Fantastic tour of Namib desert and Swakopmund
This was our first visit to Namibia and we had a wonderful experience with Blue Crane Safaris. Communication with Derek was quite good and prompt as we planned the safari. He responded to all our queries and prepared any document we asked for.
The safari itself was a 5-day tour starting from pickup from our hotel in Windhoek. From there we were driven to and spent 2 nights at the luxurious Desert Hills lodge in the Namib desert. We explored Sossusvlei, Dead Vlei, Sesriem Canyon and all the surrounding areas. We went on Dune 45 and also had the option of going on Big Daddy. It was all amazing and beautifully arranged. From there, we drove to Walvis Bay, exploring the salt ponds and the flamingos lakes and then onto the beautiful coastal town of Swakopmund. The drive from Walvis Bay to Swakopmund was one of my highlights as we saw the desert merge into the sea. Fantastic views! At Swakopmund, we went to Cape Cross to see the huge collection of seals, and also explored the small town including the beautiful Crystal gallery which was just by our hotel. At the end of the tour we were dropped back to our hotel in Windhoek.
Everything about this tour was professionally arranged and faultless. We had a fantastic tour guide and driver in Marcus. He was knowledgeable, patient and fun to be with. Our vehicle was a comfortable 4x4 with air-condition. Every accommodation we stayed in was quite good and all our meals, outside of the desert hills lodge, were taken at top restaurants with freedom to pick anything in the menu!
I will surely recommend this tour and company to anyone, and I look forward to using them again in the future.

The perfect safari –tour guide Cleopa
Our safari was perfect due to flawless organization of Soul of Tanzania and their guide Cleopa.
Cleopa was simply the best guide we could ever imagine, with his perfect communication in English, sympathy, kindness and education, vehicle immaculately cleaned every morning, careful and conscious driving, deep knowledge of animal life and local geography.
He did everything to fulfill our wishes and expectations and planned everything so well, that we’ve seen everything we’ve dreamed about – yes, and the Big 5, too

The tour operator was amazing. So helpful and nice.
The trip was amazing. The tour guides and the hotel operators were very helpful and very nice.
This was one of the best trips I have taken. I recommend everyone to take a trip like this.
Everyone always let us know where we were going and what time we needed to be ready for our tour for the day.
I wish we had a better camera because it was so beautiful. (not your fault) haha.
We made friends during the trip, which was so fun.

Best experience of my life
An incredible experience which got beyond any expectations we had.
3 days of safari, guided by the lovely Ernest who showed great knowledge and took care of everything we needed.
We were amazingly satisfied and happy that Ernest was the one who took care of us.
All the safari was planned in the best way, from the route through the tasty meals, safe car, and the beautiful and autentic lodges, which made the experience feels complete.
We don't think we have any bad word to say or mentioning any flaw.
Couldn't ask for more.

Great Tour!
African Welcome Safaris put together a trip that was excellent, well organized and made it easy for us to relax. Our guide was always flexible and available to adjust per our needs and what we wanted to see. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic in responding to all our questions about SA. It was great value to have the whole trip organized at a cost that didn't seem higher than we what we would have paid for everything.

Smart Voyage and Safaris are exceptional in their services.
An experience like no other!
I was a bit sceptical when my husband suggested Tsavo as a destination to celebrate our 4th anniversary. How wrong I was to doubt this place. I voiced my concerns to one of the Smart Voyage professionals, Kimberly and she took it upon herself to ensure our trip was nothing short of the best. We stayed at the striking Finch Hattons Camp. I must say this was one of the most beautiful camps I've ever been to! I mostly enjoyed the delightful night drives. We got to see the nocturnal creatures( leopards, civets,genets and Bush babies). The camp is secluded and well spaced. This made our trip more intimate and more enjoyable. On the third day of our 4 day trip we had to stop and watch the beautiful sunset with views of Mt.Kilimanjaro. This was breathtaking. We enjoyed a candle lit dinner at the 12m-high observation deck. The food was amazing not to mention the aesthetics. Best choice this year. Thank you Smart Voyage team!

Excellent Kenya safari Experience
Words alone can not describe the incredible 6 days trip experience we had in Kenya with Wild Race Africa. We settle on the organization after reading their online reviews. We got in touch with them and they were very swift in their responses.
Simon explained everything in detail and answered to our numerous questions efficiently.
The choice f lodges were awesome and the prices were also very pocket friendly.
We made the commitment fee and cleared the balance on arrival by card and off we were to Masai Mara game reserve.
Our guide George was very knowledgeable and very accommodation.
My daughter was so demanding but George handled every demand so efficiently that we were both very much happy with his services.
The Mara Sekenani camp was superb just as simon had promised. The staffs are very friendly and quite professional.
Back in Nairobi, we had a surprise dinner and carnivore restaurant courtesy of simon and wild Race Africa
I highly recommend this organization for anyone looking for a fantastic Kenya Safari experience.
