Unforgettable Tanzania Safari
Gecko Adventure Tanzania has now become our go to operator for all our holidays in Tanzania for their outstanding service. Rama spared no effort to ensure that our trip was special. He did not compromise on any aspect of our safari. Baraka our guide kept us safe, interested and fully captivated as we explored the parks. We saw all the big five and the wildebeest migration which was the highlight of our safari.
The choice of lodges was excellent, in particular the Four Seasons Hotel in Serengeti was magical.
We will definitely take another trip with Gecko Adventure Tanzania

Amazing Safari in Nyerere with Shammah, Justin and El Hakeem
We had an amazing safari experience with Shammah Wonders! Justin did an excellent job of organizing the safari for us. He was very responsive and extremely patient in accommodating our customization requests until we came with the perfect plan. Our guide El Hakeem was just amazing. With a bachelor degree in wild life management, he's an expert in the fauna and flora of East Africa. He made our safari unforgettable with his enthusiasm, easy going attitude and patience with all our requests. He has so much experience as a safari guide and I can't recommend him enough.
We did a 4 days safari with two game drives, a boat tour, a bush walk and a bunch of other activities. We were so lucky to spot most animals on our first game drive which was one of the most memorable days of our lives. El Hakeem was so good in tracking animals and going off-trail to spot them. Those amazing off-trail escapades were really the highlight of the safari! But the rest was all great, from the two lodges we stayed in to the picnic meals during our game drives. I can't recommend enough Shammah, Justin and El Hakeem.

Expertly organised tours with a big heart!
Went on safari to Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. Kipe organised everything efficiently and with lots of care and attention. The tour itself was amazing. The accommodation was stunning. Nothing was too much trouble. The service was excellent and Kipe advised us expertly on everything (he even arranged flights for us). Kipe is a very experienced guide and will kindly advise you on how to get the best out of your trip and where to go. He is also involved in several projects and gives back to the community. On top of this, his tours are amazing value for money. He is totally reliable and goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure his clients are happy. I could not recommend more highly.

The entire experience was great - the guide, the animals, the campsite…
The preparation was very easy, and the service was door to door. Our guide, Toni, was great at knowing where the lions were napping, and the hippos bathing. He did not merely show us the animals, though. He shared so much information about Kenya and its culture. He was a perfect guide, in my opinion - to be highly recommended.

Fantastic Safari
This was our second booking with Wildebeest Safaris and we can absolutely recommend this company. They always responded very quickly via email and WhatsApp. We did a 3 day private tour and took a flight to Muslara Airstrip, where we were picked up from. Also our camp (Mara Crossing Camp) was amazing! Overall we had a great safari experience even though we did not see all of the big five, so we will have to come back for that.

Absolutely fantastic experience
I had an 8-day adventure covering Nairobi, Amboseli NP, Nakuru NP, Naivaha Lake, Mt. Longonot, and Masai Mara NP. Our driver, Toni, was incredibly professional and attentive. Imelda provided invaluable support throughout the planning process. A highlight was the unforgettable sunset aperitif organized for us in Amboseli. Highly recommended tour agency!

Top-Notched service from Natasha at Sun Safaris
Natasha has been exceptionally patient, enthusiastic and resourceful in dealing with this safari booking. It took over 3 years and more than 150 email messages for this trip to materialize. The original booking was made prior to the pandemic with deposit held by Sun Safaris. Natasha was able to put together a wonderful 10 day luxurious African safari within a reasonable budget, beating the price of big bus premium tour.
We travelled as a multi-generational family of 6 , from age 9 years to age 79.
We had a superb time in South Africa and we made a lot of good and fond memories.
Overall , everything was top notch and all the transfers were seamless and the drivers were on time.
We especially like all the accommodations that were suggested by Natasha. Each has its pros and slight cons.
Victoria and Alfred hotel, Capetown for its location- at the waterfront , you can't beat that. So near all the restaurants and attractions.
Shimungwe Lodge, Thornybush Reserve- Great for family as we can have the whole resort to ourselves except for one night. Exceptional food and game viewing. We are able to see all the big 5 for 2 days.
Slight cons- ants infestation outside 2 of our rooms ( I think this can be dealt with). It will be nice to have bathroom slippers and bath robes as the nights can be cold. In addition , if the lodge can offer free local beer, drinks and liqueurs that we really differentiate it and make it a high end luxury resort . That is only because we were able to compare with lodges that we went to 15 years ago eg Mhondoro lodge , Madikwe safari lodge and Thakadu camp. They were all recommended by Sun Safaris.
Victoria Falls Safari Suite, Zimbabwe - Beautiful and unusual hotel. The 2 bedroom suites were really nice. We love the all inclusive package.
Special mention - we really enjoyed the sunset cruise on the Zambezi Explorer esp with the all inclusive drinks and canapes. This makes it more exclusive and luxurious.

Super professional tour operator
I had the most incredible 8-day safari experience with this tour operator, exploring Nairobi, Amboseli National Park, Nakuru National Park, Naivasha Lake, Mt. Longonot, and Masai Mara National Park. The tour was fully tailor-made to our preferences, making it a truly personalized adventure.
The standout feature of this experience was the exceptional service provided by the team. Imelda who made our itinerary displayed an impressive level of professionalism and genuine helpfulness. Not only did she expertly organize our tour, but she also provided invaluable support when we encountered a visa-related issue. Her assistance made our trip seamless and stress-free.
Our driver Toni was incredibly professional and attentive to our every need. He ensured that we felt comfortable and safe throughout the journey. The vehicle provided, a spacious 4x4 mini van, was not only comfortable and reliable, but it was also immaculately maintained. Each evening, Toni diligently cleaned both the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
Despite the high quality of service, their prices were more than reasonable, offering incredible value for the unforgettable experience we had. I wholeheartedly recommend this agency to anyone seeking a memorable and well-organized safari adventure. From the itinerary planning to the on-ground support, they exceeded all expectations.
