Excellent Safari Experience
My wife and I could not have asked for a better safari experience. The tour was tailored to our needs and interests. Our guide was excellent... knowldegable and accommodating. The meals and accommodations were excellent. The price was reasonable and there were no surprises. Highly recommend Safari360 to anyone interested in experiencing a Safari!

An Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Adventure with Mboni Adventures
My girlfriend and I just returned from the most incredible journey – summiting Mount Kilimanjaro via the beautiful Lemosho route in 6 days with Mboni Adventures. From the very first day, everything was perfectly organized, and we felt completely taken care of.
Our guides, Rama and Faragi, were absolute legends. Their professionalism, constant encouragement, and expert pacing made the climb feel achievable and safe. Without their support, we honestly wouldn’t have made it to the summit. The entire crew was fantastic – always smiling, helpful, and making sure we were comfortable.
Special shoutout to Chef Abraham, who somehow produced the most delicious, fresh, and energizing meals every single day. We were genuinely surprised by how well we ate on the mountain!
The scenery was breathtaking at every stage, and standing at Uhuru Peak together was a moment of pure joy and achievement we’ll never forget.
If you’re thinking about Kilimanjaro, do yourself a favor and book with Mboni Adventures. They turned a big dream into a wonderful, unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Great packages but average customer service
Bushstrike Safaris offers great value for money and works with excellent service providers. The activities themselves were enjoyable and well worth the price.
However, their client service needs improvement. Communication could be better. Our driver did not pick us up at the border (we were staying on the Zambian side), and a taxi had to be arranged instead. There was also no representative from Bushstrike Safaris to meet us at the border or guide us through the “daily luxury experience” we had booked. It felt more like we had booked separate providers rather than one seamless, coordinated experience.
Overall, good value — but better coordination and client communication would greatly improve the experience

Very professional and flexible.
From the very first email we knew we made the right choice in tour companies. We had made several changes before deciding on a tour package and at no time were we made to feel that we were being a bother. They worked with us to make sure we got the best experience within our price range
On the first day of our tour we were met by our guide Joe, who would be with us on the first half of our Safari as well as Albert one of the owners of the company. They were both very enthusiastic and made us feel right at home. We visited Nairobi National Park and we could have ended our Safari there as we saw more than we expected on our first day. The next several days with Joe were amazing as we saw so many many Lions and cubs ( my favorite ) as well as Elephants with their babies ( my sister's favorite ). When it was time to say good bye to Joe, he introduced us to our next guide, Joseph who was also enthusiastic and welcoming. The days we spent with him were just as amazing!
Both our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and a lot of fun. They made our experience more than we could have hoped for! We ended our Safari in Zanzibar which was beautiful and a great way to end!!
I will be recommending Tapestry of Africa Tours to anyone I know that would like to go on Safari in Africa!!

Incredible experience, smooth and great value
We would strongly recommend Leobeast Tours and Safaris to anyone who is visiting East Africa.
My partner and I did a 10-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania where we visited some of the top national parks in the world and were fortunate enough to make memories that will last us a lifetime. Our amazing experience was largely thanks to the team at Leobeast, especially Lizzy, who also communicated clearly and effectively with us throughout the entire journey that helped put any worries to rest and made the entire experience flow so smoothly. She was more than happy to answer any questions we had in a prompt, professional manner and even helped us exchange money on arrival in Kenya. The logistics behind the tour were also excellent, we felt incredibly fortunate we booked with Leobeast as some of our fellow travellers weren't so lucky. Do be aware that you will likely change vehicles (but still a Land Cruiser the whole time) and/or fellow passengers throughout the journey; this is what all the safari companies do, and in our experience, made the trip even more memorable as we got to meet people from all over the world!
Our driver in Kenya, Brian, was also excellent. He was very knowledgeable and skilled at anticipating animals' movements to position our vehicle for the best views while also being respectful and mindful of these beautiful wild creatures.
The team at Leobeast all do a fantastic job and we highly recommend them. Though they are a small and new company, they go above and beyond to create a truly unforgettable travel experience.

A truly caring travel company that made my Zanzibar first trip unforgettable
My experience with YourHolidayAbroad was exceptional from start to finish. The communication especially with Zena was always smooth and clear, which made planning my trip to Zanzibar really easy. Every detail was handled by her with professionalism and genuine care. I felt supported throughout the entire process, and the team consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything matched our expectations. The service offered great value for money, and the reliability of the hole team gave me full peace of mind. Thanks to them, my stay in Zanzibar was perfectly organized and truly unforgettable.

Excellent safari with knowledgeable guide
Paul our guide made this trip! He did everything from picking us up at the airport to providing excellent information as he found animals in many of the National Parks. He is personable and extremely knowledgeable. He even helped us track down our lost luggage and have it delivered out to the countryside. You will have a great experience!

Amazing experience with very professional and reliable company. Great guide!
We had a truly unforgettable family trip thanks to Serengeti Silence.
After finding out about this company through Safari Bookings I contacted Emmy, who was super kind, professional and patient in answering each one of our questions during the course of a few weeks. Without ever putting pressure on us, she was super flexible in accommodating our schedule several times until we found the best fit for us (and for every change we received a detailed PDF doc with all the detailed itinerary. Super transparent!). And the accommodations were very nice, specially the camp in South Serengeti. Amazing facilities a staff (Mr. Joseph and his staff were WONDERFUL). And the food.. my god. The best!
My wife is a biologist, so she requested Emmy a knowledgeable guide good at tracking. And we couldn’t have been more lucky in having Justin! Besides his super cool personality he was an outstanding tracker able to find everything on the road that for a non trained eye was impossible to see. And his knowledge of the ecosystem was impressive, better than AI.
Couple of examples about how good was Justin:
1. He made us follow a cheetah for 2 hours (despite my doubts) to finally witness how she hunted a female gazelle. A NatGeo moment we watched live a few meters from us!
2. How he was a “man on a mission” to find a leopard for my youngest son. At the end of a long game ride in Serengeti, instead of calling it a day and go to the camp to rest he drove like crazy before getting dark so we could witness a leopard eating with her 2 cubs a young wildebeest. We even saw how mama leopard climbed the tree with the prey and how they ate it on top of the tree. Amazing!!
A safari is always expensive, but this one is definitively good value for the money. I never felt mid-range!
Thanks Emmy, Justin and all the team in Serengeti Silence!

Seamless, extraordinary experience!
From beginning to end, this entire experience was beyond great. Dealing with Bridgette on the planning side or our drivers in country - Nthato in Johannesburg and Faldie in Capetown, everything was excellent. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and personable. They really catered to our needs. We had daily updates from the team with our itinerary and it was easy to work with them on last minute changes. We had no worries the entire time we were there. Absolutely fantastic trip and so glad we did it. Ask for Faldie if you're going to Capetown. I could not recommend anyone else. He was an absolute delight, engaging and overall great person.

Amazing safari experience with seeing all the Big Five!
I had an amazing experience with Swahili Safari Escape. Everything was very well organized, and the safari itself was unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, which made the trip even more special.
Peter took great care of everything before and after the safari, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Even though my schedule was short, I was able to enjoy a very full and meaningful safari experience. I highly recommend this tour operator to anyone planning a safari.
I definitely want to come again.
