Great Game Drives and Guided Tours Around Victoria Falls
Our experience with African Coast Travel and Tours was great. Our Guide, Joseph, was very attentive starting with our collection from the airport, assisting with bags and providing water and helping to organise our time in Victoria Falls. He recommended a trip to Chobe in Botswana which was great. A really positive experience in which we were able to view the animals from a boat and also in a normal game drive. The rangers were very informative and the transportation and immigration clearance went off without a hitch. The trip to Chobe was definitely a highlight of our trip and we are very grateful for the suggestion from Joseph.
Joseph remained our guide for our four days in Victoria Falls and arranged for our tour to Livingstone and again the immigration clearance and transportation worked well. Included with this tour was a visit to the Zambian side of the Falls in which Joseph was able to help find all the good photo spots and arranged an excursion to Livingstone Island. Definitely one of our best memories was our later visit to the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls in which Joseph again took us to all the best spots to take photos and explained about Dr Livingstone's discovery (as the first European) of the Falls.
Transportation was excellent, comfortable and safe for all the tours we attended. One of the travellers was a vegetarian and this was catered for appropriately and questions were asked to confirm what food could be eaten on our first day to ensure meals would be available. Joseph also organised and communicated to us the time for collection for the next day and warned us if we were arriving late to organise for a late meal in the evenings.
Overall we were very happy with our time in Victoria Falls and the efforts provided by African Coast Travel & Tours.

Great Adventure!
We were very pleased with Christine's arrangements for a trip to Botswana and Victoria Falls for us. The lodge in Botswana was an excellent choice and we enjoyed our stay in Victoria Falls as well. The multiple transfers went smoothly as did all the flights. Everything worked.
I would not hesitate to use Christine's services in the future.
PS: You were so right about a guided safari being worthwhile. The guides are awesome and a fountain of information!
Short Trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro
My partner and I recently returned from a conference in Arusha and had the opportunity to visit Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro on a short trip organized by E-Trip Africa. Tarangire is a fabulous park - we saw numerous elephant, 5 lions with 3 cubs, several herds of zebra, impala and wildebeest, and even a rare leopard on a "sausage tree"!
We then continued to Ngorongoro where we spent the night on the crater rim, so that we could get down to the floor early in the morning. The views are amazing and we had the most magical sunset. The crater was filled with animals. I wanted to see Rhinoceroses, which we saw 4 in the first few hours. Our driver was fabulous - his knowledge, experience and passion made the trip quite enjoyable!
I would love to return to spend more time here. Not sure if we will focus on the Serengeti or the Southern Parks on our next trip, or maybe both :)

A Fantastic Experience
Our safari to Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania surpassed our expectations in terms of the number of different animals we saw, how close we were able to come up to them, how well organized it was, the level of service and the fine acccommodations. Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the planning stages. It made us very relaxed knowing that that we had someone with his experience guiding us as we discussed the trip with him, both by phone and email. We would highly recommend Safari Partners to anyone, any age, thinking of taking a safari. It ranks as one of the best trips we have ever taken.

Taga Safaris Africa a truly professional operation
Our first trip to Africa was in April 2010. Searching the internet was quite daunting but we thought the Taga Safari site looked very professional , so we decided to contact Taga for advice on planning our African safari to South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia.
We were truly impressed with the quick response to our numerous queries and the proactive manner in which Mark assisted us in planning our itinerary. He certainly has a great knowledge of Africa.
When we arrived in Johannesburg, Mark was at the airport to meet us and he escorted us to the transport base to begin our adventure. At no point during our entire trip did we feel unsafe or intimidated. At every transfer point to/from each safari or country, we were met by a Taga representative to ensure our timely and safe passage. The Taga representatives were always punctual, very courteous and competent.
We had such a wonderful trip thanks to the input of Mark and his Taga team, in fact we were so impressed that when we decided to return to South Africa for a safari lodge holiday (Sep,2011), we immediately contacted Mark to make the reservations. Once again we had the most wonderful trip and we are now looking forward to planning another safari holiday.
We commend Mark and his Taga team to anyone who is looking for a highly professional organiser, to assist and implement their plans for an African holiday, with the emphasis on seeing the magnificent wildlife in a safe, friendly and happy environment.

We loved Botswana
We had a wonderful time at each of our stops in Africa and would highly recommend Christine to anyone planning a trip to Africa. We stayed at three different safari lodges and they were all fabulous and each a bit different. The people we encountered were so exceptional and so knowledgeable, that I think we all came home feeling we had a very personal experience wherever we went.
Well done Christine!

Royal treatment at an affordable price.
My first travel experience to South Africa I had a slight apprehension on what tour company to use. A friend of mine recommended Tambuzi Safari's. I had some budget constraints so I went on a 10-day budget/ back packer safari package through Tambuzi in the Kruger National Park and surrounding areas. Traveling in a foreign country with different cultures, amazing sights and animals that only live in this area of the world had a great impact on my life. The fun of meeting new people and assisting with the daily camp activities energized my soul. I recommend using Tambuzi Mobile Camping Safari's when traveling to South Africa.
Amazing, truly amazing...
We saw two crossings, soma parts were emotionally intense. A 4.5-5 meter croc drowned a baby zebra, pulled her into the muddy waters right in front of us. Am sure everyone felt it for her. Thank you again for providing me such an amazing experience, much appreciated.
A well organised safari with personalized service by the owner at a highly competitive rate - GREAT!
Restoration Safari has "environmental conservation" as its mission and helps connect customers to the local community, its culture, customs and nature. Bariki, our trusted, polite and courteous guide cum driver is truly passionate about the environment and could identify every plant and animal species seen at all the National parks across Tanzania!!! Pre- and post safari communications via email and telephone are extremely prompt and super efficient. The hotels were well selected and as per our requirements. I would personally recommend Restoration Safaris for a safe and secure adventure in Tanzania - perfect for families and women travelling alone.
