Excellent !
We have booked tours mainly to Chobe in Botswana.
Always on time and my visitors thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
We will continue to book through them on behalf of our friends and family.
Keep up the good work Luciano Tours. 👏

Wonderful 5 day tailored trip
Among all the agencies I reached out to, Elvis from Lulu Safari was the most responsive and communicative. I’m glad I chose them for my Uganda trip. My guide, Sam, was patient, kind, and attentive. I had an amazing time over the past five days, and this experience makes me want to return to Uganda in the near future.

Well organised and responsive
I left it until the day before to organise my safari, but good one tours were fast at responding to my WhatsApp messages and sorted my 1day safari with transfers within hours.
The driver was really friendly, one of the best safaris I’ve been on

Evance is honest and fair and has surrounded himself with like-minded people who love to hike!! 5/5
I was in Tanzania on a work trip and last second had 4 days available to trek Mt. Meru. I reached out to a few companies and Evance from Memorable Vacations Africa immediately sent me a message, inquiring about my travel plans and offering to help me plan the trip. He quickly sent me a detailed quote detailing the schedule and services.
My biggest issue was that I had not brought the correct gear to Tanzania - literally I didn't have a coat, rain gear, sleeping bag, hiking poles, thermals, headlamp and more. Evance's brother owns a hiking gear store and he told me that I could borrow whatever I needed for free.
While this saved me hundreds of dollars, I chose Memorable Vacations Africa because Evance was responsive, forthright, and simply gave off honest and good vibes in contrast to other tour companies I spoke with.
The trek itself was fantastic - Evance set me up with Oscar who has been leading Kilimanjaro and Meru treks since 2003 (!!) who had immense knowledge about local flora and fauna. He was an extremely experienced hiker did a gear check every morning and made sure my backpack was properly packed. Moodi and Laurence were the porter and cook and they were also fantastic.
I can't recommend Memorable Vacation's Africa more - Evance is honest and fair and has surrounded himself with like-minded people who love to hike and help others experience Tanzania.
For anyone considering trekking Meru, Kili, or anything else give Evance a call!!

The staff was amazing
Try to support safaris and/or tour companies indigenous to the area.
I learned some of these safari parks removed families from their land, put a fence around the area and then transferred the animals into the "park;" it's like a big zoo on 1,000's of acres.
MOAfrika itself is fine. I would add additional wording to their marketing to clarify terms.
Like open vs closed vehicles.
Closed means a van, open could mean a safari vehicle caged in; cage removed or not.
One marketing material said "open vehicle," but they showed an "a vehicle with a partial cage around it and a vehicle completely caged in.
During my inquiry process, I kept asking for an" open vehicle," thinking uncaged was open but when I arrived for the tour, they had caged vehicles that I refused to enter.
After a 1 star review, Anthony, one of the co-owners, listened to my concern, and explained the difference between open and closed vehicles then helped me get a different tour the following day.
I also learned the term "big 5," has nothing to do with the size of the animals. It refers to groups of people who used to slaughter, kill and profit from these animals saying "these 5 animals are the hardest to kill."
Now, some of them profit from the ways I explained above: removed families front their land, put a fence and brought in animals...
Support tour companies indigenous to the area if who take care of the animals, customers, employees, and communities surrounding the parks.

Tranquil getaway a stone throw away from Kruger
Me, my wife and our 3 month old baby made a spontaneous decision to visit Kruger over the weekend. Makuwa gave us a family room that could accommodate a family of four with ease. They were very tentative to our needs, taking in to account the challenges traveling with a small baby.
The food was fantastic, you can see that Simone has a passion for cooking. Mornè was friendly and inviting, he regularly checked on us to see if we needed anything.
Eventhough it was only for two nights, the tranquil environment away from the hustle and bustle was enough to recharge our spirits.
I can't wait for our next visit.
