Well organised, highly knowledgable and extremely friendly - an amazing experience
We did a four day safari and panorama route with Nhlalala travel and had an amazing experience.
Norman was an extremely helpful and knowledgeable guide. He communicated well and arranged everything perfectly - the booking process was seamless. He was always on time and was prepared to answer all our questions (and there were a lot), providing a lot of insights and creating a great atmosphere for the trip.
The safari was brilliant, we were able to see lions, elephants, hyenas, wild dogs and a lot more up close, and the Panorama route was beautiful with lots of breath-taking sights.
Highly recommend Norman and Nhlalala Tours.

Wonderful!
I am very glad that i decided to book my 6 days safari in Kruger with MoAfrika. They were responding very quickly, answering all questions, and made booking easy. I would highly recommend them.
As for the trip itself there is not enough space and time for me to describe it! I just wanted to see animals in there native environment as i hate zoos, but i unexpectedly got so much out of this trip. I did see all animals in different situations very often so close as at would be possible to touch them. It was amazing! But learning about each species was invaluable, given by guides that know so much and in such details that National Geographic cannot hold candle to that. Being in that environment you really deeply begin understanding how everything on earth is interconnected and smallest change in the bush affects the whole planet. You learn beautiful and ugly sides of humanity. You meet wonderful, interesting, fun, caring people, and you definitely have a lot of fun! Time will show but i think this trip made me a better person in many ways. I will be back!!!

Highly dependable and knowledgeable. Worth the money
I had an incredible experience with Skywide Tours and Travels during my 2-day package to Masai Mara. From start to finish, they exceeded my expectations and made my trip unforgettable.
First and foremost, their customer service was exceptional. The team at Skywide Tours and Travels was responsive, friendly, and accommodating. They patiently answered all my questions and helped me customize my itinerary according to my preferences. Their attention to detail and professionalism gave me confidence that I was in good hands.
The tour itself was nothing short of amazing. Masai Mara is a breathtaking destination, and Skywide Tours and Travels ensured that I got the most out of my visit. The safari experience was incredible, with knowledgeable guides who shared fascinating information about the wildlife and the ecosystem. I was able to see the "Big Five" and witness the Great Migration—an awe-inspiring spectacle that left me in awe.
The accommodations provided by Skywide Tours and Travels were top-notch. The lodge I stayed in was comfortable, clean, and offered stunning views of the surrounding nature. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
Throughout the trip, Skywide Tours and Travels demonstrated their commitment to responsible tourism and conservation. They respected the wildlife and the local communities, ensuring that our visit had a positive impact on the environment and the people living there.

He was very attentive, very professional, with a calming disposition.
The trip was phenomenal. Peter our tour operator always insured we were having a great time. We saw many gorillas, the silverback, and babies. Our trip to the Lake which I was not expecting to be much was such a highlight. The lake and accommodations were breathtaking , the service was very professional and the value spectacular. This Canadian found Uganda a wonderful experience all because of Peter.

Fantastic - helped me achieve one of my bucket list items and more
Big Apes was a fantastic selection for my gorilla trekking experience! The entire process was seamless thanks to Peter, from pickup to drop off to the gorillas to the beautiful Lake. Highlights of the trip that would only be possible thanks to this tour would be the seamless adventure to the trek, the food along the way, and both peaceful accommodations at the trekking site (which was very close to the trek starting point) and at the Lake.

Percecf Mt Kenya with Kevin & Maron
I did the 4 day trip to Mt Kenya and sumitted Lenana peak. Karibu organised transport to & from the mountain which went very smoothly but the best part of the trip was my guide Kevin and chef Maron. Kevin was excellent, great to chat to about life, Kenyan culture and park wildlife etc. Maron cooked the most incredible and plentiful meals and together they created an excellent experience for me. They went above and beyond - Setting up my tent, setting up cute lunch locations en route and made the trip the best. Communication before the tour was great answering questions and good value for money.

