Really Best Memories
Our experience was truly Best Memories!
Isaac (the owner of the agency) organized 8 days of safari according to our needs. We needed to start the tour from Nairobi and end it directly in Watamu where we spent another week.
Isaac was one of the few who, adding a visit to Tsavo East to the program, took us directly to the sea without internal flights (generally safaris start and end in Nairobi).
We saw many beautiful parks (Masai Maara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East) and thanks to our excellent guide Patrick we managed to see all the animals!
The accommodations chosen were very nice, especially the tented camps.
We must give special thanks to our guide/driver Patrick who contributed, with his experience and professionalism, to making this experience unforgettable!
A tip: choose the sole tour in a Land Cruiser; the small extra charge is well worth it!
Isaac has always been available and quick in requests for information both in the organization phase and when we were in Kenya.
I highly recommend Best Memories Safari

A dream come true!
Qualified Tours Tanzania put together a wonderful safari. We did a two day safari including Negoronegoro and Tarangire. Our tour guide Lameck had a great knowledge of all wildlife including an African bird book to identify birds we weren’t sure on.
He spoke English, French and Italian.
All of the hotels, transfers and food were included so we just sat back and enjoyed our trip. Thanks Qualified Tours Tanzania!

Superb safari and much more
We visited South Africa for the third time this year having booked with Karina from Safari Online. After much personal research and some valuable advice from Karina we agreed our itinerary - 6 days safari in Klaserie (Baobab Ridge) and Sabi Sands (Arathusa Lodge) followed by 3 days whale watching in Hermanus. This proved to be a winning combination for us.
Our safari lodges were superb and we saw everything we wanted (the big five) and so much more. Spreading our safari across two difference reserves meant we had diverse but still thrilling experiences in each with such skilled guides. We were constantly impressed by their knowledge.
The rest of the staff in the lodges were equally welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
On thing that took us by surprise was the very changeable weather. Forecast to be very hot, it was infact unseasonably cold at one point then changing to being exceptionally hot - very unpredictable. My advice would be pack for every season!
We finished off our holiday with some time in Hermanus as it was whale season and despite our whale-watching boat trip being cancelled we still saw dozens of whales from the cliff path looking across Walker Bay. This was also a lovely base as it was a small town full of lovely restaurants and with easy access to wineries and vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley. We used the wine-hoppers hop-on hop-off tour. We finished our visit to SA with a couple of nights in Cape Town and went to Boulders Beach to see the penguins.
All in all we had a fabulous time and our holiday met all our expectations and the variety and quality of the food and wine we had was impressive. We've visited SA before and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Tanzania is an excellent country for a first timer in the African continent!
My experience in Tanzania was highlighted by my tour company, Suricata Tours, who were extremely attentive and professional. Not to mention the staff, who was friendly and on it! Amazing experience!
In Zanzibar, I encountered a very expensive reality. Many times the prices were charged in dollars, and more expensive than Europe or the US, which makes me think, they should pass a law to charge everything in shillings. It makes no sense to charge in dollars, if that is not the national currency.

Espectacular place with lovely people
We visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara (in that order) with Spirit of Kenya who did a superb job planning the trip and provided us with the best guide James who made sure we saw as much as possible. The parks, the views and the animals are amazing and the places to stay were beautiful. The people welcome tourists with open arms. I hope to go back and visit the coast and the north part of the country.

Kenya was amazing with very diverse wildlife including all the African animals and Birds.
Kenya was so beautiful. I am a wildlife photographer and this location blew me away. From the large number of elephants and lions to the elusive leopards. Hands down the best experience of my life and I will be back!

Amazing!!
Uganda Family tours were absolutely amazing!! Jackson was very professional and friendly and organised everything for us and made sure we had the best time. We did the three day Gorilla Trek tour which was fantastic and wish we had allowed for more time to explore Uganda. I would highly recommend Uganda Family tours to anymore and would definitely use them again for our next trip to Uganda.

Outstanding service and personal warmth
This trip was one of high expectations as a once in a lifetime trip for myself and two lifetime friends. The trip was postponed from 2019 due to Covid and Go Touch Down was extremely accommodating and understanding of the need to make these changes. We were not disappointed!!
My interaction with Angie and Yolanda were very easy and consistently responsive to my questions and plans as I was the coordinator for my friends. Upon arrival in Johannesburg, and after a pleasant stay at the City Lodge Hotel,, we were met with the most engaging gentleman, James, our escort during the Safari part of this trip. James was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area giving us an air of confidence and comfort as we began this adventure.
Once at the Tshukudu
Bush Camp we enjoyed wonderful meals, including their catering to my special vegetarian request. Not only was the presentation lovely and food delicious, the service staff were just a delight.
As we ventured out on safari Tyler, our Safari guide at the camp, and at the Kruger National Park was incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly loved his work as he expressed enthusiasm for the conservation efforts, and the mission of the preservation and health of these majestic animals. We were able to see all of the big five animals as well as a wide variety of other wildlife.
As we traveled to Cape Town we met a new escort, Chris, In the same spirit as we had been enjoying, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He provided a wonderful escort throughout the city of Cape Town, and into the breathtaking wine country and coastal areas. Our stay at the Stillness Manor reminded me a little bit of the lushness of the beautiful stay we initially encountered at the equestrian center. The Manor is stately as it sits on a hill overlooking Cape Town, which was absolutely beautiful in the evenings with the moon shining over it.
Not to be disappointed, we found the food, exceptional and the service equivalent to any fine restaurant. The chef was very kind in greeting us and asking if he could make any special provisions and once again, my vegetarian request were wonderfully fulfilled.
The service staff were so very pleasant and attentive. We grew quite fond of them all, especially Rachel. As our time drew to a close, we all felt a little sad as we headed to the airport, but thrilled to have experienced the magic of this enchanting country with hopes that perhaps some day, once again, we may travel this path.
