Perfect
Savannah expolorer was a great tour operator. Well organized trip, quality accommodation and maximum availability to our requests, thanks to Roberto Capri who was able to listen to us and advise us according to our needs. The driver was Mudi: great quality and experience. This was my third Safari and only with Mudi could I understand the importance of the driver. Only thanks to him was it possible to see a leopard walking slowly under our car.
Excellent grade

Extremely helpful
All the people that hosted our safari were great, including Kuda, Stuart, Bothuel, Ian and Nkosi. Everything went well, regarding our stay and activities, except for a problem with the in the cars that were used to drive us in the 1-day Hwange game drive, operated by Frog Safari Tours: they were not real 4WD, which lost us 2h of safari, because we got stuck in a sandy road; fortunately we were rescued by other people that were passing by with suitable jeeps
... The guides were great with us, no complains there. But the cars have to be in better shape.

Do not miss out!
I had the pleasure today of spending time with Amatsiko tours doing various activities around Lake Bunyoni. We started off going to the Arbiary and meeting the local Bees. I knew that I was going to be in good hands, by watching how founder Alex and his helper Robert treated the Bees. With patience and respect. It was incredible! And the best part was tasting pure, glorious honey from the hive! Then we moved to Chabahinga by boat to hike up to our next stop, The Herbalist. Meeting 75 year old Mzee Gad was like stepping back in time. His knowledge of the local plants is unsurpassed and he shared his knowledge with wit and a twinkle in his eye. We continued our climb to Mrs Anna's homestead where a cooking and craft class awaited us. All meals are prepared on coal fires and consist of mostly starches and vegetables. While our food was cooking we then had time to learn how to make what seemed to be a simple bangle! How they laughed at my clumsy fingers! Luckily Anna's son was deft and helped me finish. We then enjoyed the local food and ended our meal with another spoonful of delicious honey. This has been the highlight of my stay and cannot recommend it highly enough. Both Alex and Robert were super patient with me as I'm not the fittest hiker! Do experience this wonderful outing when you are at Lake Bunyoni, you will not be sorry.

Great 3-Day Safari with easy to communicate Operator
We booked a 3-Day Safari (Serengeti / Ngorongoro Crater) in tented camps (not tents). Overall great experience with many sightings thanks to an incredible (!!) guide Emmanuel (who was the main reason for the great experience - reliable, friendly, knowledgable, funny). Fyi: it is a lot (!) time spend on the road, jeeps are robust but not newest). Thank you!

This is a Dream Company
We are a family of 5, including our 8-year-old granddaughter. We asked Nelly to prepare a tailor-made, affordable itinerary for our 9-day trip to South Africa. Her proposal was excellent. Just a few minor changes and then deal.
We visited Cape Town and its surroundings, like visiting Table Mountain, wine tasting. We made the Garden Route, visited the Cape of Good Hope and the National Parks like Truitjieskraal, Tsitsikamma.
Activities:
Seal cruise, Penguin kayaking, Shark Cage Diving, Whale watching, Hiking, Skywalk, Bungee Jumping, Rock climbing, Safari Game Drive.
Nothing went wrong. Hotels were excellent, Vans were tidy. Guides and Drivers were helpful and very friendly.
Especially our guide, Faldie Vanwyk, became like a family member.
We had a great time in South Africa.
Thank You, Nelly. Thank You, Faldie, Thank You Africa Incoming.

Excellent experience with George
George gave us the safari of a lifetime! We saw the Big Five, the wildebeest river crossing, and so many other amazing moments. Truly unforgettable.

Highly Recommended!
Our 5-day safari was perfectly organized, from the lodges we stayed in to the daily game drives. Each day brought new highlights, from lions gathering to elephants at the waterhole. George made sure we were comfortable at all times and truly went the extra mile for us. This was the best adventure we could have imagined.

Amazing 3 day Safari. Incredible guide and accommodation. Galilaya team managed everything perfectly
We booked a 3 day Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater safari as part of our honeymoon. Galilaya booked all our internal flights, transfers and accommodation. The team were incredibly friendly and attentive and the whole trip ran perfectly.
Our guide Francis was superb. He was warm, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. He managed the 3 days extremely well, helping us see 4 of the big 5 and countless other amazing animals.
The accommodation provided was extremely comfortable. The Lions Paw Lodge especially, in Ngorongoro Crater was truly special. The Galilaya team even presented us with a touching gift for our honeymoon.
This trip was truly once in a lifetime. The Galilaya team went above and beyond and we will be recommending them to our family and friends.

Adventure Time
Oscar from Kale Voyage Expedition was my tour operator and Moses was my safari guide. Oscar was very helpful, responding to my questions before I booked the tour and later with tips for packing and planning. He was also available during the tour in case I needed anything or had questions.
My safari guide Moses was very knowledgeable, relaxed, and friendly. We were eight strangers in the Jeep and we all had such a good time together. Moses drove to far off places, asked for sighting tips from other guides, and informed us about the majestic animals we were seeing.
The food and accommodation was good (though I realise I am not made for camping and it was a tough experience :’( ).
Not related to Kale in particular but travellers should do thorough research on what does a safari entail and ask questions if something is unclear - accommodation, tipping culture etc. Due to time crunch, I couldn’t do much research and had some surprises; though nothing bad. My fellow travelers and guide helped me along.
