A perfect guide for a wonderful experience in the Tanzanian nature !
5/5

Communication and paying the company went well. The guide was speaking french and was really educational and instructive on animals and the nature we saw. He has great eyes to spot animals ! He listened to us well every time we wanted to stop or had questions. The coordination with lunch and night at the camp was perfect and smooth. We had such a great experience here in Tanzania ! Great memories, thanks to Ubuntu Safaris.

Very responsive
5/5

I recently returned from an 8-day safari tour in Kenya, and it was truly one of the best experiences of my life. The tour was incredibly well-organized, and everything that was promised was delivered exactly as described. Any minor issues that arose were handled promptly and professionally, which made the journey smooth and stress-free.

A major highlight was getting to see all of the Big Five—plus numerous big cats and an amazing variety of birds. Every game drive brought something new and thrilling. Nature at its best!

Special thanks to Bryan, our tour guide, who was always punctual and helpful throughout the trip. He ensured we were well taken care of and made sure we didn’t miss any wildlife sightings.

A few points for improvement:
• The guide could be a bit more interactive and share interesting facts or stories without needing to be asked.
• The food could have been more varied, as we ended up having similar meals most days.

That said, the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this safari to anyone looking for a memorable adventure in Kenya!

Amazing safari experiences in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara!
5/5

We had a 3-day safari trip with African Masterclass Tours and Safari Limited, and it was truly an amazing experience. On the first day, I went to Tarangire National Park and saw many elephants, giraffes, and different types of deer. Our guide was very knowledgeable and always took us to a good animal viewing spot. Ngorongoro Crater was the most memorable - we were very excited to see the endangered black rhino. On the last day at Lake Manyara National Park, I saw tree climbing lions and a lot of colorful birds. The stay at Marrera Valley Lodge was very comfortable, and the food was also excellent. Their service is really commendable, very nicely done airport pickup and drop off. I had a great time throughout the trip with no problems.

Africa Uncovered Safaris — Botswana Magic (July 2025)

I recently completed the 7-day Botswana Magic tour with Africa Uncovered Safaris and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Archie was incredibly prompt and helpful in responding to my inquiry, which was especially appreciated as I was comparing nearly ten different tour operators. He quickly understood my preferences and helped me choose between two itineraries, with clear and timely communication throughout the booking process.

The itinerary itself was very well thought out and smoothly executed, offering a fantastic overview of Botswana’s natural highlights. The absolute highlight for me was the time spent in and around Chobe National Park — the evening river cruise was breathtaking and the game drives provided stunning photo opportunities thanks to the beautiful scenery and lighting. The guides from the various lodges were all excellent: knowledgeable, professional, and passionate.

On the ground, Muza led the trip and did a brilliant job handling logistics and driving. I felt safe and well cared for throughout. I was also accompanied by Nabi, a new member of the Africa Uncovered team on his familiarization trip, who was a wonderful companion on the game drives and bush walks, with a sharp eye for spotting wildlife. I wish him all the best in his new role.

Logistics were flawless: all transfers and accommodation check-ins were handled seamlessly and I barely had to think about a thing. The lodges were all clean and comfortable, with hot showers, good food (especially at Nata Lodge), and excellent bird-watching even on the lodge grounds. Importantly, although I was the only traveler on these dates — and the tour might not normally run with such low numbers — Archie and the team honored my booking without ever suggesting a cancellation or change, and I’m forever grateful for this. In the end, I enjoyed what was essentially a private tour, making the experience even more special.

What stood out most to me was the joy of seeing wildlife up close and learning about birds and nature from Muza, who shared stories and insights about local culture, wildlife, and history.

I really appreciated seeing such a variety of areas in Botswana — from the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans — and now I know that on my next visit, I’ll likely focus on one or two parks and spend even more time on game drives, which I especially enjoyed. Also, traveling in July is fantastic — cool, dry weather and few mosquitoes!

In short: I wish I could have stayed longer.
I would absolutely recommend Africa Uncovered Safaris to anyone considering a trip to Botswana and look forward to planning another safari adventure with them.

Unforgettable Experience with Spirit of Kenya
5/5

We've just returned from our honeymoon safari with Spirit of Kenya and can genuinely say it was an absolutely exceptional experience. From the very first moment, the team provided incredible support that made all the difference.

A special thank you to Victor, whose professionalism and assistance throughout the planning phase were outstanding. His emails were consistently clear, timely, and incredibly precise, which made us feel completely confident and well-prepared from the very beginning.

Once we were there, every single day surpassed our expectations. The organization was flawless, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. A huge special thanks to our on-ground team, Cyrus and Raphael. They were simply fantastic: always punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. They ensured everything ran smoothly and were wonderful company throughout the journey.

