Amazing Experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We knew we couldn’t go to southern Africa and not go to Victoria Falls. I started looking for a tour which would include safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana. While doing my research I came across safaribookings.com. They gave me several companies to choose from. I decided to try Cuckoo Safaris based on communication, itinerary and cost.
It was definitely the right decision. I can’t imagine another company being a better experience than they were. Our guides Simon and Norman were great. Simon was especially helpful!

5-Day Epic Tsingy & Baobab Adventure
We completed the Tsingy de Bemaraha circuit in 4 days with Madagascar Mystery Tour Operator, at the end of December 2025, with family (my wife, our two children) and with five friends.
At this time, the condition of the tracks makes access very complicated. We had contacted several guides before, but almost all had refused the tour. Mr. Liva, CEO of the agency, was the only one to accept and he also acted as a guide throughout the stay.
Despite tight timing and difficult conditions, the organization was excellent. His very good knowledge of the terrain, local actors and the Tsingy National Park of Bemaraha clearly facilitated the trip and made the experience even more enjoyable.
An unforgettable journey, well supervised and human.
Thanks to Monsieur Liva and Madagascar Mystery Tour Operator.
We highly recommend this local tour operator.

Salonik is best of the best
I had a wonderful experience with Camp Lilac Mikumi Safaris. The safari/game drive was truly memorable, offering a great opportunity to see wildlife up close in a beautiful natural setting. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip while sharing interesting insights about the animals and the park.
Everything was well organized, from the timing to the overall flow of the drive, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The team’s professionalism and passion for what they do really stood out.
I would highly recommend Camp Lilac Mikumi Safaris to anyone looking for an enjoyable and authentic safari experience. It was definitely a highlight of my trip!

Wonderful, experienced, attentive and knowledgeable!
I couldn't have asked for a better value trip! The Maasai Mara is so spectacular that it really doesn't need anything extra. It was incredible how much we were able to see and how comfortable I was on a budget. But the guide and everyone at the camp where we stayed including the Maasai people were so generous, warm, hospitable, knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. The trip was well-organized, so even as adjustments might be made, it is all being done by the experts with the most experience. As a solo traveller, it was great to meet so many new people as a part of the group, and to get to know each other over meals and while out in the park.

Great tour with our guide, worked with us to cater to our desires
We had an incredible trip with Fenie, he was relaxed and informative on our entire trip. We basically saw everything we wanted and so much more. During the trip asked to have some modifications to our schedule and he was super accommodating to allow us to do so.

Knowledgeable, entertaining person. Lebo had all the insights and background info ready that's neede
Great service, the tour had several stops, we were picked up on time at the hotel. The guide explained a lot of things, not only about Soweto, but also about the history of S.A. It was a great experience!

Fantastic trip with great guide
I went on a three day safari to Masai Mara staying Jambo lodge.
This trip was great. Our guide Francis was the best. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and everyone there seemed to be friendly with him. He managed to get us up close with lions cheetahs, big elephant herds and much more. Got some amazing pictures as a result.
The Jambo lodge had nice glass walled cabanas with comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and the food was good. There was a pool, gym etc. I don’t understand why the place was not more packed.
All in all a fantastic trip.
JT Safaris, Excellent experience again, well looked after, trustworthy, guide Ken perfect
Great safari, we have used Julius before many years ago. We were amazed by the whole experience once more. A safari is not for the faint hearted as you can get very close to these amazing animals.
Our guide Ken knew exactly when to back off or not to worry when close up. We were so lucky to see many elephants, lions, both black and white rhinos, giraffe including a tower of 50, lots of hippos, many antelopes too many to list, Jackals and hyenas very close by, birds again far too many to list but the flocks of flamingos and pelicans were our favorites'.
The camps we stayed at you could not fault the service and rooms, Ken worked so hard to make sure the safari was fantastic for us, my main aim was to get some great photos, he made sure he parked in the best possible spot for me.

Great safari experience
This is 4,5 stars. My safari tour through Savanna Sojourns was really good! Communication and service was excellent and our driver (Chris) was brilliant. Our allocated hotel was also good with so friendly staff and fine tents. The only thing holding this trip back from a 5 star is the food at the hotel which was OK. Also, make sure to eat or bring breakfast for the first day heading to Mara and be aware that the last 2 hours of the drive there is very bumpy. We would go again.

Awesome!
Our first Big 5 Safari Tour was nothing short of incredible! From the very start, the excitement was unreal and it only got better with every moment out in the wild. Seeing lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo in their natural habitat was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Martin was knowledgeable, passionate and made the whole experience even more special. It’s something we’ll never forget, truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! But we will repeat it as we still have to „hunt“ leopard 🐆 hehe
