Bush 2 City provides excellent service and easy to talk with to give you the perfect experience.
Our experiences with Bush to City came from a recommendation. Jackson was so easy to work with, communicate, and explain what we wanted. He was easily able to give us the right experience. Also, when we asked for a few special things to celebrate an anniversary and birthday he really did a great job making sure it was a unique experience.
We also went to South Africa. Jackson explained he does not do this and provided the perfect recommendation for someone to help us.
All communication was on WhatsApp and email which was much easier than one might think. And it saved a ton of time.
Also, ask for Jacob to be your guide! He was amazing and he's now like family.

Tanzania is an extraordinary place for wild life
Tanzania is a land of wildlife discovery.
Our experience in the parks was very enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see many animals.
We weren't able to interact much with the locals, as we did most of the safari by car.
In June, the weather is very pleasant.

Outstanding Experience
As an experienced solo traveler when I researched an African safari I realized the complexity of logistics and decided to do it right to have the experience I wanted I needed an expert. I found that expert in Wild Wings Safaris. Communication with WWS was excellent from my first inquire email. Tanja at WWS listened to my interests and made recommendations and rapidly put together a perfect 8 day itinerary combining two Kruger National Park locations, South, then Central and Klaserie Baobab Ridge a private reserve. The organization of the Itinerary was excellent, clear to understand day by day movement and illustrated with maps. Additional important good to know information was also provided along with an App. to down load the itinerary, information and contact points to my iPhone that was then available offline. Tanja was great at answering the few questions I had in a timely friendly manner. Note that my research told me the best time of year for sitings is June to October.
An additional note on WWS organization, while en route to Johannesburg my connecting flight was cancelled. I immediately emailed WWS to let them know what happened and I may arrive late. Tanja immediately responded with an alternative plan in the event of a late arrival to get back on itinerary track. You can’t ask for more. Fortunately I was able to reschedule a flight and arrived on time.
I met my guide Nicky in Johannesburg who then drove me to Kruger. The first afternoon in Kruger I saw the Big 5 plus a cheetah. Saw lions and many of the big 5 as well as other wildlife everyday. Nicky was an invaluable part of the experience. She had a keen eye for spotting, knew the park extremely well to find sitings and was relentless in finding everything that lives, roams and flys in Kruger.
She was knowledgeable, informative about the safari expectations, safety, the animals and their habits. She gave me some photo tips that improved my shots. Nicky is an experienced guide, good driver, good humored and a well organised fantastic cook preparing gourmet dinners. All itinerary meals were prepared by Nicky . Alll accommodations in Kruger were appropriate and comfortable. Baobab Ridge Private Reserve provided the off road tracking experience an ability to get closer to some animals. The lodge was beautiful, with detached luxury suites and chefs preparing wonderful meals. My guide Divine was experienced and we got good sitings.As a solo traveler I was paired up with two different small groups four of the eight days. We all got along, rotated jeep seats and shared delicious meals together.
My overall experience was exceptional. The entire Safari was seamless. I highly recommend Wild Wing Safaris. I am already planning on booking another tour with them. Explore their well designed website as they have a variety of offerings in many African countries. Safe travels.

