Great experience, from start to finish!
I booked a safari through northern Tanzania for 10 days with this company after it being referred to me by a colleague. Initial e-mail correspondence with Elias was smooth and friendly; it was easy to come up with a nice itinerary. Once landed in Tanzania, I was welcomed by John the driver, who was to be my guide, driver and most of all, my buddy during the coming days. Thanks to John, my safari exceeded my expectations, and I would like to thank him again for his professionalism, good humor and fascinating stories about local wildlife and culture. If you book a safari with this company, make sure you ask John as your driver!

Great value for money
I went with a friend for a 3-day Kilimanjaro + 4-day safari tour in Tarangire, Serengeti, Nogorongoro. Ibrahim was very responsive from the beggining, quickly replying emails. He himself picked us up from the airport. We did not bring all the appropriate clothing (hiking boots, rain trousers) to climb Kili, but were able to rent it thanks to them. The staff is very nice and helpful.
What they could do better: provide complete information about price (sudden changes in VAT increased final price and we learned about this only upon arrival), train guides to provide us with more information about places, animals, etc., be ready for special meal requirements (I got sick and was not able to eat the usual menu, but was not offered alternatives).

Unforgettable memories about Africa & Wild Wind Safaries
Beyond all expectations and wishes Martha & Philip fulfilled our long-awaited-dreams in such a manner that topped-up the experience we enjoyed trough-out our 20 days Namibia-Botswana journey. When starving fully personal attention and friendly approach to your sometimes "mission impossible" itinerary plans go nowhere else than Wild Wind Safaries. Full satisfaction guaranteed, budget limitations met and follow-up during the trip like never before; warm heartedly recommended. Shall never forget you dear Martha & Philip

Skookum,Superlative, Awesome Safari
Our Safari to probably the best National Parks in the world or its probably the biblical Noahs arc,Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire remains etched in our memories and hearts for the rest of our lives , to a greater part thanks to Antelope Safari's. The staff from the first contact on the phone when booking to the guide on the safari displayed exceeding levels of professionalism.It was a Safari organised for my wife and two children (Boy 13 years, and Girl 11 years) all of us being well travelled all over the planet and this Safari merits it being second to none. The flight bookings , the choice of Hotels and comfort in ground transportation exceeded our expectations. The staff at base were always in touch with us through out the trip and they displayed excellent telephone etiquette and professional e-communication. I would recommend Antelope Safari's, in a heart beat , keep up theGood work , you make Safari's to dream of.

Go Uniglobe = Just Forget yourself
Starting from my interaction with Esther from India to the moment we landed in Nairobi they provided every bit of cost with break up for the entire package with clarity and they were competitive...They way they took care of us in putting us in an alternate flight to Masai Maara since we got stuck in transit from INternational airport to Wilson Airport to the excellent hotels and clear connectivity they give...Uniglobe did a great job...Hope i get in touch with them soon for a family trip for the next migration....

Disappointed a real shame and ruined honeymoon
I never want to write a negative review but on this occasion I must as we were badly let down. Despite being notified at an early stage Somak failed to register that this was our honeymoon trip. In our group of 6 there was another honeymoon couple and they received special treatment but my wife and I did not, this lasted for the 7 days of our safari. This culminated with the last stage of our trip on Zanzibar when we arrived at the hotel and I told staff it was our honeymoon. However, they told us that they had not been notified of this, so we were denied the honeymoon package. I spoke with the Somak rep and he said he would pass the complaint on to his manager, and that the manager would meet us at the hotel the following day. He never came, in fact they just avoided us for the duration of the stay and did nothing. Thankfully the hotel guest relations manager became aware of the situation and stepped in to made our last three days special.
It is a real shame that we suffered this negligent communication error as the safari driver was great and he was tireless in searching for the fauna we wanted to see. Another plus was the Serena lodges we stayed at which were fantastic. To date we still have not even had a reply from Somak to offer an apology...
