Absolutely brilliant tour
Our recent safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Sebastian, who was the absolute star of the trip. He is incredibly experienced and has an almost supernatural ability to spot wildlife. Beyond his knowledge, he was incredibly accommodating, making sure we were comfortable and getting the best views at every stop.
The accommodation exceeded our expectations—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located to make the most of the wilderness. I also want to mention the Silas, the organiser, who replied to every message with impressive speed and made the booking process stress-free.
We had a wonderful time and have come home with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

Wonderful experience in Northern Ethiopia with a professional and caring team
Our journey through Ethiopia with Ethio Top Land Tours was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Ethiopia is such a fascinating country, and having such a reliable local company organising the journey allowed us to relax and really enjoy everything we were seeing.
We travelled through very different parts of northern Ethiopia, from the spectacular scenery of the Simien Mountains to the castles of Gondar, ancient Axum, the extraordinary churches of Tigray and Lalibela, before finishing in Addis Ababa. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and we were very happy with the standard of the hotels and the restaurants recommended along the way.
A special thank you must go to our guide Desale, who looked after us so well throughout the trip. He was kind, patient and always attentive to what we needed. Travelling with someone who knows the country so personally made a huge difference, and his warmth and enthusiasm made even the long journeys enjoyable. He was also always there to help with practical things, including carrying and helping us with our luggage throughout the trip, which we really appreciated.
I was particularly impressed by how dependable the company was when things did not go according to plan. Bad weather caused unexpected changes to several of our domestic flights, but the team quickly found alternatives and adapted our schedule without us losing any of the important experiences we had travelled to Ethiopia for. They were even willing to cover the additional costs caused by these changes themselves, despite the circumstances being completely outside their control. It gave us great confidence knowing there was always someone taking care of the details.
The tour was also very good value for money. Everything that had been agreed was included in the price, with no hidden costs or unexpected charges, so we always knew exactly what we were paying for.
We came away with some wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation of Ethiopia. A caring, dependable and very professional team that I would happily travel with again. Highly recommended.

An unforgettable journey through Ethiopia with an exceptional guide
We had an incredible 7-day trip with Ethio Top Land Tours, covering the Simien Mountains, Gondar, Axum, the rock-hewn churches of Tigray, Lalibela and Addis Ababa. It was an ambitious itinerary, but everything was extremely well organised and we were amazed by how much we were able to experience in just one week.
Our guide Desale was one of the highlights of the trip. His knowledge of Ethiopian history and culture is excellent, but what we appreciated most was how much local insight he brought to every place we visited. He was always happy to explain things, introduce us to people and help us understand the country beyond the main sights. He even took us to his own village, which was a really special experience and gave us a glimpse of everyday Ethiopian life that we would never have found on our own.
The organisation behind the scenes was equally impressive. Weather caused several last-minute flight changes during our trip, but the company and manager handled everything immediately, adjusting hotels, transport and sightseeing so that we still managed to complete the entire itinerary. We never had to deal with the stress ourselves.
Great hotels and restaurant choices, excellent local knowledge and a team that genuinely knows how to look after its guests. Professional, trustworthy and flexible — I would highly recommend Ethio Top Land Tours.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari – Telly Africa Were Exceptional!
Our safari with Telly Africa was genuinely one of the highlights of our honeymoon and an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. From the initial planning right through to the end of our safari, everything was organised brilliantly and exceeded our expectations.
A huge thank you to William, who helped me plan the entire trip from start to finish. What really stood out was the amount of time and care he put into the planning process. He went through each and every accommodation option in detail, explaining the differences and giving me the flexibility to tailor the itinerary exactly to what we wanted for our honeymoon. Nothing ever felt rushed or like a standard package – it felt completely personalised to us.
Our driver and guide, Habib, was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, the parks and Tanzania in general, while always being professional, patient and respectful. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire safari and genuinely added so much to the experience.
And the safari itself was incredible! We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, which made an already special honeymoon even more unforgettable. 🦁🐘🐆🦏🐃 The wildlife, scenery and experiences we had were beyond anything we could have imagined.
Everything came together perfectly – the accommodation, organisation, game drives and personal service. You can tell that Telly Africa genuinely care about giving their guests an amazing experience rather than simply selling a safari package.
If you’re considering booking a safari in Tanzania, especially for something special like a honeymoon, I couldn’t recommend Telly Africa highly enough. William and Habib, thank you for helping make our honeymoon so memorable. It truly was the trip of a lifetime and we would book with Telly Africa again without hesitation!
10/10 experience from beginning to end. 🇹🇿❤️

Just go with them for a perfect holiday
Our 4-night, 5-day trip across Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana with cukoo Safaris was absolutely flawless from start to finish. If you are planning a trip to the region, book with them without hesitation—they are professional, reliable, and deeply honest. From the moment Blessing picked us up at the airport to our final departure drop-off, the coordination was seamless. With an ambitious itinerary involving multiple border crossings, transfers, and activities—a Zambezi River sunset cruise, guided tour of Victoria Falls, helicopter flight, a full-day safari in Chobe National Park (Botswana), and a final evening game drive with a bush dinner—every single pickup was prompt to the minute. Every driver and tour partner already had our names on hand, making a complex schedule feel effortless.
The guides were outstanding, passionate, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. Across our game drives, we saw rhinos, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and plenty of hippos. The aerial views from the helicopter flight over Victoria Falls were unforgettable. Cukoo Safaris delivers top-tier service, transparent communication, and authentic hospitality. I would blindly recommend them to anyone visiting Southern Africa!

