Superb trip
We had the most amazing time. The trip was so well organised by Bryson and executed perfectly by Simon. We saw everything we wanted and more. We really felt like everyone went the extra mile for us and it was the trip of a lifetime.

Just amazing
Can highly recommend! Our expectations were surpassed, probably the most amazing trip we did so far. Our guide Ezekiel and our personal chef Tito were making it a wonderful and unique experience, so friendly going far and beyond with everything. The food was delicious, the nature incredible. We saw all kinds of lions, cheetahs and wild animals. If you want to go to Tanzania, we highly recommend suricata safaris!

Amazing
Brilliant Adventures and Safaris made our family dream come true.
Our family experienced a trip of a lifetime in March 2022 when we travelled to
Tanzania with Brilliant Adventures and Safaris! Gladys at Brilliant Adventures and Safaris was amazing to work with and created an itinerary just right for us. Gabriel, our guide, was fantastic! We are convinced he knows every person and animal in Tanzania. His knowledge of the country, its history, its people, and the animals that live there is immense. We travelled for over two weeks with Gabriel as our guide. We were able to visit the wild animal parks, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, we saw, lions, rhinos, giraffes, elephants, leopards, warthogs, hippos, dik-diks, zebras, birds of all kinds and so much more! The lodges were fantastic, and the Tanzanian people were friendly and kind. Gladys also made our travel and lodging arrangements for a visit to Zanzibar after our safari. It was an amazing trip! We are grateful to Brilliant Adventures and Safaris, Gladys, and Gabriel for giving us a trip that our family will remember forever!

Recommended Tours with Solomon
We took the 3-day Masai Tour and absolutely loved it! Solomon was our guide who picked us up from Nairobi and accompanied us through the entire trip. He was very helpful both to his clients and his colleagues and went above and beyond to show us everything in the park. He answered all our questions and made sure to keep us interested throughout. We even managed to see the rare Black Rhino thanks to Solomon’s dedication!
The camp was basic but had all necessary amenities and meals were satisfactory. It was a pleasant camping-style environment. Mama Helen was kind and catered to all our needs.
Thank you for the experience. Would definitely recommend Jockey Tours and Solomon as your guide.

Wonderful Experience!!!
As my husband and I are looking though the pictures we took on our Gilmag Safari we are still in awe from our wonderful safari experience. Only in our dreams did we think that we could see the wildlife in the national parks that we traveled to in Tanzania (Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti). Our eyes will never see the same way again!!! Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocks, buffalos, a multitude of birds, and the Serengeti Migration!!! So many beautiful scenes, landscapes and sunsets!!!
A big THANK YOU to Mary, Gilbert, and of course Nickson our safari guide. The planning of this safari was easy and Mary worked with us to customize our trip to fit our budget. The Land Cruiser safari vehicle was comfortable without any mechanical problems... everything was flawless and not even an hiccup in the itinerary. The lodges and camps were amazing and more than what we expected. The food was plentiful and delicious.
I would highly recommend Gilmag Safaris if you are planning a safari trip to Africa. It will be a journey of a life time and one that we will never forget!!!

Excellent service and value for money
As always, DK Tours has exceeded my expectations as the go to tourism company for a wholesome safari/vacation experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. This is an account of my most recent visit from May 29 -June 5, 2022. This is a very long review and l hope it’s reassuring if you are having doubts about booking with DK Tours :)
Day 1: The trip started with an airport pickup to my accommodations.
Day 2: Was in the form of a next day guided tour of the majestic Mosi-oa-Tunya/ Victoria Falls. I was quite happy to have someone take the pictures. Trust me, you will want someone to take them! This was my first time traveling to Victoria Falls in June and the amount of water falling was truly amazing! I remember jokingly comparing the Falls to the Niagara Falls in Canada with another tourist who was visiting from New York. In his words, ‘the Victoria Falls are much better because they are all natural’ and we have the pictures to prove it! This was followed by lunch at the LookOut Cafe, the Lookout burger is to die for and the views, oh my!
Day 3: This was a more relaxed day to shake of the jet lag and exploring the city followed by a splendid dinner at Boma and some drinks at 3 Monkeys.
Day 4: The day started pretty early with a drive to the Zim/Botswana Kazungula border and there was plenty of wildlife along the way peeping from the darkness. We arrived at the border at day break, just as the border opened, and were picked ip from the Botswana side by Kidi, beginning our early morning Game drive. They say the earliest bird picks the fattest worm, which is probably why we were quite likely to run into a pride of 16 lions! This was my first close encounter with lions and by the end of the day the count had gone up to 20! No other group had seen that many by end of day. We had more close encounters with elephants, giraffes, impala, kudu, buffalo and hippos! My only regret was not seeing zebras that day (but there’s plenty of zebras at the Hwange National Park). We had buffet lunch in a lovely Lodge along the river and had a cruise after lunch. It was amazing to see the wildlife from the water side and elephants dipping in and playing in the water and a gorgeous sunset to end the day. We were then taken back across the body and slept the rest of the way after a very long, amazing day!
Day 5: The last day in Victoria Falls was topped by a 15 minute helicopter ride over the falls. As much as l loved the Falls from the ground, the view is even much breathtaking and better from the sky. You can even spot the devils pool which is on the Zambian side. The ride ended with a fly over the national park (l think) where we spotted some giraffes and elephants. At that point, l was satisfied with the entire trip with all expectations met.
In summary, this is worth the money and will leave you with stories to tell for a lifetime. If you are not sure, ask DK Tours for recommendations, including the best time to visit.
I hope that’s helpful. All the best!

Responsive, kind, caring, knowledgeable and inspiring! They truly want the best for their customers!
If I could give Shemeji travel 100 stars I would! They are the best company out there, have the best camp sites and hotels on their books, the best trucks, and the best staff. Everyone is so kind, thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable. They all contributed to help us have our bream bucket list holiday and made it a million times better. They allowed us to relax and took the stress out of planning. Their hotels are exquisite and well worth every single penny. The guides they use are some of the best and happiest people I've ever met who inspire you to do better every single day. If you are booking a safari use these guys. It was effortless from start to finish!

Absolutely fabulous experience!
We are a family of 3 and used Sino Africa Safari to organise a 3-day flying safari in the Fairmont Mara Safari camp at the end of May 2022. Jong, our safari specialist, was absolutely fabulous throughout the process, leading us through the initial booking, safari planning (making all the options very clear in great detail) and organised the whole trip extremely well. Our stay at Fairmont was really special and we had a truly unforgettable experience particularly for our 7 years old daughter who cannot stop talking about both the camp site and what she saw during the safari. It was really a world-class place to visit.
Not only Jong was helpful, knowledgeable and made the whole process as easy and smooth as possible, but he also did it with great enthusiasm which made us feel looked after and reassured us on our first big trip after Covid (from the UK).
We couldn't recommend Sino Safari more wholeheartedly and a 5 stars rating is more than deserved for the service they provided to us.

You have a friend in Andre!
My dealings with Andre started when I inquired about a Kruger safari. He soon became my go to person for all things travel. Namely, where to stay, what tour to book. He even helped me with a domestic airine booking (its cheaper if you buy locally). We became such good friends that he even met me at the airport just to meet up with me (No charge). In a world of uncertainty, Andre demonstrates rock solid service. My daughter had left a sweater at one of the resort, Andre was reaching out to us and making arrangements for its return, before we even found out it was missing. I could carry on but I want to end by saying I will always have a spare bed for my friend Andre at my house! Thank you for everything, Andre!
