Has a deep knowledge on the destination, providing authentic experiences.exels in customer service!!
Indians are the most difficult travellers to handle but Charles Safaris guided our vacation so well that we fell in love with the destination . Pre tour services wherein we discussed the itinerary , quotes, and on tour challenges were handled to our satisfaction. on landing he took command giving us a brief of dos and donts which was very important . the urge to show us the country was amazing!! and finally the land of the Mara and the eargerness to show us the flora & fauna !!! The most important interaction with locals which was enlightening in regards to the country , politics, religion & education.
Charles Safaris !! Good To Go !!

Good at assessing your requirement and then delivering...
This is the second time we used Go Self-Drive to help organise out trip to Zambia, Botswana, and SA. Right from early planning stage (almost 10 months before our travel dates in Oct 2025) till the very end of the our trip. We were a group of six so accommodating our diverse interests was at times a bit challenging, but Alette was unfailing responsive to our preferences and remained actively involved and supportive (and who we eventually met in Knysna, which was nice) throughout the process. We had a few hiccups but nothing major and these were sorted out without any fuss.
Basically this travel agency is very experienced in arranging trips in this part of world and I have no hesitation in recommending them (and look forward to using their services in the future).
Thank you Alette for everything.

Excellent safari company
We had a fantastic Safari with Top Selected Tours. Our guide Dominician was outstanding and very knowledgeable, with an obvious passion for wildlife and the national parks in Tanzania. When planning our Safari, the team was very responsive and helpful. They were patient with all our ideas for the trip and the changes I kept making. His recommendations for camps to stay at turned out to be excellent.
We explored Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, and Makuyuni National Park, and each destination offered something unique and unforgettable. I didn’t want to always be around herds of other Jeeps, and Dominician made sure we experienced the parks in a more peaceful and authentic way. He genuinely cares about providing the best Safari experience possible.
Dominician was hard-working, the Jeep was comfortable, and he took great care to make sure all our bookings were exactly as we requested.
Highly recommended!

The animals are great, people are nice, tours are ok
The only advantage of an all-inclusive tour group is that you don't have to arrange everything yourself, but that’s the only good.
As an average daily itinerary of 200usd, with buses still being used between cities, the hotel in Nairobi is very old and dirty. This is obviously not worth it at all.
And almost every day, people in the car were changing. They try to fill the entire vehicle as much as possible. So you need to wait sometimes.
The worst part is that the plan is fixed. Even if there are no animals in this place at this season, we still can't change anything.
Although traveling independently in Kenya is not that easy, I would definitely choose to travel independently next time.

“More than a guide, a brother who made our safari an unforgettable experience.”
An unforgettable experience — 10/10 safari
We went on a safari through Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara, and from the very first moment Benja made the trip truly extraordinary. His communication was flawless — always attentive, clear, and fluent in both English and Spanish, which made everything smooth and enjoyable.
The service was exceptional, far beyond our expectations. Every detail was perfectly organized: from the itinerary planning to the best stops for spotting wildlife. You could feel Benja’s passion and experience in every explanation, always eager to share his knowledge about the animals and local culture.
The value for money was unbeatable. We enjoyed a personalized, authentic experience — never rushed, never crowded — just pure adventure and connection with Africa. Benja was reliable, punctual, and always smiling, which made us feel completely safe and cared for.
Thanks to him, the trip was much more than just a safari — it felt like exploring Africa with a great friend by our side. We would recommend Benja to anyone wanting to experience the real Africa.

African Traits is an outstanding tour operator, offering excellent service and great value for money
Our Family Experience with African Traits:
Traveling as a family with two adult sons, we had an exceptional experience with African Traits from start to finish. During the booking process, the team paid close attention to our individual wishes, implementing every requested adjustment promptly and transparently. Even the price changes resulting from these modifications were clearly explained and entirely reasonable.
The support we received was outstanding—not only during booking but also throughout the preparation phase. From detailed packing lists to practical tips and helpful insights, everything was thoughtfully provided. Upon arrival, everything worked exactly as promised. We were met at the airport in the middle of the night, and our safari guide was phenomenal—highly experienced and eager to show us everything we hoped to see.
The accommodations exceeded expectations, matching or surpassing what was shown in the photos. The hotel in Zanzibar was simply amazing. African Traits had been recommended to us by friends, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to others as well. Special thanks to the entire team, especially Godfrey for his excellent support and Benjamin for an unforgettable safari experience. This was truly a remarkable and unique vacation.
