It's going ok
Very good tour guide and driver. Amazing scenery, very good food! We saw all the animals, from elephants, lions, zebras, hypos etc. Quite poor organisation by African Flower, problems with payments, last tour to Kilimanjaro was cancelled as there was no time to do it in the given time. Did not get the money back. Poor information about details, start times, end times. Unrealistic time planning.

Way beyond amazing!
Our safari with Topy Tours was way beyond amazing! Huge thanks especially to our guide Amour who has been such a wonderful guide, animal-tracker, driver, and story-teller - all at once! Thanks to Amour's eagle eyes and outstanding tracking skills, we saw all big five and many more species in amazing settings. For instance, we saw a cheetah mum with her cubs feeding on a fresh prey, lions hunting buffalos and gnus, and breastfeeding lion cubs. Amour also had a plenty of exciting stories to share so the time spent on roads passed by very quickly. We also felt very safe with him on the unpredictable dirty roads and in the middle of national parks where he knew exactly the do's and don'ts for an enjoyable and safe safari.
Moreover, communication with Jackson was very smooth from the beginning. The initial offer was very professional and offered a great value for money, including an amazing hotel selection, ranging from small boutique hotels and lodges to bigger ones, but all very well chosen. Jackson's offer was also one of the rare ones including Gran Melia in Arusha, the best hotel in town.
Finally, we were very happy to be able to go with Topy Tours as a local SME tour operator as opposed to big foreign travel agencies.

Caring.
Great staff all round. We were driven around by Ranger, that's his name. Truly experienced guide. At one point we came head on face to face with the biggest animal in the land. I don't know what would have happened had I been behind the wheel of that vehicle. My instincts were that Ranger would quickly place that vehicle in reverse and we'd try and wind our way back through that narrow jeep track. But to my utter shock, Ranger turned the ignition off as the elephant came charging towards us stopping within 2 metres of trampling us to oblivion. I was literally saying my last prayer. Not Ranger. He stayed calm. Experience counts and trust me, when I do head back there again, which I will, Xaa Safaris will definitely be my number one choice. Ranger's your guy. Thanks to the entire Xaa safaris team for an amazing experience and the great food. See you again soon.

Very helpful and really accommodating to our needs!
We booked a safari through Discover Africa for Botswana and Zambia and it was fantastic! Chrizaan was super helpful and accommodating, especially when we had to change our dates of travel slightly. She worked with the lodges to accommodate us and found a solution. She booked us in terrific tented safari lodges in Botswana with the nicest staff and very comfortable, modern accommodations. We were so fortunate to see the "Big 5" and even cheetahs with our trusted guides and we also encountered very beautiful birdlife. We found the price of the trip to be reasonable and the food and lodgings were all very good.
It was a wonderful trip that we'll remember forever and we highly recommend Discover Africa for booking your trips!!

Unforgettable experience with Angelino adventures
We had an amazing time exploring northern Tanzania with Angelino Adventures, and everything was perfectly organized. Our guide, Beatus, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and made sure every moment of the trip was special.
Our first stop was the Chemka Hot Springs – a beautiful, relaxing oasis with crystal-clear water surrounded by lush trees. It was the perfect way to unwind and start the journey.
Next, we visited Materuni Village, where we hiked to the stunning waterfall and enjoyed a hands-on coffee-making experience with the local Chagga people. The scenery was breathtaking and the cultural experience was truly enriching.
The highlight was the 2-day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. In Tarangire, we saw herds of elephants, giraffes, and even a pride of lions! The park’s ancient baobab trees were magical. The next day at Ngorongoro Crater, we were lucky to spot rhinos, hippos, and a wide variety of wildlife all within the stunning landscape of the crater.
Thanks to Beatus and Angelino Adventures, every part of the trip felt smooth, safe, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this company if you’re planning a trip to Tanzania!

Excellent and professional team at Wayfairer Travel who handled every detail with utmost care
The mobile safari with Peake's Safaris set up was very raw, very bare and very basic. But it was extremely well put together. The food, the service and the guiding was of top quality.
The Chobe Elephant Lodge was also excellent with their guiding, service and quality of their rooms and facilities. We did not think their food was great, and their meal timings were also very awkward and did not suit us.
We had some excellent sightings across both areas, and enjoyed every bit of our holiday.
Thank you to Wayfairer too for handling the entire process from the initial call with Colin about what we would like to do for the holiday, to Prada who helped with every bit of paperwork and logistics, until we landed back from the holiday - every step of the way was easy and very professional.
