Spectacular ❤️❤️❤️
Words cannot describe how amazing the Ker & Downey team were in planning our vacation! Our magical adventure was 37 days long visiting five countries and three different time zones! In the midst of a pandemic this team was absolutely flawless and executed every part of our vacation with perfection.
The lodges they chose, the experiences and the amazing surprises along the way. Jenieen was with us every step of the way as we had planned this trip for 2020 and things continued to change even into 2021 when we rebooked it. We wanted to make some changes while we were in the midst of our trip and the entire team accommodated all of our wishes and made everything so easy and simple. We absolutely are open to anyone reaching out to us so we can sing the praises and we definitely recommend them to anyone looking to book a safari to Africa or anywhere. I cannot wait to plan our next adventure!

The Best in the Business
In June we traveled with Kusini Safaris to Zimbabwe. This was our second safari with Kusini, our first being in Tanzania. Both Safaris with Kusini have been the absolutely best of the 6 safaris that we have been on. They both surpassed our expectations...the best game, best camps, best gourmet food, and the greatest adventure...all done with meticulous detail. We would never use another operator !!! We Love Paul Tickner!!!!!!

Amazing safari !!!!!!
From the very beginning, African Pangolin Safaris showed full professionalism. We had an amazing safari in Mikumi and Ruaha National Park. We also visited Udzungwa National Park and the Maasai village. Our driver-guide Mansoor turned out to be a great, very thoughtful driver and a great guide in the parks. He told us a lot about animals. We saw lions, elephants, kudu, buffalos, dik dik antelopes and lots of other animals. It was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend !!!

Excellent Service.
Primate Journeys Africa hosted us in Uganda for over a week. They were extremely attentive, went beyond the call of duty, and made sure our entire team had a positive experience. They took special care to expose us to experiences unique to Uganda that will be remembered for a lifetime. All hotels and bookings were excellent, and as North Americans traveling to new territories, we felt secure in their hands.

Lord was the most knowledgeable person I have ever met. He was so fun and knew all of the best spots
Big cats safari is great because it is private and completely planned around your schedule and preferences. We had the absolute best time with our guide, Lord! The animals were right next to our jeep and it was truly the experience of a life time! Justice made planning the trip so easy and we are so grateful for the both of them! We also did a hot air balloon over the Serengeti which was the most beautiful and breathtaking experience ever! Thank you so much big cat safari for a trip I will never forget! I will recommend this company to everyone!
Noel is the best!!!!
I had the pleasure of doing a tour with Noel when I last visited Tanzania earlier this year. He is an incredibly kind and genuine person, and a fantastic and knowledgable guide. He and his colleagues really go the extra mile for their guests, and can give a fantastic insight into the culture and history of Tanzania!

Well organised and responsible.
My fiance and I booked the all inclusive VIP Package. After getting some initial information, and after many comparisons with other recommended Safari Tours Companies, I chose Gilmag Safaris. The staff is very knowledgeable and the best part was Vivian who was helping us craft our trip was very responsive- usually emailing back within 30 minutes or less.
On arrival at Kilimanjaro airport we were warmly welcomed and driven to our hotel at the foot of kilimanjaro mountain. Our resort was all inclusive and we had nothing to worry about.
The places chosen to stay were terrific- the Camp/Lodges are right in there in the most pristine and central regions of the National parks, and very-well maintained and full of the most delicious food and terrific hospitality. Great choices made by Gilmag Safaris!!!
My favourite, being the Ngorongoro National Park with its evergreen trees and stunning breathtaking views. The other places were also really great. We had an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide, Gilbert who taught us so much about the parks, animals and the birds. What a fantastic time we had! If this is your one and only opportunity to visit Tanzania, don't even hesitate about paying extra for safari because it is absolutely worth it.
As a conclusion I would say that I strongly recommend Gilmag Safaris. They are fabulous company; well-run, and clearly cares about customers and their satisfaction.

Amazing 3-week safari in Botswana
We had a lovely safari through Botswana, organised by Fleet Foot Safari, guided by the owner Hennie. From the pre-booking until the end of the trip all was so good organized by his staff and by Hennie himself !!! He cooks like a chef, his sense of humour is great, his knowledge about fauna, flora and wildlife is amazing !!! we enjoyed it so much and we recommend Fleet Foot Safaris for a trip in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa !!!

Happy to Share!
Thanks to Raymond, our three days safari and Tanzania trip was very smooth and nice! He understood what we needed and looked after us very well. We were very happy to meet him. We will come back to Tanzania.
Asante Sana Rafiki!

No royal over this, only scam!
Me and my boyfriend went to Tanzania to go to a safari. We had used so many hours finding the best deal.
We wrote a lot with the man John, and we agreed with the price 1125usd pr pax.
We paid for a flight to Arusha, and accommodation before the safari.
12 hours (at 8pm) before the safari started, John came to the place we stayed, saying he wanted 2000usd pr pax more!! He said he didn’t knew that the price of the national parks had changed because of high season.
We discussed a lot, and the only alternatives he could give us, where worse accommodations and we still had to pay 45usd more!!
When we didn’t agreed with this, because we had a deal on 1125usd, the only option he said was to canceled the trip.
1 day before the trip got cancelled he told us we had to pay for the safari, so we made a bank transaction to him.
When we wanted our money back because he cancelled the trip, we could not have all the money back, because he didn’t want to pay the transaction fee (that we had payed, so he could get the money quick). So the only option was that we had to pay for the fee to get some of our money back!
Afterwards we found out that the price change caused by high season, was something everybody in Tanzania knew about and had known for several month, so it was a total scam that he said didn’t knew, he only wanted more money!
Worst experience ever! Don’t book safari with the company!
