From Maun (Botswana) to Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) – Wildlife, Photography & Pure Adventure
Our safari with Zak was an absolutely outstanding experience. His knowledge of wildlife and fauna is truly impressive – with a trained eye, he spotted animals that would have completely gone unnoticed to me.
He always gave us plenty of time to observe the animals and never rushed from one location to the next, which made the experience feel relaxed and immersive.
As an experienced photographer, he positioned us perfectly, allowing us to capture the animals from the best possible angles – often even from the front. What stood out most was his ability to read animal behavior and anticipate where to be in advance to get the perfect shot.
Zak is also an excellent driver. Even though the road conditions were far from easy – with a lot of water on the tracks – I always felt completely safe with him.
His sense of humor kept us laughing throughout and created a warm, enjoyable atmosphere within the group. The team spirit and helpfulness were exceptional.
For me, this was the best safari I have ever experienced. The mobile site is outstanding and offers a truly immersive way to connect with nature.

Attention to Detail Personified!
Greetings. We had the good luck to stumble upon this tour company last year when we were planning for our first safari experience.
Unlike the other companies who mostly had a strict itinerary and mostly refused to customise, Silas understood what we wanted and where we wanted our money to go.
Originally supposed to be in march, the trip was pushed to april due to the us iran war but Silas and his crew made sure to postpone everything and hold it because they knew how much it mattered.
From the moment we landed in Nairobi to dropping us off for our flight back home, everything was taken care off. We flew in to Masai, had lovely 3 days in Masai, a day each at nakuru naivasha and amboseli.
Silas chose every accomodation and detail to inch perfect. But what he did best was make Sebastian our guy. your tour guide in an african safari trip makes or breaks your vacation. I thank Silas for bearing with us and gifting us one of the best vacations of our life.
Coming to sebastian, a guide must always be smiling, patient, curious and welcoming. We have had the privilege to interact with guides in multiple countries, but this guy tops it all. from fighting till the end and driving for 7 + hours to spot us a cheetah in mid april to keeping on answering our gazillion questions about wildlife, he did all with a smile without any complaints. He was excellent in everything from the start of our trip to the end. We would like to wish Silas & Sebastian the world and best of endeavours for what they choose to pursue and achieve. till then, its a see you again some day 😊🙏🏻

A perfect choice to travel in Tanzania Safaris
The experience was unforgettable, to see so many wild animals and so many beautiful landscapes every day. We traveled with Anold the Jipe driver in complete safety. He is an excelent guide that speak with us in spanish or english and he could find the wild animals even when they are hidden. All the team of Rafiki Tembo Tours work together to provide everyone the best experience.

Look no further — this is the ultimate primate safari that truly ticks all the boxes!
I recently completed a 4‑day primate safari through Uganda and Rwanda, visiting Kibale National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, and Volcanoes National Park, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
Blair, the guide, was truly exceptional. From the moment we set off, he made the journey feel personal and engaging. We had many great discussions while driving through the stunning countryside, and his deep knowledge of the region and local culture added so much value to the trip. Blair was also incredibly flexible and happy to tailor any part of the itinerary to specific interests or needs, which made the experience feel perfectly balanced and very well thought out.
The chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park and the encounter with golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park were both amazing experiences. Seeing these primates up close in their natural environment was thrilling and incredibly memorable. That said, the absolute highlight of the entire safari was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Being able to visit a mountain gorilla family in its natural habitat was truly breathtaking and a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. The quiet moments spent observing these magnificent animals up close is something I will never forget.
Overall, this safari delivered an incredible mix of wildlife, scenery, and meaningful encounters. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, well‑organized, and deeply memorable primate adventure in East Africa — especially with a guide like Blair, who truly elevates the entire journey.

It was great and amazing
It was great service value for money the people who was assisting us was very humble and patient with us
Absolutely amazing and so helpful
Had the most amazing trip through Namibia and into Botswana with the most knowledgeable guide, Jaco.
Mare-Lize put together an amazing trip for us based on what we wanted to see after doing a group tour in 2023 with an Australian based tour company. Every little detail was excellent, from the accommodation, to the activities we did, along with every other little thing you could imagine.
Saw absolutely everything, not just wildlife but the scenery of Namibia which is breathtaking.
We would highly recommend Tokkies to anyone wanting to go to Namibia.
