Perfect. Super itinerary, built specifically to my requests, very flexible for changes
Loved everything about the trip.
The itinerary to Botswana and Zimbabwe was absolutely amazing, and everything worked like clock work, being moved from one location to the other.
Some of the tips I received were awesome, and the welcome note and gift were a very nice personal touch to the incredible trip.
Highly recommend

A bucket-list experience
Jock tours made our safari trip a once in a lifetime experience. Peter kapino was an amazing guide, full of knowledge for any questions about the animals. He made the extra mile to make the trip special for everyone on board and provided flexibility for whatever the group wanted. The vehicle and scenery made the trip unforgettable and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you jocky tours

Okavango Delta, Lagoon Camp & 4 Rivers Camp
A big thank you to Gondwana Tours & Safaris especially Mark for organising our recent trip to the Okavango delta.
The camps he chose were superb, location, accommodation, food and staff all fantastic.
The guides and trackers were amazing, managing to achieve what seemed like the impossible every day. Extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled individuals.
The information provided by Mark was comprehensive, the attention to detail was impressive. He managed to answer all our questions before we asked them. The instructions about our arrival at Maun were clear and easy to follow.
In camp we were asked by a staff member, who was our agent? Their response to our reply and we quote 'our star agent you chose well'.
A memorable, well organised trip in a beautiful unique location.

Service with a smile
Patrick reacted very efficiently to a very last minute booking request. He couldn’t have been more pleasant and worked overtime to make my trip easy

Touching the soul in five days - a great budget trip):
Tow of my friends and I took part in this 5-day group safari, and Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris opened a new world of experiences for us. Philip, our guide at Masai Mara, was explaining the way of life of each animal, as if a live natural history class was going on.
The highlight was taking pictures next to the flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru! But the most unique experience was riding a bicycle in Hell's Gate through the roaring canyons and rock caves. It's a different kind of safari.
A kind of friendship developed in the group with everyone; the trip became more colorful with night bonfires and stories. Budget-friendly, but the service was excellent.

Amazing
I stumbled across Alex after dealing with another company who just wouldn't listen to what we wanted. We ended up orgnising a trip through Alex to Uganda and Zambia for our honeymoon. She was amazing to deal with - honestly so so helpful. She recommended a switch to Zambia based on the info we gave her and we could not have been happier. The whole planning process was so easy for us, she was happy to make changes when we decided we wanted to add something or changed our mind on an activity. We had one little issue with a flight cancellation and she responded to us straight away and had it sorted within half an hour. The accommodation she organised was so special and so amazing. We had such a great honeymoon and would recommend Alex to anyone! Side note - we live in Australia and she was so considerate of the time difference! We will definitely be using Alex for any Africa trips in the future!

Great safari experience
We did the 8 day Kenya/Tanzania Tour of Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire NP.
The safari itself was amazing! We had really good tour guides that explained everything and answered all of our questions. Jeffrey in Masai Mara was really patient and made the trip very enjoyable. Zameer had a lot of experience and was very helpful with making sure all our needs were met at the camps in TZ. Our chef in Tanzania Athmuni made the experience so enjoyable with customized meals in TZ accommodating all my dietary requirements (vegan) while still making delicious and nutritious food for every meal. Mike was very informative and determined to make my dreams come true when I hadn’t seen a rhino yet on my last day and was amazing at spotting wildlife from a distance and knowing where they usually hang out in Nairobi NP.
There were a few minor glitches which I think are unavoidable regardless of which company you go with: the two nights we were staying in the city (Nairobi and Arusha) the hotels didn’t have our reservation when we got there and it was a bit frustrating. However, it was worked out in the end. There’s two different companies for Kenya and Tanzania so there’s communication issues at times and would recommend getting the WhatsApp number for both companies and contacting them directly for any issues in the corresponding countries.
Overall an amazing experience! We were able to hear the lions roar at night in the TZ camping tents (Simba campsite). On our second to last day I hadn’t seen a Rhino yet and wanted to change plans last minute to see Nairobi NP instead of Tarangire NP (no rhinos there). Kennedy was able to arrange everything and accommodate my request last minute. I ended up seeing both black and white rhinos at Nairobi NP successfully completing the big 5!! Both tour companies are very responsive on WhatsApp and quickly try to fix any issues that arise. I would recommend booking with them and definitely seeing Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater those were my favorites!

Perfect travel
The perfect trip, the travel agency offers very favorable prices and excellent service. Our tour guide, Albert, also showed us leopards and lions, the Big Five and the Ugly Five of Africa. He was very skilled and provided us with warm service!

Very nice people, well organised, super trip
The communication from home was very accurate and precise. We were followed for every questions and doubts. It was one of the best prices I found on SafariBookings. Eric was our guide and he was really kind and helpful. The tour itself was very very nice. The places are amazing and every stage was pretty well organised. The most beautiful things about the journey were the lodges. They were almost luxury lodges, at a normal price. And the period was perfect beacuse we were almost alone, also at the gorilla trekking. I will do it again with this company for sure.
