Reliable
Chalo Africa is a reliable, trusted and hardworking travel agent group. They found a safe and comfortable place for us to stay on very short notice. We did not have to worry about anything once we got there because everything was perfectly arranged. Smita was kind and amazing, spending a lot of long days trying to find us accommodations to fir our needs. She even went out of her way to give us advice on other places in Africa she wasn’t having us book. Her team and her were always available on WhatsApp during the entire trip and checked in multiple times to make sure all was going smoothly. I usually never use travel agents but I highly recommend Chalo Africa for a seamless African Safari. Its very necessary and you won’t regret it!

Incredible Private Luxury Kenya/Tanzania Safari!!!
Me and my partner spent 13 days on a private safari tour of Kenya/Tanzania, organized through Bush2City Adventures and what an incredible experience it was.
We dealt with Jackson during the planning process, who was so quick to respond to all of our questions and optimize the itinerary to ensure we had the best experience on safari. He also provided guidance on how to obtain our Visas to enter Tanzania and Kenya and frequently checked in with us to ensure all our needs were met.
All of the guides we had were absolutely incredible. Nick took us around Nairobi on day one, then George took us to Lake Navaisha and Nakuru. Simon showed us the Masai Mara and Amboseli, and Nickson took us exploring around the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
They were all very experienced guides, each with over 10-15 years of experience running Safari tours. It was incredible how they would spot the animals from such far distances. I really appreciated how they would give additional context as to why the animals were behaving in certain ways or explain key facts about the animals.
The game drives were all incredible and I appreciated how the guides really tailored the experience to what we wanted. Sometimes they would let us go for longer drives when we weren’t ready to go back, they always had a nice stock of alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages and often served us luxury hot lunches with wine or beer (which many other tour companies didn’t seem to do!).
Every game drive delivered some sort of new, interesting experience. We saw so many cool things like lion hunts, leopard bringing it’s prey up a tree, multiple Wildebeest river crossings (which was such a life experience to see!) baby rhino’s, baby lions, baby cheetahs, cheetahs feasting on a kill and the list goes on!
We also had a few add-on experiences to our package, all of which were just incredible. We visited the Giraffe Centre and Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi, as well as the Karen Blixen museum. We visited a Masaai tribe in the Mara, learning about how they live and their cultural traditions. We opted to do a hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara and in the Serengeti, we had a beautiful dinner set-up in the middle of the wilderness (which was scary, but beautiful and felt safe since they had rangers patrolling and monitoring the area around us).
Without these incredible and very knowledgeable guides, we definitely would not have had such an amazing experience. I’ll also say that Bush2City has very new, clean and well maintained safari jeeps.
All the lodges and camps were so luxurious with incredible food and stunning views. The people at every lodge or luxury tented camp were so friendly and provided just the most incredible service.
I truly felt like this Luxury Safari was the experience of a lifetime and I credit Bush2City Adventures for making that happen! I’ll definitely be booking future African tours with them again. Thanks!

Fantastic
Our nine-day trip exceeded all expectations. Everyone we worked with at Lion King Adventures was top-notch, giving us invaluable help from the early planning stages through the end of the trip. Nickson, Pendo, and Anna were patient and informative as we tailored our itinerary, fielding all manner of questions and setting us up with an amazing safari-- one with a great balance between comfort and bush experience. When it came to the wildlife, our guide Freddy was unbeatable. With twelve years as a guide, he knew all the ropes of the Northern Tanzania safari circuit: the terrain, the animals, the guides, the roads, the camps... everything. He was motivated, eagle-eyed, a great driver, and determined to give us the incredible experience we ended up with. These were full, full days, and somehow each day was my favorite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Excellent safari operation
From start to finish this was an excellent safari experience.
Pendo provides great information on the tour, follows up very quickly and provided answers to all of our questions. Given this was our first safari we had lots of questions and concerns but everything was resolved, even providing alternatives to one of the lodges we were not unsure of.
All of the pre-trip input from Pendo made us a lot more comfortable choosing Tales of Tanzania for our trip.
When we arrived our expectations were exceeded, everything was so well planned from the pick up at the airport to the itinerary review with my family prior to departing fir the safari.
Our guide was Dismas who did everything to make our safari a fantastic experience. He was always trying to find animals for us to see. He was able to find a way for us to view the Big 5.
5 stars for Dismas too.
All of the lodges we stayed at were good experiences including the food.
Overall a very well run operation that provides an excellent experience at a very reasonable price.

Wonderful Experience
the trip was excellent, the team is a warm, superb team,
It's true that I traveled alone without accompaniment but I didn't feel that at all,
Frankly I would like to find myself again in the same place, or in a new one with the same feelings that I experienced,
I came back in good shape and with joyful energy,
Thank you very much for the whole team

An amazing experience!
We went to Rwanda on a customized, private trip to go gorilla trekking and chimpanzee trekking. The trip itself was amazing - it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see these animals up close and in their natural habitat and something we'll never forget.
Everything went absolutely perfectly from the moment we landed to the moment we were dropped off at the airport on the way back. Eric A was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job of answering our questions and making sure everything was set logistically - his client service was really, really great and he always went the extra mile for us!
Luis was our trip organizer and he did a great job of helping us plan the itinerary through changing covid protocols, and he was always quick to respond and provide solutions. The hotels were really nice too. Overall, the trip exceeded all expectations, and especially for the price, would recommend it to anyone looking to have an amazing adventure in a beautiful country

Shaun took out the stress of all the logistics of safari planning.
Shaun was integral in nailing down my safaris on very short noticed. We video chatted about what I wanted to do and he made it happen including the transfers and flights which are quite complicated. Even though I had planned the rest of my trip on my own, he offered me advice and great suggestions for my whole trip to South Africa.
