It was simply awesome.
Just went for 8 day safari with James and Wild Portraits Safaris...it was spot on perfect.
Reasons
1.Clear communication and replies always comes very quickly on WhatsApp.
2. Very genuine with suggestions and doesn't do things as a job or formality.
3. James is very knowledgeable.
4. The enthusiasm and passion shown by James was just so infectious.
5. The planning of itinerary takes care of all the finer details.
6. They really take care of your focus and they don't try to sell anything you are not interested in. For example we skipped the village visit because we didn't see value in it.
7. Quite flexible and adjusts as things progress.

They were helpful and friendly!
The communication leading up to the start of my trip was fantastic! As a single traveler, I loved joining a group of other people to experience the Safari with. The meals were all family style and very good!!
I very much enjoyed camping for two nights because it was fun to see animals in the mornings right outside our tents.
The guides and chef took great care during the entire 5 day trip. It was an experience of a lifetime. I recommend this tour company!

Fabulous 🤩
I booked the Johannesburg: Lesedi Cultural Village Experience and had the pleasure of Padney as my tour guide.
Absolutely fabulous man. And the reason I would book with this tour company again.
The tour ended up on a 1-1 basis and was great from the start. Being picked up, walked around the village with me and kept me safe and happy. He gave insights into south Africa and shared his knowledge on the local area.
Such a pleasure to meet you and I wish you all the best with the future.

This met our expectations of a professional agency that adapts to needs.
Joel's responsiveness was very efficient in preparing the trip by answering all our questions. This made our experience fabulous, magnificent and unforgettable. The guide we had "Jacob" is very professional, competent, attentive and speaks French correctly. It was a very beautiful trip with this company that I recommend. We visited the Tarangirre, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The organization was perfect and we saw many animals and incredible scenes. A trip that we recommend with this agency. David and Cathy

Great mid-range safari. Covered all the bases - game drives, lodging, transportation, safety.
Safari was much more than I expected. Our guide was Isaac, he knew the park like the back of his hand. Took us to all the right places to see the wildlife and the beauty of the Massi Mara.

Organized and well coordinated support
It was the hardest and longest hike for me (Mt Kenya Lenana). However, a team of Tilman Safaris including a professional and calm guide (Anthony), fantastic cook (lot of vegetables and warm meals when most needed), kind porters made the hike as comfortable and assuring possible. Through the booking, all the questions and concerns were answered promptly. It was a fantastic experience! Highly recommended.

Altruistic, selfless, noble tour guides and operators with nothing but furaha to give!
Look no further for you have found the most accommodating and generous safari company of all. I spent days emailing and contacting many safari groups and landed on this one due to the level of service and addons that no other company could match. My circumstance was quite unique as i landed at 1am local time so i needed a company that would help with this obscurity. Ketura, the wonderful behind the scenes agent was more than helpful contacting me at all times of the day (dealing with my california timezone). Through our communication he offered an airport pickup, a hotel to sleep in (Summit lodge which was wonderful) and a hotel at the end of our safari (Karibu heritage which was beautiful and wonderful). We then began our safari 7am Sunday, 6 hours after we landed because i like to make the most of my time and Ketura was so accommodating to that. . We left our luggage at Summit and took only what we needed to the safari. Ketura stayed in communication for anything that we needed the whole safari trip and honestly i didnt need anything because Ketura and Travel Africa company fulfilled any and all needs that i myself didnt even know i needed!
Now for the best guide in the world, Godfrey!!!! The safari itself was amazing but made into way more due to the kindness and generosity of Godfrey. He was so grateful and self sacrificial it was awe-inspiring. Godfrey made a safari into a beautiful journey with wide array of information and so much attention and care to all the participants needs. He constantly asked if we were good, happy/furaha, he taught me some Swahili and he always asked if we needed to stop or needed more time for the animals! He was just wonderful !! I couldnt ask for a better company and guide and am so grateful to have had them.
