Dream of a Lifetime AND no single supplement
Overall, my trip to South Africa through Go Touch Down Tours was fantastic. The trip was everything that the tour operator said it would be. It was tremendous value for the money as all the accommodations were included and were first rate; majority of meals were included; all entry fees were covered; and we covered a lot of South Africa. This was one of my first times traveling internationally by myself, and I always felt safe with the Tour group. Here are some highlights:
· Mpumalanga - Tour guides & Tracker – I cannot say enough wonderful things about our tour guide, Joseph. He was very kind, and extremely personable. He ensured we saw everything promised on the tour, but he was flexible, and was so gracious in answering our questions and sharing about his country and culture with us. Additionally, our tracker at Tshukudu, Johnson, was so knowledgeable about the land and the animals. Our time with him at the game reserve and at Kruger were some of my best highlights. The staff at Tshukudu were all very warm and friendly. They were always ready to serve and to ensure we had a great visit. Food was delicious and there was always ample to try and experience.
· Mpumalanga itinerary – I am a city girl, but hands down, the safari portion of the trip was my favorite. The beauty in the area is amazing between The Chief and his three wives to Lisbon Falls to Potholes to God’s Window….all are majestic and photos cannot capture the true beauty of the area. BUT nothing matches the beauty of the animals and how close we were to many. I have a short video I took which I affectionately call “The Lion King Shot.” It has giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, impalas running in the shot, and it was amazing to see. We were with Johnson one day, and he turned a corner, for us to immediately start going backwards because two elephants were walking on the road towards us. Another day, we saw the lions eating a wildebeest, and then one morning the lions were walking near our jeep. There are so many wonderful memories!
· Cape Town tour and staff – This is an action packed itinerary, and JP, our tour guide, did a great job of dealing with Cape Town traffic and showing us all the sites. Cape Town is stunning from Simons Town with the penguins, Chapman’s Peak, the Cape of Good Hope, V&A Waterfront, the coastline, Table Mountain, and of course the wineries. Robben Island, which was an extra excursion on the last day was fantastic, and it is a must see!

Amazing Safari Experience - Highly Recommend
The safari tour exceeded all my expectations. Our tour leader Paul was an exceptional host and ensured that we saw everything! He also took us to local nightlife spots on the evenings at our request whilst ensuring our safety at all times and was so kind and knowledgeable about the history of Kenya
This safari was affordable and amazing! We didn’t just get a safari we got a cultural experience.
I would highly recommend Bison Safaris - excellent value for money.

First experience of Tanazania.... World Class!!
I have recently returned from a safari tour with Sassabi Expeditions and it’s safe to say it was the experience of a lifetime.
I am a serious birder and wildlife enthusiast. We toured Serengeti, Ngorongoro conservation area and Tarangire all of which had birds and mammals which were off the chart. I travelled with an old friend who is also a birder and equally enthusiastic about wildlife. He has much more experience of sub-Saharan Africa and agrees that our experience was spectacular. Wildlife encounters are often down to chance but the skill and expertise of Joseph, our driver and wildlife guide, along with Modi, our bird guide, knew the right places to go to ensure we got as much out of the safari as possible.
Sassabi provided an amazing experience from start to finish. We were well looked after by Jessica during the planning from the UK and also on location when we arrived in Arusha, as well as on our return to the city. Joseph and Modi made our experience so enjoyable by being super keen and accommodating to our birding needs, which differ from mammal watching but also by being great company for our long days in the jeep.
5 star rating....highly recommended. I hope to be able to return in the not too distant future. Thanks Sassabi!

Great experience in Africa
I recently went on a 3 day Safari of the Maasai Mara and had an amazing experience. I was amazed by all the animals we saw and the comfort of the vehicle and camp we stayed at (with luxury tents that make you feel like you are not camping, but just in a regular room). Our driver Martin was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. And Maggie who helped me organize the tour was very attentive and quick to respond. I highly recommend you do your tour with Bison Safaris, they know what they are doing and give a great service at a very reasonable price!

Unforgettable experience with reliable&well-experienced guide
The boss of this company is very nice guy who is so reliable and reply the email in 5mins whenever i ask something.
The price is the cheapest among all despite that the lodge is absolutely comfortable (NOT A TENT) , the driver was professional who’s always the first one when it comes to finding the BIG5 animals, also, very friendly.
I am quite sure i will go to MasaiMara with this tour for the next time as well.

Great price for a good safari
Communication with the operator was reliable and easy. Our driver Dan managed everything for us, so we were able to focus on the safari. With two game drives we spotted 4/5 of the Big Five as well as many other animals. The accommodation was comfortable and very close to the park. 9/10 would definitely do it again.

The tour operator had a very good knowledge about the travel agency
I had a very good experience travelling around the world and guiding us in the proper manner. Knowing their culture and style their living. It helps us to improve knowledge and get new ideas.

Fantastic tour thanks to our amazing guide, Jimmy!
Fantastic and unforgettable 4-day safari tour in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha in a 4x4 jeep.
The tour was amazing! Good accommodation, food and excellent service by Jocky Tours.
We were so lucky to have Jimmy as our tour guide. He did an amazing job of driving and guiding. He was able to find all Big 5, including most of the animals in the reserve. He shared with us very interesting facts and made us feel really comfortable during our safari.
We highly recommend Jocky Tours for a great safari experience! And ask for Jimmy to be your guide.

Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti park, Tarangire National Park etc…
These guy’s worth 6 or 7 stars, we were a group of 6 friends booked a safari trip with Zamunda for 5 days, we organised the game drive soon after we landed in Arusha’s Airport in the morning.
Every hour we spent was a new thing to see, from the landscapes to the wildlife animals, villages and roads, it can’t be explained by words.
It was our first time in Tanzania and we were thinking about the safety and security around the country but honestly we saw police only at the airport or some checkpoints, it’s because there’s no needed, people are so simple and welcoming with smiles everywhere, before we go to our safari trip we stayed in Zanzibar island about 4 days, at the kendwa beach we left all our assets on our bench and went for swim and jet ski for hours and hours no one touched our bags or phones.
Our safari trip was unexplainable you have to find the right person such as Salim, and ask for your tour guide with Mr Amani and the chef Mr Khalid.
Mr Amani became our friend after an hour and I felt that I know him for years also he does his best to help you with everything and catch every type of animals, as I said you can’t explain everything.
Mr Khalid the chef cook you very delicious food and you can tell him the beginning what you like and what you don’t, I’m a casual man and I can sleep anywhere and enjoy with all types of food.
The food is really tasty.
Amani our tour guide we won’t forget you and the memories will stay forever.
Thank you Salim thank you Mr Amani and Khalid.
