Unforgettable safari experience with Kojuu Safaris
My husband and I went on a 3 night / 4 day luxury safari with Kojuu to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, followed by a few nights in Zanzibar to relax (a must!). We had an incredible time! Our only regret is that we didn’t go for longer — there’s so much to see and do in the region that I would recommend at least 5-10 nights of safari to really experience it all! Even with just a short trip, the Kojuu team designed an expert itinerary to maximize our time. Thanks to their planning, we were able to see the Big Five by our second day! We even had any incredible leopard spotting, which felt quite special.
Judith’s attention to detail and communication is fantastic. She is extremely fast, professional, and thorough in replying to questions during the lead up to and during the safari itself. She made sure every detail was to our liking and checked in regularly. It’s clear that she cares a great deal about her customers, and takes great personal care of each person she works with.
Our guide Aziz was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the region, animals, and ecosystems. He took great care of us, making sure we had everything we needed at all times, were very comfortable, and saw all of the animals we were hoping to see. We had a new 8-seat truck all to ourselves, equipped with drinks, snacks, USB outlets, and even Wi-Fi. Each morning the truck pulled up at our lodge spotlessly clean, fully restocked, and ready for a day of adventure. Seeing giraffes and elephants up close was such an unreal experience. The family of lions we watched playing together early in the morning on our last game drive is a memory I will never forget!
What sets Kojuu apart from other safari operators is their deep knowledge and expertise, and extremely high commitment to delivering quality, personalized 5* service at every step. I would absolutely recommend Kojuu to anyone looking to plan their safari!

an unforgettable trip
an unforgettable trip.
we spent 15 days in South Africa with shikwaru adventures.
Thanks to Fréderica for the superb management and organization of the trip. Everything was perfect, from the accommodation to the visits. We shared unforgettable moments in the Kruger Park with Jerome, our guide, who is so passionate about nature and was able to show us all the flora and fauna.
Thanks also to Fils, who introduced us to Cape Town and its fantastic landscapes.
We highly recommend shikwaru for their beautiful tailor-made services.

Amazing
We went as a family of 4 adults from USA. After researching a lot of companies for a long time, we decided to go with Suricata. I arranged the trip with Halimaat - she was wonderful, answering my questions and making changes available at any time 24/7. Our Safari driver/guide was Ezekiel. He was a great driver and very knowledgeable. The driver from and to airport was Mr. T. He was very nice setting us up to our accommodation in Arusha. The accommodations were even better than I expected, everyone everywhere was supper nice. The food was amazing. The lodges were beautiful and the service was great. Very satisfied overall, strongly recommend the experience.

Incredible unforgettable experience that is truly priceless.
The guides, drivers, hosts were all incredibly amazing. Super responsive, informative and made the whole experience fun and pleasant. We loved every minute of our experience, they truly care and want to make sure you have the best possible experience. Everything from airport pickups, to driving to Virunga was so easy, safe and educational. My experience was unbelievable and I hope everyone has the chance to adventure in Rwanda.

A well organized and truly unique and amazing experience.
To start of the service was great. Everything was well organized and the schedule was thought of thoroughly. The people from the company but also from the overnight stays were extremely attentive, friendly and considerate. You had enough time to enjoy any moment and still take pictures. They were also able to teach us a lot of the language and about every animal we saw.
The tour was as dreamed. We saw a lot of different animals up close in different landscapes, the guide was able to provide answers to our questions and he put in a lot of thought and effort so we would be able to see a lot up close and that we overall enjoyed the tour.
To sum it up the service couldn’t have been better. Communication was upheld the entire time if you needed something, everyone around us was reliable to be on time and have everything.

Petrus is an excellent guide for safari, found so many animals
We know that there is a random element, you can't guarantee good views of wildlife, but Petrus is amazing! Great outing, amusing and informative conversation, and lots of wildlife. Highly recommended!

Friendly, kind and punctual
I travelled with my mother to Rwanda for the first time! We were immediately very impressed by the safety and cleanliness of the country! We did not see a single piece of litter the entire trip and repeatedly saw the streets being swept with even the dead leaves cleared away!
All of our trips were booked with Shalom Tours prior to arrival! We had a clear itinerary for each tour provided to us! Our tour guide throughout was Richard who was very friendly, a good driver and always on time!
First we went to Nyungwe National Park and did the Canopy walk. We did this as a 1 day tour due to time constraints, but please note it is a 5hr drive from Kigali. The walk was beautiful! My mum is not an avid hiker but the porter was lovely and carried her bag as well as walked at her pace, allowing her to stop to catch her breath while the rest of us carried on.
Next we went to Akagera National Park where we stayed overnight! The safari ride was very fun and we managed to see quite a few animals (except the lions so we will be going back to hopefully case them next time!). We also enjoyed a 1hr boat ride where we saw hippos, crocodiles, monkeys and many types of birds! The hotel that was booked by the tour company, mantis lodge, has beautiful rooms overlooking the lake with excellent buffet breakfast and dinner!
We then did a 1 day tour of Kigali. This was catered around what we wanted to see and had not yet had a chance to do in Kigali. We also were taken to a great restaurant for local food and it was definitely the best meal of the trip.
Finally, our last trip was to Volcanoes National Park for the gorilla trek. This was definitely the highlight. It was an absolutely magical experience that highly recommend to everyone! On the way back we stopped by the Dian Fossey museum which was very informative and well put together.
All the tours were well organised and meals and snacks were all included.
The tour company owner and his wife, Alain and Lisa were some of the kindest hosts I have ever encountered and by the end of the trip they felt more like family! While they were not with us during the tours they constantly checked in on us to ensure we were having a good time and we really enjoyed the time we spent with them in Kigali. Alain and Lisa, we hope you come and visit us some day so we can repay the generous hospitality!
Overall I would highly recommend Rwa da as a travel destination - it’s landscape is beautiful, the history and how they’ve rebuilt the country is truly incredible and most of all the people are wonderful! There are so many activities to do and places to see!
I highly recommend ShalomTours! They will do their absolutely best to cater to your travel needs and ensure you have the best time possible!
