Fanatic communication and personalized safari for solo female traveler.
As suggested by Safari Bookings, I reached out to 3 different safari operators to see what they could offer me for my 2 night / 3 day safari
My husband was traveling to Pretoria for business and I wanted to do a safari with a difference - a glamping tented safari camping experience.
Traveling as a solo female traveler in her late 50’s, I didn’t want to travel from Pretoria back to Johannesburg, by myself, to be picked up for the journey to and from Kruger.
Kruger Safari was the only safari tour operator that offered to arrange transport to/from Kruger from Pretoria. This made my departure and return so much easier, comfortable, and reassuring for my husband that I wasn’t traveling solo.
Wayne’s comprehensive communication was amazing from start to finish and even just before being collected in Pretoria. Everything so was so clearly explained, questions answered, and reassurances provided. Thanks Wayne!
I would recommend Kruger Safari to anyone wanting to do a Safari. They’ll tailor your safari experience to whatever you want so you leave SA with such great memories.

A Great Safari Experience with Excellent Guiding
Before starting my safari, I was in regular contact with Big Apes. I was able to share my wishes and make changes at any time, and a revised itinerary was always proposed without any issues. In the end, I did a 5-day safari that was very diverse: from the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to various national parks, as well as chimpanzee and gorilla trekking, everything was included. The pickup in Kampala and the end of the trip in Kigali were also organized smoothly. The five days of the safari itself were a wonderful experience. The tour guide was very friendly, dedicated, and had an impressive knowledge of wildlife, which he was happy to share. He regularly checked on my well-being and took great care of me throughout the trip. The accommodations were modern and of high quality. Personally, I would have preferred something a bit simpler, as a less luxurious style suits me better – but this is a matter of personal taste. The food was very good throughout the entire trip.
One point that could be improved is the communication before the start of the safari: I only found out the evening before when I would be picked up and needed to be ready. Additionally, during the five days there was one instance where the guide had not yet received the fuel money from the office.

Most cooperative, professional and hospitable host
We had planned for Tanzania after receiving this idea from a friend who suggested Mr. Yahya (Blue Mist Safaris). It was like shooting an arrow in the dark. But once we connected with Yahya, I was pretty confident that I took a right decision. We visited Zanzibar, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha. Our travel, stay, safari and the overall experience to be honest was seamless. There was never a moment where we had to worry even the slightest about anything. He made the best bookings, which he himself had tried and verified. That is a very good quality in such profession. Our Safari experience was amazing, including the fun we had with our guide Modi (Mohammed). We got to experience the raw Masai culture. He arranged food for us specifically mentioning that we are vegetarians at all the places we stay put. We had to preplan our tour and generally canceling bookings for flight and stay is a hassle, but Yahya made the arrangements smoothly without us being worried for anything. Overall, our experience was first-class and would definitely recommend Yahya to all our family and peers. Go for it guys!

With Elijah "You got the best guide" isn't just a phrase, it's actually true
Had an amazing 7 day Safari with Ozon Light Tours. We went from Tarangire to Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater and finishing it with a cultural day at Lake Eyasi and a final game drive at Lake Manyara.
I was a bit nervous booking directly in Africa, but I loved the itinerary and quality of hotels Ozon Light offered at a very competitive price. I was also nervous the reviews might be fake, you never know these days, but they're absolutely authentic and I'm very glad I booked here rather than at the big operators, where you pay for all their advertisement.
Clinton, our tour manager, was professional and friendly from the start and adapted the tour slightly to my request. Everything ended up perfectly organized. I was a bit nervous when arriving at Kilimanjaro airport, because he didn't tell me where we are going to get picked up, but the airport is quite small and when we left we got immediately greeted by a driver holding a sign with my name.
The first day was just relaxing from the long trip from Germany and on the second day Elijah, our guide, picked us up. Elijah is very smiley, always in a good mood and has a very happy laugh. And he likes to laugh a lot! He's extremely talented at spotting animals and has lots of friends among the guides to share good spots with. He's also very knowledgeable about the aninals and natures in general and provided tons of interesting information. We ended up seeing all of the big 5. Leopards even twice. A family of cheetahs and multiple times lions. We felt really lucky, but a lot of it came from Elijah's good eyes and connections.
Also don't miss out on the cultural day at Lake Eyasi they offer. It's like a trip in another time. You will see authentic tribes living in their original way. We joined a group of young Hazabe, a hunter gatherer tribe, on a small hunt with bows and arrows and saw the home a pastoral tribe.
Overall 10/10. I've already traveled a lot, but this was a truely outstanding experience.

Nice trip
I had a great experience with Super Eagles Travel and Tours. Their communication was clear and timely from the beginning, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. The team was professional, friendly, and always ready to answer questions or provide guidance.
The service was excellent and well-organized, and everything went as promised. I found their packages to be good value for money, with no hidden charges. They were reliable throughout the journey, and the tour itself was enjoyable, comfortable, and well coordinated.
I would definitely recommend Super Eagles Travel and Tours to anyone looking for a trustworthy travel company that delivers quality service and memorable travel experiences.

The place were trust and happiness come together
A safari is an incredible experience, but to enjoy it to the fullest it is essential to be in good hands. We were extremely lucky to find Safari Africa United. Cornelio inspired confidence from the very first contact and tailored a private safari perfectly to our preferences. I truly don’t think there is anyone better to help you plan your trip.
Once in Tanzania, our guide Laurian was the greatest gift. He had an exceptional depth of knowledge about the wildlife in the parks we visited and an enormous heart.
I am absolutely certain that I will return to Tanzania, and I will do so with Safari Africa United.
