The Safari Tour of my choice in Botswana
My family (me, wife and son) with 4 other friends had a wonderful experience with Ulinda Safaris for 14 days in September of 2019. The safari was led by Jane Bettaney and two other guides namely Ngkosi and Tabs.
This is my 3 safari in Botswana and my second time with Ulinda Safaris. The previous safari was a very private one with only me and my son. We had such a good experience so much so we decided to do it again this time with my wife as well.
This time the safari was even better organized than previous as Jane had taken some recommendations that I had made the last time about improving the facilities for photographers. As well as some prior planning as regards to our photographic needs like dream shots of sunrise and sunset with an animal foreground. With Jane’s experience and not forgetting the other two guides Ngkosi and Tabs as well we managed into position each morning and evening to get our dream shots.
Luck or maybe good guiding by our guides, we were having wonderful experience nearly every day to witness some very unique animal sightings and behavior. Like seeing a large pack of lions something like nearly 30 lions all together in one place and seeing large packs of wild dogs most days and even witnessing wild dogs hunting and making the kill.
The organization of the safari was excellent and things went very smoothly throughout the 14 days. The food was surprising good despite the fact that it was a camping trip, and each meal was something we looked forward to. Jane even setup a surprised birthday party in the bush for my wife’s birthday.
Photography is my passion and on this one trip I captured many more photos that I have ever captured in previous safaris, which I would be proud to hang in my photo gallery.
Thank you Ulinda Safaris.

You won't regret it - one of the best experiences in Africa
All Safaries that I found are at least 2-3 days and I believe that there are more things to see on those safaris. If you don't have much time and you are in Zanzibar I would recommend this trip to everyone. For 200$ you get a full day of an unforgettable experience, good lunch, and amazing pictures. You can trust Mwjabu completely!
This is nature so of course, there is a bit of luck and maybe you won't see all the animals (I didn't see lions, rhinos or elephants) but just to be there in Savana is amazing! I was on a trip to 29th Feb and I saw giraffes, zebras, gazelles, antelopes, a lot of monkeys, birds like flamingo or eagles... I was on all possibles trips in Zanzibars and I would say that this one is number one for me!

fantastic！
Our safari guide was Omondi and he could not have been more fantastic! He was a safe driver, keeping us comfortable and always checking in to see that we were having a good time. As a tracker, he was outstanding! We got better viewpoints and experiences than the other safaris out there during our trip, because of his expertise and dedication to finding all kinds of beautiful animals.
We were thrilled to wait and watch as the thousands and thousands of animals gathered by the river. When we saw a gigantic dust plume rise from the river, he knew it was time. We raced along the dirt roads, reaching the riverside cliff from where we could see the beautiful creatures diving down into the crocodile-filled waters and tearing up the other side! It was not only breathtaking, but life-changing. And we had not asked for this, nor would we have known if we'd missed it! He really went above and beyond to make our trip incredible.

Amazing from the start to the end
Will start with the Reservations itself: (Phionah). When booking these types of tours from the US, most will ask that you wire transfer the money or pay the credit card service fee. I got super nervous on this part. After spending 5 days with this company in exchanging mails, I now can safely tell people, don't worry! They are a very reputable company. My surprise was a commitment fee of 40% that made me trust Get to African Wildlife and later paid 60% up my arrival.
Level of service: Our driver, Emmanuel, was great! He picked us up right from the airport, had a sign with our name, and took care of us the entire trip. He was educated, spoke English well, was funny and was there to help us with whatever we needed.
Vehicle: We had anice super-custom typee though looked old model but was well serviced and maintained and we ended up loving it! It was well modified for game viewing, well stocked with full time charging points, rotational seats for enough space for game viewing and surprisingly full time Wi-Fi in the car. The back seat was spacious and I even was able to jump in the third row seat and lay down for a bit if I wanted to. The top lifted off for us to see all of the great animals while driving.
Our driver cleaned it every night for us and made sure we had fresh bottled water each day. Will always recombed them to all my friends and family, Trust Get to Africa Wildlife you will never regret. Great thanks to Emanuel my guide for the great job u did I will always recommend you

Our Guide Charles Was The Best!!!
Our driver and guide Charles was very knowledgable and humourous. The entire trip was fun for us. Charles made sure that we visited the most exciting places and also explained everything to us in detail. Then the wildebeest migration, OMG, it was a beautiful thing to see. Once in a lifetime experience, hoping to catch another one soon. I would give them a 10 out of 5 if I could ;-)

Travelling to Africa has been a dream of mine
Thank you for following up with us on our safari - I must say it was a fabulous trip, in every way surpassing my already high expectations. As you know, travelling to Africa has been a dream of mine and I desperately wanted it all to go well which is why I choose your company, but I was still feeling nervous that something might not go as per plan, after all we would be on a long 2 week safari after all. But barring very minor issues, it was a beautiful experience I will cherish the rest of my life. Thanks for all the planning and arrangements, and also pass my best to our driver Paul who took such good care of us throughout the trip.
And the minor issues?? Well, just the time it took to get to some of the parks because of the poor state of the roads, so next time I'd probably take a flight to some of the parks and have Paul receive us there, and I wasn’t too happy with the Hilton hotel especially compared to the Holiday Inn at the same price [almost] but this was just for the night anyway and these are like I said minor issues. I must say the lodges and all the other accommodation however was marvelous! Especially loved the Larsen’s Camp in Samburu at the end of our safari.
Thanks again for all the work Mr Le - we'll be back to Kenya for sure!

We want to go back this year again!
Sino Africa is a responsible company, they are happy to tell you very thing before your safari. They are professional, happy, patience, and willing to share every details of safari. Our preparation was well, and our safari was excellent. The driver they arranged was professional as well, we felt that the uniqueness if you travel to Thailand and Japan. Here, you will be treated as a friend or family member. I love the safari very much!
We want to go back this year, and have the lovely experience again!

Incredible safari experience
My husband and I went on the 4 day / 3 night safari to Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. It was truly an amazing experience because of the high caliber of our tour guide, Ibra. Sino Africa Safari is an excellent company to work with. When planning our trip, Vincent was tremendously helpful in responding to all our questions very quickly. Our guide, Ibra was so nice to spend time with besides being very knowledgeable and terrific at spotting animals throughout our trip. We saw so much - everything we hoped for and then more (including a leopard). We chose the budget accommodations which worked out beautifully. The mobile camp is a unique experience and highly recommended. Our experience on this safari was truly memorable and we credit Sino Africa Safari for their work to make it so!
