Personalized and Trustworthy Experience!
They are very flexible and can take you wherever you'd like. They handled all hotel and camp transfers. We felt safe the whole time. Their pricing was reasonable compared to other companies and they can work with you on price. We had an 8 person vehicle and private driver for just the two of us. Our favorite camp was Nykani. Our drivers were nice and informative. Alice did a great job communicating with us on what we wanted. Our expectations were met as far as service and quality. Alice's communication before, during, and after the safari made this review 5 stars because she made sure we were well taken care of during our safari.

“Fantastic Wildlife Experiences and Warm Hospitality”
We had a memorable trip overall, with several standout experiences, and a few areas that could be improved.
Our transfer from the airport to Insika Lodge was smooth and well‑organized. The hotel offered very good accommodation, although the dining experience didn’t quite meet expectations due to a few mix‑ups with food and drink orders. The Victoria Falls tour was wonderful.
The transfer vehicle to Botswana was unfortunately below standard. There was a noticeable exhaust smell inside the cabin, and the seats were in poor condition, which made the journey uncomfortable.
Our stay at Chobe Bush Lodge was excellent. The food and service were consistently very good, and the boat trip was a real highlight of our time there.
The bush camp, Kadizora Camp, was exceptional. The game drives and boat excursions were outstanding, the staff were warm and personable, and the food was truly wonderful. It was a first‑rate experience from start to finish. This experience we will not soon forget!

Excellent Service and Guidance
Good value for money. Very knowledgeable and friendly drivers and guides. The lady at the reception at Kruger Park Lodge for Elephant Herd was very helpful and helped arranged other tours as well. Definitely worth the money!!

Another amazing 5-star trip with Dancing Zebra Safari Company!
This was our 9th trip with Dancing Zebra, and for this one, I told Jessica early on (over a year in advance) that we wanted to see gorillas! I was not sure how we would work that in, but luckily for us, Jessica had gorilla trekking experience herself in Rwanda, so she personally knew all the ins and outs of adding this on! She recommended November, since prices and crowds will be lower, but all the animals are still there. Jessica came up with an itinerary starting at Tarangire National Park in Tanzania, then 6 nights in the Serengeti, then fly to Rwanda for the gorillas. She is the best at organizing a safari! Especially with multiple countries and internal flights, which can complicate things.
Our driver/guide in Tanzania was Steven James, and he is at the expert level of finding the animals. Especially leopards! One highlight was crossing the Mara River and heading close to the Kenya border, where hardly anybody else was going. We spotted a leopard, and stayed with her for several hours, being the only safari vehicle there! Another highlight was witnessing crossings of the Mara River by the wildebeest herds, including crocodile action! Without Stevens skill, we might not have seen any of this. He is one of the best. In fact, all our guides booked through Dancing Zebra in the 6 different countries we have been to, have been at the very top of their game. The Lemala camps we stayed at were excellent, as always. This was our third time at Lemala Kuria Hills, so they were glad to see us again. We stayed there the first time in 2020 for 10 nights, when hardly anyone was traveling (except us) due to all the Covid complications.
Then it was on to Rwanda. We flew to the capital city Kigali, and stayed there the first night, and toured the city the next morning. We had a knowledgeable private escort/driver throughout our Rwanda stay. We stopped at the Genocide Memorial, an experience I would recommend. We then drove to the Virunga Mountains, for two days of trekking for Gorillas and golden monkeys. Both treks were about 30 to 40 minutes hiking each way, which was less than we expected, and the lodge even cleaned the mud off our shoes when we got back! The gorillas were awesome; we spent about an hour with this family. They would walk right past you within touching distance, but we never felt any fear. They were mainly gentle and ignored us, as they fed and played on the forest floor. The golden monkeys were awesome too. These were the most colorful monkeys we have ever seen!
So altogether, this was another great safari with Dancing Zebra, and I would recommend them for your first safari, or your 10th! And for us, our 10th safari is already booked for Zambia next May.

