Experienced Operator
On June 2016 I returned to Botswana for my second Safari in Botswana, and once again I booked my trip with Naga Safaris. My first trip to Botswana was in 2012 also with Naga Safaris and was so happy and satisfied with their expertise and knowledge that I decided to use them once again.
Their staff is very experienced, from guide to camp assistant to cook. It makes it a remarkable experience and have good knowledge of best sites for camping and finding game.

My dream trip come true thanks to Tanzania Choice!
I had been planning my dream trip to Tanzania since 2009 in my head. After being recommended by a friend to use TCS as my tour company, Brenda and I talked via Skype various times so that she knew exactly the type of traveler I was and the things I wanted in my trip. I knew from the very first phone call in October that I was working with a spectacular company. Her questions, attention to detail, and suggestions proved that she would design a trip that she 100% believed would be perfect for me. And boy, did she deliver!!!
From the minute we arrived, my group and I were treated with unbelievable hospitality. Brenda and Kakasii went above and beyond to show us rural life in Tanzania in their home, which included a traditional barbeque, walks in the community and campfires with family members. In addition, they coordinated our mountain guide come and check our gear! The meeting was invaluable! Being able to show Festo our supplies and have him walk through each day was us, put our nerves to rest. The following day, Brenda, Kakasii and their twins, traveled 3 hours (and 3 hours back!) with us just to set us off on our trek. Their diligence to making sure we were taken care of proved to us again that they valued their clients immensely!
After our successful climb, they waited for us with open arms to celebrate our accomplishment! The following day, we continued on to our safari! Kakasii was more than just a safari guide, he quickly became our friend as he enthusiastically showed us all the incredible animals and birds that the parks offered. Every day on the safari his passion exuded and made every day a unique and amazing experience.
Between the Safari and Zanzibar, Brenda and I designed a day in the school they support. Brenda and I worked together to construct something that would be special for both the school and for our group. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience for both parties! We finger painted, read books, sang and danced with students and teachers. The day allowed us to learn more not only about the places of Tanzania, but the people too!
Lastly, we traveled to Zanzibar. Brenda and family traveled with us to the airport as we departed. It was hard to say goodbye as this tour company had turned into friends! What started as a dream vacation turned into so much more! I was leaving Tanzania with more than the accomplishment of making it to the top to Kilimanjaro- I was leaving with new friends with unique lasting memories! For Brenda and Kakasii, it’s more than just putting some hotels together and showing you some animals; Brenda and Kakasii attend to their clients with personal attention, hospitality and warmth!

Memorable Safari
We had a wonderful 14 day safari including 4 days in Zanzibar. It turned out to be just the 2 of us with our own driver in an excellent 4 x 4, the accomodation was superb, all private ensuite. The Wildlands Safari Camp in Serengeti was just like luxury camping in the wild with wildlife right outside, not to be missed. Must mention a special thank you to Abraham our driver who worked hard to make sure we had a good time.

3 day trip to Maasai Mara
A great experience overall! They are very professional, and communicated well with us both before and through the trip. Everything went as planned, and above all, this is great value for money considering options from other safari groups.

Amazing safari, we had the big five in Tanzania
My husband and I had a fantastic safari trip in Tanzania in June 2016 organized by Ubon Safari. Our driver was very good at english and showed great interest in nature. Imani knew a lot about the animals and he was also brilliant to drive the jeep.

Awesome. I enjoyed every bit right from the pickup, accomodation,tour and drop off after the tour.
Having been my maiden time to use Trekkr as my tour operator, I can confidently say that their organization surpassed the excellency mark. From the time I initiated communication asking for quotation, there was clear and timely responses. They took time to listen to the kind of safari I wanted and gave me more insight on it. The Trekkr Team made sure that I got the best packages for the Safari and advised me on the extras that could interest me. That is the reason why I keep on going back to them and referring my friends and acquaintances.
The Team Leader, a Ms Catherine always made sure she called or texted to check on how I was fairing during the Safari. To me this was excellent since they walked with me the whole journey and made me enjoy my Safari budget to the fullest.

Well organised and good follow up.
After an initial glitch where our contact had our dates mixed up, the recovery plan worked well as we stayed in two different lodges in stead of one and were able to see more animals in two different locations.
Having said that the second lodge ( Ashnil Game Camp, our initial plan) was much nicer than the first one (Sarova Mara Game Camp). Ashnil is positioned on the edge of the Mara river and is a great location to view the Migration crossing.

Shemeji Safari & Tours made our safari into an unforgettable and exhilarating experience
Going on a safari has been one of the best journeys I have made so far thanks to Shemeji Safari & Tours. The game driver was always friendly and helpful and knew everything there is to know about mammals, birds and wildlife in general. Furthermore, the food was really good. As I am a vegetarian I thought it would be problematic but the cook took my preferences into account very well. The camp sites were basic but this made our trip all the more exciting. If you would love to go 'into the wild' you surely should go with Shemeji!

Will dfinitely come back to David, for any Kenya trip
My husband and I had a safari trip in Kenya and Tanzania from June 25-July 7th 2016.
It was en excellent experience in Kenya. We started with a pick up from the airport provided by the company at 11pm as promised, very impressed. We saw lots of animals, the driver made effort to find exotic animals for us. We even saw Mount Kilimanjaro . Tent and bed were as advertised., clean and comfortable. Food was ok. I have recommended this trip to my friends already.
Disappointed for the trip in Tanzania. It was passed on to another company on Tanzania. We have lots of problems with the land cruiser provided by the company, food was bad, accommodation was dirty. However, the driver, his name was Salee, was very experienced, careful and dedicated tour guide. Even with all the beautiful and exotic animals that we saw, we would not recommend the Tanzania trip at all.
The reason we would go back to Absolute Holiday is because , David, the person we booked the trip with is very approachable, responsible, friendly and available all the time during the trip to help to solve any problem.
He did briefing before the trip, debriefing after the trip. He listened to all our concerns and was willing to help us to solve the problems during and after our trip. We felt being treasured as a customer and enjoy the service that he provided. Will definitely go back for his reliable service.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Maulik Nathavani
Massive crater. Looks like a plain grassland from above. But once inside it, it has a variety of animals and birds. Must watch is the Rhino and the Flamingoes.
