Amzing photography experience on the river Chobe
Pangolin took me on an afternoon photography safari on the river Chobe - they have a custom-built boat with seats that rotate 360 degrees and provide fantastic professional quality cameras. I knew nothing about photography before I went and managed to take some fabulous photos using the excellent equipment and their expert instruction. Highly recommended.

The wT to get the best photographs
The low wide boats and 'elephant bunker' allows for amazing perspectives. Guts, the lead and all of the guides are very qualified and keep things fun. I've been on safari many times but got many of my best shots on this trip. I plan to go back to Chobe and use Pangolin again.

Put it on your bucket list! !
My husband and I went to Chobe in September last year courtesy of Pangolin Safaris. What an incredible experience. The staff are wonderful (and patient! ) and really go out of their way to make it an unforgettable experience for you. My husband is a keen photographer, but I was a novice. They instruct you on how to take the most awesome photographs and by the end of the trip I was shooting on manual. The wildlife is spectacular, and Pangolin really gave us a new appreciation for it with their knowledge and passion. Thank you Pangolin for the trip of a lifetime!

An amazing safari experience
Charles and his team are fantastic. I have been on safaris with other companies, but none compare to Tanganyika Ancient Routes. Everyone is very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The vehicles are comfortable and reliable and the accommodations are as luxurious as you wish. Most importantly, they seem to know all the other drivers and guides which means that they always know where the animals are. So, you can spend more time viewing the amazing game and less time bouncing around searching for them! I will definitely be back and highly recommend them to all my friends.

Fabulous photography course in Botswana
I cannot recommend Pangolin Photo Safaris highly enough. I have done various courses over the years, but not only does it make so much more sense doing the course on location, (rather than in a classroom), Guts is a simply fabulous teacher and didn't over complicate things. He explained everything in a very clear way and this is the first time that I can honestly say that I've learnt how to use my camera on manual and one month on. I can still remember! The location in Chobe is superb as you get into the National Park before everyone else and the game viewing is superb, not to mention the birdlife. The boat is fully kitted out and perfect for swinging your camera around 360 degrees, plus the unimog is great, being up high, with various places to put your camera. I am simply thrilled with my photographs and can't wait to go back and do another course. This is one of the best courses that I have done in a long time!

Best Operator I have worked with to date
From planning to execution Base Camp was excellent. Achmed respond timely and was an excellent source to assist us with planning. He corrected an issue when one of our lodges went into renovation just before we came. He upgraded us at no charge and assisted my in-laws with a day room before their flight back to the states. He is an extremely personable man that you must meet! We are planning a new trip with him in 2016.

Family on Kruger Safari
Wildlife Safaris is a excellent Safari Tour Operator. From the very first contact with Christine (about 1 year prior to our travel),I sensed the highest degree of proffessionalism,excellence and competence. My immediate sense was that Wildlife Safaris wanted to make our experience to Kruger Park for our family of seven with 2 children, so memorable and enjoyable. It turned out to be exactly that. The communiication is excellent,the service is of the highest degree. We could not have had a better guide than Hoppy. He is simply so good. We enjoyed him immensely, especially my 2 grandchildren aged 9 & 12. Christine planned a 4 day safari for our family that surpassed our expectations. It was just about planned to perfection. We will not forget the fantastic game drives, delicious food and the vast experience of our guide Hoppy. This was very good value for our money. Wildlife Safaris is highly recommended.

LONDOLOZI is the place to be. Me and my husband had a wonderful time during our stay. Excellent!
Roho Ya Chui is excellent. Ute will do everything to provide in your needs. The communication and interaction between Roho Ya Chui and the clients can be rated 7star. Everything is done to living up to your expectations. It's an honour to do bussiness with Roho Ya Chui. Ute made our reservation for Londolozi and everything exceeded our expectations. We will definitely go again. Just as I was told everybody at Londolozi made our stay never to forget.

Personal service, quick responses and excellent and experienced guide and driver
From the first moment we contacted Ajabu we were happy with the quick and personal responses from Judith, the owner of the company. She answered all our questions, and suggested a programm that suited our wishes very well. Judith was very flexible in adjusting the programm when we asked for that. We planned a 6 days trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. Besides that we made a day trip to Embakaai crater where we descended to the crater lake by foot accompanied by an armed guide. A very beautiful experience away from the beaten tracks and other tourists. A good way to stretch our legs as well. Jumah, our driver and guide, was very experienced in spotting the wildlife. He has excellent knowledge of the animals, their names and background information, and about Tanzania as a whole. He was very patient, always trying to give us a new experience or a better point of view. And besides that, a very pleasant person to travel around with for 6 days. We stayed away from the 'crowds' as much as possible, which gave us the possibility to fully experience the beauty and abundance of nature and its wildlife. We saw so many animals without rushing from one place to the other. Most of the time we stayed in luxury tented camps. For us a wonderful way to experience Tanzania. Closer to nature and still all facilities and a good bed. The staff in the camps was very friendly and gave good service. The 4 wheel drive was very comfortable and spacious. Enough room for all people (4) to stand at the same time and have good views in all directions. Ajabu gave us an experience that was better than we expected! Special thanks to Jumah!

Welcoming the New Year in Kenya!
From the warm welcome at the airport in Nairobi, the Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris representatives have been amazing and very professional. The food was delicious, the camp fire was amazing.
The Masai Mara was amazing from the moment we arrive to the time we left. We saw a huge amount of wild life, including lions, cheetah, elephants, giraffe, hippo, and more. The wide open plains provided great opportunity to see the animals as well as the most brilliant sun rises and sun sets. Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris staff is a great company with reasonable price options and the staff was excellent and make the stay with them memorable, leaving you wanting to return in the future. The food was great. Our kids (3) enjoyed this unique experience. After all, it was worth the bumpy ride. We highly recommend this company.
