It is a fantastic country!!
South Africa is a fantastic country for vacation. It has everything from wildlife, excitement to beach life.
This time I spent 2,5 weeks in Cape West next time I will go to the east.

Awe inspiring landscape and wildlife for everyone to enjoy on a trip of a lifetime.
I enjoyed 5 days traveling in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater viewing the amazing wildlife and the treasures of Africa. I was amazed at the number of animals that share the national parks. Soul of Tanzania and our driver Walter provided a lifetime of memories and I have so many pictures and adventures to share with family and friends. The tent camping experience was fantastic. I would go again.

Wonderful safari experience!
We had a great experience with our safari in Tanzania. Safari By Z proved to be a great tour operator, providing our family with the safari we wanted. They were very helpful and flexible in setting up our tour, enabling us to pick the schedule, camps and locations we wanted. Our guide, Isaya was very experienced and a good fit with our 12 year old daughter. I would recommend Tanzania for anyone considering a safari. If you have a chance to see the great migration it's a real highlight! I also recommend that people design their own safari so that you get the experience you want.

I am strongly recommending Shammah Wonders Safari!
My family and I booked a 2 days safari in Nyerere National Park with flights from and to Zanzibar and an overnight stay at Africa Safari Lodge.
Justine was very service minded and helpful in planning our trip. He listened to all our wishes and made adjustments such that we got the program we wanted (game drive and boat safari on day 1 and game drive and bush walk on day 2), got to stay in the lodge we requested and were offered a very reasonable price.
The safari itself was amazing! We had a very good car allowing us to get close to the animals. Our guide, Elihakim Sehaba, was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and knew the national park inside out, allowing us to see a lot of beautiful scenery and many exciting animals (incl. lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, baboons and many more).
The lodge where we stayed was also very comfortable with big bungalows, good food, a bar, pool, etc.
We could not have had a better experience!

Fantastic experience!!
Excellent safari—saw all the big 5!!! Suricata had amazing customer service!!! Especially appreciate Hillary’s availability by text the night before as well as throughout—just in case we needed anything. We requested a hotel stay instead of camping (had just come off hiking Kilimanjaro and were craving some creature comforts); our stay was at the newly opened operator resort: Suricata Boma Lodge. It was one of the most beautiful resorts I have ever stayed in, and the all inclusive dinner was stellar.
All pick ups and transfers were on-time and exactly as promised, which was a relief and different from other experiences in Africa we have had.
Would recommend again!

Great camping safari with awesome guide.
We booked a 4 day camping safari (group tour) for 2 people. The booking process went well, Tizia answered all my questions. We were picked up from Kilimanjaro International Airport and dropped off to our hotel for the night.
Our guide Gordon was very knowledgible about the parks and animals, and was willing and able to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend Gordon if he is your guide. The food was also very good, prepared by chef Tito. He catered for several vegetarians in the tour groups.

Trustworthy, Reliable, Outstanding Communications, Truly Exceptional!!
Probably the best organised trip/adventure we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing (and we have travelled extensively) and its all thanks to Rochelle. Absolutely nothing was too much hassle for her and she answered every question at speed.
Everything worked like clockwork, from turning up in Johannesburg and all transfers being organised, all the way to the Safaris and accommodation (which was some of the most beautiful we have ever experienced)
Even during the trip, she took the time to wish my partner her a happy birthday and hoped we were having a fantastic time!
The safari was a life altering trip and as a well travelled couple we thought we had seen nearly everything....thankfully we were wrong and it turned out to be perfect. What's not to enjoy about following a Leopard in the dark, only feet from your vehicle or watching Hyena walk past your accommodation at 11pm at night. Truly truly amazing!
Thank you so much Rochelle (SafariLife) for everything you done. What a tour operator, one of the best if not the best!!

Either a scam or terrible customer service
Watch out! I had been discussing our boat safari via email with Xaa Safaris since January of 2023 just to arrive in Maun in July of 2023 to find that my deposit had been stolen and no boat was waiting for us. I accepted a quote, completed the paperwork, signed and sent it through as requested, then on the same email string, banking details were provided for me to pay the deposit. Upon phoning them a day prior to the excursion, they said no payment had been received, and this is when it came to light that right after I emailed the signed contract, the correspondence address changed from [email protected] to [email protected]. In the same string replying, this was not noticeable, so the money was paid via EFT and the receiving account was emptied - nothing I can do to have the funds returned. I have no proof that Xaa Safari is the culprit. However, considering the timing at which the fake email address became active and the fact that they never tried to follow up on our booking, despite having (via the legitimate email address) received a signed contract with all our personal details, this is either extremely poor customer service, or more likely an inside job.

Moremi North July 2023
We arrived in darkness ath the campsite in the bush at the riverside. And we were surprised about the comfort and the excellent kitchen in the middle of the mopane forest. When ever we arrived back at the camp everything was well and lovingly prepared. The table was ready, the campfire burned all chairs have been nicely arranged, the beds were made, water fpr washing was ready... The stuffmembers were very friedndy and always cocerned about our safety and comfort.
I suggest to take an hammock with you- it is enjoyable for resting and I suggest to make at least an half day mokoro trip.
The guides were very keen and sucsessfull to show us nice places and a grand variaty of game.
