Excellent
In summary: We are very pleased and highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda tours.
We are very happy we booked the tour with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Bartho responded quick to all our questions which made the booking very easy. The organization was perfect, we got picked up and dropped at our hostel before/after the safari. The car was in good condition and Mohammed was a safe driver. He always considered our wishes to stop to take pictures and asked us after a stop whether we want to continue or keep watching the animals. Abdullah was a great chef, we got lots of tasty food (always 3 courses). The lodges and the camping site were good too -> definitely a good value for being a budget safari.
About the game drives itself (we did the 5 day tour -> Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara): We got to see so many great animals -> the big 5 and many more! Many animals came quite close which was very nice!

BEST TANZANIA SAFARI!
This Tanzania safari was by far one of my best travel experiences to date! Iddy from Samora Explorers made my trip one to remember and he went above and beyond to make sure I was having a good time all the time! I got to see the Big 5, the food was healthy and delicious, the national parks were all amazing, and the accommodation was great! Highly recommend booking a Tanzania Safari with Samora Explorers! Can't wait to visit again!

Reliable, communicative, and competent
We chose Lion King to do a seven day tour in the Northern Circuit. The company is very well organized and the staff is competent and reliable. The booking was smooth, we had zero hiccup during the tour, and the comfort level was above and beyond our expectations.
We especially want to thank and recommend our guide Mwita, who is very knowledgeable about the animals and the parks. He has eagle eyes for animal spotting! We had so many exciting moments watching animals in action up close such as lions feeding, mating, giraffes running and so much more.
On top of that, Mwita is an excellent driver who used to be a car mechanic, so you don’t have to worry about your Jeep breaking down in the middle of the road. His love and passion for nature and wild animals really shine through and we feel very lucky to have met him and have had him as our guide for this unforgettable experience. Try to request Mwita as your guide if possible!
We feel sad ending our Safari trip, but it has been truly wonderful to see the amazing landscapes of Tanzania and the beautiful animals that were born to roam on the endless plain. "Serengeti shall not die."
We would definitely consider to come back to Tanzania in the future to visit other National Parks and Lion King Adventures would be our first choice.

Unparalleled trip planning
We got in touch with Chloe at Off2Africa Travel for help in putting together a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Zimbabwe.
The attention to detail from Chloe was incredible. Our email thread ran to over 100 messages, covering everything from the accommodation, the activities, the choice of game reserve and the camp used within it, the methods of travel and the changes to Zimbabwe's entry and exit requirements due to Covid-19.
This level of contact speaks to someone who cares passionately about providing a first-rate travel experience - and, what's more, Chloe does so in such a friendly manner. It was actually quite a disappointment that we weren't in Victoria Falls long enough to meet her in person because she had played such a big part in our trip.
There is no way we would have had anything like this package had we booked it ourselves. Chloe knew which Sunset Cruise to book on the Zambezi in order to be on the only boat that goes towards the Falls and thus has unobstructed views and sees wildlife (as well as provides delicious canapés and drinks). It was Chloe who knew that Mana Pools rather than Hwange was the destination if we had our hearts set on seeing Wild Dogs. And when the dinner and dancing spectacle at The Boma wasn't available on the night we were in Victoria Falls, it was Chloe who recommended a township dining experience at Dusty Road instead which we agreed was much more what we were after.
Even when our flights out of Zimbabwe (which were not part of our Off2Africa package) were cancelled at short notice, Chloe was immediately in touch offering to help us find an alternative flight.
In short, if you are booking a Zimbabwe break and want an agent to take care of every detail and every concern, Off2Africa is the place to go.

Awesome Honeymoon Trip to Africa with the Best Tour Operator – Ongeri Expeditions
I recently had a honeymoon trip to Africa arranged by Ongeri Expeditions, and the first thing that I wanted to do is to share my experience. It was simply amazing, fabulous and a very memorable journey. We had no problems at all till the end. The comfort and beauty of Africa, and the incredible parks where we got to see all the live animal action provided us with great knowledge of the animal kingdom, the delicious food and the history we learned from our competent and friendly tour guide Mr. Martin. The resort was amazing, where we found peace with excellent service, nearer to beach view from the swimming pool was beautiful. Thank you so much, Ongeri Expeditions & Mr. Martin for making my Honeymoon experience amazing and delightful.

Liked that the tour company also arranged our rental vehicle
We are all independent travelers and had a basic Namibia itinerary planned before we contacted Lilly at Great Explorations Namibia. We were afraid we were trying to see too much in a short period of time so wanted advice from a travel professional. We were referred to Lilly and her company through another tourism friend. Lilly was very helpful and quick to answer questions and finalize our travel plans. She gave us pricing for each hotel and she also suggested various excursions . The bonus is she has a partnership with a car rental company and was able to arrange our rental vehicle. We felt comfortable with the rental since it had a tracking system so if we had any problems, they would know we might need assistance ( we did have a flat tire but it was very easy to get it repaired in the next town since the rental company had a repair contact who took us right away). We loved Namibia and saw a lot (Did a counter clockwise circle from Windhoek ). But there is still more to see - some day we will be back and will definitely use Great Explorations Namibia

Tanzania - Simply the best travel destination in Africa.
I had been on safari in some African countries however in Tanzania I found the best experience ever, from the quality parks and beaches to the friendly people. In March 2022 we travelled to Tanzania, three nights in Zanzibar , four night in Serengeti and one night in Arusha. Everything was excellent planned. Nema did an amazing job planning our trip. In fact because I had a family problem I asked her to cancel all arrangements ten days before the trip and finally because I was able to travel she managed to rebook everything just four days before leaving!!! She did such a great job! Zanzibar was beautiful and the accommodation at Fun beach hotel super! There are no words to describe the safari! Our driver and guide Chris was very knowledgeable and friendly! He spotted all the big 5 and many more!!! The accommodation in the park was also excellent. We changed lodge every night and all were perfect and their staff very friendly.
I highly recommend Mgalaa Expeditions to plan your trip to Tanzania!!! I am thinking of doing the Kilimanjaro mountain...however need to start training a bit !

Discover Africa Gave Us An Amazing South African Honeymoon
From the very beginning, it was so easy and convenient to get in touch with Discover Africa, and specifically Antoinette Van Heerden. Antoinette was extremely responsive and amenable to all our emails and requests for accommodations, diets, and preferences for our 10 day honeymoon in Cape Town, Kruger National Park, and Livingstone/Victoria Falls. The accommodations that Discover Africa partners with and where we stayed were simply out of this world. As an example, our Cape Town hotel sat at the foot of Table Mountain with a dramatic view! The food was also stellar. All our transfers from airports to hotel and internal flights were completely seamless and set up completely by Discover Africa. All of this was at a very reasonable price. Discover Africa / Antoinette even provided us a helpful mini-booklet that provided us with suggestions on dealing with the weather, clothes, bugs, tipping, covid guidelines, etc. My wife and I felt so prepared for our full trip including safari and other tours. We had a magical honeymoon that we will never forget, thanks to the dedication of Discover Africa and Antoinette.
