A highly professional, friendly and reliable tour operator who made our South African safari an unfo
We have wonderful memories of our trip to South Africa in September, especially the safaris organised by **Nhlalala Travel**.
Everything was arranged with great care and professionalism. We particularly appreciated their availability, kindness and attention to every detail.
The safaris were an extraordinary experience, filled with amazing discoveries, unforgettable wildlife encounters and many truly emotional moments.
We were able to fully enjoy our trip without having to worry about any of the arrangements.
A huge thank you to the Nhlalala Travel team, especially Norman and Happiness, for making this wonderful adventure possible!
We highly recommend this agency without hesitation. If we ever return to South Africa, we would definitely choose them again!

PEA Tours and Safaris made this 20 day adventure absolutely incredible!
Since this was a 20 day trip, our group of 4 starting planning about one year in advance. The owner and operator of PEA, Prev, was responsive and communicative the whole time. The trip was well organized and tailored specifically for our group. Prev was there to greet us at the airport in Windhoek and guided us through Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. He has a degree in wildlife management and used his extraordinary knowledge of the plants and animals in southern Africa to help us put into biological and social context what we saw along the way. Prev has been guiding a long time and uses that experience to make the trip even better. He knew people at almost every place we went and always received a warm and happy welcome which showed how well-respected and well-liked he is even in the guiding community. Prev's knowledge of the history, ecology, and economy of southern Africa was brought to life by the many stories he shared of growing up in that part of the world. And to top it, he has a wonderful sense of humor and we shared countless laughs and smiles during our tour. I simply can't imagine a better guide for our trip! We got home about 2 weeks ago and I'm still digesting everything we saw and experienced. But a do know with certainty that our trip was way better because we had Prev as our guide. If you're thinking of a trip to Namibia, Botswana, or Zimbabwe, I highly recommend PEA Tours and Safaris!

A fantastic, tailor-made 10-day safari with Rioba Safaris
Our trip around Tanzania with Rioba Safaris was excellent. It was difficult to meet our specific needs for a 10-day safari with standard packages, which is why we were looking for an operator with whom we could arrange tailored activities, accommodation, and transfers. The entire program fine-tuning process with Joseph was very friendly and constructive, and within a few rounds, we reached a result that perfectly met our expectations in terms of both content and price.
The journey through all the national parks, from Lake Victoria to the city of Arusha, was absolutely fascinating. Of course, the main credit goes to our fantastic guide, David, who understood our needs and priorities perfectly and did everything he could to fulfill our wishes. All the wildlife and birds—from elephants and giraffes to lions, leopards, eagles, and tiny, colorful sunbirds—were amazing. David used his years of experience to create wonderful highlights that will stay in our memories for a very long time.
Based on our specific experience, we can highly recommend Rioba Safaris to anyone traveling to this part of Africa.

Excellent, professional ,detail-oriented, and kind. He brought his A game for sure!
Communication by email with Justice Justin was excellent. He was quick to respond and always patient with us. He made all the arrangements and picked Fred as our guide. Fred made sure to meet all our expectations and all our bucket list experiences. We traveled in February to witness the Wildebeest calving in the Serengeti, Fred made sure we witnessed just that, and more. It was truly breathtaking and unforgettable. I can't recommend Africa’s wild Wonders enough, hope to travel with them again.

Great knowledge and very relaxed
We visited three different parks in 6 days. Loved the whole experience. If possible I would choose parks that are close together and do several safaris rather than combining into one. Each day in the same park can be quite different so staying longer in each location is worth it. Loved our guide and his attention to what we wanted.

Lovely!
We travelled all the way from Canada for our African safari, and it truly was the trip of a lifetime! From beginning to end, everything was so well organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Our guide, Adama, was absolutely incredible! His knowledge of the wildlife and surrounding areas was amazing, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with so many other incredible animals! He was also so patient with us taking endless photos and was always happy to help capture amazing pictures of both the wildlife and the two of us together.
One of our favourite memories was a beautiful champagne lunch Adama arranged for us right out in the middle of the African wilderness. It was such a special experience and one of those moments we’ll never forget!
A huge thank you also goes to Liliana, who helped organize our entire trip. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, always available by email and quick to answer any questions we had. She was so sweet and thoughtful, even surprising us with personalized gifts that made everything feel extra special. We especially loved the coffee mugs she gave us! We used them throughout the entire safari, and they were perfect for those chilly early morning game drives.
It’s those thoughtful little touches, along with the incredible wildlife experiences and wonderful people, that made this trip so unforgettable.
We made memories that we’ll cherish forever and couldn’t recommend this company enough. A huge thank you to Adama and Liliana for making our African adventure everything we hoped it would be and more!

Trip of a Lifetime!
Our 21 day, 3 country safari exceeded every expectation that I had! It was truly a trip of a lifetime. The itinerary was well planned and allowed us to experience all the different geographies or regions of Southern Africa.
The game drives were amazing. We saw the Big 5 early in our trip! Just when we thought we had seen it all on our last safari we saw over 300 elephants in less than 3 hours! I believe that our success in seeing so many animals was in large part due to our guide Previous! His knowledge and experience were invaluable.
The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and located near or in some cases in the wildlife areas. Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching animals from the lodges was an experience we'll never forget. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety and fresh local ingredients. Trying local game at every meal added to the overall experience.
I highly recommend PEA Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for an African wildlife experience. The memories, photos, and encounters we had will stay with us forever.

Well-organised family safari and Zanzibar trip with responsive, flexible and caring service.
We are a family of five from Gotland, Sweden, and we travelled with Serengeti Smile on a 14-day safari and Zanzibar trip. Communication was excellent from the start. Fredrik answered our questions quickly and clearly, including practical matters like travel insurance and our route.
Libe was our safari guide and driver, and he was extremely knowledgeable. He found us the animals and shared a lot about nature and wildlife along the way. We saw the Big Five, which was a dream come true for the whole family, including our teenagers.
The hotels were excellent, and the logistics worked smoothly all the way, from the private car between Arusha and Dar es Salaam to the ferry to Zanzibar, where their partner Iddi met us. We warmly recommend Serengeti Smile to other families.

Next to all the big 5, in a day, amazing !
It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Thank you for our guide. At first he did not talked a lot or seemed quite welcoming. But when we arrived next to the animals he was the best! Always finding the best spot for pictures.
The only bad thing is that we couldn't be with our friends. They got in an other car so we couldn't do the safari together.
It was an amazing day. We could see all the big 5 in a day ❤️

Fantastic service and very good planning
Lovely experience. Would highly recommend Altezza for both Safari and Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro hike was fantastic with Musa, Mohammed and Robert, as well as camp master Bildard and chef Albert.
Safari with Christian was top class, saw elephants, lions, buffalo, rhinos and many more
