AMAZING
There are 3 things we wish we knew before going on the safari. First is that the drive there and back in 6 hours each. You do have 2 stops each way so you can go to the toilet, buy some water or suveniers and stretch your legs but still be prepared to be sitting for 6 hours. Second is that in Masai Mara you can only pay with cash. They do take schilings, USD or EUR, but just have some cash ready for some extra water or drinks and other activities if you do want to add them to your trip. And the third is that the second day when you go to the safari there is only bush toilet, which is not a problem just be prepared.
Other than that our safari trip was AMAZING! Our guide was Patrik and he was brillinat! He really made sure that we enjoyed our trip and gave us so many amazing facts about Masai Mara and the animals. We got to see all the big 5 and sooo many more. He also made sure to get as close as possible to the animals so we really had an amazing experience! Thank you fot everyhing and we REALLY DO RECOMMEND YOU BOOK WITH THEM! ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET PATRIK AS YOUR GUIDE!

An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari!
My wife and I booked a 3-day fly-in safari from Zanzibar with Mountain Warrior Tours and Safaris, visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire as part of our honeymoon. What an incredible experience!
From my first enquiry, Evaline was fantastic. So helpful, attentive and professional, tailoring everything to what we wanted without ever being pushy.
Our guide Augustine was an absolute star! Friendly, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. We had some great conversations throughout, and his ability to spot wildlife was amazing. We saw all of the Big Five, including a rhino, leopard and prides of lions, plus an extremely rare sighting of a cheetah with her three cubs! His knowledge of the animals made the experience even more special.
A huge shout-out to Warriors Luxury Tented Lodge in the Serengeti! What an incredible place! Hearing wildlife outside our luxury tent at night was unforgettable. The staff were amazing, singing for us and decorating our room for our honeymoon. Such a warm welcome and fantastic food. We honestly wished we'd stayed longer! Our next mountain lodge near Ngorongoro Crater was also lovely, welcoming and comfortable, but Warriors Luxury Tented Lodge was definitely our favourite!
Everything was perfectly organised, from flights and transport to all meals, drinks and delicious lunches along the way.
We made memories we'll treasure forever. Cannot recommend this company enough! A massive thank you to Evaline, Augustine and all the wonderful staff for making our honeymoon so special!

Very professional and organized
Our first safari in Africa was a blast! Everything went very smoothly, from the pick up from the hotel to the accommodations and return to Nairobi as well as everything in between. Our guide Tom was excellent, a very kind and knowledgeable guide who answered all questions and showed us around perfectly!

Considerate
The safari of a lifetime is exactly how I would describe this experience; from elephants and lions on land to hippos and crocodiles in water we saw it all and I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide - Diana is the absolute perfect person for the job - she is adaptable, caring and passionate so I thank her for making it an experience that’s worth a lifetime. One piece of advice I would have for anyone is just do it and you won’t regret it♥️🐘

Five day Kruger Safari
I booked a five-day fly-in Safari with Mo Africa. My booking agent, Rishen, was extremely prompt and available for all the queries and support which made my trip stress less!
On the first day itself, during sunset safari, we saw a pair of lionesses from about 3 metres. Second and fourth day, we did a full day Kruger safari, and saw all big-five. We saw multiple large heards of elephants. Panorama drive on the third way was also super cool. I’m a geomorphologist and I was in heaven! Potholes, river gorges, full topography from the “God’s Window”, all were breathtaking.
I thank Rishen again for making it all possible. I will definitely book again with Mo Safari for my other African adventures if they have people like Rishen.

Excellent safari experience !
Safari was amazing, went with a group of friends and did a 5 day trip and got to see a lot of different place and the animals. We also got to meet the Maasai.
Samora is really helpful, answering fast and able to adjust our itinerary for our needs.
Our guide Regnald is really kind, helpful and funny. He’s also a very good driver! We felt safe the whole time.
We also booked the glamping tents which was very lux! Staff on every lodge is so kind people.
We had a great time!

Wonderful safari thanks to African Ubuntu Safaris
Our travel agent suggested African Ubuntu Safaris and we're really glad he did. Right from the word go, we had a good feeling about Ubuntu. Paul, Ubuntu's representative in Australia, was very easy to deal with. Most importantly, he LISTENED to us with respect to what we wanted out of a safari. He was also able to use his own wealth of experience to change our minds about certain parks. For example, we didn't want to go to Amboseli but Paul convinced us it would be worthwhile, and it certainly was.
Paul provided a tentative itinerary promptly and was happy to work with us to refine the finished product. We were especially happy that he helped us see the benefit of having a personal driver/guide, as opposed to being part of a group. This decision made our safari a great success.
The two guides we had (one for Kenya, one for Tanzania) were fantastic: friendly, very knowledgeable, and accommodating.
In-country logistics were also handled very smoothly. We highly recommend Ubuntu if you're contemplating a safari.

