Unforgettable experience
An amazing 9 day safari through Botswana, staying at 4 different locations and tenting all the way. KB our guide had fantastic knowledge of both animals and birds and always managed to find animals and position us for maximum viewing. The 5 staff who came with our group of 5 worked tirelessly looking after us, nothing was any trouble and they did it all with smiles on their faces. Brighten, our cook, produced outstanding food, all cooked over an open fire, right down to gluten free bread, wow!
We saw more animals than we could have imagined, and more than just ticking them off, we learned so much about their habits and behaviors. Thanks Olly, KB and the team, it was so special!

Great management from start to finish
Fantastic team at Plex Africa! Big shout out to Ricardo who made our experience so enjoyable especially with my 2 year old son who loved him.
Ricardo had great knowledge and experience and tried his best to show us the animals we wanted to see. Food at lunch was really authentic and fresh.
Definitely recommend the 1 day trip if you have a small child

John Cooper is the most knowledgable, calm, honest, funny, passionate person, & an excellent driver!
This trip was more than we could ever have imagined. Coop sure knows his stuff & provided an unforgettable experience. Nothing was too much trouble for Coop & he genuinely wanted our group to get the most out of this trip.His many local contacts along the way greeted him with big smiles & obvious respect. The itinerary was already fabulous but it was all the little things that Coop took us to, like sundown drinks at a special bar, or dinner at a club he knows or helping with bargaining at busy markets, that made this trip so special. All the accommodation was lovely & very varied, the food was fabulous & the staff could not have been more attentive. Our group had a couple of add on trips outside of Coop's itinerary & with Coop's help this was seamless in execution. We were always picked up & dropped off with no waiting around. We had such a great time on all the Game Drives & saw all the animals including leopards & cheetah's. The Safari's were broken up with visits to Victoria Falls, Makgadikgadi Pans, meeting meerkat's, canoeing on the Okavango Delta & we snuck in a Gin Distillery as well! This trip was definitely value for money given the incredible experiences we had & personal service from Coop. I might just have to go again one day!

3 Day Naivasha Trip
First, the consultant was understand. They asked me for the experience that I was looking to get. They made sure I enjoyed my trip to Naivasha. Book everything from the 4*4 Popup rooftop Landcruiser which was very comfortable, to the hotel Enashipai, to the boat ride to Crescent Island.
They also followed up on us, let us know everything was sorted out and asked if we had any issues. To my surprise, they also gave us a free night to spend.
Thanks, Transborder Tours and Travel

Very respectful and accommodating Operator
We had David as our driver for one of the safari days and even when we couldn't make it to the tour destination due to personal reasons he was more than happy to drop us and pick us up from a hotel of our choosing while keeping up with us and checking on our situation which shows how truly caring their team is

Well planned, nice tour in Botswana.
We had a private tour wirh Cuckoo Safaries in Botswana. Starting from Maun airport until Kasane it was great. All guides (Lee in Maun, Figo in Chobe) were polite, helpful and knowledgeabe. Hotels were good. Thanks to Tatenda and Simon for their support.

Reliably, customers friendly, experienced.
I enjoyed my trip with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions very much, the communication with the company was perfect, they kept everything which was agreed. The guide was friendly, experienced, I got a lot of informationn about the park and wildlife, and he was also an excellent driver. If I come to Tamzania again in the future, I will contact Tanzania Road Expeditions again.

Dedicated, Organized, and Flexible
My wife and I had an absolutely incredible time with our safari adventure through African Big Cats Safaris. Our guide, Lodhi, was so kind, knowledgeable, hardworking, and flexible throughout our trip. He picked us up from the airport on time, explained so much about the wildlife, Tanzanian culture, and answered any questions we had. He was a very skilled driver and maneuvered the jeep through mud and flooded roads with ease. We always felt completely comfortable with him. We were astonished with his wildlife locating skills - he was able to get us some unforgettable views of lions, elephants, a leopard, cheetahs, etc. He always knew exactly where to go! He was also very accommodating when it came to picking us up from our hotels in the morning for our daily game drives - he never made us feel rushed. He made it clear we could go whenever we wanted. My wife and I also thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with him and learning about his culture. We would highly recommend booking a safari with African Big Cats - but specifically ask for Lodhi if you want an unforgettable experience!
