Johnnie & team took us to Croc Valley and Cape Maclear - very reliable, very good driving,
We booked accommodation in Croc Valley, South Luangwa, Zambia and in Cape Maclear, Lake Malawi. We flew in to Lilongwe and needed road transfers to South Luangwa and Cape Maclear. The game lodge recommended Misuku Expeditions. I booked the transfers by email (from South Africa) and the correspondence with Johnnie was very efficient. We were 6 friends and were accommodated in a mini-van. Punctuality was very good. Johnnie & his team are responsible drivers and we felt safe travelling with them. He also made the border crossing easy for us, explaining the procedures at the Malawi and Zambia border posts. Their part in our holiday made a big contribution in the very special time we enjoyed at both South Luangwa and Cape Maclear. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing to arrange long distance transport between Malawi and Zambia. The cost was reasonable.

Amazing experience
The lodges and tent camps were just perfect. Nothing could be better.
Jerry, our guide, is such a nice person. He turned this trip into an amazing experience. We will for sure come back to Tanzania to live this adventure again. We will also recommend this company tour to everyone.

Saso Uganda Safari met all my requests, were professional and I had a nexcellent guide in the parks.
They were very accommodating, quick to respond to emails and provided excellent service. My guide, Dona Kasadha, was very knowledgeable, professional and helped me meet my goals for seeing specific species, including the shoebill. I would highly recommend Dona as a guide and Saso as a safari company.

Amazing Kenya.
We really enjoyed our time in Kenya and hope to be back sometime soon. Kenya is stunning. The parks, hotels and the overall safari experience was amazing. We enjoyed the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to us by everyone we met. It made our trip really special.
Our overall experience with Beacon safari was outstanding. Robert, the owner, was very helpful with planning the trip to our specifications. He was prompt with emails and was patient with all the questions I had. Our itinerary included Samburu, the great rift valley and it's beautiful lakes and Maasai Mara. Antony was our guide for the trip.
Antony's a good guide and tried his best to show us the big 5, which we were lucky to find. He was polite and friendly and had no major issues with him.

Excellent tour operator! From beginning... Till the end.
It all started with the great costumer service! I had so many questions about planning this trip to Kenya. Vanessa answered all my questions very fast! They want you to feel comfortable with you choices and give you all the information you need.
We are just back from a 15-days trip to Kenya. We booked our 4-days Safari with Spirit of Kenya (Masai Mara national park) and our pick up from and to the airport + flight to Mombassa. Everything was well organized from start to finish. Even when there were changes, they did their very best to solve it and to fulfill your wishes.
Our guide, Josef, was fun and had a lot of knowledge about the animals. I really liked Masai Mara and we saw all the animals (more than once) except the rhinos. When an animal was spotted our guide brought us right away and could always bring us very close!
Even the route from Nairobi to the national park was quite an experience. He was a good driver and I always felt safe.
I love Africa, I love Kenya and this is certainly an experience to never forget!
We highly recommend Spirit of Kenya!
Thank you to make this happen for us.

Unforgettable Uganda tour with Matoke Tours
My wife and I travelled to Uganda for a 10N/11D safari tour in July this year arranged by Matoke Tours.
Anna at their office was always very helpful to us, and from day one she came up with good suggestions to make our trip perfect. She always replied quickly. As I am a keen bird and wildlife photographer, she also arranged so we had Confidence as a perfect driver and also a excellent birding guide. He was a very friendly guide that worked hard to find the most birds.
We stayed in mid-range accommodations and mostly nice safari tents.
Game drives and boat trips near Murchison Falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park were the highlights of the tour. We also loved to meet the Batwa/Pygmy people of Uganda near Mutanda Lake Resort at the end of our holiday. We highly recommend Matoke Tours.

Family owned company you can trust, took the stress out of arrangements for almost entire trip!
We traveled to South Africa in May 2018 with Kanyezi African Outfitters. We can both honestly say that this was an experience of a lifetime!
Our trip began in the picturesque hills & vineyards of Stellenbosch, where we resided & played at the Spier Wine Farm. This intriguing, beautiful estate is not only brimming with history and art, but is also a modern – environmentally friendly farm centralized on farm-to-table food.
With Chris & Michael as our knowledgeable and welcoming hosts we were able to experience a great variety of what this part of the country had to share. From the scenic drives on the coasts of both the Indian and the Atlantic Oceans, to the adorable penguins at Boulders Beach, we were mesmerized. We then traveled to The Cape of Good Hope where we climbed to a lighthouse with indescribable views. We had another unforgettable day at the Cheetah Outreach Center. Here we had the rare opportunity to observe and interact with both adult and cub cheetahs. Add the breathtaking views of a sunset wine tasting and the adventures that each of us found in Cape Town, and we consider our time here truly magnificent.
For the next leg of our journey we went to Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve.
We were welcomed by the absolutely incredible staff of Sabi Sabi along with the kind & capable Chip Allen.
Here, our all-to-temporary home was the luxurious Bush Lodge. There are not enough wonderful things we can say about our time at Sabi Sabi. The staff was over-the-top welcoming, friendly, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable.
Our time spent on safari is unparalleled! The adventure of looking for and tracking animals, then the excitement of finding and observing them in their natural, wild environment, up close and personal, both during the day and at night, was positively exhilarating!
We took the opportunity to visit a local village. This was something we both look back on as an essential part of our journey.
These moments, so many captured on video and photo, were not only breathtaking and unforgettable, but also indelibly life changing!
Kanyezi took all the work out of planning this trip, made all flight, transfer and activity arrangements, in addition to providing us with everything we asked for and more. Chris personally met us inside the airport in Cape Town, then Michael met us all curbside to escort us to Spier.
From the first time I called his number, Chris was friendly, answered all my questions and helped me feel secure in the decisions we were making to take this trip. It was a pleasure finally meeting then spending time with he and Michael once we arrived.
Kanyezi is a family owned company you can trust. Overall, we are very happy with our decision to travel with Kanyezi.
Deeply grateful for it all,
Larry & Kristin Bloom

Excellent trip planning and support
We planned a trip for a group of 8 to southern Africa with Darren and team. Organizing an itinerary that worked given lodge and flight availability was a big effort and we really appreciated the support they provided us to make our trip successful. They also provided very good information at every step of the process from choosing lodging to entry requirements. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for friends and family to use in the future.
