Exceeded expectations & we had challenging demands
To accurately set this up, we were on a cruise beginning in Ft. Lauderdale in January and ending in Capetown on March 25th. It wasn’t until we were on the ship that we started kicking around the idea of planning a safari once we arrived Capetown. We engaged Jessica in mid February, about 6 weeks before we arrived in South Africa. THAT means availability was very limited for that short notice. We were on a safari 2 years ago at Greater Krueger and wanted to add a few new countries to our count. We mentioned we’d like to visit Victoria Falls and then a few days safari. Jessica suggested a 2 night stay at Victoria Falls which allowed us to tour both sides of the Falls, Zimbabwe and Zambia. We were challenging in that I refused any type of small aircraft or helicopter transfer and she found the perfect itinerary for us with land transports. We stayed 2 nights at Ilala Lodge Hotel which even provided a mini safari from our deck with visits from Elephants and Warthogs as a bonus. Next is a transfer to A &K Sanctuary at Chobe Chilwero Lodge for 2 nights with multiple land and water safari’s all of which teemed with many many sightings of animals and colorful bird life. The final piece was a 3 night stay at Tsowa Safari Lodge with deluxe river view tent accommodation. The accommodations were beautiful and very deluxe/luxurious. Food and service at each was superb. I came to the conclusion that the luxury tent at Tsowa Safari Island is not for me because of the critters that found their way into our tent (giant spiders, a few frogs, monkeys) and the monkeys that sat in the trees above our unit and path to our unit. We had #9 which was the farthest from the main lodge and as a result more secluded which I think made them more emboldened. Their presence also prevented us from feeling entirely relaxed as we sat on the deck watching the beautiful Zambezi flow by. BUT, the Tent itself and the Lodge area was beautifully decorated, the staff so hospitable and food service delicious. Additionally, the guides and manager, Gary, so knowledgeable and accommodating. The wildlife sightseeings were better than we ever imagined. I’ve already contacted Jessica for our next, a Zebra and Wildebeest migration in 2027. We we most impressed with how seamless all the transfers between the lodges unfolded. All were very prompt and drivers very professional.

Great Safari Experience
I recently had the pleasure of going on a 7 day safari with Northern Masailand Safaris, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was impeccably organized and exceeded my expectations. The lodges were beautiful and extremely comfortable, and our guide, Rama, was knowledgeable, passionate, and skilled at spotting wildlife. We saw everything we hoped for and more! If you’re considering a safari, look no further, this company is the best and we are already planning on coming back and booking again with them

Untamed Safaris intimate knowledge of Africa provided a superb and unforgettable bespoke experience.
Ryan from Untamed Safaris went above and beyond. His advice, service, intimate and informed knowledge of Africa were invaluable. Every detail and recommendation delivered a smooth, hassle-free and varied safari experience. He communicated with us each leg of the trip, checking in to ensure that our needs were being met. Ryan’s advice to plan a year in advance ensured that we secured our preferred high-demand accommodation in Botswana and Kenya whilst keeping within our budget. We are now planning our next year’s trip with Untamed Safaris to Namibia and Zambia to expand on our unique African experiences.

Unforgettable experience. Impressive level of service.
Climbing Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route was truly one of the most unforgettable adventures of my life, and a huge part of that was thanks to the outstanding service provided by the team that supported us along the way. The level of care, encouragement, and organization from the entire crew made the trek feel less like a physical challenge and more like an easy and fun journey. I have done these mountain / summit treks in many occasions, and I've never seen this level of service. If you're considering this climb, do it – and do it with a company that delivers this kind of service. You won’t regret it!

Affordable, intimate, personalized safari experience
I did the 3 day Nyerere tour with Kihindo and it was more than I could’ve dreamed! I was looking for a private tour that was also budget friendly and fit into a smaller time frame .. this tour was that and more. From the planning with Winnie to our amazing guide Michael (we love you guys!) and trainee, it could not have been a more personalized amazing experience. Winnie even helped me plan a birthday surprise. Michael was super accommodating any time we wanted to stop on the drive and answer the millions of questions we had at all points. The accommodation provided was SO incredible, the food was great and the employees were so sweet. On the safari itself we saw ALL the animals wanted (zebras, elephants, giraffes, hippos). Michael even made sure we saw the lions which are never a given to see! We also had the pleasure of doing a boat tour and saw hippos and got to visit a Masaai village before heading back to Dar es salaam. This was such a special trip and I wish I could thank you guys a million times

The best possible operator to find big cats
Harun went above and beyond to give us the best possible safari experience, each and every day. We saw all the big cats, including a number of leopards and saw multiple wildebeest crossings. Our trip through multiple parks was beyond our expectations thanks to the network Harun has established. A humble nad hard working operator that will not dissappoint

Responsible, caring and very professional.
It was a pleasure to work with Serengeti Savanna Adventures. Our guide Viktor was very professional with great driving skills, he managed time wisely and made sure we felt comfortable. The company arranged pickup and drop off at the hotel we were staying, even do there was 1 h drive to the hotel. They even took care of our extra lagguages while we were on the Safari trip. The lodge we stayed over night (which was arranged by the agency) was absolutely amazing, great food, a very authentic place. We loved the whole thing. I will definitely recommend Serengeti Savanna Adventures to my friends and family!

Unforgettable safari with expert guides, amazing wildlife and excellent lodges.
Just completed a 12-day safari with Africa Steenbok Safaris, covering Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Amboseli, with stays at 8 excellent lodges.
The game drives were incredible—huge thanks to our guide, Simba. His 25 years of experience, sharp instincts and dedication led us to witness unforgettable hunts and rare wildlife moments.
The accommodations exceeded expectations and were a highlight of the trip. I’d give Africa Steenbok Safaris 10 stars if I could—highly recommended!

An excellent, warmhearted and meaningful journey
We booked a six-day Kilimanjaro Machame route expedition, led by our guide SAM. SAM and his team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attentiveness, delivering many wonderful surprises while ensuring all members successfully reached the summit. This was an extraordinarily rewarding journey.

Very good tour operator and always available
Amazing trip with our guide Daniel. We spent 3 days with him going to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. On the car water has been always provided. I used a lot my mobile phone to take pictures Without being afraid of charging. In the car there is a plug to charge your phone.
Daniel drove very good, going slowly during safari to let us see better the animals and accelerating when they called him for a rare animal somewhere to let us see it before running away.
We would have liked to spend more time in the parks to see more!
Unbelievable experience.
5 stars.
