One more Unforgettable Safari Experience with Benjamin – A Journey of a Lifetime
It was the 3rd time the last 5 years we decided to fly from Europe to meet Benjamin in South Africa and start a new adventure in the wildness.
From the very first moment we met our guide at Gaborone airport, we knew we were in excellent hands. What followed was an unforgettable private safari adventure that exceeded every expectation.
Our journey began in Mabuasehube Park (5 nights), where we experienced the raw beauty of nature up close – including the breathtaking (and slightly heart-racing!) moment of seeing lions right outside our tents.
From there, we continued to the Moremi National Park (5 nights), where we were fortunate enough to spot nearly all of the Big Five. Each day brought new surprises and incredible sightings, always guided with knowledge, patience, and passion.
The camping experience made the trip even more special. We stayed in unfenced campsites, which gave us a true sense of adventure, and every evening we gathered around the fire for a delicious barbeque under the stars. It was the perfect way to end each day – sharing stories, laughter, and enjoying the magic of the African night sky.
As three friends traveling together, having such a well-organized private tour was ideal. Our guide thought of absolutely everything, from logistics and meals to safety and comfort, so we could simply relax and immerse ourselves in the experience.
This was without doubt one of the most memorable trips of our lives, and we wholeheartedly recommend this safari to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Botswana in the most authentic and unforgettable way.

Warning: Ramesa Adventures – Avoid This Irresponsible, Dishonest Tour Operator
We booked our safari adventure with Ramesa Adventures, but what should have been the trip of a lifetime turned into a nightmare of mismanagement, deception, and outright violation of agreements. The company failed to honor multiple basic contractual obligations and ignored our repeated requests for a refund, as previously agreed upon due to their disgraceful service. Not only did they disappear after promising compensation, but their lack of accountability and professionalism has left us feeling cheated, stressed, and deeply disappointed.
Contract Violations: We were promised a specific itinerary, including full-day safaris, prompt transfers, qualified guides, and basic provisions. Almost every promise was broken, and key activities were missed.
Utter Lack of Responsibility: After acknowledging their failures and agreeing to a refund, the company simply vanished and stopped all communication, leaving us with no support or resolution.
Customer Service Failure: Ramesa Adventures has demonstrated total disregard for customer welfare, safety, and trust. Their business practices are a cautionary tale for any would-be travelers: avoid at all costs.

Golden Rwanda made our trip to Rwanda one of our best trips ever!
Our family of four (2 parents and 2 kids aged 17 and 21) wanted to go to Rwanda to do gorilla trekking but the more we learned about Rwanda, the more time we wanted to spend in the country. We reached out to Golden Rwanda and they did an excellent job helping me organize what turned out to be a 16 day trip! Communication with Frank (the owner) was excellent and we landed on a trip were we would go to the genocide memorial in Kigali, Nyanza royal palace, Nyungwe National Park (chimpanzee trekking, hiking, and colobus moneys), Lake Kivu (coffee plantation, fruit bats, and relaxation), Volcanoes National Park (2 days gorilla trekking & 1 day golden monkeys), and Akagera National Park (2 days in the south, 3 days in the north). We have traveled quite extensively in and out of Africa and this trip ranks up there with one of the best ones we have done. We were picked up by our guide/driver (Taufique) late at night in Kigali and quickly dropped off a the Governors Residence for a good night's rest (highly recommend this place). We would spend the next 16 days with Taufique in Rwanda. The two days of gorilla trekking were something that had to be reserved well ahead of time (Golden Rwanda did this for us) but everything else in the trip would be discussed the day before. I love this approach of having an outline of a plan but adjusting it along the way depending on the desires of the group. This was something that we have rarely had with a tour guide and it made the trip fantastic!!! We ended up experiencing things that were not in the original plan (such as ziplining in Nyungwe, the fruit bats on Napoleon Island, colobus monkeys in Nyungwe, walking with rhinos in Akagera, coffee plantation on the edge of Mount Kivu) and also eliminated some things that were too much (i.e. an extra day hiking in Volcanoes NP). Taufique was a master of logistics...getting us to where we needed to go, making sure lodging was ready for us, organizing food/coffee stops, and recommending activities along the way. He basically organized everything. Additionally...he was our wildlife guide in Akagera (which is a phenomenal park!!). So...first of all...go to Rwanda for more than gorillas....Nyungwe, Akagera, and Lake Kivu were particularly fantastic. It is an AMAZING country with so much to see and really nice people. Second...GO with Golden Rwanda and have them run the trip for you. It was fantastic and I highly recommend them!

Lots of fun and a very professional team!
Our experience with Lenchada was great. Collins always answered my emails promptly and gave me all the necessary information. They pick you up at your place, so you don't need to worry about anything. Dickson was the best driver and guide we could have asked for! Very knowledgeable, experienced and caring, he made our experience unforgettable. We were able to see the big five and learn lots of fun facts about the beautiful animals. It was an experience I will never forget.

Perfect experience
Did the 2 day gorilla trek and the experience was amazing. The lunch we had on the way to the lodge was fantastic, the Da Vinci lodge itself was great with wonderful service, and our guide Brian ensured throughout the entire trip that we had a smooth journey. The gorilla trek itself was unbelievable, highly recommend to everyone.

David the King was truly an invaluable guide, always ready to give advice, attentive to every situat
David the King was truly an invaluable guide, always ready to give advice, attentive to every situation and detail, and very friendly and kind. The overnight stays were wonderful, the lodges where we stayed were beautiful and clean, and the food was excellent. We were five Italian friends and all five of us were truly impressed and satisfied with the quality of the service. One celiac guest and one vegetarian never had any problems at all with the food. Every day we always found the jeep clean and stocked with water, wine, and lunch boxes for the day. A big thank you also to Naomi, the tour organizer, whose kindness and organization were impeccable. Everything is highly recommended.
