Very professional and kind staff, on time, good communication at all times.
We have enjoyed the Pilanesberg tour with MoAfrica. They responded quickly, picked up and delivered to the hotel on time. The journey even started when we were picked up from the hotel. Keith gave very useful information not only about the tour but the city, local community etc. with his full energy. After that safari tour - Game Reserve - was led by Thoba (Mr. T.). He was very knowledgeable, experienced. We have seen 4 out of big 5 already within 2 hours in the morning. Again the valuable information about the the animals, nature and park was so useful and added value to the tour. I would like to thanks MoAfrica Tours (especially Keith and Thoba) a lot for making such a tour enjoyable with good memories.

Outstanding!
We are a family of 5 adults, living in 3 different countries. Always complicated to organise a holiday together!
I couldn’t ask better for our first Safari in Kenya!
Jorge tailor made our itinerary based on the requirements, in a very efficient and fast way. I always received a prompt reply.
We did 8 days tour in Kenya, visiting Amboseli, lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara.
We had and incredible tour guide/driver, George (Kenyan name Waiganju), able to show all the possible animals around, also in very specific spots not known by the other guides around!
On the top of that, he is a super safe driver. Also inside the parks.
His presence made the difference in during our safari.
If you are looking for an extra-ordinary journey to Kenya, I really recommend Spirit of Kenya. If you will have the lucky to have George with you, well, he will be the ice on the cake!

Professional, safe and recommendable.
I had a spactacular memorable climb with 3 friens and a crew of 14 people doing their best to take care of us and making this trip a safe and enjoyable experience. I do not hesitate to recommend See Endless Exsperience as a reliable tour oprator.

Lion track Safaris took us on an unforgettable tour of Botswana in total harmony with nature.
Our 14-day trip took us from Chobe national park to the Kalahari desert to the Makgadikgadi saltpans. We were two friends and the Liontracks team were three: the cook, the camp assistant an de guide-driver-leader of our expedition. Yes expedition because it felt that way.
We chose the more luxurious version of the trip. Our tent was put up and taken down for us. We were provided with a shower breakfast, lunch and dinner and very good food. Cooked by chef Tonic who is a magician in cooking over an open fire. One of us is vegetarian: no problem for Tonic. The level of service was very high considering the circumstances. We like a glass of wine an a bee with our dinner. No problem, a cooler/freezer is onboard the vehicle.
Our trip was a continuous safari, we saw lions, giraffes, impala, kudu, cory bustards, orynx, spectacular birds, elephants, hippos, hyena, african wild dogs, jackals, buffalo and much more.
All this plus the hospitality of the team and the knowledge of excellent guide Justice made this trip to the experience of a lifetime for us. And we were absolutely no newcomers to Africa and its marvels.

Top Service!
Really nice 3 day Safari in Masai Mara National Park. Carlos, Moses and their team offering a great service :)
The operator was astounding!
I recently went on a safari trip to Uganda with Vibrant Holiday Safaris and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the moment I contacted them to the end of the trip, everything was seamless and well-organized. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and nature in Uganda, and made sure we saw as much as possible during our trip. We saw some of the most amazing animals in their natural habitat, including elephants, lions, gorillas, and even a rare sighting of a leopard. The accommodations were top-notch and the food was delicious. What stood out to me the most, however, was the company's commitment to sustainable tourism and supporting the local communities. I highly recommend Vibrant Holiday Safaris to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable safari adventure in Uganda. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Knowledgeable, knew the best spots, efficient, kind, super fun, very accommodating!
Sooo incredible! A life-changing experience!
The company - this is a good choice, we got lucky! They answered several questions beforehand. We even changed our plans last minute, messaged them the night before and they responded quickly, willing to accommodated us. Very kind people and very helpful!
Our guide Silas was amazing! He answered all our questions about the animals and park. He also knew the best spots to see animals. He was so kind and fun, he became a great friend! We saw everything - like 40 lions, including baby cubs, rhino, leopards, cheetah, hippos, giraffes, zebras, etc. Silas got us to all these places to watch and made sure we always had front row seats! 5 stars for him!
Our chef James was superb! It was some of the best food I ever had. There were always several options that satisfied all food preferences. He has a gift with cooking meat! And his pizza was one of the best I’ve ever had!! He was very patient when we were late to a few meals! Didn’t realize a budget safari would have such amazing food! 5 stars for him!
Things to note -
The vehicle: Of the 6 charging ports, only 3 of them worked. Also, the USB ports rarely worked, only if there was a plug. But I’m glad that there were international plugs on the vehicle so we could use our American plugs. Also, the vehicle was very comfy and every seat has a great view. Loved opening the roof and looking out from there too!
The campsites: they can get cold. Even though sleeping bags were provided, note that you should come prepared with some warm clothes (as well as cool clothes because they day is hot.) The Serengeti campsite is a little terrifying since animals are close. But the guide and park rangers were always checking that we were safe. The Ngorongoro crater campsite is beautiful! That’s the coldest place though. Also, sleeping pads are a little thin. Totally able to sleep, but if you need something thicker, maybe you’ll want to consider the hotel option (a little more expensive)
Also consider tips with the price. It’s just the custom, even with other tour companies. It was something I didn’t pay attention to at first.