An Unforgettable Family Safari with Aardvark Expeditions
Our safari with Aardvark Expeditions was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything was exceptionally well organised, and the entire team went above and beyond to make our trip special.
What made the experience even more memorable was how wonderful the team was with our 5-year-old son and my pregnant wife. They were incredibly patient, thoughtful and attentive to our family’s needs throughout the entire trip. They made sure our son was engaged and excited during the game drives, while also taking extra care to ensure my wife was comfortable and able to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or tired.
Our guide eile was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, patient and passionate about wildlife. He had an incredible ability to spot animals that we would have completely missed, while also making the experience fun and interesting for our son.
The accommodation, transfers and overall arrangements were beyond excellent, and we always felt genuinely well looked after. The flexibility and personal attention from the team made a huge difference, especially when travelling with a young child and someone who is pregnant.
The wildlife experiences were incredible, and we came away with memories that our whole family will cherish for years to come.
A huge thank you to the entire Aardvark Expeditions team Philemon and Elie for making our family safari so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Aardvark Expeditions to anyone planning a Tanzania safari, especially families. We would absolutely choose them again!

Unforgettable Safari Experience in Kenya and Tanzania with Spirit of Kenya. Unforgettable Safari Experience in Kenya
Děkujeme agentuře Spirit of Kenya za skvěle zorganizovanou safari cestu po Keni a Tanzanii i za následný pobyt u moře.
Navštívili jsme parky Masai Mara, Serengeti a kráter Ngorongoro. Díky obrovskému štěstí a především zkušeným průvodcům, kteří parky znají do nejmenších detailů, jsme viděli spoustu divokých zvířat z bezprostřední blízkosti. Úžasným zážitkem byl přechod pakoňů přes řeku Mara i sledování Velké migrace. Ubytování bylo velmi kvalitní a skvěle situované. Vše fungovalo bez jediného problému a domů jsme si odvezli nezapomenutelné vzpomínky.
Thank you to Spirit of Kenya for a wonderfully organized safari trip across Kenya and Tanzania, as well as the following beach stay.
We visited Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Thanks to a bit of luck and, above all, our experienced guides who know the parks inside out, we got to see a wealth of wildlife up close. Witnessing the wildebeest river crossing at the Mara River and being part of the Great Migration was unforgettable. The accommodations were top-quality and in excellent locations. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and we brought home incredible memories.

Organised, knowledgeable, helpful and responsive
We had an amazing holiday and experience planned by Great Explorations Namibia. From the point of enquiry to being in Namibia, Jade from Great Explorations was helpful and knowledgeable helping to plan the best route and experience for our budget and family.
Nothing was too much trouble even when we were swapping hotels as to best suite our family needs.
Jade met us at our first hotel following arrival in Namibia and provided a welcome pack with all vouchers as well as a very useful highlighted and marked map for ease of use. She answered all our questions making us feel welcomed and prepared for the trip ahead.
As a young family smooth transition from locations and hotels aids in an enjoyable holiday and for the most part this went without any problems. Any small issues we were able to contact great explorations via a emergency number and they were very responsive and helpful.
We had wonderful time and were able to see all the sights and animals we had hoped and planned before our trip.
Note - swimming pools are cold at nearly all locations, no matter where across the country.
We travelled from Windhoek to Kalahari, over to Soussaveli, Swakopmund, Twyfelfontien, Grootberg, ,Etosha, Okonjima and then Avenir before back home. All accommodations were excellent. Okaukuejo at Etosha was probably the least plush, however we knew this coming into the trip, but it does have one of the best watering holes which was true for our trip.
Okonjima was beautiful and we would definitely recommend the other locations we stayed (Desert Hills Lodge, Twyfelfontien Adventure Camp - go premium well worth it, Onguma Bush Camp and Avenir Lodges).
The living desert tour in Swakupmund is really great especially for the kids as is the sandwich harbour dune tour with sand boarding.
Deadveli is lovely but you can explore on your own, however to get the most out of the game reserves, guided drives are best. On all our drives the guides found animals that we would have driven straight past.
Get up early at Etosha when leaving though, as we were fortunate enough to see a pride of 7 lions lazing and playing by the watering hole.
An amazing once trip made all the better by the organisations smooth running provided by Great Explorations Namibia would definitely recommend.
