Amazing experiences with SCB Tours and Travel!
5/5

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to SCB Tours and Travel for providing me with an unforgettable safari experience! My recent journey with them was absolutely incredible, filled with extraordinary memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime.

In July 2023, I had the privilege of embarking on a 15-day safari with SCB Tours and Travel. Despite the short notice with which we booked this adventure, SCB managed to craft a remarkable experience, a testament to their exceptional communication skills. They were proficient in English, which made our interactions enjoyable and allowed for many shared laughs.

What truly set them apart was their exceptional service. From the very beginning to the very end of our safari, we felt cared for and cherished as customers. The guides displayed an impressive depth of knowledge and an infectious passion for both the wildlife and the region, transforming the safari into an educational and exhilarating journey.

Even though we had to make last-minute arrangements, SCB Tours and Travel skillfully orchestrated a captivating tour for us at a remarkably reasonable price. It's clear that they provide excellent value for money.

In summary, my experience with SCB Tours and Travel was nothing short of extraordinary. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to fellow travelers seeking a well-organized, amicable, and thrilling safari encounter. With their outstanding commitment to service, value-driven approach, reliability, and genuine enthusiasm for what they do, I can confidently affirm that SCB Tours and Travel stands as a premier choice for anyone wishing to savor the finest that the wilderness has to offer!

Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro - Customized Tour
5/5

Had a wonderful safari experience with Qualified Tours. They customized the tour based on our tight schedule. In two days we covered two National Parks ( Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro). Saw the big 5 ( except the Leopard ), close encounters with all others.

Guide Simon was very informative and kept on feeding us with his valuable knowledge about animals,culture, and the cadastral. We started from Arusha airport did Tarangarine Safari on the first day and the next day we were at Ngorongoro .We lucky to see the big cat in both the places,saw all the other animals. Simon took us to one of the Masai villages, felt nice to interact with the locals.Although it was a tailor-made capsule safari ( due to time constraint), we covered most of the Ngrongoro carater and took back good memories from the tip.



Perfect and Punctual in timing, delivered as promised. Would recommend them for Tanzania Game Safaris. Miss you guys, See you next time.



Footnote: Yes, Nothing can be compared to Ngorongoro.

Very friendly especially for family tours
5/5

We have been to the Mara for the wilderbeast migration and the tour was really enjoyable. The services given by one Grace are exemplary . She has become a household name in our family due to her professionalism though she was let down by Fig hotel in mara which was a total disaster. The hotel doesn't observe coved 19 regulations. Would not recommend any visitor to that lodge.

We had a wonderful safari experience at Seregenti and Ngorongoro crater.

Our guide Simon allowed us to see the Big five in less than a day.

Thanks to him we were able to see many animals in private safari.

He also drives very well.

We also stayed in a wonderful lodge with great service and great food.

I highly recommend you to go through this agency which will be able to adapt to your desires and your budget.


Thanks again to Qualified tours Tanzania limited the best!

An amazing experience
5/5

In Juli 2023, we had booked an 15-Day tour with Scb Tours and Travel. It was absolutely fantastic. The tour was fully arranged and the accommodations where well taken care of. The tour guides are fluent in english and know a lot about nature and the region we were going to travel through. We also did several extra activities during our tour like getting local food or doing community tours. All in all you get great value for your money. It was an amazing unforgettable excperience!

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!
5/5

I would recommend this tour for absolutely anyone who wants a great African experience. Myself and a small group of friends did a safari through Uganda, Kenya and finishing in Tanzania a few months ago. The tour itself was amazing visiting parts of the world you never dreamed you would go and experiencing things you could only imagine like trekking the mountain gorillas in bwindi impenetrable forest or whitewater rafting in the Nile! Our tour guide James was excellent and could spot animals from anywhere!!! I saw more wildlife in those 25 days then I have seen in my life!! We went way beyond the big five and were even lucky enough hang out with Mountain Gorillas, chimps, hunting dogs, rhinos aswell as everything else! James was great company a pleasure to be around and even taught us some Swahili words aswell as an easy song!! Our cook Costa was incredible I always looked forward to eating his meals. Everyday was an adventure with something different we did plenty of game drives, boat tours, walks, bike tour, white water rafting, bungee jumping and a night game drive. The tours there are great they really are tailor made to suit you which means you get the exact experience that your looking for! Overall the trip an amazing experience!!! I will definitely return for another adventure and recommend to anyone thinking of experiencing Africa.

