Fantastic
We were lucky enough to travel with Manny, our Dream Tanzania Safaris guide; Thanks to his amazing optimism, friendliness and professionalism, he gave us an amazing experience.
The lodging, service, timing and Transport were impeccable!
The 6day safari exceeded expectations in all regards and our visit to an authentic Masai market was eye-opening.
He perfectly understood our needs and provided the best service we could’ve wished for.
The roads could do with some work but didn't stop us from enjoying our “safari”.

The Best Way To Unravel the Hidden Gems In Tanzania
This was my second time in Tanzania but the first for my husband, I have to accept that Ramadhan is a great host. It took months of correspondence to plan this trip, and all this time he was available and open to our suggestions.
Everything was well arranged from the timely transfers, excellent lodges, a well serviced 4x4 off-roader and above all an amazing guide who accompanied us all through the week-long exploration adventure.
It was a fascinating time in the parks, each unique and special with different animals and habitats. We also visited the Hehe Kingdom Museum in Iringa.
In the end we did not want to return back home because the trip went very fast.

Beyond our expectations
The trip was everything we expected and more. As a photographer I wanted to experience the true nature of Kenya and Keron looked after everything to make our experience truly unique. Kenny booked all our hotels and organized the trips and accommodations, he also made great recommendations for us on the trip. Pascal our driver was awesome and he always got us to the animals fast so we got to spot lions, leopards and everything else almost daily. He knew the park roads well and accommodated our needs at all times. I would definitely recommend Keron for anyone considering a Safari with a trusted company. Also consider flying into some of the parks as the roads can be very long and are rough, a short flight from Maasai Mara back to Nairobi was well worth the extra costs.

Professional and caring. Good information and follow up provided
The communications with the operator was good. We got a change of travel dates due to COVID, and they were able to accommodate our changes with little fuzz
The driver was very knowledgeable and pleasant, answering our million questions with a flair
Even though we travelled significant distances between the parks, the car was comfortable and the drives interesting
All venues were arranged and nothing came unexpected
A super experience I would highly recommend!

An outstanding tour and travel company in Africa
Kubwa Five Safaris is a reliable source for all your travel needs; not only they being a reliable source but they provide excellent travel services as well.
We booked with them for a trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park, and we had a trip of a lifetime.
Activities were well arranged and we greatly every activity. The game drives and boat ride were outstanding; I saw animals that I had never seen.
We really like the hotel booked for us, Engiri safari lodge was great hotel with great customer care, and the meals were delicious. The lodge is in the middle of the park, and you get to see animals anytime passing by, elephants were grazing besides our lodge and one of the nights buffaloes grazed from the same place. I enjoyed seeing them grazing at a very close distance.
Thank you for an outstanding vacation to Queen Elizabeth National Park that you gave us.
We will book with you again in future; you guys are the best travel company in Uganda.

Fantastic, knowledgeable and jovial!
I submitted inquiries to several tour guides and Jocky Tours responded in a few hours. I was looking for a tour guide for a family of 6 (2 grand-parents, 2 parents, 2 kids), and Jocky tours offered the best deal for 2 nights. Communication with Minneh was professional and everything was explained clearly. One thing I liked is their flexibility- we encountered issues getting to Nairobi and had to move our tour in a day's notice. Adjustments were made quickly! We stayed at Lenchada camp. Our tents had very comfortable beds, they were clean, the toilets flushed and there was hot water for showering. All of our meals were tasty and every member of my family ate heartily! Helen made sure we were always comfortable!
Our tour guide was Khalifa, and he was phenomenal! He picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi, and from the time I began communicating with him, he made sure my family and I felt relaxed. He also had the carseat I wanted for my toddler. Right from Nairobi, he began sharing information and his knowledge on major attractions in Nairobi! The drive to Maasai Mara was over 5 hours, and he kept my family and I were entertained with his knowledge of Kenya. We had great conversations throughout! Khalifa knew the park very well and he made sure we saw almost all types of wildlife at Maasai Mara including the elusive leopard! He had so much knowledge about the animals, the park, the Maasai people, and Kenyan culture and politics. He shared all this during our 3 days together, and my family felt like we gained a new family member by the time he dropped us off in Nairobi! One other thing we really liked about Khalifa was that he was such a careful yet efficient driver! Khalifa helped create the kind of experience we were hoping for during our safari tour- we had an enriching yet relaxed time!

Perfectly planned
Recently returned from a 9 day trip to South Africa (April 2022) that covered game watching in Kruger, Wine tasting in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch and fabulous Cape Town and Cape Point. As a solo traveler with limited time, it was important to find a travel agent-who would work with me. Safety is always a part of my planning. Tanja (African Savanna Travel) covered all the bases and more. She put together an itinerary that included all my requests -at very short notice. Although I only overnighted in Joburg before catching my flight to Kruger, Tanja had arranged a local guide, Gavin, to meet me on my arrival and take me to my hotel. She also arranged all the internal transfers. She checked daily with my guides throughout the tour.
I wanted to include a couple of hikes/walks as well as a museum visit in Cape Town-She found the Ideal guide in Machiel-He is an avid hiker as well a lifelong resident of Cape Town. He was also my guide in the wine country tour. With his knowledge of the history of Cape Town, local food joints, the wineries, art and the Cape’s lovely flora and fauna and the best views, (and the best parking spots), he made my visit to Cape Town memorable
Thanks for arranging a fantastic trip Tanja, I plan to return. Highly recommend Tanja ((African Savanna Travel) for your personalized tours in Southern Africa.

Great trip, very professional and friendly
We went for. 3-days trip in Maasai with Isaac, excellent and careful driver. We always felt very safe. Isaac is friendly, funny, knows very well the best spots and animals’ behavior. The Lenchada camp was friendly, food was healthy, the tented rooms were charming. We saw list of animals. The so called rainy season is less busy with tourists and the landscapes after rain are awesome. We hilghly recommend this reasonably priced package
