Excellent Safari to Mikuni National Park
We are VERY satisfied with the trip to Mikumi National Park and Angalia Luxuary Tented Camp. Our driver and guide Nestor was excellent, He was kind, positive, supportive, drove very well, and was very clever to find animals eg Lions ( we saw 15 in Three Days!), showed a great knowledge etc, We will especially recommend him for trips!
The Angalia Luxuary Tent Camp was also superb! A wonderful Place, very comfortale, good food and service.... Angalia can really be recommended!
Best wishes,
Ulla and Johnny Ludvigsson, Linköping, Sweden

The best experience!
I went traveling in Tanzania for about one month with a friend. Nature bound Africa was exellent in assisting us before and during our trip. They organized for us the Kilimanjaro 5 days excursion and the Safari in the Gorongoro national park. They have been really professional and helpful. All the guide also speak fluently English. Definitely recommend this tour operator.

it was like a dream..
We were 25 students on vacation with this company and all we can say is it was like a dream seeing live the female lions chasing the buffalo catching and finally slaughtering it but rather waiting for the male lion to come and eat flesh inside like utensils etc. it was like a dream visiting Oldupai Gorge/the cradle of mankind and getting amazing history, it was like a dream visiting and dancing with young maasai/ol morani, it was like a dream descending into ngorongoro crater with beautiful wall with green natural grass carpet, it was like a dream walking through the base of mount Kilimanjaro... it was like a dream hunting with the bushmen resembling those of the god must be crazy...
We have many memories and stories to tell but we only finalize by recommending this fantastic company for your safari to Tanzania...

Best Trip
We have been longing to visit Africa and East Africa to be precise. After a lot of searches we settled for Kenya Walking Safaris. We wanted to witness the world’s famous wildebeest migration which happens in Masaki Mara. We were four photographers and we were much interested in taking photos rather than the comfort. It was a great experience to see the beasts migrate to other side of Tanzania. As our program had Serengeti included, we asked Mr. Otieno to cancel it and instead take us to Samburu N R. There is a group of tourist that told as what was in Masai Mara was more or less the same, so there we no need to travel to Serengeti through the bad road just for continuation of what is Masai Mara. In Samburu, we were not disappointed as there were plenty of different animals. Our driver Peter was the best and he had a lot of information. He was fluent and also very mature. Our Cook Jacob also was great. He took care of us for those days in the parks. My testimony is endless but would advise anyone wishing to visit East Africa to book with KWSS. Great job guys, you deserve so many stars.

Heartfelt thanks for an amazing holiday, superbly organised and executed by Rose
This was a superb holiday thoroughly enjoyed by all four of us. Everything was just marvellously organised and went like clockwork, even in the most remote reaches of Botswana. The properties Rose chose were very special and so diverse. Nanette at Ghoha Hills in the Savuti was a standout for her truly caring manner. The appointments at Madikwe Hills Game Lodge were six star!!
We would thoroughly recommend The Luxury Safari Company to anyone looking for a wonderful holiday full of special moments and lasting memories. Rose is an absolute professional you can trust. She listens closely to your wish list, is always prompt in her replies and she knows her stuff.

Day out in Pilansberg
I had a weekend in Pretoria on a business trip and at short notice sought out a trip to Pilansberg, which was recommended by colleagues. I have done a fair amount of safari travel in South Africa, but not to Pilansberg. I sought quotes from 3 agencies. One couldn't help, one had a complicated booking system, but Jason Pollard at Deeprift Ventours answered promptly and after a short email chat we had settled on a day trip, leaving at 0400 at my request.
Jason arrived promptly and we made it to Pilansberg at park opening. The temperature poked 40c later in the day, so we had the benefit of several hours of warm but not hot game viewing. Jason was extremely knowledgeable, but not a "pushy" guide. We chatted about the flora and fauna in the reserve and managed to get good sightings of all the big 5 less buffalo. The bird life was very good as well, and the hides at the various dams offered views of a variety of avian species.
We stopped at a game lodge for a very good lunch, and then gently made our way out of the Park (it was now very hot and most of the animals had sought out shade out of view). We were back in Pretoria by 1630.
An excellent day with a professional and generous guide. Highly recommended. I travelled on my own with Jason in a car, but I presume for larger groups Deeprift would provide a minibus or larger vehicle.

The Armadillo Safari & Adventure Tour far exceeded my expectations!!
The Armadillo Safari & Adventure Tours did an excellent job hosting our safari experience. The safari vehicle was clean, air conditioned ,and comfortable. The food, natural habitat, the animals: "The Big Five and more..... were over the top. How precious to see the baby elephants move along with the adult herd! we saw rhinos: A rare black rhino prancing down the field! The weather was beautiful and rather cooled down a little bit at night. I recommend The Armadillo Safari & Adventure Tour in Kruger National Park, South Africa! You wont be disappointed!!

Fantastic Uganda birding trip focussing on the Albertine Rift Endemics
The trip was my second birding adventure with Jungle Safaris. From the minute I approached Paul about going birding in Uganda again, he was very enthusiastic about it and proposed an itinerary where we could find birds that we missed out the last time. I wanted to see more of the Albertine Rift Endemics and also get a first impression of the Guinea-Congo Forests biome endemics in Semliki National Park. The trip was very well organized from the beginning to the end, from carefully selected accommodations to visiting birding hot spots en route while travelling to the next destination, also using local guides to get the most out of it. As a birding guide and person, I can highly recommend Paul – he is reliable and friendly as well as extremely good at spotting birds not only while driving or in the open, but also in the forest by recognizing faint movements in the vines or by hearing distant bird songs in the canopy. With his guidance, I was able to see many rare forest and woodland species. The birding highlight of the trip was seeing Chapin’s Flycatcher in the Buhoma area of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park where we had a wonderful day walking in the rain forest. Overall, the trip was very memorable – it was the kind of experience that you want to get again and again. I love birding – and Paul has the knowledge and the passion to show his customers his beautiful country and its birds, always going the extra mile. I can’t wait to go to Uganda again with Jungle Safaris.

Cannot imagine exploring Kruger in any other way
The tour was absolutely amazing. Chris was so great and made us feel comfortable. The vehicle was incredible, the food was so much better than expected, the tents were high quality and we had an amazing time. Highly recommend.