street food and community tours
4/5

The team at scb tours helped me and my friends from Denmark who were going to do their medical internships in Uganda. I had 4 Danish internee friends who were interested in rhino, chimps and gorilla tracking. I recommended scb tours and travel and they did an amazing work from the planning , effectiveness in communication. The well detailed itinerary, when it came to hotel bookings. Every hotel was on point ,food were delicious ,and my friends liked local food and the street Rolex (chappati rolled in fried eggs ) the driver and the guide were top notch.
Though they have to improve on their tour van as it broke down twice ,though they made sure that no activity was missed ,apart from that the trip went on well and our memories were captured as promised ,lastly the community tours ,the people of bigodi were the best especially the banana man ,who makes juice and gin or alcohol out of bananas plus the medicine man and the the ladies who performed traditional dances for us ,and displayed their weaving skills

In summary I would recommend scb tours and travel to my foreign friends ,penpals and medical internees
Thanks

Cape Town and Safari - 2 Weeks Of Bliss In South Africa
5/5

My husband and I were more than a little skeptical when we purchased 2 weeklong vacation packages in South Africa, back in 2013, at an invitation only event in Sarasota, Florida. The Travel Ambassador who represented the tour operator, Go Touch Down Travel and Tours, and her Manager, made us an offer that seemed too good to be true - but we took a deep breath and decided to take the plunge. Both their Cape Town and Safari Packages included almost everything one could ask for ... all ground-transportation, meals, accommodations, all excursions (and there were stacks of these) ... and even gratuity at the amazing restaurants we would visit ... plus a tour guide for both weeks, and a tracker during the safari week ... and even a South African cell phone, so that we were constantly in touch with our guide and family back in the US could reach us. Best of all were the terms. Firstly they gave us a fantastic promotional price at the event, that saved us thousands of dollars overall . Secondly, they asked only for a small 12% down-payment, and gave us 36 months to pay-off the balance, interest free! Well, we simply could not say 'no', but understandably, until we actually took the trip, we still had a few doubts.

Well, the reality was as good, if not better than, what we had been promised. Yes the flight was long, and at times the bar service was a little slow, but that had nothing to do with the tour operator, as we flew Delta from Atlanta, using our frequent flyer miles. As we touched down in Cape Town however, we were greeted by our smiling guide for the week, who took us under his wing, and made us feel like family.

We had two other couples in our group for the Cape Town week, one from the UK and the other from Toronto, Canada, and we quickly all became great friends (and have stayed in-touch via facebook ever since). My personal Cape Town highlight was our visit to Robben Island and learning about Nelson Mandela's incarceration there. Second favorite for my husband and me were the amazing restaurants we visited, followed by out trip up table mountain and then the visit to Hermanus.

The Safari week was also outstanding. The resorts, towns and sights we visited were all superb and the memories will be etched in my mind forever. The 3 days we spent at Kapama Private Game Reserve, managing to see and photograph 4 of the Big Five (we unfortunately never got to see Leopard, but our trekker did find their 'spoor'), were the highlight of the Safari week. Again the meals, transportation, game drives, and accommodations were simply superb, and we made more friends with whom we have remained in touch ever since.

Go Touch Down Travel And Tours offered outstanding communications both before, during and after the tours, and excellent service all round. For anyone thinking of visiting South Africa for the first time, or who is looking for an all inclusive, activity packed stay, this company will be hard to beat - and their prices and terms are simply unmatched by anything we have ever seen anywhere else. Unless you are prepared to pay a lot, lot more, we would recommend this company for all round value, outstanding service and unbeatable terms.
