Amazing trip,great price, excellent service and a friendly knowledgeable guide/driver
We were 4 friends we had planned to visit Kenya for the longest, I was the coordinator Ja, Tina and Eric Great safari tour service with very good pricing, upfront communication about the tour along with a detailed itinerary. The actual tour itself was amazing with very good accommodations provided at all locations. Special mention about our friendly and knowledgeable safari guide John!

Wayfairer Travel delivered a truly unique experience. Everything was top notch!
Wayfairer Travel was extremely responsive to our desires and requirements and kept in contact with us throughout the planning process as well as the actual trip. The safari exceeded all of our expectations - the accommodations were excellent, the food was wonderful and the our week long Tanzania safari was AWESOME! Our itinerary took us to Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti where we saw not only the "Big FIve" ( Lion, Black Rhino, Cape Buffalo, Elephant, and Leopard), but also cheetahs, giraffes, topi, gazelles, hyenas, jackals, zebras, impalas, baboons, blue monkeys, wildebeests, hippos, to name a few and countless species of birldlife. We could not have asked for a better experience. . Wayfairer Travel selected the test greeters, guides, accommodations, and itinerary that we could have wished for. We were most happy that we chose Wayfairer Travel for our first safari.

Cool Safari experience in Tanzania!
Experience with Okoa africa tours was Great, would just wish a bit more help with a choice of the tour beforehand. It is very important to choose the right spots at the right times because of animals migration and weather condition. The communication was from the beginning flawless.
We visited central and southern part of Serengeti during migration, Ngorogoro crater (the best!) and lake Manyara and stayed 3 nights. After seeing it I would next time exchange lake Manyara for Tarangire NP for the variety of animals, but also like this it was great as all 3 NPs offer you very different view on the nature (savannah, tropical forest, lakes, crater).
Our guide Halifa was absolutely amazing and knew so much about all the animals and plants and was very flexible regarding our plans and answering all our curious questions. We did the camping tour so we also had our Chef Sokofo always with us and he was just the best! Did not expect having such great food in the middle of nature. Campsites were all very clean and enjoyable, but be prepared to sleep surrounded by animals (not dangerous, just a strange feeling when a buffalo feeds himself with a grass right around your tent.
The price is very appropriate for the experience you get, it was just stunning!

Asante Sana- Great Safari Experience and Reliable People
My family and I were going through our Kenyan safari memories and remembered I had not shared a review on our trip on this platform with fellow travelers. We visited Kenya for a 7 days family safari where we had a great time and are now saving up for another trip in November this year .We spent more 3 nights in the Masai Mara and only 2 nights in Lake Naivasha. Our budget budget was tight but our excitements was high,so we all decided to shop for nice packages at the most affordable price .Some of our friends from Ireland recommended Native Africa Trails, a boutique company they had used them before. We are glad we listened to our friends because everything was beyond our expectations from a small local tour operator. Mwangi was very professional and knowledgeable portraying a lot of integrity. The choice of hotels was great and the safari jeep was in good condition. The Masai Mara was the highlight of our trip and would recommend staying there for at least 3 nights to make the best use of it. We cannot wait to go back and dance with the Masai and possibly have fun with the giraffes at the giraffe center.

Fantastic experience
We took a 4-day, 3-night safari through SafariWithUS. The itinerary was incredibly well-planned and thorough, and we had a phenomenal time. Over the course of our safari, we saw a variety of animals-- in addition to the elephants, zebras, giraffes and various breed of antelope that are abundant in Kruger National Park, we also saw hippos and crocodiles (from a distance), buffalo, rhinos, a couple of leopards, and even a cheetah. The only major game we didn't see were lions.
Our first day and a half were in the public portion of Kruger, and we stayed the night at the Kruger Adventure Lodge in Hazyview, which was a bit like a summer camp with hotel rooms rather than camp cabins-- very homey and nice. The next day, we were driven after our day game drive into a private game reserve adjacent to the public portion of Kruger, and stayed two nights in the beautiful Kurula lodge. Our host, Kavi, was a fantastic guide who gave us both tremendous insights into the wildlife living in the park and made every game drive a unique and wonderful experience. The staff at Kurula were incredibly kind and helpful as well. We couldn't have asked for more.
The drive back to Johannesburg went through the beautiful Blyde River Canyon, and was a great capstone to a wonderful trip. Couldn't recommend it more!

Serengeti Shall Never Die - Completely Justified
Tanzania name itself has some vibes. Its worth to visit as it gave me a life time experience. I have been to Serengeti national park along with my wife in the month of December, 2019. I stayed over night in Arusha before we head to Serengeti which is 5 to 6 hours travel by road.
Serengeti national park is worth visiting place to experience wild life. Staying in bushes will be life time experience. I got chance to see big 5 five and other animals too. Serengeti has many picnic spots along with hot water facilities and washrooms.
I used Afrozone Kingdom Safaris for my safari trip. Manager Mr. Adam, a polite man who picked me up from Airport and had been in touch with me through out my safari trip. He has got helpful staff to make trip hassle free. I strongly encourage Afrozone Kingdom Safaris to plan your Tanzania trip.

The warm heart of Africa - a destination full of natural diversity
I try to visit Malawi once a year for pleasure, I'm a keen wildlife photographer, and for me every trip brings me so much enjoyment, the diversity of wildlife is astounding. My favourite time to go is when the rainy season starts (November / December), which although makes for difficulty traveling along the dirt roads, does bring out wildlife when the short spells of heavy rain stop and the temperature is cooler and more humid. Insects, birds, monkeys, but do watch out for the snakes!! You will need your malaria tablets, particularly in the wilderness and near the lake. Solar panels can be purchased for around 15,000 - 20,000 Malawian Kwacha, and if you take a car socket and car usb lighter charger, and a small portable usb battery - you can manage to charge your phone and camera each day as electricity in the wilderness is often non existant. Phone signal has improved over the years I have been, and you can often get a 3G service, although it can be patchy / unreliable, and will not support Skype / data calls. Local simcards are best bought with help from your guide - bundles work out at around 12,000 Malawian Kwacha for 6GB. The best times to look for wildlife is early in the morning from around 4am as the sun is rising, and before sunset at around 3 - 4pm onwards. The sun rises fast, and the heat does become unbearable quickly - during the day can be very hot and it's best to stay in the shade even with high factor suncream. Embrace the simple way of living, enjoy the local food, and be rewarded with some unusual and absolutely fantastic wildlife!!
