Fantastic tour, knowledgeable & wonderful driver
Fantastic 3 day Maasai tour - highlight of our trip and something we will remember all our lives. Full credit to the amazing driver Kelvin. I would urge you to specifically ask for him while booking your masaai tour with Axis. He has amazing knowledge and goes above and beyond his work duties.
For sure our safari tour wouldn’t have been this good with someone else.
Also credit to the company’s sales team for promptly answering all queries before the trip.
Amazing
The tour was very smooth and exactly what I had hoped for! The driver John was very punctual and helpful during the entire drive!

Willy was a steady driver and got us to our destination safely
We got to our destination (from Hoedspruit to Joburg) in ~ 5.5hours, with 2 stops in between that were well spaced. The vehicle was also in good condition, and we were comfortable with the space we had for the long ride (but we were fortunate also that we were the only ones in the 10 seater van).
Willy was friendly, and also accommodated to our request to do a quick stop to get some macadamia nuts when we saw street sellers selling them.

Willy our driver was responsive and drove well. He even helped us to find macadamia nuts when we told him we were looking to purchase some!

Our driver Thomas was fantastic
Thomas picked us up at our hotel and drove us safely over the mountains to our safari camp. He stopped so I could take pictures and was very kind. Great trip !

Professional Efficient Service
As a first time visitor to South Africa, I was unsure who to go to or the standard procedures for booking a safari trip. Knap set up communication on WhatsApp and patiently went through all the steps in detail, before I booked and paid money. They delivered on every aspect of the booking, and MacDonald was an excellent guide. All in all, in my opinion you won’t go wrong with these guys.

Amazing - a holiday of a lifetime
We chose e-trip after a recommendation on tripadvisor and reading their blog. A british couple who have travelled in Tanzania extensively and always used the services of e-trip. I am extremely happy that we made this choice. Communication was extremely quick answering all our queries. We also arranged a whatsapp call to help with the booking. The price point was perfect, the accommodation was great. Our guide and driver was just the best and he really made our trip exceptional (Alladin). How he navigated the dusty roads and managed to spot wildlife at the same time, we have no idea. But he managed to give us the most amazing viewings and experiences - coupled with his great sense of humour, cannot fault him at all.

Super friendly and very good organised
We had an amazing safari with epic gamedrives. Our gide Jonas was the best! He found all big fives and explained a lot. I really recommend him! Our group dynamic was very good (all in the same age). The campsites were also very nice and a great experience.

A wonderful first time Safari experience
We read the very good online reviews regarding Kojuu Safaris. This was our first safari experience and we were initially hesitant about not going with a mainstream tour operator. We need not have worried. Judith put together a fantastic tour experience taking in the grand migration/ calving experience in 3 different National Reserves. The accommodations were great. Throughout the process communication was speedy and proficient. We organised our own flights but we were met on time by our couriers without hitch. A special mention must go to Patrick, our safari guide. His knowledge was top notch and we managed to see all the Big 5. He was courteous, patient and very professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kojuu Safaris.

Incredible and Unforgettable Safari Experience!
Our 14 day trip with Sote Tours and Travel was truly amazing. We were six friends who traveled together and from day one, everything was done in a very professional and smooth way.
We kicked off our vacation in Zanzibar, where we had a chilled, out beach holiday. The island is a pretty heaven, but what made it even more worthwhile was how well everything was organized for us. We dropped by Prison Island, spent some time at the gorgeous sandbank of Nakupenda Beach, and dived into the local culture through the spice tour. A trip to see dolphins around Mnemba Island was one of the beautiful moments of our holiday. We also stopped by Mnarani Marine Turtles Conservation Pond, where we got to know turtle conservation initiatives. Each tour was perfectly timed, well, organized, and without the hassle.
The places to stay picked out by Sote Tours were of great standard and very suitable for our group. Said, our Zanzibar guide, was very knowledgeable, nice, and made every trip fun.
After our beach escape, Sote Tours took care of our internal flight to Arusha and there were no hiccups. At the airport, the team greeted us warmly and we were driven straight to Tarangire National Park to start our six, day safari expedition.
We went on a safari that took us to Ngorongoro Crater as well as the very famous Serengeti National Park. The time we spent among the animals in the wild was so great that it surpassed the limits of our imagination a huge number of animals of all kinds were there, and with a bit of luck, we saw all the Big Five. Reuben, our safariguide, was just marvelous: he was an experienced, calm, and very good hunter of wild animals. His knowledge about the nature reserves and the animals has brought in so much extra value to our experience.
Through the whole process, Sote Tours and Travel showed a very high standard of professionalism, good communication, and meticulous attention to detail. The six of us travelling together was at times tricky, but we were so well looked after that we could completely forget about any concerns and just enjoy our holiday.
Sote Tours and Travel, especially their guides Said (Zanzibar) and Reuben (safari), are highly recommended by us to anyone who is thinking of going to Tanzania. It was really a trip that you only get once in a lifetime.
