Nice safari with cool staff
The safari was a very nice experience.
We were lucky to be only 4 people in each safarijeep (there was capacity for 7 people), but they would like to have the cars full so they get more money.
Everything was planned and we could even borrow tents, sleeping bags and so for free.
The chef was good but some days we didn't get breakfast, so we had nothing to eat from 6 am to 12 am where he served brunch (but it felt more like lunch).
It's a shame that they care so much for money, because the company is characterized by that.

An unforgettable trip with loads of fun
Let me come straight to the point: I had a wonderful trip and enjoyed every minute of it! I loved the scenery and the wildlife and I loved life unfolding itself in the villages and small towns.
Even though - and, yes, I do have some reservations - we found that the programme was a bit too full, especially at the beginning of our safari. Here we were, pale Europeans, trying to forget about having to watch the time from morning till night - and what did we have to do?? Live by the clock - from morning till night!!!
Another criticism I would like to get off my chest is the fact that the trip was rather expensive. Just to give you one example of where we did not receive value for money is the packed lunches we got from the lodges which were way too expensive.
But - as I said before - I loved the trip, not least because of the great company I had in our car with our competent, kind and knowledgeable guide and driver, Michael, who took those long, exhausting days on the roads in his stride and made sure we arrived safe and sound. Thank you!

I had a great safari. The guides were very kind and had a big knowledge about the animals.
It was my first safari, so I didn't really have any expectations, so for me everything was new and exciting. The guides was good at English so they were easy to communicate with, and the were very focused on our (the clients) wishes and our wellbeing. So, I had a great safari were I saw all the animals I dreamed of seeing.

Very welcoming and helpful.
Clive Murray assisted me with my booking and was very helpful. I am happy with the deal I received as my stay was enjoyable and worth the money I spend. The only thing that went wrong was when we arrived at Bongani Mountain lodge there was no shuttle to pick us up to take us to the lodge. We were informed that pick ups were at 12:00, 13:00 and 15:00. We arrived at 14:50 to be told we were suppose to advise Bongani mountain lodge what time we would arrive so they can organize the pick up. This was not told to me so we ended up waiting about 40 minutes for the transfer to come and collect us. Other than that everything went well.

we had a perfect safari, Lily is a perfect host and promises with het staff what she offers.
21st December till 29th December we did a ‘safari’ that was organised by Zohar Safari Tours. It was a very well organised trip. The lodges were very good and comfortable, the guide was very nice and knew a lot about the animals and the area, the timeschedule was very good so we saw a lot and learned a lot about Tanzania and its wildlife. If anybody wants to make a trip to the national parks of Tanzania we would recommend Zohar Safari Tours to do the organisation. They listened to what we wanted but also advised us where to go or not.
It was a wonderful holiday!!!!!!!!!!

Well organized, friendly guide and beautiful way to see Kenya
My sister and I booked a personalized 4 night 5 day tour with To Go Kenya. The booking process was easy with all of our questions being answered promptly, allowing us to plan the tour exactly the way we wanted to see it. The only complain was the payment process, as it would have been nice to be able to pay via pay pal or another free service instead of paying extra for a wire transfer.
The tour itself was exactly as we expected. The guide, Mutemi, was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about Kenya(history, animals, vegetation). On the safaris he was very respectful to the time we wanted to spend watching all of the animals and taking pictures of them. His driving on the-less-than-ideal Kenyan roads always felt safe and he clearly tried to make the ride as smooth and fast as possible. The accommodations we stayed in were beautiful and well chosen and the meals were always delicious (with lots of vegetarian options). A great option for your Kenya tour needs! Would definitely book with them again.

An awesome safari to Kruger and Sabi Sands
Just got back after an amazing 3 night stay at Tydon Safari's luxury tented camp, where we did 2 game drives to Kruger and 3 to Sabi Sands. The accommodation, staff and the quality of the game drives (in terms of what we saw and knowledge of the guides) was first class. The food was also very good.
The only slight criticism I have is regarding the arrangements for the pick up from my hotel in Sandton (Jo'burg), since I had to chase the agent for these. Indeed, once I had paid my final instalment, there was very little contact from the agent regarding travel arrangements etc.

Emanuel is very nice warmhearted ! My 10 days trip was great thanks to him !
The service was great, we ve been communicating a lot prior to my arrival and during the trip Emmanuel was accompanying me thought the whole trip. Despite some unpredicted situations, we found always solutions. He gave me lots care and surprise, a great experience overall. If communication in some way can be more clear and transparent it would be even greater !

I have never seen a lot of animals like what I saw in the Safari. It was awesome.
The Safari was very nice. We got to see a lot of animals and it was worth it. The only problem that we experience was the tent and the food. The tent water did not go down after bathing. We also had bowel movement problems after eating the Chicken in Maasai Mara. I think the Chicken was not refrigerated. The best food to serve is Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches or Vegetarian food if there is no refrigerator. Food in the evenings was very good though because it was served hot. Overall we enjoyed the Safari and we got to see plenty of animals. All our friends are envious. Everyone wants to see our pictures. Richard was a very good driver and we enjoyed having him us our driver. we will definitely recommend Karibu Safari.
Thanks,

Absolutely worth the visit.
We crammed a lot into three days in Kruger.Even though it was coming into Autumn, it was still very hot but with the luxury of some cloud cover. The scenery is bland but what amazed me was the ease at which many animals of different colours can blend into the background. We were pleased to see most of the big 5, only missing out on the Leopard.To be up close to such wild magnificent animals was truly amazing.Also for me the birds we saw were beautiful and varied.
The accommodation was perfect and the staff were very helpful.We could not fault anything except maybe the flying beetles which can drop in(literally) during dinner while dining al fresco.
