An unforgettable 10-day safari experience - with Safari360
Our 10 day trip was a dream come true. From start to finish, everything was very well planned by Petro; he answered all the questions patiently and made us very confident before the trip.
Our guide was Exaud, who was not only a driver but also a wonderful teacher. Every day he takes us to new places - the elephant herds of Tarangire, the lions in the trees of Lake Manyara, and the scenes of the Great Migration in the Serengeti - all in a way that seems to be reserved only for us.
Exaud's wisdom and patience have impressed us. We learned a lot about elephant behavior, lion hunting techniques, and even the lives of small birds. Accommodations were very comfortable, and the food was excellent. The sunrise and sunset every day make our trip even more special.
This trip will be the best trip of our lives for Safari360. Thank you, Petro and Exaud - we have returned home with a wonderful experience because of you.

Incredible experience!
Great Safari experience! We were in Kenya for our honeymoon and Jackson was our driver. He is a great Safari guide and he is tireless! He drove all over Kenya National Parks with us! We will miss him. Thank you also to Bildad for helping us organizing the best Safari trip. Asante sana!

Safari Life is highly recommended for a worry-free safari!
We booked a 4D3N stay in Sabi Sands and Kruger and it was an efficient, flawless, and stress-free coordination with Safari Life c/o Rochelle. She offered options to go with our budget until we came to the end result which offered us the most value for money. Safari Life made all the arrangements including our pick up and return to Johannesburg in a comfortable car. Our accommodations at Umkumbe River Lodge and Langa Langa Safari Camp are comfortable and secure. Umkumbe in particular offered light breakfast and sundowners during game drives which made the experience extra special. The food in both accommodations are superb, the staff so kind, and our game drive guides so knowledgeable especially Thomas in Langa Langa. Most important to note, we saw the Big 5 in this part of the Greater Kruger area in such a short stay! Rochelle who was our main contact with Safari Life has been very accommodating, flexible, and proactive in communicating arrangements. I truly appreciate that I felt her assistance and care from start to finish.
I highly recommend booking with this tour company!

He was very open-minded, funny, nice and informed us so well about everything we wanted to know:-)
We did a one day safari to Tarangire National Park and it was amazing! Our guide prepared everything for us and informed us about everything the day before. He bought water and Chapati for us and organized a lunch package, which was really good, however not vegetarian. We were so lucky to see so many animals - lions, zebras, giraffes, ostriches, a cheetah, lots of elephants, Pumbaas, monkeys and of course breathtaking landscapes. I felt very safe and comfortable and I enjoyed this day a lot - I will always remember this adventure. Thank you so much!

Excellent service while booking the trip and constant interaction during and after the trip as well.
Booking with Explore Plus was effortless. We booked a trip to the Serengeti in May. Naomi and Rita were fantastic and ensured that all our needs were met. They even went out of their way to send us a birding book with other customers, who they met at the airport (we live in a different city).
Their partners in Tanzania were amazing. Our ranger was excellent - he was very knowledgeable and made sure our trip was unforgettable. All flights, transfers, hotels, hot air balloon ride and food was exceptional. The Serena group of hotels were beautiful, comfortable and the food was delicious. The entire trip was excellent value for money. We had a fantastic, awesome trip that we will remember always. I will definitely book with Explore Plus again in the future.

Perfect Experience
We had an incredible time on the 3 day tsavo safari run by tanke tours and our driver/ guide Yusuf. The entire trip was perfectly organized from start to finish, professional, educational and entertaining. Our guide was well prepared, knowledgeable and always happy to accommodate any changes or special requests we had. We saw a lot of wildlife the park has to offer and the ride was comfortable as well. Lastly, even the hotels organized by Tanke were perfect, down to the choice of the best rooms in each hotel which we could not have known in advance at all. Overall a fantastic experience I cannot recommend enough!

From the very first moment, everyone was very attentive, and help make changes as we needed some.
We loved our Safari guide, China. We saw so many animals he seemed to know exactly where to go to find them. The crater floor was incredible.
We would recommend this company and it’s operator to anyone.

Great tour company.
My experience with Serengeti African Tours was awesome. My tour agent Inviolata, was easy to work with and kept me informed all the time, even helped me book a shuttle to Nairobi. My driver Peter, was the best. He talks to you about the animals, answers questions and tries to do the best to take you to places where you should see the animals you want to see. He was also accommodating with the schedules and when I needed to get some souvenirs. You guys made my experience in Tanzania amazing. A+ to you guys. Keep up the good work.

Michelle was knowledgeble, asked excellent questions and guided us resulting in the perfect safari!
This trip could not have been more perfect. We arrived in Johannesburg and stayed at the Intercontinental and headed back to the airport to jump on a plane to Zimbabwe the following morning. We had lunch at the Look Out Cafe which overlooked the mighty Zambezi River and then headed to Victoria Falls for a private tour. The falls were gorgeous and our guide provided an excellent overview. We then headed to the Royal Livingstone in Zambia where we were greeted by zebra and giraffe on property. While checking in, we were provided with wine and the staff catered to us and all guests around the clock. We were celebrating my birthday and came back from dinner one evening to find a bottle of wine and a birthday cake. We must give a shout out to Edward. He was amazing! The next day we took a jetti boat up the river to the Elephant Cafe which is an elephant sanctuary. We spent time with 3 of the elephants on property and their trainers. The interactions were incredible! We were then greeted by the staff and chefs who walked through every course we would be having for lunch. I have severe food allergies and the chefs could not have been more attentive in altering the menu for me. We would highly recommend you visit this cafe. Our last day in Zambia was relaxing and included a sunset cruise on the river. The sunset was heavenly. We then headed to Cape Town and hiked Lions Head, did a tour of the Peninsula and also spent a day in the Stellenbosch wine country doing tastings. The views and wine were spectacular. We didn't want to leave. Antony was our guide both days. He was incredibly friendly and informative! We then concluded the trip with a safari and stayed at Shumbalala Game Lodge. Words can't describe this experience. Our room was spacious and upon request, the staff would light a fire in our room every evening. The room was stocked with insect repellent, sunscreen, we had heavy jackets for morning game drives, blankets and also water babies to keep us warm. Elephants daily drinking not just from the watering hole but also from the plunge pools. Danielle and her staff were remarkable. Each evening, we rotated where we ate dinner so outside overlooking the watering hole, inside, in the wine cellar and then to our surprise, they moved a table into our room and we had a romantic, candlelight dinner the last evening. A warm bubble bath was also drawn with rose petals and candles surrounding it. This lodge sleeps 14 people max and I highly recommend it as the experience is so intimate. Calvin (our driver) and Tony (our tracker) became like family. The animal viewing was spectacular. We saw elephant, lions, leopard, buffalo, rhinos, giraffe and the list goes on! We took morning and evening game drive breaks that involved pastries, juices, snacks and cocktails. Everything was top notch. Calvin and Tony also spent a good amount of time educating us on the animals. These guys have taken classes and continue to study animal behaviors, tracks, etc. We can't wait to go back and introduce our children to this lodge and this amazing experience which we have Michelle to thank for. I've worked with travel agents who are opinionated and push you in one direction and Michelle was the anthesis of this. She asked questions, listened and gave excellent advice. We have immense appreciation for all she did to create a long lasting memory for us. Thank you, Michelle!
