Far, far exceeded our expectations, the place, the people, the food.
First, Tongesai Mtematsaka was excellent with communications and service. We couldn’t have asked for better. My questions via email were promptly answered. His English was excellent, and better. He was always on time in meeting us, coming and going. Our two hour trips from VIc Falls to the sable sands lodge, and then from the lodge to the Vic Falls airport were a highlight to our entire Africa trip. My wife and I will be discussing various aspects from the discussions with Tongesai for some time to come. By patiently answering my many questions he educated my wife and I about Zimbabwe and the region - culture, practices and assets of the people, typical family life, economy, weather, etc., and possibilities and trends into the future - all believable and detailed.
The staff and facilities at the sable sands lodge were all excellent, beginning with Michelle’s clear instructions and cautions. She was a delight. We were asked if we wanted to take a charming hut as close as we could get to the marvelous watering hole there and got it. Incredibly we were greeted by a dust-cloud from a herd of maybe 100 Cape buffalo running to the water - unbelievable! The meals prepared by So and Derik were really good, throughout. MC, our drive guide was excellent and very accommodating to all the guests in the comfortable and safe-feeling, open 4x4. We met some nice co-guests. We saw so many animals on our safari that I will not attempt to recall here. I would just say that the many watering holes in the Hwange park were impressive, As an environmentalist myself I was very impressed with the solar powered system for exploiting the aquifers, and the foresight of the authorities in developing and maintains these. I know the history going back to the 1920’s, but if there wasn’t maintainence and upgrade the animals could not continue, especially with drought effects of climate change. Finally, I must comment on the fact that our first night in our hut was spent listening to the rumblings of the elephant just outside out hut. In the morning the tracks outside our hut showed how close our visitor was. We knew then that Michelle’s cautions were serious. But then more, the second night we had a lioness spend the night outside our hut, perhaps roaring a mating call. At first light MC came by with the truck and asked if we wanted to see the lion. I shot out with my camera. What an experience!!
We hope our parting tip to the group of 16 people providing excellent service was meaningful. I will certainly recommend this trip to anyone who will hear me. What a privilege!!!

Best Honeymoon Ever!
Oh my goodness, I cannot rave about this company enough! We chose to do the 3 day safari with ACZ, and were not disappointed! John and Stano were the perfect duo to take us around Kenya. They were very accommodating when our plans didn’t work out. There were lots of little surprises we had no clue were coming: the crocodile stop, lunch next to the river, the fish market. It was all so amazing! Definitely do a private tour, with no more than 4 people so you have room to all enjoy it. We just had us two on the tour but are already saying how we want to bring our best friends next time! Check them out, you won’t regret it!

Exciting and comfortable trek
We are three friends and booked a private tour and everything was well organized and reliable. The pick up from the airport was on time and everybody was really nice and friendly. We met our main guide the day before the climbing started. He checked our equipment and answered all our questions we had. The stuff we didn't need for the climb was stored in the office of Bujo, our tour operator from Bujo Tours. At the gate of the national park we met our assistance guide . We had so much fun with them on our five day journey to the summit. They both can speak good English. The last day to the summit is really hard and they always motivated us to get to the top. At the summit the view is really amazing ...especially when the sunrise starts.
If you want a nice company to summit Kilimanjaro choose this.

Amazing Experience
Our group of 8 throughly enjoyed our 2 day, 1 night luxury Safari. We aren’t into real camping so we were happy to find this option to stay at Ol Tukai Lodge. The tour was well organized and accommodations were 5 stars. Our safari was in a heavy duty Jeep-like vehicle with pop up top. It was much better than some of the other vehicles we saw on the road. It came with free WiFi and electrical outlets for charging, which was greatly appreciated. They accommodated every request and we plan to book this tour for our clients in the future. It was very easy to communicate and they responded quickly to all my questions. Thanks Bencia Africa Adventures & Safaris!!! You guys rock! Can’t wait to do this again!

Trip of a Lifetime
Visiting the National Parks of Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara was an amazing trip of a lifetime which exceeded all expectations. The trip was thoughtfully organized by Voice of Serengeti African Tours. From the moment of arrival to our departure we were welcomed at each destination and treated as important guests. Each of the Tortilis Camps were clean, very comfortable, with very attentive and accommodating staff who seem to enjoy their jobs. The 4 course meals were delicious. Our experienced and enthusiastic driver guide was quite knowledgeable about the animals and spotting them. He was attentive to our interests and did not rush us. There are so many highlights from the trip it's difficult to name a few. In addition to seeing the animals and birds, the scenery was amazing. It all was a photographer's paradise.
