Fabulous 🤩
I booked the Johannesburg: Lesedi Cultural Village Experience and had the pleasure of Padney as my tour guide.
Absolutely fabulous man. And the reason I would book with this tour company again.
The tour ended up on a 1-1 basis and was great from the start. Being picked up, walked around the village with me and kept me safe and happy. He gave insights into south Africa and shared his knowledge on the local area.
Such a pleasure to meet you and I wish you all the best with the future.

This met our expectations of a professional agency that adapts to needs.
Joel's responsiveness was very efficient in preparing the trip by answering all our questions. This made our experience fabulous, magnificent and unforgettable. The guide we had "Jacob" is very professional, competent, attentive and speaks French correctly. It was a very beautiful trip with this company that I recommend. We visited the Tarangirre, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The organization was perfect and we saw many animals and incredible scenes. A trip that we recommend with this agency. David and Cathy

Great mid-range safari. Covered all the bases - game drives, lodging, transportation, safety.
Safari was much more than I expected. Our guide was Isaac, he knew the park like the back of his hand. Took us to all the right places to see the wildlife and the beauty of the Massi Mara.

Organized and well coordinated support
It was the hardest and longest hike for me (Mt Kenya Lenana). However, a team of Tilman Safaris including a professional and calm guide (Anthony), fantastic cook (lot of vegetables and warm meals when most needed), kind porters made the hike as comfortable and assuring possible. Through the booking, all the questions and concerns were answered promptly. It was a fantastic experience! Highly recommended.

Altruistic, selfless, noble tour guides and operators with nothing but furaha to give!
Look no further for you have found the most accommodating and generous safari company of all. I spent days emailing and contacting many safari groups and landed on this one due to the level of service and addons that no other company could match. My circumstance was quite unique as i landed at 1am local time so i needed a company that would help with this obscurity. Ketura, the wonderful behind the scenes agent was more than helpful contacting me at all times of the day (dealing with my california timezone). Through our communication he offered an airport pickup, a hotel to sleep in (Summit lodge which was wonderful) and a hotel at the end of our safari (Karibu heritage which was beautiful and wonderful). We then began our safari 7am Sunday, 6 hours after we landed because i like to make the most of my time and Ketura was so accommodating to that. . We left our luggage at Summit and took only what we needed to the safari. Ketura stayed in communication for anything that we needed the whole safari trip and honestly i didnt need anything because Ketura and Travel Africa company fulfilled any and all needs that i myself didnt even know i needed!
Now for the best guide in the world, Godfrey!!!! The safari itself was amazing but made into way more due to the kindness and generosity of Godfrey. He was so grateful and self sacrificial it was awe-inspiring. Godfrey made a safari into a beautiful journey with wide array of information and so much attention and care to all the participants needs. He constantly asked if we were good, happy/furaha, he taught me some Swahili and he always asked if we needed to stop or needed more time for the animals! He was just wonderful !! I couldnt ask for a better company and guide and am so grateful to have had them.

Our safari journey with Michael was mind-blowing and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our three-day safari trip through Tanzania during our honeymoon was an absolute dream come true and exceeded all our expectations. We chose to explore the Serengeti on the first two days and Ngorongoro on the third, and each moment was filled with breathtaking sights and unforgettable experiences.
Our guide and driver, Michael, was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of the fauna and flora of both Serengeti and Ngorongoro made every game drive incredibly insightful. Beyond being a guide, Michael felt like a friend sharing in our excitement and helping us check off every animal on our to-see list. We only missed leopards, which makes us even more eager to return someday. The conversations with him were enriching, and his warmth and passion deeply enhanced our trip.
The accommodations were wonderful. On day one, we stayed in a beautiful lodge with stunning amenities such as an outdoor shower and a terrace jacuzzi, which unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy (we arrived to our lodge for a dinner and left around 7am). The second night was spent in a luxurious complex in a town outside Serengeti, which provided a restful and comfortable stay.
Travel logistics were smooth, including inbound and outbound flight transfers (with a truly memorable small plane ride for 18 passengers!) and seamless transfers to and from our hotel in Zanzibar. Although we left Serengeti around midday on day two, the drive between parks took a few hours, so planning accordingly is important. Michael took care of everything and made sure we are happy about everything during the planning process! Some of our fondest memories are the outdoor lunches with Michael in the midst of breathtaking landscapes.
To sum up, this whole journey was mind-blowing and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are incredibly grateful for every moment and would highly recommend this itinerary to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable safari adventure in Tanzania.

Luxury safari experience
This 12-day private safari was a dream come true for our family. From spotting a lion in the Maasai Mara National Reserve to spotting a flock of pink flamingos in Lake Nakuru - every day was incredible.
Elephant watching in the backdrop of snow capped mountains of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park is an absolutely priceless experience. And seeing the numerous wildebeest migrations in Serengeti National Park, it seemed like we were watching the world's largest nature drama live.
The guide was extremely knowledgeable and caring, making every moment comfortable. Seven Wonders Safaris really takes care of every detail.

Professional, Punctual & Perfectly Organized
This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. The team at Africa Moja was extremely professional, and every transfer and tour was on time and stress-free. The accommodation was top-tier, and the safaris were breathtaking. You can tell they truly care about their guests.

Avoid Lush Africa Safaris – Poor Management, Broken Promises, and Unsafe Vehicles
I do not recommend Lush Africa Safaris. Abbey, the owner, was terrible about communication unless it involved asking for more money. He would outright lie, claiming things were booked when they weren’t, and failed to follow through on commitments and providing pertinent information. I had to repeatedly remind him about details, and his last-minute scrambling caused us significant stress and lost sleep.
The vehicle we were given in Uganda was awful—not a “luxury” vehicle at all. The seatbelts, AC, cooler, and even the armrest didn’t work. On our very first day, before we had even started the safari, we got a flat tire on the highway. Then, two days in a row, we had a dead battery, which nearly caused us to miss our chimp trekking. We lost hours dealing with these issues and waiting for a replacement vehicle. When I raised these concerns with Abbey, he dismissed them with a simple “sorry to hear about your situation with the vehicle.” This is HIS company, and according to one of our guides, he owns the vehicles. He knew—or should have known—that what he provided was neither the luxury safari vehicle he promised nor even a safe vehicle for such a trip.
He also didn’t book our flight from Kigali to Nairobi until just 36 hours before departure, despite assuring me it had been booked more than two months earlier. This caused us to have to change our itinerary at the last minute as he didn’t put us on the flight he told me we would be on. On top of that, he forgot to book our hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti—even though it had been paid for nearly a year in advance.
The one positive: the tour guides themselves were excellent, especially Derrick in Uganda. He was outstanding, and I truly hope he finds another company to work for—he’s far too good to be tied to someone who caused as much stress and disappointment as Abbey did.
