Wild and "free" like animals should be
The Kruger National park s facilities was as clean as it could be, staff in shops and restaurants friendly and helpful, accommodation was clean and safe. The drive and animals as safe as they could be. Truly sad about the Rhinos being pouched and killed and that would be my only concern, they obviously need more game rangers to protect the animals

Review about Kenya by Francisco
Kenya is a beautiful country with spectacular landscapes and interesting cities. The only downside, I'd say is the security situation, which is not great.

An experience that I won't forget
What an amazing experience I had in Uganda! The communication with Richard went smoothly. He answered patiently and promptly every question I asked. Steven was a very experienced driver. He always wanted to make sure that I enjoy the trip and that if everything is ok. He mastered the rocky roads like no other. The meeting with the gorillas was unforgettable too. I got to see the whole family of gorillas which was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. The rangers were extremely helpful. They always made sure that I can get the best angle to make photos of the gorillas.
After the tour, Steven even took me to the border with Rwanda and organized for me a taxi to go to Kigali.
And I'm really glad to be the first Vietnamese to ever have booked a tour with Gatatu.
Richard, Steven and the tour itself had definitely made a good impression on Uganda and its people. That was ad adventure that I will never forget.

Perfect First Safari Experience
My boyfriend and I booked a 3D2N safari at Elephant Plains Game Lodge in Sabi Sands to round off our first trip to South Africa in November, and I could not recommend Paperjet Travel more highly. It was my first safari so I didn't have any experience booking/know what to look for, but from the very first communications Justin was incredibly helpful. He provided several options based on our requirements and budget and included additional transfer options (including private road and air transfer) - we ended up booking Elephant Plains as I had read very positive reviews on TripAdvisor about the lodge itself and the Sabi Sands reserve, and it was the perfect first safari experience! Justin always went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed, and was always very quick at getting back to all my messages and questions (of which there were quite a few!). I would definitely use Paperjet Travel again - Justin provided a 5* booking experience and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect safari holiday. Thank you Justin!

Great tour, great guide, great experience
We did the 6 days: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. We have seen so much wild animals - it was amazing. Guide/ driver Edwin is perfect: Great in spotting wild animals with a lot of knowledge about the animals and the parks. Edwin has a very likeable personality with very high service orientation. All accommodations were very high standard with very good food and big rooms.
We are very happy with choosing Pumba Safari.

Fantastic, knowledgeable and amazing experience!
I met Mussa after doing a one week safari in the Serengeti and surrounding area. The experience was truly amazing! But Mussa made it all the better. He knew the ins and outs of the area, was so caring of the environment and the animals and was extremely knowledgeable about the park, the land and everything in between. We could not have asked for a better guide to share this experience. He helped negotiate prices for local goods and visits to the Masai. He was always concerned for our safety and wanted to ensure we had the best experience possible. I will absolutely do another safari with Mussa and Roam Serengeti Safaris!!

Outstanding safari and tour services for Victoria Falls and Chobe area
We had lived in Zambia years ago and wanted to plan a special return trip, including a family safari. Friends in Zambia highly recommended Karien Kermer at Wild Side Tours. She made our planning so easy, and her recommendations for Bakwena Lodge far exceeded our expectations, while not exceeding our budget. The staff and guides there were so friendly and knowledgeable; the game drives were some of the best we’ve ever had. WST arranged for transportation to and from our friend’s home in Livingstone, and made the customs clearance so easy. All the logistics went like clockwork. I recommend Karien unreservedly and hope to make use of WST again if we can return to the Victoria Falls area.

Joyful in every way!
Rodgers was our guide for Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe NP and a sundowner on the Chobe River.
He is a very experienced guide and has excellent knowledge of wildlife and their behaviour.
He does not need a road map while driving his jeep, he knows even the smallest dirt roads by heart.
Rodgers has an open safari jeep that allows everybody to take nice pictures. The seats are very comfortable, and there is a secure space to store all your belongings far away from dust. You can even charge your cameras as his jeep is equipped with charging outlets. The fridge offers cool drinks that are very welcoming in the African heat. You can see Rodgers is very proud of his jeep as it is kept in a very prestine condition.
As he guided us around, you could feel that he will never stop loving his job. Surrounded by wildlife in picturesque Botswana, that is where Rodgers happiness lies. To have such an office must have been a dream come true!
Rodgers and his everlasting smile, we will never forget about him.
Keep up the good work Rodgers!
Wishing you a lot of adventurous tours in 2018!
If you are not sure about which guide to choose, you should definitely go for Rodgers!

A Safari 10 years in the making
An Amazing Experience! 10 years ago my parents promise me a trip to their birth country of Tanzania and it was definitely worth the wait. We booked all of our flights and accommodations on our own since I calculated it to be much more affordable that way the only issue that remained was need a Safari tour to Ngorongoro Crater. After contacting several companies who denied us service b/c accommodation and flights were already done, only a few options remained. We decided to go with Rajabu and his team from Raja Travels b/c he gave us the most reasonable quotation and the majority of his reviews were good and boy was everyone right. From the minute we exited the Kilimanjaro Airport we were immediately greeted at arrivals by Rajabu (the owner) and Freddy our tour guide and driver and taken to our hotel. The next morning we took off for the game parks. Freddy was prompt and arrived on time. My dad requested we make some stops in Arusha before we made our 4hr drive to the park and Freddy happily obliged. After reaching our hotel at Ngorongoro we called it a night. Freddy met us early the next morning with lunch in hand and we headed to the bottom of the crater. As the animals began to appear Freddy began stating some interesting facts about the animals and the crater. AS the day went on Freddy made an active effort into ensuring we saw as many animals as possible. He was able to track down 2 rhinos from afar, a very rare sighting. We left the park that evening only when we were ready too, we never felt rushed. The next day we headed back to Arusha completing our safari, but my dad make another special request last minute and Freddy without hesitation said yes. He took us to another park, Lake Manyara for a few hrs. After reaching Arusha we said by to Freddy, but also asked if he knew a local diver or taxi for hire since we had 1 extra day in Arusha. He simply asked what time we wanted to venture in town the next morning and said he would arrange it all and negotiate a price. Another driver showed up the next morning on time and took us where ever we needed.
Overall the experience with the Raja Travels tour team was amazing and was beyond what I expected. Communication was never an issue as they spoke English. They really do care about your overall experience. From pick up to drop off at the airport there was never and issue. I plan on heading back soon for another Safari and with no doubt will be contacting Rajabu at Raja Travels.
