Amazing experience
We had a really wonderful safari tour in Pilanesberg. Peter took us around the park and did a great job. He was very nice, professional, and helped us spot some amazing wildlife. It was a beautiful experience from start to finish. We highly recommend taking a tour with him.

The tour operator has WeChat, and deposit can be paid in RMB.
I took an 8‑day group safari tour with Eta Adventure Safaris. I am a solo female traveller from China. Eta Adventure Safaris operates together with Super Eagles.
Pros:
1. They have WeChat support. The deposit can be paid in RMB via WeChat, only 10 % of the full payment. It makes communication much easier whenever any issues come up during the trip.
2. Airport pick‑up and drop‑off services are free of charge.
3. I selected my own hotels and asked them to make advance bookings for me. All check‑ins went smoothly.
Cons:
1. Fixed group tours cannot be customised. I really wanted to see the wildebeest river crossing, which requires long waiting by the Mara River — some groups wait from 6:30 until 14:00. On shared group safaris you have to accommodate every passenger, so sightings depend purely on luck.
2. Tour guides are assigned randomly, so experience varies greatly. My first guide John was excellent and gave me a wonderful start to the trip. However, my second guide was consistently one to two hours late. We filed a complaint and got him replaced.
Summary:
Group tours bring together travellers from all over the world to share travel stories, which suits outgoing people. I would say this operator is worth considering if you book their shared group safari. It is a relatively large local agency. I met another Chinese tourist whose agency was terrible: that provider downgraded her accommodation without consent, charged for airport transfers and ignored her formal complaints.

Friendly and patient
Motion Safaris Uganda provided excellent communication from start to finish. The guides were friendly, professional, and reliable. The tour was well organized, offered great value for money, and created unforgettable memories.
Professional. I hope they stopped us for a good lunch place.
Cab driver Tiyani was both friendly and professional. The drive was good except that I wished they stopped for a good lunch place on the way to the lodge. I am
A vegetarian and didn’t find much to pick up at the brief stopping point.

They are so friendly and great
I had a wonderful day. The only sad thing was that we didn't see any lions despite the driver's best efforts. I'm so happy I did this safari tour. It was so exciting and wonderful to be so close to the animals.

Excellent for arranging last-minute safari to one of the big five, the rhino.
Great safari organiser who is flexible, solution-oriented and organised a last-minute safari in Zambia.
We had to pleasure to work with Matthias who we contacted on the day before a safari. He perfectly organised a tour to see rhinos in Zambia.
From the moment we were picked up to the moment we dropped off everything worked smoothly.
Good guides, good border crossing. And fantastic meeting with rhinos.

A Dream Safari Thanks to John and Emanuel
My partner and I booked an 11-day safari with Top Selected Tours, and overall we had an unforgettable experience that we are happy to recommend.
Once we met our guides, the safari became exactly the trip we had been dreaming of. Emanuel, our safari chef, went above and beyond to prepare delicious meals every day and always made sure they suited our needs. We really appreciated the care and effort he put into every meal.
Our guide, John, was exceptional. He listened carefully to what we hoped to see, searched specifically for our favorite animals, and somehow managed to find them every time. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, animal behavior, and the different landscapes made every game drive both exciting and educational. We always felt safe, well looked after, and benefited greatly from his experience.
While the safari itself exceeded our expectations, there were unfortunately several organizational issues at the beginning of the trip.
After arriving, we were asked to pay unexpected transportation charges that had not been communicated or agreed on in previous emails.
According to our itinerary, the first day was supposed to include a visit to Moshi and an introduction to the safari. Neither of these things happened.
In addition, at the first few lodges we had to contact the company several times because our booked meals had not been included in the bookings and had to be corrected afterwards.
Despite these organizational shortcomings, the safari itself was outstanding thanks to John and Emanuel and all the other guides we met along the journey. With clearer communication and better attention to the arrangements made before the trip, the overall experience would have been perfect.
Highly recommend Axis and Jimmy in particular.
Really good trip. Good value and got to see so many animals including loads of lions, giraffes, wildebeest, cheetah, zebra, various antelopes and even a leopard which is super rare. Our guide, Jimmy, was absolutely fantastic. Amazing at finding animals, super knowledgeable and friendly, extremely hospitable, kind and maximises value for guests, going the extra mile. Highly recommend Axis and Jimmy in particular.
