Well organized, once a lifetime experience
We made a individual 7 day safari and spent two nights in Amboseli, one night in Lake Nakuru and three nights in Masai Mara.
During booking process Noah usually answered very quick and made all the reservations for us (including our self chosen accommodation)
The whole safari was just amazing and a once a lifetime experience. Our driver and guide Dennis always did his best job to spot the animals and get us in the perfect position to make some awesome pictures. If there was something going on, he could drive like a formula 1 pilot, but we still felt safe every time. Each game drive was something special and we could tell him our wishes and thoughts. In the end we saw all the animals, we just missed a black rhino, which is hard to spot. On the other side there were lions, cheetahs, a beautiful leopard and many many more.
So there was actually nothing to complain about. Sometimes dennis got a lot of phone calls, but this seems to be normal in Kenya.
We would definitely recommend this tour again. Just wow!

Fantastic tour/trip of a lifetime
Totally recommend! The tour was top notch, excellent service from start to finish. I traveled solo and never had a worry. Sam and Don were excellent guides— personable, knowledgeable and more than competent. The trip was an excellent value, but I had first class service. I saw the African five several times over, and many more animals and sites. Just go!

Remarkable and truly amazing
Every aspect of this trip was nothing short of spectacular. The staff at each lodge and camp we stayed at were gracious and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about the Wito team, they were there every step of the way from the initial booking to end when we flew home. This safari and everyone involved far exceeded my expectations. Asante Sana to Wito African Safaris!

Perfect 20th anniversary celebration thanks to Brillant Adventures
We really appreciated Julieth’s hard work organizing our week long safari visiting Tarangire, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From the moment Joshua picked us from the airport, we were well taken care of especially when they made sure we got our delayed luggage. Thanks to Joshua’s expertise, we saw everything we wanted to and had a lot of fun doing so. The jeep was very comfortable and the lunches provided (especially the first meal by Brillant) were delicious. The An’gata tented camp at Tarangire was beautiful and the one at Ngorongoro gave us an early start at the crater. We splurged on 2 nights at the Melia Serengeti and it was worth it! Mixing the lodge and tent experience was the best of both. We’d highly recommend Brillant and loved our time in Tanzania.

One of the best guides ever!
Had the absolute best time in Uganda. Speke organized a safe and fun trip and we feel lucky to have gotten paired up with the best guide in all of Uganda. Africano was very knowledgeable and genuine, really making our trip special. We highly recommend this company and their team!

Experienced, local, run by a trustworthy professional.
In October 2023 three friends and I had the absolute pleasure of doing a 7 day safari in Botswana with Walking Sticks Travel & Tours. The great service began before we left Australia as we emailed to and fro asking questions and clarifying details about the trip and were provided with all the info we needed by the very helpful Kealeboga James. It was a mobile safari which meant we camped in 4 different areas. As such, we got to see different landscapes and animals through Okavango Delta, Khwai Community Area, Savute area and Chobe National Park. I arrived in Maun the day before our tour started but still I was greeted at the airport by Walking Sticks manager Phillimon who drove me to my hotel. He immediately struck me as a polite and respectful person and as we spent the week in his care he proved to also be professional, humble, flexible, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable with regard to flora, fauna and all things nature. He was supported by a terrific, hardworking team including Chef 'Prince' (a funny fellow), another expert guide, and multi-skilled back-up people who did everything from poling the Mokoro canoes to setting up tents and completing many tasks required to look after our needs so all the hard work was done for us. Our tour began with an enthralling Mokoro trip through the beautiful pristine wetlands where we were amongst hippos, crocs, elephants and birds. Mokoro's are the main form of transport and our camping spot was inaccessible by road and located in a shady nook near the water where we could view elephants and hear the sounds of nature (eg lion's roaring) day and night. Our tents with en-suite were adequate and we enjoyed the food and gin & tonic 'sundowner's whilst watching the gorgeous sunsets. Each day we spent hours game viewing either on foot or by jeep and Phillimon had a gift at being able to track and locate all manner of wildlife including lion, hyena, wild dogs, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, baboon, leopard and a variety of antelope and birds. We learnt so much as he imparted his knowledge of their behaviour and the landscape. All our campsites were different and in lovely settings. If you are a person who loves nature and living amongst it, can be up at sunrise every day and handle the challenges of dusty, bumpy roads and hot weather (October) then this tour is for you. It is one of the most memorable experiences in my 40 years of traveling. Thank you so much to Phillimon - your integrity is a true asset. Walking Sticks is a small, locally owned and run business and deserves the highest praise.

Unforgettable memories in our lifetime
First time travelling to Africa, Silver Spark Africa Safaris gave us confidence for the whole journey. On the first day we met, we were given a warm welcome. Everything was well organised and arranged, our adventure went very smooth.
We had booked a 11-day Kenya & Tanzania safari trip. We really appreciated Abongo, who always keep us updated for all the arrangement and our tour guide, David in Kenya & Waziri in Tanzania. They are very professional and knowledgeable about the wildlife in Africa. We were lucky to see the big five.
We had an incredible time with Silver Spark. After our safari trip, we went to South Africa. They were very caring about our journey and were willing to offer any assistance to us. We would recommend Silver Spark to everyone, who are looking for the best safari experience. Once again, thank you for bringing the unforgettable memories in our lifetime.

Stress Free Transfer to Kruger
Booked as part of a tour from Joburg to Kruger - Safari Link was the company used by the tour operater to provide the transfers from OR tambo airport to Hazyview. Transportation arrived on time as stated. Buses comfortable with air con and comfortable seating. Adequate stop time to go to the toilet and grab some food on the journey. Drivers very responsible and friendly. Good value for money.
