Making dreams come true
The trip to Uganda was a surprise for my daughter graduation from university,before our onward trip to Tanzania.
My contact was Pleunie
She was amazing from day 1 with ideas and prices for different types of accommodation and tours .
Emails were always answered quickly and I felt confident that the trip would be a success.
Then comes the hard part making the trip ,go as we had arranged by email .
This was expertly done by the oracle of Uganda Barnabas our guide.
A passionate tour guide who taught us so much about Uganda and it’s wildlife.
Every morning we were greeted by the biggest smile he engaged both myself and my daughter in amazing conversation throughout our journey.
You are both great assets to your company .
You both made our dreams come true .
Matoke tours were a great choice and I would 100% use them again.
Thankyou so much Simon and Georgina

Great Safari experience with Shammah Wonders
I got in contact with Justin and he was very responsive to all my questions and is available through whatsapp too.
We did 3 days, with a village tour, a boat tour, full game drive in Nyerere National park and a walking bush tour. We felt looked after from start to finish. With our taxi to and from Zanzibar organised. Once we got to the Africa safari camp the acommodation was really nice, food was great and staff very friendly and informative. The sunset on our boat tour was beautiful, we were taken to a really nice spot. Our game driver the next day Fidelis took us to see many animals and also got up close to them and also seemed to know routes that no other tourists were at and wanted us to have the best experience.
The next day the walking bush tour was lead by Simba who made us laugh and informed us about the nature on our tour.
I was nervous about booking a tour but Shammah wonder safari made the experience of booking easy and i would definately recommend them.

ATTENTIVE TO DETAIL AND EAGER TO PROVIDE SATISFACTORY SERVICES
We were picked up at the airport at Victoria Falls and welcomed at our hotel by Oscar and Silence from Zambezi. We were briefed about our programme and then settled into our hotel ( Rainbow) which proved to be a very comfortable hotel . The following days programme were provided as planned and gave us great memories of the Falls and the safari in the Hwange National Park. Guides were all very friendly and professional. We were particularly impressed by Divine and Absalom our Safari guides -excellent English, very knowledgeable. Our driver Francis from Zambezi was also very helpful in every detail.

Straight forward, great communication and perfect safari experience all around
We organized our safari tour with Topy Tours and it was an amazing experience. The communication with Jackson, who took care of all the organizational aspects was flawless and well rounded. An in person talk the night before the tour started was perfect to clear the last remaining questions. Another positive aspect that needs highlighting was Isaac, our Tourguide. Perfect driving skills, very attentive to all our needs, very caring and warm personality next to his expertise when it came to spotting the animals. The lodges that we stayed in were absolutely fantastic and left no desire unanswered. That we got to see all of the "Big Five" was just the cherry on top! 10/10, we would definitely book via Topy Tours again and recommend it to anyone who is interested in a safari tour.

Very professional, reliable and prompt
We had a great experience with Indigo Safari and their knowledgeable and very helpful travel consultant Ms. Ines Moosmann. Our Southern Namibia tour exceeded our expectations as to the accommodation chosen and the itinerary. This was a private guided tour with good value for money. Moreover, our Namibian driver/guide was also excellent, knowledgeable and personable. What a memorable adventure!

Brilliant, a fabulous tour with great guides
I had a wonderful trip to South Africa, 7 days on safari and 7 days in Cape Town. The whole experience was first class from the knowledgeable guides to the accommodations and delicious food.

Unforgettable honeymoon safari
We choose African Big Cat Safari from a myriad of agencies for two reasons:
1) We wanted a local Tanzanian company
2) ABCS offered us the best value deal for the honeymoon safari we were looking for.
We did a 5 days Safari trough Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. From the start communication was quick and efficient, as this was our first safari we had many doubts and Justice was always happy to answer to all our questions. The accommodations were all amazing, specially in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Food was excellent every time.
Emanuel came to greet us,which adds a nice personalized touch.
Lovoi, our guide, was excellent, thanks to him we saw all animals ( apart from Rhino). He knew how to find them and was always flexible with our schedules. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and gave us really interesting information on behaviors and characteristics. He also had a great eye for photography and always tried to positioned the land rover for best photo angles :) .
We had the adventure of a lifetime and can only recommend ABCS with full confidence!

GREAT SERVICE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Just got back from a two week tour through Masai Mara, Serengetti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar
This is not an easy trip, conditions are rough, unpaved roads, airstrips, tent camps, etc
But it was one of the best trips in my life, and I am an experienced traveler. Wayfairer chose adequate accommodations given what is available in the area, tour guides were exceptionally kind and overall provided adequate yet great level of service
I went mainly to see the migration and crossing of the Mara River, and was very lucky to be at the right place and time twice - an unforgettable sight and unparalleled experience, but there is so much more!
One word of caution - don't take the flight schedule as fixed. Their so called airlines are VERY flexible with their schedules and changes of route.
Very worthwhile!!!

Not a bad option if he is paying a guide and others satisfactory salaries. At least I would repeat!
Four of us went on an 8-day tour with 4 people to 4 people, for a total of 8 people (the number of people supporting you has to do with the amount of tips you pay). (The number of support people has to do with the amount of tips paid. Also, the psychological hurdle of sending SWIFT money to a tour company for the first time may be high. The excitement of the tour depends on the skill of the guide and the food depends on the seasoning of the cook, and we were very fortunate with our guide and cook. We were very lucky with our guide and cook, and of course with the tour company. It gets cold at night, so a warm jacket and warm pants are a must. I would also recommend having a large battery and a battery operated battery for emergencies.
