Holiday of a lifetime courtesy of an amazing tour operator.
Africa Incoming were fantastic to deal with from planning the trip to taking us around. Super friendly staff who are so responsive to the needs of your group. We were a group of three couples who wanted to experience Johannesburg, Kruger and Cape Town and the itinerary was perfect.
The accommodations booked were great, the pick-ups and transfers were on time and friendly and the safari experience was truly amazing. We couldn't have wished for more, it was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Great team
My wife and I actually did the Kilimanjaro climb with the Benson Safaris guides and crew. They set up amazing VIP accommodations for us throughout the whole multi-day hike. It was an amazing accomplishment for my wife and me, and we would have not been able to do it without their support and guidance. Their pace and suggestions helped with preventing high altitude sickness, and we finished the summitting with a very touching celebration from the whole team. We will miss these hard working guys a lot, but we are planning on doing the safari part with them as well soon.

Jemimah was amazing.
Jemimah was very sweet and attentive with me before and during the tour and always either answered my calls or would call me back as soon as she could. She would sometimes even call and message me on her own to check in with me. I really enjoyed talking to her and she is a great person overall.

Friendly and Efficient.
We had a great experience using OnlyOne Africa for our safari in Kenya this September. From the beginning, all the staff, but particularly Chunyi and Cherry were great with advice and suggestions and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were put in touch with our guide, Anthony, prior to landing at JKIA and this meant a seamless arrival experience. As for Anthony, he was a wonderful guide; patient, knowledgeable, fun and a safe and entertaining driver on our long journeys. We had an unforgettable trip and would highly recommend OnlyOne Africa to anyone looking to travel in Kenya on safari.

Once in a lifetime safari
We had a great time during our safari with Benson Safaris. From the very beginning Fortune was helpful and attentive, helping us to design our itinerary and adjust it to our budget and preferences.
We did a cross country safari and had two guides, Edmund in Kenya and Carlos in Tanzania. They both were kind, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to make our trip memorable. They have different personalities, naturally, but share the same sense of commitment and love for their work. I will always remember this experience and will be grateful to them for it.

Outstanding Safari provider
Our trip with Safari by Z was the absolute best we could have hoped for. We booked a mid-luxury cultural safari and upgraded a few lodges - they all felt like 5 star accomodations and the staff made you feel like royalty. Mwanaidi and Bashir customized our trip to meet all of our needs, like adding an extra safari day and organizing a half day tour in Mto Wa Mbu because we had extra time before our flight. Payment was simple and straight forward - there were no hidden costs and they were very transparent about the budget. Our tour guide Joe was the real game-changer - he was punctual, knowledgeable, funny, and chill. He took care of every day from start to finish - it was the lowest stress trip we've ever taken. He taught us about all of the animals and the tribes and shared so much about his beautiful country. He knew where to find the animals and always got us up close for amazing photos. Also, the Land Rovers are the real deal boss safari vehicles - they make the whole experience so much cooler. I can't recommend this tour company enough.

Booking our safari was so easy! Reliable company!
From start to finish, MoAfrika tours made our safari experience absolutely amazing. The booking was easy as Ruben responded quickly to inquiries and different lodging options upon request. Once arriving in Africa, we did not have to worry about… basically anything! All transportation rides to and from airports were on time and easy to find. We stayed at Ivory Moon luxury lodge and our experienced guide picked us up for each day’s activity. It was so refreshing to be able to relax knowing we wouldn’t miss out on any activities. What a vacation!

Memorable
We had a good experience during the 5 days serengeti package. The admin Neema was patient and kind enough in replying to our inquiries and requests, even though our booking was made rather last minute. We booked the budget camping option and I must say the itinerary wasn't explained clear enough before the trip and we encountered a few surprises, only finding out after when the trip commenced, that for the 4 nights, only 2 were for camping and the other 2 nights were actually in the lodge. Also the main issue I had beforehand was the 4% surcharge when u pay by credit card, and I'd say is exorbitant , where u could probs spend it on tipping the guide/chef instead as the recommended tip amount per day is by no means little, on top of the package fee, and that this is standard practice for all safaris. So just be aware of these 'hidden' costs.
Other than that, the trip was memorable, and the guide Burton is kind hearted and knowledgeable, and we were able to see many wildlife with ease, and one thing he can further improve on is his engagement and interactions with his guests, with more emphasis on the itinerary details and also more description on the wildlife and their behaviour etc. Another notable mention is the chef Richard, who works tirelessly in each kitchen to make sure we are well fed, and he whips up nice meals too.
Overall, our trip was memorable and the places we visited were amazing enough, esp ngorongoro crater, though we wished to have spent more time in Serengeti as it is way too big.
Logistics, transport transits and accomodations were well organised as well. And most importantly we made priceless connections with other people in our shared group safari tour :)

Great communication, friendly and flexible
We had an amazing experience with Imara Africa Safaris. Everything was well organised, and the safari itself was truly unforgettable.
A special mention to our guide, Edward, who was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and always happy to adapt to what we wanted to see/ needed on particular days. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
The highlight of the trip was witnessing a river crossing. This was an incredible experience that we’ll never forget.
We would definitely recommend Imara Africa Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience!
