Exceeded all expectations!
After searching the internet for a few weeks I came across a short safari from Wilderness Horizon. Communication was quick, friendly and efficient. I feel pricing was more than fair!
Our guide David met us at our hotel in Lusaka with the other David :) and transported us very safely to the Lower Zambezi National Park. After a quick snack and time to unpack in our beautiful chalets we went on an afternoon/evening drive. It was amazing and we saw so many animals. Elephants, lions, wild dogs, impala, a mama lion with her tiny cubs… David was great at finding the animals and so knowledgeable about them all. We came back to the chalets and had an wonderful meal! The chef for our safari cooked great meals the entire trip!
Our accommodations were fantastic and we all slept soundly and comfortably at night. The next day we went on a long game drive and saw so much more. From Lions, to a cheetah and it’s kill (hidden in the thicket) to beautiful birds and everything in between. Absolutely incredible.
Our last morning there we went on a river cruise to an island for lunch. So neat to be having lunch with elephants in the distance and to be boating with schools of hippos alongside the boat.
I would definitely recommend David and his team at Wilderness Horizon Safaris! You won’t be disappointed

SUPERB SERVICE! VERY SMOOTH OPERATION.
4 day luxury lodge safari - What can I say? I had the trip of a lifetime! I contacted Polecat through safari bookings. It's hard as you just don't know what you're getting until you arrive, especially as a lone traveller. I booked around 4 weeks in advance. James was my point of contact he sent me the brochure through WhatsApp, he was the first to respond to my enquiries out of all of the other providers which reassured me. He was not pushy and there is no hard sell! I was a very nice booking experience. I chose the luxury 4 day Safari. He arranged transfers from the airport to Arusha and met me at the first hotel. From then everything went so smoothly. I paid a 10% deposit when booking and paid the rest in cash $ when I arrived. James was kind enough to take me for lunch to a nice local restaurant so I had a nice meal on arrival. Simon my guide for the 4 days was just incredible.
A chef came for 2 of the days and the food was great. Simon was very knowledgeable and went over and above to ensure we saw the BIG 5! And we did! It truly was a trip of a lifetime and I can't thank Polecat enough for everything they did to make it special! I recommend the luxury package over the cheaper tents as it gets very cold at night and the luxury lodges are an amazing experience. Take some hoodies for the evenings. The trip is spectacular! Enjoy!

Masai Mara Safari. A trip to remember.
This was our 2nd tour with gates adventure safaris and as before everything was well planned. From Nairobi we went to Masai and checked in to the luxury camp called Ashnil Mara. Bernard was our tour guide and had a very good knowledge about the area and we saw a lot of animals like elephants, cheetah, hyena, hippopotamus and giraffe. We will be definitely coming back here again and looking forward for our next trip with Gates Adventure Safaris. - Milinda Michael Rodrigo from Sri Lanka

Informative, polite, patient and the best guide and driver we could ask for!
The tour was very interesting and fun our tour guide Kenedy was the best! He was very informative, polite and patient and he provided us the best experience possible. Due to his superior driving skills we could experience a lot in our short time in Tanzania . I would definitely recommend him as a guide, It was wonderful .

The best tour operator in Kenya!
After contacting several Tour Operator Companies in Kenya for a safari at Maasai Mara, I settled for Silvach Adventures. Reason, their detailed responses to my never-ending queries. Robert and the team were amazing throughout the whole process.
They made our 5-days visit to Maasai Mara the best and unforgettable. The vehicle they gave us was the best and the driver was very engaging and knowledgeable. We saw lots of animals at a very close range. Simply put, the guide was just amazing!
Accommodation and meals, one word, AWESOME-five star!
We had an incredible, life-changing experience at an extremely affordable price. No doubt Silvach Adventures is my Tour Operator for all my next safaris! Next one coming up in early 2023!

Genuine East Africa Experience, top Hospitality, Friendliness and unimaginable Wildlife
Tanzania checks all the boxes if you desire an authentic cultural and safari experience. The Original Maasai Lodge north-east of Arusha provides a luxury accommodation and excellent cuisine along with in depth Maasai cultural experiences. Arusha National Park has beautiful vegetation and animals viewing in a place with fewer visitors. The Maturuni Waterfalls and nearby coffee making excursion is an enjoyable day trip with a stop at the Chemka Hot Springs delivers a refreshing dip in the not so hot but crystal clear lovely water. The highlight of the 11 day time spent in northern Tanzania is a visit to Serengeti National Park. Although the trek to the endless plains is dusty and bumpy in the sturdy safari vehicle, the reward is in the amazing wildlife and scenery. The number of animals is mind boggling, with close encounters with lions, elephants, hippos and cheetah. Our safari tour operator Tanzania Porcupine Expedition took extreme care with us to have the best possible experience. The communication and attention to detail was incredible. Our four day safari also included Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater along with the epic time in Serengeti National Park. The mid September trip featured warm mostly sunny days and virtually no precipitation. All in all, Tanzania is a special place and visit.
