Elephant Herd Tours Turned Our Dream Safari Into a Lifetime Memory
From the very beginning, Elephant Herd Tours & Safari exceeded every expectation we had.
They were always punctual, extremely well organized, and genuinely caring. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, warm, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the journey.
The places they chose for us to stay were absolutely magnificent, beautiful hotels and lodges that elevated the entire experience and made each day feel special and memorable.
One detail that truly touched us was how personal the service felt. Our tour coordinator even took the time to visit us at our hotel to meet us in person, which speaks volumes about how much they care about their guests and the experience they provide.
Thanks to Elephant Herd Tours, our 5-day tour through Kruger National Park, the Panorama Route, and a Private Reserve became an unforgettable adventure filled with incredible moments, breathtaking landscapes, and memories we will cherish forever.
If you are looking for a safari experience that is professional, personal, and truly exceptional, I cannot recommend Elephant Herd Tours & Safari enough.
They were very easy to deal with. They had great knowledge of the safari.
Safari. Com was a great company to deal with. However the lodge Hoyo Hoyo was quite run down. The staff were excellent and very helpful. However, for the price there were things that should be addressed. The pool was dirty, cloudy and unusable. The decking was in need of repairs and staining. The room had virtually no storage for travellers with suitcases. We had been travelling for 5 weeks and needed the cases. The room was dark and the bathroom was darker. The bed was comfortable. The food was generally good. Overall I would rate Hoyo Hoyo as a 3star property with some 5 star aspects.

An amazing safari experience with a professional team who truly care about their guests.
Papa John showed us the most beautiful sunset in the world and fulfilled all our fantasies about safari with his professional guiding skills. We almost saw all the wild animals worth seeing on this route. Throughout the journey, John, with his professional knowledge, gave detailed explanations about the species, habits and characteristics of the wild animals. During the entire trip, John carefully ensured everyone's transportation, accommodation and travel experience. We were so lucky to see so many wonderful scenes, and we are very grateful to John for his dedication to his work.

A truly incredible experience
It has truly been a dream come true. Stanford and Owen were incredible guides who made us feel at home from the very beginning. They were always kind and did everything they could to make sure we saw as much as possible. They shared many interesting facts and really made this experience even more special. We came because one of my best friends recommended Kihindo, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone going on a safari.

Enjoyable Rongai Day Hike
We were interested in hiking this less popular hike that is not really offered by most outfitters. Incredible Africa Adventures was more than accommodating to not only make this happen, but to give us a wonderful Kilimanjaro experience. Their communication was fast and clear, they were punctual, and friendly. Osambe, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the ecology of the area and as excited to do this hike as us. We had the trail to ourselves for the day, perfect weather, a delicious lunch… an ideal hike. This was our first experience in Tanzania and we could not have asked for a better one.

Very professional, on time and going above and beyond to ensure excellent service
Very well managed tour. From the beginning Simon (my contact from Earthwings) was very responsive, answered all my questions and accomodated all my requests. They also give me the most competitive rates without compromising on any aspect of the service.
Lastly my driver and tour guide Barnabas was extremely professional..he ensured we got as many sightings as we could and he stopped wherever we wanted ensuring we got an exceptional experience.
Highly recommended

Amazing Family Safari with Gemfinders Tours and Travel
We had a fantastic tailor-made safari experience with Gemfinders Tours and Travel and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
We are a family of four with two children, and the trip was perfectly planned for us. Our journey started in Nairobi, continued through Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks (with two nights in the parks), and ended at the beautiful Diani Beach. The mix of adventure and relaxation was spot on.
The wildlife sightings were incredible. Thanks to our amazing guides, we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, and so many other animals — basically all the Lion King characters, which was a huge highlight for our kids.
A big thank you to our guides Lowrance and Eric. They were professional, friendly, and great with children. Their knowledge of the parks and ability to spot animals made every game drive exciting and memorable.
Everything was well organized — comfortable vehicles, smooth transfers, and carefully chosen accommodations. What we appreciated most was the personal approach. This was not a standard tour, but a flexible, thoughtfully designed trip that truly felt made just for us.
Finishing the safari at Diani Beach was the perfect way to relax after the adventure.
We highly recommend Gemfinders Tours and Travel to anyone looking for a reliable company and a customized safari experience, especially families. We came back with amazing memories and would gladly travel with them again!
