Tansania'23
In August this year, we hired a Toyota Landcrusier from Gladiola Adventure for 18 days. We were very excited with our German mentality and the awareness of how contracts are organised in this country.
We were in contact with Didas from the beginning of March and prepared our adventure as self-drivers.
He always responded to us quickly and was very supportive.
On 2.8.23 the time had come. Didas personally brought the car to Dar es Salaam. After an introduction to the handling of the roof tents, the accessories and the technique of changing tyres, we set off on a fantastic journey through this beautiful country.
Our fridge gave up the ghost in Lake Manyara National Park. A day later we had a new one. It was really great how Didas stood by our side and helped us the whole time. We also organised the permits for Ngorongoro by phone and WhatsApp.
The people in Tanzania are extremely friendly and helpful. It was a wonderful experience to experience this country as a self-driver and we can highly recommend it. Gladiola Adventure with Didas is also an excellent address!!!
We will definitely be back.
One small thing dear Didas: please put some new camping chairs in the camping equipment ;-)

Reliable w/ good communication.
We booked a 9 days Serengeti safari. Communication from pre-booking until departure was excellent and quick.
Everything happened as arranged and at arranged cost.
This was our second time in Serengeti and our informed specific requirements were well catered for by our guide, John.
Overall, good value for money.

Patient and helpful
My husband and I booked a 5 day Safari to Timbavati nr the Kruger Park in South Africa with Indigo. Ines, the person at Indigo who made the booking for us, was extremely patient with all our questions, and as well as arranging the safari itself, she booked our flights from Cape Town to Hoedspruit and from Hoedspruit to Johannesburg. Everything went smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
I would definitely recommend Indigo Safaris and Ines in particular.

Amazing arrangement.
We did a family trip to Kenya last month using this company and they delivered beyond our expectations.
Thank you team Wecam for your service.

Great people and great service
All in all an amazing 4 day experience!
- Great value on the trip
- Amazing people, especially our guides
- Really nice accommodations with good food
We were picked up in Rwanda by our guides Victor and Hillary, and drove to Bweza lodge where we were greeted with very kind staff. The pictures didnt do it justice, it had stunning views over Bwindi forest, with great meals and great service. We also met Wyclef who we had good comminication with planning the whole trip. In the four days, we experienced gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, bird watching, visiting local communities and safari in queen elizabeth.
I really recommend using Gorillas and Beyond, and especially Victor and Hillary. (Thanks for a great experience guys ❤️)

Extremely organized, flexible and delivered a complete amazing tour.
I used Cultural Vibes to organize a tour for myself of Victoria Falls. Half of the activities were conducted by Cultural Vibes itself and the other were by operators hired by them. The best thing about the tour was their flexibility to meet my constantly changing requests. Tongesai had to build my tour not once, but twice due since I had to postpone my initial dates due to an injury. He always got back to me promptly and in the end everything worked out as expected, sometimes better.
Tongesai met me at the airport and took me to my lodgings at the Victoria Falls which lives up to its reputation for facilities and service. The breakfast and dinner buffets are exceptional in quality and selection. The first evening was a Zambezi river cruise which was beautiful.
On the first day contained an extremely interesting Elephant Interaction where I got to feed and touch an elephant. Later Tongesai took me around Victoria Falls which was as beautiful as advertised. I was there in September which meant the flow over the falls was at its minimum but Tongesai pointed out I could actually see them because there was no mist. That afternoon I walked around the town of Victoria Falls which has interesting shops, but a little less interesting.
On my second full day I started off with a game drive in Zambezi National Park which was a little less interesting than Kruger National Park, but the driver was excellent and fun to talk to. Later I took a helicopter ride over the falls which is worth every penny (especially when you get the front seat with the best view). That evening I went to the Boma dinner and cultural show which was outstanding both in food and entertainment.
The next day Tongesai took me over the border into Zambia where we were taken around by a Zambian guide. The Livingstone Museum is excellent for its history and nature collections, the rest of the town was less interesting and we didn't go to the Zambia side of the falls as I expected. On our return to Zimbabwe, Tongesai went out of his way to take me to the curio shops and helped me find a picture book of the falls I wanted.
The local village with its singing and dancing was more interesting. On my last full day Tongesai escorted me to the Botswana border where I was taken with another group on a tour of Chobe National Park which was simply the best day of animal spotting I had in two weeks. The numbers of elephant, hippos, tigers, giraffes and buffalo all gathering at the river is beyond description.
On my last day Tongesai took me to the airport where I easily made my flight on time.
In short, I was hoping for a trip of a lifetime and I got it. Everything that was promised was delivered and there were no disputes about money. I definitely recommend Cultural Vibes.
