Authentic and friendly operator, who is always willing to help
Deo is a great guy. He is always willing to help, even with special wishes. He proactively tried to build a trip, that suits our needs and we enjoyed it a lot. Even if things do not go to plan, he is there to find a solution. We had a great time with one of the experienced guides he works with, who brought us to Mikumi and Ruaha National Park on a 5 day Safari trip. We were happy to feel like supporting a local tour operator aswell as local businesses on our trip, that were selected thoughtfully by deo. Also the price felt very reasonable in general.
We already recommended "Trvl with Deo" to fellow travellers and will continue to do so.

You explain roughly what kind of (custom) trip you would like to make, and they make it happen
Booked devil's pool and a game drive in Mosi-oa-tunya with Priscilla in Vanaway's office in Livingstone. I wanted to do a longer game drive than the ones i saw being offered everywhere, so we made a custom plan together for that game drive with experienced and friendly guides. Everything was planned well with no hick ups and for any questions i could always reach out and I would get a reply within minutes. Since it all went smoothly and i enjoyed it a lot, I also booked a multi day stay in a lodge in Kafue national park from Lusaka later on my trip, including game drives and river cruises. This too was organized well, including help with transportation by public bus from/to Kafue. Im very happy with how it all went down and would book with Vanaway again if i return to Zambia :)

Best Ranger Guide ever !
I live in South Africa but in early January, I was hosting three friends from the UK and usually I love nothing better than to self-drive my friends around Kruger personally. However, due to the exceptional humid weather at the time, our sightings were not as impressive as usual, and we decided it was time to bring in the experts, otherwise known as Elephant Herd Safaris. We immediately connected with our guide Bheki, who made a bold statement early on that he would find us the big five. All we can say, is that he kept his promise to us and more ... he was extremely polite and shared his in-depth knowledge the whole day. We also enjoyed him sharing some of his own personal family stories. I would highly recommend this company and Bheki especially, although something tells me - all of their guides are just as good!

In a few days you see and learn a lot about Zambia: the culture, the nature and zambezi river.
If you want to see and learn a lot about Zambia in just 6 days then the trip of Lochinvar Safari is perfect for you. In a SUV we travelled from Lusaka to Livingstone whit 4 poeple. So it was almost a private tour. The schedule was good and flexibel if necessary. The accommodations and food were good but not luxury. Mark, how drove us safely, told and shown us a lot about Zambia. We always feld safe on this trip. The rafting and the Victoria Falls were amazing. We saw and learned a lot about Zambia in a few days for a good price.

Trust Ecological Adventures for your safari
This was the second safari we have been on with EA….the first being in 2008. Brian Mengoriki and his staff know the land, the animals, birds, flora and the relationship between. And this knowledge is used to give an excellent trip.
Our safaris with them were a blend of luxury camps and mobile tented camps…blended together and each suited for the local environment.
This is a family business that you can TRUST to give you a memorable safari that you will want to repeat….we did

Amazing! Naseeb knew all of the best places and where to go.
Naseeb is very knowledgeable and knows just about everything in Uganda. The service was great and always on time. This was one of my best trips and it was definitely on the cheaper side compared to other companies. I will definitely use Naseeb Safaris again.

This safari is good for nature lover, like camping and if you are traveling with low budget.
Safari was amazing experience. Our driver James had 20 years experience so he knew where to go and did everything that we could see all possible animals. The chef Ibrahim was so kind and made tasty food everyday in modest conditions. The tents were okay, but mattresses weren't that comfy and sleeping bags should be updated. There also were no pillows. Almost everything went good but sometimes we didn't get enough information and we needed to ask things many times. And sometimes the schedule of the day wasn't clear for us. Even though we got help when we asked something from Vicent who was from the company. He picked us up from the airport and let us leave our backpacks to the office during safari. If you manage without comforts this could be your safari.

Amazing once in a lifetime adventure with Suricata Safaris
We had an amazing 6 day private safari trip with Suricata Safaris. Couldn’t have asked for a more experienced and fun guide. We had Ezekiel who is able to spot animals from a mile away and went out of his way to make sure we saw plenty of wild life. We saw 31 lions, 8 cheetas, 3 rhinos, 1 leopard and many more. Food was delicious and plentiful. My favourite accomodation was the Suricata Bome Lodge. It was new and beautifully designed. Highly recommend going with Suricata Safaris!

They are a professional tour operator
I was lucky enough to have them arrange my tour. They promptly provided me with the quote, so that I could reserve my air ticket according to the final itinerary just in time. The initial travel vehicle was luxurious, and the hotel accommodations were very nice. I had a wonderful trip thanks to their professional work, and I hope they could have more business in the future.

Well organized Mount Kenya tour with a lovely team
We had a great time doing the 4-day hike to Mount Kenya. Patrick helped us with everything beforehand and was always quick at answering! He dropped us off at the Sirimon gate where we met with the guide and the porters. From the beginning, everyone made sure we had everything we needed. They told us about the area, cooked delicious meals for us and gave us advice when necessary! Overall a great trip!
