A truly amazing experience from start to finish!
Our experience with Pascal in advising which safari experience would fit our requirements and helping us through the planning stages was seamless. We appreciated his knowledge and professionalism in helping us select the ideal experience for our group. He was in frequent communication with us throughout the process, and answered all our questions promptly and with reassurance.
He organised the van and driver to take all 11 of us from Cape Town to Gondwana with all our luggage for the 4 hour drive along the Garden Route. We were promptly collected from our various accommodations in Cape Town and delivered safely back after the safari.
The safari experience at Kwena Lodge was truly amazing. The lodge itself was luxurious and far exceeded our expectations. The food, the facilities and the staff were all outstanding. Our game drivers were professional and very entertaining. Their vast knowledge of the animals and the area was exceptional. We had a once in a lifetime experience of seeing many of the African native animals in their natural environment. A truly unforgettable experience. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Safari.com and Pascal for anyone looking for a similar safari in South Africa.

As a first-time safari traveler and a solo female traveler, choosing a safari company felt overwhelming. I spent months researching, comparing itineraries, reading reviews, and asking questions. Choosing Lizzy and LeoBeast Safaris turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for this trip.
From the moment I first contacted her, Lizzy was responsive, informative, and patient. No question ever seemed too small. Before the trip, during the trip, and even after the trip, she remained available and supportive.
One thing I learned quickly is that safari travel is not always rigid. Lodges change. Routes change. Park schedules change. Weather changes. Drivers adapt. If you come expecting every single detail to match a printed itinerary exactly, you may become frustrated. If you embrace "hakuna matata," you will enjoy yourself much more.
And when changes happened, Lizzy was always there to explain and help.
One of my favorite memories from the entire trip was my birthday, and Lizzy played a huge role in making it special. She helped organize my hot air balloon experience and made sure everything went smoothly. What touched me most was that both the balloon staff and the camp staff somehow knew it was my birthday. After the flight, and again later at camp, I was surprised with singing, dancing, and a birthday cake. As a solo traveler being thousands of miles from home, it was such a beautiful and thoughtful touch. Those moments made me feel celebrated and cared for, and they became some of my most cherished memories from the safari.
What impressed me most was how she handled challenges.
As a solo female traveler, I encountered a situation in Tanzania where a guide was making inappropriate comments about my appearance and touching me unnecessarily. I felt comfortable enough to tell Lizzy about it, and she addressed the situation immediately. The behavior stopped the very next day.
That meant a lot to me.
Another example was when my body simply reached its limit. After days of driving 6-8 hours followed by 4-6 hour game drives, I realized sleeping on the ground in a tent was becoming physically difficult. Lizzy helped arrange an accommodation upgrade quickly and made the process simple.
She even helped me recover a scarf I thought I had permanently lost after a confusing transportation change near the end of my trip. I was unexpectedly dropped off during a shuttle transfer, became flustered, and left my scarf behind. Through her persistence and network of contacts, she managed to get it back to me before I flew home. I was honestly shocked and incredibly grateful.
Safari life is intense. You can spend eight hours bouncing around dusty roads, exhausted and ready for bed, and then suddenly hear your guide yell, "RHINOOOOO!" and somehow every bit of exhaustion disappears.
I saw the Big Five and so much more. I crossed Kenya and Tanzania, experienced the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Amboseli, the Maasai Mara, and even ended my journey on the beaches of Zanzibar.
No safari is perfect. Plans change, accommodations change, routes change, and sometimes you simply have to embrace "hakuna matata." But throughout all of it, Lizzy was there. She was responsive, professional, reassuring, and genuinely cared about my experience from beginning to end.
As a first-time safari traveler and solo woman traveling through East Africa, I could not have asked for a better operator. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lizzy and LeoBeast Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Kenya or Tanzania.

Amazing
One of the best experiences of my life. Not only did I meet the most amazing people, staff, fellow adventurers, and patients. But to see the impact on the community was the most beautiful thing. The company focuses on safety, fun, and community outreach. Before this Africa was never even on my list of places to visit, now I’ll go back every chance I get with them. What an amazing experience

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Safari.com and Simbavati!
My adult children and I had the best time ever at Simbavati Trails Camp and Simbavati River Lodge! It was truly an unforgettable experience!
First of all, working with Safari.com throughout the booking process was outstanding! They didn't just listen to what we wanted; they made sure we had everything we needed, providing information and support before our trip, during our travels, and even afterward. Wow! Words cannot describe how wonderful the entire experience was!
Caillen F., thank you so much for always being available to answer all my questions and for making the whole process so smooth. Your support made such a difference!
And a huge thank you to the entire Simbavati team! From the wonderful staff and managers to our driver and tracker, everyone made us feel so welcome and helped make our safari truly special. The kindness, attention, and care we received from everyone made this trip an experience we will always treasure.
I wouldn't book another safari without Safari.com! If I could give you 10 stars, I absolutely would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hands down the best I could’ve asked for!!!
This was my second trip with this company and again it was exceptional. We had clear communication with the staff before the trip to let us know what to expect and things to know ahead of time. Then through out the trip we were able to really experience the culture and wildlife! This trip was memorable and I have already booked my next trip!

Trip of a lifetime!
Recently returned from a 9-day safari with Maramatta and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! Vicent’s customer service was exceptional and he helped us build the perfect itinerary through Kenya and Tanzania. He consistently checked in with us before, during, and even after the trip to ensure every detail was taken care of. Our guide, Jordan, was the best! He was super knowledgeable, patient, and somehow always managed to find the best sightings and viewing spots. We saw absolutely everything we hoped to see and every day just kept getting better and better. It was also amazing to have Hans there to share his beautiful photos and videos with us after the trip. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so thankful to the Maramatta team for making our experience unforgettable. Would strongly recommend Maramatta Safaris to everyone!

The company and staff are very well organized, interactive, and professional!!!
Coming into this trip I did not know what to expect. The communication leading up to the trip and during the trip was very informative and helpful. I thought I knew so much about Africa but going and experiencing first hand taught me so much that a book or television show ever could. Nesh tours is trustworthy and professional! 10/10 would recommend and use again!!!

Excellent Safari and Dental Mission Experiences with Nesh Tours & Safaris
My experience with Nesh Tours & Safaris has been wonderful and truly memorable. I have had the opportunity to visit the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and I have also participated in five dental missions organized through our work in Kenya—four in Eastern Kenya and one in the Rift Valley.
The team has done an excellent job planning and coordinating these trips, handling booking arrangements, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. The professionalism, organization, and dedication of the team have made both our safari experiences and dental missions meaningful and rewarding.
The tour drivers have been professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout our journeys. I particularly appreciate the excellent coordination and attention to detail, which make travelling and participating in these missions much easier.
Nesh Tours & Safaris is more than just a travel company; through its support of our dental missions, it also contributes to community service and meaningful outreach in Kenya.
I would highly recommend Nesh Tours & Safaris to anyone looking for reliable safari services, professional travel coordination, and memorable experiences in Kenya. Keep up the excellent work
