Truly amazing and a wonderful experience.
We booked a 5 day safari in Ruaha National Park with Raja tours. From beginning to end they were responsive and helpful. Nico our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We stayed at Hill Top lodge, which was breathtaking and the hospitality was amazing. I would definitely recommend.

Gorilla trekking and safari in Uganda
We spent 13 days in Uganda and 3 days in Rwanda doing safari, chimpanzee trekking, gorilla trekking, bird watching and cultural tours and visits, all with the travel agency Home To Africa.
We have previously visited Tanzania for a safari trip. Although the safari parks of Uganda are not of the same vast size as those in Tanzania, the low number of tourists in Uganda made our visit feel like a VIP tour. We spotted many animals, including all of the big five. The Ziwa rhino sanctuary is currently working on reintroducing white rhino to the national parks of Uganda. Here we got to get up-close on foot with a number of rhinos.
Our driver and guide Sam was extremely knowledgeable about the parks we visited and the animals living there. He also told us a lot about the history of Uganda and the culture of people living in different parts of the country. We had a great time together, and we really felt that he did his very best to give us an unforgettable holiday.
The highlight of the trip was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi NP. It was an amazing experience visiting a gorilla family in their natural habitat. We got to spend one hour watching them eat and interact with each other, before we had to head back to the civilization.
Uganda is also a great travel destination for birding. We photographed a number of exotic birds during our visit.
We were positively surprised by the quality of the food, which was excellent at all hotels we stayed at. We enjoyed a mix of local dishes and traditional tourist dishes. The hotels that Home To Africa recomended were all amazing boutique inspirerande lodges.
Overall, we are very happy with our trip and we recommend Uganda as an excellent travel destination off the beaten track. Home To Africa made it possible for us to see different aspects of this beautiful country!

Truly amazing experience
We booked a 3 night 4 day safari which started in Tarangire, then through the Serengeti and ending up in Ngorongoro Crater - it was a budget camping safari. The safari itself was amazing, would 100% recommend. The camping was certainly an experience we won’t forgot, being woke up in the night by howling hyenas and grazing buffalo. We saw every animal and bird imaginable, including all the big five, and even got to visit a Masai village. Seth the tour operator was helpful, he organised the trip, he responded to all emails quickly. Seth is an agent and it will be a different company that you will have the actual safari with but this isn’t a problem. We went with big five voyager - our guide and chef were great! The balance we paid on the morning of the safari was 150 usd more than what Seth said it would be however we didn’t really mind as we still paid under the market rate for this type of safari. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Seth again. All in all great experience.

I would give more than five stars if I could!
I have been to a few African safaris but my trip to Zambia was THE TRIP OF MY LIFETIME! Stacy, Ami and the whole Dazzle Africa team were the dream team to bring you a dream trip to Africa. Everything exceeded my expectation – from the spectacular accommodations at Mfuwe Lodge and the bushcamps, some of the best cuisines I have ever had, knowledgeable safari guides, to the unforgettable stargazing experience in the African savannah. I will never forget seeing African wild dogs, a critically endangered species. Highlights of my trip were numerous. We visited local wildlife conservation organizations, a secondary school and a village where we interacted with local people, experienced genuine African warmth and hospitality. I am most impressed by Dazzle Africa’s giving back projects that make a positive difference for the wildlife and local communities. You can find tens of thousands of safari tours at any given day across the African continent but not many are as committed to the philanthropic cause as Dazzle Africa. Safari with a purpose is what sets Dazzle Africa apart.

Highly professional operator with a heart for wildlife conservation
I am a repeat customer of Paul and have gone on safaris arranged by Paul a few times by now. I have different needs and requirement every time due to my budget, length of stay and other factors. Paul was patient and able to accommodate my requests every single time without any hassle. My husband and I visited the northern circuit and it was my husband's first safari. The package that Paul put together was the highlight of our life. Paul has years of experiences and wealth of knowledge on African wildlife and best safari destinations. What impresses me most is that while he is a safari tour operator by trade, he has a heart for wildlife conservation - as evidenced in his incredible wildlife photos on his social media platforms and his highly informative newsletters.

Great time. Reasonably priced.
Rajab was very responsive to all my inquires. I scheduled a two day trip for Kilimanjaro. When I asked about sleeping accommodations he sent pictures. Other companies offered the same trip at much higher prices. Adam, our driver, picked us up near the Kilimanjaro airport. Adam (same name ) our guide for the hike was great. Maximus, our cook, prepared excellent and delicious food. I highly recommend the two day trip over the one day. If you do the one day be prepared not to see Kilimanjaro. I have already recommended Rajatours to a friend.

Splendido Safari
In January I was with my family in Tanzania to spend a couple of weeks between Safari and the sea (Zanzibar). For the Safari, after a long search and selection of local agencies, I have chosen the AAA Express Adventure and I must say I did very well. The manager of the agency Jalala proved immediately helpful and competent, he patiently answered all my (many) questions before leaving and when we arrived he went out of his way to make this travel experience unique. I also might appreciate his organizational skills during a small mistake regarding a booking, solving the problem in a timely and smart way. Finally, I can only conclude this brief review by thanking our driver Emily who accompanied us throughout the Safari and who, with his experience and professionalism, has allowed us to live a dream. Thanks again Jalala !!!

Peter designed the perfect custom tour of Kenya and Tanzania for my family: Trip of a lifetime!
We worked with Peter to design a 10-day tour of 3 parks each in Kenya and Tanzania in late Oct / early Nov 2018. He helped select just the right type of camps and lodges that fitted our restricted budget and made us feel like we were living royally. All of the accommodations' staffs were welcoming, attentive and kind. Most of the food was buffet-style which enabled all of us to find things we liked to eat. Both of our drivers took great care of us -- especially at the border crossing from Kenya into Tanzania -- and communicated with other drivers to ensure we saw the best of the wildlife in each of the game reserves. For us it was a trip of a lifetime and I'm so very glad that we worked with Africa Flash McTours.

Great 2 week Safari with a super Guide, Livingston kept us informed of every detail and answered !
Everything was great during an almost year long planning process to the very end. Communication was perfect and the Safari spectacular and varied.
