Sister Safaris had great choices, excellent service, extremley organised with a personal touch.
Taking full advantage of South Africa going down to level 1 lockdown and the kids being on school holiday, we treated ourselves to a weekend away. Its always difficult to find the right fit for our family, having 4 kids aged 19, 15, 8 and 4 each having very different personalities, hobbies etc so trying to please all three is no easy task. We saw an advert online for Sister Safaris and made an inquiry....Sarah Jane went above and beyond, we were given various options at rates no where else could beat. We chose as a family and had the greatest time.
We even got a little goodie bag when we booked ! Such a great personal touch.
Will definitely use them for our next trip.

Such a great experience with so many kind and helpful staff.
Since the moment I arrived all the staff (safari guides, cooks and the tour operator customer assistant) were so kind and friendly!
They really tried their best to let us see the big 5 and get the most of our time!
Their lodge was exceptional and very clean.

We had a wonderful experience booking our trip with Sister Safaris. Everything ran smoothly and was efficiently organised. There was a great line of communication the whole time if we had any questions. We felt like we were in good reliable hands and were getting the best value for our money. Great holiday! Would do it again!

Sister Safari's went above and beyond to make myself and my girlfriend's trip one of the most memorable. Would recommend them to anyone planning any safari in the future!

Great experience
We've booked a 12-days tour in Kenya and Tanzania with Wild Race Africa Tours. Our route was Nairobi - Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru - Masai Mara - Serengeti - Ngorongoro - Lake Manyara - Amboseli - Nairobi.
First we hesitated because of the pandemic situation we are living right now - but we didn't regret our desicion. Simon answered all our questions we had prior to the journey and with Alex we had the perfect guide in Kenya. Alex wellcomed us at the airport and cared very good for us. He is a great troubleshooter and you are lucky to have him as a guide. We've learned a lot about the places we've visited and about the country and its people. Also in Tanzania we had a great guide with China and his son Shidi.
We were concerned about the border crossing Kenya-Tanzania-Kenya, but with the help from our guides everything went smoothly. For every border crossing a negative PCR test was required, as well for the return flight from Kenya to Europe. So keep in mind to calculate the waiting time for the results.
We booked a budget tour, but at some places we upgraded to a mid range lodge. It's great that you can customize your tour the way you like it. Normally we are individual travelers - it was our first experience with a organized tour. We enjoyed to just sit back - and don't worry about were to sleep or eat next. The organization was perfect - the food was yummy - the lodges were fine too! So we could 100% focus on the beautiful nature and spotting wild animals.
If you think about doing a safari in this complicated times, but you're unsure about all the covid regulations - I really recommend to do it. Of course it's a bit more complicated and bureaucratic - but it definitely is worth!

Unvergessliche 3 Tage Safari in Serengeti und Ngorongoro
All in all, it was a great and unique experience that everyone should have!
From booking to implementation, everything went perfectly. Humphrey answered all of our questions about our trip in advance and made it possible for us to run smoothly.
Due to all the incoming tourists, we only got out of the airport after more than two hours. Nevertheless, our driver Mr.T was extremely understanding and always friendly.
He always had an open ear and helped us with every one of our concerns. E.g. we wanted to have a SIM card for the vacation in Tanzania. Despite the fact that we had a long excursion to Materuni Village (highly recommended) and it was already late when we got back, he went out of his way to get us a map. So in the evening a lady came to us at the lodge and we got our SIM :)
We also got a briefing for the next day every evening.
After our excursion on the first day to the Materuni Village, where we visited a breathtaking waterfall and attended a coffee ceremony, the safari started. Camping in the middle of the wilderness is an experience in itself that is and will remain unforgettable! Our guide Msupa was simply an asset and we all saw the Big Five :)
The food was delicious, but vegetarians and vegans should explicitly say what they want. Otherwise, every meal is served the same.
Still, the safari was just beautiful!
Thanks to the whole team of the Cubs Expeditions for an incomparable experience in Tanzania ❤️

Simon was great in helping organize and arrange everything for our 5 day private safari. He even arranged something special as we were celebrating an engagement. Our driver/guide Daniel really made the trip too. Very knowledgeable and friendly and was always quick to get us towards the animals we most wanted to see.
The value for our money was great and next time we are looking to book a safari would book again

Namibia: Lark Journeys is the BEST!
I booked a 10-day Private Tour with Lark Journeys. I am a very discerning traveler that books many corporate and personal trips for my boss, so I have tons of experience with agents and companies, but booking in Africa can be tricky. Lark Journeys was professional and thorough from the first email. Claire was very quick with her responses (even though a 6-hour time zone difference). She answered ALL my questions (and I had a lot of them). As a solo female traveler, she understood some of my concerns about safety and addressed them all. She prepared for me trip that checked all my must-haves and made great recommendations every step of the way.
Greg was my host and guide and I could not have asked for anyone better to show me Namibia. He is patient, thoughtful and delivers excellent customer service. We had great chats as we traveled down the road or sometimes he allowed me to just soak in the beauty of Namibia's ever-changing landscapes. I always felt safe with him driving hours down dirt roads and I cannot say enough good things about him and Lark!
If you have never been to Namibia, run don't walk to plan a trip! If you are looking for a top-notch company to help you plan, I cannot recommend Lark Journeys more highly as they over delivered a most spectacular holiday for me! Namibia has so much to offer, from games drives, to amazing sunsets, to other-worldly landscapes that don't stop impressing you. You get so much more than 'just a safari' with Namibia and with Lark you get excellence at planning your great adventure!
