Addis Ababa like Never Before
Exploring the city with Reta was absolutely amazing! From Lucy at the National Museum to incredible Ethiopian artifacts, every stop was packed with fascinating stories. Reta’s energy, knowledge, and humor made the tour unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to see Addis come alive!

“Ndutu Green Explorer — where good vibes meet great wildlife.”
We had an amazing 6-day safari with our guide Omar. We organized the entire trip via WhatsApp and were able to adjust everything just the way we wanted.
Omar really took great care of us and was always perfectly on time. We learned so much from him about the different species and the region’s history. We were also incredibly lucky and saw far more animals than we ever expected. Even though we travelled during the low season, we didn’t miss out at all — if you’re considering going at this time of year, we can truly recommend it. We also appreciated how Omar guided us on how to behave around wildlife and reminded us to respect nature — trash in, trash out.
We had such a wonderful time.
We would gladly recommend Ndutu Green Explorer to all our friends!

Superb Authentic Safari Experience
I recommend this Safari experience without reservation. We transferred from J'Berg, with a smooth hotel pick up. Drive to the Tresimina Lodge was in a well air-conditioned minivan with a couple of good stops including one for lunch in Dullstroom. On arrival we literally saw an Elephant right by the lodgings and that was certainly not the last! We got shown to our rooms, clean with fresh linen and mosquito nets, and almost straight away went for a sunset Safari and evening Brai (BBQ) in the bush. This kind of rest, eat, Safari schedule went on for the entire four days. We saw SO many fabulous and healthy looking animals, for me highlights were the tribes of Impala, Zebra, Giraffe and in main KP accompanied by Wildebeest. I also loved the early (5 am!!) walk in the bush, and the random encounters with real live wild animals of all shapes and sizes. Viva Safari have EXCELLENT guides, they are knowledgeable, they make you feel safe, and they clearly love the animals and the bush and don't seem to mind the at times naive questions from all tourists. We really had a great time. We encountered a Rhino at very very close quarters, all of us were surprised including the Rhino. Herds of buffalo and Impala in the distance and close by and for those that count 4/big5 🦁🦏🦛🦬 (and I often felt a Leopard was lurking somewhere near) 5/5 ugly 5 and so many birds big and small. As for the incredible strength of the dung beetles!! This would suit all types, Viva Safari look after you very well and the FOOD is fantastic, varied, plentiful and delicious. I also enjoyed meeting fellow travellers some single some couples and some mixed family groups. All made welcome.

Full value for the money
An absolutely fantastic experience booking with Gamedrive Travel Africa Safari Agency. They stayed close to us the whole time, followed up in the weeks and days leading up to our safari, and made sure we were fully prepared for the game drive. They helped us when our flight was changed – I have never worked with such a service-minded agency before. Everything was perfectly organized, from pick-up times to the hotels.
The drivers spoke very good English and explained facts and history throughout the safari. They were incredibly skilled at spotting animals, and we experienced the Big Five and got very close to lions, hippos, elephants, leopards, and all the other African wildlife.
I can highly recommend Gamedrive Travel Africa Safari Agency.

A safari is not relaxing, it's exciting.
We had Dickson as our guide for 5 days during our trip to Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire.
The parks were full of wildlife and since it was shoulder season, we did not have to compete with other tourists for good watching spots.
Dickson is patient, respectful, knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. He is a good balance of quiet and chatty. His years of experience came in handy as we were able to witness 3 lion hunts. Amazing!
Another favourite moment was seeing a famly of elephants having a mudbath.
I still can't believe we were able to get that close to the animals without them getting territorial.
We ended our safari with a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Highly recommended so you can wind down as the safari leg of the trip was tiring.
In all, this trip was amazing. Dickson was fantastic.
Many thanks to Prosper Mtey, our safari specialist, for coordinating this trip. The accomodation he arranged was fantastic.
Thank you Safari Soles.

The staff of Nature Travel Namibia are informed, flexible and helpful.
Nature Travel Namibia did a wonderful job suggesting and preparing our Namibia itinerary and then modifying the route and stops to meet our desires. Petra was knowledgeable, responsive and helpful every step of the process. Stewart Matsopo was an outstanding guide and driver. A veritable walking warehouse of information, he was enthusiastic, engaged and a very safe driver. We appreciated his and the agency's willingness to make day to day "tweaks" to the itinerary based on our interests and energy levels. The lodges felt safe, were clean and well staffed with friendly and welcoming people. The food was uniformly good. The Okonjima Plains Camp was our most luxurious stay. It was also there that we capped our trip with close up views of a collared leopard. Stewart was expert and locating and identifying wildlife. We saw herds of elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, many kinds of antelope and exoctic birds. He also explained the geology, weather and plants that we were seeing along with information about the history and culture of Namibia.
