A Safari of a Lifetime
This trip is really one for the books! We started planning for a Safari Tour a year ago so that we will have an ample time to look for a good itinerary and tour provider that will our needs. We have inquired to several local travel agencies from our country, the Philippines and as well as thru online to Kenyan agencies. Most Kenyan agencies either disregarded our inquiries, too presistent that we book instantly or presented unreasonably priced agencies. We came across IMARA AFRICA SAFARIES thru Instagram and Wendy was very accommodating to our request. She patiently presented to us different options for our safari tours. And most welcomingly answered our never ending queries. She also gave us tips as to securing our travel documents down to our safari outfits. From then on, we knew IMARA is the right choice for us.
So here we go! We booked and we eagerly anticipated for our much awaited safari experience! But I guess as the time came and no matter how prepared you were, there were some bumps along the way such as flight delays and missing our connecting flights. Yet, it never deterred our excitement. Good thing, Wendy was always in contact since day 1. And she was flexible as always readjusting our itinerary. We were met and greeted by the whole staff and even gave us souvenirs already. We met Wendy in person and of course Lewis who eagerly explained our itinerary. We also gotten to know Simon, our guide/driver in Kenya. He was very enthusiastic in touring us to different national parks in Kenya and made us witness the amazing wildlife it has to offer. We even driven into the deep areas of Maasai Mara just to find a whole pride of 20 lions!
Next stop was Tanzania and there we met Dallas, our guide and driver and Mr Plan B guy. Without him, we could have never witnessed the Great Migration and completed the Big 5 of Africa.
All in all, our safari experience was more than what we expected and way too amazing!
It was way too difficult to part ways with our two big guides who made this experience memorable!
Thank you Imara Africa Safaries! We would definitely recommend you to everyone for their safari experience! Five stars!!!

Professional, Reliable and well organized.
We had an excellent experience with MoAfrica Tours. We booked the 3 Day Rafiki Bush Lodge Safari with transfers from Johannesburg.
The booking process was easy and communication was prompt, and the itinerary was well organized. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured everyone felt comfortable throughout our game drives. The accommodations, transportation, and activities all met our expectations. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a stress-free, affordable and enjoyable travel experience to South Africa.

Life-changing safari experience in Uganda
We came to Uganda unsure if we'd be able to do a safari and left with an incredible, unforgettable experience. Mouche (Musa), Managing Director of African Eco Tours, was our kind, knowledgeable, well-organized guide of Uganda. Within hours of notice, Musa put together a packed 3-day itinerary that included trekking with chimps and white rhinos and multiple game drives to see the variety of animals in Murchison Falls National Park. We also stayed in the magical Nile Breeze Bamboo Lodge, which is close to the park. The price was super reasonable and one of the best by far for our package.
Musa not only was a great and efficient guide, getting us everywhere we needed to be so we could see everything on our list, but he also was a super passionate and knowledgeable teacher about all things Uganda (from nature to culture etc), a new friend (so fun to hang out and chat with), and the best driver in the game (he can navigate Kampala city streets faster than the Google Maps ETA, every time). Also Musa has many connections across the locations we visited, including people he has known for many years, such as the ranger, O.J., who rode with use through the National Park and shared his knowledge. Watching their friendship and banter was an additional highlight of our game drives.
I highly recommend you book African Eco Tours for your safari and exploration activities in East Africa, especially Uganda. You will have a blast and see some gorgeous sites. I know we'll be back to visit some of our new wishlist destinations with Musa.

Claire was so accommodating, resourceful and knowledge!
We went to Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique for a 10 day trip that was carefully curated by our agent, Claire. Our trip exceeded all of our expectations for a safari & beach vacation. The camp we stayed in was the perfect mix of authentic safari and modern luxury. The food was great and we saw so many animals. The resort we stayed in at Mozambique was just beautiful with equally great food and a wonderful spa to relax in. Claire planned a perfect itinerary for us and truly helped us get everything we wanted out of this trip. I can't emphasize enough how much we would recommend Off2Africa. Thank you to Claire for planning a trip of a lifetime!

Unforgettable experience, thanks to our incredible guide, David
We booked a 6-day Kenya safari through Explorers Wild Adventures and it exceeded every expectation. Our guide, David, was phenomenal. His 'eagle eyes' spotted all the hidden gems for us that we completely missed, and his deep knowledge of animal behavior made every game drive an educational adventure. Beyond being a master tracker, David was warm, professional, and kept us laughing the whole time. We managed to see the Big Five and so much more. The communication from the tour operator before the trip was excellent. The 4x4 vehicle was pristine, comfortable, and always stocked with drinking water. From pickup to lodge transfers, the logistics were executed perfectly. David was incredibly respectful of the wildlife, and always positioning the vehicle perfectly for photography. Highly recommended.

Our airport drivers Ibrahim and Augustino were very professional and helpful. Our safari guide Mpogo was phenomenal and really added to our experience. Our safari driver Malik Twalib was also outstanding! The most amazing experience and we have no words to describe it apart from a trip of a lifetime…

Best Game Drive in Tanzania
Saloniki was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! Having experienced safari game drives before, it was wonderful to have such an expert guide who was able to share new and fascinating information about the animals. What made the experience even more special was learning about the land through his own cultural background and heritage. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Four of Mikumi during the day. Of course, there is always an element of chance, but Saloniki’s expertise, knowledge and communication throughout the game drive certainly played a huge part in making it such a memorable experience.
Thank you, Saloniki and Plex Africa for an unforgettable game drive!
