Highlight of my travels
Our Tanzania trip with guide Elisha from e-Trip Africa was absolutely amazing and we saw so many animals, beyond anything we had imagined. We stayed in fantastic locations, very comfortable and varied, and always had delicious meals and service. The people of Rwanda and Tanzania were so kind and thoughtful in every way. Elisha knew so much about his country, the wildlife and driving/guiding. We would hope to see a particular animal and next thing we were there, seeing it all up close. It was sooo sooo amazing, thanks to his knowledge and understanding of what we enjoyed. He was very adaptable, and we discussed our safari options each morning and afternoon to make the most of our time. The places we visited were all teeming with wildlife and we saw so many leopards, cheetahs and lions as well as thousands of elephants, giraffe, zebra, hippos, wildebeest and the list goes on. We were amazed by all the birds too, and learned so much about the animals and the circle of life. Our Rwanda mountain gorilla encounter had me in tears of joy - what a special experience. We were lucky enough to spend an hour with the Pablo family (25 gorillas of which we saw 22). These creatures are beyond beautiful and I could have watched them all day. Now we are busy telling all our friends about it and planning to take them with us next time. e-Trip Africa were excellent in organising everything, with replies to my emails coming within 24 hours (mostly less than that), even when we were on tour. Everything went smoothly and we would unreservedly recommend them to show you these parts of Africa. Thankyou!

Namibia!!!
The colors: orange, green, blue and gray. The sights: sand dunes, shipwrecks, rock art, fur seals, rhinos and leopards, wildebeest and oryx (to name just a few). Namibia is all this and so much more as we experienced in our two week trip with Christopher Bartlett and, Tulimon, our Namibian guide. The trip was everything that we could have hoped for and was so reasonably priced. We also profited from Christopher's considerable skill as a photographer (and even as a chef). This was in incomparable adventure shared with delightful companions.

Amazing experience! 5 Star Guide (Herman), Service, and Trip
From the beginning process of booking the trip all the way to the actual safari, we got treated with VIP service. The team is extremely experienced, professional, and thoughtful. They really pay attention to your needs and customize the trip accordingly.
Special shout-out to your guide Herman. The trip would not have been the same without him. We highly, highly recommend using him for your next safari adventure! He is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, very friendly, engaging and entertaining, respectful of the animals, and plans the trip around your preferences. He is also amazing at spotting animals- we were able to see all of the Big 5. We honestly could not have asked for anyone better. He truly made our experience even more memorable and we now have a friend for life.
Also, while on the trip we got to enjoy hot lunches, which is unique to only a few of the safari companies. All the equipment provided to us was state-of-the art, and the vehicle we used was extremely comfortable, spacious, and very well maintained. During our safari, we also stayed at a mixture of camps and luxury lodges, all of which Soul booked for us. We very pleased with all of the selections and would definitely stay at them again.
Overall, I highly recommend using Soul of Tanzania for your next vacation. Though they are a relatively new company, the service, accommodations, itinerary, and guides are all 5 star. We could not have asked for a more organized or enjoyable trip, so we will definitely be using them again. The whole team really made the trip as incredible as it was.

Review about Kruger National Park by tobias.gebhardt
Have seen several lioness and a lion close to our car. That has been the highlight.
We have spent 2 days in that National Park but you can spend even more time because there is a lot to discover.

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by tobias.gebhardt
The scenery is breathtaking. There are hills where you can go and get an incredible overview of the Game Reserve. Unfortunately 2 days before our visit a rhino has been killed by poachers. The carcass has been still there and lions were eating it.
It is great that there are still rhinos but they have to be protected from poachers.

Great place to get close to several elephants
Visiting the Addy Elephant National Park has been my first safari.
After we entered the park and went along the road for a few minutes an elephant just passed by our car. That was pretty exciting because we did not if we just can wait or should leave. But the elephant has been really relaxed and just walked along the road. The highlight was the stop at a water hole during the midday sun. I guess that there have been 50 elephants close to each other. Watching this scenery for 30min has been fantastic.
Besides elephants we also saw zebras and warthogs.
Addo Elephant National Park is the perfect spot for a day trip.

Awsome experience with personal touch n safety
It's amazing experience with cholo tours .. they made so comfortable and exciting for us. Specially when they had taken us to island. We are Indian vegetarians and they arranged such great food for us in beach and also helped us shopping in beech and saved our money. I recommend to shop in island as the price is less then half. Thank you cholo tours for everything. best wishes.

The perfect honeymoon trip
As part of our honeymoon we have just completed a 5 day safari with Maasai Wanderings, booked through Safari and Beach. During our safari we were accompanied and driven by Yunus. We just wanted to pass on our thanks to both Maasai Wanderings and to Yunus for helping to make our time so brilliant.
From the moment we were collected at Kilimanjaro airport until the time we were dropped off at Seronera, we were impressed with the organisation and preparation. Everything had been planned and accounted for and we didn't have to ask for anything. Yunus was fantastic throughout; he was so informative, friendly and welcoming and made it his mission to help us see and do everything we had dreamt of on safari. We really have have the most wonderful start to our honeymoon and we leave Tanzania with some wonderful memories and a new friend.
We will not hesitate to recommend Maasai Wanderings to our friends and family, and hope to be back ourselves in the not too distant future!
