At paradise with Kalahari Tours
I spent three days two nights in the paradise that is Chobe National Park, guided by the fantastic and professional team from Kalahari Tours.
Our skillful and sharp guides, Free and Lance, kept us safe and informed every step of the way. The stories shared by them made the entire experience even more fulfilling and memorable.
MP, the wonderful chef, ensured we were well fed with delicious meals, and the thoughtful host, Meshack, made us feel right at home. Every detail was perfectly executed, making the experience truly exceptional.
We explored the park in an open vehicle, surrounded by awe-inspiring wildlife- leopards, giraffes, elephants, lionesses and many more - all watching us as we passed. Our guides gently reminded us to only step out for designated toilets stops, ensuring our safety while allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the wild beauty of Chobe.
It was more than a tour - it was an unforgettable encounter with nature.

Simple and honest company
We did a 4-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. The experience was amazing, though if we were to do it again, we’d definitely spend 3 full days in the Serengeti — the drive is long, but absolutely worth it and deserves more time.
A special mention goes to Elly, who took care of us from the start. He is genuinely honest and kind, and his helpfulness is not driven by expectations of tips, but by a real desire to make sure you have a great experience. That kind of sincerity is rare and truly appreciated.
We would absolutely recommend this company.

The Best Safari Experience
I come with my husband and daughter (11 years old). We’re glad to go with Jungleroam because they are detailed, always make us feel comfortable in long hour drive. They have sharp eyes in spotting wild animals in bushes and savannah and explain well. We managed to see most of the wildlife in game drives! Particularly, we waited for the great migration crossing the river for 4 times and we had the opportunity to capture the best scenes! Thank you Jungleroam for this lifetime experience!

10/10, a fun and safe trip of a lifetime!
We went on an 11 day safari and beach combination trip, which exceeded our expectations! We were a bit nervous to go somewhere so unfamiliar as two women, but the communication and flexibility beforehand with Emmanuel and Naomi was easy and fast and made us comfortable enough to book. They helped us adjust the itinerary to include an extra night upon arrival to adjust, as well as change one of the beach days to an additional safari day, since we were most interested in Serengeti and adding the balloon safari (which is incredible and totally worth it!!!). Only note we would add, is if you go to bring small bills (singles) to tip the people at each stay who handle your luggage for you. Otherwise, we were extremely prepared for each situation we were in!
The accommodations were above and beyond, I kept thinking we booked the luxury when we booked the comfort! Each stay was welcoming, beautiful, and extremely comfortable. The food was incredible, and all the lunches packed to eat on a picnic were amazing and more than enough.
Our guide, Dominik, was fantastic! Very nice and accommodating, knowledgable about each place we went to and each animal we saw, and shared a lot of information which was great. He drove safely, while still managing to find tons of animals to see. We saw the big 5, including watching a leopard climb down a tree and walk around from just a few feet away! I was most excited to see a rhino, and when we did see one, he made sure I had plenty of time to look at it and enjoy the moment. He always made sure we were comfortable and ate enough at every meal.
The Zanzibar portion of our trip was very relaxing. We weren't the biggest fans of Stone Town, but loved the Jozani Forest and the Z Hotel (to each their own!). The staff was kind and easy to communicate with, and the massages at the hotel were phenomenal.
Overall, this experience was better than we could have imagined, and we will be recommending it to everyone we know!

Great planning of the tour & great driver + guide!
It was an absolutely amazing trip!! My husband picked this destination and Serengeti smile as our choice for our tour company. I didn’t do the liaising with the company so I won’t be reviewing that portion (my husband will do that review). I did meet Jonyo when we were first came here and he was very friendly and nice to talk to:) I felt that the trip was overall very well planned - the pace was set well, the lodges were pleasant.
The biggest star of our tour was our driver and tour guide Zack! We could see his sincerity in trying his best to find the best sights of the game drives for us, one of the days, he spent 3 hours past the planned time to help us find rare rhinos. Him going out of his way to help us make this experience unforgettable is truly commendable. His driving skills also STELLAR. Despite the crazy rough roads, he kept us safe from any dangerous situations and we really do appreciate it. His love and knowledge for animals as he shared so much information about them is amazing. We were blessed during this trip and saw so many beautiful and even rare sights (baby cheetahs!!!) and had a blast!! 😄 Zack truly knew where to bring us during the game drives, fantastic experience!!!! We would recommend Zack if you do choose Sergenti Smile :)

Great tour, thank you!
Had a great time on my tour with Serengeti smile in July 2025. Would recommend this tour if looking for a safari holiday in Tanzania.
Jonyo was patient in communication prior to the trip, and was thorough in letting us know our itinerary with regular updates. He helped us fit our itinerary into our requirements and budget.
Zack was a wonderful tour guide and excellent driver. He was patient in looking for animals and was calm in getting us to our destinations on time and looking for the best views for the animals.
Thank you both for making our trip memorable!

Personalized Dream Trip to Cape Town
Melanie planned a dream trip to Cape Town for my sister and I. She worked within our budget, and was flexible based on the off-season variable weather. She was highly communicative, detailed, and extremely helpful in navigating a short but action-packed trip. The itinerary was perfect, accommodations were beautiful, and we'd absolutely use Pembury Tours again. Highly recommend!

Personal, unflappable and thoughtful—Firefinch delivered quality service tailored to our every need
Clive at Firefinch Safaris & Car Hire designed the ultimate 23-day adventure—part bucket list trip, part 20th anniversary celebration, part milestone birthday. From the very beginning, he was patient through many changes and incredibly thoughtful in every detail.
Traveling with my professional photographer husband, we had very specific needs, and Clive delivered at every level: personalized service, expert private guides, seamless logistics, and a beautiful variety of experiences across Namibia, Victoria Falls, and Cape Town. He took the time to truly get to know us, and it showed—every day felt tailored and intentional.
Our first six days in Namibia with our private driver Stefan were a perfect start to the trip. Stefan was extremely knowledgeable about Namibia—its culture, wildlife, and geology—and also a very good photographer in his own right. He was entertaining and navigated long drives and remote terrain with ease. Every need was anticipated before we even voiced it, and every lodge and location reflected the care and quality that defines Firefinch.
Clive is resourceful, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about Southern Africa. He crafted a journey that was both efficient and soulful—a rare feat. We can’t recommend Firefinch highly enough.

An 11-Day Journey of Adventure, Friendship, and Wildlife in Kenya
We are a group of 20 from Malaysia, and after comparing several safari operators, we chose Leopard Orchid Safaris.
Like many others, we were initially concerned about safety in Kenya, but we’re happy to share that it’s safe and absolutely worth visiting!
We went on an 11-day safari, and while the experience was truly incredible, we personally felt that it was a bit too long—a slightly shorter trip might have been ideal. Still, every day was filled with fun, excitement, and unforgettable moments.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing driver and guides: Paul, Lawrence, and Patrick. Throughout our game drives, something special grew between the drivers and our group—a genuine connection built on laughter, shared awe at the wildlife, and great conversations. From strangers on day one to friends by the end, they made our journey not just smooth and safe, but also truly personal and meaningful.
We also appreciated the warm hospitality from James and Sally, who personally welcomed us on the first day and came to meet us again on the last day. Their thoughtful presence made us feel truly valued and well taken care of.
