Perfect Safari and Tour of Kenya, great for all experience levels
My partner and I enjoyed a fantastic 10-day safari organized through Natural World Kenya Safaris. The entire experience, from planning through execution, was flawless. Our agent, Faith, was excellent with communication and helped us build a custom itinerary to give us the best chance at seeing all of the animals we hoped for.
The safari exceeded our expectations, particularly as it was during the supposed rainy/low season. We saw an incredible array of wildlife: 3 species of rhino, 3 species of giraffe, 2 species of zebra, lions, elephants, leopard, hyena, jackals, hippos, crocodiles, gazelles galore, warthog, cape buffalo, an incredible diversity of bird life, and more.
Our driver-guide, Kim, was a true gem. Knowledgable, experienced and jolly are just a few of his great characteristics. Kim was a great spotter of wildlife, a very good driver in the bush, and taught us so much about the flora and fauna that we encountered. We would highly recommend him for any type of safari-goer, but particularly those with an acute interest in wildlife knowledge or photography.
My partner and I were a bit anxious when planning this safari, as it was our very first one. But we couldn't be happier with how it went. If you have the option of going to Kenya for safari: do it! And please consider using Natural World Kenya Safaris and their guide Kim. You won't regret it.

Super organised, great experience and very helpful team
Bluecrane Safaris organised our fantastic self-drive in Namibia, including vehicle hire and accommodation. Everything went perfectly, we had an amazing time, the accommodation was wonderful, and the vehicle exactly what we needed. The team at Bluecrane were really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Thumbs up for a very competent and reliable travel agency in Victoria Falls
DK Tour is a reputable and competent travel agency in Victoria Falls. The contact, the advice, the communication and the payment for the trip were easy and efficient and far cheaper than with a travel agency from Germany. My wife and I were excellently looked after on site by the boss, Mr. Webster Musidzi, and given the best advice on the selection of events and providers (helicopter flight, dinner cruise). Mr. Musidzi was always personally on hand to make sure we were picked up from the hotel on time. We would highly recommend DK Tours in Victoria Falls for planning a trip to Zimbabwe/Botswana.

Great service and assistance
We have always received great and professional service from Roho ya Chui and Ute in particular. Email responses are quick and communication is easy.
Company is run by very knowledgeable people and thus every safari so far has been a success for me. Rates are usually cheaper than booking straight through lodges.

Just wonderful!
I had approached several companies before encountering Alex at Extraordinary Africa. She listened to our preferences carefully, made us feel as if our trip was the most important thing on her mind, cross checked all suggestions, providing alternatives, until perfection was reached. Following discussions about weather and animal migrations at different times of the year, our trip included Victoria Falls, two game lodges in Botswana and concluded in Cape Town. All accommodation was even better than expected with helpful and charming staff and the game drives themselves were just wonderful, led by experienced and knowledgeable guides. Transfers were guided and smooth and we always felt safe and well cared for. Safari trips are not cheap and Botswana is one of the more expensive destinations, but there were no nasty surprises and our trip was one of the most memorable and rewarding travel experiences of my life. Thank you Alex!

Everything I could’ve wanted
Just returned from a life-changing safari with the team from Colours Africa. I planned my trip on very short notice and they were incredibly helpful, totally flexible, and reliably communicative. As a solo traveler, I took a lot of comfort in knowing that Colours was there to assist as needed with any changes I wanted to make during my trip: lodging, flight schedules, add-ons. Having that support on the ground is key.
The safari itself was incredible. Delicious food, knowledgeable guides, and more animals than I could’ve imagined. Colours Africa also did a particularly excellent job assembling a group of like-minded travelers for our adventure, which was really impressive. They literally did their research to make sure I was being put with people I’d likely get along with — which wasn’t something I’d requested or mentioned, Colours is just thoughtful like that. It made a memorable experience that much more special.

Professional, experienced and knowledgeable tour company. Attentive to client wishes and budget.
Antoinette created a short 'taste of Africa' trip for us including Cape Town, Kruger and Vic Falls in just 8 nights (excl. intl. flights). The trip went without a hitch, provided excellent value for money and delivered everything we could have hoped for, and more. All pickups and drop-offs were on time with courteous and helpful drivers. Hotel selections and locations met every need, as did additional tours and experiences.
We have amazing memories, stories to tell and wonderful photos from this amazing experience. Hopefully we will be asking Discover Africa to create another trip for us soon.

Unforgettable and very informative safari tour
We booked the 4-day and 3 nights Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru mid-range/luxury private safari for two. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience with seeing the Big Five. Daniel, our guide was so knowledgeable and always tried to meet our needs. The price performance ratio was good and organization was fast. We booked the tour just a few days beforehand. We would definitely book that tour again! Asante sana Beacon Safari team!

Luxury Safari stunning setting, amazing wild life
Meagan from discover Africa smashed it! We had a fantastic experience, a once in a life time trip.
Meagan was happy to help with any questions, responded quickly and understood our needs. Although at the top end of our budget, the experience was well worth it, with all the fine details taken care of.
We arrived via a private chartered plane (which I got to have a go of flying!) to a private air strip where our guides were waiting for us.
The accommodation and setting was stunning, on the rivers edge with mountains and wildlife surrounding us. Food was delicious. The staff were super friendly. Activities were well planned and lots of incredible wildlife spotted. We even had an elephant visit our garden!
It was a big expense for our group but it was well worth the spend. We are so happy with the memories we’ve gained and would recommend to anyone who wants a bit of exclusive luxury.