Don't hesitate, book with Tales of Tanzania today!!
I could fill up pages with my praise for Tales of Tanzania Safaris, but I will try to keep this concise! My husband, 11-year-old son, and I booked the 10-day Northern Safari circuit with a couple of extra days in Arusha on both ends. I researched extensively and reached out to multiple safari companies asking for quotes. We decided on Tales of Tanzania because they provided the best price, a private safari, and excellent communication and they are a Tanzanian based business. I questioned my decision many times in the months leading up to the trip, but I am now confident that it was the BEST decision I made!
Leading up to our vacation, I emailed extensively with the owner, Pendo, asking many questions. Pendo was kind, reassuring, and prompt to respond. She tailored the vacation to our desires, creating the perfect itinerary for us and answered every question I asked. She is passionate about her job and committed to making each client’s vacation a wonderful experience.
When we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted by Peter, who was with us for the entire trip. He was our guide, our driver, and became our friend. His knowledge of the country, easy going nature, patience, and kindness were extraordinary. He went out of his way to make our experience perfect. After mentioning our love for coffee, Peter made sure we had hot, freshly brewed coffee with every meal, even while out in the parks. When our son forgot his beloved stuffed toy, Peter drove 4 hours back across the Serengeti to pick it up for him! I will be forever grateful to him for making our vacation the incredible experience that it was. The other reviews mention different guides that people have loved, so I have decided that Pendo must hire all the best guides! (I will always be convinced that Peter is at the top of the list, though!)
As for the vacation itself, it was incredible in every way! The animals were amazing, of course, and the cultural experiences were beyond my expectations. The country is beautiful, and the people really are as kind and welcoming as others say they are. I felt safe and comfortable the entire vacation, and the service was unmatched. (The only time we carried our own bags to our room was when we arrived back in the USA!). Stop searching and book with Tales of Tanzania now. (Tell them Kristy from Texas says hi!) You won’t regret it!

During the tour, we experienced the simplicity and warmth of the Ugandan people. we saw the beautiful grasslands and various animals, and were shocked by the passion of the Nile. The pearl of Africa is well worth seeing.

For a your trip of a lifetime- Sino-Africa is an absolute must
l am so happy that I found Jong from SINO-AFRICA to help arrange our first safari to Kenya.
He helped to arrange an itinerary with all the places that we hoped to see, at a reasonable cost. He was very responsive to every email and his input was priceless on putting together the perfect safari for our family. He kept us informed and directed us with each step to prepare for for our journey. He was willing to make several adiustments as we finalized our plans without complaint and kept great
communication.
Our family just finished our safari. Everything went as planned. We had a wonderful time, without any complications.
Solomon, our driver, was the best. He spoke great English. He knew his territory and had respect for the animals. We felt safe with him, and we enjoyed his company. We were so fortunate to have him guide us on our 8 day safari. We saw so many animals - all of the big 5, and so many more. What a great trip. I will be recommending Sino-Africa, Jong, and
Solomon to all my friends.
I would not hesitate to plan any trips, especially the once in a lifetime vacation with this company.
Thanks again Jong.

Fantastic
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable adventure in Uganda with Ovacado Adventures and their fantastic guide, Robert Mugisha. From the moment I joined the tour, it was evident that this experience would be nothing short of exceptional.
Ovacado Adventures proved to be a reliable and well-organized tour company, ensuring a seamless trip from start to finish. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident throughout the journey.
As for our guide, Robert Mugisha, his expertise and passion for the region's wildlife and culture were truly commendable. From the vast savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park to the dense jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Robert's knowledge of the flora and fauna enriched every step of our adventure. His ability to spot elusive wildlife and share captivating stories about the local communities added an extra layer of excitement to each safari and trek.
The safari experience at Queen Elizabeth National Park was a highlight of the trip. Robert's keen eye and patience allowed us to witness a plethora of wildlife, including majestic elephants, graceful antelopes, and the awe-inspiring lions lazing under the African sun. The boat safari on the Kazinga Channel was equally enchanting, providing us with a unique perspective of the park's abundant aquatic life.
However, the pinnacle of our journey came with the much-anticipated gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Robert led us through the challenging terrain with ease, ensuring our safety while respecting the gorillas' natural habitat. Witnessing these gentle giants in their native environment was an indescribable experience, leaving me in awe of their intelligence and sense of family.
Throughout the tour, Ovacado Adventures maintained a strong commitment to responsible tourism and conservation efforts. They emphasized the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems and supporting the local communities, which was both inspiring and heartwarming.
My 5-day wildlife tour with Ovacado Adventures and the exceptional guide, Robert Mugisha, exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend this experience enough to anyone seeking an authentic and transformative journey through the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife of Uganda. Whether you are a seasoned adventurer or a first-time traveler to Africa, this tour promises an adventure of a lifetime.
