amazing tour of soweto
MoAfrika tours was such a lucky experience. We were able to plan it all in the same day and it was stress free. The tour picks you up from your hotel and even drops you off at the end of it all. The actual tour itself is amazing and we were able to truly connect as our guide was from Soweto. He was full of energy and optimism and it was so cool to see someone with so much passion and loyalty to their home township. As their are a few museums on the tour double check which day you’re going and if the museums are open. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see and learn more about such a history filled area.

Exceptional experience working with Alex from Extraordinary Africa
I had a vision for what a family trip to South Africa could be and Alex from Extraordinary Africa managed to exceed every possible expectation. She went to great lengths to understand our budget, desired locations, trip timing and "must haves" including avoiding small planes while traveling to a luxury Safari location (my wife is afraid to fly!). This trip checked every box imaginable and I couldn't be happier with the service level and attention to detail from Alex. The absolute highlight of the trip was our stay at Rockfig Safari Lodge. Alex recommended them for a high end Safari experience and every possible detail was managed for us. We traveled to Cape Town, the Timbavalti area of the Kruger National Park and Johannesburg. All three legs of the trip felt like mini-vacations; each with their own highlights. I could not be happier with the experience. Not only would I use Alex again my family and I would return to Rockfig in a heartbeat. Love everyone there!

Rich in landscapes, wildlife, cultures, hospitality, but suffers poverty, drought, and corruption.
As a four-member family we booked 2 weeks safari and one week Diani Beach south of Mombasa. Both my wife and I had been in Kenya before, decades ago. Kenya has changed, but not as much as we had expected. True, Nairobi is much bigger and more dangerous, but the countryside, the towns don't seem so different. The tour operators, Best Memory, were very friendly and professional, met us at the airport to take us to the hotel.
It was surprisingly cool throughout our safari, it being technically 'winter' there, but quite a bit warmer near Mombasa.
The safari, conducted by the very sympathetic and knowledgeable driver Patrick, went through the most notable parks and a stimulating change of scenery and lodges/camps. Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru were great, Amboseli and Tsavo East a bit disappointing because there were few animals due to the bad drought there. On the whole there seemed to be fewer animals, which is not surprising. Still, we saw almost everything there was to see, except for a leopard. And we were exposed particularly to the fascinating Masai culture. We did learn to check the exchange rates carefully and haggle at the souvenir shops along the way.
The final week at the Baobab resort at Diani Beach was all-inclusive, very nice, we were spoiled. The monkeys were a constant interest for the children but they could quickly grab a sandwich out of your hand. Water and pools were a nice temperature and the food good. There was nightly live entertainment in an amphitheatre by a well-trained troupe called the Jambo Team.
We left on election day. Campaigns were obviously well-funded. Everyone was hoping there would be no violence but they didn't believe a change in leadership would bring about any meaningful change to widespread poverty and corruption. It is a fascinating country with great but yet unrealised potential. well worth a visit.

Amazing and breathtaking
We had an amazing safari, it was even better than we expected, we went back to childhood. Such a wonderful experience to see all these animals in their natural environment. We chose Meruslopes for the tour and we were super happy with our choice.

Stellar, five star safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti!
This safari was FIVE STARS, hands down! We spotted all of the animals we’d hoped to see — lions, hippos, zebra, giraffes, leopards, etc, but also very rare animals including two black rhinos and even a caracal cat! However, it was the amazing dialogue with our guide/driver Amani that made this safari so enjoyable.
Amani was absolutely phenomenal! With over 15 years of tour experience, he proved to have a wealth of knowledge. Amani was extremely flexible and a pleasure to be on tour with - he shared so much information on the flora and fauna, but also about local culture and context. He was patient and answered our never-ending questions about the animals and their behaviours. Importantly, he was a skilled and safe driver, even under the sometimes challenging conditions of fog, and bumpy and dusty roads. Amani was well-known and clearly respected by other tour operators in the parks: others were very friendly with him, and we even heard a few specifically call out to him by name with tips over the CB radio. Amani also respected and upheld the rules of the parks, showing his deep respect for conservation and wild animal welfare.
Communicating with Ernest and David was very easy, and they were both quick to respond. The lodges were clean and as described, and the 'Intimate Tented Lodge' in the Serengeti National Park was particularly luxurious!
Would absolutely recommend!
