Simply perfect
We just returned from a wonderful safari with Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions.
We booked the 14-day Kalahari & Wetlands tour. Even though this is a tour for a small group, it was possible to adapt the program according to our wishes. In the end, we had almost the full duration of the tour as private tour which was very nice.
The communication with Monametsi (and also the guide during the tour) was very good. In the months before the safari we were in contact by e-mail and phone. On the time of booking I requested - if possible - to book quiet campsites, preferably not the public ones. We indeed stayed on very beautiful campsites, most of them very secluded and private (BOGA sites). When we arrived in Maun, Monametsi came to our hotel to meet and he came again and introduced the guide to us the night before we left for our safari.
Our impression was that Moonstroll is a reliable, trustworthy and very friendly company.
We had an amazing experience with our guide OK, the cook DT and camp assistent Paku.
The car and camping equipment was all in very good order. The cooking was amazing, varying and very tasty: soups, pizza, fresh muffins, beef fillet (Botswana has wonderful meat), stews, filled meat pies, but also lots of fresh salads and vegetables etc. - and all prepared on a wood fire. Also, everything was prepared very hygienically and clean - we did not experience any health problems.
The game drives were amazing. Our guide OK went above and beyond to show us as much as possible. I would strongly recommend to stay at least 2 nights at each campsite. We did and had wonderful and very extensive game drives. We saw a cheetah kill a springbok and then call her 3 cubs to eat. We saw leopards three times, many, many times lions (also with cubs, once attacking a hippo on land), had wonderful sightings of elephants, buffalo, giraffes, many different antilopes etc. Since we indicated that we are also interested in birds, OK also always took the time to show us birds. We could always stop and take as much time as we wanted to watch.
OK is a very experienced guide (23 years of guiding), he knows all the beautiful spots and many other guides. This also increases the chance of sightings and beautiful views. He always considered which angle (light) would be good for photography and tried to stop such that our position would be optimal. Also, he is a very responsible guide who truly loves and respects nature. He can answer any question about wildlife. We felt like being inside a documentary film, something we never expected before.
Besides the wonderful trip that we had, we are happy that our money went directly to a local operator and local people.
All in all, I can fully and whole-heartedly recommend Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions.

Excellent service! Elida Tours and Safaris were our guides to Lake Nakuru National Park and Nairobi
David and his team do wonderful work. Elida Tours and Safaris served as our guides to Lake Nakuru National Park and around Nairobi. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and dependable. They have served the needs of our teams for many years. I highly recommend Elida Tours and Safaris for anyone traveling to this area. David always provides great service with a smile!

Personal touch is important
We had been planning this trip for the best part of a year all little details were taken care of and properties and experiences were overall fantastic. A daily call from the office in Arusha made us feel very comfortable and secure and the birthday cake at Lemala was an awesome surprise. We shall to return and when we do we will book with you again.

Akuna Matata. Perfect trip with a perfect guide.
Our stay in Kenia and Tanzania was an unforgettable experience. We took ride games in Amboseli, Massai Mara, Nukuru, Serengetti and Ngorogoro. Seth prepared every single thing we asked for in a very careful way and was always in touch with us so that the trip was perfect. Allan, our driver and guide, was nice, helpful and did every possible thing so that we were comfortable and could see all the animals possible. He even prepared a few unforgetful "surprises" and dealt with all of them very efficiently. We saw leopards, lions, buffalos, rhinos, hippos, elephants, zebras, and many more mammals and birds. He gave us all sorts of explanations and looked after us as if we were his family. I'm sure we couldn't find a better one. Kalvin, the cook, was also very supportive and looked after one member of our group when he was not feeling well. The driver in Tanzania, Goody, was also excellent. He did every single thing we asked for. He was an expert on safaris and helped us reached all sites we look for. He explained to us all the mammals characteristics, their habits, etc. The cook, also named Goody, was really really good. I'm sure he has taken a lot of cooking courses as he surprised us with delicious meals. He did his best to cook what we liked (banana cake, quiche, and many delicatessen).
In short, we could not have a better stay. Thanks Seth, Allan, Goody, Goody and Kalvin. You are a great team.

Amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip
Our large group traveled through the Safari with Wild Gaze. We had a great time camping and looking at the various animals. The guides were really informative about the park and all the animals we encountered!

quick and efficient responses to requests
I made my initial contact with Flash Safaris through Safari Bookings. Once contact was made Henry, the sales rep made a very special effort to answer the very many questions I asked about the Safari, travel, payment, and all possible variations on the tour by phone and messages. He was particularly patient with my requests and demands.
Henry reassured us throughout this process and we ended up with a spectacular tour of Southern Tanzania.
