Above our expectations
My wife and I did the 6 nights/7 days safari. The experience was above our expectations from the hotel pick up to the airport transfer at the end. You don't need to worry about one thing, your guide is there for you all the time. We are usually travelling on our own but this time we thought that it would be easier to book a trip like this one. With Moriti, you don't only get a safari trip, but more like a life experience. You don't only see animals, you get to learn about the bush and the life in it.

Best safari imaginable
The trip I had in Tanzania guided by Davis Albert was easily my best holiday ever! The experience could not have been better for my family. My wife Andie and I had wondered how our 11 and 16 year-old daughters Ruby and Alice would take to long safaris – well, they immediately got into it and loved every minute!
We visited a wonderful mixture of places on driving safari in central/southern Tanzania. It was great to experience different kinds of place: bush camping by the river in the undulating woodlands of Selous Game Reserve, permanent tented camping at Stanley’s Kopjie in Mikumi National Park, the cool, green mountains of Udzungwa NP, and the waterholes and beautiful acacia and baobab woodland of Ruaha NP. Wildlife from the huge to the tiny was abundant throughout, and none of it could escape the incredibly sharp eyes of Davis! One second he would spot a highly camouflaged Verreaux’s eagle-owl nearby, the next instant he could pick out a speck on the horizon that would magically turn into a Greater Kudu or leopard. It was so great to be with someone whose astounding knowledge of the wildlife was matched by tireless efforts to share and explore with us. Davis was not only guide, but also cultural ambassador, Swahili coach, entertainer and all round wonderful company!
The diverse magic of the places we visited was really enhanced by being virtually the only people around, except the wonderful crew who cheerfully made sure that we had everything we wanted, and were safe and
comfortable. All the arrangements were smooth, at the right time and place, and we never had down-time caused by something not working. This made the trip effortless for us - a stark contrast to our usual camping
holidays. The days were punctuated with welcome experiences provided by someone else! Stopping under the branches of baobab and tamarind trees, an interesting packed lunch appearing apparently from nowhere. A cold drink would suddenly materialize by the campfire overlooking the river. A day on safari was followed by a warm shower in the ensuite section of the tent. And it was not just routine, but also special, thoughtful
provisions. We happened to mention that Alice was turning 16. Davis is extremely well-connected, with friends and relations apparently everywhere. That evening, courtesy of his cousin chef, a surprise birthday cake appeared labelled ‘Happy Birthday Alice’ with candles and accompanied by ‘Happy Birthday’ sung with Swahili accents.
It was with great regret that we left Davis to round out our extraordinary visit to Tanzania with a couple of days on the unique island of Zanzibar, from where we made a three-day visit to the incredible eco-tourist spot Chumbe Island. Home to the world’s largest invertebrate, the Coconut crab, Chumbe is a paradise of exciting snorkelling among turtles on the gorgeous reef, bright beaches, and a very charming crew of dedicated staff who care so excellently for the island and its visitors.
I can unhesitatingly give my highest recommendation for a trip with Davis and his team. Our complete confidence in him was totally justified. In the time it took to plan our adventure, we developed very high expectations: they were more than met – our safari (Swahili for journey) was even better than we had dreamed. We can’t wait to go back to Tanzania, to see Davis and Nyasi Adventure!

Great price! Amazing experience!
Esther, owner, was extremely prompt and honest during email correspondence. She lined us up with a private 6 day safari in Masi Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli which was absolutely amazing even though it was the dry season. We checked off every major animal including the hard to find ones like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and rhinos thanks to our driver and guide, John. There was a bit of a mix up with our final hotel reservation in Nairobi before our departure, but Esther made a point to fix the problem so that her customers would walk away happy. Thanks so much to Esther, John (driver/guide) and Kenya Budget Safari!

Tailor made safari
We arrived in Kampala, explained what we wanted to do, and all was arranged for us. Our driver, Isaac, was determined to make our trip as enjoyable as he could, and his extensive knowledge in all areas of Ugandan life, history and wildlife was extensive. Churchill safaris made our trip. Highly recommended.

Unbelievable safari with Expedology
The folks at Expedology put together a custom safari for me and my husband. They recommended to go to the Serengeti during February because the migration would be near the south part. We saw almost every animal you could imagine. We were budget minded so they add some cultural hikes and town visits in between the safari so it was not all driving for 7 days in a row.
The lodges and tented camps were amazing, the driver Stephan did a great job spotting animals. He must have binoculars in his eyes! It was trip of a lifetime and we will always remember this special vacation.

I can't imagine a better trip to Africa than
My two-week trip to Zambia was thrilling and fantastic. Almost immediately upon our arrival, I saw an elephant wandering through the grounds of our lodge. I was so amazed to realize that we were located right in the middle of the wild animals’ habitat!
There were so many exciting things: the passion of the dedicated wildlife guides; a pride of lionesses stalking some cape buffalo and giving chase right in front of our jeep; stopping to watch a group of giraffes, being mesmerized by the way they move, enjoying their alert eyes and ears; watching a leopard walk right in front us, thrilled to see this beautiful, graceful, somewhat reclusive cat. I laugh every time I think of the hysterical and endearing warthogs; I was captivated by the zebra and loved looking at their stripes. I felt privileged to be a part of it all.
All this would have sufficed, but we were also introduced to local people in intimate settings – getting a chance to see how they lived their lives and start to appreciate their reality. Tom has had close contacts in Zambia for many years, which afforded us the opportunity to meet and interact with local villagers, community organizers, and local conservation activists.
This was such a deep and moving experience for me. It was enriched and heightened by sharing it so intimately with the group. We had a lot of fun together, laughed a lot and bonded closely – all enhanced, in turn, by the magnitude of what we were experiencing together.
It’s hard for me to imagine that we could have as rich and full an experience without the insights, guidance, connections and organization offered by Tom and Laura.
I treasure the fact that I took the chance on this trip. … I’ve come home feeling fulfilled, peaceful and satiated – and thinking about returning some day.

A Most Magnificent Safari Experience
From the first contact to our departure for home after a most magnificent 4 week trip, the organization and communications with us have been nothing but first class.
Every enquiry sent during the planning stages was replied to within 24 hours at the most - usually within one hour.
The combination of the 3 &Beyond safari's combined with alternate style Pakmisa resort provide a good balance of safari experiences. Whilst we finished up doing 21 three to four hour safari's, we never got tired of the wonderful experiences each trip provided.
The 1 week car hire and our drive through Swaziland was another different, yet enjoyable facet of the trip.
The hotel accommodation in Jo'burg (Clico and Four Seasons) and Cape Town including the upgrades were exceptional complete with unbelievable inclusive breakfasts.
Thanks Ute for an unforgetable safari experience, provided at a very realistic price
