Amazing experience
We had an amazing experience travelling with Kasaka Tours in july 2022. Tassia and John are the best guests and tour guides. They give you background information about life in Tanzania that you would never have experienced with another, less personal, tour operator. Everything was fixed perfectly and we received a very open communication from both Tassia en John about our travels and safari. They really make you feel at home and make sure your travels are according to your preferences and wishes. The best address for travelling in beautiful Tanzania!

Excellent service, going over and above in all regards
Faultless friendly service from start to finish. Debbie went over and above to ensure we had the most amazing safari. Everything was planned to perfection and Debbie took the hassle out of all the bookings. She listened to what we were looking for and the end result was the most super 10 days family safari staying at some awesome lodges and experiencing Africa at its best. Everything was well thought through from cost to activities and suitability for our group (4 adults 4 teens 2 grandparents!)
Highly recommend using Experience Africa.

Ten days filled with wonder
If you want to see wonderful landscape and now and then some elephants and impalas, you can go by your own car on safari. But if you want to get really close to the wildlife of Botswana, you MUST book Julius and his Go Bold Adventure Team, because he is the best. We had the best days of our lives with him, living in tents in the bush, every second day set up at a new place by his very pleasant and helpful team (thanks to Oti and Gau; we even had roomservice in our tents ;-)), spoiled with breakfast, lunch and a three-course-dinner every evening thanks to the chef Gee (how could she manage with only one fireplace?) and filled with wonder by Julius, who showed us the wildlife in all its beauty. We came near lions and leopards we could never have dreamed. Julius knows all about the animals and because of that he knows where to find them. Every question we had he answered. He saw the animals, when we only saw grass, by the movement of one ear. We could trust him in every way and felt very safe in his presence. So we had a wonderful, unforgetable time.

Everything we hoped for - and more!
At the outset, we set out our budget, the type of accommodation we wanted and what we hoped to see and Discover Africa delivered on everything.
The travel arrangements - including ground and air transport worked smoothly - at each stage we were kept up to date with any schedule changes imposed by the airlines etc.
Our accommodation was just what we expected - both tented camps were comfortable with friendly welcoming staff who worked hard to ensure that we were happy. The food was good - nothing fancy but wholesome and plentiful if you wanted - in particular the breakfast and lunch boxes were well thought out with a good variety. There was a good selection of house drinks along with tea, coffee etc. The Hot water bottles in the tented camp above Ngorongoro was very welcome - we hadn't expected to be quite that cold.
Both guides were excellent - friendly, considerate and helpful but above all immensely knowledgeable on animals and birds.
We saw everything we expected to see and more - and to be honest, more than we had even hoped for. Our main goal was the Migration Crossing the Mara River but we also saw the Big Five - over two days - along with most of the other animal species and a wonderful variety of birdlife.
We have enjoyed previous safaris in Botswana - Okavanga Delta and Northern Kalahari - and in South Africa - Kruger and KZN - but this trip was probably the best overall safari experience that we have had.
Based on our experience, we would be happy to recommend Discover Africa to anyone interested in a Safari trip anywhere in Africa.

Reliable and helpful
I have booked trips with Wintrip Safaris on several occasions. Each time they have surpassed my expectations.
Last September they helped with organizing my trip to Tafaria Castle and the attention to detail and the ever available help made every penny spent with them worth it

Incredible
I cannot recommend this company enough!!!!! The whole trip from start to finish was magical. Our guide (Vincent) and our chef (Tito) could not have been better. THE FOOD omg - AMAZING. And the knowledge of Vincent - AMAZING. They couldn’t have been more nice or accommodating - Vincent took us out at night so we could buy beers and Tito even made me a birthday cake as I turned 30 on the safari. If you’re thinking of booking, do it! We even got a free upgrade to a lodge (from camping) because when we arrived to one site there where sooo many students there, the guide was concerned that the showers and toilets would be very busy. So he contacted the office and we were upgraded.
Oh and we seen every animal we wanted to, numerous times!!

Superb, professional service. Highly recommended.
My friend and I did three activities over 2 days. These included the Victoria Falls day trip, morning Game Drive and an afternoon Sunset Cruise. I found the guides to be professional, knowledgeable, competent and extremely helpful. All activities we did were amazing and couldn’t recommend them enough. Victoria Falls was beautiful and we saw lots of animals on the Game Drive and Sunset Cruise.
Our guide, got information where the Lions were on the Game Drive, so kindly extended our tour so we could see them. I would highly recommend these experiences to anyone as the guides and tours are fantastic. Thank you for making our trip to Botswana so amazing.

very well prepared, knowledgeable and experienced. We enjoyed the time a lot with Shirima!
We are so happy that we chose Kilimanjaro Trekking Mate as our travel partner in Tansania! It was pure luck - we looked for a local company from Moshi on Google Maps. Nick convinced us with a good offer and quick responses to all our questions. The good reviews also helped. Now we can join in with our excellent experience:
After hiking the 8 day Lemosho route - which was a great experience as well - we went on a 6 day safari with our guide Shirima. We couldn't have asked for a better guide who was very well prepared, very knowledgeable and very experienced. We definitely felt as if we sat in the best safari jeep. Shirima made sure to avoide crowds whenever possible and knew where to search for animals. Accomondations and hot lunches were great as well, and it showed us how much they cared about us as their customers.
