The most amazing and eye opening experience.
We did a 4 night treehouse safari with VIVA Safaris and the experience was absolutely incredible. They took such good care of us from the delicious homemade food to making the most of all of our planned safari trips. The accommodations within our safari package were in the middle of the bush so it really made you feel as if you were in the safari mode. The guides are awesome and super knowledgeable and are really passionate about making the most out of your bush walk or game drive.

On safari with Kanyezi
We completed our first safari with Kanyezi and I have to say that it was an amazing experience. My wife and I have traveled all over the world and without a doubt this was the best vacation we have ever had. The time spent in the Cape Town area at the Spier wine estate was fun and relaxing and there was plenty of wine to sample. But the best part of the trip was staying at the Dulini lodge in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and going on two safaris a day. We saw it all – every animal on the magnificent seven list was spotted. We had a male lion pass within ten inches of our vehicle. We had a herd of elephants come right up to our Dulini apartment and one of them actually drink out of our swimming pool. The staff at Dulini are excellent and the accommodations are truly 5 star. I highly recommend Kanyezi.

Fun Rwanda Times
I had a great experience with both Nicholas L., the Destination Expert, and Nicholas, the Tour Guide. Nicholas L. did a great job working with me in creating my tour, and worked with me in making some final changes to the original itinerary. After receiving the payment, he sent me a prompt invoice, and verified the same. He was also in constant contact and helped me with a few issues that arose with one of the accommodations. Nicholas, the Tour Guide, was also very professional. He was always on time, operated safely, was pleasant to travel with, and was knowledgeable about the various wildlife, culture, and news. I would definitely book with them again.

SETH WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND ATTENTIVE. TRIED VERY HARD TO PLEASE.
COMMUNICATIONS WERE FINE. ONE PROBLEM WAS THAT TWO OF OUR SAFARI DRIVERS DID NOT ALWAYS COMMUNICATE BETWEEN THEMSELVES WELL. ARRIVED LATE TWO OR THREE TIMES TO OUR LODGINGS WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH BETTER TIME MANAGEMENT.
ONE DRIVER, DICKSON, WAS OFTEN ON HIS PHONE WHILE DRIVING, CHATTING WITH FRIENDS OR WIFE.
THAT SEEMED TO BE HIS PRIORITY DESPITE OUR COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. NOT GOOD.
OPANY AND ALI BABA WERE GREAT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE.
RIFT VALLEY ROUTE VERY CROWDED AND FRUSTRATING...BUT TRIP TO MASA MARA FROM LAKE NAKURU WAS BRUTAL. FORTUNATELY, THE GAME VIEWING AND VISIT TO THE MASAI VILLAGE FAR EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS. WELL WORTH IT, VERY MUCH SO. P.S DO STAY AT THE WONDERFUL, CHARMING SAROVA NELSON HOTEL IN NAIROBI. OUTSTANDING STAFF!

Simply perfect
We just returned from a wonderful safari with Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions.
We booked the 14-day Kalahari & Wetlands tour. Even though this is a tour for a small group, it was possible to adapt the program according to our wishes. In the end, we had almost the full duration of the tour as private tour which was very nice.
The communication with Monametsi (and also the guide during the tour) was very good. In the months before the safari we were in contact by e-mail and phone. On the time of booking I requested - if possible - to book quiet campsites, preferably not the public ones. We indeed stayed on very beautiful campsites, most of them very secluded and private (BOGA sites). When we arrived in Maun, Monametsi came to our hotel to meet and he came again and introduced the guide to us the night before we left for our safari.
Our impression was that Moonstroll is a reliable, trustworthy and very friendly company.
We had an amazing experience with our guide OK, the cook DT and camp assistent Paku.
The car and camping equipment was all in very good order. The cooking was amazing, varying and very tasty: soups, pizza, fresh muffins, beef fillet (Botswana has wonderful meat), stews, filled meat pies, but also lots of fresh salads and vegetables etc. - and all prepared on a wood fire. Also, everything was prepared very hygienically and clean - we did not experience any health problems.
The game drives were amazing. Our guide OK went above and beyond to show us as much as possible. I would strongly recommend to stay at least 2 nights at each campsite. We did and had wonderful and very extensive game drives. We saw a cheetah kill a springbok and then call her 3 cubs to eat. We saw leopards three times, many, many times lions (also with cubs, once attacking a hippo on land), had wonderful sightings of elephants, buffalo, giraffes, many different antilopes etc. Since we indicated that we are also interested in birds, OK also always took the time to show us birds. We could always stop and take as much time as we wanted to watch.
OK is a very experienced guide (23 years of guiding), he knows all the beautiful spots and many other guides. This also increases the chance of sightings and beautiful views. He always considered which angle (light) would be good for photography and tried to stop such that our position would be optimal. Also, he is a very responsible guide who truly loves and respects nature. He can answer any question about wildlife. We felt like being inside a documentary film, something we never expected before.
Besides the wonderful trip that we had, we are happy that our money went directly to a local operator and local people.
All in all, I can fully and whole-heartedly recommend Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions.

Excellent service! Elida Tours and Safaris were our guides to Lake Nakuru National Park and Nairobi
David and his team do wonderful work. Elida Tours and Safaris served as our guides to Lake Nakuru National Park and around Nairobi. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and dependable. They have served the needs of our teams for many years. I highly recommend Elida Tours and Safaris for anyone traveling to this area. David always provides great service with a smile!

Personal touch is important
We had been planning this trip for the best part of a year all little details were taken care of and properties and experiences were overall fantastic. A daily call from the office in Arusha made us feel very comfortable and secure and the birthday cake at Lemala was an awesome surprise. We shall to return and when we do we will book with you again.

Tanzania & Kenya safari
Good pricing and a pleasure to work with. Safari hub delivered a trip of a life time within our budget. I will recommend them to family and friends.
