The perfect honeymoon!
We're used to making up holidays as we go along, and doing things on more of a budget, however after deciding to go to the Okavango Delta for our Honeymoon decided to let someone else organise it and allow ourselves to totally relax. Mark at Gondwana was incredibly helpful from day 1, allowing us to repeatedly alter his suggested itinerary and answering all our questions while we did so.
Mark met us personally at Maun airport (with a bottle of fizz!) which was hugely appreciated, and from then on we didn't need to think about a thing. All the transfers were on time and comfortable - especially a specially requested morning flight into the Delta, and the accommodation was perfect, especially Pom Pom which was incredible! We're so glad we used Gondwana and had the most amazing and relaxing honeymoon as a result!

We could meet a great number of animals in their natural environment all day long. The suggested itinerary was clear and exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend Kombi Nation Tour

Zimbabwe is worth to visit more than once
Twice I've traveled in Zimbabwe with strong support of Nyati Travel. The vast landscapes and national parks are great, in the rural villages you will experience an authentic African atmosphere, and the people are extremely friendly. Like no other Nyati Travel knows the country, and as nobody else Nyati's mixed Dutch/Zimbabwean management (André, Goof and Elisabeth) knows to make a connection between what Western tourists expect and what Zimbabwe has to offer. Zimbabwe has not yet been discovered (and affected) by mass tourism. Even in the touristic highlights (Matopos, Eastern Highlands, Chimanimani, Zimbabwe ruins, Hwange, Victoria Falls) it is quiet. After two visits for sure I will go to Zimbabwe for a third time.

Extremely disappointing with a lack of respect and courtesy from driver-guide
Driver/guide Haron was rude to us, rolled his eyes if we asked to have the engine turned off to watch wildlife, and raised his voice at me when we chose not to visit a Maasai Village (perhaps he was not getting a cut of the $100). I trusted to go with this company as the Mt Kili guide had been recommended to me had set this tour up; this was a mistake and despite the Kili guide tipping Haron $100 in advance to take good care of me, the customer service was poor. Perhaps Haron was not expecting to be called out on Dec 31 New Year's Eve . . . regardless, the other couple and myself treated poorly.

Fantastic tour operator and extremely helpful/informative
Myself and my wife travelled with Umubano Tours in March 2015 and we have nothing but good things to say about the company or their staff.
All enquiries before the trip were made with Herbert, who answered all questions (big or small) and also was also willing to answer questions which were not about the tour.
Herbert was willing to structure our tour around what we wanted to do and there were no pressures to stay to a standard/ready-made tour, although there were some example itineraries and Herbert's assistance to guide us. A variety of hotels/lodges were also offered subject to our budget.
Once all aspects had been agreed, a full detailed itinerary was provided along with some additional useful information about the country itself.
On arrival we were met by Bosco who was to be our guide for the next five days. From beginning to end Bosco was a great guide, being informative and helpful throughout our stay - he would also always make sure that we were well fed!
In addition to the information about the area/gorillas, Bosco was also kind enough to share his personal experiences as well, including those of the Genocide, gorillas and his (many) children.
Wherever we went with Bosco we always felt safe and welcomed - especially as Bosco seemed to know everyone!
If anyone is considering using Umubano Tours I would have no hesitation in recommending them as highly as possible.
Thanks again for the memories!

Kids loved it
The luxury safari package offered by Safari Hub was exquisite! I cannot stress how much our family enjoyed it; the kids also had a wonderful time.

We will never travel SA without Pembury !
As we traveled SA with a honeymoon itinery from Pembury in 2013 (Garden Route) and were more than satisfied we decided to come back in 2014 and travel from Cape Town to the Kalahari and back. It was an awesome and unique trip again and we were really satisfied.
Communication with Kerry was very easy and prompt via email, so was the payment.
We can only recommend them!

Great Experience with Patrick
One of our best experience! Patrick is a young and reactive contact and he delivered a great service during our stay. We organized a 4 days/3 nights in Mikumi and everything was what we expected..with so much fun!
He is local so he can easily also provide good reccomendation for any need it might occur during your vacation.
If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, do ot miss Nodven Safaris (f.k.a. Parota Safaris)!

Bernhard was an excellent guide and shared his extensive knowledge and experience with us.
Bernhard is an excellent guide and showed that he knew the park and the animals extremely well.He freely shared his knowldge and took us to all parts of the park.He also distinguished himself from the other rangers by providing personalised service (teas and coffees) and allowed us use of his binoculars. He is highly recommended and I will not hesitate to use him again! Well done Bernhard!!

The professional and friendly servic from Campofrio Safari in January 2015 was exceptional.
Over a six month period in 2014 I spent time communicating via the Internet with Oliver for a 14 day safari for 2 couples tailored to our needs starting in Kenya through tanzania and ending in Zanzibar.
We could not fault the service before during and after the safari.
The standard of the guides,accommodation ( only asked for 3 star but much better than that) and transport were above our expectations.
I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
