Very good return on price, cheap and as good as the others
I went for a 3 days Tarangyre, Ngorongoro & Manyara with Arusha Expedition & Safari
Everything was perfect, I slept in a wonderful Lodge with view on Lake Manyara 2 nights. I was almost alone, and I paid only 806 €. Other agency were asking arround 1,200 €.
So, very good bargain, I recommend.
Holiday of a lifetime.
I have just enjoyed a wonderful safari holiday with my family and have nothing but praise for the company and staff.
We had an excellent guide and driver in James. When he promised leopards and lions etc., he delivered. Nothing was too much trouble. If he heard us say elephant or giraffe we immediately drove to find them.
We stayed in the lovely Sopa Lodge where the staff again were so kind.They baked a cake for my son's birthday and danced round the whole dining room to deliver it to the delight of all the guests.
I would encourage everyone to consider them when booking a safari holiday. You made my dreams come true.

Personal, professional and attentive to details, this tour orchestrated an amazing adventure! Went to Addo Elephant Parka while ago and it truly was terrific.

Really nice experience, recommend it!
Travel For Change Africa was recommended to us by a friend who travelled with them in 2016. We did a ten day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. I must say we were impressed by the level of professionalism exhibited by the company. Email response was really fast, and Patrick our Kenyan driver was very knowledgeable and fun. We learnt so much about the animals and the people of Kenya. The journey to Isebania border was a full day game drive. As a cautionary tale, clients should be careful when crossing from Kenya to Tanzania through the Isebania border because in our case the drive was very long and hectic and the roads were no good. Anyone who doesn't fancy long drives can request for a flight even though it's a little bit expensive. We did not have any extra money for a flight so we opted to go for the drive. The Travel for Change sales team advised us to either fly or spend a night in Lake Victora to reduce the driving distance but we were very eager to get to Tanzania so we did not agree to either of the two options. Our Tanzanian driver James was not only knowledgeable but also fun as well. In short, we tremendously enjoyed our stay in both countries and we couldn't have asked for more. Asanthe Travel for Change team for the wonderful experience.
Kruger Park Safari
Our safari experience exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Doug, was fantastic. He helped us set up activities that we would enjoy and woke us up in the morning to make sure we'd get to them on time. He was extremely knowledgeable about where, when, and how to look for animals while we were driving around the park. He even helped us find better accommodations in Johannesburg. He was friendly, courteous, and helpful in every way. Highly recommended!

What an Amazing Beautiful and Friendly Country!
Uganda is an amazingly beautiful country! With nice accommodations, beautiful scenery and great variation. From the savannah landscapes of Elizabeth National Park, to the great lakes with and the jungle of the impenetrable forest of Bwindi.
The wildlife is great, with the Mountain Gorillas but with also many other different kind of species like Chimpanzees, Hippo's, Uganda cobs, Lions and even Leopards. Some more abundant then others of course.
Uganda does also have a very rich birdlife.
I expected lots of rain but even when we were there, in the rainy season, the number of days we had rain were very limited. We had great weather with a lot of nice and sunny days.
The people in Uganda have good English skills and are really very friendly.
Only the roads could use a big upgrade. Prepare to have some bumpy rides!

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Maarten Elings
This is truly a must-see in Namibia. It was our first experience with the desert in our lives and it was absolutely breath-taking.
Start your days early (the ground temperature can rise to 80°C) and visit the Deadvlei, Sossusvlei and climb the Dune 45 (before 11:00, because of the exposure and heat).
Be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen. The view from Dune 45 is astonishing. It gives a broad overview of the area and you’ll be able to see the massive Big Daddy and Big Momma dunes.
An advice we learned while visiting: if you go early enough then climb it on your bare feet. If you can’t make it to the dune early in the morning then climb it while wearing socks.
The soft sand makes it hard to walk on either sneakers or walking shoes.
Most campsites have waterholes for the Oryx’s. In our case we had one just a few meters from our cottage so during the day (and especially the night!) it was swarming with desert foxes and Oryx’s.
If there is a pool near your campsite/cottage then make sure to visit it at night. It usually attracts thirsty wildlife.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Jeroen
We hiked for several hours in Bwindi to find and spend time with the gorillas, which we did, it was amazing! Its great to walk through a jungle. You can't get much more bush vibe than this. We did not see much other wildlife though. Maybe because we did not search for it.

Fantastic Safari
We enjoyed a fantastic and memorable 10-day safari with Tekko Tour. From our first email contact with Tekko Tours, we felt welcome and in excellent hands. Carol was instrumental in helping us plan our trip. She customized our itinerary to fit our needs, always answering our many inquiries and requests timely and with the most patient, professional and kind attitude.
We ended up visiting 6 national parks and managed to see the Big Five and many more beautiful animals. Our driver Jackson was amazing, always working to ensure that each game drive was filled with new animal sightings. One of our highlights was observing a Cheetah hunt. His seemingly endless efforts in showing us Kenya made this safari a great and successful tip. Jackson’s knowledge of the animals, local areas, history was never ending. He seemed to know just about everything and everybody in Kenya.
Thank you Tekko Tours, especially Carol and Jackson for a memorable trip. We highly recommend you.
