Amazing. Everything was perfect, the trip, the food, the camp site.
The experience was amazing, Tanzania is a big country, I chose an exceptional tour, the guide used to explain everything about the place and, the animals. The food was better than I expected.

3 of the big 5 in one day!
I carefully read many reviews and looked at what was involved with a day trip and the price. I chose Africa Beast because they included it all and the park fees were included. The only extra was a tip for our guide. We live in South Africa for 3 months of every year and have been on countless game drives both paid and self drive. This was the first time we have ever seen a lion on a drive! We saw a lioness and later 2 males. We also saw cape buffalo and elephants. The rhino have been removed to safety dut to poaching, and there were no leopard to be seen during our day time drive. Chobe river is beautiful to drive along and then motor in it seeing crocodile, hippo and elephant among many birds. We also learned that we were in an international waterway as one side of the land is Botswana, and the other side is Namibia. It was an expensive day for our family of four, but the tour made it so easy: picked up at our hotel, brought to the border crossing and escorted through the process for both leaving Zimbabwe and entering Botswana, a drive, a lovely lunch at a stunning lodge, motoring through the river, and then being ushered through the border crossing and brought safely back to the hotel. I'm so glad we booked!

10/10
Sangeeta was brilliant in helping me plan a small group safari to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. She understood my vision and her operations team executed the logistics flawlessly. Shout out to Malvika who handled a few last minute requests with no problem. I will definitely use Chalo next time I go to Africa (already dreaming about that!)

More than Safaris!
I have used Blue Mountain Trekking (BMT) for other services multiple times and, I without a doubt, plan to continue using Ann and her team going forward. I travel into Uganda and Kenya, and BMT has provided roadworthy vehicles and trustworthy drivers for my travel adventures. If there is something I need local insight into, I contact Ann, and she is always willing to assist and help where needed. Ann and her team have gone out of their way multiple times to make sure I have had what I needed, and more so. BMT is truly a trustworthy company with a desire to go above and beyond. If for some reason you are not satisfied with your experience, for whatever you hire BMT for, just contact Ann (owner) and she will do all she is able to make sure things are made right and you are satisfied with your experience.

Great safari trip! Our only regret is that it was only 1 week :)
We had a great "once in a lifetime" trip with Great Escape Trails, including 1 day Tarangire, 1 day Lake Natron, 3 days Serengeti, 1 day Ngorongoro Crater and 1 day Lake Manyara. We picked this tour after a lot of filtering on safaribookings.com and definitely have no regrets! The pricing was fair and competitive and the program was great.
Most importantly, Thom was a very good and pleasant guide! During our trip in Serengeti, 2 other safari vehicles got stuck in the mud, but with Thom this is very unlikely to happen, given his 20+ years of experience. He is a very responsible driver and was also actively helping the other drivers in need. Moreover, he had a lot to tell about the local nature and culture, always with humor. Aside from Thom, we met 2 other guides from Great Escape Trails, who also gave a good impression.
The communication for arranging the safari may be somewhat unclear at times. Still, everything will work out fine. Hakuna matata, you will not be scammed. :) Based on our experience, you will have a great holiday!

5 days Amazing Safari in Mikumi and Selous
This was actually my first experience with African Vista, and it was just as amazing! The experience was perfect - the process was seamless, from organizing the trip at home and being there. The accommodations both in Mikumi and Selous were great, and our guide Richard was quite the safari expert! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience and will be passing them along to any family member or friend who wants to do a future Tanzanian safari!

Once in a lifetime experience
Fiona and her team organised for us an incredible trip. Communication was open and reliable, we paid a fair price and the tour was truly unforgettable.
Our guide Antony was knowledgeable and friendly, he truly made sure we saw as much as was possible on the trip. We felt safe and looked after throughout our safari. Food and accommodation was as described, and people throughout our trip were incredibly helpful and always friendly.

An amazing tour
We booked our three day safari tour with Lavender's help. Lavender was very responsive, responded to all my questions through WhatsApp, and sent over all the necessary information for me to feel comfortable booking. We went to the bus terminal at JNB to await pickup, and the driver was on time and very professional. During the five ish hour drive from JNB out to Hoedspruit we stopped a couple times for bathroom breaks. The ride was very smooth, we were with one other couple that was staying at a different location. We stayed at the Radisson in Hoedpruit and it was so lovely. The hotel was new, clean, and had beautiful views from the pool area and our room's patio. We were very comfortable at the Radisson and the restaurant and bar were nice. We did an afternoon safari at Modlito Private Game reserve, a full day safari at Kruger, and an early morning safari at Modlito Private Game reserve. The safaris were excellent, we saw elephants, giraffes, impala, zebra, baboons, rhinos, hippos, and more. We had paid to do the full day safari as a private tour, but due to scheduling we ended up doing all our safaris as private drives. The trackers and drivers were all excellent. We had the best time. I was very pleased with how professional everything was. I highly recommend booking your safari tour through MoAfrika.

The most amazing experience!
I have never done any travel like this, but our guide, Chris, made us feel so safe. He made sure we were settled and comfortable at each hotel we stayed at. The hotels were amazing, too! All of the accommodations were above and beyond what I was expecting. As safari trips go, this was extremely affordable. Our guide, Chris, made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see and gave us an adventure of a lifetime! I wish we could have a Chris with us on ever trip! :)
