The tour operator provides value for money.
My first time in Tanzania with Tedwats Expeditions Africa(Kenya) was the most amazing experience in my life. Our caravan first made a stopover at Arusha. We then proceeded to Lake Manyara and spent a night there. The next day we visited the amazing Serengeti;it's worth the hype. We camped for the night. The epic of our journey was the Ngorongoro park. We flew back in the evening. Surely, I got value for my money.

Professional and very good in what they do.
My experience to Victoria falls under Tedwats Expeditions towards the end of 2023 was an amazing experience. It was worth every penny.

Awesome
Great satisfaction with this travel agency, Mohamed and Viliam arranged everything according to our requirements, arranged the accommodation we chose. They were very helpful and accommodating. The guide Simon was perfect. Thanks to him we saw all the animals we wanted to see. Even the driver who took us at the end of the Safari to Kilimanjaro airport was great and we saw Mount Kilimanjaro as well. Definitely recommend it, I have nothing to complain about.

A Value-For-Money, Out of the World Experience at Pilanesburg via MoAfrika Tours for 3D2N!
Booking a 3D2N tour with MoAfrika was a right move! I did my research on a Wednesday, sent some messages to them on WhatsApp and got my queries answered and trip booked subsequently for the Friday-Sunday!
Fuss free, easy to do online payment and transfer as well (I literally did it on the Table Mountain itself while hiking..).
The trip started with a knowledgable, dedicated driver called Alex from MoAfrika who picked me from the accommodation in Jo’Berg. We drove 2.5h to Pilanesberg with a short rest stop in between and he took me on a very informative closed van drive. Alex always seemed to be able to spot animals even while he was driving, and would explain about them enthusiastically!
I then got transferred to Bakubung Lodge and had a great stay with them! Elephants and Warthog (aka Pumbaa!) would even come super close to the lodge for a visit! Imagine having a buffet lunch and watch these animals roam just outside.
The stay was comfortable with super clean and huge room! They have top tiered services that had staff coming to clean and set up the room for you TWICE (while you are out for game drives in the morning / afternoon).
Food is crazy excellent and I experienced Bakubung’s special Friday “Lamb on a Spit” dinner and “Boma Bush Braai” aka outdoor dinner in the wild on Saturday with Afrikan style performances, romantic dinner under the stars and unlimited laughter and vibes! Note that the bush dinner was offered only on Wed/Sat when I visited.
I experienced 6 game drives in total (2 closed van, 2 sunrise and 2 sunset open 4x4) and every experience is different as you see different animals in different amount and distance! Patience is the key to really enjoy the safari, and expect the unexpected!
I recommend doing 3 days as I only spotted lions close to me on the 5th drive (3rd day sunrise).
After the entire weekend treat, MoAfrika also organised a van to drive us straight to the Jo’berg Airport. Fuss free, always reachable, Anthony from MoAfrika made sure I always get help or my queries answered ASAP.
It’s been a great pleasure doing this tour instead of the others in Kruger, as Pilanesburg is only 2.5 - 3h away by car while Kruger is at least 7 hours away! This means you get 6 drives instead of only 4 in Kruger (due to the 14 hours required to travel to and fro Jo’berg by car).
All in all, I am glad I took that leap of faith to book the tour even though it is out of my budget… But the experience is unforgettable and you’ll definitely have a good time for the whole tour and feel like an esteemed guest!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! A perfect 3-day Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Our very first Safari, an experience we will never forget. Among many operators, the choice fell on Dallas African Safaris, as the offer and arrangement seemed very professional. Something we do not regret today! Tunu organized and coordinated the whole arrangement, he arranged transport to and from the airport, plane tickets, accommodation etc. All information was sent both by email and WhatsApp, where he also quickly answered other questions we had about the safari.
Tunu and his team welcomed us at the airport in Arusha, where we got an immediate feeling that this was a nice group.
The food and accommodation were also impeccable. We probably feared a little about what it would be like before we left, but there really was nothing to fear. A proper breakfast, lunch and dinner was served every day, in addition to having plenty of water, soft drinks and anything else you might want to drink. We were greeted by nice people at all the accommodations, a unique experience just spending the night in such national parks where the animals wander a stone's throw away and you can hear the sound of several of them at night. Must also point out that it was clean and tidy, and it felt safe.
Last but not least, our dear guide Assad. Incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant and accommodating. He had many years of experience with Safaris in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, an absolute advantage with all those roads in the national parks. He guided us safely through the safari and we were lucky to see all the animals we had hoped for, plus much, much more! Incredibly interesting and rewarding to hear him share his knowledge of the animals, their characteristics, what they feed on, their way of hunting, their migration patterns, habitat etc. I especially noticed his passion for birds, which we thought was funny! Also spoke very good English. In short: a joy to be on tour with Assad.
We were also lucky to have a photographer, Abdulrahman. Skilled, passionate and committed! A breath of fresh air, which offered a lot of itself. There were many good conversations on the trip!
Thanks to Tunu and his good team - a group we strongly recommend going on an adventure with. We enjoyed ourselves!
So with that, we have only one thing to say: choose Dallas African Safaris for a seamless, educational and one-of-a-kind experience.

