Easy going, personal, perfectly organized
Thanks for organizing this amazing trip! Dinner at Emerson Spice was exceptional. Pemba very personal and friendly. Safari was perfect. Nice and knowledgeable guide, marvellous lodges, and the animals were our friends. We could take some exceptional pictures. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, ...... everybody was around, and paid us a visit just beside our car.

I would not use this company again
I did not enjoy my safari with this company. The schedule they give you is not the actual schedule you will do. Once they have your money and you are actually on safari, your driver will tell you that the schedule the company gives you doesn’t actually matter. Most days, I would spend about 2 hours actually doing safari stuff (though some days would be more). The rest of the day would typically be spent in a cramped van driving to pick up new passengers. The drivers don’t actually work for the company, they are more like free-lance drivers that take people from different companies. The drivers want to get the most people so they can get more money. So you will drive to place 1, then to place 2, and then back to place 1 to pick up more people. Thus, you spend a lot of time driving the same highways (not on safari) to get more people. When I emailed and complained about this, they replied by stating, “Kindly have the spirit of adventure.” Driving back and forth on the same road in a cramped van is not the “spirit of adventure” I envisioned for my safari. I would use another company, or I would consider just heading to Nairobi and negotiating a much better price there. If I would have done that, I would have saved a ton of money and probably had a better experience.

Incredible Honeymoon
We have just returned from Tanzania with the best experience ever! From the professional guides to stunning accommodation - In particular the four seasons lodge in Serengeti and The hideaway of Nungwi in Zanzibar was beyond our expectations. Thank you Zuzana for all the hard work in meticulously planning our holiday! Delighted Honeymooners!

Review about Zambia by Meg
This was our second trip to Zambia (both to South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi)We love the Zambian people, the excellent wild life viewing, the walking safaris, the lack of vehicles (except around the Mfuwe area/gateway to park), and the excellent camps (Kaingo, Mwamba, Sausage Tree and Potato Bush Camps)

Definately go to Africa with go2africa!
'Planning the holiday of my dreams for a big birthday I didn't know where to start but so happy with my choice of Go2Africa and a huge thank you to my travel consultant Ashley Greonevelt. From first contact they were so helpful as I had many questions and ideas. I was a little concerned booking with an agency overseas but realised their knowledge and expertise exceeded any agency I had spoken to in the UK. Ashley discussed my interests at length and helped me select an itinerary perfect for me. I chopped and changed bits through the months leading up to the holiday but none of this was ever a problem for Ashley. South African air lines were fantastic throughout. We stayed in 4 places, Cascades hotel Sun City, Shepherd's tree in Pilennesburg, Madikwe safari lodge in Madikwe, More apartments Cape Town, all exceeded expectations despite looking fantastic in the brochures. Excellent staff, facilities, location, food and facilities. The main aim of my holiday was to go on safari. Both Pilensberg and Madiwke were excellent choices, as we gain different experiences from a national then private game reserve and were lucky enough to see the magnificent 7, forget the highly sought after big 5! The safari guides showed outstanding knowledge of the animals and the landscape making sure each drive was tailored to your interests. I also booked a lot of excursions, including hot air balloon, abseil off table mountain, shark dive, cape peninsula tour, and all transfers through Go2Africa and these ran like clockwork and were the icing on the most amazing birthday cake! I could go on for hours... thank you so much Ashley and Go2Africa it really was the trip of a life time!'

A passionate family owned company that focuses on wildlife, photography, AND conservation! AMAZING!!
It’s obvious Dick and Capture Africa Tours are passionate about their love for Africa. It’s like travelling with a best friend you never knew you had. Dick highlights the natural beauty of Africa through photography and to put it simply, by having an unforgettable time! He has professional and personal connections that really let you see the real Africa. He doesn't skip out on the luxury either, you WILL be very pleased with your hotels, lodges, and all around accommodations. And best of all, as an elephant lover, my trip gave me a grand connection to the beautiful animals while having the opportunity to make a difference myself. Dick makes sure to incorporate how important conservation is, and on his LAND OF THE GIANTS tour you will visit some of the most incredible organizations whose mission is just that. This trip and all of Dick's tours, are trips you should SERIOUSLY consider taking, you will not be disappointed!!

Wonderful trip to Tanzania
Kathi Simon was our travel agent for African Welcome Safaris and was simply a pleasure to work with. So accommodating, responsive and customized our trip to be exactly what we wanted.
Our airline had issues that caused us to arrive two days later then expected. When we notified Kathi she worked over the weekend to rearrange our trip to minimize the financial impact of the change and made sure everything was taken care of. She was awesome.
Kathi booked us in several amazing hotels, and set us up with Wild Frontiers in Tanzania for our Safari company. The vehicle and driver were both really great, and the driver Raymond was extremely warm, friendly and accommodating.
We had a great vacation and it was a trip of a lifetime. Thank you African Welcome Safaris!

If you are thinking about a trip like this.. let these people take care of everything for you.. You will have the best trip of your life...

Great Organization of the Tour
Had opted for a 12 days tour in Tanzania, 6 days for Safari & another 6 days in Zanzibar. They had planned our itinerary very well. 100% customized to our need & taste. I think that's one of their highlight, very experienced personal. We were fully aware of what to expect well before the start of the tour & everything remained the same through out tour. What was promised.. was delivered. Completely satisfied with the tour & glad we had made this tour. Africa is really a different experience from the rest of the holiday packages. Kudos to ZED Safaris.

South Africa Trip - Safari and capetown
Susan P. at Pembury was responsive, understanding and patient as we went back and forth in determining and appropriate itinerary for me and family. In the end she designed and organized an unforgettable vacation that included a 4 day safari outing at Sabi Sabi Little Bush camp (5 star all the way) and 4 days in Capetown. All was arranged including all transfer. Truly a hassle free vacation in a foreign country.
