Fast point to point shuttle service
4/5

Thomas drove us to Hazyview from OR Tambo. The ride was quick and communication clear. Nice scenery along the way.

Amazing experience with an attentive team
5/5

My experience with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris have been great. Derick was very thorough in answering any question I had and very flezile in accommodating my requests. Even though I booked a shared tour, I was still able to change my itinerary to a certain degree (I added 1 more night in Serengeti and had a mix of budget and mid-rang accommodation depending on the location). The guides I went with were all amazing, especially Nestory who is very experienced, so I was able to see a lot of unique moments while doing the safaris. (We even saw an impala giving birth!)

Despite the fact that it was the low season and the political situation that led a lot of people to canceled and thus resulting in some adjustments during the tour, the company is always communicative and responsive. That made me feel extra safe as a female solo traveler.

Incredible support from before we booked until the end. Great communication and transparency
5/5

From the moment we began planning our trip to the Serengeti, we had several questions and considerations. Getting in touch with Shayona was very quick and easy — their communication was prompt, clear, and genuinely helpful. They guided us through every choice, ensuring the itinerary perfectly matched our needs. The booking process was seamless, and their consistent updates gave us complete peace of mind before and during the trip.

We were incredibly lucky to have the best guides for our safari — punctual, professional, and a lot of fun to spend time with. Their knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes made game drives super exciting. Even after hours in the vehicle, we were engrossed throughout. Thanks to their expertise and keen eyes, we spotted an impressive variety of animals and birds — truly the highlight of our journey. The safari vehicle itself was spotless, well-maintained, and surprisingly comfortable, even during long drives.
You could tell that every detail had been thought through to enhance our comfort and safety. Theres cold water and soft drinks in the vehicle as well.

Shayona Safaris took care of absolutely everything over the three days — from logistics to accommodations to meals — so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. That sense of ease and trust made a huge difference, especially for a group visiting the region for the first time. Every dollar we spent felt completely worth it. We came away with some crazy memories and cannot recommend Shayona Safaris highly enough to anyone planning a Serengeti adventure.

Outstanding Crew, Zero Glitches — Highly Recommend Nafika
5/5

Had an amazing experience with my Nafika crew of 7, led by our guide Max. Everyone was incredibly positive, motivating, and genuinely caring throughout the trek. They checked in on our health regularly and always made safety the top priority. From pick-up to drop-off, everything ran smoothly — not a single hiccup. Highly recommend Nafika!

We had a great time. The guide was knowledgeable, helpful and generous with his information.
5/5

We had a great time on safari with the private guide arranged by Firefinch. Firefinch was professional, made everything easy and was flexible when I messed up my flights. We enjoyed the experience so much. It was important for us to use a local operator that booked with local guides and vendors in Namibia. We also appreciated that in a less busy season, we were able to see so many animals and have an authentic time in Namibia.

The Lemosho Route climb exceeded our expectations in every way
5/5

Our 8-day Lemosho Route Climb was a wonderful opportunity to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with our companions from India and family members from the United States of America.
The Sales Team supports a high level of responsiveness to customers' needs during the booking process. We felt an immediate connection with the Aardvark Expeditions Limited because of the quick response times and open and honest communication etc.
Our head guide, Fred and assistant guide Bariki were excellent leaders who provided good guidance and concern for all climbers throughout the entire Kilimanjaro Trek. They kept climbers safe, happy and comfortable throughout each stage of the trek.
We reached the summit of Kilimanjaro with a sense of accomplishment, confidence and pride. For us, this climb was about the journey and the people who helped us along the way to reach the summit. We highly recommend this team to anyone looking to climb Kilimanjaro.

They were able to accommodate all of our requests
5/5

My Mom and I had a short amount of time and we wanted to go to Hwange National Park. Ideally, we wanted to do a full day safari, a night safari, and an early morning safari. It was recommended that we spread that out over more days, but as we didn't have time, they were able to make it all happen. We saw animals on each drive (which they weren't expecting). The only downside was that we didn't have a lot of time to hang out at the beautiful lodge that was hosting us. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating to ensure we had a great time.

