It's a unforgotten safari, comfortably encountering animals and pretty good accommodation and food
Our first stop was camp Kalahari, which was in Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Lots of animals live there, blue wild beasts, zebras, stinboks, ostriches...One highlight was to encountering a lion family in a very short distance (10-30 meters), which composed a male lion, four female lions and around 8 cubs. They were resting and playing...The most impressive thing there was to observe meerkats. They were very cute and vigilant, but they were not afraid of people. And even, a meerkat stood on my body when I laid on the ground in front of them. What a experience! By the way, guide Nico of camp Kalahari is super professional and introduces everything there. He could be a good biology and geography teacher.
The second camp was Moremi Crossing, locateing in Akavango Delta. Akavango Delta has more diverse landscapes and animals. Two nights could be not enough for enjoying this wild and wonderful place. More animals are there, elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, lions...and lots of beautiful birds.
The third camp we stayed in was Elephan Pan, comparing to the previous two camps, which didn't seem so special except for many elephants there.
Our itinerary was organised by Marco from Southbound Tours. He is reliable and should be recommend.
Botswans is one of the best place for safaring fans and worthy to come again.

Kenya is a place where nature, wildlife, and culture come together in the most unforgettable way.
Kenya exceeded my expectations. The Maasai Mara was absolutely breathtaking, with incredible wildlife sightings including lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, and even a leopard. Seeing animals in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience.
One of the highlights was also visiting a Maasai village. Learning about their culture and traditions added a meaningful human dimension to the trip beyond the wildlife.
The landscapes were just as impressive as the animals, from the Great Rift Valley to the endless plains of the Mara. Our guides were knowledgeable and passionate, making every game drive both exciting and educational.
I visited during the dry season, and wildlife viewing was excellent. If you're considering your first African safari, Kenya is a fantastic choice. I would happily return.

Amboseli was great. Nairobi not so much
Loved it at Amboseli, even outside the national park there were plenty of animals and Kilimanjaro was amazing too see. Nairobi is a busy city…not our vibe but a necessary stop on the way

BK led us on a fantastic six day camping safari in Botswana, amazing experience!
Five of us on a trip with BK’s outfit through Afrigetaway. Planning the trip was fairly easy. Several options were presented and we chose the best one for us. We communicated with BK via WhatsApp and had everything arranged for us except flights, which we took care of. Began in Maun and ended in Kasane, with a transfer over to Victoria Falls. Good value for the money. Our guide (“LT”) who drove our safari vehicle was fantastic! And our camp cook Emily was so incredible. Great food every day.

Incredible
We had the most amazing experience with Plex Africa Safaris on the one-day safari from Zanzibar, and it exceeded all of our expectations.
A huge thank you to our guide, Joseph, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely determined to give us the best possible experience. He went above and beyond trying to track down lions throughout the day. Although we didn’t manage to spot any in the end, that was simply nature taking its course, and it didn’t take away from the experience at all. We saw so many other incredible animals, and Joseph made every sighting exciting with his knowledge and enthusiasm.
The biggest thank you has to go to Joseph and the entire Plex Africa Safaris team for helping my now fiancé organise the most unforgettable proposal. They put so much care into making it happen, and it was even more special than we could have imagined. Everything was planned perfectly, and they made the whole moment feel relaxed, fun, and truly magical.
If you’re thinking about booking a safari from Zanzibar, we couldn’t recommend Plex Africa Safaris more. Professional, well-organised, and full of people who genuinely care about giving you an unforgettable experience. Thank you again for creating memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime!

Wonderful
The safari guide was excellent at spotting animals. He gave us plenty of time to watch them and take photos. The accommodation and food were good, with plenty of food as well.
The communication was prompt and excellent.

