An amazing experience!
My friend recommended us to AST for a safari trip to Tanzania a while back. We didn’t regret it, it turned out to be a holiday of a lifetime. My husband, our daughter and I had an absolutely fabulous time. The safari was perfectly tailored for a holiday with 5days and 4 nights of safaris which included 3 parks, Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro. The accommodation was fantastic and the activities organised ; hot air ballooning and meeting the tribes were amazing experiences. The communication was so reliable and precise, the team was so attentive to all our needs and arranged things for us, that we will never forget doing as a family. They did such a fantastic job to ensure we had a truly memorable time. Our guide Eli was so friendly, by the end of the safari we all become friends. I can't help but sing Eli's praises! He was incredibly attentive, professional, and had an amazing eye for detail. He made the safari experience so fun and engaging, ensuring that every moment was full of excitement and wonder. We couldn't have asked for a better guide! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure. We were regularly checked up on via text to make sure we were happy, this operator is so professional and a lovely team to deal with.
We cannot recommend AST highly enough, it was truly magical, the people the experiences, thank you for giving us lifelong memories that we will treasure forever, thank you, to all of you

Highly recommended
Good prices and good services!! The exchange of information is very fluid; Eddie responded quickly and answered all my questions, which is why I chose to do the Gorilla trekking with Birchill Expeditions. The guide and driver assigned to me was very attentive and punctual, always willing to help me. The safari went according to plan, but the experience of meeting the gorillas is extraordinary, very exciting. I am recommending my friends to do this safari

Our guide really made the difference!
My group of friends (4 women) booked a private 3-days safari at Amboseli with Explorers Wild Adventure. The organisers were very responsive and tailored the safari based on our wishes. We stayed at the kilima lodge for 2 nights, the food was excellent and the lodges are spacious, cosy and quite isolated from each other which allows to be closer to nature. But what made our trip absolutely exceptionnal, was our Guide Zachary. He shared his knowledge during the whole tour (on animals but also about Kenya), spotted animals like no one else and had a profound respect for them (as opposed to other cars we could see in the park). Zachary would drive us to less explored places - he is also a very good driver!
We would recommend Zachary to all clients of Explorer Wild Adventure!

An excellent, real professional guide.
Our 18-day tour through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe took place in October 2023. It was truly an exciting experience. Everything was very well organized from the moment we arrived in Windhoek to our departure.
As we were travelling from one place to another we stayed in different accommodations almost every night, the lodges we stayed in were clean, spacious and fully equipped. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was really delicious with many local ingredients. Our guide was very knowledgeable, informative and did an excellent job to organize our activities: sunset or sunrise walks, safaris which allowed us to admire fauna and flora. We expected to see some animals but the number we saw was incredible:
elephants, buffalo, giraffes, antelopes, warthogs, lions and countless species of birds.
We strongly recommended boat cruise on the Okavango River (hippos! crocodiles!) and the marine cruise-let us watch plenty of sea creatures: humpback whales, dolphins, seals, pelicans.
We also had the opportunity to fly over Victoria Falls in a helicopter. The natural landscape and the views were marvellous.
It was an expensive trip, but one that is well worth the cost.
We would definitely recommended the tour to everyone who still dream about Africa.

Last minute, unforgettable adventure!
The Chalo Africa team organized a fantastic, unforgettable experience in the Okavango Delta. They accommodated my unique time constraints and pointed me towards a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Excellent communication and reasonable rates. Would recommend!

Beautiful scenery with friendly and knowledgeable locals
I completed a 3 day safari following a trip to Mafia and enjoyed every minute of our trip. The tour driver was knowledgeable and made the trip more enjoyable. Whilst the weather on the drive to and from Dar to Nyerere National Park was rainy, that didn't take away from the beauty of the country and the wildlife we were able to see on our boat and walking safaris. The game drive round Nyerere was incredible, we were lucky to see a whole host of wildlife including giraffes, elephants, zebra and hippos.
The lodge we stayed in was beautiful and the staff were helpful.
Tanzania is a beautiful country with such a vast range of wildlife encounters available

Trip of a Lifetime!
We had the most amazing week with Jon exploring Uganda! From the initial conversations of trip planning to our actual time Uganda, the process could not have been better. As a local, Jon has many connections and first-hand experience that creates a once in a lifetime safari experience. He's incredibly knowledgeable about local wildlife as well, which helped us view the most animals possible. We fell in love with each accommodation we got to experience, and were very impressed with the quality of the "mid-range" selections. They were all beautiful, safe, and welcoming. If touring in East Africa, I highly recommend the chimpanzee and gorilla treks- they were highlights of our trip! Ultimately, we're so happy with our decision to plan our trip with Jon instead of with a large company - thanks again for the life-long memories!

Amazing tour of Kenya and Tanzania (Kiboko tour)
I am a 67-year-old woman who travelled solo on the two-week Kiboko tour offered by The Safari Partners. I'm very pleased to say the trip exceeded my expectations. Booking the trip was easy; the Nairobi airport pick-up was seamless; accommodation was always unique and in a few instances, unexpectedly luxurious; food was usually buffet style with a hot station for fresh omelets for breakfast/pasta for dinner'; all 'Safari' guides/employees were friendly and knowledgeable. The safaris themselves were incredible. Animals were everywhere and easily seen. In a few instances they were close enough to walk right beside our jeep - seven lions passed by so close I could have reached out and touched them. When I got back to Canada, several people asked me if I had felt safe. The question caught me off-guard as the issue of not being safe had never crossed my mind on the trip.
I never repeat a trip - been there, done that attitude - but for this trip I would make an exception and do it all over again.
