Well organized
We lived with Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris the most magical experience of our lives.
Everything was well organized, sleeping in the tents in the camps in the middle of the animals was incredible, the guide was great and the chef prepared very good dishes for us.
We saw a lot of animals in 3 days, much more than we could have imagined.
I recommend 100%, very good value for money!

Super accommodating and makes sure everyone is having a great time
Our experience with GoTouchDown has been great! We're the type of travellers who don't typically work with multi-day tour operators just because we prefer to explore on our own with a flexible schedule, but when we decided on South Africa as our "big trip", GoTouchDown definitely helped made it a huge success. We didn't know much about South Africa, but from reading online travel guides about the country, we knew we needed local experts to ensure we had a safe and memorable trip. The ground staff in the US were professional and had helped us a lot in providing the necessary documentations when we had to apply for visas to enter South Africa. Our local tour guide, Tabo, was with our small group of six 24/7...from Day 1 of when we started our trip in Johannesburg to Day 7 for when we depart from Hoedspruit back to Johannesburg, he made sure everything was good in our group, and tried to do as much as possible if we had any issues. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and professional, and a great personality that made the long drives a very enjoyable one! The rangers that we had at Songimvelo Game Reserve - Tandi, and at Tshukudu Game Reserve - Tyler, were both super knowledgeable and entertaining, and they were going the extra mile to make sure our group's wishes of seeing certain animals was fulfilled. Hands down, I would say the lodging at Humala was one of the most comfortable and luxurious "glamping" experience, and would definitely love to stay there again to unplug and be with nature.
Possibly because of all the things that happened in the last 2 years with the pandemic, the changes that was made to our initial booking (which was back in 2020) could have been communicated better and could have given the travellers more choice on what we wanted to do with the upgrade vs original itinerary. Sometimes the ground staff in the US was a bit hard to get to when we had questions in regards to visas and getting some help on documentations. I would say the tour may be a little bit expensive for travellers who don't want to splurge. Otherwise, if you want to know that you'll be well taken care of, don't want to worry about planning for the next day's activity and just have a great time, we would definitely recommend GoTouchDown.

Very successful safari
Excellent stay in Kenya. The safari which lasted 7 days was very well organized. We did 4 parks, as planned in the schedule:
-Masai Mara
- Nakuru (with Lake Naivasha)
- Amboseli
- Tsavo East
- Transfer to Nairobi airport
A wonderful discovery of animals in their natural habitat and the famous "Big Five" thanks to our guide Ben, who was super friendly, very knowledgeable and professional.
He is a very qualified person who was able to answer all our questions, both about the animals and about the life of the locals. It allowed us to observe all the Kenyan fauna from its most beautiful angle.
We slept in several lodges, which were all of high quality (reception, catering, accommodation, etc.), in particular Ziwa (in Nakuru Park) and the lodge in Tsavo East Park.
We highly recommend organizing your stay with Ben, who speaks French but also English.
Thanks again to Ben and his whole team!

Great Guide
David was the best travel guide we could wish for. He was guiding very good. He took his time to show us around and made it possible to really dive into culture and nature. I remember me saying to him that he is more german than the germans, when he was waitung for us in the car ready for the tour 15 min before time :) So overall great time with him.

We were. Group of 6 from Kenya to Rwanda. They picked us from the airport and were with us for the next three days and took us back to the airport on the 4th day.
The car was comfortable and clean as was the driver who was knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing
My boyfriend and I booked a 3 day safari (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) with Meijo Safaris. It was such a good decision. Right from the start, the boss Daudi was very friendly and very responsive to our questions.
We were with a great guide Felix and chef William, they were so friendly and helpful the whole time. The trip itself was a really great and unforgettable experience and I would love to do it again. It exceeded our expectations. High praise. We saw all the animals

Great trip in Murchison falls
My family of 2 kids and I went to Murchison falls national park we really had an amazing time I was happy my daughters were happy to have seen lions and leopards in the tree
Especially seeing elephants along the Nile banks the boat cruise to the falls is something unique not to miss to predators in the Nile I highly recommend such a national park for any person going to Uganda for safari its very big and nice

Highly recommended!!
I chose this company for the cheapest fare offered. Honestly I was not expecting to receive such a professional treatment. Nelson is very flexible and always helpful with any requests (and we had many!!)
I definitely recommend Focus on Africa!!
