Outstanding - Highly Recommended
My family (my wife and I and two young adult daughters) have just returned from a safari tour organised by Martin at Kingfisher Safaris and cannot recommend the service that he provided highly enough. From our very first email contact with Martin he was always incredibly responsive and extremely helpful. He first took the time to understand who we were and what we wanted so he could help to set out and book the perfect itinerary for us. Martin answered every one of our follow-up questions over several emails and phone calls amazingly quickly and effectively. He is clearly both knowledgeable and passionate about what he does.
We spent 5 days/4 nights at andBeyond Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa, followed by 4 days/3 nights at andBeyond Benguerra Island in Mozambique. The staff, service, food and accommodation in the three lodges were simply amazing; and most importantly we had spectacular game drives in Phinda and incredible activities on Benguerra Island. We very much like the philosophy of andBeyond - their support both for the local communities and for the environment is very apparent. As guests, we also like their style - relaxed but unobtrusively attentive to your every need. They aim to "go beyond your expectations" and I can honestly say they are one of the few companies that I have experienced that actually achieve this. We were frequently genuinely surprised (and delighted) by the things they did for us.
Because of our choice of locations, our itinerary required several transfers and internal flights in Africa and every single one worked perfectly - thanks to Martin who planned and booked everything for us.
We have had an amazing experience, and Martin played a key role in making it all work so well and so smoothly.
I have no hesitation in highly recommending Kingfisher Safaris to anyone who is interested in exploring the beauty and wonder of Africa.

They were efficient communicating and they solved any problem that came up
Overall the Safari was really good. We ended up so happy with it. Our driver Arony was extremely good. He was very professional, did a wonderful job showing us the animals, and always was respectful and kind. We would love to come back with him in the future

Amazing attention to details
I would highly recommend Discover Africa, especially Alice. From the very first email, she was attentive to every detail needed to develop the perfect Safari. I had no worries about lodges, transfers, or in country airline reservations. Alice developed several trips for us to choose from based on our desires. Each met every need we were looking for in our trip. She was timely in responding to last minute details as well. Most of all, Alice has been very compassionate with return trip issues. I couldn’t ask for a better travel agent and company. I will most definitely be a repeat client and recommend her and Discover Africa to others.

Fantastic Mt. Kilimanjaro Hike to Mandara Hut & Maundi Crater!
Taste of Afrika provided an absolutely fantastic experience for me, doing a one-day hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro! We climbed to Mandara Hut and Maundi Crater, with stunning views along the way. The natural landscape was stunning, and an experience you shouldn’t miss if you’re in the area & physically able. Nickson, the guide on the climb, was great! He sang songs & taught me some Swahili words to keep my energy up when it got rough. Seka, the owner is amazing! He was a great communicator and made me feel welcome, prepared, and excited about the trek both before & during the experience, going out of his way to make sure everything was wonderful for me. I highly recommend this company, you won’t be disappointed in service or experience! Thanks again, Taste of Afrika!

Incredible experience!
I am so happy that we chose to book our Safari with Safari Soles. They really took great care of us the entire time by picking us up at the airport throughout the Safari, giving us a complimentary city tour of Arusha and taking us back to the airport. Anwar, our guide, really made the experience special for us. He was very nice, funny and knowledgeable about the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. He always made sure to get a great view of all the animals, we got so lucky we were able to see 4 of the main 5. We had the opportunity to come very close and personal with the animals, making the experience that much more special. The campsites were comfortable and provided warm water. Our chef Dennis was awesome! He provided us with delicious meals, and even shared the recipe to his zucchini soup. Both Anwar, Dennis and Bryson were so nice and made us feel right at home. Thank you Safari Soles for this incredible experience!

Overall experience was good. It was my 1st experience for camping. The best part was there was private shower and bathroom inside the tent. Only the downside of the tour was the food. It wasn’t that good. But the guide was so friendly. I will definitely recommend this tour company to my friends.
