Best experience ever!
I had an incredible experience with AFRICAN CHITAH agency during my 4-day adventure, It was the best thing that ever happened to me. From the friendly driver, Median, to the knowledgeable guide, Lucas, and the entire team especially Haroun, I couldn't have asked for a better journey.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience, and AFRICAN CHITAH made it even more special. They provided me with everything I needed – from clothing to support and delicious food. The team's kindness, assistance, and camaraderie were beyond expectations.
AFRICAN CHITAH truly excels in both Kilimanjaro climbs and safaris. During this trip, I witnessed wild, free-roaming animals for the first time in my life, a testament to the wonders of Tanzania's natural beauty.
Lucas, our guide, was not only smart but also incredibly knowledgeable about mountains and wildlife. His excellent communication skills and kindness added immense value to the trip.
Tanzania, with its rich natural landscapes and diverse wildlife, is a remarkable country, and AFRICAN CHITAH is the perfect agency to help you explore it. I can't recommend them enough for an adventure of a lifetime.
Thank you for everything!

Greater Kruger has it all, abundant animals, outstanding lodges, knowledgeable guides, friendly loca
I started researching this trip to South Africa with an internet search for safaris. I found SafariBookings and they were the most comprehensive site with the most safaris. From there, read about the various national parks in SA, and decided that Kruger was right for my family trip. I went back to SafariBookings and filtered for safaris in Kruger, mid-range cost, about 1 week in length. The best fit was Wildlife Encounters (WE) , which offered a 5-day safari to 3 different game reserves in greater Kruger. As it turned out, the lodges that WE had chosen for us were all fantastic. The lodges themselves were like something out of the movie "Out of Africa" or a Hemmingway novel. The food was excellent, often including meat grilled on an outdoor wood fire, lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, and tasty desserts. We found that all the lodges where we stayed used water purification systems that allowed us to eat all the fresh food without concern for disease, which was a huge plus for us. The guides knew their areas well, and did a fantastic job driving and navigating the dirt 2-track roads. We saw the Big 5 animals in the first 48 hours. The abundance of animals is remarkable. Our favorite stay was Tusker Lodge in Kliseri-best food (Victory), best guide (Troy), best tracker (Vucy). Judy at WE gets a shout-out for arranging such a trip of a lifetime.

Review about Kruger National Park by Bruce Geller
The abundance of animmals was amazing. We saw the Big 5 within the first 48 hours at greater Kruger (Kliseri Game Reserve).

100% Local Company sustainable and in support of local communities. Flexible and individual.
Booked a 15 days tour of Uganda. With the support of Jackson, tailored the trip to our personal needs, including participation in the Source of the Nile Ultra Trail run. No problems for Jackson and his team. Local Guide George was absolutely fantastic, making our holiday an unforgettable experience. Goerge went over and above his duties to ensure we got more than we asked for. You can not wish for a better team to serve you. Minor glitches with booked accommodation were resolved quickly and efficiently.

Everything was arranged to perfection
It was a 3 day trip to Serengeti and ngongoro crater . We spotted a plethora of animals and got some good pictures, the food was delicious as well. While camping in the night we could hear lions, hyenas and it was amazing. For me it was a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks to crater explores

Excellence
For our wedding anniversary we planned this safari. Sarah Fuad arranged the whole trip with care and planned various surprises for us. The whole trip was an amazing experience.
We had Joseph as our guide during the whole trip. Joseph was awesome and took care of us like family.

Amazing experience!! best tour operator that deserves 10 stars!!
Just returned from a 7-Day Tsavo West-Amboseli-Nakuru-Mara-Lodge tour (from Nairobi to Mombasa ) ended at Diani beach and had an incredible holiday and safari! I can't recommend CKC Tours and Travel highly enough. Manager John is very friendly, professional and helpful. I have booked a shared tour but ended up being just me for the last few days. The trip was amazing and very well organised with excellent hotel choices especially the various Sopa Lodges and the Killaguney Serena Lodge with nice rooms and delicious food . I saw the Big 5 and many more wonderful animals . My drivers were amazing at spotting them in the distance! The drivers also were very knowledgable and told me a lot about the animals and their country. The price of the tour is probably the best in Nairobi.
Thank you CKC for making my dream come true !

Well organized, friendly
The trip, organized by MoAfrika Tours, was very nice. The transport was quite punctual and I really enjoyed the stay at Kwa Maritane. We were lucky to see many animals. Only the last trip in the closed vehicle could have been a little shorter, because the days were then althogether quite long and we spent a lot of time in the car. But that was just my personal feeling. So all in all: I would definitely do this trip again if I am looking for a Safari close to Joburg.

Amazing adventure with knowledgeable, reliable and respectful guides
Bush-thorns Adventures and Safaris was recommended to me by two different people (both very happy with their safaris) when I was searching for an affordable way to explore some of Kenya's national parks. From the very beginning, Samuel was extremely helpful and quick with his responses. He readily accommodated all our needs (low budget, vegetarian meals, early pick up at the airport etc.) and created an affordable yet packed plan for us. He and Joseph picked us at the airport early in the morning and Joseph took us to Masai Mara and later to Lake Nakuru. Samuel joined us then for the rest of the trip (Hell's Gate, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West). Both were very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and respectful not only to people but also to the animals, which, unfortunately cannot be said about all the tour operators. Joseph always left enough space for the animals which often somehow worked for our benefit since, on many instances, we observed them passing very close to our vehicle, on their own terms. Samuel and Joseph also enthusiastically satisfied our interest in birdwatching.
Because we had only 10 days, we were able to explore only the well-known parks in southern Kenya. However, as we learnt during our trip, Samuel's specialty are the less frequented parks in northern Kenya, so if you get the chance, do not miss this opportunity.
I cannot recommend Samuel and Joseph more. We were first reluctant to hire a guide since we have experience with self-drive safaris in Namibia and South Africa. Kenya is, however, a different story and although it is theoretically possible to drive on your own, I think that going with Samuel and Joseph was way more rewarding, less stressful and I dare to say even cheaper than a self-drive.
So, thank you, Joseph, and thank you, Samuel, for an incredible adventure and best of luck to you!

THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIFE
We can truly say that it was the best experience of our life ! The Safari with Hadzabe was something unforgettable and we don’t regret at all the money we spent !
We took the 5 days Safari, and it was the best choice we could make ! Once you are in Arusha you have to experience your Safari to the full ! Tarangire and Ngorongoro are incredibly wonderful but Serengeti... it's something unique. We saw almost all the possible animals you can see in the wild Africa, and we saw them very very close ! The last day we were lucky to see also a pride of 3 male lions, 4 females and 10 cute baby lions, walking close to our jeep.
Our Safari guide was Mr. John. He had a deep knowledge of flora and fauna, explaining us in all the details the behavior, the characteristics of the animals and he was able to provide an answer to all our questions and curiosities about the Safari. His English is perfect ! For 5 days, Damian, our personal cook, provided us delicious food, he was very professional as well.
We took 2 nights in Lodge and 2 nights in tents in a camping Site in Serengeti. The camping experience is something you have absolutely to experience. It's not only a good way to save your money, but also a way to experience the wild nature of Africa.
We absolutely recommend Hadzabe Safari Tours to everyone and we thanks them that they provided us this unforgettable life experience.
