Two weeks adventure in Botswana
We spend two weeks in Botswana and Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) with Moonlight Safaris.
Everything was perfectly organized. Guides Bogosi and Judah took great care of us from arriving at the airport till our departure. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the animals and the life in Botswana.
We visited the Victoria Falls and made several boat tours on the Chobe river. Went on a special camping in Savuti, Khwai and Moremi for a 6 nights with two vehicles and support team of 4 people. They set up great camping for us, cooked delicious meals and made our life in the bush a real pleasure. It ended with two days boat tour in the Okavango delta with a one night special camping in the delta and a panoramic flight above it.
Needles to say we saw a lot of animals during these two weeks - elephants, lions, giraffes, leopards and cheetahs, wild dogs and zebras to name a few.
It was a great adventure and we returned full of unforgettable memories. I would highly recommend Bogosi, Moonlight Safaris and his team for everyone looking to experience Botswana's wildlife!

Professional, knowledgeable and intuitive to what we actually wanted from our time in Southern Afri
Our trip was everything and more. Matthys from discover Africa was very professional and knowledgeable. Easy to make contact with and listened, working with me to put together our trip. Clearly not his first rodeo.
The places and safaris we did, so well organised . Not touristy, home cooked food , local enthusiastic guides. Incredible experience.
Highly recommended Discover Africa

Uganda's Best Guiding Company
Where do I start? We wanted to go with a local agency to avoid the rip-off that is paying an external agency a huge mark-up.
We chose Kajie for the reviews and they only exceeded expectations. We did a 9 day trip including 2 days of gorillas and chimps, QE national park, Murchison Falls, and Rhinos.
Firstly, Ronald, the founder of Kajie, was our tour guide. He is an exceptional human being and travel partner. My partner and I had such fun sharing the nine days with him and felt such a sadness leaving him behind. He is extremely bright, sharp-witted, superbly knowledgeable, an organisation machine, with a gigantic sense of humour and a big heart. From the first day we knew we had not made a mistake!
The tour itself was exceptional. Gorillas incredible (recommend more than one day) as was the area of Bwindi. Kajie organised exceptional accommodation (especially in Bwindi at Bweza and at Turaco Treetops, being the notable highlights). Chimps incredible. QE incredible. Murchison incredible.
Honestly there is nothing I can fault about this trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience and it was made all the better by sharing with such a great companion and guide.
Thank you so much to Kajie and Ronald for the passion toward guiding, nature, and conservation.
Vamos!

We saw almost everything possible!
Our guide was Noel, and he arrived punctually to pick us up. Once we were in the national park we immediately started seeing lots of wildlife. We only had three days to spare and he made sure we got our monies worth and more.
He was very patient with us, allowing plenty of time to watch the animals. While some people may not care a lot about the dikdiks, we saw 35 in about 1 1/2 hours the first afternoon. He delivered us to the safari camp and we had a good meal. When we were signing in animals were coming in to water just out back. During dinner our server mentioned to us 6 lions were out back in the darkness if we wanted to see them. It was pretty cool. Noel was great and we will ask for him again since we will be going back. Feel comfortable booking with Tanzania Comfort Safaris. You can’t go wrong!
Fantastic personal service from the best tour operator out there!
We went on a personal winged safari in Namibia for two weeks in August 2023. Derek Jacobs, the owner of Blue Crane, is everything you would want in a tour provider. First, he and I worked together to choose our locations and lodges. He is flexible, patient, and informative. The tour itself was fantastic, with the exception of Hoodia Desert Lodge, which Derek is no longer using. Derek keeps in timely contact with his clients, both before and during the trip. He goes out of his way for you and really cares about you and your needs. For example, the dates of our Botswana and Namibia tours accidentally overlapped. Though the oversight was both of our faults, Derek took complete responsibility, reordered the dates on our lodges, and paid the extra charges himself. THAT is impressive, but that is Derek. Likewise, he extended himself and offered personal services on two other instances when I changed gears on him. Blue Crane Safaris is an impressive, top notch safari provider run by a top notch guy. I cannot recommend him and Blue Crane highly enough.

Wild Africa Travel Company for Ovavango Delta experience
Wild Africa Travel Company suggested Oddballs Camp for our trip to the Okavango in Botswana. We wanted to be among the animals and away from the sounds of vehicles and this was perfect for us - a couple in our early 60s. Oddballs Camp was great and the staff fantastic. We enjoyed great meals with the other guests. The accommodation felt like we were in Africa and was more than adequate for our bush experience. We chose to camp out two nights, reaching the camp spot by mokoro, with just our guide and one assistant. Magic! When we weren't doing walks with our guide (sometimes for four hours) identifying footprints, poo, animals and learning about animal behaviour, we were at the camp enjoying cups of tea, hot showers to wash the dust off and watching animals come to the water. It was an ongoing wildlife documentary! We want to do it again.

Knowledgeable guide that is passionate about animals in their natural habitats!
Our family of six ( 4 children ages 13-18) traveled to Kruger National Park for a 3-Day Safari. I can not recommend this safari experience more! We spent 2 weeks in SA and this was by far our favorite. The crew at Mbombella took care of us from the planning - working with me on lodging, our budget, and activities. The long car ride into Kruger was filled with welcoming information on the surrounding lands and villages close to the park. Netto was very kind and friendly in giving our family lots of information and facts on the park and SA in general. As we arrived to the Park - our expectations were EXCEEDED. Our family was treated like royalty. We stayed in a very nice bungalow that accommodated our whole family. The Bungalow was beautiful with nice outdoor views. Our safari rides were incredible. I would suggest at least 2-3 days in the park to be able to see all of the Big 5! Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable about the park - from how to find animals to detailed information on all of the animals, trees, birds, etc - he was a wealth of information which was so valuable. Our family learned a lot and came home with some incredible pictures. To top off our experience- the home cooked meals made by Hilda were amazing - the best food we had during our stay in the 2 weeks we were in South Africa. Not only was the food amazing - again the royal treatment was laid out - white tablecloth meal under the stars. My family did not want to leave. I give them a 10 out of 10 and would book another tour with them in a heartbeat! They went above any beyond to make sure our family had memories of a lifetime! Thank you.

Safari Nyerere
Very good safari, with a great guide and lots of animals! Walking Safari was a real adventure and the boat tour wasn't to be underestimated either! All in all at least as good as Serengeti, just cheaper!!

Amazing!
We had an amazing time in Tanzania, thanks to our tour operator Savannah Explorers! Seeing the animals in their natural habitat was an awesome experience! We visited several parks and saw soooooo many different animals. After 5 days of game drives, we flew to Zanzibar for 4 days on the beautiful blue beach. Our accommodations were all 5 star and we have no complaints. All of the people we encountered were so nice and welcoming. The weather was perfect, in the low to upper 80’s (F) during the day. Our trip to Tanzania was one of our best trips yet!
