One of the best trips EVER!
Kruger National Park was amazing. We did a sunset drive and an all day drive and saw SO many animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, a leopard, baboons, warthogs. It truly is an incredible experience to see the animals in their element like that, and it's even more fun for it to be a surprise about what animals you will end up seeing. Norman was amazingly accommodating, and made everything easy, including travel to and from Johannesburg, booking our hotel and game drives and telling us about the people and culture of South Africa. This trip was life changing, and I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing so!

Wonderful experience
Did a 3 day fly-in safari from Arusha. I think fly-in worked out great, we probably avoided a 7 hour drive on rough roads in one stretch (we drove back, but in 3 days).
Wildlife was great. Caught Big 5 and a hunt. Rhino was hard to find, still caught a couple.
We visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro, both were mainly open areas with few trees. We also visited Lake Manyara which was a thick forest where we saw different types of monkeys and birds.
We were also able catch a part of the Great Migration just south of Serengeti, which was a wonderful sight.
I used safaribookings.com to get quotes from multiple companies. They followed up to ensure the companies responded.
We ended up using Soul of Tanzania, which was a great choice. The pricing was broken down clearly and they were very flexible with accommodation options.
They also provided hot lunches including wine set up with a nice table and all and small taste of Tanzanian food (most others we saw were box lunches).
Guide was excellent. Overall a great experience.

This was not just a vacation it was an exceptional experience!
From the first email from Heidi Bedford we knew that we were in good and professional hands. From the what about questions to how does this all work enquiries Heidi was quick to respond and always friendly and informative. Our African Adventure has become our favourite tour ever! The itinerary planned for us met all of our needs. A personal and enthusiastic greeting at the Cape Town airport was very welcome to the weary travellers. All of our guides were amazing and the tours we had with each one were way beyond our expectations. Nine game drives has left us hungry for more. The scenery is outstanding, and we loved the wine tram in Franschhoek. The elephant walk on my birthday was the icing on the cake. We think we will definitely be back! And Pembury Tours will be our guide again!

Excellent Ethiopia tour company
Sam at Gamel tours is one of the best operator I have dealt with. From the first communication, she organized our trip to fit our plans and desires, making helpful suggestions when requested. She remained in contact with us throughout our visit, ensuring our expectations were met. The tour was priced very reasonably and the hotels very clean and nice.
Our drivers during the tour did a wonderful job. The vehicles were spacious and well maintained. We felt safe despite some poor road conditions and congested traffic.
Our guides were knowledgeable and communicated well in English. They were prompt and kept us well informed of details.
I would not hesitate to book again with Gamel Tours should we return to Ethiopia.

Meticulate and articulate staff who seem to enjoy what they do!
Hassle free booking and relaxing safari. Very helpful staff who ensured that my family was comfortable. This is the second time I have booked a safari with Kwezi safaris and they have always delivered. I contacted them at the last minute, requesting for a quiet and scenic safari to just unwind and they were quick to deliver a package at a reasonable price that included horse riding and nature walks. We took a scenic bike ride in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. We got to wake up to the sounds of birds chirping (though at one point a pesky bird got to peck on our window and so had to chase that particular bird away..haha)..All-in-all, a relaxing safari, just what we wanted..

Meticulous Tour guides
I have used the sovereign tour and safaris for visiting various groups to different destinations within Kenya and the East African region severally. They deliver on price and offer various choices to look at so as to work within my budget. I have used them for conferences at work place and even personally for family vacations
They are deliver and follow up on our comfort. Ensure the experience is smooth and they are available and on call throughout my tours. I would highly recommend the company.

Think travels is the best!
I booked a Cape Town trip with Think travels and it was such a good experience. Muthoni is amazing and really professional. Everything was well articulated and timely. We had a great experience from the hotel, villa, hotel pick ups, tour guide and flights. We literally lived our dream through Cape Town. I would highly recommend them.

What a great experience!!!
The trip to Murchison Falls National park was excellent. Everything was above my expectation and I felt very lucky to see such natural beauty. Our tour guide Peter was knowledgeable and experienced. We highly recommend The shuttle Tours!

Excellent care taken of us, courteous, , and extremely good value for money .
From when we were picked up to when we we dropped off after our 5 day Safari , where we saw the Big 5 and so so much more , we were treated like royalty . The hotels Oakland chose for us were superb , our driver and guide Boniface became a good friend and went over and beyond to make sure we didn’t miss anything . Cannot fault them in any way whatsoever. And would highly recommend Oakland Tours to anyone looking for a Safari holiday.
