Great experience and excellent guide!
We did a 9 day safari in the North of Tanzania, after that we stayed a couple of days in Zanzibar. Excellent guiding during the safaris (thanks Ali!). Lodges were all very good, beautiful scenery and good food and rooms. The booking process went smooth with a lot of attention for our needs, details and wishes (travelling with a 9 year old). We would highly recommend this smaller organization.

2-days Safari adventure
The team of Kwesa Tours helped us planning a 2-days Safari programme in which we could see as much as possible (animals, nature).
We decided to go to Tarangire National Parc (Day 1) and Ngorongoro National Parc (Day 2).
The guide, Simon, was great. He tried the best to drive as close as possible, responded to our wishes and told us many things about each species – he is very experienced. We got a lunch box and freshly cooked dinner at the camp site.
It was a great 2-days Safari adventure which we really enjoyed.

Best driver and amazing customer service
We booked our 3-day safari trip with Adventour through our hostel in Joburg, and we were very satisfied with our trip - both the transfer and the hotel we stayed at.
We got picked up by the most amazing driver, Tom, who made the long drive a walk in the park. During our stay, Tom would still keep us great company at dinner time, and he also helped us sort out a misunderstanding with the tour operator at 10 pm regarding our 5 am morning game drive. He took it upon himself to call David from Adventour, who promptly sorted out our problem for us so that we could go on the game drive.
Also, the hotel was really cozy with good food, and the staff was very helpful and even drove us to the store to buy snacks since we didn't have our own car.
Overall it was an amazing experience and everyone made sure that we could just relax and enjoy our trip.

This tour was simply fantastic - perfectly planned and realized - and with a wonderful team!
We travelled as a family (parents and 3 teenagers). It was a 15 day tour (starting at Maun, through the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Nxai Pans, Moremi Game Reserve, Okavango Delta, Khwai Concession, Savuti and Chobe National Park, transfers to Victoria Falls) in August 2018 – our first safari experience – suggested in a similar fashion on the company’s webpage but adapted (very flexibly!) to our own wishes. The communication with Lucky on behalf of the company was extremely friendly and efficient, without complications or misunderstandings. All services offered in the contract were realized to our full satisfaction.
The tour itself was absolutely amazing – exceeding all our expectations! We saw so many different aspects of Botswana’s amazing landscape and wild life and experienced it in various ways (game drives, boat and mokoro trips, scenic flight, bush walk) - unforgettable! The team that accompanied us (Ben, Wilson, Daddy; also Lucky and Gideon joined at some places) was wonderful. Ben is the best safari guide we could have imagined – he has a huge knowledge on so many aspects of the safari animals and nature, and his great experience and patience in searching also for the rare animals made us see essentially all of them!!! Wilson’s cooking over the fire was delicious! The tents and all infrastructure – up to the bucket showers – were nice and convenient. Sitting around the fire in the evenings – taking about God and the world – was exciting and a wonderful experience. The 15 days passed much too quickly; saying good bye was hard as we had all become friends.
VERRY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Perfect!!
Fast and effective communication. I dealt with Jolie via email correspondence, I had a reply within 8-12hrs. She was brilliant and extremely helpful. On tour we had Augustine, who was great, knowledgable and very passionate of his country. Well done to you both. You represent your company very well. When my travels bring me back to Uganda, you’ll be hearing from me;)

Great experience for a mid-range safari! Affordable prices and awesome guide
We are 3 canadian travellers. We did a 5 day safari trip with this company. Seka, owner, was responsive to our emails. And gabe, our guide, made all the experience better! We stayed at a mid-range camp for 2 nights in serengeti (tent with beds, shower , bathroom) and the remaining two nights, we stayed at a Bougainvillea (5 star villa) it was great! We paid about 1700 CAD per person

Amazing
I went on a day Safari while in Nairobi. Anthony was so kind. He is very passionate about making his customers feel the value for their money. He wants to make sure you see every animal in the park and he supplies adequate explanation about the park and the animals. He’s just amazing. I will do this again with him whenever I return to Nairobi.

A unique and beautiful experience
We stayed in the Hekima House and booked the Safari directly when we arrived. The stuff was very kind and helped us in every belongings. The safari itself was a unique experience, we saw a lot of animals and visited the Hadzabe. I would defenently book a tour with Hekima again!

Highly recommended! Beautiful safari with reliable and well prepared guide!
We booked a private jeep safari for 4 nights. The vehicle was perfect and the driver/guide David was fantastic: great driver, full of information and anecdotes, he speaks excellent English.
We recommend choosing the jeep that allowed us to cross even the paths where the vans had to stop.
We loved the tour between Tsavo East & West and Amboseli, they are very different parks and the variety of landscapes is fantastic.
Some uncertainties, however, during the negotiation: the tour has changed compared to what was initially proposed because the camps were not available as budgeted and we had to renegotiate both the tour and camps and we had to return to Mombasa by train instead of jeep. A few days after our arrival they had to change again one of the accommodations.
Very convenient to pay both the deposit and the balance with PayPal.
Overall they are super recommended and reliable but we suggest to start booking your safari in advance (at least 3 months) especially in high season to make sure you have the best choice of accommodations.
