An unforgettable safari in Tanzania with On Target Safaris and guide Abel!
From August 7th to August 11th, we experienced five extraordinary days with On Target Safaris. The local agency proved reliable: Anold is a precise guy who kept every promise, offering excellent value for money. The vehicle was comfortable, found clean every morning, and perfectly stocked with water and supplies for the long game drives.
A special thanks goes to our guide, Abel Peter. He treated us like VIPs and was much more than just a guide: in such a short time, he managed to be like a brother, making us feel always safe and cared for. With his contagious laughter, he put us in a great mood and was extremely attentive to our needs, ensuring we rested when necessary and always finding the perfect spot to take stunning photos. The food was also excellent, enjoying delicious dishes prepared at the lodges where we stayed.
Abel possesses an incredible "hawk eye"! He managed to spot animals camouflaged in the savanna that we never would have seen on our own. Furthermore, Abel uniquely combines extraordinary traditional knowledge of the land and animals—passed down through his Masai culture—with modern academic and scientific training in nature conservation.
These were days where you disconnect from everything to completely immerse yourself in the magical world of animals and birds.
Highly recommended 100%! Asante sana!

Very good communication.
We had a great safari experience with Axis Africa. A special shout-out to our driver and guide, Raymond, who was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. His expertise in spotting wildlife and knowing where to go made a huge difference, and thanks to him I managed to see all the animals I had hoped to see!

Excellent Game Drive with Moloku
We had the best game drive with Moloku today! She went above and beyond to give us as many opportunities as possible to see the animals. We were lucky enough to see leopard, lions, elephants, rhinos, and many other animals.
Moloku also took us to the top of a hill to watch the sunset, which was absolutely amazing and a perfect way to end the game drive. She has excellent knowledge of the animals and knows the area extremely well. Her passion and effort really made the experience special.
We highly recommend Moloku to anyone visiting Pilanesberg. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

More than wonderful !!!
We can not show enough high praise for Arina wild adventure and Lian and her whole team. From coming personally to pick us up at NBO airport to every single step including border crossing for Tanzania - making sure no one has any kind of problem including Yellow Fever Card and finally dropping us at NBO airport for return home - she and her team were constantly along side of us. They chose wonderful accommodation and particularly for Serengeti and Ngorongoro were over the top. All drivers went beyond call of duty and put extra time and effort to show us maximum wild life. Their communication skill in English language were also very good - no
Language barrier for English speaking tourists. And we were 16 friends from many countries across the world who all travelled a lot in their life and at the end everyone agreed that ‘ This was their Best vacation of lifetime’. We all would strongly recommend this company / Lian and when we come back again in future for Kenya / Tanzania Safari, we absolutely are going to use this company.

Ashendiye Festival in Lalibela with amazing guide, Muluye.
What a fantastic few days in Lalibela, exploring the wonderful rock hewn churches and palaces of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Muluye is a brilliant guide - so knowledgeable about the history and culture of this special place. He guided us through the hidden passageways while giving us just the right amount of information and responding knowledgeably to our many questions. The festival taking place while we were there was the icing on the cake - the singing, dancing, drumming and the whole spectacle made this such a unique and memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this trip and Muluye.

Reliable Madagascar-based tour operator with excellent service and communication.
We booked a 20-day - Discovery East - West-South tour with Soul of Madagascar and travelled with our 8 years old son. The communication with Theresia was seamless, she made sure the itinary was personalized according to our needs. Our guides were Michael and Tahiry and our driver Manoa, they were all well-prepared and knowledgeable and made our trip unforgettable. They even made sure I had a birthday cake on my big day :). I would be happy to travel with them again, we had the perfect trip!

The tour itself was good
I fully satisfied with the guide and the driver. They were very kind and nice. They made the tour more fun. Thank them a lot.
The tour itself is really worth well.
BUT the operation side was not good.

Gofan is a reliable partner in safari bookings
I have been using Gofan Safaris for many years for my safaris in Kenya. They have taken me to the Maasai Mara, Ol Pejeta, Aberdare, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Nairobi National Park. Their vehicles are upgraded and their drivers are excellent. They often do a nice job of positioning themselves for great animal viewing. We've consistently had a great value for our money as well, and I appreciate how they are flexible to offer just about anything that we'd like to do, and can make solid recommendations for different price points. They seem to be well respected within the industry and they can negotiate good positions and take favors from lodges. I've even had them pivot on a dime based on changing conditions at the last minute. We're very pleased with Gofan and hope to continue using them for a long time!
