Great time
5/5

Thank you for such an incredible trip.
I just would like to thank you again for arranging the wonderful Tanzania safari we had last week! We saw the big 5, leopards hanging in a tree from very close, three tree climbing lions, cheetahs, elephants and in fact all animals were looking to see not talking about thousands of wildebeest crossing the Grumeti River full of crocodiles. We really had an unforgettable time!

I cannot recommend this brilliant value-for-money Tour Operator enough!
5/5

I approached Safari Hub as a female travelling by myself. I wanted to visit Tanzania, its amazing national parks and photograph the wildlife. They were extremely helpful, well-organised, brilliant-value-for-money and very safety-conscious. I can highly recommend their 'weekly departure safari' aka the Tanzania Highlight Safari. The price they quoted was substantially better than any other tour operator that I spoke to. I had an absolutely incredible experience and was able to take some amazing photos…including ones of the big 5. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you Safari Hub!!!!!!

Kilimanjaro & Safari
5/5

Migunga Adventures very well organized our trip to Tanzania. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience thanks to Migunga Adventures' superb mountain guides. The following Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) was amazing as well. The tour guide was a real expert and was always able to show us the most promising spots to see all animals of these beautiful national parks. We can only highly recommend Migunga Adventures.

Research safari to Tarangire NP
5/5

I first met Jesse Mfoi, owner and operator of Naenda Safaris based in Moshi, TZ, in January 2010, when I completed a study abroad course on animal behavior observation in Tanzania. Jesse is a kind, professional individual with a wonderful staff, all of whom are excellent safari drivers. Jesse, and some of his drivers have attended the Mweka Wildlife College, where they learned skills essential to wildlife management and guiding safaris. Each of the drivers has their own way of showing you the beautiful country of Tanzania, and each knows the national parks very well, especially where to find certain animals. I cannot say enough about how easy Jesse and his crew are to work with and I would highly recommend them not only if you are looking to do research in Tanzania, but also just for vacation safaris. Naenda Safaris is also the only company with wheelchair-accesible vehicles which allows individuals in wheelchairs to see the beauty of Tanzania also. Jesse also donates a portion of their profits to local schools for children with disabilities. All around a great small safari company to support, with a true appreciation for social justice as well as seeing the magnificent environment that north-central Tanzania has to offer!

5/5

Vacay's customer care provided timely communication. We did not even to visit their offices for payment. All we did was deposit the cash in their account and left the rest to them. And the safari was just as we had imagined!

The trip has exceeded our expectations
5/5

From start to finish, the staff at Safarihub were the most dedicated, friendly and professional group of safari professionals me and my wife have ever dealt with. They tailor-made our Tanzanian safari to exactly suit our needs. We visited the Selous where we were amazed by the amount of animals we saw and especially elephants. We stayed at Rufiji River Camp, where the river is animated by many and different species of animals. It was phenomenal experience.
I cannot say enough about the excellent team in Safarihub who took care of us from start to finish. The safari guides were amazing. In fact they have become our friends. We had an excellent holiday and are both starting saving up for our next safari!

the perfect trip
5/5

When I decided to plan a two weeks travel to Namibia at the end of April I approached 3 local travel agencies. Nick Buys was the first to reply me and offered some options to arrange quickly a Western Namibia Safari for me and my husband. We decided for a guided tour as it was our first travel in Africa, and we're sure we did a good choice. Nick was so kind in answering to all our questions ,suggesting us places to visit and, at least, planning the trip. Our guide, Kit, was much more than a guide. So kind in teaching us a lot of things about nature, wildlife and history of the Country, and so able to carry us in the best spots during the game drives. After a couple of days it was like to travel with a good friend and we had a lot of fun together. The travel was fantastic, everything was OK, relaxing and interesting. All the places that we visited were so nice and different, with wonderful landscapes from deserts to sandy beaches. Everyday there was something different to see, the lodges were nice and located in gorgeous sites. It’s impossible to say what we liked more …. the deserts, Dead Veil, Swakopmund, 2 nights on the banks of the Kunene River, Etosha, the games, the sundowns…. The only thing we are sure is that we want to come back soon to Namibia to see the Caprivi, arranging the next trip with Nature Travel Namibia again. - Barbara e Paolo - Italy

Perfect trip and very well organised
5/5

It was fantastic and highly recommended!

At the end of October 2012 we visited South Africa for 19 days, our first introduction to Africa and first Tailor Made Tour.

We started in Cape Town and visited Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape Point, Hermanus, vineyards and did white shark cage diving.

We then flew to Durban and went on safari. We visited five different parks and went on many game drives. We also took part in game walks and safaris on horseback which were both exciting.

We stayed in fun and unique accommodations in beautiful locations, where we were looked after by the guide. If there was no restaurant the guide prepared the meals and also during the game drives we had breakfast and lunch prepared for us in the bush.

In short it was FANTASTIC and it is definitely recommended!

The score: All big five, plus black rhino, hyena, white shark

Overall rating
5/5

We had great weather - even though we visited during the rainy season, the rains managed to hold off until after we had retired to our tents after dinner - which was really nice. We did get caught in a deluge on the river for about 30 minutes one evening - but that was more of an experience than an inconvenience - as we had cover and didn't get wet at all.

I like to fish - and the camp has a pontoon boat for river safaris - I believe generally evening river cruises....fishing rods all rigged and ready to go...doesn't take too much effort to catch something - and there are plenty of different types of fish to catch!

On land we saw hippos grazing (out of the water)....2 packs of wild dogs 18 in one and 8 in the other...successful hunts & stealing an impala carcass from a spotted hyena.....eagle owls, all sorts of hawks, eagles, bee eaters, king fishers, egrets, goliath heron, lion, elephant.

The green season makes viewing a little bit more difficult - but the green color contrast and blossoms enhance the pictures....the private concession camp has the ability to bushwack off road and chase some sightings......not something that can be done in the national parks.

The day and night time temperatures were really comfortable in early March. we were not really ever bothered by mosquitoes or any sort of bugs.

Was a great area to visit....would definitely go back if there were not so many other interesting places yet to visit in Africa!

We even got periodic cell service from Namibia across the river. I wouldnt count on this - but it was a nice surprise to be able to send/receive txts for a few minutes.
