Unforgettable experience
My wife and I spent amazing 5-day camping safari with Seven Wonders!
The communication with Evelyn was very efficient and clear from the beginning. Our guide Hossa was super professional and we saw the Big Five and like 20+ new mammals. Guide's wildlife knowledge, dinner stories and customer understanding were on really good level. He really pushed hard to get a journey of a lifetime. Special thanks to our chef Gottfied also, who managed to prepare delicious dinner in basic camping environment.
We saw cheetah family chasing and making a meal of warthogs. Lioness was chasing on buffalos and hyenas feasting on zebra carcass. Authentic and amazinf stuff!
I had really high expetations to the safari, but all of them were exceeded with 7 Wonders. Highly recommended!

Amazing 4 day Masai Mara Lake Nakuru Safari with Right Choice Tours and Safaris
The communication with George and Millicent, owners of Right Choice Tours and Safaris, was excellent with quick turn around right from the beginning. They were quick to give us suggestions but also allowed us to customize our trip to the Mara and Lake Nakuru. With fifteen people in our family, ages 11 to 73, we had the trip of a lifetime! Three fabulous guides, Tom, Moses, and SK, with smiling faces met us at NBO and became part of our family for 4 days. They showed us Kenya, the back roads in the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru with 6 intense game drives that allowed us to view most of the wild in theses reserves. We saw 4 of the Big Five. That Leopard was hiding from us, but he was there. The accommodations, food and service were excellent at Keekarok Lodge in the Mara and Sopa Lodge at Nakuru. At our request, we were taken to a Maasai Village near the Maasai Mara. This was a cultural and educational highlight for our family. A cake and song and dance to celebrate my husband and my 50th wedding anniversary was awaiting us at Sopa Lodge-a pleasant surprise. We could ask for nothing greater than what we experienced with Right Choice. Thanks George and Millicent.

Moorland Safari Experience in December 2019
I went on a safari with Moorland safaris with my son and had a great time.
Communication worked well with Nasr.
Ilyas picked us at Kilimanjaro airport and dropped us at Arusha Sheraton and also dropped us back at the airport on the return.
Food and the accommodation were extremely good, especially at Domel and Ngorongoro.
I would strongly recommend Moorland and would definitely go with them when I do my next safari trip.

Wonderful Safari experience!
Everything was good and our expectations have been satisfied completely!
Colin, the driver, is nice and funny and loves this job (and knows Italian very well)
The accomodations for the nights are wonderful, especially the Manyatta Camp (tent highly suggested)
The park is stunning and we’ve seen a lot of wonderful scenarios and animals

Private camping safari
The communication with Thale, planning the safari was great. She provided lots of options for us to suit or requests as best as possible. The transfers and itinerary was all sorted well prior to our trip. We opted for the Panorama route and 3 day safari private camping safari. The Panorama route was nice, however could have maybe reduced the number of stops or given more options of stops. God's window was nice, Berlin falls was okay, not something I would personally have on a paid tour. The camp site by the Blyde River canyon was great, super quiet on the night we stayed and a lovely morning sunrise before setting off to Kruger N.P. The safari was excellent, we were lucky to see practically everything we were expecting to see. Lungasani was an absolute star, such a hard worker and great personality for the trip. Chris was a good guide for the trip and assisted where he could. We do feel like the information provided about the wildlife and ecosystems could have been provided more than it was. We don't feel like we learned too much about the animals or ecosystem, (however me and my partner are both ecologists) more tidbits of info would have been appreciated. Additionally, we did a bush walk and night drive, this was done with SANS park, and booked within the trip by Thale. The food was amazing on the trip, and the Skukuza rest camp was clean and comfortable enough. The tents and camping gear was all provided by Wild Planet Safari, the tent was a good size and effective enough for the trip, the mattresses could have been a bit more comfortable, but we slept well anyway as the safari is jammed packed with drives! So we were tired enough to sleep through the hard floor in the rest camp. Overall, the safari by Wild Planet Safari was excellent and I would highly recommend to other travelers.

Ultimate African adventure
I did a camping tour with them from Cape Town to Victoria Falls, was an amazing experience.
I did some travelling already in my life, but Keith our driver from Zimbabwe was far the best guide I have met in my life. His knowledge was impressive about everything from geology, culture, wildlife.

A thorough and bespoke service
Melanie is a receptive and informed travel agent who helped us come up with the perfect itinerary for our trip to southern Africa. Having never been to this region before, she ensured we had all the information we needed, managed our expectations and provided a high level of service for our trip.

Excellent experience from start to finish
I enquired about a safari with CATS Africa through Safaribookings, and they replied very quickly with all relevant details. Joyce was then very helpful and responsive in planning my safari until we got to the perfect trip for what we wanted and our budget. Payment was confirmed very quickly, which was reassuring. Everything was very professional, and other members of the office (John and Anne) were also helpful.
On the actual safari, everything went perfectly! Our driver/guide, Cyrus, picked us up exactly as arranged and off we went. Cyrus was not only very knowledgeable about the parks we went to and the wildlife, but also about modern Kenya in general and he was very interesting to talk to over our 5 day trip. He was experienced, kind and helpful. We went in 4x4 (Which I would personally recommend over a minibus) and it was really comfortable. We visited Nakuru, Naivasha and the Masai Mara - the trip was well planned in terms of time spent in each area and our accommodation was great. And of course we saw some amazing wildlife! The variety of the three parks was excellent, and while there was a fair amount of driving, it didn't feel like too much to me - especially as the road to the Mara is now pretty much fully paved. It was a bit wet in the Mara but that's December I think, and can only be a good thing. There was still a really high density of wildlife to be seen.
Overall, a fantastic experience that we won't forget for all the right reasons! CATS Africa are a trustworthy and experienced operator and I'd have no hesitation recommending them to others arranging a safari in Kenya.

Personable service, competent and accommodating staff
It was my first trip to Zimbabwe and it was thoroughly enjoyable. We used Zambezi for all land transfers and hotel accommodation for game drives / safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana and everything ran like clockwork. Liaised with Laura before the trip and she worked around my preferred itinerary, picked us at the airport and reminded us of our itinerary daily. Norman drove us around all 5 days, covering both Zimbabwe and Botswana. When I needed transport to check into another hotel, Oscar turned up in a booked cab to pick us up in 20 minutes even though it was an ad-hoc request. The commitment and personalized service rendered by the staff was highly commendable. Would not hesitate to recommend Zambezi to anyone wishing to have a fuss-free, safe and enjoyable safari experience.
