Amazing experience and unforgettable moments!
I booked all my tours with Kisambi Tours and I can highly recommend it! I went to a two days Safari, did the climb to Kilimanjaro and lots of other tours. The Materuni Village is a also a must see while beeing in Tanzania. There were always really good tour guides, good food and everything was well prepared. I had an amazing time. Thanks to Elisante who organized everything so perfectly!

Absolutely professional, rooted in local and traditional Chagga culture
My three friends and I booked a DAY TRIP TO MATERUNI WATERFALL AND COFFEE TOUR and it was simply great. A lot of people focus on hiking up to Uhuru Peak only (I am not saying it is not worth the adventure!) but miss out on the natural beauty (a stunning waterfall) and bio-cultural diversity (experiencing Chagga traditions, food, and participating in a coffee experience) of the Southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. While walking to the waterfall, our guide introduced us to the Chagga culture and local nature. Once we arrived to the waterfall, we could take as much time as we wanted to enjoy it and relax there. Afterwards, Elisante and his family welcomed us with a festive lunch (which we ordered as vegan food: very delicious). Our day ended with a coffee experience which included lots of information about traditional coffee making but also dancing, singing as well as tasting the freshly roasted and brewed coffee. We took two bags home as a souvenir.
Communication, service, and reliability were outstanding and it is absolutely worth the money. I would ever do it again and maybe even stay one night in Elisante's guest house to get the full local experience!

Reliable, communicative - lovely people.
This was my second Safari with Kewzi outdoors. They're so easy to work with especially as I had last minute itinerary changes. They communicated with the lodges and made sure our dietary requirements were taken care of.
Sam was our guide both times, he was so excellent - he has an amazing breadth of knowledge, and is so lovely and kind.
Highly recommended

Beautifully tailored, friendly, clear and professional
Webster got back to me in a very short time. I explained to him exactly what I wanted and he tailored it beautifully. All with a calm, friendly and highly professional manner.
I definitely advise hiring him as a tour operator (and also as a guide).

Terrific and Professional!
I did a 7-day tour with Bamboo Ecotours, including both Rwanda/Uganda. They were very helpful in also adding Akagera to their more standard 6 day Rwanda & Uganda Wildlife Safari itinerary. Edison and our driver/guide Fred were very professional and went above and beyond throughout. I would highly recommend them. It was an absolutely incredible experience.

Perfect! It was the most amazing journey of our lives!
We had the most incredible trip of our lives because of Gondwana tours! We saw so much wildlife (lions, leopards, hippo's a honeybadger lots and lots of elephants) it really is too much to put down in words. And all the places we stayed where amazing! We have spent our times in such lovely and beautiful camps. The quality was topnotch. I'm really missing Botswana, and look back to this trip with so much joy. The trip really couldn't be done better.
Especially thanks to Mark, he came with a tailormade plan for us and he really went above and beyond to help and create the best journey there is. He gave us great tips and advice and he was really thinking along with us (also to keep it in our budget). I would not hesitate for a second to book (again) with Gondwana. We are definitely going back some day! Everything was arranged perfectly!
So if you're thinking about going with Gondwana, just do it. You won't be disappointed!

A KZN adventure for the books...
Michelle at Fleet Foot Safaris put together a fabulous adventure for this group of 15 Americans, Australians, and South Americans who traveled together for 13 days and nights in November 2022 throughout the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa. Game reserves with elephants, rhinos, and lions, deep-sea fishing and languid beaches of the Indian Ocean, montane vistas in the spectacular Drakensberg Mountains, all arranged in one convenient itinerary without any excess driving distances. Fleet Foot Safaris has an uncanny knack for finding accommodations that consistently exceed expectations, and deliver surprises in the landscape settings, the meals, and the optional activities. This is the second time that Fleet Foot has arranged a customized safari adventure for my friends, family, and colleagues - it won't be the last!

Perfect Service
The service literally exceeded our expectations, from organizing the trip in every little detail to the actual communication with the guide. We were not only treated with great professionalism but also managed to feel a flexible, personalized approach. Every question was answered and any request was taken care of. A special thanks to Lodi, our guide for his great service and patience.

The best experience, beyond our expectation!
Our experience with White Plains Safaris and Joseph was amazing! The service was impeccable since the very beginning: during the reservation process Joseph was extremely helpful, flexible and very honest. After booking he supported us in any way he could, including paying for our Visas as we had some issues doing that online by ourselves! He was also very helpful in creating the itinerary, which proved to be amazing as it offered great game drives and diversity of landscape.
Things kept being perfect throughout our trip; the accommodations he had reserved were very nice and always positioned perfectly, to avoid extra driving. During the game drives he was very accommodating and always asking for our feedback to make sure we had the best time. He brought us in amazing spots thanks to his unstoppable Land Cruiser and we got to see many animals including 3 leopards from very close! We also enjoyed his company very much and he was always able to answer our questions and providing interesting insights on the animals, the parks and Kenya in general. We always felt safe and well taken care of, so I would (and will) strongly recommend Joseph and White Plains to anyone looking for a good time in Kenya and Tanzania.
