5 days tour to Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth
I had Hamza as my driver guide for 5 days and he made every effort to ensure my time in Uganda was a trip of a lifetime. The itinerary was jam packed and I got to do see everything I hoped to see (gorillas, chimps, elephants, climbing lions, and buffalo to name a few). My tour consultant, Robert, was also there at the beginning and end to make sure I had everything I needed in the beginning and feedback at the end. Overall, I would highly recommend Tourland Uganda and will use them again when I visit again.

Reliable company, right one to choice
Elieza and his team, they were more than a safari company for us. He and his team was really helpful during our honeymoon. They gave us a complete package which offers pick up and drop up to airport even for our local flights to zanzibar. We stayed in his house for 2 nights in a private room as guests. His team, his friends was great. He let us to leave our extra baggages in his house and next week we came and take them without any problem. He is so reliable and kind person. Actually the safari was 4 star because the night we spent at the camp site near ngrongoro was too cold but our sleeping bags were so thin(they would be more prepared for that). Thus we couldn't even sleep that night but when we wanted to end the safari 2 days earlier than we agreed before, he refund that 2 days amount as reasonable. I highly recommend him and when i looked at back and evaluated our whole holiday with his team, they definetely deserve 6 stars, not even 5!!

Great safari tour guide at affordable prices - wonderful experience!
We travelled to Kenya for our honeymoon this year. Of yourse, we wanted to go on a safari as well. A friend of mine who is in Kenya very often recommended to contact Gabriel.
We booked the safari tour with Gabriel via email. My husband and I wanted to go to Tsavo East National Park and to Amboseli national park, so Gabrial planned the entire 5-day trip out for us - including accommodation etc. He took us to beautiful places, showed us around not only in the National Parks but also on the way to and from there, and patiently answered all our questions (and we did have many!) with regard just anything: animals, culture, politics.... you name it. Besides, he was always happy to change plans at the last minute to cater for our needs, e.g. to get cash on our way to a national park or to go to a supermarket to buy sweets for the local children.
On the bottom line, we are so happy that we booked our safari with Gabriel. He is a very likeable, knowledgeable person and we felt comfortable with him throughout the tour. We will definitely come back to Kenya and book another trip with Gabriel, and we can only recommend anyone to do so as well!

An absolutely amazing trip
Over the summer I spent 7 weeks in Uganda. Being my first time to Africa, and as a female traveling alone, I decided to book a tour for the first part of the trip.
I did quite a lot of research, and after much thought decided to go with a company owned and run by locals. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I made the right choice, and that the trip was worth every single penny I paid. For 19 days I had the luxury of comfortably traveling the country in the company of my fantastic guide.
Patrick was incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited and the wildlife. He had worked in many of the parks before joining Encounter Africa Safaris, so he knew the best places for spotting animals. I saw pretty much everything: leopards, tree lions, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, monkeys, chameleons... and of course, gorillas!
The trip was a good mixture of nature, culture and adventure, and I felt safe and well taken care of at all times.
Thank you, Encounter Africa Safaris and Patrick, for making this a memorable summer! I will definitely go back:)

When did you go
We arrived at Drive Tanzania Ltd. Uganda Safari Pickup stops and from there our guide took us on a tour of nature. We booked Uganda and Rwanda Gorilla Safari 5 days for our family. The safari started with a professional guide taking us to different spots of importance and telling us about them in full details. Let me tell you that our entire family has a great interest in adventure and nature and with Drive Tanzania Ltd. Uganda Safari, it was like getting what we have ever desired. We saw many gorillas in their natural habitats and must admit what an amazing creature they are. The services of Drive Tanzania Ltd. were commendable as we had a professional guide, comfortable travel car and well planned and scheduled tour to explore the jungle. We surely recommend their services to all nature enthusiasts. They are the best, thanks, Drive Tanzania Ltd.

surely plan another safari expedition with you guys
It was last summer me and my family booked a safari tour of South Africa with Drive Tanzania Ltd. We have explored Kenya before and were aware of the services and charges of these safari companies; the thumb rule is negotiation and you will get the price. But, surprisingly, with Drive Tanzania Ltd. the prices were already great. We had a great time exploring the secrets of South Africa and the services offered by the company throughout were awesome. My young daughter loved the safari the most as she is a curious bird watcher. Thanks to our guide, he offered her curiosity enough information to feed upon. Our guide was professional and has much mannerism to treat his guests. It was the best one week out with my family and you guys made it perfect. The trip was both fun and educational and we will surely plan another safari expedition with you guys.

Off2Zimbabwe
We visited Zimbabwe from the UK in 2016. Our trip had us visiting Harare, Matopos, Bulawayo, Hwange, Vic Falls and back to Harare in 2 weeks. Beck and Tiffany helped us plan and book the trip, including our car hire for the 2 weeks and an internal flight. We had exchanges of emails and calls in advance of the trip, discussing camp and hotel options.....in the end we had a wonderful trip that went off without a glitch. With the Off2Africa team you are in safe hands; we have since recommended them to friends who are keen to travel into Southern Africa.

Fabulous bush camp experience at Mana Pools!
We had 3 wonderful days at a Natureways bush camp on the banks of the Zambezi at Mana Pools. The staff were excellent, very friendly, capable, professional and helpful. We were treated to some outstanding "bush tucker" - the food that was produced from an open fire and a camp oven was worthy of any high quality restaurant with modern facilities. The bush facilities were all very comfortable, the bucket showers and pit toilets clean and functional and we felt very well looked after. The camp was in a lovely location with views of the Zambian escarpment and the river, with an amazing array and variety of wildlife to view all day, as well as fascinating sounds through the night. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone interested in camping, wildlife and the environment, outdoor experiences or just good food and company!! Thank you Natureways!!

Amazing, Amazing Safari Adventure!
Our safari adventure with Zohar African Safaris was amazing and, as clichéd as it sounds, was truly the trip of a lifetime!
Lilian IS Zohar African Safaris and that is what makes her safaris so truly memorable; she is prompt, professional, and patient in responding to all inquiries—from initial feeler emails through to the final plan. Lilian listens to what you have in mind and fine-tunes your adventure while keeping in mind any budget considerations—she personifies the very best (and beyond) in customer service.
As a Shabbat-observant, kosher-keeping family, Lilian provided service that was, simply, unimaginable! She purchased a set of dishes, cutlery, and pots that travelled with us to all of our accommodations AND she called each of the lodges to explain our dietary needs. We always ‘manage’ on our annual family trips, but this concern and respect for our beliefs was, well, it is hard to find the words. (These parve dishes are ready and waiting for the next kosher family!)
From airport pickup by our wonderful guide David Dexter to meeting Lilian later the same day, we had no doubt we were in the best of hands!
Our 10-day safari was exciting from first to last and we—2 adults and 2 teens—still can’t quite believe everything we saw and experienced. Speaking of teens, Lilian’s planning included experiences that were perfect for them, well, for all of us—bicycling in a nature reserve, lunching with a local family, an authentic visit to a Bushman tribe, as well as seeing the work of a metal-working tribe.
A few words about David who is hands down a 5* guide; our boys still talk about him as he interacted with them on a personal level by, for example, playing Israeli and Tanzanian card games with them in the evening! David has a BA in Wildlife Management and is a font of information which he passes along in the most interesting manner; he is great at spotting and explaining wildlife.
Zohar African Safaris, with Lilian at its helm, is a professional and caring company that will make every effort possible to ensure that you have the safari trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend this personable owner and her company!