Exceeds Expectations
5/5

I was booked for a 2-week tour in South Africa starting in late September and decided to add a short trip to Kenya on the front end to try and catch some of the Great Migration. I arranged a 4-day 3-night custom trip with Peter at Africa Flash McTours and convinced one of the friends traveling on the South Africa portion to join me in Kenya. It far exceeded our expectations. We were driven to the airport in Nairobi and took a short flight to an airstrip in the Masai Mara. We quickly connected with our private driver, Felix, and we were on our way with our first safari. We started seeing animals within 5 minutes of starting the drive. Felix spent the next couple hours driving us around as we got oriented to the new landscape and all it had to offer. As we neared lunchtime, he drove to the lodge (Soroi Luxury Migration Camp) which was a new small lodge (holds < 20 visitors) only a couple years old and situated on a river. The tents were roomy and well-appointed with king size beds as well as a separate room with a desk and single bed, en suite facilities, a large viewing window overlooking the river, and a spacious verandah with comfortable chairs to sit in and enjoy the neighboring wildlife. The food was amazing and the overall service impeccable. Besides the daily safaris, I also had Peter include an early morning Hot Air Balloon ride over the savannah, and a Sundowner one evening. Both were really worth the money. The balloon ride gives you a unique perspective of the area with a bird’s eye view of groups of migrating animals, herds of antelope, and elephants feeding by the river. It was followed by a buffet champagne breakfast in the bush where a huge nearby herd of zebras ignored us and eventually surrounded us (in a good way!). For the sundowner I thought we’d get 2 chairs, 2 glasses, and a bottle of wine. We got MUCH more with fresh cooked appetizers and a bartender tending a mini bar to provide us with refreshments while we watched the sunset. We did a LOT in those few days, and it was incredible. We even managed to see the Big Five and some herds of Cape Buffalo/Wildebeest/Zebras of the end of the 2025 Great Migration.
When I decided on going to Kenya, I made a short list of what I was looking for in a camp and activities and sent emails to several of the smaller local operators. I chose Africa Flash McTours for their competitive price, willingness to modify as needed, and the fantastic responsiveness considering the 9-hour time difference. I was not disappointed. Truly an amazing trip.

An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari with Predators Safari Club
5/5

My husband and I booked a 10-day safari through Tanzania with Predators Safari Club, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. Our itinerary included Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and both the Northern and Southern Serengeti—an incredible and perfectly balanced journey.
We booked directly with Predators Safari Club and worked with Hussein during the planning process. From start to finish, Hussein was extremely helpful, responsive, and patient. The entire booking process was smooth, and he was always willing to explore options and availability to help us create the perfect itinerary and accommodations for our honeymoon.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted by our amazing guide, Thomas—and we honestly could not have been luckier. Thomas was exceptional in every way: incredibly knowledgeable, kind, friendly, professional, and well prepared. Throughout the safari, we always felt safe and confident in his care. He consistently positioned us perfectly for wildlife sightings, and his animal-spotting skills were nothing short of extraordinary. We were blown away by his deep knowledge of the national parks and the many species that call them home.
We spent a lot of time driving between parks, and we genuinely loved every moment with Thomas. He was wonderful company, and we truly enjoyed getting to know him, hearing about his life, and learning so much from him along the way.
The entire experience was seamless and exceeded our expectations. The vehicle was excellent, the service was outstanding, and we felt incredibly well cared for throughout the entire trip. This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we loved every single second.
We cannot recommend Predators Safari Club highly enough. Thank you to Hussein, Predators Safari Club, and especially Thomas for making our honeymoon absolutely unforgettable! We cannot wait to be back one day! With gratitude - Brianna & Jonny

The staff at Mdluli Game Lodge made this such and amazing experience and the lodge was fabulous!
5/5

The Mdluli Game Lodge is inside Kruger and has a private area only accessible by their staff. The drivers were very personable and knowledgeable about the animals. We were there in Spring (November) and while this made everything green and more lush (and harder to see distance), the animals were very active and we got to see them all close up. One morning, we had up close experiences with 4 of the big 5 (everything but the Rhino), usually with just our truck. The lodge was beautiful and exceptional value for the price. We also loved that the lodge supported the Mdluli tribe instead of a hotel chain or corporation.
