Fantastic trip in Moremi Game Reserve and Okavango Delta
It was not our first time in Botswana so we knew well what we wanted this year: Okavango Delta was our main goal. So we asked exactly for that and our expectations were fulfilled. We had a fantastic time in Moremi, and then Okavango. Everything was perfectly arranged: the camp for us, the staff who cared for everything we needed, food, dinner: soup, main course and ... surprise (a desert). And beautiful landscape, and animals (lions, leppards, hippos, elephants - a lot, crocs, antilopes, .....), walking, mokoro, boat. Everything we needed to have fantastic holidays. It is not our last time in Botswana, we start to plan next year....

Incredible Experience！
We had an amazing experience with Kilipath African Safaris!
Everything went very smoothly from beginning to end. Happy was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process. She always replied to our messages quickly and made sure everything was well arranged. Even while we were already out on the safari, she continued to check in and assist us whenever we needed anything.
I also mentioned to Happy that I wanted to celebrate my birthday during the trip, and she surprised me by arranging a birthday cake! It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch and made the trip feel even more special and memorable.
The safari itself was fantastic. We saw so many animals and were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five! Everything was smooth and well organized, so we could simply relax and enjoy the experience.
We had a wonderful time and really appreciated all the effort Happy and the team put into making our trip special. Thank you so much for an unforgettable Tanzania safari. Highly recommended!

Incredible
Happy was extremely responsible and always replied so quickly. She answered all of our questions patiently, and even when we had a few adjustments to the itinerary, she helped us organize everything perfectly.
When we arrived in Arusha, everything went exactly as promised. The team was very organized, and there was always someone available to help whenever we had questions.
A special thank you to Happy for surprising us with a birthday cake — I had honestly already forgotten about it! The cake was delicious, and everyone was so welcoming. It was such a thoughtful surprise and made the trip even more memorable.
Our tour guide, Lawrence, was also very professional and experienced. He always made sure we had the best chance to see the animals and was great at spotting them quickly. He drove efficiently but safely, and he constantly checked in to make sure everyone was comfortable and doing okay.
I also got very lucky with the group I travelled with. Everyone was wonderful, which made the whole safari experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, everything was very well organized, and I’m really grateful to Happy, Lawrence, and the whole team for making the trip such a great experience.

An all round great experience
I arranged all of this online, mainly focusing on the kind of experience we wanted and then the reviews. The balance of the safari was good - we had river, game drive and walking safari over 2 nights 3 days. We had a single guide as our driver with a good vehicle collecting us from our friends house at the expected time. The journey to Selous Park was long (5 hours) - we could have done the train but was glad to experience the communities and life in Tanzania along the way. During the game drive we had a fully cooked lunch served to us (alongside other safari vehicles) at one central point, which also had toilets was good. Our particular driver had less knowledge on birds but had a bird book to support us all. He was however very knowledgeable and trained on all the animals. We saw everything we wanted to (including an amazing elephant experience), and while Selous does not have the plains of Serengeti, our driver reminded us that the Serengeti was majorly overcrowded in comparison (Selous is the size of Switzerland and only has 10,000 visitors per year). Finally, the accommodation facilities were as we expected and good for a remote location (we chose mid range). The food was good, and the staff were excellent. Would definitely recommend and do again, possibly even with budget accommodation as the option next time.

