Great family trip
Our family (2 adults, 1 daughter of 12 and one daughter of 19) went to the Elephant Coast in South Africa in July. We mainly made safaris during our trip and enjoyed tremendously! We have seen all of the big 5 and the other animals were also more than worthwhile. We have driven around in parks ourselves, but also had guided drives. We found it both equally cool. During a self-drive is really cool to spot the animals yourselves and keep watching as long as you want. During the guided game drives it is very interesting to hear all relevant facts and to look for tracks. We also relaxed a few days at Kosi Bay. We have stayed at Tembe and Thanda (which we can strongly recommend) at the very end of our trip !! To finish we flew to Cape Town. We really wanted to stay here a bit longer, two full days was too short to explore everything. We look back on a very cool, unique vacation that we will never forget.

Bwindi gorilla tracking, chimpanzees tracking and splendid bunyonyi lake
We were really lucky to choose Katona. First of all we want to give compliments to Jackie who was astonishing fast in replaying on all our requests about journey and managed to schedule splendid safaris (4x) with chimpanzee/gorilla tracking in less than 14 days. Our guide Richard was the great implementor of the plan. Who would resisted a divine bush breakfast in NP made by him? Boat trip to Pygmies, Punishment island and Upside down island was just the icing on the cake.

3 night, 4 day Tour
My mother and I hired Craig for a 3 night, 4 day tour of cape town and it's surrounding areas. Craig put together an amazing package starting with a over night train ride from Johannesburg to Capetown. The entire tour was planned and have a variety of different activities from exploring caves, to seeing ostrichs and visiting a ostrich farm, to going on a game drive.
He was also very adaptable to any changes we needed and fit in "spur of the moment" whims. I would 100% recommend Craig to anyone whom is seeking a guided tour of ZA.
P.S. i lost my sunglasses in his car and he even mailed it back to the USA for me!

The trip of a lifetime.
The service we received from RA Safaris was perfect from beginning to end. They were flexible when the size of our party changed and looked after us extremely well. Nothing was too much trouble. We climbed Kilimanjaro and went on Safari with RA Safaris and our guides were friendly, professional, helpful and knowledgeable in both cases. We felt safe and well cared for at all times. Our trip was exactly what we wanted and we were extremely grateful for the advice we were given. The trip was excellent value for money and we do not hesitate to recommend RA Safaris to anyone. I am convinced that no company could provide a better experience than RA Safaris.

A personalized, professional safari, and the best of 7 safaris I've enjoyed in my life!
The Safari lived up to expectations and then some. I have been to Africa 12 times, and Tanzania six times. My standards are high, and Tanzania Choice Safaris exceeded my expectations. It is because of the wonderful team that leads this company. It is a husband-and-wife team that is unmatched. Kakasii in the field, and Brenda in the office. Communications were prompt and perfect, and Kakasii's English is excellent along with his knowledge of fauna, flora and animal life in Tanzania . Very simply, the best Safari I've ever taken.

Amazing trip to Kenya
This is the first time we camp, and we did 3 nights in Masai Mara. The camp site located just nearby the Talek gate (~3 mins drive), and is besides Talek river. There are a lot of animals will wander into the camp. I noticed baboons try to "attack" the kitchen during day time.
Steve took care of us like our mum and the staff were friedly and helpful, make us feel like home. Steve's cooking was superb and the food was tasty. We always excited to know about our breakfast, lunch & dinner menu.
We had two Masai people, John and Johnathon, guarding us during night time. They help to chase away any approaching animals to our camp.
John, who speak very good English, was helpful and happily bring us to walk around. He also shared with us a lot of Masai story besides the camp fire.
Our guide ~ Joseph is professional and experienced. He helped us to spot many wildlife and gave us this unforgettable experience. The 2nd day in Masai Mara game drive, he was able to tell the weather changing and there might be an eclipse. With the immediate action, he was able to locate the sun location, and we seen eclipse for the first time, right here in the heart of Savannah.
And on our last drive, Joseph noticed two rhinoes with just a quick glimpse. We were glad to end our first ever safari experience with rare Mara black rhinoes.

Absolutely first class - an unforgettable experience
I've just returned from Tanzania having completed the 7 day Machame Route ascent of Kilimanjaro. From the moment of arrival at the airport, the service we experienced was absolutely beyond expectations. Our guide, Gipson met us at the airport and transferred us to our hotel following a comprehensive briefing of what we should expect on the mountain. Gipson's team, "the Dream Team", (motto "yes we can") were a joy - a high energy, permanently smiling group of people absolutely dedicated to making our trip as easy and comfortable as possible. It was very obvious right from our first encounter with them that they were genuinely there to ensure that we got to the top and realised our dream.
The whole experience was incredible - we forged fantastic friendships with our guides, Gipson and Baraka, and shared laughs with the rest of the team. Their energy was contagious, and they were constantly in attendance whether it be at camp, or even coming out to meet us to help carry our bags to camp at the end of a day's walking.
Food was plentiful and of very high quality. Care was also in abundance - daily checks on our oxygen saturation levels confirmed whether we were fit to continue. It was clearly apparent that the mission of the team was to get us to the summit....and they did!
I can't recommend Easy Travel and the Dream Team highly enough. They made a very special experience truly incredible, and I'm grateful to each and every one of them for their hard work, humour, energy and encouragement on our trip. If you plan to climb Kilimanjaro, make sure you do it with these guys....yes they can!!

Most amazing trip
My husband and I booked our safari for our honeymoon. Lucas, our tour guide, asked us beforehand what we had in mind for our trip and then he arranged the entire itinerary for us. He provided us with a packing list and made everything very easy. There are no words that can truly express what an amazing experience this safari was. Yes, the scenery and animals were breathtaking and unforgettable, but Lucas made it a very special experience. He is so experienced as a guide that he knew where to spot every animal and very informational regarding the animals and wildlife. We got to see every animal Tanzania has to see. Lucas arranged for beautiful accommodations and even had some places be decorated for our honeymoon. We always felt safe with Lucas.
This was by far my favorite trip I've taken and I am constantly trying to encourage people to go on this safari. Lucas makes all of the difference and I wouldn't recommend going with any other tour group.
