Family safari chobe and vic falls
The trip was amazing and really well organised for us by African Fairytale Tours.
Jonathan at African Fairytale Tours communicated with us excellently and always kept us up to date and was very accommodating for our requirements and potential changes. Jonathan ensured everything ran smoothly and was on time. His colleague Ivy also communicated well on email.
The experiences suggested and booked and timings of the game drives, walk around Victoria falls, river cruises, rice safari in Chobe and the helicopter ride were all timed perfectly.
Everything ran on time and was professional.
The guides were amazing.
The accommodation was good and suited us as a family really well.

In Love with.. Tanzania
I booked my Safari with Issa of Destiny Explorer, who found a solution for all my requests. I choosed the Serengeti for a very special moment of my life: the engagement with my girlfirend under an unforgettable sunset. Tarimo, our driver and guide, was very calm and gave us a lot of information about wildlife during the safari. We felt safe all the time during the safari. I suggest this agency for the professionality of its staff and the organization of the trip.

Best tour operator for an international 7-day honeymoon
Unforgettable memory. Amazing tour guides (Akram and Godyfree), which were always attentive, kind and knowledgeable, amazing accomodations (top locations in luxury hotels), and great safari all in all (all Big 5 seen multiple times!).
When we booked this operator from Spain, we were a bit doubtful at first that they would be up to expectations for our dreamed honeymoon, but I would choose Travel Africa 1,000 times again with my eyes closed! Good meal on the road, fine cold wine, knowledge nuggets and jokes during the trip, and amazing Spanish translator too!

10/10 Expirience with Travel Africa
We came to Tanzania for our honeymoon and couldn't have chosen Travel Africa more successfully. Our driver, Godyfry, and our translator, Akram, took excellent care of us! They were always attentive to our needs. They also knew exactly where to find the Big 5! We were able to see them all. This company and the hotels they offer were a pleasure. 10/10

An incredible experience with a small downside
Our 7-day adventure was truly unforgettable, featuring waterfalls, ponds, lakes, a safari, a hot air balloon ride, and even flights and boat trips. The highlights of our safari included Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti, which were absolutely breathtaking.
Benson Safaris did a fantastic job organizing the entire trip and making sure everything went smoothly. A special thanks to Zablon, our tour guide, who was more than just a guide—he was an adventure partner! He was kind, attentive, and instrumental in ensuring we saw the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. We celebrated together, shared meals, and enjoyed beers under the African sky. It was a fantastic experience, and Zablon played a huge role in making it special.
The only downside was the flight from Serengeti (Seronera airstrip) to Zanzibar. Despite our early planning and multiple communications well in advance, the flight tickets were purchased too close to the departure date. As a result, we had to take three separate flights on the same day, instead of the direct flight we had hoped for. This added unnecessary stress and made our journey to Zanzibar more tiring than expected. We essentially lost almost an entire day in transit, which was frustrating, especially after such an exciting safari.
But all in all, it was an incredible trip. The minor flight issue didn’t overshadow the incredible experiences we had. Highly recommend Benson Safaris for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Tanzania!

The company as a whole was very good, but Casper was great.
My wife and I booked three days of tours and activities with Fuhara. With everything going on there were several chances for things to go wrong, but the company as a whole was always responsive and very easy to work with. That being said we were lucky enough to spend most of our trip with one employee in particular named Casper. He was very kind, professional, caring young man who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. If you book with Fuhara and get the chance to interact with Casper consider yourself lucky.

Great value, great guide, great food, amazing experience!
We had the most amazing weekend with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris! We went to lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and lake Eyasi.
Our guide, Issa was amazing! He made the experience even better by taking good care of us, showing us the best sights and many animals. He happily adjusted the schedule to best suit our group. Issa was so kind, helpful and welcoming and seemed excited to share his knowledge!
The food was delicious throughout the whole weekend; starters, main courses and even desserts!
Accommodations were decently good. We stayed at “Fig Tree lodge”, which was cozy, but not the highest standard. For our expectations and budget, it was good!
Thanks to Issa (guide) and Salim (chef) for doing the little extra and creating an amazing experience!

Amazing experience, excellent organisation, welcoming and friendly team
I had a fantastic weekend with Eddy from Gari trips, my first experience of Uganda (and safari) which completely exceeded my expectations. We visited Ziwa rhino sanctuary and Murchison Falls, where we managed to fit in two game drives, a walk to the top of the falls and a boat trip. Saw so many beautiful animals and birds in such a short space of time. Eddy was great company - positive, organised, enthusiastic and happy to share his extensive knowledge of wildlife and Uganda, and an expert driver / navigator. I was travelling alone and felt safe and comfortable, even in the Kampala traffic! Communication with Emma who organised the trip was also great - he was super quick to respond and made planning this at pretty short notice very simple. The price was also very reasonable. Thank you Gari trips, I hope to be back!

Amazing and professional and knowledgeable
The safari was absolutely amazing! Ally and Victor are always available, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so much fun. The food and accommodation were both great, and everything was included in the fantastic price we paid — such great value for money. The service and communication were excellent throughout. I’d definitely do it again and highly recommend this tour!
