Amazing: They chose the best for and gave us an amazing experience at the Kidepo Valley Tour.
The Trip was organized by Dagiz Travel to the Kidepo Valley National Park.
Dagiz travel organized the entire trip to include transportation, meals and accommodation.
Dagiz travel transport was spectacular; the car was confortable with a fully installed power supply system to charge phones, laptops and any kind of portable electronic devise. The car itself had an open roof which allowed for a grandeur view of the Kidepo Valley National Park with all its creatures and features in a safe and confortable space.
The Driver and the Dagiz travel crew were hospitable offering drinks and meals during the travel (which were part of the paid for package).
The travel to Kidepo Valley was quite long, but the hospitable crew made the journey interesting and bearable.
For our accommodation, Dagiz travel booked us into Katurum Lodge in the Kidepo valley National Park.
The accommodation was marvelous as it had a magnificent view of the Kidepo Valley National Park; not to mention the Sun Rises, the Sun Sets and the Clear Skies of the Kidepo Valley which only added to the splendor of our stay.
The Katurum Lodge is a refurbished hotel, with a rich heritage having been constructed on and from the Katurum Rock...
In the wee hours of the night, you can hear the Lions Roar from Katurum Lodge; and wake up to birds singing and Monkeys to disrupt your stay :) ...
I loved the accommodation Dagiz Travel chose for us. It was a beautiful Lodge; with very good customer care; not to mention the camp fire which crowed our stay at the Lodge. Oh did I mention - the moon to escorted us throughout our campfire - there was that too...
Dagiz travel Kept time and ensured we maximized our visit in the Northern part of Uganda by ensuring we visited the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary; which was along the route to the Kidepo Valley National Park and had the chance to visit a Karamojong community and got to experience the Karamojong culture. Because there was so much to experience, we were far to spent on time, and didn't get to visit Fort Patiko in Gulu which was part of our itinerary :(.
I really loved this trip and cannot quantify the monetary but only say - thank you Dagiz travel for organizing this trip.
I am looking forward to the next trip you will organize... My first trip with you was a bang, and I hope and believe the next ones will continue to blow me away.

Completely organized; knowledgeable guide and animals, animals, animals!
This was a long-delayed adventure from the 2020 COVID days. Over those years, Christine and the staff of WS kept things together and continued to reassure us that our dream would eventually be realized. We had planned the Kruger 5-day Panorama Tour and through the years that continued as our sole focus.
In 2023, the bush camps and resorts perhaps changed a bit but the essence of the trip remained intact. Our guide picked us up as scheduled in our Joberg hotel and immediately immersed us in his knowledge of everything we were seeing along the way to the Sabia River Bush Lodge immediately adjacent to Kruger Park. As a matter of fact the Kruger fence line runs along the back of the property so there can be any number of changing collections of wildlife on the other side of the fence. How delightful it was to spend late afternoons and early mornings with the Hippos currently in residence - 3 adults and 3 children!
Our other two Bush Camp/Resort experiences differed but were equally enjoyable. Throughout, our guide gave us insights and willing/knowledgeable responses to our many uninformed questions. We had no idea that the Park is teeming with wildlife of all sorts or how varied the geology and vegetation is. The only constant in a Kruger multi-day visit is the changing panoramas and wildlife combinations.
In the end we saw thousands of animals and must admit that the highlight was the sunset drive from the Satara Rest Camp. We spotted a pride of 8 lionesses directly beside the road and 5 males in various stages of sleep/rest along the way. And we surprised a young elephant in a family at rest beside the road which immediately put the senior female into an aggressive state along with a very audible warning to bug off! Exciting and humbling!
We'll never forget these and other memories of our time with our guide and Wildlife Safaris in Eastern South Africa!

Excellent experience, highly reliable and professional agency
Everything was perfect from the very first moment. Communications were very fluid with Eric and Zee, they answered all our queries and gave us good advice. The service they provided was very good value for money. During the safari, we had an superb time with the guides, James and Eve, they were extremely kind to us, especially to my 12 year-old son. They did their best to make sure we saw the animals incredibly close. We will never forget the days we spent with them. We saw 4 of the big five, only the rhino got away! Serengeti and Ngorongoro were as great or even better than we expected but Tarangire was a wonderful surprise. As a perfect end to the safari, we visited a coffee plantation and was really interesting and a must go.

We were impressed how the quote was presented, looks very professional and clear. And the trip was amazing, we made short decision to go to Kenya for a week, and it turned out a gift for us, absolutely unforgettable life experience. Glad we did choose Kameraz !

Caring and professional
N’tee was super helpful, caring, and professional. He has done everything as promised and organized everything very well. He gave us all information we need when we booked and stayed connected in the meantime if we had any questions or asked for special requests regarding the time etc. The safari guides were amazing as well - they made sure we can see as many animals and kept us comfortable during the tour. We are very satisfied and highly recommend this company :)

The best trip of our lives
It’s hard to put into words how unforgettable our trip with Suricata Safaris was.
From start to finish, everything is made so easy for you. It would be simple to go on and on about the incredible experiences you have with the animals in the national parks but actually what makes Suricata so special is all the little thoughtful touches and the incredibly smooth logistics. Though it is worth mentioning that our superstar guide Bryson made sure we got to see the big five plus a leopard and a cheetah family :) we had luck on our side for sure!
The airport transfer is so easy on both ends, and they make sure there is no waiting around at any point - unless you want to of course!
We opted for a mid range safari as it was our honeymoon but honestly the quality of the food and accommodation was at the standard of a luxury holiday.
We were lucky enough to be upgraded twice - including a night’s stay at the indescribable Suricata Boma Lodge which is truly five star luxury with unforgettable sunset views over Lake Manyara. Drinking a pina colada by the pool was a real highlight.
I wasn’t sure how good the tented camps would be from the photos I’d seen but they are so much more amazing than the photos make them seem! I had two really good nights sleep in the middle of two of Tanzania’s best national parks - Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Waking up in the parks is an unforgettable experience and we saw all our best sightings because of the early game drives that begin as soon as you leave your camp - and sometimes before!
A big shout out for our guide Bryson who knew so much about the bird life as well as the big game and his driving was incredible which is not to be understated on the rocky Tanzanian roads!
Honestly, this safari was the best thing either of us has ever done (apart from get married to each other).
Nothing is too much trouble for Suricata. We would highly recommend booking your safari with them - you won’t regret it!

Made Memories That Will Never Fade
Joagro Safaris, is simply the best tour operator that I would love to engage any other time I am visiting the beautiful country of Tanzania.
The CEO, Jonas was extremely professional and he went the extra mile to ensure that our safari was a success from the initial contact I made with him until the time our expedition came to an end. His team was cautious and competent.
Everything flowed smoothly and they shared their knowledge liberally; never got bothered with our numerous questions.
The experience was unparalleled and the memories we made shall linger for an eternity.
The jeep that we were assigned with was in great condition and comfortable as we glided over the treacherous terrain.
The driver cum guide, Fadi made the expedition excellent beyond imagination. He knew where to go at the right time and his knowledge of the wild was phenomenal. Great insights did we get from him about the breathtaking land of Tanzania.
The whole experience was worth every time and dime that we spent.
I wish I could have another expedition soon.
I salute Jonas and team Joagro Safaris.
