"Surpassed our expectations a wonderful experience"
Having spent our first week in Cape Town, we flew to Zimbabwe for the second week of our South African adventure. Waiting at the airport for our party of six with a minibus to take us to our hotel was Fortune Ndlovu from Forche Tours and Travel. On route to our hotel Fortune gave us a bit of Zimbabwean history, their cultural customs, and traditions.
He had arranged a bespoke compact itinerary for us. Although the programme changed slightly, this was well co-ordinated by Fortune, who organised different vehicles and drivers to take us to and from our destinations. Everything went like clockwork.
On our first night Fortune arranged a fantastic African cultural evening at The Boma Dinner and Drum Show. This was an interactive evening; the food was tasty, and we had fun getting on down playing the drums – it was a vibe!
We experienced the wonder of Victoria Falls, it was awesome. The spray from the force of the water came at us from all angles - we got absolutely drenched. We definitely needed raincoats! We also flew by helicopter above the Falls – this activity was recommended by Fortune, the view was breath-taking.
Other highlights of our trip were the stunning views from The Lookout Café at Victoria Falls; a sunset cruise with dinner along the Zambezi River; vintage train journey with drinks and canapes on the Zambia side of ; safari cruise along The Chobe River.
Our trip also included a full-day safari, with a picnic lunch. Unfortunately, we didn’t see all the big-five, but it was amazing to see birds and animals in their natural habitat, up close and personal.
Overall, Fortune did us proud and we would definitely recommend his services if you are interested in visiting Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia.
A ‘BIG’ thank you to Forche Tours and Travel for a memorable holiday.

Professional, trustful and qualitative safari company
We loved our time with ‘Smile with us Tours’. We were with four friends and had a great trip. Msese was our guide, and he did whatever was needed to make us enjoy every moment and feel great and safe. He showed us all good places, and he knew Nyerere Park very well. He brought us to places where nobody else went because our 4x4 car was strong, and he knew the car very well.
The communication with Jakub, the owner of the company, went nicely. He gave us a reasonable price. Much better than other companies. We met people in the lodge that went with other companies. They paid more for the same lodging. Also, the car we had was much better than other safari companies were using.
All in all, we loved it, and we would advise everyone to work with Smile Tours. Thanks!

Magic moment, safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Our safari with Claws of Africa has been a magical moment. In four days, we have gone to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with Fadhili, guide and driver, and Magoma, the cook in an excellent Safari, very well organized. They lovingly and efficiently complied with everything offered in the contract: Transportation in a 4x4 in very good condition, comfortable and clean accommodation in the different camps. Tours every day, with expert and kind comments and explanations from our beloved guide. The attention for each meal was great, with good flavor and diversity of dishes, including vegetarian food. We are very happy, grateful and warmly recommend Claws of Africa agency.

Good communication, tour guide is very knowledgeable
Excellent value for money! Great six day tour with our driver Stanley. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals and area, and spent a lot of time trying to find all the animals for us.

Great wildlife experience
Everything was perfectly organized. John Peter was very patient with my many inquiries and requests, but in the end everything was great.
We spent days in Amboseli (Kibo Camp) & Masai Mara (Ashnil Mara).
We used domestic flights to avoid long trips by car and have been sometimes the only passengers on board (like a private jet).
The trails were sometimes a real adventure during the rainy season in Masai Mara.
The teams in both camps were very concerned about us and the food was very good.
In Ashnil Mara all employees were particularly attentive and warm. We felt really welcome. Thanks to John Peter for organizing this unforgettable holiday!

Best experience in jinja and murchison falls.
Best experience in Jinja and Murchison falls.
We had our wedding on 10th June 2021 and on 12th June 2021 we traveled to Uganda for our honeymoon, my husband loves water so much. At this point I asked Funride adventures team to design for me a 5 days itinerary of places near water bodies. I was given what exactly I asked for. First day we traveled to Jinja with the help of our guide Frank, the next day we had a morning boat ride and later in the afternoon we went for white water rafting oh my God this was so wonderful. My husband wanted to do water rafting the next day but we had to travel to Murchison falls. We were welcomed by Paraa safari lodge team checked in refreshed and had dinner. The next day we had a morning game drive where we fell in love with wildlife. It was my first time to see lions. We found 4 of them in the bush. Later in the afternoon we went for a boat ride. My husband never wanted to live the top of the falls but time was not by our side. If I get any other chance in Uganda with my husband surely, I will contact Funride adventures for another experience in Jinja and Murchison falls.

Professional and always up beat.
Panthera Photo Safaris was a joy to deal with. Their communication was excellent in the build up to the tour which took place in the Timbabvati in South Africa. Lance certainly helped take my photography to the next level and did so with ease and I appreciated his sense of humour and patience. Kirstin was an outstanding host and I found their prices to be very competitive. The experience this team provided superseded the cost of the trip.

In particular we would like to pass on our thanks to Edwin, whose eagle-eyes, friendly nature and immense local knowledge made it a very special trip that we’ll never forget.

Simply perfect, in every way perfect
From the starting point to the return, Musa our guide was perfect, perfect organization without ever being constrained. A real guide who advises and offers without ever imposing either a program or a course or a timetable.
He was able to share with us his attachment to the landscapes and animals of the Maasai Mara throughout our stay with him. Interested and challenged by each question we asked, motivated by our curiosity, he knew how to create a captivating cultural interaction. We were able to meet with him a part of Kenya in all its aspects, geographical, cultural, political in the broad sense in addition to what can be expected from a safari, landscape and encounter with the wild animals that he knew how to unearth. discreetly and non-intrusively while avoiding large concentrations of 4x4s.
A very big thank you
