Best choice for safari and hike
5/5

We did the hike up Mount Meru and a 7 day safari with Godson and his team. We were completely satisfied and can only recommend Godson to everyone! He was also recommended to us and it was definitely the right decision to do the two tours with him. The communication with Godson before the trip went smoothly. He listened to our wishes and put together an individual tour for us. And also our questions he has always answered very reliably and very quickly. We decided for a private safari in tented lodges and would do it exactly the same way again. Godson arranged the accommodations for us and we could not have done better. The lodges were all very clean, the food was great and the staff was very friendly. The accommodation in the Serengeti was especially nice. The location of the tented lodge was gorgeous and you could see the sunrise from your bed! On the safari godson could tell us a lot of background information about the animals and the vegetation in the individual parks. It was really interesting and we could see a lot of animals thanks to his years of experience. The English of godson is really very good. Therefore, the communication was really nice and we learned a lot about the country and animals. Overall it was a wonderful adventure!

The hike on Mount Meru was unforgettable and highly recommended, not least because of our very competent team from Godson. Our guide Alex led us safely to the summit and was able to answer all our questions. Overall, we felt very well taken care of. Great care was taken to ensure that we could acclimatize well and create the best conditions to reach the summit. Once we reached the summit, we were rewarded with a breathtaking sunrise. The food, freshly prepared by our chef every day 3 times a day, was delicious. On the climb we saw many animals. This also made the day of the descent a special day.

Overall, my boyfriend and I can highly recommend Godson Adventure because we didn't feel like we were one client of many, but the tour was perfectly tailored to our individual desires and we had a memorable trip. Godson is very authentic and you can just tell that he enjoys his work and has a very profound knowledge! On the safari and also on the hike it is mostly so that you eat dinner together with the guide. That's why it's really very good to get along and have a good conversation. And so it was with us in any case. We had really good conversations and could learn so many things in general about life in Africa. It was always very entertaining and informative at the same time. Godson is simply a very likeable person and chooses his team accordingly well!

22 Days in Africa
5/5

Alex on planning and Kathi on follow through could not have done a better job. We started oour planning in 2019 to get bookings and scheduled for Sept 2020. We cancelled and Alex rescheduled us for May 2021. Again we had to reschedule and Alex made all arrangements for Sept 2021. Each time he meet our requirements to be first class and followed through on the trip.
Kathi arranged all the Covid test (6) and never once did we have a travel problem.
We gave him our objectives and he more than delivered

Unexpected Safari Experience
5/5

I have never experienced Africa with someone as knowledgeable as Oscar. He knew so many interesting facts about the animals and plants that we saw. He also got me to try some new foods from the region which is something I never expected from a safari. Overall, I was very happy with my experience

Truly unforgettable Safari Experience
5/5

We did nine days safari (Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Nake Naivasa, Amboselli, Taita Hill Sanctuary and Tsavo East) Antony was excellent in animal tracking. Could saw Lions and Cheetah many times. In fact we had kind of National Geographic experience when Cheetah hunted the wild beast. Could see lots of animals including big five just except Rhino. All the lodges and tents were amazing with very good food. We saw Hippos roaming in Lake Naivasa Country Club. Salt Lick Safari Lodge had excellent animal watching all day long. Very unique experience.
However, I found that their management was worst.
For lunch had to wait more than half hours in a crowded place. Room was not ready even at 2: 30 pm. If they could improve their management, I would still recommend Salt Lick Safari since their animal watching from the room, bar, restaurant- all were excellent experience.
Overall, we had un-forgettable best memories, no doubt. Isaac was very responsive from the beginning. Many times he showed flexibility of editing plans based on my request. He agreed on full payment after arrival and no prepayment. Also, I found that he offered a competitive price in comparison to the other operators I approached.

