So much easier than I thought
Booking with Viatu was a breeze. We used one of the trip templates that was on their website and we customised it to our liking. For the check out we had a few questions. Our travel consultant Alessandro looked after us every step of the way. He even explained everything to me in Spanish which was very helpful as Africa can be complex. We were a bit concerned about the cancellation policies during the Omicron wave - especially since my friend and I arrived in South Africa from two different countries. That, however, was never an issue. The whole booking was flexible including hotels, car rental, safari lodge and our activities. Also, the whole digital travel itinerary turned out to be amazing. We didn't have any issues at all. Alessandro and his team recommended wonderful lodges and restaurants along the way.
We had many highlights but we particularly enjoyed the Mosaic Lagoon Lodge in Stanford near Hermanus. The staff was so lovely, the location incredible and the food to die for. The pineapple house in Cape Town, Seapoint was also a wonderful recommendation. The staff is so welcoming. Their design is refreshing and they make a huge effort to be sustainable in all aspects.
We absolutely loved our trip and can't wait for the next one! Thank you, Alessandro & Team Viatu.
Stress-free Comfortable Transfer
My experience on the Safari Link Transfer Vehicle was a comfortable, stress-free one! The booking process was quick and easy, and my many queries were answered promptly despite my messages being sent outside of normal office hours. The drivers communicated well, and I appreciated the quick comfort stops on route. I am happy to recommend Safari Link Shuttle Service to others and will gladly use them myself again, in the future. Thank you, Safari Link!

Great Experience!
I had an incredible safari experience that left me in awe. Sir Charles, our guide, had so much information about the animals; I learned so much from him. The landscapes were breathtaking, and visiting the park for sunset was an unforgettable and breath-taking. I really appreciated how attentive Sir Charles was to provide us a great experience. The resort accommodations were also great. Everyone was extremely friendly. I would highly recommend others to take this tour.

Great safari experience, professional organisation and reliable staff
Amazing!! From begin to end we had a fantastic safari holiday organised by Kanje Grand Tours. Perfect communication, advise ,friendly and booked the best accommodations, photographer, Balloon flight and other excursions. Our driver/guide for the week Stanley was just the best! He took us for Game Drives in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, told us all about the animals and nature. We highly recommend Kanje for your ultimate Safari and introduction to the beautiful,safe and friendly Tanzania. All we had to do was enjoy. Tanzania took care of everything! Asante sana!!

Highly Professional with a personal touch - Hakuna Matata for me and my family!
We recently embarked on a breathtaking safari adventure across Kenya and Tanzania with Whiteplains Safaris, and I am thrilled to share that it was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. Whiteplains Safaris nailed it. From the moment we set foot on this remarkable journey, it was evident that we were in for something truly special.
Our personalized trip encompassed visits to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Amboseli.
The game viewing was exceptional. We witnessed the incredible trek of wildebeests right at Mara River. It was spectacular.
One of the many aspects that stood out during our safari was the choice of overnight accommodations. Whiteplains Safaris ensured that our stay was not only comfortable but also immersed us in the heart of the wild. Waking up to the sounds of nature and being surrounded by stunning landscapes made the entire trip feel like a dream.
Speaking of dreams, our safari guide was an absolute gem. His passion for the wildlife and dedication to providing us with an exceptional experience was evident in every interaction. He was patient, caring, informative, and went above and beyond to make sure our questions were answered, and our desires were met. His knowledge and expertise added immeasurably to the experience. His understanding of the wildlife and lively way of describing added enormously turning it into a real learning experience.
The meticulous planning and attention to detail by Whiteplains Safaris were apparent throughout our journey. From seamless transitions between destinations to the thoughtful extras that were included along the way, every aspect of the trip was impeccably organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the adventure. Noting to worry about at all.
In conclusion, our safari with Whiteplains Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary. The remarkable game viewing, breathtaking landscapes, and the genuine care and expertise of our guide made this journey an absolute dream come true. If you're looking for a safari experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend entrusting your adventure to Whiteplains Safaris. They turned our vacation into an unforgettable experience filled with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
A huge thank you to the entire team at Whiteplains Safaris for creating an itinerary that was beyond our wildest dreams. We are forever grateful for this remarkable journey!

Extremely effective in finding animals!
Serengeti Smile is a great tour company. The office is very quick, helpful, and reliable in their communications. They booked INCREDIBLE accommodations for our five day safaris- we particularly loved the luxury camps that were in the middle of the Serengeti. Neither my husband nor I had experienced anything like that before and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Gama, was very experienced (16+ years) and knew many other guides. He used those connections and was particularly tenacious at finding big five animals. We probably saw over 50 lions on our trip, leopards, and a cheetah chase! We joked that our guide has a charming obsession with finding lions, including popping into dinner (while there was still light) to tell us he found more lions and offering to take us even when he could’ve called it a day. You’ll have a great time with this company and see many animals!

Great safari tour organizer with hakuna matata mindset !
We choose Tales of Tanzania because of their responsiveness and for the beautiful accommodations proposed. The prices are similar to other companies, but the quality of communication is great.
Our point of contact was Pendo, she is calm and easygoing, will always find alternatives if requested. Our guide was great too, understanding the special needs of our family.
To summarize, a great familial safari tour organizer with hakuna matata mindset !

Professionalism for an incredible experience
We have just returned from a short but intense 5 day safari. A breathtaking experience thanks to the KIMGONI agency.
Our guide and our cook were superb partners to accompany us in this magical adventure.
I definitely recommend the Philipo KIMGONI agency!!

Intimate private safari tours with a highly knowledgeable guide
We did a 4 day private tour with Safari Reinhardt and had the most amazing experience. Reinhardt goes the extra mile to share his knowledge and teach you about all of the animals, plants and tracking prints and calls. If you stay with Maria and Reinhardt at Rafiki too you will be very well looked after. The perfect safari experience in Greater Kruger

the best
My husband and I contacted Suricata Safaris on the strength of positive reviews and were immediately sent a schedule with options. We opted for a 5 day shared tour visiting Lake Manyara, Tarengeri, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The off-roader was equipped with every comfort including USB sockets, but the highlight was Rockie, our driver and guide. An incredible guy, full of life and knowledge. Well prepared for everything. We stayed in amazing lodges throughout the safari while the day before and two days after we stayed in two hotels in arusha. Thanks also to Daniel's welcome who came to us before the safari to explain everything.
