Review about South Africa by Tobie Schalkwyk
South Africa has numerous private and national Big 5 nature reserves in addition to the Kruger National Park. Some of these cater explicitly for your high-paying dollar / pound users with excellent personal service and packages tailored to your needs. If you can't find a most rewarding safari package in South Africa, you won't find it any other place in the world! For someone not wanting an expensive holiday you'll never beat the KNP!

Mount Kenya - logistics by "Budget Africa Safari"
I work as Mountain Guide and I visit Africa quite often helping clients reach the summits they pursue. I have used Budget Africa Safari's services to help with the logistics in Kenya and I am most please with the way Edward handled the tasks given. As I was not in for a "canned" experience but had very specific requirements from dates, locations to staff and menu and all with high probability of change on short notice I was impressed with the way Edward and the staff from Budget Africa Safari helped me set up my trip. This is an outfit I will surely use again to handle my logistics on the trips to come.

Good and bad experiences during the trip but I will never forget it for sure
AfroLeisureTours made it possible for us to book our 3-days-safari-trip very spontaneously. That was pretty awesome. My boy-friend and me had a full safari van for ourselves with plenty of room.
The agency told us that we would arrive in our first camp in the late afternoon and start with our first game-drive afterwards. But our driver got lost or the calculation was wrong, am not pretty sure what was the problem but we arrived there at 11 p.m. when it was totally dark outside. So we missed our first game-drive and were pretty disappointed.
Thats why they upgraded us to a very nice and fancy Spa Resort to say sorry, which was pretty awesome again. But then the schedule didn't work out again because we had a driver change between the second and third (the last) day and the new driver arrived 1 1/2 hours too late in the morning for the game-drive. The game drive was very nice but because of lack of lunch packages we had to shorten our game-drive (everyone was too hungry to continue) but at least they paid a dinner in a small restaurant afterwards. All in all a lot went wrong but at least they tried to softened with extras like the resort on the second day.

Second Safari with EWA equaled the first—Wonderful!
This was my second safari with Ecological Wilderness Adventure (last one was in 2014). Again, the driver/naturalist/tour guide was amazing! He knew all the animals and their habits well. We found a leopard snoozing in an acacia tree and our guide, Gerard, said "We'll wait. It's about to rain and the leopard will come down out of the tree when it rains." That's exactly what the leopard did! Additionally, the accommodations and staff at our Serengeti Savannah Camp were excellent. We had comfortable tents, delicious meals and wonderful hot showers every evening. I hope I get to do a third safari in Tanzania. If I do, it will definitely be with Ecological Wilderness Adventures. They are amazing!

Beatyful Kenya
Hi had a Safary with Edward Lore and I say just one word, satisfaction! Edward was very patient to show us all the best of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and prepared to describe nature and animals.
Hope to travel with you again :-)!

First rate company for our first safari to Kenya
Just excellent services from the staff all the way to the owners, Minaz and Rahim. They made sure we were alright from the day we arrived in Nairobi, during our safaris in Meru, Samburu and Masai Mara till the day we left Kenya. The guides assigned to us were experienced and know their animals very well. We were so lucky to be able to see the big-5 including the elusive leopards and cheetahs. During the 10 days we were there the guides became our good friends and it was sad when we had to leave. Thank you Minaz & Rahim for the 5-star accommodations and the great service. We will come back. Haryanto.

Great Experience!
We arranged 5 day Safari in advance via internet. We were little bit skeptic at the beginning as Ibrahim required to send deposit in advance without any record. But we did so. Upon arrival to Moshi we met with Ibrahim and discuss plan for all 5 days. On very next morning our driver Fredy and chef Abdallah came to pick us up to the hotel. The safari was awesome, we saw 4 out of big 5 (rhinos were hidden), cheetah hunt, birth of impala, a lot of lions and many other animals. On the way to Serengeti car had broke and we were stuck for couple of hours on abandoned place in Ngorongoro. Fredy arranged another car for us to take us to Serengeti for a game drive. Despite little delay we enjoyed Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara as much as possible. I strongly recommend Afrishare for Safari tours.

It was unforgettable moment
The communication is very nice... Because they use fluent English. The services are also very good. I never expected such a place but I am glad.

Professional, friendly and Funny!
Mwajabu is the best!! She is funny, professional, she took care of every thing and all the details, we felt very safe and comfortable with her, I would recommend to book your safari with Hello Tanzania as they offer great deals as well.
Regarding Safari tour in Selous, I was expectinbg to see more animals and wildlife than that, so I would recommed Serengti if you are looking to see more carnivores

My trip to Botswanna with my two daughters
It was our first ever safari experience and it lived up to all our expectations and more. The Luxury Safari Company and our contact Rose was very efficient and responded to all of our questions and concerns immediately, which made the whole experience extremely easy. Any problems/change of schedule were quickly resolved for example my youngest daughter had an exam the day of the originally scheduled flight and Rose did not hesitate to change the internal flights and also ensured that she was met airside in Johannesburg to take her to her next flight. Every detail of the itinerary was executed and we had no issues with any transfers/transportation. Our trip to Botswana and Savute Lodge was fantastic and the two days in Cape Town were also wonderful. We would recommend this company to any of our friends and we will certainly use them again.
