Blue crane's attention to details and exceptional guiding guaranteed an exceptional experience
We booked our 50th wedding anniversary 15 day tour with blue crane in 2019 but could only travel in September 2022. Derek Jacobs the owner stayed in regular contact with us until the tour could begin. The tour covered 4400km and made it possible for us to experience the many wonderful attractions Namibia has to offer blue crane's attention to detail ensured that all of us (5 travelers) could relax and focus on appreciating ever activity. All of us on the tour had different interests from birds to geology and trees to history. The guide shared expert knowledge on all areas of interest for all of us. He even brought geology to life by explaining the relationship between observable physical environment and how plants animals and people adjusted to a changing and harsh environment we found blue crane by reading internet reviews which is a risky approach. We had an exceptional experience and I recommend contacting Derek to discuss your interests. You won't be disappointed.

High quality service provided by locally rooted experts
Lost in Africa made our (first) dream safari possible. We were looking for a tour operator who takes our wishes and concerns seriously, which is rooted in the community and where we feel welcomed. Lost in Africa ticked all those boxes. From starting our enquires to booking, to arrival & safari, Hans and the team made everything convenient and easy for us.
Besides the breathtaking nature, our tour guide Patrick played an important role to make our experience unforgettable. His knowledge and love for the animals & parks, as well as his fun and likable character, allowed us to fully enjoy every moment.
We are already planning our next trip - again with Lost in Africa - and can't wait to see the sun rising in Serengeti.

Best experience in my entire existence
We had the best 3 days safari experience with Migration Venture Africa Ltd. Our guide Noel was literally the best. He is an absolute sweetheart and he even took my husband to the hospital when he felt off a little bit and also to a visit a Maasai tribe and helped us with everything. The coordinator, Amos is also answering everything in a really short term to help with any problem. The accomodations and the car were great and of course the wildfile of Tanzania is really one of a kind. Would recommend 100%, don't miss this opportunity!

No problems on a Pilanesberg tour
My tour was quite simple: just transportation between the airport and a Pilanesberg lodge. But everything went fine. The tour had to be postponed due to Covid, and this was not a problem.
The only issue is that the driver did not take the most direct (and mostly on highways) route, but rather a more circuitous route through secondary roads. But since I had time to spare, that wasn't a real problem.

Above all the companies you can get in Tanzania, Wakanda is definitely the best!!!!
Wakanda is a 10 out of 10 company. They offer an amazing service, they have a truly qualified team (both safaris and Kilimanjaro) and give you the best experience.
I lived in Tanzania for more than 2 months and it was quite difficult to spot a good company above all there are, and Wakanda really sparks from others. They are serious, always guarantee the best service and are flexible.
Food at both Kilimanjaro and Serengeti were beyond expectations. Always a hot meal and with a great cook.
Thank you for all! Wouldn’t have been the same without you guys.

I had an amazing time, it's a day I'll always remember
It was my parent's anniversary and I was shopping for a gift for them. I came across African Challenge Safaris and I had a pleasure of meeting Mr. Kennedy. He tailor made an itinerary that really suited my parents and met their needs. Actually, this was their first time on Masai Mara and they really had an amazing time from their pickup point in Nairobi to Karen Blixen in Mara. Mr. Kennedy had arranged for a bottle of wine and some flowers for them which made their experience more romantic. Lest I forget, the treatment they got at Karen Blixen. The staff were so friendly and accommodative, the chef made the most amazing meals and baked for us a cake. Our experience was just amazing and I would recommend African Challenge Safaris to anyone planning for a safari or tour.
Thank you Kennedy, be blessed.

Excellent!!
We had a confusion with our pick up time and no afrika helped us sending an Uber to get the transport, we appreciate very much that help!
The transport from Johannesburg to pilanseberg is 2 hours but our guide Bathang made the trip interesting.
During the tour inside the park we saw to many elephants families, impalas, giraffes, white rhinos and were very lucky to se a lioness!! Very good experience! The included lunch I ordered was very good also!

Top Notch safari with African Starpal safaris
My husband and I just finished our 5 days Masai Mara lake Nakuru Tour which for sure exceeded our expectations. Not only was the safari outstanding, mainly due to the professionalism of our tour guide and reservations guys, but the people were so warm and friendly that each day after the safari we felt as if we had come home to be with our long lost friends. The accommodation was comfortable and left nothing to be desired, yet in a setting that made us feel close to the unspoiled natural habitat of the animals that were around us. We want to do it again and probably will in the nearest future and we make it long. AfricanStarpal, our tour operator is quite professional and will definitely recommend the company to our friends.

A very good oranisation which provides what they prommise.
Our guide we have had for about 7 times before, then working for another company.
He is really fantastic. Besides gamedrives we visited several schools, bringing a lot of materials for the nurseryclass.
He helps us with everything, for instance buying extra materials en very important the communication with people who do not speak very well English.
We found out this new company is very reliable, well organised and does what they promise.
Lunches on route were every time very good.
