Unforgettable Trip of a Lifetime with Quagga Topy Safaris!
We just returned from the trip of a lifetime with Quagga Topy Safaris and Tours, and we truly enjoyed every single second of it. As a family, we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara, and the entire experience was beyond anything we could have dreamed. The hotels and food were top quality throughout our journey, making us feel completely taken care of.
A special, heartfelt thanks to our wonderful guide, Ciprian. He was so kind, patient and cheerful, always punctual and with energy to begin the journey. He made it his personal mission to ensure we saw the absolute best of these magnificent parks, and we loved listening to his deep knowledge and amazing stories along the way.
We also visited Arusha National Park with Joseph, a brilliant professional with deep knowledge of the local wildlife.
Thank you, Quagga Topy Safaris, Ciprian and Joseph for making our dream come true—we will never forget this adventure!

10/10 – The trip of a lifetime. Exceptional experience from start to finish!
I travelled solo on DAV Safaris' 7-day Uganda safari, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From my very first enquiry until the end of the trip, the communication was always incredibly fast, friendly and professional. Every question I had was answered promptly, making me feel confident and well prepared before arriving in Uganda.
The itinerary exceeded all my expectations. Of course, the gorilla trekking was an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience and the absolute highlight of the trip. However, I was equally impressed by the beautiful waterfalls, the boat cruise, and the incredible game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we were lucky enough to see an amazing variety of wildlife, incl. the tree climbing lions! Every day offered something unique, making the entire journey exciting and unforgettable. Even the drive-days were good!
One of the reasons I chose DAV Safaris was because ethical wildlife tourism is extremely important to me, and they fully lived up to my expectations. At no point did I feel that animals were being disturbed or exploited for tourism. The experiences always respected nature and wildlife, allowing us to observe animals responsibly in their natural environment. That gave me great peace of mind and made the entire experience even more meaningful.
I was so impressed by their commitment to ethical tourism that when I later asked them for a recommendation for a local tour operator in Zanzibar, they suggested a company that followed exactly the same values. That consistency says a lot about DAV Safaris and is something I truly appreciate.
A very special thank you goes to my guide, Richard. He was simply exceptional. Always punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, patient and genuinely passionate about his country. He answered every question I had, shared fascinating insights about Uganda's wildlife, history and culture, and even taught me many words in Luganda, making the experience feel even more authentic and personal.
As a solo female traveller, I couldn't have asked for a better guide and companion. Richard made me feel safe, comfortable and welcome throughout the entire journey: webale! :)
To make everything even more special, the lodge at where we stayed on my bday, surprised me with an unforgettable birthday cake and some singing. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a memory I will treasure forever. They truly went above and beyond to make my trip special.
The price was absolutely fair considering the outstanding quality of the organisation, accommodation, guiding and experiences included. Everything was perfectly arranged, allowing me to simply enjoy the adventure without worrying about anything.
Uganda was amazing, and DAV Safaris played a huge part in making that happen.
I wholeheartedly recommend DAV Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, ethical and unforgettable safari experience. I would choose them again without hesitation.
Thank you, DAV Safaris. Thank you, Richard. Hopefully, this wasn't goodbye - but see you again one day!
He tour operator was very responsive and provided a well planned and executed guided trip.
From initial contact through trip execution Africa Zim was very responsive. The office personnel helped guide us through the various options on places to visit, lodging and extra curricular activities. They also provided guidance on visa applications and travel logistics. We were met by their guide who was a fantastic, knowledgable and personable individual. He ensured that our trip was fun and educational and entertained us with relevant local information. He made necessary adjustments to our itinerary in light of our interests and capabilities. He also advocated for us with lodging or tour providers when appropriate to give us the best experience possible. Overall the trip was beyond our expectations and an absolutely great experience. We have recommended their services to our two nieces for an upcoming Africa trip in September and we plan to return for a Tanzanian trip next July.

