Spectacular!
EVERYTHING about this trip was PERFECT! From the very moment we decided to book this trip with Endless Summer, to the very end of the tour, everything was just perfect. Rhys, was the deciding factor in us choosing Endless Summer Tours. Very quick initial response, very professional and very accommodating as well. We had a few changes after the initial reservation and Rhys was more than happy to help. When we were picked up in Johannesburg by Steve and Leon, they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about informing us on what we can expect during our visit to Kruger Park. Also, since it was our first visit to the park and not knowing what to expect, we felt reassured that we were in good hands with Steve and Leon. They made sure we were comfortable in our accommodations and during our game drives. During our visit to Kruger, the daily meals prepared by Steve and Leon were scrumptious. (Even catered to a few vegetarians in our group) Dinners were a fun time to discuss and share our sightings and pics of the day with them. Their knowledge and insights into our sightings was second to none. I would absolutely recommend Endless Summer Tours to everyone. Their knowledge, experience, and overall hospitality is second to none. THANK YOU guys for making this trip the UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE of a lifetime.

Excellent trip, exceptionally well organised and looked after!
With Rose's incredible knowledge, thought and attentiveness we had the most magical honeymoon in the hands of the Luxury Safari Company. Despite an unforeseen 4 hour plane delay from Heathrow, Rose was quick to assess and resolve the situation to ensure we could catch a connecting flight, coordinating the team on the ground, and as promised by Rose, still make it to the bush before sundown! We were meticulously looked after every step of the way, I barely had to think! It really made our honeymoon one to remember and gave us the chance to relax to the full knowing the Luxury Safari Company were on top of everything. I highly recommend 'Off Beat Safari' in the Masai and Matawme lodge in Zanzibar.Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip!

Perfect and excellent African experience
We just returned from a 7-day trip with Asili Explorer Safaris, and wanted to post a review. We had difficulty finding a safari that would allow children, as we were two families with kids ranging from 5-16. What luck to get in touch with Asili! They were extremely professional, always quick with replies and informative emails on packing suggestions, documentation, etc. The trip was so enjoyable and stress free, as they thought of everything, and all transfers went off seamlessly.
We spent 2 nights in a tented camp at Ngorongoro, 4 nights at the lovely Tented Lodge near Seronera in Serengeti and 1 night at Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha. It was a perfect mix with excellent game viewing. Thanks Asili Explorer!

Great Tanzanian Adventure
Wayfairer Travel set up a wonderful trip for me to sister lodges Lake Manze and Madonya Old River on the southern circuit and flights with Coastal Aviation. From booking to the last flight back to Dar Es Salaam every minute was first class. Pre-trip service by Wayfairer was super and both lodges, game drives and flights exceeded my every expectation. Trip of a lifetime!!

Excellent tour company
I chose to go with Top Creams because they were the most organised and responsive company. Erastus was easily in touch throughout and regularly checked in to make sure we were enjoying our safari. We had an amazing time and would recommend this company to anyone looking to do a safari

An unforgettable fortnight in Botswana closer to nature than I have ever been
We were a family group of 6 adults. The whole holiday was planned with our requests and needs in mind. Every lodge that we stayed in was of a very high standard, but the highlight for me was the set up of the mobile safari camps. I loved everything about them from the exceptionally friendly staff who genuinely seemed to love what they were doing and got on very well together, the superb food cooked in what must be pretty challenging conditions, the very comfortable tents with real beds, hot water bottles and flushing toilets, the 'chill out tent' where we could relax and write up the day's doings or just watch the world go by, the night times round the log fires under the stars, to the exceptional way we were looked after by Rob during the day. From the hard boiled eggs and nibbles on the makeshift table on the front of our jeep after our early morning porridge to the sundowners which took account of all our individual tastes (mostly gin and tonic!) we relished every moment. Rob's knowledge and tracking skills were amazing and we saw so much, and learned a lot. We saw everything that we'd hoped for - lions (very close to our tent demolishing a warthog!) elephants wandering through the camp and on one occasion approaching near to us in the jeep - keep calm is the motto (!), innumerable birds which kept my bird loving sister in seventh heaven, and the variety of terrain from the Okavango to the Kalahari with fascinating glimpses in between from our little flights from runways often shared with zebra! We loved every minute and would go back like a shot, and would recommend anyone to travel with Golden Africa. You definitely won't be disappointed.

