Easy reachability and quick and clear answers prior travels and during travels. Honest and service minded. During our travel we needed to make some adjustments in our plans due to flooding in Kruger and African Travels employee Marieke was spot on with her help. African Travels is easy going to fulfill your wishes.

Go ahead, Live life!
Thank you Abner for planning a life-changing safari vacation!
I highly recommend Ongeri Expeditions to anyone looking to book a safari or vacation in Kenya. Abner was there for me right from the start all the way until we got back home. Some of the flights I had booked myself did not go smoothly, but Abner took care of booking road transfers to get us to our first camp near Amboseli without delay. We packed a lot into 7 days, Amboseli, Masai Mara and Diani beach. We just loved every minute of it!

A Safari Tour of Lifetime
This was our first Africa trip and I can say it was the most amazing experience ever. We booked with Bison 2 Months before and Maggie our planner was very helpful. Charles, our guide was amazing. He went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly, he knows everything about animals and gave us a lot of information about local culture. I would highly recommend

A super professional, caring, and attentive company! Amazing value for money!
Wow, where do I start! Our 5 day safari experience with Msangai Adventure was out of this world! Me and my wife just finished the tour yesterday, and we came for Calving Season of the Wildebeest. On our trip, we covered Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP (Ndutu Area), Ngorongoro Crater & Lake Manyara NP. Honestly, from start to finish, the iternary was perfectly planned! We were picked up from JRO Airport after landing and taken to our hotel in Arusha . The driver was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about Tanzania along the way. After arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by Eric (one of the company owners) who introduced himself and gave us a briefing about the safari followed by us asking him any questions / addressing any concerns we had. He answered everything we needed to know, and due to us being vegan, he made it very clear that he had informed all the lodges about our dietary requirements to ensure we had suitable food! He even made sure the hotel we were staying at for the first night, which we booked ourselves, knew about our dietary requirements, which was very helpful. The following day, we were picked up and greeted by our tour guides, who were James and Emmanuel. These guys from the get-go were super friendly and very welcoming! They explained again what we would be doing and informed us about every stop off a long the way to our safari experience. When we pulled up to get fuel, Eric also came to meet us again to send his best wishes for our trip and made sure again that we were comfortable and happy with everything. We then set off to our first destination, which was Tarangine NP. The safari jeep was amazing! It was very spacious , comfortable, and clean. It had many pockets on the chairs to store your phones / cameras / gadgets etc ... and it had charging points, which were handy! We had an unlimited supply of bottled water , and the drivers got me a few beers while my wife had some soft drinks for us to enjoy on our game drives. Both James & Emmanuel were so easy to get on with and talk to. Their English was so good, and we all understood each other very clearly. If we ever had a question, they always had an answer or would try to find out. The drives between parks can be hours long, so it's very important that you feel comfortable around your drivers, and we spoke about many things while joking along the way. We learnt a lot about Tanzania culture from them , and they were very interested in our lifestyle / culture too! Across all of the parks, we were so blessed to see 4 of the big 5 (we only missed seeing a leopard). We literally saw Zebra's , wildebeest, lions , lionesses, cheetahs, giraffes , elephants, buffalos , gazelles, ostriches, baboons , various monkeys , various birds & we even saw two black rhinos which is super rare! I know the drivers can't guarantee what you will see, but they made sure we got to all the right places to have the best chance! We always felt safe and confident in their driving, too , and they always got us as close as allowed to the animals for unreal photos / videos. The lodges we stayed in across the 5 days were unbelievable, too! The 1st night was at Marera Valley Lodge , 2nd & 3rd were at Serona Ndutu Mobile Camp, and the 4th night was at a sister lodge to Marera. The food at all lodges was so good! And due to Eric letting each place know we were vegan in advance, they had special dishes prepped, especially for us! Each day, you would get a packed lunch for your gane drive as well, which normally included fruit , bread/sandwich, juice , water, and some veg & rice. The staff at all the lodges were super friendly! On arrival they would clean your bag , give you a rag to clean your face, give you a fresh juice to drink , take your bags to the room , brief you about the grounds / times for dinner etc . The quality of the lodges for the money we paid was so good! We couldn't believe how nice they were. By far our favourite stay was in the mobile camps for our 2 nights in the Serengeti. Luckily for us, we were the only 2 guests for our stay, so we had such a personal experience, and we bonded very well with the group of guys running the camp. The tents were luxury with a proper toilet, shower , sink, and a spacious sleeping area, which had 2 beds and mosquito nets. The best part was waking up in the morning and seeing giraffes and zebras fill the fields around us while they grazed. The sound of the birds and insects throughout the day & night was so relaxing, too! You really felt like you were in the centre of nature. The food here was so well thought of, and it was our favourite! Then, each night, we would sit around the camp fire, which they called Bush Television haha, and share stories together! Something I will remember forever. At the end of each day Eric would always drop me a message to ask how the day went and make sure we were happy with everything! Therefore, as you can see me and my wife were over the moon with this trip, and it's actually emotional writing this as it has come to an end! But honestly, do not have any doubts about booking with this company! If you want a very personal experience, where you feel valued alongside having friendly, knowledgeable drivers, this is the company to book with! Not to mention, you will pay much less than other companies who all do the same thing! I compared across 6 main companies and the iternary is very similiar and most use the same lodges! So why pay more? We also left an expensive soap at the mobile camp by accident, but we couldn't go back as it was over 4 hours away, so James took us in to the supermarket in Arusha and ensured we were able to buy something similar by asking around for us! They really do go above and beyond. Thank you so much, Msangai, for this once in a lifetime experience, which you made even more memorable! Eric should be proud of the company he is developing, and I wish business continues to blossom! James & Emmanuel, you guys are the best, and as you said yourself, we are family now, haha ! Brothers and sisters for life! I have so much more, I could say, but words can only cover so much! Much love and Asante sana Msangai