Best Experience Ever!!!
We had an amazing experience with Tourgy Tourz, and I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip! From beginning to end, everything was smooth and well organized. Emmah is fantastic — she planned the trip just the way we wanted and recommended great accommodation options we really enjoyed. Everything felt personal and made just for us.
This was our first safari, and we were so glad to have Emmah helping us through the whole process. Even when we had a stressful flight delay at the end of our trip, she quickly arranged a place for us to stay and made sure we were okay. We truly felt taken care of the whole time.
A huge highlight of our trip was Lindo, one of the guides from a partner company that works with Emmah. He took exceptional care of us during our time in Kruger Park and generally cared that we would have the best time. He was knowledgeable, attentive, fun to be around, and went above and beyond to make sure our first safari experience was unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide, thank you Lindo, we left Kruger with the biggest smiles on our faces, just like you promised.
Thank you, Tourgy Tourz, for a trip we will never forget 🦒🐘🐒🐆💕

More knowing that Jesus
What a life! Had a blast with badger adventures! We booked a four day all inclusive safari experience, but the memories will last forever. It was suuuuper good, and the driver was amazing, no luck needed because he knew all the right spots and helped us see all the animals we had dreamt of! 10/10 would recommend

Excellent experience! Wonderful service!
We booked our safari with Kale Voyage Safaris. It was fantastic!!
We were last minute in booking but after a quick conversation with Oscar, he found us a group to join with! Oscar came to our hotel the night before to give us a briefing and some important information for our safari. He answered all our questions and explained all the logistics!
We did a 4-day safari including Tarangire, Seregenti, and Ngorongoro crater. It was spectacular! We saw everything we had hoped for and more!
Tarangire had a ton of elephants, zebra, wildebeests, and we even managed to get front row seats to some leopard action! The overall scenery in Tarangire is beautiful as well! It was well worth it!!
Serengeti was wonderful with so many animals and especially large prides of lions!
The highlight was all the wildlife that visited the Ngorongoro rim campsite (Simba A) It was spectacular! Zebras, water buck, buffalos, and even an elephant all in the campsite!!!! Incredible!!
The food was great and plentiful!! Shabani was a fantastic driver! He found all animals and shared his wealth of knowledge with the group. Oscar checked in on us throughout the safari to ensure everything was going as planned.
We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Oscar and Kale Safaris!!! We look forward to doing another safari with them in the future! Asante sana!!

The safari tour operator was outstanding—energetic, expert, and made every moment unforgettable!
Our safari experience was absolutely exceptional, thanks to Richard, our outstanding driver and guide. From the very first moment, he impressed us with his professionalism, warm personality, and deep knowledge of the wildlife and landscape. He had an incredible ability to spot animals from great distances and always positioned the vehicle perfectly so we could enjoy the best views and take amazing photos.
What truly set him apart was his passion for nature and his respect for the animals. He explained every detail with patience and enthusiasm, turning each encounter into a meaningful and unforgettable moment. We always felt safe, well taken care of, and completely inspired by his expertise.
Thanks to him, we experienced more than just a safari — we experienced the beauty, excitement, and magic of the wilderness in the best possible way. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari.

Best safary ever!
I really didn't expect to get this...
The accommodation - quiet, peaceful, clean, natural place in nature, polite staff, always smiling.. and the food was incredibly delicious. Safari - in less than two days we saw everything we wanted, and even more.. monkeys, lions, zebras, crocodiles, hippos, wild dog, hyenas, elephants, wildebeest, buffalo, Pumba, and impalas and giraffes were on every corner.. we saw at least 50 giraffes. And last but not least. We had an awesome guide. If you want a good experience, ask for Michael. He told us so many things that it was like I read an encyclopedia. In two days I learned from him, not only about the animals, but also about life, people, customs in Tanzania.
It was an experience I will never forget.
I really didn't expect this!
