First Safari with Safari Infinity - Superb!!
It's been a week since we've returned from our Safari accompanied by Safari Infinity in Tanzania. We haven't stopped talking about the great time we had with our guide from start to finish.
What started everything was a single picture posted on Facebook of a lion sitting on a termite mound at sunset. From that point on we had regular communication with Augustine and always got quick responses every time and throughout the year, right up until we left for our trip which gave us the confidence we needed. We did a thorough review of other clients who used Safari Infinity and concluded that this WAS the company to use which did not disappoint. Everything that we planned went as expected. From the Land Rover (very comfortable), full daily sight seeing, great accommodations from start to finish. From tented camps to luxurious lodges, the amazing views to the animals grazing freely around our tent. Going to different National parks and being exposed to the diversity it offered, which didn't disappoint. We were one of the lucky ones to have been able to see and capture the big five including the Black Rhino in the Ngorongoro crater which is a rare sight. Our guide, Karashi, was very welcoming, friendly, funny and his knowledge of the area and wildlife(52 different animals in one day) was totally amazing. We were also provided with a cell phone while on safari in case we had questions or issues, which we never needed, but was another level of comfort while abroad.
In conclusion, we could not have asked for a better company to deal with. Always professional, friendly and responsive to our questions or concerns and looking to make our trip memorable.
Anyone looking to go on safari, Go with Safari Infinity and you will not be disappointed.

I love the detail of speaking with me on the phone, simon is always on the go with answers to our bunch of questions to see what really I was looking for on my dream trip to East Africa. The itinerary was followed to the latter and each place was incredible, to the tempo and places. Already talking with them about my return trip and only been home 5 days. Super company , wildrace Africa safaris!
The most memorable part of my trip; all 5 senses were engaged at all times the guide George is a super human, Always the fast to spot the Animals, at a point we felt like we were in a lecture room, all details about each and every animal, land scape, people and even life spun, amount of food to the adaptive and mechanic defence of all the animals were just but at his fingertips. Kudos George you love your job will sure recommend you for private guide in our next trip .The people of Kenya and Tanzania, so happy and so welcoming.

First African Experience .......memorable!!!!!!!!!
It was my first safari in Africa and it couldn't be better! The trip was really well organized.. Everything was wonderful... the camps, the people, the sightings....Thank you Ute !!!!!
Excellent first safari
I went with my mom. It was both of our first safari, her first time to Africa and my first time to tanzania (though I have traveled to many other places in africa). Kanuth was professional throughout the whole process. I was only able to book the trip about a week before and was a bit worries that it would be too short a time to plan, but everything worked out perfectly. Our driver Emmenuel was friendly, professional, and spoke excellent English, and made the trip so much fun. We stayed at the Kinga lodge which was beautiful, clean, and with excellent staff. Saw all the animals on the safari except for elephants. Kanuth can arrange anything you want for your holiday as he also arranged for is a small trip to Zanzibar after the safari. Just tell him what you want to do and he can help you plan the logistics.

Very Professional, knowledgble and Flexible!
Umubano Tours were very professional, attentive and flexible. While I only had a 3-day tour, Umubano Tours offers dozens of different tours around Rwanda as well as into the Democratic Republic of Congo that allows for a night stay near the top of an active volcano that I wish I had extra time for. I organized my trip through Gilbert who has been with Umubano Tours for around eight years and organized a flawless visit. My guide was Didier who has been with for over four years and was very knowledgeable and open as I would ask questions not only about Rwanda’s recent history, but about the type of food, agriculture, and local traditions. Didier was also very flexible as I had other requests which he was all too happy to arrange at no extra charge. Also, Didier was very accommodating when I would ask to stop frequently to take pictures.
The city tour is very basic and probably could be avoided, but a visit to the Genocide Museum is a must and free of charge.
Visiting the Mountain Gorillas. There is a $700 permit fee and a one-day visit is probably good enough, but you have come this far and I would recommend another day as you will not only be able to compare the different gorilla families, but guarantee you will take the perfect photo/video that you may have missed the day before!
Unless you can guarantee that it will not rain when hiking, here is a list that you should bring: Waterproof Boots, Gators, Higher quality/thicker hiking pants (stinging nettles everywhere!), and gloves. There are multiple options to see the various gorilla families and each brings its own experience. Personally, I enjoyed the Susa group the most as, not only was it the largest family, but with more adult males – there was plenty of aggressive play that really made the experience worthwhile. Depending upon the shape you are in may greatly effect which family/hike you can visit. Some are affected by the altitude (around 8000 feet high) and tire much easier. Otherwise, the hikes themselves range in distance and difficulty – but even the longest hike may only be 2-3 hours uphill one way. The drive to each Gorilla family trailhead may also require a 1-2 hour drive. Porters are also available to help bring your backpack if you prefer.
Part of the fun is that the Gorillas are very active and do move frequently - so just when your guide says you are close – the gorillas have moved even further up the mountain. Additionally, the guides carry machetes and will constantly be clearing a new path throughout the hike. Once you find the family, there is a limit of one hour – but surprisingly it does not go as quick as you would think
The guides are very professional and will all but guarantee you will get close enough for an experience you would not forget!

2 weeks in Zambia organised by Ramona
We decided to book our very first trip to Africa with Go2Africa, because we had read quite a lot of positive reviews, and were not disappointed. Ramona managed to plan a trip according to our budget and needs. We spent one week in Lower Zambezi NP in three different but equally wonderful camps. We saw a lot of wild animals and wonderful sights. People were very friendly and knowledgeable. Most of all, we told Ramona that we wanted to visit Livingston/Victoria falls, but after the hustle and bustle of the place, we wanted to relax in a secluded but luxury hotel. She managed to find a wonderful hotel by the Zambezi River, so we went back home having been able to rest before going back to work. A tremendous experience, probably our best holidays ever. We would definitely recommend Go2Africa.

Kenyan custom safari
Our safari adventure was perfectly tailor-made to our wishes of having the safari experience and getting a taste of the real Africa. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and thoughtful service from Safari Joe. Their attention to detail was fantastic, as was their knowledge of Kenyan wildlife, which was certainly put to the test by our inquisitive son, Charlie.
We crammed an enormous amount into our two week stay, but wished we could have stayed longer. Our cycle safari through Hells Gate National Park was completely amazing, and seeing the sunrise in the Masai Mara was awesome. Camping next to hippos was a first for us, as was chilling in our beach front chalet on the Indian Ocean! So many amazing memories!
Steph and Tony provided us with wonderful food for the entire trip and the most excellent company. We dearly hope we can go back again for a new adventure with them and Safari Joe. We can't recommend them highly enough. Totally brilliant!!
