Organized and professional
My girlfriend and I went on a 6 day budget safari with pavilion !
Let’s start by saying how greatly planned it was! Although there was lots of driving from park to park as we chose a tour that covered many different parks, they still made sure we maximized time within the parks and time with the animals. We Had Anthony as our guide! Anthony was amazing, he has 11 years of experience doing safaris in Kenya, he always made sure we had what we needed and that everyone in the group was taken care of at the camps, he spoke great English, and when other guests who didn’t speak much English needed to know more, he made sure that they got what they needed, either asking us to help explain, or using translator apps.
We loved that we did the park in the off season, this meant less traffic in the park, less vehicles around the animals and an all in all more natural feeling safari!
We upgraded our vehicular from the van usually used in the budget safaris to the Land Cruiser! I would highly recommend this to anyone doing this trip, it is worth the extra money! You can go more places in the park and there for get better sighting of animals, of which we had lots! (See attached photos! Haha
We will 100% be back!

Incredible one-day excursion to Akagera
Golden Safari provided an amazing experience for our one-day trip to Akagera National Park. Frank and his staff in the office were great to deal with in making the booking.
Our guide Mico was a real pro, and knew exactly where to go. Although there is a lot of luck involved in what you see, he got us to the best spots and the luck followed. As such, for the first time in his career, we saw all of the 'Big 5' in one day (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinoceros), and that was on top of all the other wildlife we saw. A real top notch experience, and would gladly book woth them and Mico again.

An Incredible Experience with Standard Safari Ltd, Professional, reliable and Honest
I just returned from a three-week journey through Rwanda and Uganda, and I’m really glad I chose Standard Safari to organize it. As a solo traveler, covering two countries in such a smooth and stress-free way would have been almost impossible without their support.
My driver and guide, Ryan, was fantastic—professional, kind, and incredibly patient, even when I came up with some spontaneous or unconventional ideas. He made everything easy and enjoyable. Ryan also has a deep knowledge of the region, which made the experience even more insightful and enriching.
As a travel photographer, I had very specific needs, and Standard Safari went above and beyond to help me create a custom itinerary that fit perfectly. Whether it was accessing remote locations, visiting local communities, or finding the best light for photography, they were flexible, attentive, and truly understood what I was looking for.
If you're planning an adventure in Rwanda or Uganda, this is a no-brainer. Standard Safari is professional, honest, and genuinely committed to making your trip unforgettable. I highly recommend them!

Every Step Perfectly Planned
We recently had the pleasure of exploring Zanzibar and Mikumi National Park with Angelino Adventures, and the experience was truly unforgettable. From the moment we landed, they were punctual and professional. Picking us up right on time from the airport and driving us to beautiful Nungwi Beach. They recommended we stay at Safaya Villas, and we couldn’t have been happier with the choice. The hotel was amazing, the food was delicious, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and the location was just perfect for relaxation and beach views.
Throughout our stay, we enjoyed a variety of activities, including Safari Blue, Dolphin Tour, Stone Town Tour, and the Spice Tour. Every tour was private, well organized, and led by our wonderful guide Usman, who was not only charming and respectful but also very knowledgeable about the local culture, sea life, and the history of Zanzibar. He made each tour informative and fun, turning every moment into a memory. We always had a private vehicle for transfers and private boats for ocean tours, which made the experience even more comfortable and personalized. The sunsets in the Nungwi area were absolutely breathtaking.
We also had the incredible chance to do a day trip to Mikumi National Park, which gave us the opportunity to see wildlife in their natural habitat. We spotted elephants, zebras, impalas, buffaloes, wildebeests, lions, giraffes, monkeys, hippos, and more. A huge thank you to our safari guide Moris, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly made the safari an enriching experience. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to Angelo and the entire team at Angelino Adventures for organizing everything so seamlessly. Their attention to detail and smooth coordination made this a completely stress free vacation. If we ever return to Zanzibar, we will absolutely explore it again with Angelino Adventures! No doubt about it. Hakuna Matata! Asante Sana!

Listening to our needs and giving great advice, Gondwana put together the perfect trip for us.
Christelle at Gondwana Tours & Safaris organized a fantastic trip for us to Victoria Falls, the Chobe River Front and the Okavango Delta. From the beautiful and very comfortable accommodations to the exhilarating game drives and water tours to the friendly and knowledgeable guides and staff to the delicious and graciously served meals to the seamless transfers...all were absolutely perfect! And, given the very reasonable price, it was a great value. When our travels take us again to Africa, we will definitely book through Gondwana.

Unforgettable, memorable and once in a lifetime game drive/safari in Tanzania
We found Loren African Safaris from fb and from the time we contacted Loren he was very supportive in finding answers for all the questions we had and during negotiations he helped us to change our itinerary many times to cater for our needs, also he was able to provide a mix of lodges and tented camps to fit into our budget. The total quote we agreed at the end worked out very competitive comparing to other quotes.
Loren as a guide exactly knew what we wanted as we have engaged in various other safaris in Kenya previous years. He wanted us to have the best game drive experience with him, result was he managed to take us around to places where we could see all the big cats with cubs and we were able to spend reasonable time where we had sightings of these cats. Loren was engaged with us all the time and keen to explore and spot animals.
All the accommodations we had was reasonably well placed to move to the next destination and he made sure the staff at the accommodations looked after us very well catering for our neds especially when we requested a certain changes in the meal for our bush lunches.
At the end we had a truly a special experience and a memorable 8 days of game drives in comparison to what we have experienced in the past.
Thank you for our amazing safari experience Loren.

Chole was wonderful. She was attentive and easy to work with. I highly recommend her.
I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari with Off2Africa and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and unforgettable.
Our guides were not only extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, but also passionate and engaging, making every game drive exciting and educational. We saw the Big Five and so much more – including breathtaking sunrises, herds of elephants, and even a rare leopard sighting!
The accommodations exceeded expectations – comfortable, clean, and perfectly located to take in the beauty of the surroundings. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure every guest felt welcome and cared for.
This was more than just a vacation – it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m so grateful to Chloe for making it so special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.
Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime!

"BEST HONEYMOON EVER OUR NEWLY MARRIED LIFE"
It's really nice to think that the beginning of married life will be such a beautiful experience. I planned to surprise my wife on my honeymoon. I liked them and booked Shengena Adventures for 8 days thinking that we would go on safari as planned. The start was very good, the nature of Tanzania is really fascinating. Every day was full of new experiences. We never felt like we were people from another country, we felt like we were their relatives, they hosted us like that. They arranged a surprise candle light dinner for us without informing us, we were really excited about this. As a newly married couple, Shengena team decorated our accommodation in a different way for one day. We were most excited that the guide fulfilled our excitement to see the Big Five, Guide (Makundi) was able to take us to the right place at the right time and because of that we got a lot of things from him and some real experiences about the wildlife of Tanzania. Makundi was so experienced about animals that it seemed like he could understand the language of animals. And the most admirable thing is that they love animals with a lot of respect and heart. We couldn't believe that 8 days had passed. It semed like it had ended in a very short time. So it was very difficult to come back. It would have been better if the time could have been extended for a few more days. But we definitely want to come again, but next time we hope to have a new family member with us.
