A perfect safari
Me and my best friend did safari with Safari Infinity last year....I have some beautiful pictures printed and clipped on my wall in the office….every time I look at them….I go back to Serengeti or Ngoro Ngoro and dream of going back.
Our 7 day safari was fantastic. We opted for an unlimited mileage safari and only the 2 of us (plus a fantastic guide Fasal).
The places we stayed, the food, people….everything was just fantastic. We have seen all the animals. And some of them from really close. What I really liked was a respect this agency has for animals.
Fasal was a professional guide, fluent in English and very well prepared, giving us information about the animals, nature and facts and sometimes explaining even some scientifical issues that we were not aware of. I had to say, we had a great fun.
A beautiful memory goes to our meeting with Maasai boys. Just a spontaneous meeting under the tree….and as Fasal knew we were keen on some pictures of Maasai….without being pushy or annoying…in form of a play….we took some fantastic pictures. We also showed to Maasai boys our pictures and explain few things from our lives.
The agency was very helpful. Lucia always kind and polite answering our never-ending questions….organizing for us every little step. We felt like 2 queens. Very well looked after and spoiled.
If I ever go back to Africa, I know who to contact to organize my perfect safari.

Sent me on the Trip of a Lifetime
From the minute we stepped off the plane in Africa, to the sad moment we headed home, everything was perfect. The trip exceeded our expectations beyond words. The communication and service between us and African Welcome Safaris was outstanding. The safari, as well as ALL of the excursions were exactly what we wanted. We were treated like Royalty every step of the way. There was not one single issue, error or problem during our 2 week stay. I highly recommend African Welcome. I especially would like to commend Kathi Simon for her patience, amazing knowledge, and her attention to every detail. We have every intention of returning one day, and will undoubtedly use her again.

Excellent service!
I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania with SED. While SED offers package tours, I preferred to customize the entire trip just for me. In sum, it was the BEST overseas travel experience I ever had (and I have traveled overseas a lot, not on tours). Elifasi, the manager, arranged all accommodations and itineraries to my specification, and he personally made sure that I was satisfied while I was there. SED was also very flexible and accommodating about my requests to make changes to the itinerary while traveling, and very honest and transparent about the charges or refunds involved in making these changes. I wanted to do a lot of hiking and see local cultures while I was there instead of just being driven to watch animals, and SED and Elifasi totally made this happen. When I twisted my left ankle during one of these hikes in the mountains, they took me to the hospital immediately, and made sure everything was ok and I was able to continue my travel. All in all, I am completely satisfied with SED, and I'd recommend them to anyone who's traveling to East Africa.

with Shian travel I enjoyed a well planed and interesting, relaxed holiday-
Communication: there was some lack of detailed information prior to the safari.
Service: I appreciated how you tried to follow our special wishes concerning lodges.
I very much appreciated your friendliness in the e-mail communications.
I also appreciated the clarity in the financial matters.
The safari tour itself was exceeding our expectation.

Amazing adventure, magical food!
We were four friends who was booked on a safari through wild things safari and we would not change a thing!
A girl from the Office met us at our first hotel i Dar se Salaam and went throug the basics. The following day we were picked up by our guide and went on an amazing adventure! He had knowledge about everything we asked about and more!
Not to forget- our chef! He cooked us the best food we had in a long time!!
We lived in tents right in the bush. Really nervwrecking but also really cool!
Right we would actually have wanted to change a thing, next time we'll stay more than Five days!
Educational, safe, fun!
The guide was knowledgeable and willing to point out both flora and fauna. Will do it again when the opportunity arises. Enjoyed the variety of game drives and courtesy of the guide.
Great safari and fully delivering what they promise
Very prompt response, punctual pick-up at the hotel and drop-off at the airport, pleasant staff (and doing their best to make sure you get to see all of the animals!)
All in all, very much recommended :)
A practical tip - make sure you have all the amount with you in USD cash. The exchange rates for the local currency was really bad at Maasai Mara, Kenya.

Excellent Tanzania Tour Company
SED Adventures is an excellent choice for anyone who wishes to plan their own itinerary. We were able to work with the company and plan our own trip, length of stay, lodging options, and even Kilimanjaro hiking route options. Our guides were excellent especially our safari guide who able to answer our numerous questions regarding animals and culture. We have wonderful memories of our trip to Africa. Please consider using SED Adventures for a trip tailor made to fit your needs.

The best personalized experience my wife and I have ever received! Philip was simply amazing!
The Wild Wind tours service was simply great and being our honeymoon (we had heard about all the horror stories of honeymoon trips gone bad) and our first time in Namibia we were both apprehensive of this tour to Namibia. Philip of Wild Wind safaris met us at HK airport and from that moment till he dropped us back we enjoyed every minute in lovely paradise called Namibia. Wild Wind safaris service was par excellence and Philip delivered beyond our expectations. He communicated speedily via email and was very accurate in his package communication. The tour thru the vast beautiful country of Namibia is one that we shall never forget -the game drives and the encounter with the bull elephant in Etosha will be etched on our memories forever. The food was great and I especially loved the impala steak :-). My wife went sky diving in Swakopmund and it was an awesome experience for both of us. The boat ride in Swakopmund into the cold waters of the Atlantic was amazing and seeing seals,dolphins and the mola mola fish was an experience. The experience of riding quad bikes in the dunes of the Namib desert was quite something. Philip gave us the most personalized and attentive service we have ever received and we have already decided our first annivesary will be in Namibia. We have sold Namibia to our friends! Namibia is a beautiful country and Wild Wind Safaris made it a most wonderful honeymoon.

4 weeks Tanzania: a great adventure our family will never forget thanks to Afroriginal
This summer we went for a very special trip for 4 weeks to Tanzania. Thanks to the tailor-made program from Desiree our family enjoyed it very much from the beginning to the end. We have seen things we will never forget: the chimps in Mahale, gamedrives in the beautiful national park of Katavi (what a privilege to have a gamedrive for a whole day seeing lots of wild animals and just 1 other car!). The 3-days walking tour with donkeys from Empakai crater to lake Natron was a great opportunity to see an extraordinary landscape and meet the Masai people in a natural way. Visiting a special camp in Serengeti was beyond our expectations and the trip at the Shira plateau of the Kilimanjaro is laid down in our memory. We are looking back to a well organized trip, and a warm welcome in Tanzania. Thanks for the good guidance, nice food, the wonderful journey, the professional approach and above all the personal touch! We can highly recommend Afroriginal to plan and organize a special trip off the beaten path that you’ll remember forever.
