Amazing
I had an amazing tour with Kefar during my Gorilla trekking. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, and he made this trip an unforgettable experience. I close Ngoni safaris because of their very good google and tripadvsior reviews, and I did not regret about it. They really deserve these good reviews. They are very professional and helpful. Their response time was very quick and they also arranged everything very quickly. I really recommend everyone to do a trip in Uganda with Ngoni Safaris and ask for Kefar as a guide l, because he was the best guide I had in Africa!

Patrick, our guide, was knowledgeable, experienced and a damned good driver.
Gundua organized excellent accommodation, some in permanent lodges, some tented. All were spotless, in tiptop condition, and safe. We viewed countless wildebeest crossing the Mara, travelled on a network of roads in the Serengeti and Ngorogoro, experienced a wonderful thunderstorm and ate delicious meals wherever we were. Gundua's vehicles are comfortable and well maintained. What abundance and variety of wildlife Tanzania offers. Well worth the visit,

Bait and switch!!! Lier!!! Find a different safari operator!!!
Afrishare does not even rate one star!
Let me start by telling you that I am in the charter business and very familiar with bad tour operations. We did a seven day private tour in 4 parks. The Masai Marain in Kenya The Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire in Tanzania.
If Abrahim Juma Mkwizuthe (the owner) lips we’re moving he was lying, He lied about vehicles, time spent in wildlife parks, accommodations, travel times, and what was included in his advertised package. On your website!
Meet and great at the airport upon arrival in Nairobi Kenya to meet our driver and taken to our hotel. Afrishare did not show. We had to get a taxi. The guide was not informed of our arrival until we were at our hotel.
The drivers were great but the vehicles were junk, absolutely trash, you could not see out the windows, the seats were not functional, not safari vehicles, one was a 20 plus year old two wheel drive van with no working Vhf. bald tires. The radios that professional operators use to communicate with other drivers to locate the animals. We were sent pictures of new safari vehicles that we would be in, these were not the ones provided. You had to lay the seat back to see out of the window! And could not see out the front! I cannot imagine if there were more than my wife and I in the vehicle.
Once deposit was made Accommodations that we’re advertised in the park we’re now fully booked and unavailable Afrishare replaced these with inferior lodging outside the park. Afrishare then saved money by having the driver do a game drives outside the park, therefore only having to pay for one day in Serengeti park, not two as advertised saving park entrance fees ( anyway this man could cheat you out of a dollar he would)
Travel times between masía Mara park and Serengeti 5 hours turned into 11 hours on the road in a beat up old dusty truck going down washboard back trails at 10 to 20 mph. We could not look out window without laying the seat at a 45 degree angle, then no time for game drive, regardless we did not stay in park.
Driving between saringett and Ngorongoro he took us down backroads where Afrishare wasted time so he would only pay for one day in crater park fees
Promised a full day in Ngorongoro crater we maybe got 3 hours in the bottom as we had to be outside the park by 1 in the afternoon so he did not have to pay park fees.
Afrishare promised a 7 Days safari inside these wonderful parks! He only paid park fees for 4 and a half days, pocketing the remaining entrance fees! We were asked to leave as early as 5 in am to accommodate him saving money on park fees!
Afrishare should not be able to advertise on your website, he gives Africa, it’s wonderful parks, animals and it’s great people a bad name!
Shame on him!

Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly
From the moment we got off our plane and met Andre, we knew it was going to be an incredible adventure. We fell in love with Naimbia and we experienced it through the eyes of someone who loved every aspect of his homeland. Everything was perfect and we will remember our trip as a once in a lifetime experience!

Very satisfied of our experience!
We had a great safari experience thanks to Gilmag. We had just 5 days but we maximized our time thanks to their suggestions and to our guide Nickson. His expertise was one of the keys of pur beautiful trip and we’ve been very satisfied of what we’ve done and seen. The days spent in Ngorongoro and in Serengeti will stay in our hearts forever

Better service in the Kruger Park and along the Panorama Route is not possible!
During the preparations, we defined each point of the program in detail. Then the program was carried out exactly as we had agreed earlier. Shoes is a great organizer, a great guide and a very good driver. He has a great knowledge of Africa and animals. He is also a very good cook. All his meals were very tasty! He organized also an ethnographic tour for us to the place where he was born. Shoes is a well-mannered and polite person and it's hard to imagine a better guide on a Kruger Park safari... Thanks a lot for beautiful experience in South Africa and all the best to Khalanga!

I felt they realy cared about us!
We did cruise on the Nile all the way to the bottom of the Murchinson Falls, game drive in the NP, visit to the top of the falls and, on the way back, we stopped at Ziwa Rhino Sancturay. They cared for all the details which is so important in a trip like this. Food was great, price was very fair. Perfect trip!

Excellent half day tour to Soweto with Nhlalala and Norman
Me and a few friends of mine visited South Africa in August 2022. We ordered half day tour to Seweto with Nhlalala. I have got tel. number to Norman from my African friend. The tour was excellent - bus was really good, Norman was really nice person and good guide. The trip fully met our expectations. I know Nhlalala offers many other options for tourists. Thank you Norman!

Fantastic tour and lifelong memories
Fantastic tour which exceeded my expectations. I went on the 5 day tour of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Nashiva and Hells Gate NP with our excellent tour guide Moses. Moses is an excellent guide. He always found the best places to find all the wildlife and has the ability to get into the mindset of the animals and predict exactly what they were going to do next which was absolutely fantastic for capturing the most amazing photos. We saw all the Big 5, so many baby Lions, a baby Rhino with its mother, a leopard jumping over water, Lions and their kill, Giraffe, Buffalo, Elephants, Wildebeest and Zebra making their way on their great migration all in the most amazing settings of the Masai Mara. The Masai Village visit was very interesting and great fun to participate in their dancing and learn about their culture. Lake Nakuru was beautiful and it was lovely seeing so much more wildlife against the beautiful backdrop of the lake of birds and flamingos. The accommodation and food on this tour was also amazing. We ate extremely well. Two of the places we stayed had pools which was lovely bonus. Moses would go out of his way to help you with anything. He even organised a doctor to call to conduct registered Covid test I needed for the next leg of my travels to Rwanda. It was such a brilliant tour. I have left with so many wonderful memories, new found friends and the most amazing photos I would never have been able to capture without the help of Moses and his passion and knowledge of all the wildlife. Thanks so much for the fantastic tour.

Amazing tour with a minor organizational hiccup
Our guide Hassani was amazing, funny and open to explain the different cultures, also he drove very well and made us feel safe. He never felt short of helping us in any way possible to make our tour the most comfortable possible. The hotels were very nice and in most cases well choosen, but a better understanding of the distances between them and the attractions would improve a lot the whole experience. E.g. for visiting the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, our hotel was located almost 2hours after it, so we ended up in the car 4h more than necessary. Our warrior guide didn't complaine about driving the extra hours, but it was really intense, even for us not even driving. Especially if all this could have been avoided if someone would have advised us a hotels closer to the park. Other than that everything was very smooth, the food delicious and in total an incredible experience. We totally recommend them!
