Ntsimane displayed every characteristic of an exceptional guide and South African gentleman.
Patrick reached out to me 3 days before our outing to confirm time and offer additional activities. This was a pleasant surprise and appreciated. Ntsimane is an awesome guide! We had a wonderful time with him and he made Tandra's birthday outing better than expected. He was very accommodating as well. We received South African history and present day information from him. A business is only as good as the employees and the business was represented exponentially well by Ntsimane.

9 day Active Educational Safari with a 10 year old
sorry but i keptgetting the following error: please don’t write the review in all caps and had to make all lowercase after 10+ times trying… this was our first time on an african safari and our 1st time in the continent, but we are otherwise well traveled. i for one never wanted to do a safari to begin with, not wanting to inhale dust and get tossed around in a bumpy vehicle for days without exercise, but budged when hubby and daughter got interested and we could customize our itinerary due to the amazing anda african adventure staff. we probably worked on our itinerary for weeks and ended up combining several to come up with a 9 day pretty active educational safari program in tanzania which was very reasonably priced and the socially responsible way that anda constructs its itineraries made us feel good. zoe, christine and charina of anda are three powerful ladies who walk the talk. planning was a breeze and the physical and 7 hr time difference between mi and arusha didn't put a dent in anything. the lodging choices were perfect for us (nothing luxurious, but clean, local, and comfortable), we enjoyed every single one. our guides were wonderful, especially peter who is a great spotter on the wheel! we saw all the big five including the hard to see baby & mom rhino and the leopard. our itinerary included base camp 1 hike at kilimanjaro, running behind the hadzabe hunters, walking safari with wayo africa, several game drives in the serengeti, tarangire, and ngorongoro, and many cultural walks. we are still sorting through our 3000+ photos & videos. and yes, this one who was dead-against this safari would go back in a heartbeat!

Great Times!!
The Murchison Falls tour was amazing. The guide is so knowledgeable he kept us entertained and explained everything that was going on. What a beautiful place. Great memories I encourage more people to visit E.Africa the prices are fair compared to other safaris outside Africa. Wild Discoveries sure is a leader in customer service.

safari with pleasure
Before booking I contacted few travel agencies, I found Home to Africa were the quickest to reply and answer to all queries we had. from start Mr.Elias was very efficient and helpful in organizing our tour to the best one could expect. On arrival ,though i had arranged with the hotel for the pick up. we were surprised Home to Africa driver/guide Nasser waiting for us as well.
Nasser was an excellent , experienced, professional , knowledgeable person one would hope to have as an driver/guide. He did his best to show all the animals from very close range. Even though it was raining he made sure that we go and visit the waterfalls, which was amazing,.
thanks to all members of Home to Africa Tours .

Incredible Service and Attention to Customers
We booked gorilla permits through Kisoro Tours Uganda and we could not be happier with the experience. We elected to drive a rented car ourselves from Kigali to Kisoro, but were unaware that the Cyanika border closes at 8pm everyday. We reached the border at 8:45pm and were informed that we could not cross the border until the next morning at 5am, which would have put us in danger of missing our gorilla trek at the Rushaga gate of Bwindi National Park (Check in starts at 7am and Uganda's time zone is one hour ahead of Rwanda's). Dan at Kisoro tours is extremely responsive on what's app and made sure that the Uganda Wildlife Authority was not only aware of our issue, but also that our permits were changed to nearby Mgahinga National Park. We could not be happier with the switch. Mgahinga is a much quieter park than Bwindi and not as inundated with tourists. What's more the largest silverback gorilla in Uganda, Mark who weighs over 250 kgs resides in Mgahinga. We were fortunate enough to see 2 adult silverbacks, 1 juvenile silverback, 2 females and 2 baby gorillas (4 and 6 months).
Kisoro Tours and Dan in particular were extremely helpful in ensuring that we had a great trip.

Incredible African Safari Experience!!
We were incredibly impressed with Lilian, the owner! She is very professional (and, since we had the opportunity to spend some time with her, absolutely charming!). We researched several outfits from Canada and decided to go with one based in Tanzania. All initial communication was immediate and friendly. She responded to e-mails promptly, suggested itinerary, and tailored our safari to suit our interests, and our budget!! Everything happened seamlessly starting with being met at the airport when our flight was delayed, all the paperwork for the national parks was in order, and our accommodations exceeded our expectations! Our guide, David, was simply outstanding!! He is so incredibly knowledgeable: there was not a question we asked that he could not answer, complete with entertaining anecdotes, with respect to birds, wildlife, environment, and life in Tanzania. The choice of guide is so important since every waking moment is spent together. David went out of his way to make our safari comfortable and safe, to ensure that we saw the maximum of what the areas (Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongo Crater) had to offer and, in general, to take care of us. We had fun and enjoyed the easy conversations. We were so lucky to be in a reliable vehicle (others were not so fortunate!) with an exceptionally good, experienced driver! Since we were there in the dry season, we would recommend that light scarves be at the ready to cover mouth and nose as the amount of dust is almost surreal.
A six day safari met our needs. However, if it had been longer, perhaps we would have seen a rhinoceros that was more than a dot in the distance!
We would definitely recommend booking a safari with Zohar Safaris! We greatly thank Lilian and David for a truly memorable time!!

Couldn't have had a better service and a split of a more wonderful holiday
Mwema Africa Safaris is so organised when it comes to planning and actual service. The company did its best to make our 11 day trip with them an impeccable one. We felt we had 2 knowledgeable drivers/guides taking us around, from the very beginning to the very end. They spotted all sorts of animals and views for us. We even saw a rhino ;-) They gave us the opportunity to get to know them on a personal level too. We could share all sorts of ideas; from politics, education, cultures and so much more. Every single step of our journey was planned with all the necessary details. There wasn't any minute of our trip with Mwema that we felt at a loss. All questions we could ask even during the actual trip via Whatsapp. We had enough freedom to enjoy each others' company as 3 good friends travelling together, especially being the first time to Africa for us all. We used to be more impressed the more days passed with the way we were treated by Mwema. All accomodation booked for us was fine. Food was great. Service even more. I recommend Mwema to all those travelling to Africa and opting for any kind of safari. The drivers/guides are nice people with whom you can have a fantastic experience after all.
