Friendly, helpful and professional
We did a 5-day safari through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Jacmiya Safaris. Our guide Francis was excellent and did his best to give us the best experience. The lodges chosen by the agency were excellent. We were truly pleased with the experience and would recommend the agency. Thank you Jackie for organising our trip and taking good care of us. We will be back again!

Lukianos enthusiasm for nature is contagious!
Lukiano, the chef of Lion Guides, is the best guide, we ever met. He is an expert in flora, fauna and wildlife and he loves to share his knowledge with his guests by telling personal stories, full of humor and details about animals behavior. Every question was answered!
Our game drives and walking safaris were varied and successful; we were able to observe Africa’s Big Five and countless other species up close, especially his enthusiasm for birds made us listen and searching for all the species.
In addition he is an excellent driver, even under bad road conditions. All Lodges and the hole trip had a diligent planning, we experienced great hospitality.
We came as customes and left as friends! Thank you very much Lukiano!

Beautiful Safaris
The safaris were really beautiful!
Very well organized, and the guides were very sweet. There is a small communication problem in the transfers from one park to another, but without that issue, it was wonderful. I would recommend.
If I could give 4.5 I would do it.

1st class service.
We travelled from our hotel in the South of Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park on a 1day safari. We were collected from our hotel, taken to the domestic airport terminal in a luxury vehicle and flew in a small propeller aircraft (14seater) directly into the National Park landing on the dirt airstrip, the flight itself was incredibly exciting. As we approached Mikumi airport we spotted giraffes and elephants from the sky!! We landed and were immediately introduced to our driver and guide Frank. What a top notch guide. He knew where to go and what we wanted to see. We saw Lions, elephants, giraffe, hippos, zebra, antelope, birds galore!! Lunch was very good and just being in that environment was so incredible. Our experience with Uwanda Tours and Safaris was superb, don’t panic if they don’t contact you until the day before you are going on your safari, they will!!

A Seamless and Spectacular Safari!
We had an incredible experience with The Kruger Safari Co. from start to finish. The logistics were flawless—from the prompt airport pickup to the smooth transfer back on our final day.
Our guides were fantastic, preparing a delicious dinner right after our first night drive and ensuring our full-day safari was packed with amazing sightings. We felt well-informed and taken care of throughout the entire trip.
If you're looking for a reliable, well-organized, and high-value safari experience, look no further. We couldn’t have asked for a better adventure!

Great experience
My husband and I, we came S.Africa to experience great hospitality of people and view and we’ve received for sure today from our tour driver Radzani. He took his time to point things out for us along way from Johannesburg to Tembo Guest Lodge. We’ve became a great friend and I love his positive energy and willing to listen and learn from each other. Highly recommend Radzani as guide/Driver.

Most friendly, motivated and service-oriented guy imaginable.
The tour couldn't have been better. A great adventure with many highlights and even a salty pool session in the desert. The guide and company owner Asho and his team mates provided all the support needed, and more. Always in for a good laugh or an interesting story - excellent.
Thanks for everything!

Unforgettable solo adventure in Northern Ethiopia with Essence Ethiopia Tours
I booked a 10-day tour as a female solo traveler with Essence Ethiopia Tours and it was probably one of the best trips in my life. Tsehaynew, in the lead on organizing the logistics of my all-inclusive trip, and based in Addis, was very responsive since the first contact and ensured extremely smooth coordination. In the preparatory phases, he accommodated all my preferences in terms of itinerary and later, he remained flexible and attentive in order to adjust the trip, even along the way, to offer the best experience. Starting from Addis, my itinerary included Lalibela, Gondar, the Simien Mountains National Park, Bahir Dar, the Danakil Depression and Axum. In each location, a dedicated driver and guides were waiting for me, and I had guided tours every day of my trip, which contributed enormously to my understanding of the places I was visiting. All of the staff I met on my way, coordinated by Tsehaynew, were extremely cordial. In terms of safety/security, the Gondar-Bahir Dar area axis demands caution due to the prevalence of anti-government militias. I would recommend minimizing road transfers as much as possible, while rather reaching the various destinations by plane to ensure a safe experience. The domestic flight network is indeed very well organized, flights are very short (1 hour at most), and with the help of Essence Ethiopia Tours, the airport pickup/drop-off and check in formalities go really fast and smooth. Overall, I would really recommend this tour operator. Tsehaynew went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience, and he has a great sense of hospitality and client orientation. I left Ethiopia knowing that I will return sometime, and I will definitely reach out to Essence Ethiopia Tours again.

Awesome
We had an incredible 3-day safari with Serengeti Precious Safaris visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Everything was perfectly organized, from the itinerary to the guiding. We saw amazing wildlife and enjoyed every moment of the experience. The team was professional, friendly, and made our trip truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Company, Outstanding Service - Above the Rest! Highly Recommended
We had the trip of a lifetime with African Hagyko Safaris. From my very first communication with the company, I was incredibly impressed. Bernard’s professionalism, prompt replies, and genuinely courteous support were far above and beyond any other safari company I had compared. He answered every question with care and made the entire planning process feel seamless and trustworthy.
Once on safari, our guide Harrison made the experience unforgettable. With 30 years of experience, his knowledge of the wildlife, landscape, and animal behavior was extraordinary. He made sure we left not only with amazing pictures, but with a real education and appreciation for everything we were seeing. Harrison is also just a lovely human being. During one part of the trip, after heavy rains, he took the time to help a junior guide get his safari jeep unstuck from a creek — which spoke volumes about his kindness, humility, and character.
Everything about this experience was 5-star. We are so grateful, and we will absolutely book with African Hagyko Safaris again. Highly, highly recommended.