Amazing 4 day safari with Colours Africa
5/5

We have been thinking of doing a safari in Tanzania for long time, and after searching, we decided to do it with Colours Africa Tours and Safaris. We did a 4 day private safari in late October to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and it was absolutely perfect.
Prior to the trip, the company was in constant contact with us to make sure that everything that we wanted would happen. They arranged the transfer to and from the airport and the hotel stay in Arusha the day before and after the Safari. Mr Godlistun and Mr Hamisi were very helpful, they care about every detail to make sure that we are absolutely happy with the experience.
Our driver was Benjamin, and the safari wouldn't be the same without him. He knows everything about the parks and the animals, knows where, when and how to see them best and makes every effort for us to see as many animals as possible and take the most of the parks. The jeep was absolutely amazing, very comfortable and big, had a fridge with water and drinks for the lunches. We had hot meals that was absolutely amazing, with portable table and chairs in the heart of the parks, which made a big difference! They even had red and white wine for every lunch.
We stayed in 3 different accomodations arranged by the company and every single one of them was superb. Our guide Benjamin joined us for dinner which made it even better, it was a good time for bonding and prepare the next day.

It was a lifetime experience, and wouldn't change anything!!!
We are so happy with this trip and already thinking about our next adventure with Colours Africa!

Andy and Max made this trip effortless, especially considering Covid restrictions.
5/5

Andy called as we arrived at each destination to make sure all was going as planned. This was especially important because we had to deal with multiple Covid tests as we moved from one location to another. He was readily available at each turn of the trip. I had suggested different accommodations but his suggestions were always 5 star and are happy we followed his advice. A last minute flight cancellation did not cause any consternation on his part he rearranged everything to make it work. Each of the guides he arranged at each location were most congenial and went out of their way to make sure our trip was effortless on our part. Needless to say our experiences on the actual safari's was incomparable. The guides and rangers spent lots of time finding the wildlife and then positioning us to get the best photos! Sabi was the best but would not have missed Victoria Falls or the Hipos and elephant herds at Chobe.
Already discussing, this time, with friends, to make a return trip...hopefully NO COVID.

Knowledgeable, easy-going, professional
5/5

My family booked the Djuma Big Cat Photo Safari with Legend Safaris from 20 - 24 October 2021. We were in constant communication with Shaheen from the first query and all the way to the date of arrival. He gave us great advice on the best way to get there and the type of lenses we would need.

We stayed at Tumbeta House in Djuma Game Reserve. Tumbeta House offers stunning accommodation with an eye-level hide where we watched elephants drinking under the moonlight on our first night.

Thandi and Lotus took great care of us by providing 3 meals a day and ensuring the kitchen was always stocked with treats for us. If there's one thing to complain about, it's the amount of weight we gained from all the scrumptious food.

Fanoti was our personal driver and tracker. His tracking skills led us to the Talamati Pride resting on a termite mound. In addition to the game drives, he took us on a bushwalk where we learned about the smaller things.

Pravir was our photographic tutor/guide on and off the vehicle. He gave us great tips and tricks on how to photograph wildlife and showed us what to look out for when capturing the beauty of the animals. He shared incredible stories of his adventures. Pravir has a fantastic personality and got on well with our family.

On our drives, we saw lions (Talamati Pride with Dark Mane Avoca), wild dogs (Othawa Pack), Hyaenas (members of the Djuma Clan and Manyeleti), 7 leopards (Nsele Female Leopard, Sibuye Female Leopard, Cara Female Leopard, Tsemba Male Leopard, Tavangumi Male Leopard, Shasha Male Leopard, and Tlalamba Female Leopard), and much much more.

Being a fan of WildEarth, it was a special addition to the trip to see the field guides and cameramen IRL - we have been following them for years.

I highly recommend booking your holidays with Legend Safaris. They are well-organised and professional!

Thank you for the experiences and the memories we have shared with you at Djuma Game Reserve!

The one and only
5/5

Our Safari with African Big cats Safari was just perfect and even exceeded our expectations.
It started with a very great communication around the booking and a tailor made offer by Justice to Lodi picking us up at the airport and spend a 4 day Safari with. Lodi made our trip truly special and we made memories that we will never forget. Lodi always went the extra mile for us to see all animals, take the time to explain us about nature and animals. We highly recommend African Big cats Safari, they are the one and only!!
Also the accommodations that African Big cats Safari works with are amazing, great food, local experience, great service.

Thanks to the whole team of making our trip unforgettable! Thanks for putting your customers at the heart of everything you do.
