Excellent personalized service.
The whole experience from booking the trip, through arrival in Tanzania to drop off at the airport was absolutely outstanding. Excellent customized traveling arrangements, very knowledgeable tour guide Frank during our safari adventure provided a lot of fun & valuable info about the animals & the area. Great organization of the trip, fantastic hotels, amazing food. We got also a great value for our money especially on the hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti. We are already planning our next trip and we highly recommend Relish of Africa & Frank to all travelers.

Organized, professional, and courteous
The tour my wife and I had with Colours Africa was absolutely the most amazing trip of our lives. My wife and I booked the 17 day Safari/Chimp Trek/Zanzibar beach package with 2 days added in Zanzibar, and it exceeded our wildest expectations.
Our safari guide Benjamin took us on five days’ worth of driving through four parks and did a fantastic job of finding really special moments. He had an almost sixth sense for finding things like elephant and lion herds migrating across roads, and at times we’d be the first car on the scene to see something really great. He was also very skilled at getting into excellent position when we came somewhere that already had a bunch of cars on the scene. Our chef Barack, who came with us, made delicious meals, and both Ben and Barack were super welcoming and accommodating.
The trip to Gombe was amazing, and one of the company partners Hamis came with us as we got up close and personal with several of the chimp troupes and stayed in an amazing lakefront “glamping” tent. And Zanzibar was very special, as were the accommodations. And all transportation was arranged and it went very smoothly, and all our drivers were very nice guys.
I spent a lot of time researching safaris and getting quotes, and what really set Colours Africa apart was that they sent a very professional and detailed itinerary and the cost was much less than the other quotes for what we got. Part of the reason for the cost is that the accommodation includes camping, but even after upgrading to staying in luxury tents and upgrading our accommodation in Zanzibar to a nicer resort the cost was still much less than I would have expected. In fact, even before we got to Zanzibar I felt like the trip had paid for itself.
I highly recommend Colours Africa and I am already dreaming of a return to Tanzania!

He is a professional
Had the best experience ever, I was treated with respect, handled professionally and the staff is so friendly. Can’t wait to use you again when I return to Uganda.

My favourite destination for over a decade
It was my fourth safari in Tanzania and while the previous once were all great, this one was one big Wow! from start to finish. A four-day private safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro for three. Great service all the way: excellent accommodations (including a last minute change when the Soles staff learnt there would be a noisy all-night party at the hotel they had booked us), guides who had erudite answers to every question: Oscar about the animals, country and people we saw on the way; and Chief, our talkative, all-smiles city guide in Arusha. We spotted all the big five (rhinos only from a distance) and dozens more including the masterly camouflaged leopard, huge, slowly moving herds of wildebeest (not the great migration), numerous prides of lions at the end of their mating season and hyenas feeding on whatever others had left for them. And the catering: who would imagine having a full-scale cooked lunch served on stainless plates with drinks and wine in the middle of the wilderness every day! Great, fantastic, recommended!

4-day Safari tour at Kruger National Park
If you love nature that is an absolutely must in South Africa. It is an astonishing experience being able to see the animals in the wild but also it is really worth expending one day on the panorama route.

Trustworthy Friendly Dependable Safe Driver!
I've used Jason (& other of his drivers he sometimes uses) multiple times over several years when driving in Uganda & Rwanda. Jason is engaging and friendly, speaks great English, is always on time, is an incredibly safe driver in all road conditions, his vehicles are well maintained and clean. You can't go wrong!
While I usually use him going from Kigali Rwanda to Bwindi Uganda, I used him on a trip with a friend where we went as far north inUganda as Murchison Falls National Park (we had great luck and saw a leopard at night! And a male lion in Queen Elizabeth which are rare!). He's become a good friend and I highly recommend him and his company.

Professional service made the trip go smooth and give me an even better experience than I hoped for.
Very good communication with Home to Africa from booking to the end of the trip! I had a very good guide with knowledge about everything I wanted to know.

Trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable.
Jackson, I’d like to say Thank-you for such a great week! The people, the places and our conversations made for a fantastic experience. Your local knowledge made it ever more interesting- showing me those places off the beaten track that I would have never discovered doing it myself. Everyone should visit Uganda! Highly recommend Uganda Family Tours and Safari. Thanks mate.

Brilliant first trip to Namibia
We have just enjoyed the most wonderful three week trip around Namibia, organised by Lilly. From the outset, Lilly has been enthusiastic and efficient, listening to our requirements and wish-list, and from there putting together a very good itinerary, taking in some excellent small lodges to break the long journeys. We chose to do ‘self-drive’ (all arranged by Lilly, and included in the trip) and this was easy to do, particularly as Peter at Classic Cars provides very good cars and we loved having the fridge in the back for cold drinks. The roads are tarmac or gravel, and generally long and straight. If you stick to the speed limits, you will have no trouble, and Lilly provides a very good map as well as GPS. Both Lilly and Peter were readily available by email or WhatsApp whenever we had a query, and any small problems or questions were resolved immediately.
We would highly recommend Lilly at Great Explorations Namibia, and we hope to return next year to see more of Namibia.
The country is very beautiful, with each couple of days offering varying scenery, the Namibian people are very kind and gentle, and the high standards at the lodges for both comfort and food was remarkable. We enjoyed seeing the desert elephants and black rhino, and were lucky enough to see four desert lion at Entendeka as well as a black maned lion at Hobatere!
