Zannon Rocks! He interpreted the needs and desires of our family of 7 and then delivered!
Zannon James of Safari 365 deserves to be commended for all the effort, skill and talent he put into planning our (7 adults) family safari. We started out in Camp's Bay - hiking, mountain biking, touring the Cape, eating and drinking our way through Cape Town, Franshoek and Stellenbosh. Next we flew to Johannesburg. The accommodations at Arthol Place were PERFECT for our family - very attentive staff and incredible food! The JoBerg and Soweto tour was enjoyed by all 7 of us. Next - Four nights at Sabi Sabi Little Bush was great! We saw the Big Five after only one day, and added the Magnificent Seven before departing for Victoria Falls. Two nights worked well there as we really only wanted to see the Falls and enjoy a night out. Next we flew to Botswana for 2 nights each in Chobe and Okavango Delta. The helicopter ride between the two was a special treat. GREAT animal sighting as well. We loved the sunset Makuro canoe safari with so many elephants.
Each of the camps were well aware of the special dietary consideration of 2 of our family members. It was clear that Zannon had prepped all of our hosts. Every detail, from warm airport welcomes, easy transfers, very caring, friendly and professional staff made what could be an overwhelming process extremely easy and stress-free. Zannon listened to what was important to us and what wasn't and proceeded to tailor-make a most successful itinerary. We've been home 2 months and we're still on Cloud Nine!

A paradise for animal lovers
I went with Serengeti African Tours and a got a knowledgeable guide in the form of Francis who made our safari unforgettable. The wildlife in Serengeti was spectacular. Not did we see the big 5, but we saw cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, etc in abundance. Our chef Ashraf made fresh local food which was delicious and comforting. It was my first experience tasting African cuisine and suffice to say I wasn't disappointed. After our safari we headed to Zanzibar and the beautiful white sand beaches were just what we needed after an adventurous safari. The clear waters provided excellent snorkelling opportunities. Overall Tanzania is not just a country, it's an experience that everyone should have on their bucketlist.

The trip planning and execution was seamless from landing until departure
“The trip during the late offseason was as you described: Ultimate! From the time we landed in Cape Town until departure from Johannesburg, 19 days later, it was seamlessly presented. The Dube and Selinda camps were comfortable, well staffed, well provisioned, and the day trips well guided. Our Duba guide: Ntebbie, the first female guide in Botswana, knew her fauna and flora well and comfortably let us experience, 3! Leopards in 4 days. This part of the world has yet to experience the tourist glut and animal pressure in the rest of the World. Try your best to keep it that way! Again, well done! Thank you."

Reliable Safari Tour Company that offers an unforgettable African adventure.
We booked three tours with Kubwa Five Safari for our Africa trip, covering six countries: Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Ethiopia. They designed customized itineraries based on our preferences and time constraints, adjusting them based on our feedback.
The team leader, Joseph, and his team at Kubwa Five Safari consistently answered our questions, addressed our concerns, and ensured the program maintained a comfortable pace for each activity. As experienced tour operators, they considered all logistical details, double-checked our flight information, reassured us about visa requirements, reminded us to bring bug repellent and take required immunizations, and advised us on proper attire for the trip.
When one of our flights was delayed, I informed Joseph. He promptly coordinated with the local team to reschedule our activities, ensuring we didn’t miss the helicopter ride over Victoria Falls in Zambia.
During each tour, their representatives met us at every connection, airport, and border, making us feel safe and well-cared-for throughout our journey. Joseph also followed up with us in each town we visited, ensuring we were satisfied with the program and our guide. Our tour guides, Samuel in Uganda and Fikru in Ethiopia went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience in their home countries. Samuel would rearrange activities or adjust the schedule to ensure we had enough time to enjoy the game drives and visit local villages. Fikru invited us to his home, where his wife prepared a delicious traditional Ethiopian lunch. She also made coffee from raw beans, roasted them over charcoal, ground them, and then brewed the coffee. It was tasty, and we all agreed it was the best coffee ever.
They were very knowledgeable about game drives, local culture, and history. Because of them, we gained invaluable experiences that will stay with us forever.
We had a fantastic month in Africa, and I highly recommend Kubwa Five Safari.

Organized, great communication and fantastic experience
Highly recommend Lion King Adventures. We booked a private tour for 6 people. The communication from Lion King Adventures in the lead up to the tour was excellent. They provided very clear communications throughout the process of planning, booking and preparing for the trip. Once the tour started everything went seamlessly and our guide (Ezekiel) was very friendly and helpful. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would recommend Lion King Adventures.
