Amazing safari experience in Mikumi National Park
On May 23rd and 24th, our group of six students went on a safari trip to Mikumi National Park, and it was truly unforgettable. We were picked up in Dar es Salaam at 6:00 AM and had a smooth five-hour drive to the park. Everything was well-organized and on time, and we were able to enter the park right away without any delays.
Our driver was very attentive and flexible — he really listened to what we wanted to see. Every time we spotted a bird or animal and wanted a closer look, he would happily stop and wait.
The organization of the entire trip was excellent, and the timing was perfect. The safari itself was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we’re all very grateful to have shared it together.
I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a well-run and memorable safari adventure!

The best guide that you could hope for one of the most memorable trips of your life
We had the best experience that we could have hoped for our trip to Uganda and Rwanda.
Unlike normal travel agencies, Bush Wanders was very responsive to every little request that we had. No extra fees, not making it a big deal. Our guide, Amos, was the sweetest and yet so professional during the whole trip, trying his best to make our trip memorable. Thanks to him and the company, we had one of the best trips that we’ve had in Africa.
Very reliable service, we had so much fun driving around and doing the gorilla trekking. Every dollar that we spent was worth it.
They took care of literally everything so we didn’t need to worry about a thing during the whole trip.

Informative, personable and engaging.
From the get go, we have been at ease with the abundance of preparation that was organised for us from the taxi from the airport, to the room that was kindly booked for us to simply shower and ready ourselves for the return flight.
We were well entertained, well fed, and well informed on the animals. Not once did we feel like we were with a safari guide, we felt we were on a great adventure with a new found friend.
Value for money, for me you can’t put a price on the quality of the experience we had, but yes worth every penny and more.
Not once did we have any second to doubt anything about the safari, the service or our guide, Eli was so welcoming from the get go.
No doubt you’d be comparing safari companies and tours, but I can assure you that the time we spent on this experience is incomparable, apples and oranges. Night and day.
I can’t stress enough how amazing and unforgettable this safari trip was, thanks to Eli and ‘the belly doctor’

Nature Travel Namibia was very responsive during the planning process and we loved Buzzy our guide
This wasn’t our first trip to Africa, where we lived and worked there most of our adult lives, but never made it to Namibia or Botswana. So, we looked for help from a local agency and Nature Travel has great reviews. Note that this review has not much new to add but can confirm that Petra is very patient and responsive. She helped us to put the Namibia and Botswana trips together within our time and budget restrictions. Between the 2 countries we arranged our own flights (with mileage points) to Zimbabwe to visit the Victoria Falls.
Our Namibia experience was mostly limited to “National parks” which have their own rules and restrictions, which means no roaming of the roads to get closer to animals or other points of interests. In Botswana we chose private camps which allowed us to see some wildlife, including the wild dogs, cheetah and leopard, very close-up.
Whereas the “big five” are a hit or, for some, a must on a trip to Africa, we also enjoy the small stuff or the tall stuff, such as the giraffe. Buzzy, our driver and guide in Namibia, knows his small stuff and we saw more birds than I ever will be able to memorize the names of. During one afternoon drive (between Swakopmund and Solitaire) he made a sudden stop and U-turn to pick up, and show us, a chameleon he had spotted on the side of the road while driving 80 km/hour. Minutes later he did the same for a very deathly scorpion. He identified both by their first and last names (or rather their Latin names😉). This is just to say that with Buzzy there was never a dull moment.
We had made our own arrangements getting to Windhoek and Victoria Falls. All other transfers, made by Petra, went very smoothly. We especially enjoyed the Botswana small Cessna flights. In Botswana we also enjoyed some “drives” by boat, some the size of a large kayak.

Our safari experience was absolutely fantastic
Our safari experience was absolutely fantastic – I highly recommend booking with Galilaya. From the moment we arrived, Emiliana made everything incredibly easy. She met us for a detailed briefing, and throughout the trip, she was responsive, and always on hand to help.
Our guide Philis, was a real highlight, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife. Since you spend a lot of time with your guide, it made such a difference that he was not only a great driver (even on the wildest roads!) but also knew all the insider tips on where to find the animals.
Each of the three accommodations we stayed at were beautiful, with staff who consistently went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The Serengeti itself is a breathtaking, unforgettable experience – made even better by being in such good hands.

The best service ever! We loved the jeep drivers andsafari outings 200%.
Every aspect of our experience was top rate. Jeep drivers were always on time, full of great information and provided usa safari beyond our expectations. The lodge was superior and the restaurant food was truly the finest we have had in our several years of bringing safari groups to Masai Mara. We will always return to Leopard Orchid Safaris.

It was a very incredible tour, full of information. The guide was a good driver, shared a lot of knowledge, was very charismatic and friendly.
The safari was well structured and safe. Unfortunately, I didn't see all the big 5, but I still saw incredible and magical things.

Very attentive
We went on a multi-level safari, from a trail to an incredible waterfall, parks with physical contact with animals, including lions, safaris with cultural immersion, explanations about the animals' routines, and migrations within the Seringueti. We slept in camps equipped with excellent infrastructure. During the night we heard lions roaring and hyenas walking around our tent. I took more than 6,000 professional photos. The guide understood our needs and helped me a lot by placing the Jeep in the best position for photos and videos. It was an incredible 19 days for my wife and I. Thank you Mr. Joseph and Mr. Living for the memorable story.

Responsive. Attentive. Provides great service and quality accommodations. Highly recommended.
We took the 3 day Rwanda Gorilla Trek and the 3 day Akagera National Park tour. Our guide was Smith for both. Elvis was a pleasure to deal with, and Smith was attentive to all our needs - he knew all the locals wherever we went, and made sure that our needs and desires were met. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had excellent experiences while visiting Rwanda. Lulu Safaris arranged for first class treatment on both excursions. The gorilla trek was one of the best experiences of our lives!!! We highly recommend LuLu Safaris.
