As a travel professional & first time traveler to South Africa I was so pleased with my recent trip.
Some experiences just make that "special spot" in your travel memories and "Ka ingo Private Game Reserve" / Royal Morubisi Lodge was above our expectations. I meant Go Touch Down Travel & Tours at the area Travel Show, became intrigued and ended up traveling to South Africa as part of their offering with 5 other friends. We were seeking a unique experience without a half dozen safari vehicles crowding the animals and causing that "tourist" feeling. Royal Morubisi is set amongst 44-thousand acres and the entire 5 days unless our field ranger radioed another vehicle with news of a special animal siting we never saw a soul. Sunrise and sunset game drives never failed to amaze everyone in the land rover. Photography is a hobby so needless to say I was in my glory. Prior to traveling I worked with Lucia at Go Touch Down Travel & Tours to arrange for the trip. I don't think I could have believed how great this property would be or how spectacular the private game reserve actually was. A watering hole quite near to the thatched roof open air restaurant and bar made for spectacular animal sitings even during meals. This is the way to go on Safari!

The tour operator is a professional, organized and facilitated my holiday.
My dream was trekking gorillas in the forest, Valiant Safaris made this come true. From the first phone call i made and the emails were all answered professionally. David's knowledge of animals and the country was really outstanding and a safe driver, I have never had a guide like him before. Thank you Valiant for making my tour a memorable experience.

Reliable tour operator with an excelllent guide/ driver
Travelling alone on a business trip I found it important to find a reliable and responsible tour operator for a 1 day safari. Keshi tours did a great job: communication was good and easy by whatsapp, Justin, the guide/driver was on time, drove very responsible in the crazy Mombasa traffic, knew a lot about the animals and the park (Tsavo East). I saw more animals than expected and although not all of the big five were spotted, I saw lots of elephants, zebra's, antilopes, gazelles, heartbeast, baboons, a maraboos, giraffe, swines, ostrich, dikdik and 6 lions.
The park is beautiful with the orange soil, blue skies and green or brown vegetation.

He was very flexible, personable and his knowledge of the parks was fantastic.
We loved having our own private tour guide. Patrick adjusted our itinerary multiple times and responded quickly to questions. The accommodations were great, the food was good and the service was incredible at every location. We received a detailed description of each park and lodging facility and we received what was promised and more! It was an incredible experience to see all of the African animals we could dream of up close and in their natural setting. Highly recommend Shanjoy Tours.

Darren listened to our wishes and planned a seamless and very personal itinerary.
We communicated with Darren or Compass Odyssey exactly what we wanted and he was very thoughtful and precise with the planning of our trip. We began with 4 nights in Capetown, which was just perfect. Our personal guide, Glen, was fabulous! We saw all of the sights, plus a couple that we requested, as well as a day of wine tasting at some beautiful wineries. Our entire trip was very personal, in that there were only the 5 of us on all of our tours and Safaris, except for 1 camp in Kruger, where another couple joined us, who fit in perfectly. No big crowds or tours! All of our accommodations were very nice, and our safari hosts and guides were extremely knowledgable. All of our accommodations had very comfortable beds, and nice baths with good showers. Queen Victoria in Cape Town was a boutique luxury hotel, as was The Peech Hotel in Johannesburg. Highly recommend both! The Victoria Safari Lodge had the feeling of a real African setting and we enjoyed sitting at the outdoor bar each evening watching the sunset and the animals at the watering hole. After having dinner one night at the famous and historic Victoria Falls Hotel, we were quite happy with our choice of accommodation, feeling the VFHotel was a bit stuffy. LOVED the Chobe River Lodge, and the Pom Pom tent camp in the Okavango Delta. Senalala Lodge was nicer than expected and the hosts were very nice, knowledgable, and accommodating. The trip could not have been better planned by Compass Odyssey, and we thank you for truly memorable experience.

Wonderful Safari Tour!
We had the best time on our safari trip with Crater Explorers! Emanuel was very helpful in coordinating our trip, and he answered all of our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner. We felt confident that we would have a good experience even before it started. The accommodations were fantastic! We stayed at a lodge and a tented camp, and they both felt luxurious. Emanuel, the chef, prepared amazing food for us and we never went hungry. We always looked forward to his meals! Frank, our tour guide, made the safari so memorable. He knew all the good spots in the park, and his knowledge about the animals and their behaviors and habitats really elevated an already amazing experience. I will never forget how Frank skillfully tracked a leopard so we could see it up close. We would highly recommend Crater Explorers, and if you’re lucky enough to have Frank and Emanuel on the trip, you will be guaranteed a wonderful time.

A very friendly team with a lot of knowledge about the country and its animals.
We had a lovely time in Kenya during our 6-days safari trip through Amboseli National Park, Laka Naivasha and Masai Mara. Most of the accomodations were very good and luxury. We spotted a lot of animals (the big 5!) and learned a lot about the Kenyan culture. For anyone who is looking for a complete and affordable safari, we really recommend Marurumi Safaris.
