Suricata , seamless organisation with a smile.
Suricata Safari ( means Meerkat) were able to create the trip we wanted with the dates and budget we had. Communication was swift and efficient. We had opted for a mid-range price bracket but the accommodation exceeded expectations. Especially their Boma Suricata lodge. Star of the show wasn’t any of the Big 5 which we were able to see, but our driver and guide Max. With warmth and great Tanzanian charm, he drove with skill and somehow managed to find these elusive animals Max guarded us rather like the Meerkat, always vigilant making sure we were all having the best experience ever.

Misleading and Bad Organisation
My experience of Mousebird Safaris is not great. I booked a shared - mid range safari package - 4 nights 5 days. After sending the deposit "to secure the accommodation" a month prior to the trip - I did not hear back from the company until I arrived in Arusha. Gift came to my home to collect the rest of the payment the night before being picked up by Samuel our driver the next morning. The other 5 in the vehicle I would find out later were on different itineraries. After the first day I was told my accommodation had changed as the other people were in different m and mine was too far away. I was put in a different vehicle at the gate of the first Park to be given a lift to the first nights accommodation. Next morning I was picked up and we made our way to Serengeti. I was again told that ,y accommodation for night 2 was again different to what I had booked due to the distances between the groups' accommodation. Night 3 was in the camp I had booked. However day 4 in Ngorongoro Crater was cut short and we were heading out of the park at noon as the rest of the group were on 3 night 4 day itineraries and were due back in Arusha (with a family of 3 flying from JRO that evening ) So I lost 1/2 a day of Safari ( not to mention the hours lost driving around on a morning to the other accommodations. ) The final night was in my booked lodge as advertised and Gift came to the Lodge with another driver for my last day in Manyara.
On return to Arusha I informed Gift about my displeasure at losing so much time - especially in Ngorongoro as it was wonderful there. No attempt to reimburse me was made for the lost time and changes to accommodation.
A hugely disappointing experience as it was my first time on Safari and first time in Africa.
The time in the vehicle with Samuel ( the driver ) and the other travellers was great and we saw lots of wildlife - but the whole experience was affected by the poor organisation.

The very best..nothing is too much to ask.
Africa Magic Holidays with Lazaro and his fabulous team provide the best you can ask for in a holiday. He works with any budget and provides great options. Friendly and fun and helpful are part if the deal. We have used his services many times. We highly recommend...if you use the company you will not be disappointed. We keep going back.

Great company, would recommend
My wife and I went on the 6 Day Honeymoon Safari in Tanzania in October 2023 with Joagro Safaris. We had an absolutely brilliant time, our guide was Anwar who was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We saw all the animals that we wanted to see and Anwar always made sure we got in good positions for photographs. The accommodation was great throughout the stay, as well as the food. The staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout. We would definitely recommend this company, it all ran very smoothly and the itinerary and timings were stuck to impeccably thanks to Anwar.

Amazing safari through 3 countries
Kubwa 5 did an amazing job planning our safari vacation. We had them arrange a 7 day trip through Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe that had a variety of activities from game drives, river cruises, quad biking, and more. Everything that they planned went super smoothly and all of the places we stayed were great! Kubwa 5 went above and beyond when our flight to Africa was cancelled and rebooked to a day later by rebooking all of hotels and activities to accommodate our unexpected change in plans. We were still able to experience our trip originally as planned thanks to their quick action to help us. We would definitely book with them again.

Wonderful trip to Namibia!
My husband and I had a wonderful 10 days trip to Namibia, way beyond our expectations.
Namibia is such a beautiful country with a fantastic landscape and wonderful wildlife.
We did the circuit from Windhoek, via Etosha, Twyfelfontein, Swakopmund, Sossusvlei and back to Windhoek.
We thank Nature Travel Namibia for all the planed itinerary that made possible for us to experience so much of your great country.
Our agent Amber answered very quickly to all our e-mails and tailor made the itinerary based on our requests. All worked perfectly. The accommodation was most of the times very good - only one too rustic, and the food was excellent.
Above all our guide Delano was exceptional, we enjoyed so much his company and experience. In Etosha he put a lot a effort to show us a lot of waterholes full of animals, such as giraffes, elephant and zebras. In Damaraland we drove in a dry river bed looking for elephants, it was very fun. We could be very close to these wonderful animals.
In Sossusvlei we also had a wonderful and fun experience, the dunes are truly amazing and breathtaking.
The three of us climbed the big daddy and was so much fun.
We would highly recommend NTN for this memorable experience.

Efficient, Safe, Quality, Enjoyable, Friendly, Responsive
We had an excellent experience with Msangai Adventures. First of all, we only had 2 days to do the safari and even with just limited time, Eric, the owner was able to make it happen for us and more. We never expected to see alot of animals in just a small window of time. Jovin and George were our Game drivers and they were awesom. Very efficient in locating the animals. They were very knowledgeable and experienced with the terrain , it was mind blowing to see them drive those stick shift land rovers. We were able to see the Big 4 and more because of these guys. We were able to reach pur respective hotels safely. Highly recommended company, owner and guides. Asante Sana!

Great safari experience
My partner and I went for the 3 days safari + Ngorogoro and we truly enjoyed the experience thanks to Safari Soles. Everything was so smoothly organized, delicious lunches and lodges with top views. Also, while planning our trip I had so many questions which Raphael was always super happy to answer to. Last but not least, our tour guide Oscar- great guy, who we had good laughs with, very knowledgeable of his job and always on point to spot more animals for us to see. We can highly recommend Safari Soles! :))

We loved Mjejane Game Reserv.
I think the headline says it all. Go there and experience the wildlife yourself. You will not be disappointed.