Moafrika Tours is an exceptional tour operator that offers unforgettable safari experiences!
I recently went on the Pilanesberg Park Day Safari Tour with Moafrika Tours, and it was an experience I will never forget! The team at Moafrika Tours were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they made sure we had a fantastic time. Our driver (I forget his name) was super friendly and made sure we arrived at our destinations safely.
The safari itself was truly incredible. We saw so many amazing animals in a day, including elephants, and rhinos! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so many fascinating facts about the park and its inhabitants. She really made the experience special, and it was clear that he was passionate about the wildlife and their conservation.
One thing that really stood out to me about Moafrika Tours was their attention to detail. They also made sure that we were comfortable in the vehicle. The stop off at a local art store was also great, as I managed to pick up a few local paintings along the way. It was clear that they wanted us to have the best experience possible.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Pilanesberg Park Day Safari Tour with Moafrika Tours. It was a truly memorable experience, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to see such incredible animals up close. If you're looking for a fantastic safari experience, look no further than Moafrika Tours!

James at Wildlife Sun Safari, managed to plan the perfect safari for my family of 7 adults.
Just came back from a wonderful 10 day Kenya safari. Second safari with Wildlife Sun Safari and from the moment they picked us up then returned us to the airport they looked after us. The safari was as agreed to, so there were no surprises. The guides were friendly and wonderful at finding us the BIG 5!

If you are looking for a top quality safari in Tanzania then Serengeti Clarity is the perfect choice
My husband and I recently went on a 6-day safari in northern Tanzania with Serengeti Clarity. We searched through multiple quotes (14 to be exact) and found that Serengeti Smile offered the best tour, value, and standards that met our criteria. We had an incredible time and highly recommend others to do the same.
Our big Land Cruiser with a safari roof was perfect for the two of us and our amazing guide, Champion, who, along with Frank, ensured that we loved every moment of our trip from start to finish. They went above and beyond to show us animals and places that weren't even part of the original program.
We felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip, and the accommodations were excellent. We were truly able to immerse ourselves in the beauty of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes, and we are grateful to Serengeti Clarity for making this possible.
If you are looking for a top-quality safari experience in Tanzania, Serengeti Clarity is the perfect choice. Their commitment to providing a personalized and unforgettable experience is second to none.

Exceptional Safari company
We spent 10 wonderful days with Jadore Safari on the southern circuit in Tanzania. From the beginning Koen & Katje were very responsive to our questions and specific requests. They went the extra mile with lots of water in the vehicle as well as sodas and snacks. We must mention the air-conditioning in the vehicle - it was a treat after a day of 30+ degrees of wildlife viewing. We felt well looked after. The accommodation on our trip was great. All the lodges had an authentic African feel with all the conveniences you would expect. We especially enjoyed the view from the Hilltop lodge outside of Ruaha park and the chef there made amazing cinnamon bread! Our other favorite accommodation was Nyerere tented lodge - close to Selous. It was amazing. The food there was the best of the trip.
During our safari we enjoyed driving through the different terrains in Tanzania. What an amazing country. And of course we need to mention the spectacular wildlife we saw....elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos, crocs, wildebeests, buffalo and many kinds of antelope, warthogs, jackals and even leopard. Every day was an different adventure! A trip of a lifetime!

WEU was accommodating, safe, professional, knowledgable, friendly, and most importantly had A/C.
WEU, and their owner/operator Franklin made our Uganda travels truly memorable. Vehicles were clean, in safe working order, comfortable, and most importantly had working A/C. And while all the tour guides were knowledgable, incredibly friendly, and funny, they were constantly vigilant about our safety. They had to be given the number of times they put us within reach of lions, crocodiles, etc... However, our group of 6 always felt watched over and safe. WEU tour guides struck the perfect balance of allowing us to be engrossed with what we saw, while never allowing a boring or awkward moment during the tour. They knew when to just sit there and let us to stand in awe of what we witnessed, never feeling rushed or hurried. From our private Nile river cruise, up close and personal encounters with the wildlife, and never-ending cooler of water, to our river-side exclusive brunch complete with omelette station, freshly cut local fruit, and our own personal warthog show, it couldn't have been more perfect. Well done WEU. I will definitely be back and when I do, it will only be with Franklin and his team at Wild Excursions Uganda.
