He was laid back, funny, go with the flow kind of guy.
Me and my family had an amazing time on this Safari we did in Tanzania! Our tour guide was named Mechy and he was so good. We saw the big 5 all very close up which was awesome. Mech was not only a great tour guide but a really good driver as well, the parks roads are quite rough especially in the Serengeti, and Mech did a very good job making the ride as smooth as possible while still getting around quick. He was so kind to us which made the safari even more enjoyable. We loved our stays at the Nyota Rift Valley, as well as Nyota Serengeti, the staff were great and the resort as well as the rooms were very comfortable. Animals to walk onto the resort at the Serengeti which could be good or bad depending on your personal liking, we had multiple buffalo right outside our room at night while walking back to go to bed, it was a bit frightening because they can be aggressive but we had some of the staff with us and they did an amazing job keeping us safe. So overall would highly recommend booking through lion king and requesting Mechy as your driver! Thank you Lion king and Mechy!!!

Tiko was perfect and the whole organisation was great!
I recently booked a safari with Smile With Us Tours in Africa, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first inquiry, their communication was absolutely incredible—any questions I had were answered within minutes, making the entire planning process completely stress-free.
The overall organization of the safari was superb. Every single detail, from the airport pickups to the daily game drives and accommodations, was perfectly synchronized. Everything went incredibly smoothly without a single hitch. If you are looking for a reliable, highly responsive, and professional team to organize an unforgettable African safari, Smile With Us Tours is definitely the perfect choice!

Unique experience for life!!
Our Safari with the Get Together Adventures was absolutely spectacular. We saw the Great 5 (yes, including a couple of leopards and rhinos and many, many, many lions and elephants), the Ugly 5 and the Great Migration crossing beginning-to-end. Our guide Joseph was awesome - doing his very best to make sure we experienced the best safari possible (chasing the Migration crossing was especially challenging) and he was also explaining everything throughout our journey so we had a peace of mind all the time.
Full 5 stars to Jospeh and the Get Together Adventures!

We had an amazing experience with our guide, Charles. He was caring, attentive, and always did his very best to help us see as many animals as possible. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife throughout the safari.
Charles is very knowledgeable and explained everything in excellent English, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. He shared a lot of interesting information about the animals, their behavior, and the parks.
He was also very responsive to our needs. When one member of our group became ill, Charles immediately helped arrange transportation to the hospital and made sure everything was taken care of. We really appreciated his kindness and support.
He is proactive, drives confidently and efficiently, and always knew where to go to maximize our wildlife sightings. We highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and caring safari guide.

Outstanding guide! Knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and a pleasure to travel with.
An unforgettable South African experience!
Our journey through South Africa exceeded every expectation. The breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, rich culture, warm and welcoming people, delicious food, and outstanding hospitality made every moment special. Every destination had its own unique charm, making the entire trip truly unforgettable.
What made the experience even more meaningful was our exceptional guide, Faldie van Wyk. His extensive knowledge, passion for South Africa, and ability to explain the history, culture, and significance of every place brought each destination to life. He patiently answered every question, was always friendly and helpful, and made us feel like family rather than tourists. By the end of the tour, he had become more than just a guide—he had become a friend.
Thank you, Faldie, for making this journey so meaningful and memorable. If you’re planning a trip to South Africa, you’re in for an incredible experience—and if you have Faldie as your guide, it will be truly exceptional. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Experience
We had an amazing 9-day tour that covered Kibale, Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth NP, and lake Mburo and wish we were still in Uganda. We chose African Sacred Ibis Adventures because they were the most flexible when it came to our concerns with the concelled flights. They also had the quickest detailed responses out of the companies I contacted. We changed our plans several times and each time they were able to provide a detailed, customized itinerary. We had such a great time, we even added an extra day at the end of the trip to see more. Isabellah was able to quickly add that extra day at the last minute. We booked the mid-range package but all the lodges felt like high range accomodations. The lodges were clean and comfortable with each one having a unique location and view. The food was delicious and there was always a vegetarian option. The beautiful wildlife and landscapes were obviously the highlight, but our guide Rashid was a close second. He was the perfect mix of knowledgable, fun, and quiet on the long the car rides, he navigated rough roads with ease, and always worked his hardest to get us the best experiences possible. It was very clear that he takes great pride in his work and is an exellent reflection of the company he works for. We are already thinking about planning our next Safari and will definately request for Rashid to guide us. I would highly reccomend booking with this company.

Our tour guide Julius was amazing he was very knowledgeable, kind, experienced, and really cared about making our experience great!! Company is very professional from start to finish vehicle was nice and clean and got cleaned out everyday if you’re on the fence about this company don’t be trust me you will be happy you choose them!! Also in my opinion was very reasonable pricing!!
What an amazing experience!!!
Wow what an experience! Everything ran very smoothly in terms of communication and pick-ups, and our tour operator Bernard was knowledgeable and good company. We were also so impressed by the quality of accommodations, they were so much more luxe than we were expecting! And great food!! Overall we were so happy with our choice of operator, and would re-book with them for sure if we were fortunate enough to come back.

Absolutely Amazing
We were introduced to Daniel through our son who lives in Nairobi. Daniel and Trans Trek exceeded any expectations we had going into this holiday and we ended up having the trip of a lifetime. Daniel contacted us immediately after we reached out and we gave him a general sense of what we had been thinking about. He put together a fabulous itinerary for us and gave us three options for accommodation at each location/park. He encouraged us to go on the individual websites to get a sense of the vibe/atmosphere of each as he said each of the camps offered something different. Each had their own personality and features and he wanted us to see which ones were a good fit for what we were looking for. We found this very helpful to read other reviews as well as looking at what others had experienced. Our driver/guide, Peter, was with us for the whole trip which was amazing. Peter has unbelievable spotting ability … he’s not only an excellent guide with an uncanny ability for spotting wildlife but he is also a lovely human being with a great sense of humour! Daniel was so clear in his recommendations and we were actually surprised at how good value the whole trip was, especially given the level of camps we selected, the tent accommodation, the food we ate and the service we received. His good and insightful advice was invaluable. Thanks so much.
