A 50th Wedding Anniversary Dream Come True!
This was one of the best vacations we ever had and we have been on quite a few in our lives. The guides were excellent, the itineray was perfectly planned and the places we visited and stayed were memorable. The food was delicious and we have absolutely no complaints at all. We just have praise, praise, praise for such a remarkable experience. We were treated like royalty from the moment we stepped out of the airport. The skilled drivers always kept us safe and provided water for us daily. They even took us shopping, since we had trouble with our luggage, which was not at all any fault of this tour company. In fact, they went out of their way to keep checking the airport to see if our luggage ever arrived late. This tour company is so concerned about every detail and they make our journey so personal and private. We picked the dates and the length of time we wanted to spend in each country and they planned the rest. When you read the words....You dream it, They plan it, and You live it....that is the absolute truth. We cannot say enough about this vacation, but we know we will remember it, all the animals we saw, and the fantastic people we met for the rest of our lives. God bless all of you and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. You all made our 50th anniversary the Best Ever!

A travel company that listens and delivers
We started planning in mid-2019 for a safari in 2020. After talking to a few companies we settled on Safari Online primarily because Sabrina was happy to have a dialogue with us, listen to our ideas and make suggestions. There was no hard sell and she was happy to go to and fro checking availability, prices etc with different lodges. Eventually we settled on a trip visiting Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. Due to covid the trip had to be postponed, initially to 2021 and finally to 2022. In mid-2021 every country seemed to have it's own set of covid rules and we decided that it might make sense to simplify the trip to one country - Botswana. Not a problem, more time spent finding the right lodges for us and, once again, no pressure. To our surprise and delight, Safari Online's relationship with their suppliers was such that none of the cancelled lodges retained any of the deposits paid.
The trip finally went ahead last month and really lived up to our expecations. A great safari, organised by a great company. I would certainly recommend them and use them again. And a special thank you to Sabrina for her patience and expertise.

2-day safari game drive nyerere national park Selous
Our safari was absolutely amazing! We were on our own in the car with a guide and a driver (who was a mechanic as well). He tried to find all the animals we wanted to see and did his best to make us happy. They were always punctual and polite. He always stopped the car whenever we wanted to stay a little longer or to take a picture. They had a lot of cold water stored for us so we all stayed hydrated. The guide could answer all of our animal questions and told us everything we needed to know about the different animals too. The communication to the other guides was very good. They always stayed in touch to make sure everyone could see the rare animals. In that way he also got to know in which area the animal we wanted to see has been seen last. We highly recommend Uwanda tours and would always book again!

Best Local Tour Agency
They totally exceeded our expectation! We had a private safari which included a private safari gude for the entire safari, incredible food (gained 1.5 kg after safari), and very comfortable hotels. They know what they are doing! We saw everything and enjoyed! Asante sana!

Unreal and beautifully designes experience!
Loved the experience with Suricata! They assisted me with figuring out which safari was best for me (when I had little understanding of the area or exactly what I was looking for) and set me up with the perfect safari last minute. The time inside the parks was phenomenal and the guide was very knowledgeable and charismatic. The food was also incredible and the chef was friendly and even helped teach us how to cook some! The campsites were also unreal (definitely recommend staying inside the parks). Suricata and staff were truly helpful in every way and attentive to ensuring the best experience for their customers in every situation. Lewis and Saleem were incredible for the three days. Would definitely recommend them to a friend!

Going above & beyond, Discover Africa created our trip of a lifetime.
My wife and I highly recommend planning that Africa sojourn with Megan Warrington of Discover Africa. Our trip exceeded all expectations.
She picked out great properties in the bush and Johannesburg. She made sure each property met our request for two separate beds.
She helped plan/execute special occasions during the trip:
1. A chauffeured, custom tour of the Johannesburg's fashion scene.
2. A dinner in the bush and sleep out under the stars featuring cocktails, linen tablecloth dinner, dedicated chef, barman, guide and 24-hour security. It was super romantic, a scene from a reality TV show.
Flawlessly handled all the in-country transits, even chartering a plane to deal with flight disruptions caused by flooding in Kwazulu-Natal.
Megan kept us continually posted throughout the planning and right up to Day 1.
Before and after the trip, Megan helped us contact property managers. Her efforts helped us acquire very memorable special coffee served at one resort.
We hope to return to Africa and if we do, Megan will be our first call.
Some photos from our dinner & sleep over “under the stars”

Gave us the experience we wanted
Very well priced and got to see a lot! We explored multiple different parks in northern Tanzania and got to see lots of different animals up close in their natural environments. Our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable.

An astonishing experience with Ombenni and Gosheni Safari!
An astonishing experience with Ombenni and Gosheni Safari! It is difficult to find the right travel agency but we are very happy we landed with the Gosheni team. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and they made sure all went smoothly and with Hakuna Matata. We manage to see a dozen lions, a couple of leopard, a lot of elephants and a thousand wilderbeasts and Zebras migrating through Serengeti.
Definitely recommend!

Excellent
We loved the safari experience and our driver/guide Ombeni went above and beyond, led us to beautiful animals and set up great lunch for us in the middle of national parks, taught us a lot of interesting facts about the animals and took great care of us. If we come back again, we would still choose Ombeni as our guide.

Great safari
Our guide Ombeni was excellent. He had an eagle eye to spot animals and he showed us all we wanted to see and more.
