It was a good experience..
Thanks to Mr Ally & Mr Mwendo who has been always cooperative... They had been making quick decision and organize tour on time.. Best location for budget tour with rich experience...
Excellent tent camping @ Serengeti & also at Ngorongoro crater. They give a good try and ensure we see maximum animals/birds in short time..

A pleasant and extremely positive surprise!
Lower Zambezi was a really pleasant experience! The only negative thing is that arriving there is quite complicate, but when you arribe, I have to admit that is worthwhile. Maybe the variety of wildlife is not that great (you mainly see hippos, elephants, buffaloes and crocodiles) but the scenery is just astonishing. I really recommend making a boat safari through the river, as you can interact from close distances with hippos and crocs, and you can see many details of their behaviour that you wouldn't be able to see if you did a normal game drive. if you are lucky you might see lions (I was lucky) and even leopards. Also good chances of spotting monitor lizard.
PD: If you self drive, do not take Leopard Hills as a road to arribe there as it is extremely dangerous.

Fantastic Safari!
It was really a great experience for me, especially from someone who just experienced safari! The company catered me from the beginning till the end! I was having problems on which place to stay at after the safari as I had a flight the next day, but they offered me a free hotel (not your typical hostel or stuff) and transportation!
In addition, the guide (Thomas) was really knowledgeable about his job! For a first-timer like me, it's important to have someone who knows a lot about animals and some additional yet important information during safari. Mind you guys, I met the entire Big 5!
It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it! Would recommend it to people who will experience safari for the first time!

Fantastic Company, Beautiful people, Amazing experience - 10 out of 10
The most difficult decision was which Company to choose for our safari as there are so many Companies out there it is quite a minefield. Our decision was based on the Company being based in Botswana for local knowledge, registered with the Botswana Tourism Authority, their ability to fit in with our time frames, adaptability, reviews and speed of response.
We chose Kalahari Breeze and couldn’t have been happier with our choice! Kalahari Breeze is also not only locally owned and operated but also the money goes back to the communities to help sustain the local people and economy which was another plus for us
Maria, my contact answered every question I had with almost immediate response and was happy to accommodate any changes to their suggested itineraries to suit our own. Chris who is one of the owners and operators met us in Maun to make sure everything was going to plan and that we had had no problems or issues. This was a lovely personal touch which showed how much he cared about and valued his clients.
He is in constant contact with his staff to ensure everything goes smoothly and according to plan and to deal with any issues that may arise. The only small issue we experience was dealt with swiftly and smoothly by Chris and in no way deterred from our experience.
We were given a comprehensive itinerary prior to our arrival with detailed information of our trip including the accommodations, safaris etc. We had no issues at all with being met at the places specified at the times stated from pick-up at Victoria Falls airport to drop-off in Maun 11 days later.
Everything was well managed and we have absolutely no complaints at all. Everyone we dealt with were very helpful and such lovely people. Where we stayed, where we went and what we saw was amazing. Our expectations were exceeded
Our itinerary followed Vic falls, Chobe, Savuti, Moremi, and the Okavango.
Our guide Kaiser was fantastic with so much knowledge and experience. He was so diligent in his task as guide and driver and never gave up until he had found the animals we wanted to see. As well as a impala, water buffalo, giraffe, elephants and zebra we saw Hippos, wild dogs, hyena as well as 3 prides of lions and a leopard due to Kaiser’s tireless search!
We had the most amazing time especially on the 4 night mobile safari. Camping out in the wild was one of the most exhilarating experiences I have had and we felt extremely safe in the capable hands of Kaiser and George although there were Elephants, hyena and wild dogs wandering through the camp as well as the lions on the doorstep!!
We had also organised a self-drive safari through Namibia and had thought of doing the same through Botswana but so glad we didn’t. The roads are deep with few sign posts and many different dirt roads to follow (whereas in places like Etosha there are set routes and off-road is not allowed) therefore the likelihood of not only getting lost but driving around all day and not seeing anything is HUGE. Therefore we would certainly advise a guided safari in Botswana to get the most out of this amazing country and without a doubt recommend Kalahari Breeze to do this for you!!
Kalahari Breeze also organise self-drive Safaris in Namibia which we didn’t realise at the time but next time would definitely look at them to help us with this too.
Can’t recommend these Guys highly enough!

Adventure of a Lifetime!
I recently had the pleasure of going on safari with Walking Stick Travel and Tours. My family and I were truly impressed with the entire experience, from beginning to end. Prior to our adventure, Phillimon was wonderful to work with – customizing our itinerary based on a combination of what we were hoping to do and see and what he thought would make for the best experience for us. Upon arrival, he met us at the airport, brought us to our accommodations in Maun and even met us later in the evening to take us to a fabulous dinner spot.
Our safari included two nights in the Okavango Delta, two nights at Khwai Concession, and two nights in Kasane so that we could visit Devil’s Pool at Victoria Falls. Phillimon, Kenny (our guide in the Delta), and our chef Joe, along with the rest of the team, were all so friendly and professional. They are also local, so their knowledge of the area and the animals is very impressive! Joe kept us well fed and was able to work around a number of dietary restrictions, cooking up some amazing dishes on the campfire. During our entire trip, Phillimon took care of every little detail and had everything pre-arranged. He is also an incredible guide! His knowledge and persistence led to some wonderfully intimate sightings. One night at sunset he tracked and found us a leopard that we were able to watch with no other vehicles around!
If you’re on the fence about camping while on safari, do it! Sitting around a campfire at night, falling asleep to the sounds of the animals, and waking up to a gorgeous African sunrise make it an experience you won’t ever forget. The accommodations were wonderful – comfortable and clean, and we never once felt unsafe. I highly recommend booking with Walking Stick and Phillimon for the adventure of a lifetime!

AMAZING SAFARI!
Alliance Destinations made our trip simply unforgettable!
The first positive remark regards the pre-arrival organization: James was very helpful and answered quickly to all of our requests and questions.
We decided to do a 6-days Safari, implying an hard work for the driver: we started with Masai Mara, then Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West and we finished our trip with Alliance in Watamu.
Our driver Kennedy was excellent: he has an incredible knowledge of the parks, animals and places, he was very kind and extremely professional. We had such a great time during our safaris, everything was perfect: I will never forget this trip!

Aramati Safari offers outstanding service, knowledge in travel, and brings endearing fun as you go.
John and his team did an exemplary job of keeping us informed of plans and on time, and bringing amazing connections points for our group as we traveled. We were cared for so well and by the end of our two weeks, we felt as though they were all family.

Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We took tour from Mali Kale. It was the best experience i’ve ever had! Thanks to Richard for organising everything in a perfect way and to our lovely driver and guide Masai Nogo for the great animal experience, driving nicely and carefully. And of course can not forget Dr. Nelson for the delicious food. We did Serengeti and Ngorongoro with them. Highly recommend it!!