Botswana Through the Eyes of a Family: A Safari We'll Never Forget
Some holidays fade into photo albums. This one became part of our family story.
From 5 July to 12 July, our family embarked on an extraordinary journey with Nalange Safaris, travelling from Maun through the heart of Botswana's wilderness, across Three Bridges, Chobe and Savuti, before finishing at the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls. We travelled with two families, five children, four adults, with a mix of ages, personalities and energy levels, and yet somehow every day felt effortless, memorable and perfectly tailored.
At the center of it all was our guide, Tabla.
It's difficult to put into words just how much he contributed to our experience. A guide can help you spot animals. Tabla helped us understand Africa.
His knowledge of the bush seemed limitless. He could read the landscape in a way that felt almost instinctive, noticing tracks, sounds and subtle movements that would have gone completely unnoticed by us. Every sighting came with a story. Every animal was part of a larger ecosystem that he brought to life with passion and authenticity. Whether we were watching elephants drift silently through the Mopane, listening to lions calling in the distance (and beside us), or laughing at the antics of a family of mongoose, Tabla made each encounter richer and more meaningful.
What impressed us most was his adaptability.
The African bush doesn't run to a schedule, and neither did Tabla. He constantly adjusted to changing conditions, wildlife movements and the needs of our family. Travelling with five children means flexibility is essential, and he somehow managed to create an adventure that was exciting for the adults while remaining engaging, safe and unforgettable for the kids. Nothing ever felt rushed. Nothing ever felt forced. He simply had an incredible ability to make every day better than the last.
And what a week it was.
There were moments when the bush seemed to hold its breath as we sat centermeters away from magnificent wildlife. There were mornings filled with anticipation as the sun rose over landscapes untouched by modern life. There were evenings around the camp reflecting on the day's adventures while a symphony of sounds echoed from the darkness beyond. We experienced Botswana not as spectators, but as guests in one of the world's last truly wild places.
The wildlife encounters were extraordinary. Close enough to feel your heart race, yet always managed with absolute professionalism and safety. Every game drive delivered something different. Every destination had its own personality. From the waterways and floodplains around the Okavango region to the rugged wilderness of Savuti and the wildlife-rich corridors of Chobe, the journey felt like moving through different chapters of an incredible book.
Just as impressive was everything that happened between the game drives.
The food was exceptional. Not "good for the bush" exceptional, but genuinely exceptional. After long days of adventure, we were consistently amazed by the quality, variety and care that went into every meal. The accommodation struck the perfect balance between comfort and authenticity. Clean, safe and welcoming, it allowed us to experience the magic of the wilderness without sacrificing the comforts that make family travel enjoyable.
What Nalange Safaris delivered wasn't simply a holiday.
It was the kind of experience that reconnects you with nature, with your family, and with a sense of wonder that can sometimes get lost in everyday life.
Years from now, I doubt our children will remember every destination name or every species we spotted. What they will remember is the feeling. The excitement of heading out before sunrise. The thrill of seeing wildlife in its natural environment. The campfire conversations. The laughter. The adventure. The stories.
And when they talk about Africa, they will talk about Tabla.
If you are considering a safari, whether as a couple, a group of friends, or a family travelling with children, I cannot recommend Nalange Safaris highly enough. They delivered an experience that was authentic, personal, professional and unforgettable from beginning to end.
Botswana gave us incredible wildlife. Nalange Safaris turned it into the trip of a lifetime.
Five stars feels inadequate. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The true measure of a great safari isn't the animals you see. It's how long the memories stay with you after you've gone home. Ours will last forever."

Highly recommended
If you want to be a responsible tourist, you should book with a local company—Full Package is one such company, and a very good one at that! We went on a 5-day safari, and our guide and driver, Babuu, was truly experienced and patient; he always made sure to position us in the best spots for wildlife viewing and photography. We managed to see the "Big Five" and much more! We started our days very early and would return to the hotel at sunset. He also made sure that vegetarian options were provided for all my meals. We never felt rushed, nor did we feel pressured regarding tips—he didn't even mention them—though we gave him one anyway, as it was well-deserved! Devid, our agent, was quick to respond, accommodated all our requests, and was also very patient. The accommodations provided were of high quality, but I’d like to highlight our stay in the Serengeti at the "Into Wild Africa Luxury Safari Lodge"—it was excellent in every respect. It’s also located along a natural wildlife corridor; at night, lions even came right up to the swimming pool! As for the vehicle, I must admit it was a bit old, but we didn't encounter any issues (we did see several other vehicles with mechanical problems during the safari). I requested quotes from several companies, and I’m so glad I chose this one; they met all our expectations and helped us have a dream vacation!
