best experience: full recommendation for Beacon, especially driver Carlos!
Whilst planning our safari and selecting the parks we wanted to visit, Beacon was always very responsive and helpful in tailoring our trip to our individual needs, proving us with clear recommendations and honest advise on what would and wouldn't be worthwhile. Ultimately we were thrilled and impressed by the wildlife sightings, the lodges and friendliness of everyone involved throughout the entire journey.
Carlos was the best driver we could have ever wished for. We always felt safe and very well looked after with him. He has the gift of always knowing where the animals would be heading, which gave us unique perspectives on the animals and a truely personalised experience.
100% recommendation for Beacon and 1000% recommendation for Carlos as a driver he is the absolut best!!

They give me a wonderful travel
Our guide Baraka is professional, patient, humorous and highly responsible. He made our Tanzanian safari absolutely wonderful. The pre-trip communication with the company was seamless, and the trip is fantastic value.

A special experience safari
We discovered Summer Winter Africa Adventures from Xiaohongshu. Johnson, the owner, was easy to talk to, helped us plan the whole itinerary and handled all arrangements. He followed up during our safari with fast replies.
Our guide Baraka was incredibly professional. When watching the Great Migration, many vehicles disturbed the wildebeest and halted the crossing. Baraka kept a respectful distance, spotted dust on the far riverbank and guided us to see the full wildebeest river crossing.
We also witnessed a leopard hunting an impala. While most cars left after seeing the leopard resting, Baraka read the animal’s behaviour and we got amazing shots of the hunt.
Baraka was punctual and reviewed our daily plan with us every evening. Strongly recommend Summer Winter Africa Adventures for your Tanzania safari!

Very efficient, good communication
We had a fantastic time on our 7 day ultimate northern circuit safari/Kilimanjaro tour.
A great balance between safari and hiking.
Thanks to our dedicated driver/guide Moses we saw the big five and loads more. A great group of people, good food and plenty of it. Even though we had some car trouble it was handled very efficiently and did not cause any hold ups (special thanks to Moses 👍👏👏👏)
Our final 2 days were spent with Geoffrey an amazing guide/ driver. Never lost for words he is a great source of information about the Kilimanjaro area, a true ambassador for his country.
I would definitely recommend Kilipath.

Humble, extraordinary animal knowledge, very good driver, friendly, polite
Michael had made all the difference. We felt safe, we joked a lot, we talked a lot about various topics, we shared meals. It was an all package experience and we couldn't have wished for a better tour guide. Some might find all the transportation lenghty and uncomfortable, hence it makes it even more important to find a mutual chemistry, as the safari experience doesn't start at the park entrance, but inside the car.

Excellent in all aspects. Made the experience for us unique.
The experience was really amazing. The tour operator was very well organised and focussed on customers to get the best experience possible. The Safari driver (Gerard) was very nice, helpful, constantly trying to give us the best experience possible, whilst explaining wildlife on the go.
Highly recommended, both the tour operator and the driver.

Above & Beyond Service with Mr. Santa - Black Santa Tours & Safaris!* ⭐⭐
If you want someone who treats you like family, book with Mr. Santa from Black Santa Tours.
We got introduced to Mr. Santa on short notice when we decided we wanted to go to Mombasa for a one day adventure for quad biking, boat cruising, and the sand dunes. *Despite the short notice, he still delivered* and made everything seamless.
His advice was simple: "Book the 10pm train to Mombasa and I’ll pick you up." And he meant it.
Mr. Santa literally left his house around *2am* and waited at the Mombasa terminal until our train arrived at *4am*. Who does that?! He then drove us straight to Malindi and even *paid for our breakfast* before we started the day.
*Our day with him:*
1. *Mambrui* — Quad biking, camel ride, and playing on the sand dunes. So much fun and he made sure we were safe and got great photos.
2. *Water Park* — We couldn’t do the activities due to logistics, but Mr. Santa didn’t let that stop us. He immediately made other plans.
3. *Boat Cruise* — He got us on a boat cruise at another location so we didn’t miss out on that experience.
4. *Lunch with Family* — The sweetest part. He took us to have lunch where his lovely wife *Isabella* joined us. It felt so personal and welcoming.
5. *Drop-off* — He then drove us back and dropped us at the train terminal for our trip back to Nairobi.
Mr. Santa is reliable, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond. Black Santa Tours isn’t just a business — it’s hospitality from the heart.
If you’re going to Mombasa/Malindi, do not think twice. Book Mr. Santa. You’ll get adventure, good food, new friends, and memories for life. Highly recommended!

Friendly, safe driver, knows the area well and always adapts to his clients’ interests.
The guide is very friendly, drives safely, knows the area very well, and does his best to adapt the experience to the interests and preferences of his clients. We saw so many animals, including the Big Five and many more, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.

One of the most curated safari experience we could ask for!
We had a wonderful experience with the Shanjoy team during our week-long safari. We started in Nairobi and traveled to Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Amboseli during our trip and saw everything we were hoping to see. Our guides, Dominic and Isaya/Rasta, were also phenomenal and made our first safari experience very wonderful. They were both extremely knowledgeable about every animal we saw as well as keen on making sure we saw everything on our list (Ex. Big 5, Great Migration, Mara River Crossing, etc)! They assisted us during the border crossing between the countries and it could not have been more seamless. Their office team is also extremely responsive and our contact Rodah was amazing to work with. She also made sure we were well-taken care of during our entire trip! I researched many tour companies and eventually chose the Shanjoy team. Would highly recommend the Shanjoy team for any safari goers!

Great tour
I did a 2 night trip with MoAfrika Tours, to Pilanesberg national park. They were very easy to communicate with. Pieter, who I communicated with, was very polite and professional. The tour itself was very good. The Bakabung Bush lodge where I stayed was wonderful! Clean, with great surroundings and great food. The morning game drives were conducted by the lodge, but the sunset drives were conducted by MoAfrika Tours. The driver Tshiamo was the best! I got to see lots of animals on both drives with him! He was very polite and knowledgeable, and did a great job keeping an eye out for any animals around, sometimes manoeuvering the jeep to get the best views. Overall I'm glad I booked this tour with them.
