EXCELLENT SERVICES
I found it very much important to share my experience which i got in Uganda, I and my family we booked a 8 days safari with Bright Safaris Uganda 4 months before the travel date and we had to pay 70% of the amount we had agreed and we paid 30% balance in 60 days before we travelled.
We really enjoyed the time we spent in Uganda because we were even lucky that by the time we visited the country there was no any case for COVID 19 that guaranteed us safety and really it was.
I want to express my appreciation to the tour guide who made sure everything goes smoothly as expected and surely he was knowledgeable and professional.
Hope to see you soon when the Pandemic has been chest away

We had a great experience researching and booking through The Safari Partners!
This was the most AMAZING trip! What an beautiful part of the world! What an adventure! My husband and I traveled to Kenya & Zanzibar for our honeymoon and it was the experience of a lifetime! We highly recommend booking through The Safari Partners! Chris was extremely knowledgeable and had great recommendations for Africa. He worked closely with us on what we were hoping to experience and had many suggestions within our budget. Jennifer was also a great help in getting all of our documents organized before our trip. From the moment we landed in Kenya, everything was organized from airport pickups to hotel, Safari and airport check-ins. Everyone we met along the way was so friendly! We HIGHLY recommend the Safari Partners and hope to be able to book with them again soon!!

The safari of a lifetime - a superb adventure
Going on safari in Africa is one of THE most exciting and enjoyable adventures there is. After a safari it’s easy to write a glowing piece about your guide and the safari you just experienced. It will be one of the most memorable endeavors most of us will experience - it’s that good. All of the guides are knowledgable and helpful when everything is going according to plan - but the measure of a guide is when things DON'T go according to plan. Such was my adventure......
From the beginning of my two country, safari [3 days in Hlane Royal Park, Eswatini and 3 days in Kruger National Park, South Africa] we were barely one step ahead of the borders closing due to the Corona virus.
I met my guide, Tendekayi Guni of Bumhi Safari at the Namaache-Lomahasha border crossing of Mozambique-Eswatini and we headed for Hlane Royal Park where I had accommodations for three nights. Once we arrived at the camp we went on an afternoon game drive where I finally saw my first rhinoceros in the wild. Wow, what magnificent animals! Our lodge was next to a watering hole and in the late afternoon about 7-8 Black Rhinoceros came to drink. Later that afternoon Tende advised me that the border between Eswatini and South Africa was probably going to close. On his good [and prescient] advice I opted to cut our stay in Eswatini short and make the crossing. It’s a good thing we did as the border did close and I would have been stuck in Eswatini.
Tendekayi Guni booked replacement accommodations for me at Skakuza, one of the several lodges in Kruger National Park. That afternoon was my first mini-disaster. The zipper of my safari pants broke. :/ Try as I might, I couldn’t get the recalcitrant zipper fixed. Tende took the safari pants into a tailor in a small town about 15 miles away, had the safari pants repaired, and returned them to me that night. I doubt many guides would have bothered. After Skakuza we departed for my remaining 3 days at a private lodge in Kruger National Park.
My experience in Kruger National Park were beyond what I had expected - I saw ALL of the Big Five - lion, elephant, leopard, rhinoceros and buffalo. Lots of all of them. In my previous safaris - the Maasai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti I didn’t see even one rhinoceros. I must have seen over 40 rhinos in Kruger and at least 10 in Hlane Royal Park, Eswatini. We even saw a rare pack of wild dogs, giraffe, Impala, hippopotamus, hyena and about every other critter in South Africa.
The highlight of my trip was my walking safari arranged by Tende. We had a White Rhinoceros come within about 30’-35’ of us. He came trotting up toward us and stopped and looked at us for awhile. He was HUGE, about as big as a big SUV and heavier. They’re considerably bigger than the Black Rhinoceros and, thankfully, not aggressive. They're magnificent.
All of this time, my guide Tende was keeping track of the border crossings and it soon became evident that I could not return to Mozambique as originally planned.
On the evening of March 21st South African Airways notified me that, as of March 20th, the day before, they discontinued ALL international flights. THANK YOU, South African Airways. They were the airline I’d flown on from IAD [International Airport Dulles] to Johannesburg and then on to Maputo, Mozambique. I was without a return flight and South African Airways offered NO assistance to their stranded passengers NOR a refund. I was forced to book a new, one-way flight via Etihad from Johannesburg via Abu Dhabi on back to IAD, Washington DC.
This was where my guide went above and beyond. Tende drove me 450 kilometer from my lodge in Kruger National Park to Johannesburg. That is going beyond what I would have expected and the mark of a GREAT guide who looks after his clients. If you’re planning a safari to southern Africa you can do no better than Tendekayi Guni and Bumhi Safaris. They are GREAT.
Trustworthy tour agent！
We couldn't be more happier with the choice made to go safari with Sino Africa Safari in last minute booking (only one week before we travelled). Jong was assigned to be our safari specialist and helped to plan the best itinerary and was totally patience in explaining all questions we had and was amazing!
Vincent was assigned to be our guide for our ten day safari who has been a safari guide over thirty years. He was so professional and with excellent driving skills.
All hotels we stayed were so nice, we especially loved to stay at Mara Fairmont, it was perfect luxury for our family. The rooms are comfortable, super clean, people are nice to us and food was great.
Everything was very well organized by Sino Africa Safari, thank you for the great experience. We wish to be back soon!

Our 5 Star Dream Safari
Gilmag Safaris is a very serious and wonderful safari outfitter. It has been few months since our last safari with Gilmag Safaris. From the day we departed Tanzania, Mary of Gilmag Safaris has been in touch, finding out how we are doing. We were recently pleasantly surprised when she called us to wish us good health during the Covid -19 Pandemic.
We booked a 6 day safari in November 2019 with Gilmag Safaris. The main reasons for choosing them were the positive reviews and price. We were fully satisfied with their services. Everything was perfectly and professionally arranged. We were very lucky to see the Big Five, all the cats with cubs!!! The visit to a Masai village in Ngorongoro was very interesting.
Thank you Gilmag Safaris and our main contact Mary for making our trip a success. We enjoyed every bits of it. I do recommend Gilmag Safaris team. Everyone in this company is great.

The Safari Itinerary was well planned and the choice of properties was top-notch based on the Budget. No Surprises whatsoever! I'm happy to recommend Pallid Safaris to other Travelers and I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.
Pallid Safaris, keep up the extraordinary service!
