Great safari with African Paradise Safari in Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru
Our safari with African Paradise Safari was just great! Our guide was so professional and he knew exactly where to go at all times for us not to miss any of the big 5!
We loved our stay at Miti Mingi Eco Camp as well :) staff there was so kind and nice. Food was also good (buffet).

Very enhoyable and met our expectations.
Southern African Tours were able to design a tour of South Africa and Victoria Falls to meet our desired destinations. Communication was straight forward and our questions were always answered. Craig and/or Shelaigh always attended to any issues during the planning stage. Our safari experience in Kruger National Park was very well organised by Outlook tours. The staff of Outlook Safaris in PretoriusKop Rest Camp, Kruger National Park were A+ in all areas and our activities were outstanding.Wild Horizons organised a wonderful itinerary in Victoria Falls the visit to Chobe National Park was excellent.
Our favourite places in and around Cape Town were Cape of Good Hope, the Peninsula, the seal colony, penguin colony at Boulders, the vineyards and Kirstenbosch gardens. Gerry our tour guide in Cape Town was a wealth of information and a true gentleman.

Great safari in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli
We did the 6 days Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli Safari. Okoa Africa Tours is a reliable tour operator. The safari was exactly as written in the itinary. The budget tent camps are clean and comfortable. Our driver Gibson was great, he really did his best to show us everything (and we did).

Very knowledgeable and friendly service
The communication was transparent and clear. There could have been more details about the Rhino lodge and what to expect. I appreciated Mega Wild letting the lodge know of my special diet although the lodge wasn’t consistent about the amount of salt they used. The tour was great. My guide was persistent in seeking more animals through communications with other guides and the Park.

Good service - more reasonably priced than high luxury
We traveled to Tanzania on Safari planned by Wayfairer travel. We used one private guide to visit three camps plus the Ngorongoro crater. Our experience was excellent. We loved our choice to have one guide and drive through the country. Wayfairer was helpful and worked with us on price. One thing I wish they had done was to let us know at the time of booking that we would need to visit a travel specialist doctor to get vaccinations. We didn't receive that information until 6 weeks before our trip and we were out of the country for business much of that time. It made our immunization visit more stressful than necessary. We loved this once in a lifetime trip and would absolutely recommend Wayfairer.

Wonderful tour of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi
We did a 15 day trip to Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi with Augustine Tours. The itinerary was excellent, the hotels well thought out with choices and the trip moved very smoothly. We had the same driver, Eugene, for the 12 days in Uganda and Rwanda. He really made the trip because he was so courteous, and looked after the little things. Like he cleaned the car (which was in great shape and had A/C) every night! We set a plan each evening for the next day and he was always ready early. Travel in those countries is not easy but he was great at finding restaurants and bathrooms that were clean, and he was good at suggesting changes to the itinerary if we were short on time.
Augustin was great at answering questions and staying in touch before and during the trip. If I did it over again I would cut one day from Burundi because that country does not have good museums that we saw and the best thing were the Gishora Drum sanctuary. We had a different driver in Burundi but same car and we did not connect as well but he also did a good job.
I would certainly recommend Augustine Tours for those Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. We also book a week in Tanzania with them but they outsourced it to another Safari company BMS Safari. That part did not work out and I wish Augustine Tours would have told me they were outsourcing it and I would have selected another tour operator. During the difficulties in Tanzania which related to a bad vehicle and driver/ guide that did not speak English, Augustin followed up with me via email and contacted the safari company ( unfortunately no positive outcome resulted) but he assured me he will find another vendor for Tanzania.

Absolutely wonderful and enjoyable
I thought the safari was great and seeing so many animals was wonderful. Camp Bastion was nice although it would have been nice to have a bit more free time there so we could use the pool and have a relax.
The only negative is that it is a long drive- nothing can be done about this but it was tiring.

The safari was a fun experience but communication was difficult.
Overall experience was nice, food was average, tour guide was knowledgeable. A variety of experiences was challenges but was rewarding. The most difficult time was the beginning process with making final payment and change in safari package which caused an extra day stay. This was inconvenient and conflicted with other schedules. There was no insurance, warning of roads and safety. Driving up the mountain with no guard rails and the driver was driving fast and sometimes cloudy and raining.
