Outstanding organisation from Michelle for our multigenerational group
We had used Michelle previously to organise a family trip (9 of us then) in 2022 in the Cape.
This time (now ten in total) we had a more complex trip to organise. Six of us (two at 75, son and daughter in law, and two granddaughters 12 and 10) went on safari in the greater Kruger at two different private lodges- Inyati and Simbavati Waterside. We flew into Johannesburg then on to Skakuza and started at Inyati. A well established lodge open to animals wandering through. Terrific game viewing and wonderful guide/ tracker who were delighted our two granddaughters took such interest in the tracks and dung identification!
Then a 3 hour road transfer to Simbavati. A newer lodge but with a stunning location, rooms and position overlooking a dam which attracted lots of wildlife. An equally successful stay, with great wildlife.
In both we saw all the big 5 and some very special sightings- leopards mating, packs of wild dog pups in both lodges and lionesses killing a huge buffalo. It was also the little things that made it so interesting. About plants etc. My wife and I have been to about ten game reserves in Africa, India and Sri Lanka. This was by far the best trip.
Then we flew back to Johannesburg and on to Mauritius where we met our eldest son, his wife and two little grandsons (1 and 4). They were too young to join us on safari. We had just over a week at the excellent La Pirogue resort, just relaxing. An excellent resort especially for the children. We had beach pavilions all nearby each other.
Michelle organised everything except international flights and did it brilliantly. Her advise on the game lodges and choice of resort in Mauritius were spot on, as were the logistics and transfers. It’s the little things like remembering that car seats would be needed in Mauritius for the transfers that make the difference as well as listening to our needs and booking accordingly.
Thank you Michelle!

Knowledgeable
The Nairobi to Adis Ababa road trip was incredible overland adventure. My highlights were dorze tribe cultural experience, Hawassa night life and Adis leather market. Overall, well planned unique way to explore Ethiopia.

Amazing Safari Experience!
We had an amazing 4-day trip organized by Widman Tours & Safari. Their expertise and passion for wildlife truly shined through. The guides were knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the animals and landscapes. The scenery was breathtaking, especially the vast plains of Serengeti and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was well-organized, from game drives to accommodations. This trip was a highlight of our travels, and we’re grateful to Widman Tours & Safari for making it so special. Highly recommended!

Prepared perfect days and really nice guide.
We love to have private tours, so we had time and space to view all the stuff we wanted to see.
Often the drivers and guides think they are at New York or Zurich rush hour. Here we had time for the "small" ones too.
Birds, in all colours of the rainbow, and awesome times with Zebras, Crocodiles, Elephants, Girafs and so on.
We will take these guys again on our next travel to Tanzania. With love thanks for great times

A truly memorable adventure through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro
We had an unforgettable safari with Crater Explorer Tours, visiting Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide Joseph was fantastic, he always gave us plenty of time at the animal sightings, answered all our questions, and took great care of us. Thanks to him, we experienced so many incredible moments in nature.
A big thank you as well to our cook Joakim: the food was always fresh, delicious, and varied. The soups especially were outstanding!
It was a truly amazing trip with many unforgettable experiences and wonderful people. We can highly recommend Crater Explorer Tours! 🌍🐘🦁

Our guide Joseph made the trip truly special. He was extremely knowledgeable, very attentive, and always gave us the time we needed to enjoy the wildlife. At the same time, our cook Joakim spoiled us with fresh, tasty, and diverse meals. Together, they created a wonderful atmosphere and made us feel completely cared for throughout the journey.
This adventure exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can highly recommend Crater Explorer Tours to anyone looking for a memorable safari.

INCREDIBLE AND OUT OF THIS WORLD EXPERIENCE
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Out of This World Safari Experience – Beyond Expectations
From the very beginning, our safari trip was nothing short of extraordinary, and this was entirely thanks to Paul and his exceptional organisation. I can honestly say I did not have to worry about a single detail, everything was seamlessly taken care of.
Paul was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure our experience was perfect. He went above and beyond to listen to what we wanted, tailored the itinerary exactly to our wishes, and executed it flawlessly. It wasn’t just a trip; it was a once-in-a-lifetime journey crafted with care and precision. His communication was excellent throughout, and I felt completely comfortable putting all my trust in him, something I rarely do when travelling abroad.
The tour guide Sylvester was equally outstanding. He was knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate, which made the entire safari so much more meaningful. From spotting wildlife at just the right moments to explaining the smallest details about the Maasai Mara, his expertise added depth to every part of our journey.
What stood out most was how stress-free the entire trip felt. When travelling, there are moments of uncertainty or logistical headaches – but here, there was none of that it was completely smooth experience. Paul had anticipated everything, from transfers to accommodations and travelling. It truly felt like we could relax, immerse ourselves in the magic of Africa, and simply enjoy.
This was more than just a holiday, it was an unforgettable adventure that exceeded every expectation. I would not even consider booking with anyone else in the future. Paul has set the standard so high that I know he’s the only person I would trust to plan a safari again.

Trip of a lifetime all because of the amazing help from Tarasis and team!
We had the most incredible experience in Uganda, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Alps Trendy Safaris. Tarasis was absolutely amazing at helping us organize our gorilla trekking - super helpful, responsive, and communicative every step of the way. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Truly the trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend!
