We had an excellent experience that included tons of animals on safari & spectacular Victoria Falls
Michelle at Thorn Bush safaris did an excellent job! She was very patient with me and my friend and our endless questions. She made herself available 24-7 and was available over skype.
The safari in Chobe National park was spectacular. We saw lions, giraffes, crocodiles, hippo and buffalo - all on the first day. The lodges were air-conditioned and the pools were lovely. Our trip to the stunning Victoria Falls was the icing on the cake!

9 day Photographic Safari taking in three Nature Parks in South Tanzania organised and led by Chris.
This was a very intensive safari through 3 of Tanzania's Nature Parks at the end of the dry season led by Christopher Bartlett, who was a fountain of knowledge. I have only just got around to viewing some of the many stunning photographs obtained despite being a novice using a new and unfamiliar camera, I am very grateful to Christopher for his help and advice in this respect.
This tour was organised on a very tight budget so the accommodation was basic but adequate - quite an experience to have Elephants and other animals walking past the door in the middle of the night!
A very memorable experience and having now recovered, would very much like to go on another one!
Highly recommended.

I would reccomend Southern Destination, especially Camille, to anyone going to Africa!
There were 11 in our group traveling from California, ranging in age from 34 to 78. Camille was our agent. She is amazing. She would respond to all questions in a timely manner, even at a time when so much was going on in her own family. We traveled to 3 countries by plane, van or boat. We were always met my friendly guides at each destination. Our accommodations at each stop were wonderful. The tents at the safari camps were nothing like the scouts use. We called it "glamping", glamour camping. Camille was always available to us throughout our trip. I am only sorry I didn't get to meet her in person. Anyone going to Africa should use Southern Destinations. They exceeded all my expectations.

Amazing experience
I went on a safari to Ngorongoro Crater and the entire trip was absolutely amazing. I was actually staying with Tanzania Safari Land as a volunteer, so it was super convenient for a weekend getaway.
Shayo, the owner, arranged everything for me and a friend. The price was totally affordable, and the lodgings/tour guide/vehicle were all great. If you want a friendly, easy, and economical safari experience, then Tanzania Safari Land is definitely for you!
I also went on a trip to Zanzibar another weekend through Afrishare, and they booked my plane tickets and hotel as part of a package, and it included one sunset boat tour and snorkeling with a guide. Also an amazing trip!
We did Dolphin tour and our guide was well experienced
the service was Very good ever and with all details

More than perfect safari with Jackson and EasyTravel
As I decided to organize myself a 3-day safari in North Tanzania in February 2015 (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara), I contacted 10 companies per mail. All of them responded quite fast, but EasyTravel offered me the best program and price. The correspondance with them was always very friendly, personal, clear and fast. Although I was a bit anxious after having made the full payment in advance, I was relieved that everything went perfectly well, the minute we went out of the airport on arrival in Tanzania (our first time in this country). We spent 3 nights in very nice lodges, which were recommanded by EasyTravel. Now the most important thing : our driver-guide Jackson! Travelling with him was just perfect : safe driving, sometimes not too fast to enjoy the landscape, sometimes fast to spot impressive animals. He gave us many informations about the animals and the country (I didn't expect to learn so many things!!), but he didn't talk all the time neither, that was perfect for us. Thanks to his patience and very acute and trained eyesight, we saw all the animals we wanted to see and many more... He was very adaptive and agreed to pick us up very early in the morning. All in all, I couldn't recommand more EasyTravel and Jackson for a perfect safari!

All was perfect!
I had safari in Kenya, Masai Mara with Big Time Safaris in the November 2014. It was just perfect!
I brought home memories for the rest of my life, great pictures and new plans to go again!
Big Time Safaris did their job in a perfect way, all was safe and smooth. I was comunicating a lot before arriving to Kenya with Martha, she was always friendly and ready to give advice and answer one of questions, that i had really a lot, cause was travelling to Kenya alone. It was all safe there. They met me from the airport when i arrived to Kenya at 3 in the night, took me to the hotel and than picked me up in the morning to go to safari.
We had very nice and professional driver during safari-Stanley. He knew all about animals and was trying to do his best to show us the wild life of african savana, so we could also make good pictures. Special thanks to Stanley, my 3 days at Masai Mara were really one of the best days of my life!
The camp itself was good, staff there polite and friendly. Food was also good, especially dinners. Tents were big enough, clean and had all i needed inside. I was alone and had one tent for me only. Electricity is during the morning and evening only. If i am not misstaken 5-7 and 20-22. Or smth like this. When we were there was no wifi. But you dont really need it there, you can just enjoy the nature and that few days you have there.
Big Time Safaris were helping me till the day i left Kenya. After safari i was flying to Mombasa, they took me to airport and after Mombasa picked me up from airport to také me to the hotel, where i slept before flying home.
Now i am planning new safari in Kenya and Tanzania, for one week. And of course i will book it with Big Time Safaris. Also i m giving them good feedback and advise it to ppl who are thinking of visiting Africa for safari.
Thanks again guys and hope to see you soon again!
I had an absolutely amazing expirience travelling around with Kenya Walking Survivors Ltd.
With Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris Ltd ,they leave you satisfied beyond your expectation.

Tanzania Safari Land is the best
"In September of 2014 we had the amazing opportunity to visit Tanzania on vacation. We made all of our arrangements through Tanzania Safari Land, which included 7 days climbing Mt Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route, 8 days on safari in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti and then 3 days on the island of Zanzibar. Tanzania Safari Land did an incredible job in making sure our trip was perfect from the very beginning of the planning stages through our final return flight home.
The attention to detail regarding our itinerary could not have been better. Tanzania Safari Land really listened to what was important to us in a vacation and they made sure that our needs were met all along the way. We would highly recommend Kamal and Tanzania Safari Land for your next trip to Tanzania."
