Liz at Zambezi Travel made suggestions and arranged a perfect trip for us with NO travel glitches!
This is a knowledgeable and high quality travel organization. Having never traveled to such an exotic location, I was a bit nervous about planning the trip. Liz exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, I sensed her competency, which made me more confident. She was able to help us understand various experiences available and plan around our interests. Emails and phone calls were answered promptly.
We enjoyed the accommodations and safari more than I can express but again, having such smooth travels was huge (especially for my husband)!

Did things that I thought I'd never do, but felt safe, knowing your workers had everything covered
Not that I had any problems but Adam was always ready to do anything that was asked of him...
I did write a few comments on a survey about air conditioning, in the bus as it did get very hot, and a toilet as a few elderly ladies found it hard to hold on and then when we did find public toilets they were terrible and no one was able to use them. I would like to say Adam, Mandale and Mzi were excellent guides and I hope you can pass that onto them, they worked so hard to please all of us, it would be nice for them to hear positive feedback from your company as they are the face of your company...oh and the food it was amazing I would love to see a camping cookbook done. love, love, loved it.
Excellent, seeing aminals in their own enviorement looking so healthy is a beautiful thing
Loved all of it... I was a little worried when leaving Australia not knowing what to expect, but once we met our guides I knew we were in good hands...I feel the guides do make the trip they were full of information and knew so much about their country and wildlife...We stayed in tents most of the time that were easy to put up and pull down and the beds were comfortable...what more can you expect on a safari other than good food and we sure did have that.
Thanks for a trip I'll never forget..

A truly fantastic experience!
My family and I enjoyed a great 5 day tour. The itinerary was excellent, the quality of hotels, the comfort and the warmth, knowledge & charm of our guide Gerard were all perfect! Extremely happy with this tour and highly recommendable to anyone that wants to enjoy the Garden Route at its fullest. We are already passing on the tip to all our friends & family. Many thanks to the crew at South African Tours!

Gametrackers helped us have an amazing custom adventure!
Our custom 16-day safari with Gametrackers was excellent. They helped us create an itinerary for the 8 of us that was off the beaten path. The office was good with correspondence and our guides Daniel (Kyalo) and Joseph (Karissa) were fabulous. They stayed upbeat even when we knew they were exhausted and they could spot animals as if they had binoculars inside their eyes! Our chef Bernard (Kimwele) was hardworking and talented keeping us fed even in adverse conditions. I couldn't recommend a better team than the three of them. I miss them and their hardworking, positive energy as well as their love for the animals and environment.

Exceeded all expectations
We had a fantastic holiday with Open Africa Safaris, far exceeding our expectations. They provided a tailor made itinerary to fit our travel dates, and went out of their way to make the holiday a success. Our safari guide was very skilled at finding and spotting animals, taking us away from the crowds, and we had some amazing close encounters.

Unforgetable safari - perfect organisation!
We booked late, had just 3 days and saw a lot!
Conversation (german!) with Miriam was easy, very helpful and friendly.
Freddie was a perfekt guide: Very hospitable and caring. He knows where to find the lions and we learned a lot about wild animals and were able to take hundreds of wonderful pictures!
It was worth it to start very early in the morning so we were about the first to arrive at Tarangire National Park.
The second day we spent at Ngorogoro-Crater.
It's worth to visit both of them - they are so different!
Our desicion to spent two nights in one lodge was very good.
We highly recommend "Rothia Valley Tented Lodge"!
It's located between this two parks, closer to the Crater.
A perfect place to stay when you are on safari! The hospitality is great!
We really enjoyed our comfortable tented room: Beautiful and clean and you're close to nature.
And a perfect example for responsable tourism.
The hosts give home to both - guests and homeless children.
On our last morning Marcel took us on a guided walk to "Coffee Corner", a nice restaurant, that belongs to the lodge, too. On this tour we learned a lot about plants and farming in Tanzania.
Freddie picked us up after we enjoyed lunch and even the way back was interesting and Freddie answered all our questions about everyday life in Tanzania.
We are very thankfull to all that made this 3 days very special and unforgetable!
Our next safari will be with Makasa, too - that's sure!

Corporate Car Service with Liza
Liza is absolutely amazing. He has a passion for tourism, wants to be sure he is making his clients happy, is such a positive and upbeat person and he knows every shortcut in the city and beyond. I will be sure that Liza is booked for all future corporate bookings and am now planning a vacation trip in May as long as Liza is my driver and guide. You have a great person in Liza and will not be disappointed.
