Great 5-day tour in NP Mikumi & Selous
We booked a tour with GoingGreen Safari and were totaly amazed! We did a 5-day trip to NP Selous and Mikumi.
From the first moment on it was very well organised (fast email responsiveness, adaptability to our requests, early pick-up on time).
Our local guide (Lenard) was friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife in both national parks.
He was also extremely patient and stopped anytime we felt like taking pictures or just observing the animals of any kind (elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos, monkeys, antilopes, etc).
The accommodation (bungalows, hotels) were far better than we expected, with delicious food and a great focus on the clients.
The whole safari trip was beyond our expectations and I do not hesistate to recommend Lenard and his tours further.

Professional, responsible, reliable, with a great itinerary and lodgings.
Four days from morning to night in a car driving for hours, and never a dull moment - wonderful wildlife, beautiful scenery, and a great guide, who spoke from long experience and with great knowledge and wisdom about every possible topic - the land, the animals, the culture, history, politics, etc. The arrangements were perfect, and the company was reliable - everything was as described, but truly, the guide made the trip. And the picnic lunches (I'm still craving that chicken).

A great tour guide and well-organized safari
The communication and planning before the safari was excellent. Customer service was very responsive. The tour was well executed and we were very fortunate to see a great number of animals in their natural habitat. There was ample flexibility in the program where needed, and Arun, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and hospitable (great cook!). The accommodations were excellent and, overall, a wonderful experience! Highly recommended....

We asked them to book a trip of a lifetime and they did!!
We communicated with Wayfairer about our hopes for a trip to Africa. They planned out a trip and with a little back and forth we got exactly what we had hoped and more. They had some great suggestions for things to do and places to stay. The safari was at Lake Manz and was incredible, as was our accommodation at Chole Mjini and in Zanzibar. Over all I would love to travel with Wayfairer again.

I enjoyed it so much. It was my first time in Africa and our drivers were so patient, informative and fun to be around. I recommend using them on your trip.

Amazing service, fast response, knowledgeable guide and wonderful safari at the amazing Zebra Plains
First, the service was excellent as Chris was very fast to respond to our several questions. We reserved just few days before going on this 3 days 2 nights safari in the Masai Mara. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience! Our guide Josh was excellent and very knowledgeable about the wildlife, their ecology, as well as the Masai culture. We visited a Masai village, did a walking safari, and saw so many species during our short stay. We stayed at the Zebra Plains Collection Camp, which was a truly wonderful place to stay, with an amazing staff and dreamy location. I wish to come back one day. Thank you. Asante Sana!

Amazing
Our recently concluded Jhalana and Ranthambore trip was a revelation. We can, at best, describe ourselves as wild life enthusiasts. Over the last nearly 10 years we have made several visits to the national parks all across India . This January we also visited Tadoba.
But the experience we had on this occasion was absolutely unique and unparalleled. A couple of enthusiasts transformed to semi experts in a few days.
We were a team of 6 including Dr. Saumitra Chatterjee who was not only our team leader, but organised our whole programme meticulously under the auspicies of Just Travels, the agency, which he is an integral part of. Our Tadoba trip was also organised by him and Just Travels. Tadoba was also an immensely successful trip and when he offered us to join him for this trip we never had any second thoughts but to agree wholeheartedly.
We have had mixed luck with tigers, prior to this, in our previous jungle jaunts. However having visited quite a few safaris we realise that visiting the jungle is not only about tiger viewing but it definitely does provide an 'icing on the cake'. Besides we never had any prior experience of seeing a leopard in the wild, as well.
A prequel of fascinating anecdotes of the tigers of Ramthambore and leopards of Jhalana definitely whetted our appetite. And when this was followed up with the most enthralling tiger and leopard watching spectacle, it left us spellbound. In total we saw three female leopards in Jhalana and two male adolescent tigers within shake hand distance and for what seemed an eternity. The radiant appearance of the descendants of the tigers, whose stories previously mesmerised us, now left us riveted. An aerial view of two other cubs in one of our other safaris completed our fascinating tiger viewing.
There were so many firsts. This is the first time we saw leopards, a sloth bear and a hyena in the wild.We never had a dull moment. The visit to the gorgeous Ranthambore fort added variety and another dimension to our trip.
We would like to, once again, thank Dr. Chatterjee and Just Travels for one of the most refreshing and dynamic 5 days of our life.
Would strongly recommend other wild life enthusiasts to consider Just Travels to arrange their next safari trip. I am sure it will be a special experience to cherish.

Right from the first email was amazing.
Everything was really perfectly arranged, all transfers were on time and we were welcomed at the reception desks.
We liked chosen accommodation very much and order of our route was also well thought out.
We appreciate all efforts and the result:)!

Unforgettable experience tracking the gorillas in Bwindi
The communication was excellent. We had limited time in Uganda, Grassrootz was able to put together a mini-safari in which we were able to track the gorillas in Bwindi. Very happy with the programme as advised and organised by Grassrootz.
