AVOID !!! .... you must pay a deposit and then he runs away with your money and no safari !!!
in the beginning (before payment deposit) , he answers very quickly .. everything looks okay, but 2 weeks before start, you can't reach him anymore..
we paid already a deposit of 2.000 € and never see it back...
nothing was booked (no car, no lodges) .. so bye bye safari
please don't book this touroperator ... he is a swindler

Friendly, efficient and very helpful in all aspects of organising our safari in Botswana.
Right from the initial enquiry we were given useful advice on the type of trip to do in Botswana in February, the booking was handled efficiently, and all contact was of a friendly and courteous nature. We had some issues with our international flights, but our consultant (Judy Burrows) helped us to resolve these despite not having been involved in the booking process. The safari itself ran very smoothly, from being met off our flight and assisted through the airport in Maun by representatives of the charter flight company (Moremi), through all the transfers between camps, and a final meet and transfer to our hotel at the end of our trip. The camps were all of an excellent standard, and we had many memorable sightings of animals and birds. The guides were very knowledgeable and skilled at tracking predators in particular. The food was excellent, and rooms comfortable and clean. It was good to see that the safari company (Kwando) employed mainly local people at all levels including management, and the inclusion of a short session of singing and dancing by camp staff before dinner one night was a highlight of the holiday. I would definitely use Discover Africa again for future trips.

Machame 7 day
Great experience. There were no surprises. Wilfred was a great guide. He prepared me well for the final push and in the end I felt satisfied. Communications prior to the tour were adequate and I got what I needed. The guide came to my hotel the night before and made a list of items I needed and the following morning I was given the items. The trek itself ran smoothly and my trust in the guide and his professionalism ensured my success.

Wonderful day trip to Addo!
Very easy to book the excursion and communication about pick up and the trip details was excellent. Our guide Lonwabo was very nice and had very good knowledge of both the animals and the plants in the preserve. We saw a lot of different animals at very close range. An excellent day!

Seen amazing things in a very short timeframe! Great company for sure!!!
This was a dream trip for our 4 people group, and we started planning almost a year ago. After I go through few Tanzania safari company's website reviews, I started contacted MANGIEMPIRE Safari Company. Immediately, I knew that this company listened to my questions, concerns and desires. Nova was our contact and she quickly responded to every question and gave expert suggestions and advice. He gave some suggestions routes and accommodation suits for our age group. The 4 x 4 vehicle are very clean and roomy, there are plenty room for 4 of us share. There is a fridge in car with plenty bottle water and soft drink free of charge. Our driver was very friendly, funny and helpful, their animal, birds, plants knowledge can answer all our questions. They seems know every inch land of Serengeti and where is certain animals living or hide from. They got inconceivable eyes can find long distance animals even hide in grass. We are luck to see all big five even saw a leopard took a springbok claim up to 10 metre tree. We saw many times of different lions, elephants, giraffe groups in deferent location. It is a wonderfull trip. I am highly recommending MangiEmpire Safari tour, it is a very reliable company..

Spirit of Kenya is reliable and accommodating for a perfect adventure.
Vanessa helped plan our entire safari vacation. She responded to every email within 24 hours. We had many questions, requests, and customizations for this trip and Spirit of Kenya delivered. All activities and accommodations we wanted for our safari were included making for a full itinerary of all experiences we sought after. Communication and organization is top notch. I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya because all of the thinking and planning was taken care of so we could focus in the upcoming trip.

Unbelievable experience and joy!!!
The trip was absolutely amazing, it was beyond our expectations. We did the 8 day trip in Uganda, with gorilla trekking and words cannot describe the feeling when you see all these beautiful animals up so close! the booking process was nice and easy, Hedmond was great help and gave us lots of tips and alternatives in terms of things we want to see and do, and where we want to stay. the actual tour was amazing, our guide Derrick was excellent, very warm and friendly, his passion for wildlife was amazing and it showed though his knowledge of all the animals and birds, he stopped the car when he saw something we didnt or missed, and tell us exactly what it was and about it, he literally knew everything we asked and much more, and he was a funny guy to be with! Most of the accommodation the tour group offer were unreal, the lodges in some of these places are just amazing as the views were something else!
10 out of 10 for me. Best trip I have been on. I would highly recommend this tour group, and Derrick our guide as it was be a nice and easy process based on your needs and wants for the trip, and you will have such an amazing time on the tour with him! Thanks again!!

Unique experience, which exceeded our expectations!
We did the 4-Day Magnificent Lake Nakuru Masai Mara Luxury Safari.
Everything went perfectly, we were picked up by our driver Tom at the hotel and received an introduction to the upcoming days.
Tom was a very sympathetic type, where you immediately felt comfortable and safe.
The driving distances were long, but with the safari jeep 4x4 land cruiser it was still comfortable. This car was the right decision and we're glad we didn't take the cheaper van. He always made enough stops so that we could eat and drink and go to the toilet.
Thanks to Tom, that we saw many animals at game drive, because he was in constant contact with other drivers who were looking for animals. In addition, Tom knows almost everyone in Africa^^, what was the reason we saw many animals. Tom also knew a lot about the animals and the country and was therefore able to tell very interesting things. On the previous evening, he always reported on the course of the next day, so we always knew what was going on. We really appreciated, that Tom was a very experienced driver, who knew good places and went out of his way to show us as much as possible.
At the end of the safari, we were unloaded safely at the hotel with many unforgettable impressions.
The whole organization with the accommodations worked very well. The Cliff Nakuru was one of the nicest hotel we have ever been to. Also the Sarova Mara Game Camp was very nice.
With all the people we had contact with, they were always friendly and ready to help. The entire food was always good and it was always checked that we had enough water on the safari.
In summary, it was a unique experience, which exceeded our expectations.
Many thanks to Esther, who gave us a good feeling for the organization with constant email contact in advance and to the driver Tom, who did an extraordinary job.
We will never forget this trip! Thank you for everything.

Memorable Gorillas, Chimps and Water Safari
My wife and I visited Kibale, Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi National Parks for the Gorillas, Chimps and Water safari with Devine African Safaris. We had an amazing time with Herbert our driver and guide. He was friendly and well informed about everything that was happening during the safari. The mix of game drives, boat safari and trekking was great fun taking in different experiences. Accommodation at the lodges was relaxing and they served nice dishes even for vegetarians like us. I recommend Devine fully and request for Herbert to guide your safari.

Amazing Tour!
Mufasa Tours and Travels was great from the start. Joseph was very attentive to our needs and helped us plan an amazing 3 day tour just as we envisioned. Our tour guide Joe was great! Whatever questions we had about the game drives, lounging, and tour overall he was able to answer. Very knowledgable. I would recommend this tour if you are looking for a fun, safe, hospitable experience
