Highly Recommend
We booked our safari through East Cape Tours, who provided excellent service, managing to fit in our dates by swapping us between lodges and the free transfer from Port Elizabeth was an unexpected - and reliable - bonus.

Unforgettable safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha National Park
My friends and I went on our first safari adventure with Takims Holidays recently and it was absolutely amazing. We had amazing encounters with wildlife and the accommodation recommended by Takims Holidays was perfect. We also had a great guide who was able to answer all our questions about the wildlife and local ecosystem. Although all the parks were amazing, I was surprised that Arusha national park was so quiet being so close to the city and for that it stood out as being the hidden gem for us.

Zane Posthumus: great support /communucations
I had the unfortunate event of serious back injury just 3 weeks before the trip. The on-line rep, Zane Posthumus, was very sympathetic and helpful / accommodating when rearranging the trip. She assured that pick-up/drop-off to and from Sabi Sand of my fellow traveler, who spoke no English and traveling alone, would be on-point without any confusion. He had no trouble getting there and had the time of a lifetime! Thank you, Zane!

“Great Tour Company, thrilling gorilla trekking in the mist in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest”
I and my friends were overwhelmed by the exhilarating tour to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Under Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd, we went to Trek the gentle giant - the mountain Gorilla - we were professionally handled by our tour guide Joseph Olupot who was friendly and helpful. The Gorilla Trekking was well organised and the park rangers were magnificent. Should you desire to have a great experience while on holiday, consider Uganda and Charis Uganda Safaris Ltd.

Review about Ruaha National Park by Sergej Osipov
Ruaha was probably the most splendid park we have spent time in. Beautiful Baobab valley on the way there and hundreds of elephants inside the park along with all other kind of wild life did make a huge impression.

Splendid and variable scenery with great wildlife encounters
Altogether, we have spent around 3 weeks in Tanzania. After arrival to Dar Es-Salam, we have rented the cars and headed directly to Selous Game Reserve that took us around 6 hours to get. We have spent the night just outside the park in a beautiful lodge just next to the river. We have brought all the equipment like kitchen and sleeping tents with us, so we could sleep in the camps inside the park and be able to prepare the food. It was the beginning of November and spring was coming, it was quite hot already but we thought it would be perfect timing to go to Safari destinations. With the first rays of light, we have entered Selous Game Reserve Park, as we were planning to spend the night at the campsite inside the park, we had to bring a guide with us, and he was very friendly and with a lot of knowledge about the wildlife. He had spent the night with us in the camp, during the daytime we have done a few walks, and game drives. Almost for 3 days, we were driving around the park, which has a big variety of sceneries and as a consequence a lot of different wildlife.

Fantastic place needs more cats.
When i went the weather was fine in the mornings, not too cold. Throughout the day it got very warm so sunscreen and a hat is vital in a tour jeep. The animals were amazing. The first time we saw an elephant we were over the moon. We then came to learn how common they were. The cats were very illusive and in 3 days we saw lions at a distance once and a single leopard walking through dense bush. The boards in the camps and park facilities saying where the animals were was very helpful. I understand why rhino's were not allowed but a little frustrating from a tourist perspective. I would recommend always using the jeeps. One day we had to travel through the park and used a minibus the glass made pictures a lower quality and it was hard to get a good view.

Review about South Africa by neill_scog
South Africa is a beautiful place with lots to see and do. I thought it felt very safe too as long as you were on the tourist trail. I would think twice before venturing out alone at night in town though.

perfect guide for amazing safari.
We booked for Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngongorongo. Because of the season the operator changed Lake Manyara for Tangarire. Accommodation was perfect, good tents, good camps. Guide Gidion was an nice guy and knew everything about the animals and birds.
