Jartan Lazier: safari guide extraordinaire having knowledge, humor, and the spotting eyes of a hawk.
I was fortunate to spend three weeks this past autumn on safari tour guided by Jartan Lazier, owner and head of African Safari Collection. In herding our group of ten through numerous animal preserves and cities of East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) he was outstanding in fostering an atmosphere of education, relaxation, and enjoyment of that extraordinary land, it's sights, and of course the wildlife which was the focus of this trip. He has an outgoing, friendly personality focused on delivering to his charges what they came for.. Great sense of humor along with a broad and detailed knowlege of the animals, their nature, and their various habitats. And while cautioning against the certainty of seeing particular creatures, he delivered every time we took a game viewing drive. He had an insane talent for spotting animals near and far, including on one occasion the rare and elusive bat-eared fox! Accommodations were outstanding, food out of this world (nearly every meal, including breakfast, a buffet), and numerous unforgettable exposures to people and culture. The click speaking hunter/gatherer tribe we met were a highlight.
Highest accolades, I would travel again with Jartan in a heartbeat!

This was the best experience ever!!
From pick up to dropping at your stay, everything was perfect!
The tour guide was very experienced and could answer all of our questions. We saw the Big 5!! We were close to the animals and if we wanted to stay longer we could. The campings where we stayed were also very nice and in a beautiful area!
So in conclusion 10/10!!

Very efficient, reliable and stress free.
The transport was on time and stress free, it was a long journey, around 5 hours however we made regular stops for snacks/bathroom breaks.
The camp was very clean and had all the facilities we needed. Food was great and included vegetarian options.
The camp managers Izzy and Duan were extremely welcoming, they spent a lot of time with the guests making us feel comfortable.
I would highly recommend this to anyone considering a safari, the staff were all amazing it was a great experience and reasonably priced.

Such a great holiday
Booked a 5 day Kruger safari through Wayne Barnes at Kruger Park Travel and couldn't have wished for a better experience. Wayne was so helpful in arranging the holiday I wanted and it was more than I imagined it would be. Accommodation was arranged at Kruger Adventure Lodge and what a place that was - just 15 minutes drive from Kruger. I cannot thank Wayne and Kruger Park Travel enough for arranging this holiday and I would highly recommend them.

Top-notch tour operator with exceptional services and expert guides ensuring a great safari.
Tanzania is a land of wonders, and my recent safari with Ngekewa Tours and Safaris truly encapsulated that magic. From the moment our adventure began, every detail was meticulously planned, always on time, with an exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging tour guide who brought every landscape to life.
Exploring the Ngorongoro Conservation Area was nothing short of breathtaking. The vast, untouched vistas and the vibrant array of wildlife made every moment feel like a scene from a nature documentary. The sheer beauty of the conservation area left me spellbound, and it was clear that every aspect of the trip was designed to offer an immersive, unforgettable experience.
Overall, this safari was a perfect blend of professional service and raw natural beauty. For anyone looking to experience Tanzania in its most authentic form, I highly recommend setting off on a journey with Ngekewa Tours and Safaris you won't be disappointed!

Tanzania is a land that breathes magic.
This journey was a true adventure — full of inspiration, beauty, and depth. Not just a trip, but an experience that stays in your heart.
Our safari began with an unforgettable encounter with wildlife. Thanks to our guide Rama, we saw nearly every iconic animal: lions, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and many more. Rama is a true professional with an incredible instinct. Every stop with him felt like a small miracle.
Staying in the safari tented camp was a highlight in itself — a luxurious five-star experience in the heart of the savannah, under the stars. Truly unforgettable.
Climbing one of the Kilimanjaro peaks was both a challenge and a source of deep inspiration. Our guide Hassan made the journey feel safe and transformative. Calm, experienced, and deeply knowledgeable, he shared so much about the mountains, the culture, and the nature of Tanzania that everything came alive through his stories.
We ended our trip on Zanzibar — with white sands, turquoise waters, stunning sunsets, and the mysterious charm of Stone Town. Pure magic.
We wholeheartedly recommend Rama and Hassan as outstanding guides.
And a special thanks to Mike — for the perfect organization, warm support, and attention to detail. His work exceeded all my expectations!

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Champion
Our safari adventure was nothing short of extraordinary! The breathtaking landscapes, the untouched wilderness, and the incredible wildlife encounters made this journey an experience of a lifetime.
But what truly made the difference was our guide – Champion. From the very beginning, it was clear that he is not just a guide but a true expert with extensive knowledge, remarkable experience, and a deep passion for nature and wildlife. He took us to the best viewing spots, shared fascinating stories, and ensured that every member of the group felt engaged and cared for.
We felt completely safe and in the best hands – Champion knew exactly when and where to stop to give us the most magical moments. Thanks to him, we saw prides of lions, majestic elephant herds, rare rhinos, and countless other animals in their natural habitat.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Champion is a wonderful person with a warm smile and a talent for making every moment special. We highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari and looking for an unforgettable experience!
A huge thank you to Champion for making this trip perfect – we will definitely be back!
