Passionate and trustworthy guides that provided an outstanding and life changing experience!
I've been to Africa four times now and can't get enough of the unique cultures, people, and ecosystem that you get to experience. I am good friends with Miraji and have known him for many years starting back when I visited Tanzania for a medical mission trip. So it was a no brainer for me to reach out to his company to help me book an unforgettable safari. I completed a 7day/6night camping safari where we visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The perks of using a company like Ifude is that they have all of the connections, supplies, and knowledge to ensure a seamless safari so you don't have to worry about anything other than taking pictures and enjoying the amazing views. The safari vehicles are top notch and provide lots of space to move around while driving through the parks. The drivers are very knowledgable and professional and ensure that you experience and see every animal possible while also learning some interesting facts along the way. I wasn't completely sure what to expect for the food considering we were camping in the middle of these parks, but the chef was spectacular and cooked large and delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Because this is a private tour, the chef is willing to work with your diet or any requests to ensure that you enjoy your meals and stay full. I personally requested meals with protein, so we also had lots of good meats to eat for every meal including well seasoned chicken, fish, beef, and barbecue. The camping was also new to me while on a safari and it was perfect. I was worried that I'd be hot, but it cools off at night and was actually very comfortable and I slept very well. The team provided a nice individual tent for me with a clean pillow, sleeping bag, and mattress pad. Then every day we'd drive around as long as I wanted looking for all of the amazing animals such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, zebra, giraffes, rhinos, antelope, birds, hippos, baboons, and etc. I have been on multiple safaris now and I can say that this experience was top notch and you won't get anything better than this.

We will never forget this wonderful trip
With Savannah Sound Safaris we had the chance to experience the pleasure of living beside the lovely Kenyans, and we will never forget this wonderful trip.
We had booked our safari through Savannah Sound Safaris in 2019, paying %40 deposit for the hotels, but unfortunately due to Covid restrictions our flights were canceled and we had to postpone everything. They were so trustworthy that they kept our reservation and money for us until March 2022 when we could finally go on this safari after two years!
When we started our trip, we realized that it was totally worth the wait. We were fully satisfied with our itinerary and how our tour leader planned everything perfectly.
Because of the particular driving condition in Kenya, you really need an experienced, calm and wise driver, ours was exactly like that.
Our tour took about a month and we really enjoyed the support and guidance offered by Savannah Sound Safaris team.
We highly recommend them because they are true to their word and deliver what they promise.

They managed to put us inside the picture perfect postcard and organized true 'luxury' lodges !
Rose organized a short but excellent trip for us (me and my 17year old son) in Namibia ! She immediately captured what we were looking for (adventure and excitement for the teenager, luxury and impressive nature for mama). We started with a short safari in Etosha. The Fort Onguma was a beautiful Moroccan oasis with the most kind and professional staff on all sides (game drives, chef, waiters, managers etc). After that they flew us to Skeleton Coast where we stayed in The Shipwreck Lodge (beautiful set up) and were entertained every day by the joyful Bonnie. Quad -drives, sundowners but also time off to sip a wine and enjoy. Rose kept the best for last and we ended in Sossusvlei in the exceptional lodge of "And Beyond". seriously a fabulous experience ! (special mention for the chef there ! Brilliant!). Rose was always available, changed everything to please us more and accompanied us from booking till end. Also worth mentionning : we never had to wait for flight connections or pick ups, some one was always there for us. I will definitely travel again with The Luxury safari and if all employees are like Rose, this is a very well organised Travel Company !,

Absolutely Fabulous!
I'm so glad I booked with Traipsing. Sandra was fabulous - she responded to all my enquiries on rates and transfers timely, offered options. Once we booked she followed up with information about covid restrictions and changes and also checked in on us via whatsapp and was even helpful in arranging a spare adaptor when we had forgotten ours! she dealt with everything to ensure we had a smooth journey and experience.
The transfer operators they work with are very professional too and had even packed us a snack box for the 2hour transfer.
Would definitely recommend and be using them again when we return to South Africa in the future.

Safari Planning Done Right
My wife and I are glad we decided to trust this company with handling the logistics of planning a safari experience. We stayed in the Black Rhino Reserve area of Pilanesburg National park at the Tambuti Lodge for 5 days/4 nights as part of a larger 2 week trip to South Africa. In one straightforward booking process, private transfers from and to JNB airport and the lodge were organized, the stay itself booked, and covid testing required to return home to the U.S was scheduled. It was a pleasure working with our agent Sandra who checked in on us throughout our trip to ensure things were going smoothly. We will use them again when we next need to plan a safari in Africa.

Skilled guide with a broad knowledge about everything from city to nature
My guide picked me up at the airport in Johannesburg and every day at the guest house where I stayed and she was always on time. She knew a lot about the history of Joburg and could answer any question. When we did camping she cooked amazing food. I got to learn some South African dishes. In Kruger she was really observant and always spotted the animals. She was also good at reading the behaviour of the animals so she knew whether we should wait or move on. In short it was a great experience.

Excellent Safari with Raymond
Thanks to Raymond from Great Image Expedition. And they definitely live up to that name. This was a lifelong dream of mine, and Raymond made my time in his country more special than I already imagined. For the entire (too quick) week, I got to be the only passenger in his entire large vehicle, so we got to know each other better and make a new friendship, rafiki. He definitely taught me a lot more about his home than I could ever learn from books and television. And I also appreciate the help with my Swahili. I hope that future visitors will be fortunate enough to have such a fantastic guide. Asante sana, Raymond
