Amazing 4 day safari
Loved Kruger National Park, we did a private tour with Wild Planet Safaris - definitely the way to do it in peak period December when the park is hot and where there are loads of locals on holidays. We had lots of flexibility regarding when we would start our game drives (hello 4am) to beat the rush to see animals. Our guides Ryan and Ben were fantastic and so knowledgeable, always managing to spot animals from a distance. We managed to spot all big 5, with the two leopards making appearances on our very last game drive. We stayed at the Berg en dal and skakuza rest camps which were very comfortable and well equipped. The food every day was varied and tasty.

An extra ordinary visit with amazing nature and wildlife!
We are wet happy with our trip. We stayed for 2 nights and everything was perfect. Good camp and food. The different activities were perfect. So peaceful to watch the sunset on the river with hippos and crocodiles just beside. The game drive was amazing and we saw so many species and had some extra ordinary moments when our guide found some more remote places with animals. We saw lions, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, hyena, African Wilddog, hippos and many different types of antiloups.
The walking tour was a good way to feel the nature and the smaller animals.
We are so happy with our journey!

A well thought and planned African experience
Our tour started in Johannesburg and went up through Kruger and Zimbabwe finishing at Victoria Falls
Our family 4 had a driver/spotter and chef/spotter throughout Kruger- with their expertise we saw everything and had great time. Zimbabwe we had one person doing both jobs - bar no electricity we had a ball. Highlights being walking with rhinos, matapo hills and close experiences with lion and leopard. Food better than expected.

Tima provided us with a personable, amazing experience! I felt like I gained an extended family.
Everything about Tima Tours was exceptional. I booked a trekking tour to Kilimanjaro and Hamza, the Tima Tour operator, was so responsive, kind, caring and just overall wonderful. So communications were exceptional and quick. Service during other tours I attended (spice tour, evening sailing, day lagoon and snorkeling) was also again personable, reliable and just overall great. I cannot say enough of how comfortable and cared for me and my group felt as a result of the excellent service. My expectations were exceeded and would recommend this tour company and specifically Hamza, our guide, with the highest ratings. Thank you for everything!

Thank you
We couldn’t be happier with fleet foot safari, they were great and easy to deal with, very professional. The itinerary that was really good, this was our first time in Africa and we really enjoyed our time. We got to spend time with Fleet Foot team for a couple of days while we were there and they were amazing people! We had a great time, tons of laughs, everyone was very personable. At the end of the trip, we didn’t only had a fantastic time, we also have also made some good friends, and hopefully we will get to see you guys again soon! Thank you so much for everything.

What an experience... waooohhhh !
In order to prepare our trip to Tanzania we had asked in English (we are french) several proposals/ estimates for a 6/7 days safari in the north to different specialised agencies based in Arusha and Dar Es Salaam. Paul was the first to answer, very reactive, he sent us a very detailed proposal with precise estimate and he sent us a message via WhatsApp to inform us that he answered : we appreciated this fast answer but we waited for other answers to finally decide... while waiting we asked Paul for some changes and number of questions : on the same fast way he adapted the schedule with new proposals to suit us better... we finally choosed to work with him, his project perfectly suiting us, he even proposed us a guide speaking french that we did’nt ask ! Once arrived we had confirmation that we made the good choice ! Paul in person and our guide, Kennedy, waited for us at the airport where we arrived from Selous In the south. Very positive first impression and then all went fantastic : Kennedy very soon showed a very interesting personality. He was attentive, very good company, he can speak also fluent English and Spanish. He is a prudent and very experienced driver On these difficult roads in the parks and reserves. He also informed us very well about wildlife and animals, but as well answered all our questions about the country itself, it’s lifestyle, economy, politics etc... he was flexible in the timings to suit us and in all circumstances had an expert eye to make us find animals when they were mostly hidden. All accommodations chosen by Paul, lodges and camps were different but all of them top in each style. Thanks to Paul and Kennedy our safari experience in north Tanzania was fascinating and perfectly satisfied our expectations. CONGRATULATIONS !

Amazing experience
We bought the Safari from home ( France) and were very happy of everything. We had what we were expected for and even more! Communication is good and quick with email from home. The Safari tour was amazing, nice guide/driver, comfortable Landrover, good food, comfortable accomodation. It was such a fantastic experience to camp ( having a big bed and a nice shower!) and to wake up with giraffes!). This company worked with hotels and camps of good quality and service.
A Safari in Tanzania is expensive but if you can afford it , it is worth to do it. The landscape is wonderful and there is so many animals..... It is an unique experience....

Fantastic Safari !!
We booked for 4 nights safari by Air as were worried about the road condition. We corresponded with Zippy who offered us Osero Tented Camp and Mara Serena. Both of those properties were awesome just as our guide Symo who kept us in stitches because of his humour. We couldn't have asked for a better company to use than Australken we called it PRONTO. We really recommend them.

Expert advice and planning leading to the Holiday of a lifetime.
We were recommended Zambezi Safari by a friend, and from the outset we had excellent communication. At the planning stage, every query was answered promptly and we had just the right amount of information. There were no disappointments and the reality was exactly as described. The three places where we stayed were all excellent, with first class service. We had two outstandingly good guides at Imbabala and Hwange ( the Hide), and our sightings of wildlife, from lions to cheetahs and giraffe with over 100 species of birds, were beyond our wildest dreams. We felt that the standards of the whole safari were extremely high due to the excellent taste and efficiency of the team at Zambezi Safari, and we would recommend the company without any reservations to anyone planning a safari.
