I can't imagine a better guide than Pieter!
I was a bit overwhelmed and scared to visit South Africa by myself, so having a guide that would pick me up from my hotel, and take me back to the airport was awesome. I am so happy that I chose Jewel of Africa, and the itinerary that included a variety of activities. Unfortunately, I got really sick with strep throat, but Pieter was a lifesaver. He found me a doctor, took me to the pharmacy, rearranged my itinerary twice to accommodate my unexpected illness, and coordinated with Cheetah Paw Ecolodge (wonderful place and people) to feed me soup because I was having such a hard time swallowing. I had neck surgery a few months ago, so Pieter made sure that I was able to ride in the front seat during game drives, and Cheetah Paw made sure I had enough pillows for the ride as well. I felt completely safe the whole time with such a good driver, which is a good feeling for a woman traveling alone in a foreign country. Pieter clearly loves South Africa, the bush, and the flora and fauna, and his passion made every part of my safari better. Jewel of Africa greatly exceeded my expectations. Thank you for taking such good care of me!!!

great stuff!
Hey there
We (couple 32yo) came from Dubai to Rwanda to visit the guerrillas. Never though it would be so great really. Guides very friendly and helpful, and the whole processed is very well arranged (mind that it's in pretty much wilderness, mountains have no paths etc.). We took medium distance route, and have to say seems right - don't go long unless you're really fit :)
Great thanks to guides, to community and to gorillas!

Wonderful Safari
We had a wonderful safari with shadows of Africa in Tanzania (6 days incuding Arusha NP, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Tangire). It started with the easy booking process and the flexibility regarding all wishes we had. Lesia created a great tour for my husband and me. Additionally she organized airport pick up and a lodge for the first night prior to the safari upon request. She also booked a transfer flight from Arusha to Zanzibar for us, which was much cheaper than anything we could find on the internet. During the safari, Mussa was our driver for the 6 days. He is really experienced and knowledgeable. He is super nice and could spot animals from far away. He always got us in the right spot to take beautiful pictures and made this experience really special. We had a great time with him. In Arusha National Park we did a walking safari which was included in our package, Shadows of Africa was the only company offering us this opportunity . And it was worth it, very nice experience to see animals close without the vehicle around. Even after the safari Lesia helped us to organize a guide on Zanzibar and a driver for Dar Es Salaam on our way back home. We can really recommend Shadows of Africa to everyone. You are dealing with people who are very helpful, reliable and honest. No hidden costs or promises they don’t keep.

4-day Ngorongoro and Serengeti
We had a fantastic 4-day safari to Ngorongoro and Serengeti with Bestday Safaris! We had booked our safari only a few days in advance and had contacted a lot of operators before eventually choosing Bestday Safaris. Peter from Bestday Safaris was very responsive to our email correspondance and met us as soon as we arrived in Arusha to prepare us for the trip. Both our guide and our cook exceeded our expectations and were very friendly. Our guide Godfrey was extremely good at spotting the animals and really made an effort to get as close as possible to the animals - we were fortunate to see most of the animals on really close hand! Our cook, Songoro, was such a pleasant guy and made great food for us the whole trip!
We can definitely recommend Bestday Safaris!!

Christopher prooved to be a fantastic and very helpful tour operator, sorting out problems for us.
The organisation and planning by Indigo (Christopher) was very good and in depth. The actual tour was operated by another company whom were also very good and provided us with an indepth, insightful tour, delivering all that was promised and more.

Wonderful overview of this beautiful and varied country
We knew very little of Namibia, but knew we wanted to see wildlife, indigenous culture and landscapes. We were not disappointed - in fact we were overwhelmed! The accommodation and transport were both very comfortable and the guide organised a perfect trip for us. He was very knowledgeable and personable and gave us an insight into the country which added to our enjoyment of it. Highly recommended.

We just loved every minute!
We just came back from a wonderful holiday in Zanzibar and Tanzania.
We have been on Safari and loved every minute. Everything was very well organized, this already started while making the booking. As soon as we received the very professional proposal, we were convinced that this was the company we would like to make our booking with.
Mr. Kamal replied always very quickly to our questions and planned a great trip for us.
We asked if we could get Mollel as our guide/driver, since one of my colleagues told me he was one of the best.
As soon as we were introduced to Captain (Mollel's nickname!) we knew this was going to be a great safari.
Captain was able to answer all our questions during the safari en gave us so much information about all the wildlife and nature. We loved the hotels we stayed in and would like to come back one day for a 3-day safari during the migration from December till May.
Thank your Safari Care (especially Kamal and Mollel) for a lifetime experience! Highly recommended!

What an amazing experience
I recently traveled to Maasai Mara and Lake Naivasha with Amazing Memories
Safaris and i could not be more pleased .The accommodations they offered
were 1st class, the guide Moses was knowledgeable, experienced and
informative. Transportation came off without a hitch. We toured the two
parks together with a friend and it could not have been better.
We specifically would like to appreciate our tour planner Joseph, he was
very
helpful throughout the planning process on helping us with the choice of
accommodations.…This outfit can more than fulfill your Kenyan dream Tour..
their attention to detail sets them apart from the ordinary tour
companies.We would Highly Recommend them to those planing to visit Kenya.
