Fantastic custom packages, exceptional service and professional and courteous staff.
This was truly a wonderful experience. This was my first safari and trip to Africa. They listened to what I wanted to do, made recommendations and put together a fantastic travel package.
From transfers, accommodation, sights and activities, everything was well organised and on time. The customer service and communication was exceptional and really made this holiday as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
If it is a hassle free memorable holiday experience you are looking for, then it is a pleasure for me to recommend African Welcome Safaris. They will definitely have my repeat business in the future.

Awesome Safaris
I would like to thank Kenneth and his team for organizing an awesome safari for us. We simply gave him our expectations and he did plan us a very wonderful safari for us. To our surprise the safari was really personalized and very affordale.
We were able to change some few things here and there while on the safari with no extra cost. We would like to recommend Kikwetu Cultural Adventures to anyone who wish to visit Kenya and Uganda. Congrats Kenneth

An amazing experience, good service, delicious food, nice people, I would definitely recommend it!
I went on a five day safari with Lindo Travel, and it turned out to be an amazing experience! When we were looking for a safari company online, they gave us a lot of advice and helped us to make a suitable travel plan. They were flexible and responded quickly on email. The price was low compared to the other offers we got. We started from Arusha where they picked us up the first day. We had a great guide who knew a lot about the animals and the area. And a great cook who made great dishes. They really knew the parks and they took us to the best spots. Service was great! I would definitely recommend Lindo Travel and hope I can go on safari with them again in future!

4 Day Rwanda Tour - Gorillas, Golden Monkeys, and Lake Kivu
Organising our tour through Africa Adventure Safaris was extremely easy and they worked with us to develop a full programme that timed in perfectly with our other travels. Given the time difference between Uganda and Australia, communications from Africa Adventure Safaris were always timely and they provided the answers or information we were seeking. Our tour guide, Enos, greeted us at Kigali airport and our first impressions were great. He was very friendly and throughout the tour courteous and willing to go out of his way to do anything for us. We were very comfortable with him. He was highly knowledgeable and took us on what can only be described as an absolutely amazing tour. 4 days was definitely not enough time to travel from Kigali to Musanze to track gorillas and golden monkeys, then down to Lake Kivu to experience such as a beautiful and relaxing place. The vehicle we travelled in was new, clean and comfortable. The hotels that we stayed at were all excellent and much better than we expected. The food was fantastic also. The trip went perfectly smoothly and we had no issues at all with the service. All of our expectations were surpassed and Rwanda is an amazing country to visit.

Great Experience in unspoilt wilderness
The whole trip was very pleasurable and well organized. We were met at the airport by Tony the MD making us very welcome. Our trip was mainly to Kidepo national park, the journey was long and the roads were bumpy in places but well worth it. Our guide Hamid kept us well informed about the places we drove through and the wildlife we encountered along the way, as well as expertly keeping the vehicle on the road. Our accommodation at Nga'Moru Wilderness Camp (don't let the name fool you) was very nice given its location right on the edge of the park - very effective solar heated shower! The highlight was Hamid tracking down a leopard one afternoon even though it was hiding in some long grass. Most days started and ended with brilliant game drives in the national park itself. We fell in love with the place and we highly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays as nothing was too much too much ask (well delivered).

You cannot go wrong with Safari Infinity
Full disclosure: we knew Sam and Lucia Kombe personally before coming to Tanzania, which is why we had no problem putting our safari experience completely in their hands from day one. We requested semi-luxury accommodations and a taste of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, but other than that, we just brought our luggage and open minds and let Simon and Lucia take care of the rest, which they did with great knowledge and sensitivity.
One thing that sets Safari Infinity apart is the quality of their guides. An experienced guide himself, Sam understands the importance of employing only the best talent, treating them fairly and respectfully, and trusting them to make informed decisions in the field. This makes a huge difference. We met several of Safari Infinity’s drivers, and talked to them about their studies, experiences, and passion for the bush; and every one was imminently qualified and filled with humility for the nature of their profession.
Fasal was our guide. More than just an excellent driver (the roads can be treacherous), Fasal was an able mechanic, a scholar of native flora and fauna, an expert tracker, a master of languages, and a keen and patient observer of behavioral patterns, both animal and human. Fasal was sensitive to even the slightest indicator of discomfort, be it dust or dehydration, and moved swiftly and deftly to rectify the situation. He was playful and fun and always set you at ease. Furthermore, nearly all the other drivers knew him, and greeted him with a friendly and sincere respect.
Below is the itinerary of our safari: a short but sweet four-day, three-night affair.
Day 1 > Arusha > Tarangire> Ngorongoro Farmhouse.
Day 2 > Karatu > Serengeti > Kati Kati Tented Camp
Day 3 > Serengeti > Ngorongoro > Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge
Day 4 > Ngorongoro Crater > Arusha
Lucia also arranged for us to spend a weekend in Zanzibar, which was absolutely fantastic.
Lucia and Sam are truly dedicated to providing the best service. There were many “special treatments” we thought we were receiving because of our friendship, only to learn later that they do these things for everyone! Our trip allowed us to see a bit of the operational side as well as the client’s point of view, so we can attest to how hard everyone at Safari Infinity works (sometimes into the wee hours of the morning) to make everyone’s trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were constantly amazed at the extra acts of kindness that they offer, not only in service to their clients, but in giving back to the larger community as well. You cannot go wrong with Safari Infinity.

Review about Namibia by Alec C.
The landscape is so varied in can be like travelling through three countries in one day, the wildlife and scenery are fabulous and the lodges are generally excellent.
Fantastic safari
From the moment we were picked in Johannesburg, we knew we had chosen the right tour operator. Hoppy, our driver, was caring, very knowledgeable about wildlife and looked after us very well. We stayed two nights in the Kruger National Park and one night at Mohltabesi Private Lodge. Our safaris were brilliantly organised and we were fortunate to see many species of wild animals close up and beautiful birds in abundance.
We would thoroughly recommend Wildlife Safaris. At every stage we had personal attention and felt well cared for.

The best experience ever!
If there truly is a vacation of a lifetime, our Journey Beyond safari was it. Journey Beyond was the key difference that turned our adventure into the most exciting, beautiful and unforgettable experience ever.
First off, we never once had to worry about any of the travel logistics. Journey Beyond took care of everything. There was a Journey Beyond representative at the airport gate literally walking us to the front of the custom line, picking up our bags, making sure our hotel rooms were ready. We even enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the owners home. With all the VIP attention we were getting, we had other travelers wondering why we were so special.
Moving on to the safari itself, Journey Beyond made great accommodation recommendations. We chose the Singita Lodge. The lodge staff knew well in advance that we will be celebrating my wife's 50th birthday. She spent her birthday like no other. Turning 50 never felt so good. The entire lodge crew came out to sing her happy birthday. Our safari guide surprised my wife with a white linen draped table with champagne and treats at sunset right out in the middle of the bush. Seriously, I almost thought I heard the theme song to "Out of Africa" at that moment. Returning from the afternoon trek, dinner was already set up for her in our room with decorative flowers, rose petal bubble bath...on and on. You just can't get better than that!
We consider ourselves well-travelled, but Journey Beyond makes every effort to ensure your vacation goes beyond your expectations! For us, they succeeded beyond a doubt!