Nelson and his entire team come highly recommended!
Nelson and his entire team come highly recommended!
We booked an eight-day Kilimanjaro tour with him, followed by a six-day safari that included a hot-air balloon ride. Nelson accommodated all our wishes and was extremely flexible whenever we had new suggestions or ideas, ensuring we had a truly unforgettable trip. Whenever questions arose, we received incredibly quick responses.
The organization of the Kilimanjaro tour and the selection of our mountain crew could not have been better. We felt we were in excellent hands at all times. Nelson had prepared everything perfectly, so we were accompanied up Kilimanjaro by a highly professional and well-coordinated team.
We certainly wouldn't have reached the summit without our mountain crew. The accommodations (including the tents), the food (meals were freshly prepared for us three times a day), and the support during the hike were outstanding. Our two mountain guides were very experienced, and we were incredibly grateful for their expertise. The entire team worked hard every day to ensure we lacked nothing. The men and women involved deserve the utmost respect for what they do for tourists day in and day out.
The choice of hotels following the eight-day Kilimanjaro tour was fantastic, and all our requests—such as having a large bathtub—were met. We were absolutely delighted; the beautiful, comfortable accommodations left nothing to be desired.
All transfers, as well as the domestic flight to the northern Serengeti and the meeting with our safari guide there, went smoothly and were completely stress-free for us. Our guide, Dulli, provided us with truly unique experiences. Thanks to his extensive knowledge and experience, we were able to witness the Great Migration crossing the Mara River. We saw the "Big Five"—but also the "Ugly Five." Another highlight was the hot-air balloon ride booked through Nelson’s agency; everything was perfectly organized. Floating over the Serengeti in a hot-air balloon shortly after sunrise—observing the animals and the traces of their nocturnal activities from the air—was an incredible experience. The champagne breakfast that followed is also highly recommended.
We were incredibly lucky on the drive to the Ngorongoro Crater; our guide, Dulli, spotted a cheetah, giving us the chance to take truly spectacular photos. What an encounter—for all of us. It was wonderful to see that our guide was just as thrilled by the cheetah sighting as we were. The Ngorongoro Crater was the crowning finale of our safari. Seeing black rhinos there fulfilled another major wish of ours. What majestic animals.
This was our second visit to Tanzania, and Nelson had been recommended to us. We made a conscious decision to choose him and his company. It was also very important to us to know that Nelson pays his team fairly and respects and values their hard work—especially the mountain crew, who perform superhuman feats to enable guests to climb Kilimanjaro. We would travel with Nelson and his team again in a heartbeat. The value for money was excellent, and the selection of hotels and lodges was fantastic—places where you could simply feel at ease. There wasn't a single negative aspect to our trip.
We would like to thank Nelson and his team for making such an unforgettable, magnificent, and impressive journey possible for all of us. These are memories and moments we will cherish for a lifetime and hold deep in our hearts!
Asante sana 🙏🏻

Excellent at what they do
Fauziah was excellent throughout the booking process. He kept us informed and updated every step of the way, which made organising our trip really easy.
We had a couple of issues with transfers during the trip, but these were sorted straight away with the help of their local contact.
After an early 4:30am start on our first day, we were picked up and taken to Nairobi Airport for our flight to Amboseli, where we went straight out on aa amazing game drive. It was 1pm before we reached our lodge and had something to eat, so a snack along the way would have been greatly appreciated.
Our guide in Amboseli, Richard, was fantastic — very informative, professional and a genuinely lovely person. David, our guide in the Masai Mara, was equally wonderful. They both went above and beyond to make our safari experience so special.
We got up close and personal with so many amazing animals, and the whole experience was simply incredible. It was an unforgettable adventure, and I would definitely recommend booking with Monkey Adventures.

Professional and patient
We had a wonderful safari in Tanzania with Serengeti Smile. We saw the Big Five, cheetahs, and the wildebeest river crossing. Our guide, Sanare, was excellent—professional, patient, humorous, passionate, and very attentive. He was incredibly good at finding animals quickly. If you book with Serengeti Smile, definitely ask for Sanare. Our sales contact, Patricia, was also fantastic. She patiently revised our itinerary many times according to our requests, was professional and enthusiastic, and always replied very quickly. Overall, it was a truly enjoyable trip. Highly recommended!

Walking Stick Travels and Tours provided me with an incredible experience.
I had a wonderful trip and adventure. The guides and staff of Walking Stick Travels and Tours went above and beyond to make the trip incredible. I'm glad I chose to take a guided mobil tented safari option as opposed staying in lodges because we were submersed in nature. Camping in Botswana is not for the faint of heart but the staff really took care of me, from navigating rough roads and setting up the tent in record time, as well as making tasty meals. I had the experience of a life time and took amazing photos to prove it.
