Ethiopia trip was seamless, enriching, and unforgettable thanks to Maereg’s expert planning and care
My 10‑day journey through Ethiopia was nothing short of extraordinary, and I owe so much of that experience to my tour planner, Maerag. The itinerary he prepared was thoughtful, seamless, and incredibly rich I t was a perfect balance of history, culture, and unforgettable encounters.
From the moment I arrived in Addis Ababa, everything was organized with care.
Gondar was another highlight. Walking through the castles and learning about their connection to the Egyptian empress felt like stepping into a living story. My guide’s knowledge brought every stone and corridor to life.
Celebrating Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Lalibela at Saint Mary’s Church was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. The atmosphere, the devotion, and the beauty of the rock‑hewn churches were unforgettable, and I’m grateful for how smoothly everything was arranged.
The Omo Valley was where the trip became truly immersive. Meeting tribes who walk on stilts, seeing intricate body‑painting traditions, dancing with community members, and witnessing a bull‑jumping ceremony were moments I will carry with me forever. These experiences were only possible because of my guide’s deep connections and respect for the communities we visited.
On my 2 last days, I explored the city, visiting the cultural centre, and learning at the Addis Ababa University Ethnographic Museum gave me a strong foundation for understanding Ethiopia’s depth and diversity.
Throughout the entire trip, flying from city to city, navigating different regions, and engaging with so many cultures. I felt supported, informed, and inspired. My guide’s professionalism, warmth, and expertise elevated every moment.
I wholeheartedly recommend Maereg and some of his team to anyone considering a tour of Ethiopia. If you’re planning a trip, you’ll be in excellent hands, and you’ll experience Ethiopia in a way that is authentic, meaningful, and truly unforgettable.

Highly recommended!
We booked our Tanzania safari and Zanzibar stay with SVAI, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was quick and clear on WhatsApp, every transfer was on time, and our guide was professional, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. The itinerary was well planned, the lodges were great, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. SVAI handled details and last-minute questions with real patience, which made the whole trip feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommended!

A seamless and richly rewarding safari from beginning to end
From the very first click to the final airport goodbye, this experience felt effortlessly choreographed. Every detail unfolded smoothly, leaving us free to simply enjoy the journey.
Our guide, Simon, was the truly outstanding as a driver, guide and travelling companion. He is a wellspring of insight, warmth, and quiet attentiveness. His passion and generosity of spirit elevated each moment, turning a great trip into an unforgettable one. We felt genuinely cared for throughout. A wholehearted recommendation, without hesitation.
It was seamless, sincere, and richly rewarding from beginning to end. Every memory lingers like a postcard we’ll gladly revisit.

Absolutely Sublime.
Myself, my wife and my parents have just got back from Uganda after going on Kajie Safaris '8- Day Big-5, Gorillas & Chimpanzee Ultimate Trip'.
In short, we had the best holiday we've ever been on. Our tour guide/ driver was Arafat, who was very knowledgeable and experienced. He was a fantastic guide communicated with us well so we knew the itinerary and where and when we had to be places. Did a great job communicating with other guides within the National Parks trying to located 'The Big 5'. We managed to see all the animals we were hoping for and then some. We also had a laugh making some A.I videos with Grok :D
The lodges we stayed in surpassed all expectations, they were incredible, and the food at the lodges was superb. We would 100% recommend using Kajie Safaris if you are planning a tour around Uganda. Everything from the booking, to payments, communications with Ronald and his team etc was very smooth, and we felt completely relaxed through the process. And they're a local tour company rather than an intentional one.
Don't just think about it, book it!

Highly recommended!
We went on a 13 day safari organised by Beyond the Plains and we have to say that everything was excellent starting with the initial communication. Replies were always prompt and precise and we were able to tailor the safari according to our preferences.
John, our guide, was great and did everything possible to make sure we had the best possible experience.
Communicating, with Andrew, was easy and very reliable - we always felt that somebody was looking after us to make sure it all worked out as planned.
We wanted to make the most of our trip and were fortunate enough to see quite a lot of Kenya and a great variety of parks. What a beautiful country and great experience for all of us, thank you!

Amazing! Very helpful, organises everything and kept in contact
This is a delayed review but I wanted to share how brilliant this experience was. I was a solo traveller in June and contacted Xavier. He made me feel comfortable and safe and arranged everything with his team member James. James was the driver and again went above and beyond to ensure I had a great time with my group. I would recommend a group as you make new connections and memories with other like minded people. Lots of phot opportunities too. Value of money was brilliant so go for it!

Honeymoon Safari Exceeded Our Expectation
Our honeymoon safari with Tanzania Wildlife Adventures was unforgettable. From the start, Patrick and the team took care of everything, crafting a perfect itinerary. Musa was our guide as we explored Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, each offering unique wildlife and stunning landscapes.
Accommodations were top-notch, from the welcoming Springlands Hotel to the remote Serengeti Wild Camp and Ikoma Wild Camp. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, thanks to the dedicated team. We highly recommend them for an authentic Tanzanian adventure.

Efficient and knowledgeable,
My trip to Namibia was unforgettable. I booked with Indigo Safari, and Michele was excellent—very efficient, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. She wasn’t pushy at all and was clearly very experienced. Michele understood what I wanted and created an itinerary that was spot on, covering Etosha National Park, Swakopmund, Sesriem, Sossusvlei, and Windhoek. I would highly recommend her to anyone booking a trip to Africa, and I would definitely book with her again for future trips.

Amazing Safari !
From the very beginning, the communication during the booking process was great and very prompt, which gave us a lot of confidence. Everything that was promised was fully delivered by Steve, with no disappointments at all.
We did a 1-night Tsavo East safari, and it was perfectly organized. We were assigned a top-notch driver and guide, Arnold, who truly made our game drives fantastic. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and made a real effort to ensure we had the best possible wildlife sightings and overall experience.
Overall, it was a fantastic safari experience with Steve and Richard Safaris, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari.