Thanks to them, we saw truly amazing animals and landscapes, and had an unforgettable adventure.

We wholeheartedly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone considering visiting this wonderful country.

Thank you again for everything! ASANTE SANA from Spain :)

For An African Safari you Must Use Lion King!
5/5

We just completed a trip of a lifetime: 10 days in Tanzania and Zanzibar; all put together by Lion King. Our guide Shedrack, was extremely professional properly dressed, polite, always had a smile and helped with our luggage. PLUS, he was an excellent guide telling us about our daily excursions as well as about the people and history of Tanzania. And, most importantly we saw every African animal we dreamed of and then some. Shedrack knew how to scout out the most elusive animals.Everything we would expect from a 1st class guide and company.

Couldn’t be happier!
5/5

Uganda - amazing 9 days seeing so many different parts of the country.
Whilst the highlights were so obviously the chimps and gorillas, we loved all the wildlife, villages, children and all the lodges.
Favourite had to be Aadvark Lodge in Queen Elizabeth NP.
We spent 9 days with Baker who enthralled us with his bird knowledge, we had many a lively chat about the differences between the UK and Uganda and have some thoughts to bring home!!
We both totally fell in love with the country.
Rwanda - we were surprised how different the two countries were and so we were able to enjoy the landscape, villages and people, plus of course the wildlife.
We were with James for 3 days who was wonderful and explaining the countries history with such pride and dignity!
We stayed at Akergara Rhino lodge for 2 nights - absolutely wonderful lodge and couldn’t recommend enough.
The genocide memorial museum was tough, but so it should be and felt humbled to hear their stories.
Guides - Both Baker and James were brilliant and made so much effort to ensure we saw as much as we could, thank you both.
Company - we have dealt predominantly with Anne, who answered all our emails super quick & effectively from the very start of our enquiry about the safari itself.
Thank you for everything.
We have returned feeling very privileged to have seen everything we have seen.

Elias was the best tour guide one could ask for. He was knowledgeable, timely, & went above & beyond
5/5

Will recommend Jocky Tours to everyone I know! They were timely, communicative, and planned all logistics smoothly. Our trip itself was fantastic! Elias was the best tour guide and he gave us the perfect 3 day adventure in Masai Mara, even going above and beyond so our group could see lions, cheetahs, and for the big surprise.. a leopard! An absolutely amazing trip that I will remember for years to come. Jambo Mara was also an excellent accommodation for our stay, could not recommend this 3 day trip with Jocky Tours more, especially for female solo travelers, those with limited visit time who want to experience all Kenya has to offer, and those who want a quality luxury safari without totally breaking the budget! I will be recommending Jocky Tours to everyone I know and hope to use them (and Elias) again on my next trip to Kenya

Knowledgeable, welcoming and fun
5/5

Communication with Morningstar was excellent in the run up and during our Safari. Alex Musila was our guide for the week. He made the trip awesome. We always knew what to expect and were able to spend time seeing all of the great animals in Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Our flight from Nairobi was delayed and Alex / Morningstar took great care of us. Highly recommended.

Easily the best vacation ever!
5/5

We were visiting friends in Dar es Salaam and wanted to do a safari for my 12 year old daughter and I and they recommended Tanzania Choice - and it was perfect! Brenda made the communication before we arrived very easy - asking what we wanted and making sure we knew what was likely given the time of year and options we had. She even checked in just a week before arrival to make sure that our eVisas got processed smoothly since the government was running behind! Noel picked us up from the airport and everything went so unbelievably smoothly. Literally everything went as scheduled from arrival to departure. We visited Arusha, Tarangire, and Serengeti national parks and Ngorogoro crater, peppered with a canoe trip (watching flamingos take off from the water just in front of us was a highlight for me), hot air balloon ride (the view was amazing) and a visit to the Olduvai Gorge Museum and historic site (wow, so much history). These 'extras' broke everything up in such a smooth way. But Noel was just amazing - I feel like he had xray vision for the animals, and really knew how to 'read' their movements. Such as watching a herd of zebras and then just figuring out where the lions were resting when all the other guides gave up and moved on. And I loved how he just responded to our whims - one day focused on birds, another on baby animals - and making sure that we had an amazing experience each and every day. I also can't say enough about the accommodations. We did mostly tents - and they were awesome, bathrooms and showers inside, with marabou storks and zebras roaming around just outside! I would recommend Tanzania Choice in an instant, because of the preparation, knowledge and just ease of working with them. Thanks Noel!!! You rock.