Fantastic!
We highly recommend Bush 2 City to help you plan your African Adventure!! We worked with Jackson Solomon, the principal, for more than 6 months to plan our trip. He was incredibly helpful and responsive in the planning stages, giving us a range of options including cost and understanding our trip objectives and desires. Jackson provided excellent customer service during the planning and patiently answered a series of emails with many questions, issues and concerns. Our group of six was extended family with different ages, abilities and desires and the trip was a hit with everyone!
All of our travel arrangements between Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania were seamless. We were met in Entebbe Uganda and escorted though unfamiliar territory (customs/immigration, etc). A big thank you to all of our Safari guides – Gordon in Uganda, Samuel in Kenya and Nickson in Tanzania- they were wonderful, knowledgeable, and patient. They were all very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the best times and places to spot them as well as educating us about their communities. All of the lodgings selected by Bush 2 City were very comfortable including the remote “bush camps.” All of the personnel in each of the bush camps were very friendly and welcoming, provided great service and became part of our family during our stays. The food served at each lodging was great – even with vegetarian options and the coffee was always good! It was truly the trip of a lifetime! We would definitely use Bush 2 City again!!

A very efficient company to deal with who provided and excellent value for money safari.
When we first started to plan a safari for our honeymoon we were a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of different companies offering what seemed to be very similar packages.
First impressions count for a lot when faced with lots of options. We initially went with Sunset Safaris because they were very prompt with coming up with a full itinerary and rough price guide. The other companies either simply copied and pasted example tours from their websites or took a long time in getting back to us.
Anna was very efficient from the outset, she was excellent at responding quickly and happy to make as many changes as required right up until we departed. We felt reassured by this level of professionalism.
Our trip itself was wonderful. Our vehicle was comfortable (very important as you do spend a lot of time in the car) and Sele, our local guide, was very conscientious when it came to keeping it clean. All of the accommodation was great and exactly what we had been hoping for. Sele was knowledgeable without being overbearing and was happy to stop whenever we asked him to for photos, even if it meant arriving later than planned to scheduled stops. We now realise that safari days are very long hours for the driver, so very much appreciate Sele spending 8 days away from his family with us. He always had a smile on his face and was always on time for every meeting!
Overall we had an amazing 2 week holiday, Sunset Safaris organised the entire trip for us, including finishing the holiday with a few day on Zanzibar - which was also great. We're delighted we chose them. Fantastic value for money too!

I feel deeper in love with nature
Tedwats Expeditions Africa, gave me a very coordinated and satisfactory tour in Zanzibar, having anxiety in travelling to new places, the guides made sure I was very comfortable. Prison island, swimming with turtles and forodhani food market stood out for me. Photography was on check, I really got the value for my money and I'll be using their services again and again and again.

They were thoughtful, helpful and creative
Our guide was very knowledgeable, considerate and very hard working. He looked out for our needs and provided a lot of local information which was invaluable. When we faced difficulties during the trip the COO took time to call and talk through our options and they were very supportive in adapting from there on. I would recommend Speke Uganda to anyone considering visiting.
