Excellent Safari Resource
We spoke to several safari travel specialists when we began planning, and ultimately booked through TLSC. Even though we were focused on Tanzania, the range of options is still overwhelming. Rose seemed to be most attuned to our objectives - a luxury safari at a fair (albeit not inexpensive) value - in comparison to other booking companies. We booked our flights to/from the US to Tanzania, and once we passed through customs and baggage claim at JRO, TLSC took care of the rest - from airport / hotel transfers and intra-country flights to our uber-comfortable and exclusive accommodations with andBeyond Serengeti, Namiri Plains, and Zawadi Hotel in Zanzibar. We got what we asked for - a seamless, serene, intimate, and well-cared for 11 nights of adventure and relaxation.

A Seamless Experience
We booked a safari trip with Discover Africa after doing research on-line. The travel agency offered the best starting and customizable itinerary for our needs, at a cost lower than other recommended tour companies we contacted. We did a zoom call with Vihann Van Wyk to review our goals, budget and preferences and with a few minor tweaks, we built our itinerary. We were a bit apprehensive as we couldn’t find reviews on Tripadvisor, which is my go-to source, but all contacts with the company allayed our concerns.
We returned last week from our adventure. Everything went smoothly and we could not have hoped for a better experience.
The trip was absolutely wonderful. The itinerary was perfect as were all of the accommodations. We hoped the game drives would be fantastic and they didn’t disappoint. We didn’t have any expectations for the other activities, which proved to be equally as memorable. The time of year might have helped, as there were not a lot of crowds in typically popular locations. Despite it being the “rainy season” we only had 3 half days of rain during the 2 week trip, so don’t let the time of year stop you.

Wonderful experience!!
The tour was well-organized and I really enjoyed a tour. I could cover all places where I wanted to go, and all activities and views are just wonderful. My guide was very professional and a perfect guide to me - he took care of me all the time and prepared everything in advance. I like Namibia more through this tour and would like to come back again!!

Allison provided us with good service and advice for a safe and eventful safari.
We were first time traveller to Namibia. Allison responded quickly on our request, doing a self drive safari.
Allison answered our questions and changes, gave us good advice, and together we made a schedule for 18 days, with interesting drive thru the wonderful Namibian desert and coast.
We included the south, to Luderitz and Kolmanskop, which we can recommend, also route D707 on the way to Desert camp.
Swakopmund, Skeleton coast and Etosha. Cheetha view lodge was a great surprise, on the way back to Windhoek.
All lodges had very good standard, and our Toyota Raider, was well equipped, suitable on a Gravel-Travel safari like this.
We can recommend Allison and their crew, they provided all necessary assistance, with a great value for the money.

Beyond amazing
This was one of the most impressive trips in my life. We spent 19 days in this amazing country - in Cape Town and around, Kruger Park safari and Johannesburg. Absolutely wonderful to go to enjoy the sunny weather in November/December when back home it's cold and dark. Mind blowing beauty of nature, the extraordinary experience observing wildlife, authentic simple but charming places, but also super sophisticated ones - you find everything there! Sunsets, beaches, mountains, animals (beside safari wildlife you see in free nature also African penguins, seals, ostriches, baboons etc.), colourful buildings, local craft markets, live music, dances, rooftops, street art and art galleries, so yummy food, wine tastings, shopping, warm hearted people. Cape Town has this really laid back vibe whilst Johannesburg the very urban one, city of big contrasts. We loved absolutely everything! And even the regular electricity outages (you learn to manage them) made us appreciate what we taking for granted back home. A big thank you goes to Safari Bookings for our 4-days Kruger experience. Everything was so perfectly organised - the lodges and tree houses were an experience itself... then the wildlife so close - superlative of excitement. The rangers were so passionate to show as much as possible - we so all BIG 5 and so many other animals! National Geographic live. Very grateful for all what we could experience in SA. I would recommend to everybody to go there at least once in life time.

excellent trip
We had the pleasure of embarking on a remarkable safari experience in Tanzania with Safari By Z, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all expectations, and also our guide, Fadhili.
Fadhili's expertise and knowledge of the Tanzanian wildlife were simply astounding. From the moment we set foot in the Serengeti National Park, he effortlessly navigated through the vast wilderness, showcasing his unrivaled understanding of the animals and their behaviors. Fadhili's ability to spot wildlife from a distance was nothing short of remarkable, and he never failed to provide captivating insights about their habits and characteristics.
Beyond his expertise, Fadhili's passion for conservation was evident in every aspect of our journey. He emphasized the importance of preserving the delicate ecosystems we encountered, and his commitment to responsible tourism was truly inspiring. Fadhili's dedication to protecting the wildlife and their habitats served as a powerful reminder of the significance of sustainable travel.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, I wholeheartedly recommend Safari By Z and the exceptional services of Fadhili as your guide. Prepare to be amazed!

Best experience ever!
Our tailor-made honeymoon was arranged perfectly by Mike. He was very kind and concerned about our flight delay even after the tour. Our tour guide Godwin was professional and hardworking from the first meet to saying goodbye at the airport. He answered all our questions regarding animals. We were very impressed.
We stayed at Eileen’s Trees Inn, Four Seasons Safari Lodge, Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp during our trip. The hospitality at each accommodation was amazing and the food was also great.
The jeep had to be fixed on our way but Godwin dealt with it quickly and it didn’t affect us a lot. We realized that a reliable car is very important during safari. Roads were very bumpy, so there were high possibilities of unexpected accidents.
We assumed that this safari tour would become the first one and also become the last one for our entire life, but we can’t stop thinking about the next safari!!! Thank you very much for the wonderful experience. Hope to see you again!

Excellent service.
I have booked numerous international flights as well and the service has always been exemplary - changes have been made very easy and Jen and team ensure that I have the right travel documentation and even do early check in and provide boarding passes etc online.
Highly recommended for personal service.
