Absolutely perfect
Words really can’t express how happy we were with Lizette at SafariBookings. I had emailed several travel agents when we decided to go on safari. She responded immediately with clear, concise information, so we quickly chose to work with her. She recommended Notten’s Bush Camp, which was perfect for us. She always responded to our emails in a timely fashion. She arranged everything, from the guide who met us at our flight into Johannesburg and to the connecting flight, to transportation to and from the lodge. She even helped with locating my husband’s lost bag and getting it delivered to the lodge. She is responsible for making this the trip of a lifetime. I recommend her very highly. Thank you, Lizette, for everything

Wonderful Machame Trek with a Great Crew
My wife and I did the 7 day Machame route on our Kilimanjaro trek. We booked the trek with Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari. Booking the trip was very easy because Edward the contact was person was easy to work with.
Our guides William and Morris were incredible. They were highly experienced and were helpful on every step of the way. They were also very knowledgeable about the mountain. They shared a lot of facts with us about the beautiful scenery that was along the path. Morris was great with my wife. She struggled a bit but Morris was there to help her. They strategized with each other every night as we had dinner and then briefed us on the next day’s climb. They worked closely with us to ensure that we were in good health. They constantly monitored our oxygen levels and health status. On summit day, we left the camp at midnight. The guides had us going at a comfortable slow pace. The pace was perfect because we arrived at the Uhuru peak just as the sun was beginning to rise. The sunrise was magnificent and absolutely spectacular. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
We had a wonderful trek and I recommend!

Gabon -- Unique Country, Unforgettable Trip, Great Travel Company
I just returned from two of the most remarkable weeks I have ever had in Africa. Chalo Africa put together their first two Gabon Safaris in July and August (2019) and I was on the second trip. It wasn't a safari for the inexperienced traveler; internal transportation in Gabon is a mess so traveling between three amazing national parks (Lope, Ivindo, Loango) was very time consuming. But the experience in each park was unique and worth the effort. And Chalo did a fine job of arranging the best transport possible, given the challenges.
One of Chalo Africa's owners, Sangeeta Prasad, accompanied six of us on this journey in order to get some first-hand experience
in Gabon. The whole group, including Sangeeta, was a fun collection of unique individuals. We laughed a lot.
Among our outstanding experiences were:
-- seeing members of the world's largest mandrill troupe (Lope Park),
-- spending several days viewing forest elephants, red river hogs and gorillas at Langoué Baï in Ivindo Park,
-- and cruising the lagoons and waterways of Loango National Park.
Loango was the overall wildlife highlight. There, we trekked through rainforest following habituated lowland gorillas (less than 30 yards away), had an amazing guide, Dmitri, who wandered into the mangroves in pitch darkness and came back to the boat with a 4 foot Dwarf Crocodile (fairly rare), and we saw large numbers of elephants, extraordinary birds, red river hogs, hippos and much more. Note: we weren't at Loango in the correct season to see surfing hippos and elephants on the beach, but the stay at Loango Lodge was very comfortable and our two nights at their Akaka bush camp was a great experience.
Chalo Africa put together a unique trip to little-visited places. Their entire staff (including in-country operator Guillermo) could not have been nicer. This trip had logistic challenges (i.e. catching trains in the middle of the night); but it was full of good times. I recommend it to other experienced travelers .

Wonderful Adventures in Africa
My 2 brothers and I have just returned home from our 7 days safari adventure with Wild Secrets Safaris and it has exceeded all our expectations. Everything went perfectly from our communication with Rashid, timely transfers, the actual trip, our experienced guide, wonderful accommodations, comfortable and spacious vehicle..... even the weather was great.
Our itinerary took us to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Nathan as our driver and guide. The number of animals that we saw on tour was insane. Nathan knew the parks like the back of his hand and every where we turned there was something wonderful to see. By the end of our safari we had seen hundreds of elephants, more than 5 prides of lions including some that were mating in the Serengeti, lots antelopes, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, warthogs, numerous birds and beautiful African landscape. Our balloon ride over the Serengeti was a great experience too watching the animals from above.
We are very grateful to Rashid and your team at Wild Secrets Safaris for the wonderful adventure in Africa.

A dream vacation!
The communication from the time of booking until we returned was great. The accommodations, transportation and tour guide was outstanding! We had a fantastic time everyday and Humala was the best! The staff, food, luxury tents and safari drives was an experience we will never forget. The best part of this tour is that is limited to six people which makes it more personal. We had 4 other people that are now friends because we created great memories like having drinks at sundown watching Rhinos! The only negative thing to say is the at the Lion park and Pilanesberg we were not in groups of 6 but in buses with 20 plus other people and lost that personal touch we had the rest of the tour. It was crowded and it catered to people in front of the bus next to the driver, not everyone. We also wished we had more time in Pilanesberg, wished we got there earlier and stayed after lunch not just half a day. Other than those two things the vacation was a dream come true! The food was great and the wine even better (alcohol is not included but very affordable, something like 2 bucks a glass, same for beer bottles). We have so many great pictures of animals and the beautiful scenery of Africa. Thank you Touch Down for a great time! Improvement in Lion park and Pilanesberg vehicles to a group of 6 will make this a five star rating. I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5!
