advance, but everything went smoothly. They gave good advice and our driver Endeini was also a very reliable guide.

A safari experience that's hard to forget!
The five-day safari has come to a perfect end! The Big Five of Africa have been collected. The guide Norton brother has excellent driving skills Several times the car was stuck in the mud, and he could turn danger into safety. He always found animals accurately, and every time we saw the best view. Staying in at the Ngoro camp, he also reminded us to close our suitcases to prevent things from being lost. This is a somewhat compulsive guide. Every morning before departure you can see the car covered with mud the day before being washed spotlessly. Chef Suleiman is also very responsive. Every meal has freshly cooked meat and fresh fruit. pancakes he made are especially delicious! And he is also a compulsive chef. Every meal's tableware and tablecloths are very clean. I would also like to thank. Grace. She was very patient in communicating the details with us in the early stage. On the day of going to the airport, she also arranged two very spacious business cars for. It was too considerate! In short, it was a very wonderful experience. I look forward to having the opportunity to meet again next time！

Our African Adventure
We are 4 friends who planned and booked our African Adventure with Clare from Wild Wings. All the way through planning, confirming and throughout our journey Clare was professional, experienced and friendly. Our tour guide in Kruger was the amazing Nicky. Nicky was a bundle of energy, enthusiasm and passion. Her knowledge was vast and she made sure we managed to get the best pictures.
Our private Game Reserve was Molhalbetsi and that too was great. We went to both sides of Victoria Falls and had different experiences. The accommodation Clare chose for us was perfect. We also went to Chobe and the Jackalberry Lodge and safari gave us another worthwhile experience.
All in all, the flights, accommodation, guides and experiences were exceptional. Thanks for all your assistance. Congratulations on your 20th celebrations, it is well earned.
