Tour Of My Life
What can I say! This was the best trip of my life and Bonarde played a huge role. He made sure we always had everything we needed and more. He is polite, friendly and professional. I travelled with another person, but we always had our own rooms. The hotel in Kampala was really decent and even had a nice view. The accommodation near the gorilla site could be better, but it was alright. The accommodation on the last night was amazing, great job, Bonarde! He even gave us a small tour of Kampala before dropping us off to the airport. The price was very good, so if you always wanted to do a Gorilla trek, do it with Bonarde! It even includes a game drive. :) Thank you for everything, Bonarde, I will return in sha allah!

Masai Mara Safari and Mount Kenia Hike well organized for a Kenya Newbie
I was asking for a tailored combination of a short safari and a trekking tour in the Mount Kenia region (Pt. Lenana). I got a very nice proposal including stays in between the segments in a very good hotel in Nairobi. All my questions as First Timer in Kenya have been answered within a day (thanks to Jacqueline Mwathe) everything including pick-up at the airport was organized perfectly. The special highlight was the guided trekking tour at Mount Kenya. The guide hired for me by Bush Troop Safaris (Julius Kinuthia) was simply great. Not only being a safe giude allowing me to enjoy the trek in elevations I've never been before, but also he was a textbook about all aspects of life in Kenya and I really leaned a lot from him during our six days we had together.
Thanks to all the Bush Troop Safaris team.

Excellent experiences across 3 countries!
Simon organised for us the Zambesi sunset Cruise, the day trip at Chobe in Botswana, a rhino walking safari in Zambia and the transfer from the Vic Falls airport. Everything was excellent and absolutely aligned with the agreed plan...simply unforgettable! Simon is pleasant, reliable and professional, Africa Beast Safaris is strongly recommended!

Afrishare Trekking & Safaris provided the trip of a lifetime.
I communicated with Ibrahim Mkwizu regarding our Afrishare Safari. I explained to Ibrahim exactly what we wanted in our trip with the number of days included. He worked out an itinerary for us that provided six days of safari in Tanzania and six days at a resort in Zanzibar. The price Ibrahim quoted was lower than quotes from other tour companies and the service was excellent. The lodges our family stayed in were luxurious (our favorite was the Kubukubu luxury tented lodge). Our guide for the safari was Freddie, who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The experience exceeded our expectations and Afrishare Trekking & Safaris is highly recommended.

They delivered exactly what they promised and the experience was awesome
Our agent (Kathi) was very helpful. She gave us a few options and worked with us to setup the itinerary that we wanted. She managed to get us an extra day in Safari and one fewer day in Cape Town than the default itinerary had which matched our preferences. The hotel in Cape Town and the lodge in Kruger lived up to our expectations and then some and the experience was fantastic. Highly recommend both the Victoria & Albert hotel on the Cape Town waterfront and the Serondella lodge in Thornybush that she booked for us. She also gave us all the information needed for travel (needed birth certificates for the children, the kind of plug adapters we needed etc). All in all she made sure we had an awesome time.

Amazing experience!! Best tour operator ever!
My experience with Tanzania Roadside expeditions tour operator was great. Communications was really easy (email or WhatsApp) and Paul (tour operator manager) answered all my questions and doubts on time. We were a group of five people and we spent 2 nights in a lodges and 1 night in tended camp. Both the accommodation types were much better than expected. The safari tour was awesome. One of the best experience of my life. We saw a lot of animals (lions, cheetahs and so on) hunting or resting on the ground.
I suggest this experience to everyone.

Wonderful vacation and perfectly planned
We had great communication with Mark Hathaway from the very start. Mark was very patient with us, changing our itinerary to suit us and our price point and timeline. He was very knowledgeable about all of the lodges and camps that we planned to stay at and gave us pros and cons for each. Everything was planned to the tiniest detail. Our vacation was outstanding and we can't wait to go back. When we do we'll be using Gondwana again.

Mount Elgin with quality comfort
Comms were excellent throughout. Slight acceptable delays when the staff are in the bush but more than acceptable. Chef and tour leader were provided and did an excellent job - food was outstanding in an austere environment. A good company providing a good, honest reliable service.
