Everything went seamlessly, even the Covid tests
My husband and I just came back from a month in southern Africa that included four countries, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana Okavango Delta. Our consultant Chris Ronneseth of The Safari Partners was extremely helpful in planning this fairly complicated itinerary that included 9 internal flights and four Covid tests. Everything happened as planned with no major glitches. I am here to tell you that I felt safer in Africa with regard to Covid than I do in my own home state of New Jersey. Covid is taken seriously in all the countries we visited, with daily temperature checks of all personnel and travelers, mask mandates indoors and outdoors in a group, and sanitizers provided and required at the entrance of all stores. Many of the people who interacted with us had been vaccinated and some were eagerly awaiting their vaccines. Everyone took precautions as required by the laws of their countries. We felt very protected on this trip. The lodges and hotels were amazing as well!

Efficient and responsive
I booked all the details of my safari with the help of Vanessa and she was always available for my million questions. I was happy to have someone who had my back even with last minute changes. I loved this trip, Kenya is amazing

Best experience in a lifetime!
This was just awesome!!! It was by far the most indescribable, breathtaking adventure of my life. Our guides Willie and Anton as well as the whole Enosa team of porters, the cook and our beloved waiter Jackson took care of us as if we were their own children. We had so much fun, they encouraged us during our way up, so that the whole team was able to reach the Uhuru peak at day 5 - with a huge smile on our faces and feeling so proud of ourselves! Originally we booked a 7 day trekking, but the guides advised us to shorten the trip to 6 days - because we were doing so well and one day less in that altitude means less stress for our bodies. This was the right decision, no doubt. The food was amazing - I am still wondering how they made that possible on the mountain under these circumstances. If you wonder wheather you should book with Enosa or not - DO IT! There was not a single thing that didn't work out. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

Professional operation with quality guides
This was my 3rd Zambezi river canoe safari and the first with Natureways. I was a bit apprehensive at first as we travelling with our sons on a dad:son trip and had experienced a dangerous encounter previously with a hippo on the river.
However, Kenny, our main guide was super professional and conservative ensuring that we never came close to any harm and that everyone had a fantastic time.
The trip is a "must do" in one of the last untamed outbacks of the world. The proliferation of elephants, crocs, hippos, lions as well a myriad of bird life makes this trip amazing and a joy for all.
Natureways provided a great experience: beautifully positioned camp-sites on the banks of the mighty Zambezi, hearty food and ice-cold drinks at all times. I would highly recommend using them as they know the terrain well and will keep you safe.

Thank you Gondwana for the journey of a lifetime !!! - 100% recommendable
Gondwana Tours & Safaris organized us the trip of a lifetime. We were allowed to fulfill our dream and make a round trip through Tanzania including safari and Zanzibar. The organization of Gondwana, especially by dear Mrs. Steffi Presske, made our trip something very special. Steffi responded to every small adjustment request and always had a suitable solution ready. She always took time for us and was available to us 24/7 during the trip. The choice of accommodations and the on-site safari company in Tanzania were without exception excellent. Our expectations were not only 100% met but exceeded several times. Thank you Gondwana for these great experiences. If we come back it will be with Gondwana Tours & Safari.

Kenya and Tanzania are Magical
We never thought that Kenya and Tanzania are so amazing. I have always seen pictures and videos of safari in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara, and we decided to do it with my friends. We enjoyed all the services offered by Dallago Tours Kenya and Tanzania. We were a group of 5 friends and we got out own landcruiser 4x4 for all the days. At first we were worried about the meals, only to find out we could get great 5 star meals even in the camps.

Excellent choice for safari in Kenya!
Our kenyan adventure was extremely nice due to Peter, our guide who ensured our safety and made us follow an itinerary that helped us see all the animals there were to see: lion, cheetah, leopard, migration of gnus, elephants and many others. Communication with the agency was great and prices were fair. Accomodation in Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara were clean and with great food. Also recommended, the Masai cultural village visit. It's really worth the hype.

Excellent
I had an amazing experience with Jemu Expeditions. I went to Kenya to volunteer at a wildlife conservancy and was hesitant about also going on a safari since I was traveling alone, but after meeting James, I realized that not only would I be extremely safe, but also would be so lucky to go with a true expert and lover of wildlife. James was a ranger for many years, so he's not only a wildlife expert, but he's also a conscious traveler. Every hotel and resort we stayed at, he made sure it was sustainably managed. He loves animals, wildlife, Kenya, and safaris, and he's such a great caretaker of his guests. I would recommend anyone and everyone to safari and travel with James and Jemu Expeditions, wether you go alone or in a big group. I had an AMAZING and life-changing experience, and I hope everyone gets a chance to travel with Jemu!

Exceeded our expectations! Thank you Jessica for a beautiful safari experience!
There is definitely a reason why every review here is 5 stars. Jessica listens to what you want in your safari and will tailor a trip to give you exactly what you desire. Where Dancing Zebra stands out from the rest, Jessica will come back with alternative options for you to consider, and explain what each option will offer you. Not like other companies that may want to give you a standard package tour. Thank you Jessica for all the time spent with us on the phone!
Our safari was specific to Tanzania, starting in Arusha and then to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti and Northern Serengeti. We were fortunate to have Ian as our guide for the entire journey, and after just one day with him, we felt like we were traveling with a friend, not just a guide. Ian's passion for the wildlife was quite evident and he was enjoying the viewing of animals as much as we were. We enjoyed him telling us details about what we were seeing and why the animals were doing certain things. And his ability to spot animals far away is incredible. I'm seeing a dot on the horizon and he is telling me exactly what animal it is!!
The camps Jessica selected for us were perfect. We started at Nykani Camp in Tarangire and then to 3 Lamala camps in Ngorongoro (Lamala Tented Camp), Central Serengeti (Lamala Ewanjan) and Northern Serengeti (Lamala Mobile Tented Camp). They were all somewhat similar in appearance with excellent staff that was eager to please and very personable. We all felt like family. I hope that perhaps we will see them again in a future adventure.
If you are considering a safari, you need to look at Dancing Zebra. If you don't, you may be sorry later.
