Perfect! It was the most amazing journey of our lives!
We had the most incredible trip of our lives because of Gondwana tours! We saw so much wildlife (lions, leopards, hippo's a honeybadger lots and lots of elephants) it really is too much to put down in words. And all the places we stayed where amazing! We have spent our times in such lovely and beautiful camps. The quality was topnotch. I'm really missing Botswana, and look back to this trip with so much joy. The trip really couldn't be done better.
Especially thanks to Mark, he came with a tailormade plan for us and he really went above and beyond to help and create the best journey there is. He gave us great tips and advice and he was really thinking along with us (also to keep it in our budget). I would not hesitate for a second to book (again) with Gondwana. We are definitely going back some day! Everything was arranged perfectly!
So if you're thinking about going with Gondwana, just do it. You won't be disappointed!

Terrific and Professional!
I did a 7-day tour with Bamboo Ecotours, including both Rwanda/Uganda. They were very helpful in also adding Akagera to their more standard 6 day Rwanda & Uganda Wildlife Safari itinerary. Edison and our driver/guide Fred were very professional and went above and beyond throughout. I would highly recommend them. It was an absolutely incredible experience.

Beautifully tailored, friendly, clear and professional
Webster got back to me in a very short time. I explained to him exactly what I wanted and he tailored it beautifully. All with a calm, friendly and highly professional manner.
I definitely advise hiring him as a tour operator (and also as a guide).

Reliable, communicative - lovely people.
This was my second Safari with Kewzi outdoors. They're so easy to work with especially as I had last minute itinerary changes. They communicated with the lodges and made sure our dietary requirements were taken care of.
Sam was our guide both times, he was so excellent - he has an amazing breadth of knowledge, and is so lovely and kind.
Highly recommended

Absolutely professional, rooted in local and traditional Chagga culture
My three friends and I booked a DAY TRIP TO MATERUNI WATERFALL AND COFFEE TOUR and it was simply great. A lot of people focus on hiking up to Uhuru Peak only (I am not saying it is not worth the adventure!) but miss out on the natural beauty (a stunning waterfall) and bio-cultural diversity (experiencing Chagga traditions, food, and participating in a coffee experience) of the Southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. While walking to the waterfall, our guide introduced us to the Chagga culture and local nature. Once we arrived to the waterfall, we could take as much time as we wanted to enjoy it and relax there. Afterwards, Elisante and his family welcomed us with a festive lunch (which we ordered as vegan food: very delicious). Our day ended with a coffee experience which included lots of information about traditional coffee making but also dancing, singing as well as tasting the freshly roasted and brewed coffee. We took two bags home as a souvenir.
Communication, service, and reliability were outstanding and it is absolutely worth the money. I would ever do it again and maybe even stay one night in Elisante's guest house to get the full local experience!

Amazing experience and unforgettable moments!
I booked all my tours with Kisambi Tours and I can highly recommend it! I went to a two days Safari, did the climb to Kilimanjaro and lots of other tours. The Materuni Village is a also a must see while beeing in Tanzania. There were always really good tour guides, good food and everything was well prepared. I had an amazing time. Thanks to Elisante who organized everything so perfectly!

Marvellous
With Nkollo tours, the service itself was an experience! Our trip started from Zanzibar whereby everything was very organised and we just had to “NOT WORRY” about anything!
We went to Nyerere national park for 2 days. There, everything exceeded our expectations by all means. The guides were extremely professional and made extra effort to make sure that we will see all possible kind of animals, they were very respectful, helpful, and experienced.
We were glad to spend such a memorable one of a kind wild experience with them!
During our 2 days trip, he was in contact with us all the time to make sure that everything is perfect & we’re enjoying the game drive, he never failed us in any thing and was always responsive.
We were very appreciative to his whatsapp messages every now and then to check on us.
As much as we enjoyed our trip & the service with “Nkollo tours”, we asked him to plan our remaining days in Zanzibar.
Thus, we booked Safari Blue with him the other day.
One we arrived, we were surprised by a boat decoration from him for our honeymoon, it was another one of a kind experience, floating on the island in a special boat with heart shapes and flowers. A special decoration for our special occasion!
You will rarely find a business that would offer extra thing without a return!
We took all our activities in private which made it even more luxurious and relaxing!
Me and my husband highly recommend Nkollo and will lastly say, he is the person to go for in Tanzania!

Phenomenal
We're an American family of five and we enjoyed every bit of our journey with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Best value for the money after researching several companies. The owner Bartho himself is your point of contact and met us before and after our safari. The evening before we were supposed to start, I got an allergy attack and Bartho himself went to a pharmacy late at night and bought me allergy meds that saved the trip for us. That alone makes Wakanda worth booking with for me. Our guide, Andrew, was phenomenal -- if you have kids, he's such a fantastic guide that you should ask for him by name. He's a cultural ambassador too and we all learned loads about Tanzania, its people, culture, the Maasai, and he became a family member. We discussed most of our trip details by WhatsApp but also had a call with Bartho to ask questions (it was our first time). We upgraded to a luxury tent at Ngorongoro and for us it was worth it. Bartho handled it. We also did a hot air balloon tour (a must if you can budget for it) and again Wakanda team coordinated. They were flexible, helpful, got us whatever we wanted. Cooking team was great, food was fantastic. We had a trip of a lifetime and expressed our appreciation with tips to the guide and cook (customary).