Perfect touroperator in an amazing country!
Three weeks optimally enjoyed many facets in this versatile country. From the hectics in Kampala to quad driving and rafting near Jinja, next to the Nile. Furthermore, we visited tribes in their traditional living environment, saw the most beautiful wildlife parks and went into the jungle to spot chimpanzees + gorillas. It was one big party!
Also the varied accommodations contributed to this, but especially our guide/driver David. His knowledge of business, sense of humor and warm personality we'll Always remember.

Fantastic African Safari .. memories for a lifetime
We just wrapped up a fantastic 14day safari through Kenya and Tanzania, with a side trip to Victoria Falls (Zambia and Zimbabwe). Lifetime of memories and a truly amazing experience, thanks to African Sunset Safaris.
Simply put, you can’t go wrong with Haron Gashao, owner of African Sunset Safaris. I contacted a lot of tour operators and researched heavily over a couple of months before picking Haron to organize the trip for our group of 10 (three families). We wanted a customized itinerary with a circular routing .. Nairobi, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Amboseli, Tsavo West (Salt Lick) .. which meant crossing the border at Isabenia (into Tanzania) and Namanga (into Kenya). Haron worked with me patiently through multiple iterations of the itinerary revisions and made thoughtful suggestions that made this trip so much more enjoyable. We experienced western parts of Mara and Serengeti that tourists normally don’t see. To reduce our journey time from Mara to Serengeti (through Isabenia), Haron arranged for us to stay a night each at Mara Engai and Zebra K Bush Camp .. fabulous experiences!
We had Patrick in Nairobi, Nick and Julius in Mara, Peter and Rogers in Serengeti, Joe and Ben in Amboseli/Salt Lick .. all fabulous guide-cum-drivers. Even though the dirt roads can be challenging, the Landcruiser 4x4 vehicles were very comfortable .. you get a vigorous African massage. The game viewing was terrific and the guides were quick to find the hot spots for us to see game up-close .. we saw Big 5 and a whole lot more. They regaled us with stories about the Masai and the local culture, mixed in with funny anecdotes about wildlife. The properties we stayed at were all top-notch .. Windsor Hotel (Nairobi), Zambezi Waterfront (Livingstone), Sarova Game Lodge (Mara), Mara Engai (Mara), Zebra K Bush Camp (Serengeti), Serena Safari Lodge (Serengeti), Serena Ngorongoro Crater Rim Lodge, Serena Amboseli Lodge, Sarova Salt Lick Lodge. We had 5 vegetarians in our group of 10 .. the chefs at each property went out of the way to prepare special meals for us. The warm Jambos and Karibus from the folks we met in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe made this trip so memorable.
This trip has been memorable for the beautiful scenery, unbelievable game viewing, generous and friendly people we met along the way, elegant and comfortable lodges, variety of experiences and pleasant weather. But most of all, it was Haron's personal attention right from the planning phase to our arrival and throughout our trip that made the biggest difference for us. He met each of the arriving parties at the airport, was there at the border crossings and was is constant touch with us over WhatsApp .. note sure when the man sleeps! When we had a minor hiccup with Kenya Airways on the return flight from Livingstone, Haron was quick to roll with it and made alternate arrangements for us to be picked up at Nairobi from the red-eye flight and head out to Mara to begin our Safari.
If you are looking for personal attention, a worry-free vacation and the best value there is, get in touch with Haron and you’re in for a real treat! He tells me his website is getting a fresh update so it should be even easier to research and custom design your own dream African Safari.
Thank you Haron and the team at African Sunset Safaris for a truly remarkable vacation!