Our lifetime journey
My husband and I went on safari for five days and we can say, without a doubt, that it was the best journey of our lives.
First of all, we would like to highlight Sandy's management, because with her help, cooperation and quick feedback we were able to tailor the trip to our needs. We were guided from the beginning about different alternative routes, we were provided with different suggested lodges, where we could stay, and left it up to us. Moreover, we must underline that never, even when there were setbacks before the trip, did they forget about us.
Secondly, we would like to give a big thank you to WILSON, our guide during the safari. WILSON is an attentive, friendly, helpful, polite, very intelligent, knowledgeable about the places, the weather, the animals and a very patient man. From the very first moment we connected and we will always remember how lucky we were to have him to elevate the experience of our journey. We had interesting conversations, he solved all our doubts (which were not few) about the flora and fauna in Tanzania, he told us curiosities and anecdotes and we learned with him the true meaning of HAKUNA MATATA.
Our safari started with the pick up at Kilimanjaro airport. Later on, we went on the safari through Tarangire, where we were lucky enough to see a lot of animals (baboons, elephants, giraffes, impalas ...) and after the game drive we moved to a lodge overlooking Lake Manyara (Kilimamoja Lodge) where we rested. What to say about this place: IMPRESSIVE. We will write the corresponding review on the page, but the attention, the details, the location, the room and the love, made our experience there excellent.
From there we left the next day to Serengeti via Ngorongoro (we saw lions, leopards...) and spent the night at Karibu Sametu. This camp enchanted us. The welcome was excellent, with exquisite manners and politeness. They took us to our room (always accompanied so as not to find any surprises) and we loved it. Spacious, beautiful, elegant and with a glass window from where we could see the sunrise of our dreams. It was simply a fantasy.
En route through the Serengeti, we arrived at the Melia Serengeti. The change of scenery was incredible, especially now in the rainy season. On that day we had the opportunity to see crocodiles and hippos, among other species. Of the Melia, which we will also review, it goes without saying that it is a paradise on earth. The facilities are breathtaking and the staff members (we had the pleasure of meeting Fernando and Nacho (Melia Ngorongoro) were charming, thoughtful, friendly and made us feel at home. It's great to see young people with such energy, enthusiam and a desire to take on the world.
The last two days were divided between the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. The final night of our stay in Tanzania was at the Karibu Lion Paw Lodge. I don't think there are enough words to describe the beauty of the facilities, the breathtaking scenery, the service and friendliness of the staff and all in all, like living in a fairy tale.
The food was excellent in each of the lodges and the picnics were exceptional, due to the location and the surrounding nature and, above all, thanks to WILSON who took care of even the smallest detail.
We are very happy that we chose Soul of Tanzania via Safari Bookings, because thanks to them we will always remember the trip of a lifetime.

A Namibian Dream coming true!
Nature Travel is an excellent tour operator who helped us in organizing a self drive tour in Namibia. Thanks to Nature Travel our Namibian dream came true :)
They offer a multiple choice of accommodations and price ranges, the communication was smooth and clear since the beginning, the booking conditions have been clearly outlined and they provided a customized self-drive safari according to our request. The tour operator timely answered all our clarification requests and the tour was very well organized, in all details.
The self-drive safari tour included the vehicle rental - toyota fortuner 4x4, 2 spare tyres and GPS included in the price and car fully insured, it was in an excellent maintenance status and perfectly adequate for our journey. In addition Nature Travel booked for us all the lodges, with breakfast always included and dinner as well in the most of the cases. The lodges are super nice and clean, with friendly and helpful staff, great accommodation. At our arrival, we have been duly briefed about the vehicle use and the itinerary, we met a Nature Travel agent who explained us into details the whole itinerary, by giving us maps and written guidelines. Thanks to this our self drive safari was very easy, and we enjoyed a lot the whole experience.
I am very satisfied of the service provided by Nature Travel Namibia and grateful for having organized everything so quickly (only 1 week before my departure)! I really reccomend this tour operator.
