BETTER THAN EXPECTED!
Booked the 1day Jburg and Soweto tour with very knowledgable guide Tinyiko…….tour was great….. got to see many different suburbs of Johannesburg… Had plenty of stops to stretch the legs… And what was particularly enjoyable was the visit to Soweto… and the interesting place he took us for lunch. Highly recommended.

Perfect
We were very happy with our trip, everything went totally fine, from organization to pick up and the safari itself - we were very lucky to see almost all of the big five, and Jimmy was a very nice and funny guide with who we had a fantastic time. Would do it again!

expert, enthusiastic
This trip was an excellent experience, and I was able to photograph almost all the animals I wanted to see. Geofrrey was very warm and professional, always ready to answer my questions quickly and accurately. My guide Erick was highly knowledgeable and patient, and thanks to his help, I captured many wonderful photos. If you’re reading this review, trust me — choosing Family Leisure will be the right decision

Amazing experience
We had a truly unique and unforgettable experience! During the safari we were lucky enough to see the Big Five along with many other animals in their natural habitat – an absolutely incredible feeling. Spending two nights camping made it even more special, allowing us to fully experience the magic of nature and immerse ourselves in the safari atmosphere. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to live something authentic and extraordinary!

Incredible 8 day tour of Uganda
Review
We did a 8 Day tour of Uganda, including Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Lake Mburo.
From the very first contact, Wagatil has been a pleasure to organize the tour. I could individualize my itinerary and special requests were gladly accommodated. I planned to propose to my girlfriend and the owner Martin, who also took us on this trip, helped me lots to organize the proposal.
All accommodations throughout the trip were perfect, food was on a very high level and the whole trip felt more like a tour with a good friend. Martin is easy going, empathetic, always plans ahead to prevent any problem whatsoever. He studied wildlife management and has an unbelievable amount of contacts in all corners of Uganda.
We felt 100% safe during our whole trip, there was not a single minute where we felt uncomfortable, there was not a single dull moment even some drives were around 5 hours.
Uganda is an incredibly beautiful country, with so much diversity and incredible people.
From Hundreds of Giraffes, to Lions, spectacular Leopard encounters (spotted by Martin, so we had a private encounter with the leopard), Chimpanzees and Gorillas in Bwindi, there is so much to explore.
We can only vouch for Wagatil and Martin as a tour operator in Uganda. He made this special trip absolutely flawless.
We already miss exploring Uganda with him or talking about its wildlife or anything really.

Woooww, I couldnt imagine that
100% valuable.
Our driver/ guide is really the best you can have , for sure, he is more invested than any other driver in the parc, whenever he heard about an animal, he ran to find it, what a hunter !
Besides, our cooker (Barack) was equally invested, we were one of the rare to have a complete meal every time while the others had sandwiches.
The safari was organised according to our willing , we had a discount , and the flights included.
That was so perfect, I recommend it.

Everything was absolutely unforgettable experience
Our 3 day trip with Bridgids Africa Adventures was absolutely unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. On the first day we were amazed by the giraffes, zebras and lions in the Serengeti National Park. On the second day we saw tree-climbing lions and thousands of flamingos in Lake Manyara National Park. On the last day we had an incredible experience descending into the Ngorongoro Crater with lions, herds of buffalo and luckily we also saw a black rhino. Thank you Bridgids Africa Adventures for giving us memories to remember for a lifetime.

Excellent, kudos to Theodore for his excellent customer service.
We travelled from Joburg to Kruger park with Safarilink SA. The journey was explained well ahead of setting off and executed on plan. Great communication from Theodore who transported us. We were well looked after and if back in the area would travel with Safarilink SA again due to Theodore's excellent customer service.

All the guides are amazing. Foods are good. Camps are comfortable.
Both of the guides speak good English. But the second one is a really gentle driver. Sometimes can’t compete for good position. But still the overall service is great.
The price is reasonable. I was even ungraded in middle range room for several night.
All the staffs here are reliable. It was a good experience.

Gorilla trekking and Rwanda genocide sites
-Planning: Coleb was very responsive in answering my questions and adjusting the itinerary as needed to visit the sites we hoped to see. This flexibility was part of my reason for choosing Std Safari.
-Actual tour: Brian, our guide and driver for the 7 days, was a delightful addition to our experience. He met us at the airport and graciously accommodated anything we requested.
-Tip: You will be offered a porter when gorilla trekking. I chose to use one primarily to help support the poor community (knowing that I could carry my own backpack). However, the porter was an essential help in navigating the slippery, muddy, more precarious parts of the hunt ...ie. keeping me on my feet!
