Real adventures!
We chose Morning Star Tours for safari, because they offered most suitable custom safari for me, my husband and our 4 year old son, moreover, their prices were 30% lower for the same intinerary compared to the other big tour operators.
We were really happy about our guide and driver Alex. We thought he was a newbie (looking very young ;) ), but we found out that he was an experienced guide working in the business for 7 years!
Alex is a really good driver (we felt very safe) and he is an adventure seeker, due to his effort and persistence, we managed to encounter a male lion in one meter distance protecting his resting lioness. What a memory!! And I am not talking about his effort during all the trip to meet all big 5!
He was also very patient with our toddler, who used to get bored during long trips.
Thanks for great experience!
Much recommended!

LongWay Expeditions thrive to share with us their knowledge/love of Tanzanian wondrous wildlife
I got acquainted with Ann+Abu (the knowledgeable organizers) via Responsible Travel in 2022. Communications with both are very easy since they are both very professional and have a great command of English, both spoken and written. Via many e-mails, I did organize with Ann my first trip with my son and in-law which we thoroughly enjoyed during 8 days in early September 2022; Abu was the attentive and caring Driver/Guide. During our many conversations Abu mentioned the Migration calving in Ndutu area as something very special. A few months after my return I started friendly communications with Ann in order to organize my solo safari, this time 10 days which just happened in February. I have enjoyed safaris before, but the inner quality, professionalism and care of Abu raise these safaris to another level of friendly interaction where we learn to appreciate animal behavior details, that enhance the whole experience. This time I always stayed inside the Parks: 1 day Tarangire, 4 days Ndutu, 2 days central Serengeti, it was awesome. I must say that I never read anything about Tanzania tourism, hence these wondrous experiences rely on their profound knowledge and love of Tanzania. I cannot wait to go again with my new friends ANN and ABU to those mesmerizing Tanzanian Parks. I know how extremely reliable they are in every sense, organize safaris with great care both in the perspective of enjoying the diversity of scenery and animals whilst paying attention to the client budget and choice of Parks and Lodge .

Made our safari dreams come true
Thank you to Megan for helping us organise the ultimate family holiday. She was happy to help with all the details, allowing me to adjust accommodation to better meet our needs and also answering the silliest of questions one of us might have had with professionalism and never making me feel as if I was wasting her time. We were able to have the holiday we dreamed of within a budget many other operators just didn't even respond to. The local tour operator in Tanzania was Experience Tanzania and our guide was Silayo. He was brilliant. He was quick to realise what we liked to see, how long to stop at different animals and was also an expert at getting into the perfect spots on the road to view the animals. It was also very clear that he knew most guides and had their respect which gave us the confirmation that he was an excellent and respected guide. By the end of the holiday my mom was almost teary saying goodbye to him as we loved the time with him so much. I have already recommended Megan and Discover Africa to family and will definitely continue doing so.

Fourth time with Africa Tours Adventure - hopefully, there will be a fifth time in the future
I've been to Eastern Africa three times in the past years - always with Nicholas and his team. That's why I naturally reached out to him again in order to organize a four country trip (Burundi/Congo/Rwanda/Uganda). Nicholas again did a marvellous job and created a spot-on itinerary. He was always very responsive and patiently endured my whims.
The team and my guide Patrick expertedly navigated the customs/covid-19 bureaucracy and allowed for another memorable trip. Patrick was not only great in organizing the border crossings, he also was a very knowledgeable guide with eagle eyes in Akagera. I'm already hoping that there will be peace in Eastern Congo - not only for the local community, but also egoistically so that I can reach out again to Nicholas for a journey to the Virunga NP. There is a reason he only has 5 star reviews here.

MoAfrika excels is convenience and value
From booking to execution of my safari, MoAfrika was supportive, clear, responsive, and executed my trip perfectly every step of the way. Immediately after submitting a query, I received a personal response and options within minutes via Whatsapp - even though it was quite a late hour in South Africa. All of my questions were answered and I was able to select my preferred safari option and pay safely online. MoAfrika even held a reservation for me for free while I decided. On the day of my pickup, the driver was on time and friendly. I took a group transport from Joburg to Pilanesburg national park and the drive to the lodge was an amazing safari itself! The accommodations MoAfrika suggested were stellar and I had a great time at the lodge and on their subsequent safaris. The group transport out of the park was also on time and fun - another safari in itself with a very knowledgeable and experienced driver. I would highly recommend MoAfrika as a tour operator and had an amazing trip.

Great Experience
I had a great time travelling to Amboseli Park with Hadley Solutions. I talked to Kevin and he gave me all the information I needed, reply to all my questions and helped me to understand the best option for my trip. The driver was a nice guy with lots of information about the park. We stayed at AA Lodge, all organized, no problem at all.

Quality service.
Ricky made our trip special, he made sure I had a crate to step on to get in and out of the vehicle. We saw so much wildlife. 13 lions, 4 cheetahs, hundreds of wildebeast, zebras and many hipos. Each day was like that. He organized breakfast in the field watching the zebras and wildebeasts.

Everything you can hope for in a safari!
Wild Excursions Uganda was everything you can hope for in a safari excursion. Everything you can think you need they have already done. We took a boat tour up the Nile River seeing hippos, elephants, crocodiles and more. As we arrived to see Murchison Falls, our guide had set our drinks and snacks for us to enjoy as we took in our beautiful surroundings. The next morning, we headed out on a bush safari, our guide knew so much about the history of the park and knew exactly where to take us to get the best experience. We even had an amazing bush breakfast where we got up close and personal with warthogs. I cannot recommend them more to anyone wanting an amazing Safari experience.