MJ Safaris & Adventure provided the amazing, customized experience I was looking for. + I summited.
I went with MJ Safaris for my climb of the Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro and I couldn’t be happier my experience. Jackson and Noela’s communication was excellent, I was comfortable with all the details of my arrangement and all the logistics involved, the gear provided, the information regarding the route, etc.
My guide Dennis was absolutely amazing, keeping my spirits high, answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns, and providing great information about the flora and fauna on Kilimanjaro along the way, without being overbearing or providing TMI. He balanced everything quite well, which reflected his deep mountaineering background and tremendous experience on Kili, having summitted over 60 times in the past. He was polite, professional, down to earth, compassionate, and simply a joy to do this expedition with. I feel very fortunate to have been paired with Dennis.
Christian, my new Rafiki, was awesome around camp, from setting up my private dining tent and portable toilet (which, if you’re still deciding on, GO FOR IT, you do NOT want to be locating public Kili bathrooms in the middle of the night, in high wind, at altitude, on rocky unfamiliar terrain, only to come upon the nastiest toilets (not actually toilets but literally an enclosed, disgusting hole in the ground) you’ll ever encounter in your life. Get the private / tented bathroom!!), to serving all of my delicious meals and condiments, hot tea in my tent upon request, coffee ready and waiting in the morning, etc. The whole crew (including guide Dennis, Christian, and several additional porters) were awesome, I was 100% cared for, supported, and I truly felt like it was a team effort and they were all personally invested in me getting to the summit. You could tell it was a victory for them, me getting to the top, they took pride in it.
If you’re looking for a smaller operator that really cares and supports you in every way, go with MJ Safaris and work with Jackson. Oh, btw , the hotel they put you up at in Moshi, TZ., called the Mariadi, is an absolute gem. Small, well kept, beautifully landscaped, tranquil and clean pool area, delicious breakfast buffet, etc. This was a great hidden benefit I was not expecting as part of this package but looking back I'm very grateful for.
Dennis, Christian and team, thank you all once again. I’ll never forget my time on Kilimanjaro and how comfortable you guys made me feel while climbing a 19,000 + foot mountain.

An unforgettable Kenya safari experience with excellent support
We had an amazing safari with Ramble Africq Safaris! It was truly an experience of a lifetime. We saw 4 of the Big Five, along with many other incredible animals, making every game drive exciting and memorable.
Everything was very well organized. The itinerary ran on time, everything happened as planned, and the hotels were generally very nice. We had a fantastic time throughout the trip.
The communication before and during the safari was excellent. Brian was always available on WhatsApp and responded very quickly, sometimes even late in the evening. It was very reassuring to know that we could reach him whenever we had questions.
One point of feedback concerns the hotel bookings. Our original quote included four specific hotels, and we decided to proceed with the booking based on that itinerary. However, by the time the booking was processed, three of the four hotels were no longer available, and we had to choose alternative accommodations. While the alternatives were good and we appreciate the effort to find replacements, it was disappointing as we had specifically been looking forward to the original hotels. It would be helpful if hotel availability could be confirmed or reserved before the itinerary is presented as final, or if the possibility of substitutions could be communicated more clearly from the beginning.
Overall, we had a wonderful safari experience and would definitely recommend Ramble Adrica Safaris to anyone planning a Kenya safari. The organization, communication, and overall experience made it a trip we will remember for a lifetime.

Chobe House - the perfect safari experience with a bit of everything
This was a safari with a difference. As well as the amazing game drives each day the Chobe House team arranged 2 different nights camping in the bush, various river safaris and even a day out to Victoria Falls.
The lodge has comfortable rooms, a relaxed vibe and sits on the river where it’s pleasant to sit and relax between safaris The food was excellent and drinks, whilst providing a great range, were reasonably priced. The staff are really attentive, welcoming and well trained in customer experience, and were so friendly that they felt like friends by the end of the trip. The lodge is located in Kasane which felt safe to around and has a new and modern airport.
The Chobe National Park has such a wealth of wildlife – we saw leopards, prides of lions, herds of elephants, a cheetah , crocs, water buffalo, wild dogs, hyaena and so much more. The birdlife was incredible too. It was good to vary tours with drives and river safaris which gives a completely new perspective to the wildlife - watching various animals come to the river drink, wash and play, especially the baby elephants!
The unforgettable highlight was our two nights in the bush, coming across a lone male lion roaring on a night drive, sleeping under canvas, sharing a glass or two by a camp-fire with friends and hearing the sounds of wild animals whilst sitting under the stars.
