Professionalism, punctuality and responsibility!
We have been dreaming of going on a safari for a very long time, but it seemed to us that it was very difficult, expensive and troublesome. How to choose a firm? And can they be trusted? Aren't they deceived? After all, this is a different continent, a different language, a different mentality. There are many reviews on the Internet about unscrupulous firms. And so, day after day, reading reviews and recommendations, I saw a review of a safari with Lappet Faced Safaris! And I decided to write to them. I wrote to several other firms asking for prices and programs (to compare offers). Francisco was the first to contact me within 5 minutes after the request. He asked me in great detail about our preferences, living conditions, what kind of food we like and asked many different questions. And literally, in half an hour, he sent me a detailed plan-route of our safari by mail! With photos of the lodges, with a detailed description of the route, what is included and what is not. Well, that's all! After such an offer, I had absolutely no questions about our trip! I must say that in other firms they limited themselves to the usual advertising program. These were standard offers that are offered to all tourists. And Francisco made an individual program for me personally! He foresaw all the nuances (how much rest we need when we need to leave for the airport)! Francisco did not have a Russian-speaking guide in the state at that time, but I really asked him to find one for us and he did it! He helped me buy plane tickets! He not only booked them, but redeemed them for us! Francisco is on call 24/24. Whenever I wrote to him, he always answered within 10 minutes! It's great when you understand that he is always there and everything is under control!
Our safari went flawlessly! We were met at the airport by our driver Maiko and guide Peter. I just love them! Maiko is a wonderful experienced driver-guide. He was very responsive and attentive to our wishes! Thanks to him, we saw the entire African Five.
Peter speaks Russian very well. We were very lucky that Francisco still found us a Russian-speaking guide! We talked a lot not only about animals, but also about life in Tanzania, about customs, about people. It was a complete acquaintance with Africa!
When Maiko and Peter brought us to the hotel, Francisco arrived there too! And we got to meet in person! I am grateful to him for such organization of our safari! He took into account all our wishes and requests! It was the most wonderful trip! I wish Francisco and Lappet Faced Safaris prosperity and many happy tourists! They are truly professionals! Their task is not just to make money, but to make tourists happy and satisfied!

Comprehensive and Quality Service
Dancing Zebra Safari helped us plan and ensure a wonderful experience with the mountain gorillas and golden monkeys in Rwanda.
There are many moving parts to traveling in Africa and I highly recommend utilizing a travel service like Dancing Zebra Safari to help navigate the details and logistics that are involved. Their local expertise allows you to relax because you know they've thought of everything and you can simply focus on the experience. Once all is confirmed, they provide very detailed information about what to expect, what to pack and what to consider as you're preparing for and executing the trip.
We had a wonderful guide, Jean-Marie, who is a lovely human who was knowledgeable and provided great service. We learned about Rwandan culture and developed a deeper appreciation for the country's history and spirit through the many hours we spent with him. We will never forget the immersive mountain gorilla experience. It was beautiful to witness them in their home and to observe their behaviors up close. Obviously you must keep your distance for a number of reasons, but it's an intimate encounter nonetheless. The staff at Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel took great care of us and even provided foot massages and cleaned our hiking boots upon returning from the treks.
A suggestion for consideration is related to tipping. While tipping range guidance is provided and tipping is not mandatory, it's hard to imagine not tipping the locals who work so hard and provide such great care and service. To this end, it would be great if the tipping amounts were determined prior to the trip and included in the overall costs. This way, you don't have to carry a bunch of cash with you and can fully relax. This said, you will still want cash on hand for unexpected needs or unexpected tipping. For example, we weren't prepared to tip the gorilla or monkey trackers.

Amazing Trip!
We had an amazing time in Africa all thanks to the team at Kameraz! Our 7 day safari was extremely well managed. Both Carol and our guide George made sure that everything was well taken care of! The game rides were both fun and insightful and we saw everything (and more) during our time in Kenya!! Overall amazing experience and I highly recommend Kameraz!!
Thank you!

A must-do experience
Very well organised, incredibly safe, with the expert help of professional personal tour guide makes the trip even better than what we had imagined.
Right Choice Safaris shows you not only the amazing scenery and beautiful wildlife, but also the equally important true side of Kenya, while driving up and down the country with a different sight each day.
Would recommend to anyone, but especially to first time safari-goers - their experience and expertise allows you to focus only on the trip and make you feel like the center of attention.

Must Do Trip!
My husband and I did a private 11 day tour with Bluecrane Safaris and we just had a marvellous time! We were in communication with Derek for a couple of months with planning etc and the emails were always very prompt and accommodating to our needs and timelines. Sidney was our driver and guide for the 11 days and we just had the best time. He was an excellent driver and always considered his passengers, and we had a great vehicle for the trip. He had great knowledge about Namibia, the people, places and history and shared lots of information with us. There was always lots of chat and jokes in the car for our whole trip. We saw the most amazing scenery, animals and people. We would highly recommend using the services of Bluecrane and we will be recommending this to our friends as a must do trip! Thanks Sidney and Derek - you made it a most memorable holiday and one of our best!
