I would strongly recommend Roger and Safari Lifestyles
Safari Lifestyles organised our two week safari in the Okavango Delta, Botswana for my family of five from Sydney (April 2017, Jacana Camp, Machaba Camp, Kings Pool camp). I wanted an reputable operator that was locally based and had genuine/recent expert knowledge. I was also very nervous about sending money off to a foreign country over the internet. Roger Turski and Safari Lifestyles were very responsive by email at every turn. Roger was also available to speak with over Skype which was reassuring. In the end, the safari exceeded our wildest dreams. Three camps, all great but all different; a very well balanced trip. Seamless transfers, great guides. It is a challenging environment, so t was even more impressive how smoothly everything went. Roger has been to many of the camps himself, photographed them himself, and was clearly passionate about delivering a trip exceeded our wishes. The entire trip was prepaid with *everything* included as designed. I spent two weeks without any keys or wallet in my pockets which was a personal highlight of the trip. We opted to tip our guides and buy a few trinkets but that was it whilst we were on safari.

Karongwe River Lodge was an excellent choice, highly recommended.
We normally book our accommodation with lodges directly, we have been to almost all lodges in Kruger & Madikwe. We contacted Sally from Sabi Sands Reservations at ATC and we asked her to recommend a lodge that is different and somewhere we haven't been. Sally sent us a proposal for Karongwe River Lodge and I must admit, I didn't think much of the place as I haven't heard of it!
We were given all the information, location and the price of the lodge and as usual we did our research and found the lodge quite appealing. It even has great reviews on tripadvisor. Karongwe was everything wa hoped and more, luxury accommodation, big five game and great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karongwe and we highly recommend using the services of African Travel Consultants as sometimes you think you know everything until you find out otherwise. Thank you Sally for your service and your recommendation of Karongwe.

In good hands
We went with Savannah for a Kilimanjaro trek and a five day safari in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Our entire experience with them was seamless and convenient. Could not recommend their guides (both trek and safari) more highly. Thoroughly professional and always watching out for our safety and comfort. I would use them again and would strongly recommend them to anyone who asked.

No Worries !!!!!
Recently worked with Natasha from Sun Safaris on booking two camps, Africa on Foot and Senalala. I simply cannot say enough about Natasha. She truly handled everything at no extra cost! Booking a safari can be a daunting experience but I can assure you it is totally worry free with Sun Safaris.
Africa on Foot was very nice for what it is, which is an older camp offering "on foot" walking safaris. The food was good the staff was very responsive.
Senalala was excellent!!! You can tell the staff really enjoy working with each other, the fod was excellent and the guides were great. This is a very nice camp with a water hole just across an dried river bed (at the time). Both nights we were there the lions serenaded us to sleep. A great bunch of people here.

A very excelent touring company
A journey of my life. That way you could name it. In September 2016 I made this trip organized by African Heart Expeditions. We got a tour guide who saw everything. The behavior of the animals could predict and much about the animals knew. Everything was taken care of. In addition to the clear briefing, everything went on rolls. True attention to the customer, even though you were no longer a customer. Before the trip, there was regular contact and all our questions were answered. During the safari there was nothing too much. As a hobby photographer, I came more than enough to draw. Greeted by the Tanzania virus, I decided to go again this year. A real reminder for anyone who loves nature and an organization that still has personal attention.

Best Safari Company Ever!
Migada can take you on an experience unlike any other! The drivers are very experienced and talented in knowing the best locations to find certain animals. They are very educated in animal knowledge and thoroughly answered any and all questions I had. Our driver, Laurence, is fluent in four languages and was the friendliest man. I named my pet fish after him! He taught us so much and was very patient and accommodating. I would recommend this organization above all! The owner is a very kind and generous man and all of the drivers are very dedicated and welcoming. Thank you, Migada, for such a fantastic time!

Perfect end to end customized service
I happened to be going to Nairobi-Naivasha for a conference and decided to do 10-12 days of safari after that. I'm so glad one of the first online sites I found was Chalo Africa. They helped me customize the trip to perfection, putting up with all my weird demands, got me the best deals as a solo-traveller and did all my bookings and sent me all my tickets, information packets, additional information, etc. - a lot of which I was not even expecting as a "service"! Tanvi was always available throughout this process on the phone, whatsapp - went out of her way to truly customize the trip for me and really made me feel special! The icing on the cake is that when I thought their duty was over and now I would be interacting with the local tour partners in Africa (Gamewatchers/ Asilia) .... Chalo Africa surprised me by creating a whatsapp group only for me and 3 of their people which I could use to ask any question at any point during my trip and one of them would always be there to respond! What service!! Truly exceeded my expectations on all counts!!
