Best experience of my life
Just completed a 5 day / 4 night safari with my girlfriend in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. I can’t stress enough how much we loved it, it was our first safari and I’d go as far to say that it was life changing. My girlfriend and I both really love animals and nature and this is something that we’ve wanted to do for a long time, even so, I would’ve never imagined just how incredible it would be.
We saw the big five multiple times, even the rare leopard not even 4 meters away. The accommodation in the tent camps was fantastic as well.
Our guide, Goodluck, made the trip ultra special and I feel lucky to have spent 5 days with him. He is super passionate about animals and conservation and has tons of knowledge and experience. Goodluck is really a great guy and feel that we really connected—he even said that our experience was a 10/10 as we saw lots of black rhinos, close-up hippos, cheetahs, and the leopard. He’s also an incredible driver and knew how to avoid getting stuck when multiple jeeps around us struggled due to the rainy season.
If I could change anything, I would’ve wanted to stay in a tent camp for one more night instead of the first accommodation, which was a lodge. It was nice, but I would’ve preferred to spend the entire trip in nature. We knew this was the case and Serengeti Green is happy to change as you’d like, just a personal recommendation.
Thanks again for everything, sad that it is over.

Best experience of our lives!
From the start, communication with Serengeti Green was seamless and prompt. They addressed all our questions and customized the itinerary to match our preferences perfectly.
The whole Seregenti Green team was fantastic, the whole office came to pick us up from our hotel on day one and gave us safari hats that my boyfriend and I actually used the entire time. We noticed that no other tour companies had given hats, simple, but actually a great add.
The safari experience was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Goodluck, was fantastic, and thanks to him (and some luck) we spotted so many animals. The accommodations and the lunch meals were also excellent. Great value for money — I really recommend it.

Professional
We chose Suricata because it had the highest rating among the tour companies, and it was the right choice. Our guide was Freddy and he was very professional. Thank to him, we could see many animals including the Big 5. We were impressed with his knowledge and he was happy to answer any questions we had. We had a 3 year old daughter with us and he also cared her well during the tour.
Suricata boma lodge, which we stayed in Lake Manyala was Asa group hotel of Suricata. This was the best hotel I had stayed in Tanzania. We would definitely recommend Suricata and choose them again next time.

Dreaming of a safari? Escape the Ordinary!
Our trip with Safari Nuggets was outstanding. We chose their 7 Day Off The Beaten Path Safari, and it was the perfect fit for our travel style and budget.
Our guide and driver Matthew was incredibly kind and extremely good at placing us in the best photo spots. We saw every animal we had hoped for! Matthew got me up close to a cheetah, which was top of my personal list :) We watched a lionness hunt zebra, lion cubs playing, rhinos walking around, a leopard stalking a dik-dik, and more giraffes and elephants than I could count. We even got to visit the Hadzabe and Datoga, which was unforgettable in itself. Amazing--and all in one week!
We travel regularly, primarily on our own. I mention that to emphasize how Safari Nuggets met all of my expectations and more. The accomodations and food were perfect for us, the itinerary was well organized, and our guide was simply awesome. The drives are long, and like Matthew told us, the vehicle makes or breaks the trip. It was a well equipped, comfortable safari jeep that we had zero problems with.
If you can't tell by now, I'll say it plainly: I would recommend Safari Nuggets to everyone! I can't thank them enough for making our trip so special.

Great experience with private tour in Namibia
We had a great experience in the private Namibia tour we booked with Impala Tours. Communication was good and they were flexible and accommodating to the requests made beforehand and during the tour. We went to Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha, with Andre as our guide. Andre is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional as guide and tour organizer. Very much recommended.

Exceptional memories
I had an amazing tour of Masai Mara/Serengeti/Ngorongoro with Spirit of Kenya/Soul of Tanzania. Their experienced guides Charles/Dennis knew exactly where to find all the animals. I even got close-up photos of two lions in the act. How lucky was that!

MoAfrika was Invisible - in a good way.
We booked a 3 day tour at the River Lodge in Kapama Reserve. I only interacted with MoAfrika over WhatsApp before the event. Everything went well. The staff of the River Lodge were excellent. We never met or interacted with MoAfrika during the trip, but no need too and no complaints. The Lodge staff met us at the airport and were expecting us at the lodge. Everything (meals, safaris, facilities, ... ) was great without it: no travel hiccups or surprises. MoAfrika took care of our air travel within South Africa too. Everything was seamless and excellent.
Highly recommended.

Safari of a lifetime with Joagro
We recently had the pleasure of going on a private safari tour with Joagro and it was incredible! From the moment we started, Jonas tailored the itinerary to our interests, ensuring we had a fantastic time and saw everything we wanted to. He was incredibly accommodating and welcoming, making our experience here special.
Our guide Petar, was also exceptional, and we can't praise him enough! He went above and beyond to make our dreams come true during the whole trip, making sure we didn't miss any of the incredible sights. His keen eye helped us spot wildlife we never would have seen on our own, including hidden cheetah cubs and so many lions! His knowledge on the local culture and animals made the experience very enriching. His warm friendly personality and genuine enthusiasm made every moment enjoyable. He was always ready to answer our questions and we learnt a lot from him, of both the local culture and wildlife!
Overall, it was a truly fantastic trip, with a very friendly team dedicated to making our experience fantastic. 100% recommendable, thank you Joagro!

This left me with the best memories that made me cry.
The experience was five months ago, but I think it happened yesterday. I hate writing reviews like this very much, but I think I should write a review on this, so I'm writing it today.
Our driver, Riziki, treated us like close friends, and we traveled together as if we were to visit a friend's house and look around the nearby. If you want to travel with a friend that is not an owner-species relationship, I highly recommend here. Sopai gives you whatever you want on the best terms, those things disappointed me while talking to other companies. We were a family of three, but we did a private tour and the price was rather cheaper than a group tour.
It just makes me want to tip him. For your information, during the trip, Riziki didn't say a word about the tip.
Rajab, the representative, seems to be a much better person than the picture.
Totally, this left me with the best memories that made me cry.

We had a wonderful time in Namibia.
The organization, handling and support of our vacation by Nature Travel Namibia was perfect and left no room for improvement.
Our guide Delano pointed out many special features and animals that we would never have noticed without him and took us to places that we would not have been able to get to without him. His company was incredibly committed and courteous.
The composition of the entire tour, the day trips and the selection of lodges was without exception a fitting and positive surprise.
In our opinion, it was the right decision to do this trip with a personal guide. It gave us plenty of time to enjoy the vacation ourselves, to concentrate on the beauty of nature and we had someone with us who took care of everything else. Great.
