Knowledgeable and attentive with excellent communication skills
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights/6day Kruger safari with Shoes at Khalanga Safaris. Pre trip communication was excellent and the accommodation,food and guided drives were top quality. Shoe’s knowledge of the park and its numerous inhabitants is most impressive and his description of animal behaviours was wonderful. We were a party of 3 adults all with experience of African safaris in the past and agreed that Shoes and Khalanga was the perfect match for us. Would recommend for an authentic Kruger Safari experience.

Very nice and fun to be with
I had such a great time on this tour! The guide was super friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. You could tell they really cared about making sure everyone had a good experience. I learned so much and felt like I saw the place through a local’s eyes. Highly recommend!

Philip was AWESOME! Absolutely the best in the business without doubt.
Out our started with Steve and Philip meeting us at our hotel and getting us safely on our way. Philip was warm and friendly from the beginning, his knowledge about EVERYTHING related to Kenyan safaris was superb. He was warm and engaging, had a great sense of humour and fabulous driving skills so we could see all the beautiful animals up close, it was amazing.
From when we first reached out to Mimsoft, Steve was incredibly efficient in answering all our emails and showed a great deal of patience in addressing all our queries. Everything on the tour was exactly as he had promised, and honestly we cannot recommend Mimsoft Tours, Steve and Philip highly enough. We did heaps of research before we went to make sure we were picking the right tour company for us, and it worked out perfectly. Thanks again Steve and Philip (and Mac!), we had such a beautiful African adventure.

Top nature destination
We lover the scenery on the south coast, as well as the national parks.
Great thing about the Cape area is the diversity in turistic experiences with culture and history, also galleries and art.

Amazing wildlife and scenery
We spent 9 nights in Botswana in the Okavango delta region in late July-early Aug 2025. We have done many safaris in different countries, but this was our first time in Botswana and first experience in a mobile camping. We truly loved it. Our safari was organised by Kingfisher Safaris.
We flew from Maun to Khwai River concession where we spent our first 3 nights. Our camping site was at the margin of Mbudi river, where we had a relaxing mokoro trip. This place is magical, wildlife sightings are great, we saw loads of hippos (George, a solitary one was our neighbour!), large groups of lions with cubs (during day and night drives) and also feeding on a zebra (we didn't see the kill), wild dogs with very young puppies, buffalos, wildebeests and many antelopes. We had a 45-min helicopter flight with Helicopter Horizon to have a better overview of the delta and it was just amazing. This was the busiest area in terms of number of cars we encountered during the drives of the three we visited. In some occasions there were too many cars on a sighting for my liking, particularly if involved leopard or lion. We then moved to Mababe (Chobe National Park) for another 3 nights and the wind was quite cool, particularly in the morning. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing, the very dark sky (new moon) was perfect for stargazing and we saw many shooting stars, satellites and a very clear milky way. We saw hienas, large herds of giraffes and elephants with very young ones, many interesting birds, roan antelope, and a lot more, but not big cats (probably due to the cold spell). Our last camp site was Xiini in Moremi Reserve, where we saw leopards three times (including walking straight to our camp and in the evening catching an owl from its nest on a tree just on the side of our camp). We also saw cheetahs twice (once with cubs feeding on an impala) and many lions, including one pride of 9 lions encountering a herd of elephants... And more. This is a beautiful location with loads to see!

1st class operator could not fault the care and attention to detail during any part of our trip.
We felt very cared for and looked after from the minute we arrived in Africa. Not once were we let down in any way.
Frank was very good in Johannesburg especially getting us promptly through check in for our flight home when Qantas cancelled our flight and we had the chaos of two flights departing for Sydney at the one time the following day.
Mortimer in Zambia/Zimbabwe could not have done more for us if he tried he even ferried us to and fro at night to restaurants.
Garth in Cape Town was so very knowledgeable, he certainly gave us a good insight as to how things are and have been in the past.
Our accommodations were excellent in every stopover, could not fault them in anyway.
Game drives were beyond our expectations, we saw all of the big five and ugly five. Our guides were so easy to get on with especially Steven in Umkumbe, our two teenage grandchildren formed a special bond with him. Cautious in Botswana was equally good with a quick wit and sense of humour.
Darren you have been wonderful through out our whole experience, when we advised you what we would like you came back with excellent suggestions. Your attention to detail is spot on and we would recommend you and your company to anyone we know thinking of travelling to Africa.
Thank you so much

Brian was a great guide, always on time. Very personalised, unique experience
Blessing was extremely helpful, as I had difficulty trying to decide where to go iniatally.
We were a family of 10 and had an amazing two weeks, booked through Africazim Travel. Met at the airport by Stanford - our guide for the whole trip - poor man, but he was incredible, very knowledgeable, punctual, polite, humorous, caring and a very good driver, which was essential, as the roads are terrible, to say the least! Our accommodation was great, weather perfect, didn’t get to see the Big 5, but we saw plenty of wonderful African wildlife. Next time - (I hope there is) we won’t attempt so much distance, but stay at each place an extra day. Everyone loved it, as it was their first taste of Africa. I’m sure they’ll be back, and definitely go through Africazim again. Well done Blessing, Sharon, Pamela and Stanford. Cheers Jane

excellent job and efficient work～
My Tanzania safari was nothing short of incredible! From the breathtaking wildlife sightings in the Serengeti to the stunning views of Ngorongoro Crater, every moment was magical. Our guide Gift was extremely knowledgeable, spotting the Big 5 and sharing fascinating facts about the animals and ecosystem. The lodges were comfortable, the food delicious, and the entire team made sure we had an unforgettable experience. If you're dreaming of an authentic African safari, this is the one to book. Highly recommend!"
And thanks again to my best friend Raymond who has been greatly helpful and Gift, our guide, who has been doing wonderful jobs for whole 5days, and Fidelis, our 1 day guide, who keeps us climbing the mountain and makes us laugh all the way~ It’s really a wonderful journey.
