A once-in-a-life time experience
We had the great pleasure of being guided by Wiliam during our safari in Mikumi and the Ruaha River region, and we honestly could not have asked for a better guide. From the very beginning, he impressed us with his professionalism and reliability – he was always punctual, drove us safely and with great care, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire journey.
What truly set Wiliam apart, however, was his incredible knowledge and passion for nature. Whether it was the smallest plant, a rare bird, or one of the majestic animals we encountered, he was always able to share fascinating details and explanations in a way that was both informative and captivating. He had the rare gift of knowing when to speak and when to simply let us enjoy the silence and beauty of the surroundings, which made every moment feel special and authentic.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Wiliam was also simply a wonderful person to spend time with. Whether at breakfast or dinner, his presence was always a delight – warm, respectful, and genuinely kind. He made us feel safe, well taken care of, and allowed us to connect with Africa’s incredible nature on a very deep level.
Thanks to Wiliam, this safari was not just a trip, but a truly enriching experience. We left with so much knowledge, unforgettable impressions, and the feeling that we had really learned something meaningful. We can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering a safari – and if we ever have the chance to return, we would choose Wiliam again without hesitation.

Extremely professional tour operator with excellent value for money
We have been introduced to Red Africa Safaris by a very experienced traveller and long time friend, who travelled with them in previous years.
We are a family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) and Red Africa Safaris has arranged for us a 9-day self drive trip from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth with a 4 days extension at Kruger Park and Blyde river Canyon.
Amelia has provided an excellent organization of the tour and selection of the accomodations and has been able to meet all our requirements and indeed to exceed our expectations.
Jaco has been super kind and patient with us and extremely professional to guide us in the days we spent together visiting the Blyde river canyon and neighboring areas.
We have also very much valued the support of Red Africa Safaris to the conservation fund, which fully aligns with our approach to nature and wildlife. It has been definitively a trip of a lifetime and could not be happier.

Our Adventure in Kenya
For our safari in Kenya, we chose Beacon Safaris, and we couldn’t have made a better decision. We booked with Robert, who assisted us with great professionalism and care, arranging an itinerary that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli.
All the accommodations selected were excellent, comfortable, and perfectly suited to our needs.
A special thanks goes to our driver Daniel, whose professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge made the journey truly unforgettable. During the game drives, he shared many explanations about the animals’ habits, enriching the experience and allowing us to fully appreciate every encounter. Thanks to him, we managed to see all of the Big 5 and enjoyed moments that will remain in our hearts forever.
We highly recommend Beacon Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized experience in Kenya

There is still room for improvement
The driver and tour guide Brandon is amazing. Follow the national parks rules and respect the nature. He is a mature and thoughtful young blood.

For the agency, I would suggest Camptrek that DO NOT arrange any AA LODGE Group accommodation in to itinerary. The shower heater is sucks really.

Responsive, easy, and thorough
The team at Phine Safaris was very responsive from the moment I asked for a quote to climb Mount Kenya and answered all of my questions beforehand. They met me easily for transport and had an experienced driver take me to the mountain and set me up with a great team. All around a wonderful experience on Mount Kenya thanks to Phine Safaris.

A great host who knows the secrets of the Serengeti
I traveled with my husband, cousin and my two young kids (5 and 7). Our Guide, Abas, paid special attention to finding a cheetah, my son's favorite animal
Abad knew right where to look to find one resting under a tree, we were able to get so close. My son will be talking about that experience for years to come. We appreciate the hospitality and thoughtful gestures along our journey. I highly recommend them for any family looking for an unforgettable safari experience.

He was competent, knowledgable and warm.
I was afraid that the Masai Village tour would be touristy and commercial. I was re leaved to discover that it was anything but that. After a long ride through beautiful and fascinating terrain, we stopped in a field. After a while a Masai mad came to greet us and welcome us to his world. Hospitality is a cornerstone on Masai culture. A group of perhaps twenty women of all ages appeared in colorful traditional Masai garb to sing and dance an elaborate welcome. They seemed to be greatly enjoying themselves. Then we hiked into the forest to meet"under the tree" . I am 83 and not a strong walker, but David, out guide, lent encouragement and support, and I discovered that I was equal to the challenging trek. We met "under the tree" with the men, who shared their views on Masai medicine and childbirth customs. David translated from the Swahili. I cannot stand comfortably, so I asked if I could lean against "the tree". Permission was granted, and then someone appeared out of nowhere with a plastic chair for me. There was one woman in our group, and although Masai culture could be called counter feminist, she reported feeling welcome and respected. We were welcomed into their dung huts, and admired their herds of cattle and goats. A fabulous trip!
