Top notch! Everything was perfect!
We went on Safari in the beginning of January as a group of 4. We found Crimson Brooke Safari on safari.com and they really sticked out for the value for money. The price is very reasonable and very competitive. Betty and Amos are great in communication. They reply super fast. We had a WhatsApp group for easy communication. Also our Safari guide was in the WhatsApp chat and always available. This allows for flexibility. Our driver was awesome. We spotted so many animals, even a leopard which is very rare to see!!! The car for the game drives was really comfortable. It we an awesome trip!!!

Exceptional operator, amazing safari, and very good value for money!
We cannot thank Morindat enough for the wonderful service they provided. Titus helped me every step of the way to plan out our safari in Kenya, he offered us multiple options for different itineraries and provided us with different price options all within our budget.
Everything was perfectly organized and coordinated, from the selection of the itinerary, the airport pickup, the accommodations, the parks selection…everything was just perfect!
Thank you, Titus (the owner) for the experience of a lifetime, and huge thanks to Gideon (the only guide that can spot all big 5 on the first day

Personal attention with expert wilderness guides.
My wife and I booked with Marvel at Marvelous Safaris, and everything important came through in the best way possible. That's not to say that there were not any "this is Africa" moments, where some things got delayed or extra hurdles needed to be surmounted -- so be ready for that. We were met at the Kasana airport by our guide, who provided us with thermal water bottles with "Marvelous" on them. We drove into Chobe as the sun was beginning to set and got one of my favorite pictures, an elephant, trunk raised, silhouetted by the sunset with the Chobe River in the background. That first night, camping in the bush, our guide pointed out the sounds -- so many sounds -- of male lions, female lions, impala mating. That night in the tent, all I heard were the lions -- but upon training my ear, I later realized it was all impalas! The next morning our guide headed to where he heard the lions and, as the sun rose, there they were! This was just the beginning of a phenomenal 10 day trip where our guide, expert in hearing sounds, seeing signs, understanding animal behavior, continually led us into unbelievable adventures! "Did you hear that cry?l -- a cape buffalo in distress -- let's check it out" led to us seeing a new born buffalo stuck for some reason in the river, just as the reason (a small crocodile) floated to the surface, letting him go. "Those zebras are not coming for a drink, but looking at the giraffes, ... who are looking in the bush", led to us finding a pride of lions sleeping in the shade. The 2 times a day safari was the 'point' of the trip, but the camp setting with the private cook making just the meals we liked after we took a hot camp shower really was a great way to end every day and process the many memories. We visited both Chobe and Okavango and ended up with a makoro (canoe) near Maun. What an adventure!

This safari was even better than I could have imagined!
This week I was in Tanzania and had the opportunity to visit Mikumi National Park. I booked my safari excursion through WildReality and it exceeded even my wildest expectations. It was a great value and every step of the journey was professional and well planned. The communication was always prompt and there was great attention to detail. The guide picked me up at my hotel, drove us to the park, made all the arrangements for admission and then took us all through the park for the adventure. The lunch served at the park was a wonderful spread of local foods served on an open veranda overlooking the bush – absolutely perfect! I was so impressed by both the knowledge and professionalism of my guide, Philipo. He did an exceptional job of navigating the challenging roads, all the while informing us on what we were seeing and experiencing. His knowledge extended well beyond the expected animals and he helped me spot and identify birds and insects and understand more about the beautiful country. Going on an excursion like this helps you really feel like you have experienced the country, not just visited. Returning back to the hotel, the guide stopped at one of the fruit markets. We sampled pineapple and passion fruit and it was just the perfect addition to the day.
My advise for anyone about to embark on this adventure - remember this is a wild space and not a zoo. There is no certainty to what you will see or where you will find it. That is part of the thrill and the excitement (and why you need a good guide). Trust your guide, be open and curious, and I have no doubt yours will be a fantastic experience too.

Amazing scenery, fabulous space, friendly people, a great experience
Loved the remoteness, the wild scenery, the endless space and the adventures of traveling around the country and seeing the changing environments. I would highly recommend Namibia as a destination for a self drive safari.

Magical with amazingly people and hospitality.
My experience in Uganda exceeded any expectations I had. The scenery was beautiful and varied: tranquil lakes, wild waterfalls, lush mountains with incredible vegetation and birds, dense forests and the open bush. Unbelievable sunsets and sunrises. The amount of wildlife is not as dense as other safari destinations so not a lot of big cats, however, the gorilla and chimpanzee treks make up for that. If you are a birder it is a must go. There are so many varieties and as one’s eyes adjust you begin to spot them everywhere. We went with a small local Uganda company, Azas, and Simon the owner came through on all that was promised. Our driver/guide, Allan, was one of a kind. He became like family. He made sure we were well cared for and went out of his way to accommodate us. The people of Uganda were welcoming and had such beautiful spirits. Our accommodations were amazing as was the food. I would skip the cities like Kampala and Entebbe except as a point of entry and departure. But the rest is pure magic.

Magnificent Uganda The Pearl of Africa
Through Safari booking we booked a 10-day trip to Uganda with Lulu Safari. Booking through Elvis was simple and transparent. Our guides Samuel, an excellent driver and Claudio, an excellent translator into Italian, satisfied us with all our requests and were very professional, informed about everything, plants, animals, habits and customs. Uganda has given us fabulous scenery from national parks seeing all the animals leopards lions hippos giraffes buffaloes crocodiles hyenas rhinos hundreds of types of birds. the icing on the cake was the gorilla trek that we met after three hours of walking and they were three meters away in front of us. during the journey we met several villages and were able to observe their way of life. We passed through savannahs and forests and mountains and lakes. One thing you can't forget is the smiles of the children. temperatures were pleasant in some places a little warmer in some places a little cooler with two or three afternoons of rain. we felt safe and not in danger throughout the entire trip. we are very satisfied with this trip to Uganda and recommend it to anyone with a bit of a spirit of adventure. Thank you Uganda.

Amazing country combining wildlife, beautiful beaches, amazing local food and the friendliest people
We adored Tanzania. First we went to Zanzibar for its beautiful beaches, for swimming, snorkelling, etc and then we travelled to Tanzania mainland. We were not travelling as an organised group, but we had arranged all details from home. We had made our research and found out that SerengetiSmiles had received very good reviews and offered us the most attractive custom-made 5 day safari in the best price among other local tour operators.
Deo, our guide and driver proved to be excellent - the best we could find. We consider ourselves very lucky to have him. Not only, did he know every species of local flora and fauna, but he also explained us many many things about their migration, reproduction, habits. Moreover he told us a lot of things about African tribes, their history, civilisation and cultural practices in perfect English. We asked him and took us to a local restaurant, even though it was New Year’ s Eve, and he wasn’t obliged to do that . I personally promise that I will go back and definitely choose the same tour operator and Deo as a guide, because there’s much more to see in Tanzania.
