Very professional and amusing
Using the services of Simba 4x4 Tours was a great experience. Malcolm has provided us a nice and professional service. He knows the best places to go and has an amazing knowledge about safaris. We were delighted.
We are looking forward to coming back and making a longer safari with him.

Highly recommended company
On my to do list : A Safari in Africa. This is what I always dream on since my young age. We decided my girlfriend and I to take a trip to Tanzania to do a Safari. The Price in Canada are so expensive, so we decide to go with a local company and we found Wanyama African safari . I exchanged many email with Shabani (40 emails to be honest). The reply was always fast and seems to be a good company. But since we arrived at Kili (JRO) airport, I had somes doubts. Our drive and Guide Francis was there with a little sign with my name on it. From this moment my doubt was gone. He was there. Francis is a really good guide and a good men! A big talker and a big fan of wildlife. He picked up at the airport to dropped us at our first hotel. Shabani met us in the evening at our hotel to explain to us how it gonna work. He gaves us 3 phones numbers to join him 24h/7. WoW we are in confidence now in Wanyama African safari . You can trust them. We chose to go with Mixing safari with Lodge and Camping. If you ever choose camping, choose the place you want to stay because Shabani told me we can hear the roar of lions and the laughter of the hyenas while we camp, but the reality is we camp at the hotel camp site, which was outside of the parks site. So we slept in the yard of the hotel, it was like camp in my backyard with the sound of an angry women crying at her husband probably to drunk. The good part of the Camping is Anthon (our Cook) a real nice guy who prepare nice, simple but really good meal during camping. Back in Canada we tried to find a soup greater than Anthon's one, but for now we are unable!!! For the Lodge part, we stayed at Ikoma Camp Site. A really nice place where we met Pepe, the owner of the hotel. A funny and good men! But we ate the same things for 3 days! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! Ikoma is a good place go (beautiful and relaxing) but don't go there for the food. Tanzania remains on my do to list. I hope in the next few years! And I will take Wanyama African safari again for my trip! I hope the best for this company and you can trust them for your dream to make a Safari

An oustanding experience. Well organised and flexible with our personal requests.
Our safari was way beyond our expectations; it was simply wonderful. Of course it could hardly have been anything else given the sheer beauty of the Namibian landscape and the wonderful wildlife in Etosha. But we have to thank you for putting it all together so that we could experience so much of your great country. The details of the organisation all worked perfectly, the accommodation was excellent, the food was good, but above all our guide Kit was the perfact ’fit’ for us and we rapidly became good friends. His knowledge and experience was oustanding and we believe we could not have had a better exposure to all that Namibia has to offer, thanks to his guidance.
Having approached our safari with just a little apprehension – it was our first visit to Africa – we are now extolling the virtues of a Namibin safari to all our friends.

Good memories
Hi Richard,
hope you are well.
Following your nice pics on facebook and me and my whole family ist remembering 2015.
What a great adventure. You showed us a lot of magical places, and indeed, you are the real "lion man" referring my most beloved animals.
Ndutu was great, also our trip through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conversation area.
Remember the food-stealing-baboons at the gate ?
No matter, we'd like to do this again with you as the best guide in future along with the new company you are working.
You told us so much interesting.
See you hopefully soon again and best greetings and wishes from Andrea, Robin, Daniel and myself !
And still my heart lives in beautiful Tanzania.

Epic 6 day safari
Well organized your that was reasonably priced. Organizing was easy and John peter very easy to deal with. No hidden costs. Accommodation varied in standard depending on location you were doing safari and how remote you were but was always satisfactory. Our guide John was very knowledgeable not only about wildlife but also about any questions ranging from culture to politics and many more. I have done many safaris throughout Africa and would rate him very highly. Vehicle 4 x 4 landcrusier well maintained and clean. No mechanical issues. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding
Everything about African Ubuntu Safaris was outstanding. From the communication in booking our holiday (a massive thank you to Diederik for putting our itinerary together) through to the guides, accommodation, food and experiences with the wildlife, particularly the gorillas and the habituation day with the chimps, we couldn't have wished for a better holiday. Will definitely book with African Ubuntu Safaris again.

Unforgettable Experience, Exceeded All of our Expectations!
I highly recommend booking through Africa Flash McTours for any Safari adventures! From the planning months in advance, to the moment we were dropped off after our incredible adventure was over, we loved every second. We did a 3 day Masai Mara Safari with pickup and drop off in Nairobi. It was amazing! Our driver, Edward, was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, professional, and kind. He answered all of my questions about the villages we passed through to get to the Mara, the Masai culture, Kenya in general, and of course about the incredible number of animals we were privileged to see, almost always up close, on our game drives. The game drives were beyond words. Our Kenyan and Masai Mara adventure has been the trip of a lifetime! I highly recommend Africa Flash McTours no matter what and where you hope to see in Kenya! Excellent service all around!

Amazing safari, highly recommend
Wonderful 4 day safari! From the start everything was exceptional. The tour guide was knowledgeable and fun to be around. The tour guide taught us a lot about the animals and made sure everything ran smoothly and we were all taken care of. We saw all of the big five and tons more animals! The cook catered to my dietary needs (I have celiac disease and he made sure I always had good gluten free food to eat). The camping equipment was in great shape and everything was provided. The lodge we stayed at by lake manyara was very nice and comfortable. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend going on safari with Magufwa!

DRC with amazing company!
I travelled alone from Rwanda to DRC to Uganda for three weeks.
I went with my guide (barack) and I was happy that I did that! it was worth the peace of mind to travel with a local, get picked up and having a very good company!
I went with barack from kigali to DRC (Nyiragongovolcano), to Kabale Uganda.
I planed these three days in advanced from Holland with barack himself.
After a really nice and cosy ride to gisenyi by night, barack dropt me at the hostel. A arranged it by my self, but barack suggested it for the same price as hostelworld.
the next morning we went to DRC and to the nyiragongo volcano. that night I was nerves about drc, but it was super safe at that moment. barack knows the people, the roads and off course how everything works at the border. so it was a good and nice feeling with him.
the nyiragongo volcano was amazing!!! one of the best things i have ever seen in the world!! We were only with 5 tourist to do the trip and like 8 people staff (rangers, cooks, porters). i really recommend everybody to do this trip and sleep one night on top of this volcano.
After the volcano I went with Barack to Goma, get a small ride through the city and getting to Kabale Uganda.
I got Barack his contact from the volunteers organization Big Beyond by Facebook (they recommend him).
They said that he was a really trustable and funny guy. And that was totally true!!!
I arranged everything from home and spoke about the price.
Barack is starting his own (small) company with fair prices! He is not asking more than if you don't use a guide and asking less than the big companies on internet.
I really recommend everybody to contact Barack if you would like to have a nice and funny guide for everything in Goma District!!
For my, everything was worth it with amazing company!!