Suricata was helpful, willing to answer questions, friendly, and organized.
We had a great time with Suricata Safari! We felt that this safari experience had all the things we wanted and was a good price. Suricata was helpful in answering questions before we booked and as we were preparing for the safari. The safari was well organized with who was sleeping where, the order we visited the parks, when we’d be picked up, food, and brief and debrief before and after.
We booked the safari to stay in tents. They provided sleeping bags and set up the tents. The camps were established and they were sure to tell us if there were animals etc we needed to be aware of and always told us to just call their name if we needed help. (The night in the Serengeti is the night you need to be most careful for animals but we had no issues.)
Our chef was great, we had yummy warm food for every meal. His meat dishes were especially delicious. He was also friendly and helpful.
Our guide, Silas, was wonderful. He was kind, patient and helpful. He provided information regarding the animals and environment yet wasn’t too long winded. We were very very lucky with all the animals we were able to see. Our guide knows the parks very well, it was almost like he was driving in his own neighborhood. He knows good spots where the different types of animals can typically be found (lion, hippo, hyena etc) and was also actively listening to the radio to know when and where some of the harder to find animals were sighted and quickly drive there. He helped ensure we all were enjoying and seemed to be having a good time as well.

Excellent organization and delivery of the trip of a lifetime
The trip exceeded all my highest expectations.
The guide Silas was very experienced and genuinely cared about us. He briefed us before and after every game drive and made sure to get us everywhere we wanted. In the Serengeti alone he got us 3 leopard sightings and a cheetah, in addition to the lions! One of the leopards left its tree and approached us carrying its kill right past our jeep! Then the next day we even got an up close viewing of a rhino in ngorongoro. He claims we were a very lucky group but a huge part of it is because he is so experienced and capable of making miracles happen.
The three parks were all amazing. The Serengeti was my favorite because it felt the most wild and remote. Truly deserves the prestige associated with it and I'm glad we got to be there for a full 24 hours and do two game drives. But Tarangire was also incredible. I didn't expect it to be so full of animals, right up close and personal. Zebras, elephants, and giraffes are some of the most majestic creatures on the planet.
Communicating through both email and WhatsApp was reliable, prompt, and easy. Great service, accommodating. Highly recommend.
The food cooked by our chef James was all amazing. A good variety over the four days and plenty of it in a buffet style. I usually ate second and third helpings.
I chose the budget camping option and would do it again in a heartbeat. Plenty comfortable and Zebras even ate grass right outside my tent one night. Highly recommend.
Suricata takes very good care of its travelers. They gave me the experience of a lifetime for my first safari and I'd gladly go with them again

All of the little things to make for a memorable special trip
Amazing 12 days in rwanda and uganda. Our driver bosco made sure each and every day was so special. He was so knowledgeable and made long drives very entertaining. Oreste did an awesome job scheduling everything and making sure our itinerary included all the must see spots as well as some off the beaten path. Our entire trip was extremely smooth. Highly recommend!!
