Fantastic service from day one until trip
I contacted a few companies re a multi location trip and Explore and Travel Africa were the best response I received and from that moment until my trip the information and options they provided, the service and contact I received and the locations proposed were second to none. The hotel they selected in Cape Town was amazing and had all the other customers on our excursions jealous, the hotel in sari was fab and was a beautiful lodge and the drives were great. The location selected in Thabamati was out of this world.
We also received a lovely touch in our hotel in Cape Town with welcome gifts and the fact I was given their WhatsApp number should there be any issues was amazing service. Everything on the trip ran to plan, the local communication was also great.
I have to say we are looking at potential future trips and I will be using Explore and Travel Africa again for these.

Top assistance and customization
I had a wonderful experience for my 6 day trip between safaris and cultural tours. I think that the most important things that future travelers might want to know, is that you can request a range of additions / customizations for your trip, while still joining a group of other travelers and keeping the total price under control. Their assistance, both in planning the trip and during the trip itself (and even after!), is just top-notch. I communicated with Halima and she's just the kindest and most helpful person you might encounter. Always ready to help or fix any issue whenever I was in need. Thank you so much!

5/5, recommend!
We had a fantastic safari experience in Kenya. The entire trip was very well organized from start to finish — everything ran smoothly without any hiccups, which made it easy for us to just relax and enjoy.
A special mention goes to our guide, Mike, who truly made the trip unforgettable. His deep knowledge of wildlife, the parks, and local culture brought each moment to life. He was attentive, patient, and made sure we saw an incredible variety of animals while always feeling safe and comfortable. His enthusiasm and professionalism really stood out.
The planning and logistics were handled perfectly, with great attention to detail. Overall, it was a memorable and stress-free experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone considering a safari in Kenya.

Safari and beach vacation
Great, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our guide, Jose, was great! We went to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The days were made up of early wake-ups and long game drives to see the amazing wildlife in our dedicated LandCruiser vehicle. Our guide drove throughout the parks and pointed out all the various animals including a number of facts about each as well as about the different locations we drove through. With his amazing vision and experience we were able to see all of the Big 5! Our consultant in the office, Shedrack, provided timely feedback to our questions and customized our vacation package based on our back and forth. We finalized on a safari adventure followed by a relaxation experience in Zanzibar. Great job by all at Serengeti Smile for a memorable holiday! Asante sana!

A friendly and knowledgeable operator that makes exploring Africa unforgettable
My experience with Informative African Tours was absolutely amazing! From the first contact to the end of the safari, everything was organised with great professionalism and attention to detail.
The accommodation was excellent - comfortable, clean and with always helpful and friendly teams, which made the whole trip even more special.
Our driver and guide, Mr. Gift, was simply fantastic! Always attentive, fun and knowledgable about wildlife and local culture. Thanks to him, we can see a lot of animals and learn a lot about each of them.
Informative African Tours exceeded all expectations - I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, safe and well-organised experience in Tanzania!

Everything we hoped for and more
BST Tours were excellent in every way. Always on hand to answer our many questions and very patient with us. The transfers were excellent with Johan and Gerritt providing us with a good commentary and again answering our many questions. They, together with Tanya helped us chose an excellent lodge, Toro Yaka, and made our overall experience one we will never forget

Safari experience of a lifetime delivered!
Meektrails Safari organised a five day private tour, including Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara. We stayed at Sopa Lodges and Zebra Plains Camp and our driver, guide and mentor for the trip was the quite incredible James. Simply put, James's warm humour, brilliant driving, and unbeatable knowledge and experience, ensured that we had a fabulous week. There's a lot of driving in very challenging traffic, on often truly awful and dusty roads, but this never distracted from what was a once in a lifetime adventure. Thank you Meektrails for organsing our trip and for giving us James!

Everything was great: quick booking, clear support, fast responses! Thank you!
Driver James demonstrated exceptional skill and knowledge of the area, providing an unforgettable safari experience. His ability to choose optimal locations for wildlife observation allowed us to witness impressive scenes: lions literally rested right next to our vehicle, creating a sense of total immersion in nature. Thanks to his professionalism, we were able to enjoy stunning views and take unique photographs. In addition to excellent navigational skills, James showed genuine concern for passenger comfort, remaining consistently polite and attentive. This made our adventure truly special and memorable.
