Breath-taking & Ultra Accommodating
Before I go on THANK YOU JOANNA for being the best guide we could ask for.
Prior to arriving, Frank was very responsive, helpful and professional when making our itinerary. This process was the start to a very carefree trip where we didn’t have to worry about a THING.
From the moment we landed in Rwanda the team was by our side, there was no moment where we felt confused nor felt lost in a new city. They were always ready and willing to go the extra mile for us.
For example we planned a day in Rwanda just to ourself , easier said than done in terms of getting around. As soon as we told them that we planned to check out the city they asked if we wanted a driver to show us around. What was supposed to be a day of just checking out the place turned into a tour where we learned so much.
The accommodations at each destination were top notch and the service was unreal especially where we stayed to see the gorillas!
The days were well planned but also flexible if we needed to modify. It was all about the details! For example: There were always fresh bottled water in the car. And having the resource of a local guide at all times gave us a deeper appreciation for the country and culture.
A perfect example of the level of thoughtfulness:
While in Akagera we wanted playing cards. Joanna and our local guide went so far out of their way to get someone in town to buy and deliver a pack of cards all the way into the national park. It was BEYOND our expectations.
Jonna and team are super thoughtful. We were able to totally customize our trip to our schedule and spend our time the way we wanted.
Thanks again Joanna and team for being guardian Angels.

Always looked out for us on our fantastic tour!
We went on a 13 day tour of Rwanda and Uganda with Mega Wild Safaris. This was the trip of a lifetime for an unbelievably reasonable price. We saw everything! In Rwanda we drove on safari and tracked chimpanzees. In Uganda we spent time with mountain gorillas (sitting right among them), went lion tracking and found 2 prides plus 2 leopards, multiple safari trips and two boat safaris, one on the Nile. Saw so many hippos, crocodiles (huge), elephants, giraffes, rhinos, jackals lots of monkeys and birds. We were up close with all of them.
Our tour guides (James, Dalson and James) were so attentive and friendly. They were always watching out to make sure we had a perfect vacation. Our hotels were great and the food excellent.
No bugs, no issues at all! I highly recommend this tour company for African tours. The 13 day tour would be great for families or groups of friends, even alone if you so desire.

Awesome!
I was wanting to celebrate my 60th birthday with an African safari with my son and Matthys with Discover Africa planned the most amazing itinerary for us! Having been on safari before to Kenya and Zimbabwe, I wanted to share this wonderful experience with my teenage son. Matthys planned the perfect safari for us in Botswana. Beautiful wildlife, delicious food, awesome lodges! Truly the trip of a lifetime! We shared experiences and made memories to last forever. Thank you, Matthys and Discover Africa

Great experience with Soul of Tanzania and Ukadi
We (33M and 33F couple) booked a Safari with Soul of Tanzânia after watching some Portuguese influencers and some YouTube videos recommend the agency as being quite reliable company. After some e-mail back&forth with very quick replies by Marta which was always extremely helpful we booked a 4night/5day safari (Tarangire->Serengeti 2n-> Ngorongoro).
We had a quite nice experience, everything went very well, seamless and according to plan, all the transfers, camp bookings, everything. I could even borrow from Soul of Tanzania some Beanie Bags (helps with photography) and an extra pair of binoculars.
We went with the Standard accomodations and its was more than enough for an affordable luxury experience at a Tanzanian safari.
We would say however the strongest point making our Safari successful and unforgetable was our guide. His name is Ukadi and he probably deserves more credit in our Safari that I can probably put into words, but here we go:
Ukadi is pretty outgoing and very good to make you feel confortable, he was all the time adapting and trying to make sure we got the best experience according to our "goals" for the trip.
All our jeep travels were a learning experience, Ukadi taught us some much about Tanzânia, life in the country and the Parks that I almost have material to write a good book about it :)
Ukadi is truly a Master spotter and some of the other guides were nicknaming him Eagle eye! 2 quick examples: Ukadi spotted 2 rhinos from Ngorongoro viewpoint, all other guides were astonished because they were coming from the crate and had seen none. Two days after when entering the crater he spots again a Rhino from far out, crazy!
In Serengeti, in a straight line of 4 jeeps he was the only guide to spot a Chita in the Shadow of a tree, like 200m away, for my naked eye and even at first sight in binoculars all I could see was a small boulder xD
As soon as Ukadi noticed my photography hobby, he was all the time helping me with photo composition and making sure we were on the right spots to nail the optimal shots - because sometimes moving the jeep 50cm away makes quite a difference.
All in all, highly recommend booking with Soul of Tanzania due to their professionalism, willingness and quickness to accomodate your requests but our strongest recommendation is to MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR UKADI and then, Hakuna Matata, enjoy your Safari!

Fantastic experience from top to bottom
We had a wonderful experience with Tekko Tours from start to finish. Communication in advance was very quick and thorough and they were very accommodating to our needs. Their detailed itinerary was exactly what we wanted and the price was very reasonable. Our amazing driver and guide Kennedy picked us on time and everything went smoothly from there. I had been on several safaris years ago and none were nearly as good. Kennedy seemed to have a knack from spotting wildlife and getting us close enough to take incredible photos. His detailed knowledge of various species and migration patterns was a bonus. He also helped teach my kids Swahili on the long drives. I HIGHLY recommend Tekko Tours.

Wonderful
First of all, me and my friends would like to express our sincere appreciation to you for all the organization of our wonderful safari in Tanzania . We had requested Abas to give us an Itinerary covering as many national parks as possible and we worked together to plan a completely personal and individually tailored itinerary that without a doubt was one of the best safari experience we have ever had. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the 4 lodges and tented camps we spent the nights in. The parks and reserves were wonderful with varied animal species. We saw ALL kinds of animals from the big five at a close distance though leopard and rhino were quite difficult to see we got luck and did manage to see them. Others include crocodiles, hippos, lizards, jackals,hyrax... and some of this animals would even freely wonder around our camps… .quite scary!! but this was also part of what made this trip mind blowing. Our guide, Justin , out won all the other guides we have ever had on any trip. He was very pleasant, always accommodating to our needs and was very patient giving us enough time for picture-taking. Besides, he was extremely knowledgeable with a terrific sense of humor. His knowledge of the animals, birds, landscape and geography was really impressive and certainly added to our trip.
Having made our trip so wonderful I highly recommend Nasikia safaris . Absolutely No regrets!!

Fantastic 1 day trip to Chobe from Vic Falls
We had a great time with Africa Beast Safaris. They are always on time, and communicate very very well.
Their guides are professional, enthusiastic and really want you to have a great experience.
The trip itself was awesome. The game drive left in the morning (dress warmly!) And we saw dozens of elephants, buffalo, and hippos among many other species. We also saw a pride of lions right next to the jeep. The lunch they provide at the lodge is also very good.
For the boat ride we saw crocodiles, more hippos and buffalo and even got to watch two herds of elephant cross the river, and more lions.
Could not be more impressed with Africa Beast Safaris and we will be booking with them again.
