Professional and friendly.
Our guide Champion knows the area very well, brought us to the right place at the right time, found all the animals for us and explained all about them. He is always very patient and friendly. It was amazing how we could see the animals in different situations and feel completely secure. Highly recommended.

The little engine that could! Never thought we’d find a safari company we could afford and ❤️
We were a family group of 6 that wanted to travel only with our group. We knew the area and animals we wanted to see and the number of days we could travel. To say that Sekanka camp staff were beyond our wildest expectations is an understatement. Our cook was constantly amazing us with homemade breads and treats made in a camp fire stove box. She fed all of us including a picky vegetarian, and we loved every meal.
Our leader Lowe was the kindest, hardest working man who would do anything for you - and did. He will always be considered part of our family.
Our Guide Eddie was top notch. He knew every single animal, bird and plant we looked at. He could spot a hidden lion in a split second that we couldn’t see for minutes after he stopped and pointed her out. He knew every road and path in every park, was patient with our questions and game for anything we wanted to do.
We really never thought we’d find could find a safari for just the six of us that we would be able to afford. Once we got to Africa we were still afraid that maybe it was too good to be true and no one would pick us up - but Sekanka was there for us every step of the way. We would go back in a heartbeat

Perfect combination of adventure and care free travel
The trip we took was the perfect combination of adventure and carefree travel. Safaris, canoeing, snorkelling, and hiking — this holiday had everything we wanted and was tailored exactly to our wishes.
In our personal travel guide, each day was clearly outlined: what time we needed to leave, what we would be doing, and which parts of the route required extra attention from us.

Stephen was a great guide!
My husband and I completed a 12-day birding and primate safari with Bushman Safaris. Our driver & guide, Stephen, was fantastic! He’s an excellent birder and an experienced guide and professional. We appreciated all the little details he saw to for us (drinking water, checking us in to the hotels, helping us find an ATM and gum boots, etc.) and felt safe and cared for in his hands. We learned and saw so much because of him! Most of the lodges/camps we stayed in quite lovely with good, healthy food. When organizing the trip, I communicated with Kate who was very professional, organized and clear in her communication. It was mostly because of her that I chose Bushman. Shortly before our trip, Kate left and other staff took over our account. These folks were not as professional or friendly and communication was frustrating. I hope they can improve these skills for future clients. Besides the staff communication, where I think Bushman could improve is being clear about what’s included in an itinerary and how long it realistically takes to get from place to place. (GoogleMaps was typically accurate on driving times.) We spent way more hours in a vehicle than we wanted and went to a few destinations that had little value for us. The roads in Uganda are bad once you get off the main highways, so that’s something that guests should be prepared for. It would have been good to have a focused consultation with them prior to finalizing the itinerary to really understand what to expect.

Wonderful 12-day experience with Inspired Feet
My friend and I had an amazing experience on our 12-day budget safari in Kenya and Tanzania. The trip was well-organized from start to finish. Since this was a joining safari, we changed guides and tour groups several times, but every transition was seamless thanks to Fiona’s planning and communication. She was always available throughout the trip to answer any questions we had. The locations, excursions, and accommodations all matched what was described in our itinerary. Overall, it was a fantastic and memorable adventure that exceeded our expectations at a good value for the price.

A perfect blend of romance and adventure
We chose Josero Tours and Safaris for our honeymoon, and it was the best decision we could have made. This was our first trip to Africa, and everything exceeded our expectations. The safari was perfectly organized, the accommodations were stunning and romantic, and every game drive felt like a dream.
Sharing such incredible moments together—watching elephants at sunrise, enjoying candlelit dinners, and experiencing the beauty of the wild made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. The Josero team was always available, kind, and very professional. If you are looking for a stress-free, romantic, and unforgettable honeymoon safari, look no further than Josero Tours and Safaris.

Awesome safari guide
We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend John Menri, a safari driver and guide with Simbaland Magic Tours. John was an exceptional part of our safari experience, and his professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeanor made our time in the bush truly unforgettable and ‘the trip of a lifetime.’
From the moment we set out each day, John demonstrated remarkable wildlife knowledge and tracking skills. He consistently anticipated animal movements, read tracks with precision, and knew exactly where to position the vehicle to give us the best—and safest—viewing and photo taking opportunities. Thanks to his expertise, we saw wildlife encounters we would have otherwise missed, including several animals that are notoriously difficult to find. Example: one time we pulled over slowly while other safari vehicles whizzed by, and John pointed out quietly - "There's a leopard in that tree. See? There."
John was also incredibly adaptable. He listened closely to our interests and priorities for each outing and tailored our drives accordingly. Whether we wanted to focus on predators, birdlife, or simply enjoy a slower, more scenic route, he made sure the experience matched our expectations while still maximizing our chances for memorable sightings.
Perhaps most importantly, John maintained a calm, attentive, and friendly presence throughout our journey. He's an interesting, intelligent person. When you spend several days in a bouncy, dusty vehicle with someone it helps that they are someone you can have an interesting conversation with.

Professional
It was a new experience, and the trip was more than wonderful. The organization was very beautiful and professional. Communication was easy, punctuality was maintained, and all services and amenities were provided with great care.
The value for money is very fair.
Many thanks to my brother, the organizer Philippe — an exceptionally wonderful person.

Malanga is a guide i would recommend
Malanga was very kind and experienced, he showed us everything he could and we were very satisfied. We have seen every possible animal we could like girrafes, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles and elephants also including lions and leopard. We have had lunch in the bush at camp. And our guide made stops when we wanted, and took soke nice photos of animals. It was very nice and we definetly wont forget that memory. Thank you Malanga =)

Helpful, good communication and pro-active
In July 2025, our family of four had an amazing holiday in South Africa. We truly saw everything we had hoped for beforehand.
After our first contact at a travel fair, Tailor Made Safaris helped us tremendously with suggestions, as well as planning and booking the different parts of our trip. Even during the journey, you can easily get in touch if needed, and they respond quickly whenever a small issue comes up in the activity planning.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Tailor Made Safaris for their support in planning, booking, and guiding a trip through Africa.
