Responsive, responsible, knowledgeable, and friendly
Joseph was a great tour guide. He was very responsive during the planning phase of our trip and went out of his way to accommodate our requests. We didn't have a card reader for the digital camera he let us borrow and he acquired one for us the very next day. Thank you for an amazing and unforgettable trip.

Stanley was great. He really helped make this an unfortable trip
For me as a traveller I felt extremely relaxed, not having to worry about places to stay, what to eat, making itineraries. The whole team was amazing, always working in making the most amzing experience and trying really hard to make sure we saw all the animals. They made sure we didn't have an extremely tight schedule, and if we we're tired of seeing something or wanted to spend more time somewhere we were always accomodated. Our guide (Stanley) was realy helpfull in answering our questions, and explaining how things work with the tribes, what the different animals are called and we even got to learn a little Kiswahili .

Amazing, Organised Experience!
We went on a safari organised by Tanzania Roadside Expeditions in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. From the very start they have been incredibly responsive and organised and ensured that they met our requirements and interests. The tour guides Anthony (Kenya) and Sam (Tanzania) and organiser (Zepha) were incredibly kind, knowledgable and organised! We enjoyed the itinerary, the hotels and overall the experience was unforgettable.

A magic experience in Tanzania with LemCarnivoresTours
We were a group of eight people visiting Tanzania for the first time. We chose Lem Carnivores based on recommendations from friends who had traveled with them in the past. Vicente organized the safari, hotels, lodges, and camps. They did an exceptional job, the guides were very professional and showed us the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater with excellent quality. I would travel with them again.

Thanks a lot！
Moses was honest and reliable, with a real talent for finding animals during the game drives. Newton was always full of energy and made every long ride enjoyable. On top of that, I had the chance to meet wonderful friends from all over the world during this journey. It was truly an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for a long time.

Beyond fabulous!!!
Shortly after starting my research about a trip to Kenya and Tanzania, it became clear that Shadows of Africa was the leading contender for our trip of a lifetime. Karen, the travel agent for Shadows of Africa, was incredibly communicative, providing several possible itineraries for our desired travel dates. We booked somewhat late (In January, for a late-August/early September adventure) and she was still able to provide us with exceptional options at various price points to suit our budget. Shadows of Africa provided special touches, along with absolutely phenomenal food and beverage options, exceptionally experienced guides, and clean, comfortable safari vehicles. Our guide in Kenya was Joji, who ensured we saw as many wild animals from perfect vantage points as possible, while providing in-depth information about the creatures we were seeing. Our guide in Tanzania was Moody, who was also phenomenal at finding wild animals, never rushing us away from any viewing point and always answering our many questions about each species. We were able to learn so much from both of our guides, and we saw every single species that we had hoped to- far more than we could have found on our own in the same amount of time.
The quality of the lodges Karen helped us select, the extensive menu we were treated to during our experience with Shadows of Africa, the warmth and knowledge of our guides, and the truly exceptional adventures we were able to have on our trip would not have been possible without this absolutely phenomenal company.

A safari experience of a lifetime.
In August 2025 we had the privilege of going on a private Tanzanian safari with Goodluck Kombe and Habitat Adventures Travel. From the moment we initiated contact in July 2024 until our trip concluded on an airstrip in the Northern Serengeti National Park, Habitat Adventures Travel took care of every detail. They patiently answered our questions, drafted and redrafted our itinerary, walked us through the money transfers and guided us through the Visa and Insurance processes. While on safari, Goodluck was extremely responsive and delivered on every one of our requests.
We also thought that Goodluck brought a technical expertise to our safari. On one particular day we spent about 4 hours looking for leopards amongst the acacia trees. It was the only animal missing from our search for the big 5. We found a pair in the late afternoon, exactly where he thought they might be, and we got our best photos of the entire trip. In another instance he managed to keep our jeep out of the jumble of safari vehicles so when the wildebeest started crossing the Mara River we were able to move quickly and get the best viewing position.
While on a safari you spend a lot of time in the jeep with your guide. We found it was easy to spend time with Goodluck. He was extremely knowledgeable, forthcoming with stories and info about the animals and birds that we were seeing and always offered sound advice.
This trip had been on our bucket list for a long time. Habitat Adventures Travel helped us make it a reality. In our opinion you can not go wrong trusting your safari to Habitat Adventures Travel.

Easy to work and organized
Working with Simian Safaris was a fantastic experience. They made the planning process seamless, tailoring the trip to our preferences. From the moment we arrived, they picked us up at the airport and introduced us to our safari guide. The first guide was knowledgeable, though not as proactive in spotting animals. However, the second guide was much more engaged and diligent in finding wildlife, which made for a much more dynamic safari. Although there were a few slight changes to the itinerary such as going to Naivasha lake, everything was well organized, and the hotels we stayed in far exceeded our expectations. On our last day, Denise was incredibly helpful, picking us up from our hotel and taking us to the Giraffe Center. The whole team was always available to answer any questions, and their support made our trip and planning very smooth and enjoyable.

Brett curated the perfect once in a lifetime safari experience. Far exceeded expectations.
15/10 - hands down the best agent for your tour of Africa!
What can I say?
From our very first call, we knew Brett and Sun Safaris were the right choice for us. We had spoken to other operators who dismissed our budget and told us it wasn’t possible to get what we wanted. Brett, however, reassured us that our budget was more than sufficient, and he was right. We ended up with exactly the experience we were hoping for.
Every detail of our trip was seamless, from pickups to drop-offs. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. I had one specific camp I wanted to include, and Brett made it work without hesitation. He then curated two additional stays that were so spectacular they quickly overshadowed my original choice.
Both camps were from Natural Selection - Mokolwane and Little Sable - and both were flawless. They offered true safari and wildlife experiences, right in the heart of nature. We had dinner with Elephants, Hippos and slept to the wild noises of lions and buffalo. We were surrounded by elephants at lunch and at the swimming pool. Every where we turned there was something!
The staff were warm, caring, and attentive, but also full of fun, stories, and laughter, which made the stays even more memorable.
The wildlife encounters were extraordinary—the kind you usually only see in documentaries. Each day brought something new and unforgettable. While we know luck played a part, it was also clear that the expertise of our guides and the locations of these camps made all the difference.
We’ve already decided we’ll be returning to Africa, and there’s no question that Brett and Sun Safaris will be the ones to arrange it for us.
