Perfect fulfillment of all my desires
I found this company a few days before my trip through Safari Booking. Tongesai Mutematsaka promptly and thoroughly answered all my questions even late in the evening. We quickly agreed on everything. Upon arrival, he met me at the airport and took me to the hotel. All days of stay, he fully provided the embodiment of all my desires. On the first day, he organized a boat tour of the Zambezi. On the second, he took me to Botswana, where his friend organized first a three-hour boat tour along the Chobe River, and then a three-hour tour of the Chobe National Park. It was amazing. Huge crocodiles, hippos, buffaloes, giraffes, elephants, antelopes were literally at a distance of 3-4 meters. We also saw many other animals. Only lions could not be seen. On the third day, first there was an excursion to the Victoria Falls from Zimbabwe, and then from Zambia. Impressions are very strong. I highly recommend to see both sides (for this, put down a KAZA visa upon arrival). On the fourth day, a transfer to the airport was also carried out. Separately, I want to emphasize the reliability of Tongesai Mutematsaka. He was never late, fulfilled all my wishes, did not ask for extra money. And the prices are probably among the lowest in Victoria Falls. Let his car not very new, but reliable and he drives it very carefully. During the entire stay, there was not a single problem. I highly recommend!

Who could ask for anything more? An AMAZING MEMORIES (8 day) SAFARI!
GO! You will never regret it. WE SAW EVERYTHING including a leopard mommy suckling her cubs. The accomodations were 4 star (by choice-If I wanted a 5 star hotel, I would have stayed in NYC) and EXCELLENT. Alot of hot water all of the time, toilets cleaner than at home... Food that never stopped. WE started in Nairobi Kenya, went through the Amboseli Natl Park, Masai Mara, Lake Naivishu, Serengeti Natl Park, The NgoroNgoro crater, and everything else in between. We saw all of the BIG 5 and the Ugly 5 (Hyena, wildebeest, warthog, vulture, and the maribou stork), and every other animal that you never thought you'd see in the wild. We went into a MAASAI Village, and found out that they do their "business" in the bush; anywhere they want! People everywhere were so genuine, generous, and gentle. AND, we ended the trip in a resort on the isle of ZANZIBAR. Anne from Amazing Memories Safaris book our stay for 2 nights/3days. But, my husband couldn't get enough-we stayed for 11 days! Masala (chai) tea on a stunning rooftop restaurant full of beautiful views in every direction, after haggling in the markets in Stonetown. A Spice Plantation, The Rock Restaurant, Swimming with the dolphins, scubadiving with gorgeous tropical reef fish, and as if that wasn't enough, we went to "prison island (it was never used as a prison) where we saw a GIANT 200yr old TORTOISE! Monkey forests, gorgeous beaches, mangrove forests. UNFORGETTABLE. I have nothing negative to add. It was all AMAZING!

They did everything to make us have a good time....and we did.
Raymond is the guy.. He knows everyone, stopped to talk and phone and chat with all the other guides.
We were often first to a kill, and when a few other trucks turned up we went..
I did think that 7 days was too much. We did masai mara day 1&2, day 3 in Naivasha and the 4th in Nakuru, back to Hells Gate on day 5.bit then one of the tram fell sick so we dropped out..
Robert was good and managed the poorly guy around keeping the safari going for the others..

We had an amazing trip with Bigmac Safaris and Omar in Kenya!
With the help of Magdalena we planned and adjusted the tour after our individual wishes. Even a very spontaneous change of our starting point was no problem.
In Nairobi, we were picked up by our driver Omar.
Omar spoke English and German fluently and gave us a comfortable feeling.
Even though there were far distances to go, Omar was always relaxed and drove us safe and sound from highlight to highlight. With his very good local knowledge, his good connection to other guides, his commitment and particularly outstanding driving skills, he brought us quickly and as close as possible to the top animal spots! Thanks to his deep knowledge of the wildlife and the different resorts, it was not unusual to be the first car in place to track the big cats!
Thank you Omar and the whole Bigmac Safaris team for this amazing tour!

Great
I did the 8 day Lemosho route with Almighty Kilimanjaro which ended up being a solo trip due to unforeseen circumstances. Doing this climb solo was great as it allowed me to go at my own pace, taking as many or as little breaks as I wanted.
I really enjoyed this trip as my team were super helpful and amazing, and looked after me very well. My lead guide was Emanuel Mkumbo who was friendly and gave me lots of information about what to expect each day of the climb.
The porters were incredible and did such an excellent job of carrying and setting up camp each day. The cook kept me well fed, serving delicious two-course meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!
The team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and safe during my climb; they did everything they could to help me reach the summit, "one team, one dream" as they say.
Not only would I recommend climbing Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend climbing it with Emanuel and his team as you will be in friendly and safe hands. I would climb Kilimanjaro all over again with this team, and tip them double what I gave them as they really deserve it!

Native Afrika safari were excellent
I booked a tour with native Afrika safari. I got their contact through this website. I had inquired from 3 tour operators and Native Afrika gave the best package including everything we wanted to do and at great price.
David from native Africa liaised with me through out and gave valuable suggestions on how to make our trip memorable. We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers and had a great time. We divided our time 4 days for the safari and 4 days at diani beach. Everything from the time we landed at Nairobi to departure 8 days later were taken care off by David. Everything from game drives, to lodging , to food and local flights were booked by Native Afrika and there were no last minute surprises. This made our trip really relaxed and a memorable one. They were punctual each time which is an excellent attribute.
Our safari guide George was very experienced and went to great lengths to show us not the big 5 but big 7. It was a remarkable experience.
The lodging and food in Masai and diani were all excellent.
I would book again with native Afrika and would highly recommend them. They offered a great package at very reasonable rates and looked after us very well

A first rate safari experience
We enjoyed a wonderful three day safari with Jocky Tours and our fantastic driver/guide Jeff.
What a memorable experience!
Jeff was absolutely focussed on giving all in the group a great safari by using his wide experience and knowledge.
We felt Safe with his driving across absolutely all sorts of terrain in his pursuit of giving us the best chances of experiencing a wide variety of wild animals across the park - and we did. We got to see all we had hoped for and much much more besides
The camp was very comfortable with beds, and hot water readily available, staff were friendly and attentive, food choice was limited but wholesome, and our packed lunch for our full day drive extensive!
Jeff, was the perfect guide and driver.

Very efficient and customer-friendly
I have always wanted to go on a safari tour. During my short stay in Johannesburg in February this year I contacted MoAfrika tours to enquire about a short (1 or 2) day options. They have offered an excellent 2 day option in Bakubung Lodge in Pilanesburg. The trip included 4 game rides and a one night accommodation in a luxury lodge with meals included, pick up and drop off at my selected locations. The guides were very helpful and friendly. The option to pay in US dollars was a pleasant bonus. My 5 stars to the overall service and many thanks to all the staff that have organized this memorable trip for me!

Knowledgeable, efficient and responsive
Kathi Simon booked the perfect safari for my family that absolutely exceeded our expectations. She was very responsive and answered many questions, listened to what we were looking for and quickly narrowed down a few choices for us. We were booking last minute and it was quite overwhelming until we reached out to Kathi. Thank you!!
