Very accommodating and the reason behind the incredible experience we all had.
From start to finish, Skylane Safaris exceeding our expectations. We are forever grateful for the guidance and once in a lifetime trip we were all so lucky to be apart of. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

Perfect!
We did a shared 4 day Safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The organization was perfect. Our guide - Lewis was very well informed about the different animals and the national parks we visited. He could answer every question we had as well. The chef made us pancakes at 5:30 am! That’s what I call kindness! After the trip they helped us buy bus tickets to Dar es Salaam and also organized the transfer to the bus station from the hotel. All in all an unforgettable memory and experience. Thank you Lewis and Hilary!

The best thing that happened to us!
African Polecat Safaris is highly recommended by our family. This is the best company in Arusha. Everything was organized at the highest level, at the best price.
Our safari took place from Ngorongoro and Tarangire. We managed to see all the animals, and even the lioness hunt, which happens rather infrequently, our guide Lucas helped us with this. Lucas - you are the best guide, thank you! The hotels we stayed in are pretty good. It is worth noting fill tree lodge and his entire team - they are very responsive and kind people, we will definitely come back to you.
If we are in Tanzania again, we will go on a safari only with your company. Thank you so much!

They truly showed us that Uganda is the pearl of Africa.
When my sister and I wanted to book a last-minute safari (literally a month before), this safari company was more than willing to help us and host us for six days. They are extremely well organized, and they took care of all plans for the safari to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest including our gorilla licenses for tracking, accommodation, all food, all transport to and from the airport and different parks. They are also staffed with the nicest team members.
Our personal guide Steven was amazing, driving us from location to location, describing the landscape and history of the country and its contents, and making sure we were happy and satisfied during our six-day excursion.
My sister and I particularly enjoy being active, and although a large part of the safari is in the car, Steven made sure that we had beautiful game views during the game drives.
When we said we loved getting up early to watch the beautiful sunrise, he made sure that we did it the next day as well, and because he is an expert safari tracker, we got to see lions that morning as well.
The places we stayed were lovely and quaint with fantastic food, but what made the experiences were the staff at each lodge. They made us wonderful meals and made sure we had everything we needed to have a more than comfortable night.
Overall, 3 Days and 2 nights in Queen Elizabeth National Park plus 2 nights in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest surpassed our expectations, as did the activities. Tracking both chimps and gorillas was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.
Uganda has such beautiful scenery and wildlife that I was never bored even being in the car for 1-5 hours. They truly showed us that Uganda is the pearl of Africa.

The Pearl of Africa together with the best tour guide ever!
One of the most beautiful vacations that we've ever had!
We booked a 10-day tour including gamedrives and boatrides at Murchinson Falls, Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo NP as well as chimpazee and gorilla trekking in Kibale and Bwindi forest and added also a boat ride at lake Bunyoni and a river rafting tour in Jinja.
Ronald is just the perfect guide - he has a broad knowledge about nature and wildlife, a lot of experience with international tourists and is such a lovely person to have around! He helped us to find all of the animals that we wished to see (even leopards and tree-climbing lions) and organised everything that we needed including a last-minute covid test. It was very hard to say goodbye in the end...
Uganda itself is indeed the Pearl of Africa and if we had had more time, we would have loved to stay for at least three or four weeks. So we'll definetely be back to go hiking in the Rwenzori Mountains and also see the Northern and Eastern part of the country.
Don't hesistate to book your tour with Kajie Safaris!

Resourceful, helpful and very pleasant.
The tour guide was Jacob. He was very helpful and seemed to be very familiar with the locations to sight the games. He is very warm and very knowledgeable about the games reserve. The planning was on point and we were very comfortable. We did not worry about anything. The communications were very clear, we knew what we need to do, where to meet and how to enjoy ourselves. The cost was well worth it and I will certainly like to do this again in the near future.

Super friendly and knowledgeable guys
We stayed a night with the guys at African Bushlovers Hide Inn Campsite in Maun, Botswana. They are still finishing a few things off, but are really nice, considerate and accommodating. Their knowledge of animal species etc is very impressive. We really enjoyed the visiting bush baby that comes most days in the late afternoon/evening.

Best safari with the most knowledgeable tour guide.
Aroni was our guide at the Masai Mara safari and I can’t tell you enough about how amazing he was. He knew everything about the reserve, the people, animals and Kenya in general. He drove well, made sure we were safe and showed us around each day of the tour. If you do book your tour with Karibu safari, please ask for Aroni.

Rose was absolutely the most professional, efficient and thorough organizer we could have hoped for.
My husband, sister, brother-in-law and I just returned from an amazing 14 day African experience. We contacted a number of safari companies asking for a proposed itinerary and cost breakdown as we were unsure as to where we should go and what to expect. Rose Hipwood came back with the most exciting and thorough proposal of all and after reading the reviews on Luxury Safaris and Rose, we decided to go with this company.
Our trip was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. If someone was supposed to meet us, they were there. If a plane, jeep or boat was to transport us from one place to another, they were there. We had excellent accommodations at all three camps including friendly staff, delicious meals and cocktails, experienced guides and drivers.....it could not have been better.
Throughout the planning process, Rose was ALWAYS available and responsive to our questions and concerns and helped guide us through the travel challenges we were presented with due to the COVID pandemic.
We would all highly recommend Rose and Luxury Safaris to anyone interested in visiting this amazing country. We experienced fantastic adventures which provided us with memories that will last a lifetime.

Extraordinary service
5 Stars Safari tops almost everything we have experienced yet in 15 years of intense travelling the world. Owner Mandy Strauss provided for our 26-days-trip through Namibia an extraordinary service: 1. Before the trip: Responding within 24 hours at least, being very transparent about her moves on our behalf and about quotes of lodges or flight services, knowing REALLY a lot of people in Namibia (she is a former journalist), listening carefully to every single wish of ours, answering to ANY kind of questions and comments we had, having been as flexible and fair as possible to adapt her pre-Corona payment conditions to the accurate situation. 2. During the trip: having prepared a charming welcome gift (a cook book) and a VIP welcome with a guy from the Namibian ministry of tourism for us, staying in constant touch with our overwhelmingly caring driver/guide Mr. Andrew throughout the trip and being available almost around the clock.
This was professionalism at its best - it was a pleasure to be her clients. Beside that Namibia appears to be currently the better South Africa: beautiful sceneries, excellent food, kind people, animals, BUT no rivalries between the tribes and no tensions between Blacks and the descendants of German and Dutch immigrants. For German speaking tourists Namibia offers also a surprisingly big foot print of the German culture: buildings, shops, farms, restaurants, cleanliness on the roads, safety even in towns. THANK YOU! We do want to come again.
