Incredible experience with outstanding guide.
I'm an experienced traveler having been to 46 countries. This was my third trip to Africa where I'd visited 7 countries but not been to Namibia yet. I discovered Nature Travel Namibia through Safari Bookings and couldn't be more pleased. One never knows quite what to expect when trying a new company. What a wonderful surprise this was. Nick Buys has an infectious love and knowledge of his country and wildlife. We made a last minute decision to travel. With such short notice, he was able to arrange for everything we wanted and was flexible as the trip progressed. Accommodations were superior with wonderful meals. We were on a safari trip, but my boyfriend is also a birder. Nick knows his birds and got me hooked on them too. All future trips to Africa will be with his company. I've recommended him to all my friends. I know he also leads birding trips elsewhere and we will definitely go with him.

Authentic and Personalized Experience!
My husband and I did the 7 day, 6 night Kruger safari with Wild Planet, and they really surpassed our expectations. We had the best time! Thale was so helpful when we booked, especially with the wire transfer, which was nerve wracking and not entirely straightforward due to South African banking rules. We picked Wild Planet because we wanted an authentic and personal experience, and we felt we got exactly that. I cannot even convey the wealth of knowledge Ryan has about every plant and animal. He knows every inch of Kruger - where specific animals hang out and tricks to help increase your chances of animal sightings. We felt like they respected the park, its rules, and its wildlife. It felt like we had an insider's view of the park, which was awesome! The entire safari was built around our interests and desires. It was truly an authentic and personal experience - something you don't get with the larger safari companies. We wouldn't hesitate to send any of our friends and family to Wild Planet and we plan to book with them again in the future.

Okavango Safari
We had a fabulous time at Kwara and Lebala and saw an astonishing diversity of wildlife in a very short period of a few days. The Little Kwara and Lebala camps were first rate, and the morning and afternoon activities made all that much better by the experienced guides. I would recommend this combination of safaris (Kwara and Lebala) to anyone, and we are really grateful to Encompass Africa for their recommendations in Botswana and Zimbabwe (Safari Lodge) and organising our itinerary. Overall a fantastic experience.

Wonderful safari experience with kind and knowledgeable guide
My 19 year old son and I traveled to Kenya and Rwanda through Hallmark. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide Gordon was always prompt. He was very knowledgeable about the locations we traveled to, the animals we encountered and he knew how to help us get the best experience that we wanted out of our trip. Hallmark was always ready to answer my many questions that I asked prior to the trip.

Professional and Perfect Service Time and Time Again
We have been running climbing trips to Kilimanjaro along with safaris for close to 7 years with Snow Africa Adventures and the level of service is certainly nothing but excellent. The mountain guides, cooks, porters and safari guides have always been out going, courteous and have shown nothing but the utmost level of respect and professionalism. I have personally been working with Florent and his team for many years and the level of service, care and attention to detail is what keeps us tied to Snow Africa Adventures. This most recent trip I had the chance to bring my friends and family along and it was such a pleasure to be working again with Florent and many of the same faces as years past. The team is very well organized, always attentive to the needs of the group and have plenty of years of experience to draw from whether its on the mountain or on a safari. I cannot recommend enough the level of luxury, care and quality of service one will receive with Snow Africa Adventures. If you are looking for a custom trip that feels intimate and has all the comforts that one would need on the mountain, safari or beach then look no further than Snow Africa Adventures.

Great Safari experience
Tanzania is an amazing country for a safari and ours did not disappoint. In the company of Emanuel, a very good and knowledgeable guide, we spent 8 days visiting the main National Parks in the northern part of the country.
Regional Tours offers a great value for mid-range safaris, picking top quality lodges and tented camps which are actually more on the luxury side. I was pleasantly surprised with all the aspects of the trip and definitely recommend Emanuel as a Safari guide.
I've given 5 stars because the service during the trip was excellent. Service pre-trip needs to improve as communication is difficult and I was more than once left with a response to simple questions. This didn't really affect the rest of the trip - a brilliant one!
Recommended.

Perfect Safari to Chobe which ran smoothly at all stages
We were offered a cheaper last minute rate to go on a 1 day 1 night safari to Chobe national park from Livingstone. Everything from the transfer to the safari itself ran seamlessly. Chobe national park is beautiful and we were lucky enough to see 3 of the big 5. The campsite was idyllic and the tents spacious and comfortable. I have Seen many a beautiful starry nights before but I have never seen stars quite like the ones we saw here.. Nothing short of awesome. The guide, TK, was both knowledgable and enterntaining. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone hoping to visit Chobe national park from Livingstone.

Really great safari with great company!
Booked at last minute having been scammed by another company. Robert was an excellent communicator who arranged a 9 day safari in 48 hours! (Fortunately he had availability). Everything about the trip was excellent. Picked up at airport; taken to hotel for one night stay; picked up following morning for magical safari where we saw the big 5 plus much, much more. Driver/guide was Anthony who was excellent. Friendly; well informed on wildlife; very good driver. A pleasure to spend 9 days in his company!
I have no hesitation in recommending Beacon Safaris as a thoroughly professional and competent company and also highly recommend Anthony as an excellent guide!

An amazing experience
We contacted Uzuri Safaris to arrange our 8 days safari holiday to Uganda and from the get go, Edris, who we were in communication with at the office throughout the arrangement of the trip was very professional; responding to emails quickly and answering all our queries regarding the trip. Once we got to Uganda, we fell in love with everything – the people, food, wildlife and the scenery and a lot more. Our driver/guide who spoke perfect English and knew all the places we visited like the back of his hand did a wonderful job and we are very grateful to him for making our trip enjoyable. The highlight was the 1-hour we spent with the Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi – what an experience! The accommodations that were selected from the hotel in Kampala, the lodge in Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park and in Bwindi were clean and comfortable. To sum it all up, we had a wonderful time in Uganda