My first safari and immediate the best!
We decided a good family vacation would be to go on safari for once. We decided to book through Mansoor, which was a great choice. We were greeted warmly at the airport by him and his colleague Yunus. The next morning we departed with another guide from African Pangolin Safaris, Bakari, who was also welcoming: Hakuna Matata he always says!
We visited Mikumi, Ruaha, and Udzungwa National Parks. Here we were able to see some amazing things and Mansoor and Bakari got us in touch with other great guides and people they knew. We got to hike in Udzungwa with zien beautiful views. The sightings during Game Drives in Mikumi and Ruaha were awesome, seeing even a baby leopard! Some might call it luck, but I would attribute it to the knowledge and experience of our guides.
If I ever return to Tanzania for a different trip I will definitely be getting in touch with Mansoor again for my next experience!

James and Peter are the best tour guides: experienced, patient, friendly, and accommodating.
My family and I recently completed an unforgettable 8-day African safari with Marurumi Safaris, and it truly became the best family vacation we have ever had. From the very beginning, we felt listened to and cared for. Communication was clear, prompt, and professional, and the team took the time to understand what mattered most to us. They created an absolutely PERFECT safari experience, with every detail thoughtfully arranged, including transportation, park fees, delicious food, incredible lodging, and, most importantly, experienced guides who made us feel safe, welcomed, and completely immersed in the adventure. All we had to do was show up, relax, and take it all in. Any small issues that came up were handled quickly and with kindness. It was worth every penny! We genuinely had no complaints.
We had the pleasure of having James, the company owner, as our safari guide for the first couple of days. His personality, warmth, and funny stories made those first days so memorable. Peter then took over, and he was so friendly, patient, and accommodating that he truly became part of our family. Because of Peter’s patience and knowledge in animal behavior, we experienced the highlight of the entire trip: being just feet away from two lions actually mating! Both James and Peter had an incredible gift for getting us close to the action, even among a swarm of other safari vehicles, while still making the experience feel personal and unrushed. The things we saw and experienced were extraordinary, and it was obvious how much care, knowledge, and passion they bring to what they do.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Marurumi Safari to anyone dreaming of a meaningful adventure. They gave our family more than a vacation—they gave us memories, stories, and moments we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Unique Experience
Our guide Martin was really nice. He did his best in order to look for the Big 5 and provide us the unique experience of a Safari in Pilanesberg. He provided all the necessary infos about the animals, curiosities, key facts etc with clarity and a lot of fun, creating a relaxe atmosphere for the group. We saw many animals including the leopard, a really big one.

Excellent Safari Experience from Start to Finish
Our experience with Hyrax Safaris was excellent from beginning to end. Everything was well organized, communication was clear throughout, and they were always willing to accommodate our requests whenever possible. Irene, our main point of contact, was responsive, professional, and made the planning process effortless. Our guide, Tony, had exceptional tracking skills and consistently found wildlife that many others would have missed. We had a fantastic safari and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone visiting Kenya.

Perfect
We spent a truly unforgettable 10-day trip to Kenya organized by Kilinyota Safaris: 6 days of safari and 4 days of relaxation by the sea, and everything was perfectly organized.
The safari was an extraordinary experience. We managed to see all the animals we hoped to see, thanks in part to the skill of our guide, who was always extremely kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We trusted him completely throughout the safari, and he accompanied us with great professionalism, providing us with truly emotional moments.
The accommodations we booked also exceeded our expectations: all very beautiful, well-kept, and comfortable. One, in particular, was truly unique because the animals were present right there, making the experience even more special. Furthermore, all the staff we met during the trip were extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive to our every need.
We spent the last four days at Diani Beach, a true paradise. The sea is spectacular; even though it's an ocean, it has incredible colors. The resort also proved to be an excellent choice, allowing us to completely relax after the safari. We also took an excursion during which we were lucky enough to see dolphins, a thrill that made the trip even more memorable.
It was an experience we will always cherish. Impeccable organization, stunning locations, and fantastic people made this vacation simply perfect. We recommend this trip to anyone who dreams of experiencing the magic of Kenya!
