It was terrific!
The tour was exceptional. My guide Sospeter is a funny witty and knowledgeable man who really knows his way around the parks and he provides insightful information about the animals we saw. And my trip culminated when I finally caught a glimpse of Kilimonjoro after a long day of worrying I might miss it because of the weather. It was Sospeter's superb driving skill and dedication that made this happen.

Great vacation in Rwanda
Very progressive country. View of the countryside is eye pleasing, very clean and roads are mostly all well paved. Chimpanzee and gorilla trekking are a bit a challenge, exciting but also satisfying when successful. Our tour company guides took care of us very well. 100% reliable. Thank you

A Trustworthy, reliable and incredible company
We went on a 5-day private safari and it turned out to be one of the most breathtaking experiences we’ve ever had. Everything was perfectly arranged, from the luxury hotels and lodges to the seamless itinerary covering Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide, Deo, was truly exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, vegetation, and history of each national park, and his passion and love for animals and nature made the entire experience even more special. He took us to unique spots far from the typical tourist routes, ensuring we had the best chances to see our favorite animals including cheetahs, rhinos, and even lion prides with cubs. Thanks to him, we witnessed a cheetah hunting, which was absolutely unforgettable.
If you want a truly premium safari experience, we can’t recommend this company highly enough and especially Deo. A genuine 10/10.

Responsive, detailed and informative communication
We booked 2 weeks with Kingfisher Safaris for October ‘25. This was our first safari and Martin helped us create itinerary for the first leg of our trip which included visits to Cape Town, Victoria Falls and the incredible Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. We are so glad we did it.
The second leg of our trip was a camping safari in Botswana’s Okavango Delta with a group of friends.
We loved every moment we spent in camps in Moremi and Khwai Concession. Our guide Pilot and the rest of the staff were there to make sure we have everything we need in order to feel as comfortable as possible. Pilot is one of a kind guide. He has decades of experience and very deep understanding and respect for the wildlife. I have to mention his great sense of humour as he made us laugh all the time. His dinner time stories were the best!
Thanks to Martin, Pilot and the ground staff, our trip was an amazing experience.

A perfect safari journey in Tanzania
I've just returned from a safari trip in Tanzania, and my excitement still lingers! The trip was so perfectly executed, and I truly owe my gratitude to the travel agency for its meticulous arrangements and the guide's professional guidance.
The itinerary recommended by Lao Wang was truly classic, covering the most quintessential parts of Tanzania, including the Serengeti National Park, a wildlife conservation area, and a flamingo tour at Lake Natron. Each day's schedule was impeccably planned, offering ample time for safari adventures as well as appropriate rest periods. The hotels we stayed in were highly professional and comfortable, with spacious and clean rooms, delicious food, and warm and attentive staff.
Of course, the greatest appreciation goes to our guide, Venance. Not only was he skilled in driving, but he also had an in-depth knowledge of the routes and animal behaviors. Under his leadership, we not only saw "the big five"—lions, buffaloes, leopards, and elephants—but also encountered numerous adorable animals such as hippos, warthogs, and giraffes. Venance could always accurately track down the animals and share his extensive knowledge with us, giving us a deeper understanding and appreciation of this land and its inhabitants.
This safari trip was, in every sense, a comprehensive wildlife experience. We not only saw all the target animals but also learned a lot about them, including interesting facts and anecdotes. I'm grateful to Lao Wang and Venance, as well as the entire travel agency team for their professionalism and dedication, which made this unforgettable journey possible. I highly recommend this trip to all friends who love nature and wildlife!

a magical trip with an extraordinary guide
I thank Marcelina for her availability in the months before our arrival and during our stay; she was always available to answer our questions and requests. And a big thank you to Michael, our guide, who made our stay wonderful. Always smiling, always available, and full of excellent advice, he adapted perfectly to our needs throughout the trip—a true ray of sunshine for us.
The trip was perfect

Welcoming, careful, professional
We just finished an amazing 6-day safari trip in Kenya with Tedwats Expeditions, and it was truly unforgettable.
Our itinerary covered Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru National Park, and every day was filled with surprises and incredible wildlife moments.
Our guide Goudana was exceptionally professional — knowledgeable, patient, and always able to spot animals we would’ve never seen on our own.
A special thanks to Teddy, who helped us plan the entire journey. He was incredibly patient with all our questions and made sure every detail was perfect.
We had so much fun and were deeply moved by the beauty of Africa’s landscapes and its wild, natural animals.
We will definitely come back again.
Highly recommend Tedwats Expeditions!

Outstanding guide, who had the nose for extraordinary wildlife sightings
We went on a 5 day Luxury safari (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and 2 days Serengeti) starting in Arusha and flying out from Seronera. With our guide Claus (I recommend him specifically!!) we were able to see not only the Big5 but also some specials like a Hippo chasing away a lion, a 20+ large lion family, a Cheetah defending his kids from a Hyena and the absolute highlight: a Leopard hunting a Warthog and feeding it to his babies. Claus‘ driving skills, his nose for wildlife, his knowledge and last but not least his social skills (He perfectly knows when to be quiet and when to tell or ask something or make a joke - certainly not easy with us stubborn europeans).
The lodges offered a really nice experience, especially worth to mention is Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge (5 course dinner, breathtaking view, luxurious room) and Kubu Kubu with herds of animals directly passing by the balcony and pool.
I recommend to book outside peak season like in our case November: There is almost no rain, the migration is not really going on but animals are around in huge numbers. When there are sightings of rare animals, you still are pretty much alone and don‘t need to queue up with 100 others.

A Truly 5 Star Experience
We had a tremendous time exploring Kenya with Beyond the Plains. The booking was straightforward and the team were very accommodating to our needs.
All of the accommodation and food was to a great standard and we were very fortunate to get to see all of the Big 5, Big 9 and even the Ugly 5 across our days.
Big shout out to our guide/driver Ben who took us absolutely everywhere for 8 whole days and definitely made the trip for us. He was friendly, informative and all around a lovely person. We were the only two in our vehicle and it made for an awesome and relaxing couples trip.
I would highly recommend Beyond the Plains for your Kenya safari experience.

10/10 overall, best experience!!
We booked Nhlalala Travel’s 4-day Kruger package several months in advance and from the very first email they were outstanding. Norman was quick to respond, super flexible, and happily customized our itinerary exactly the way we wanted. We even added extra passengers to the group shortly before departure and they made it completely seamless.
On the day of travel, our guide Norman picked us up from Johannesburg and handled the 6-hour drive to Kruger Gate Hotel (and back) comfortably and professionally. The Kruger Gate Hotel itself was fantastic; beautiful location right at the gate, lovely rooms, friendly staff, and great food.
Norman absolutely made the trip. He is hands-down one of the best guides we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, but also warm, funny, patient, and genuinely caring. Whenever we wanted to tweak the schedule or make changes, Norman adapted instantly and always delivered something even better than we expected. His passion for Kruger is contagious; you can tell he loves what he does.
We saw the Big 5 multiple times, countless elephants up close, wild dogs, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, lions, hippos, and had so many magical moments we’ll never forget.
Everything ran like clockwork, yet it never felt rushed or “touristy.” It felt personal and special from start to finish. Norman always stayed in communication on WhatsApp.
If you’re thinking of a Kruger safari, book with Nhlalala Travel and request Norman if you can; you will not regret it. Thank you Nhlalala team for an absolutely perfect experience. We can’t wait to come back!
