ALL INCLUSIVE SAFARI EXPERIENCE OF A LIFTEIME!
From responding to email before booking all the way through ensuring we made it back to the airport on time for our flight, the Wild Planet Safari team provided world class service. Thank you Ryan and Lungisani!
My wife and I chose Wild Planet because of the value in providing transportation to and from Tambo airport in J-berg and in managing all the logistics for us to stay inside of Kruger National Park for the duration of our safari. We learned that this allowed us to begin our morning drives a full hour earlier than anyone staying in accommodations outside of the park.
Our guides were Ryan and Lungisani, two highly professional and knowledgable gents with years of experience. They not only helped us spot and identify a vast number of animals on every single ride, they were able to answer every question and provided even more history and context for complex issues like the horrific practice of rhino poaching.
They went above and beyond our expectations to provide information about logistics as well as warm meals three times a day; they even pre-emptively ensured our caffeine addicted heads would not hurt and bellies not grumble by having hot coffee and rusk (SA equivalent of biscotti) ready for us each morning! What's more, we got a full view of Blyde River Canyon on the panorama route and stayed in a room w/ the most amazing view we've ever had from a hotel on our last day--a bonus for booking a fifth day.
Needless to say, our safari was filled with magical moments as herds of elephants crossed our path, as rhino appeared on the horizon as the sun rose at dusk, and even while jumping in a waterfall while on a hike after leaving the park! Ryan and Lungisani planned a perfect itinerary that allowed us to observe and photograph animals with tremendous patience and shared wonder. They are friendly and communicative and just full of knowledge, so ask questions--they always provided thoughtful responses.
Bottom line: We can't wait to go back to Kruger with Wild Planet Safari and are telling all of our friends to choose them when they go too.

Do not use
A dishonest man, a crook. We booked a 11-day tour with Enrico’s Tour and Safari, fully paid in advance. What happened was incredible. When we arrived we found out that he had not booked two guides and two cars as planned, and not all hotels rooms and dinner were paid for as well as all the activities. This person calls himself Clarence or Enrico, and acts at the expense of tourists. He left us in a torrential rain in an unassembled tent with no beds. We ended up paying the accommodation and visits again. Do not trust him.

Best experience!!!
We booked a 5-days private safari tour with Godson Adventures and the trip exceeded our expectations in all aspects. The accommodations were outstanding, the food excellent and our tour guide Faraji brilliant. I cannot recommend the company highly enough, they provided the best service from the start. Simply brilliant!
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us!

Fantastic safari experience & excellent service from start to finish
I expected to love the 5-days safari tour in Tansania, but the tour with Godson and his team totally surpassed my expectations! From initial contact and trip preparations through to the day we left, Godson Adventures could not have been more wonderful, attentive and professional.
The lodges were all lovely, the food delicious and the countryside you drive through is unending beauty. But what made the trip so special was having the best guide imaginable: Faraji. An amazing spotter of all types of animals and great company. We would not have seen half so much without him.
We could not fault Godson Adventures in any way, and would highly recommend! An excellent, professional and very knowledgeable company! Thank you all Noel, Godson and Faraji for making this trip extraordinary.

The Safari was great new experience for me, I'''m very excited how it all turned out!
Well first of all it's important to note that this is budget safari, therefore expectations must be set based on this fact. Anyway, the food was good, especially at the camp, the tents were also good. There were lot of mosquitoes in tents, but again, that's a normal thing to happen in Africa outside in nature (just don't forget to take the repellent). Hot water was in the camp, the bed linen were clean, I was afraid it will be cold to sleep, but it was not at all. The best part was our guide Arony - very experienced, polite, had very sharp eyes to spot wild animals, knew all routes in the park perfectly, told us about the animals and was a very good driver. If someone is looking for a budget safari - Karibu is definitely the one I would recommend.

Tanzania Choice Safaris exceeded our very high expectations of our dream vacation!
We are so grateful that we traveled with Tanzania Choice Safaris for our trip to Tanzania. From our first Skype call with Brenda, it was clear that developing a relationship with us and planning the perfect vacation for us was her goal. The detailed itineraries that we received were always perfectly tailored for us and updated as our plans changed. Through future conversations, we ended up booking both our time in Zanzibar and safari through Tanzania Choice Safaris. When we arrived, Brenda and Kakasii met with us for lunch so that we could discuss the trip in more detail and would not have to wait out the long layover at the airport. When we made it to Zanzibar, they ensured we were in good hands our guide, Khamis. The safari was a new adventure each day! We loved seeing the elephants and birds in Tarangire, the beautiful scenery and the animals including lions in trees in Lake Manyara, the cheetahs in Ndutu, the migrating animals between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, our day of lions and our Rhino spoptting in the Serengeti and our trip into the crater, especially the sunrise over the crater. It was an incredible, gorgeous expereince, all made possible by Brenda and Kakasii! All of our travels were expertly planned, our accommodations were ideal, and we did not have to worry about a thing throughout the two weeks we were in Tanzania.

Twiga made sure that this special holiday was totally unforgettable with loads of memories to keep.
We loved Twiga Travel from the minute we arrived. The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their surroundings. We really felt at home for the duration of our stay. The rooms are tranquil, very luxurious, comfortable and clean. The game drives in the Kruger National park were superb with our guide who informed us of the amazingly rich diversity of the wild life. This was an out of this world experience. Twiga made sure that this special holiday was totally unforgettable with loads of memories to keep. They went above & beyond for us and we can’t wait to return.

Excellent Excellent Excellent!!!!
One of the best experiences in my life.
The service provided by Mwajabu was a IMPECCABLE!!
She is ALWAYS available over the phone or whatsapp no matter what questions you have even before you set foot in Tanzania. I would text her at 1:00 am and she’d happily reply! Super helpful and friendly and really cares about her clients’ happiness and comfort.
Her staff are very friendly and speak perfect english. We didn’t have any issue at all and while a lot of other safari cars broke down, ours was solid and ran perfectly well. She then met us in Zanzibar after our safari and offered us a free taxi (45 min drive) to our hotel. She even asked one of the hotels to surprise my gf with a complementary birthday cake.
Lovely person, amazing service. Highly highly recommended!!
