A trip of a lifetime with the most experienced Guides
African Jacana Safari Tours is citizen-owned safari company started by Gideon Kamutati, one of the most experienced Guides in Northern Botswana. Gideon and his Sales & Reservations Manager Gally helped me to organise the tour for our group (8 persons) very professionally. They promptly replied back on every email, provided me with a helpful informations about the safari, guided us very smoothly with incredible efficiency and patience through the decision making process. Their itinerary fulfilled all our needs for a very competitive price. Upon arrival, Gideon and Gally were expecting us at the airport and we started our incredibly memorable 14-days mobile Safari trip. The tour exceeded all our expectations. Everything was organised perfectly. Pickups and transfers were on time. We spent 3 days on a lonely island in the Okavango Delta with boat cruises in the traditional mokoro boats. We visited Moremi, Savuti and Chobe –very diverse and amazing areas in Botswana. The beautiful landscape and the amount of wildlife we saw in each place were just amazing. We spent our days with game drives and breathtaking encounters with wild animals. The huge value of an experienced professional guide is. that he will bring you at the right time to the right place. By reading their tracks, Gideon guided us very close to the predators, elephants and hippos. We felt entirely safe, because he knew their habits so well. Gideon shared his tremendous knowledge, deep understanding and respect of the nature with us. We learned a lot about wildlife and the ecologic system and about the people of Botswana. When we returned from our game drive in the afternoon to our beautiful campsites, we were welcomed by Daddy, our camp manager and our chef Wilson with coffee and tea. Our tents were clean, spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed the luxury of a private bathroom in the back of our tent, foldable beds and mattresses, sheets and pillows, warm water and the freshly baked bread in the morning. Wilsons meals were delicous. It was a real pleasure to spend our time with Wilson, Daddy and Gideon, watching „bush TV“ around the campfire, talking, laughing and singing together. It was hard to say goodbye!
We highly recommend African Jacana Safari Tours. These guys are extremely professional, friendly, environmentally-conscious and caring. Support local entrepreneurs in Botswana and have your trip of a lifetime!

Dream Comtrue!
It was not an experience, it was a dream come true, the people who accompanied me and my husband were and are our friends, we arrived with the expectation of meeting and seeing a few animals, but Kidorie Adventure showed us a whole world, showed us the life in its total reality.

Excellent tour operator, reliable, great communication and worth all the money!
We went for a four day/three nights safari in Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We booked it from home a week earlier with Safari Soles. The communication with Bryson was very efficient, he answered quickly and gave us all the details we needed to know. Our driver/guide took us to the best places and we were lucky to see all the big five of Africa! He had very good driving skills and he stopped whenever we wanted to take pictures. Bryson prepared for us a small backpack with everything we needed (mosquito repellent, some snacks, some wine) and the water and the food were great and enough. We were very happy with choosing Safari Soles and we are anxious to come back to Tanzania and go to another safari with them! :)

Excellent, well organised
Communication was clear, and very frequent. Martin was available on watsapp, and I called when needed.
We planned together and as we had a large group, Martin tried to incorporate everyone’s ideas. I stepped in when long early morning trains were suggested, but Martin easily corrected this.
In a (what people say) dangerous city like Nairobi we never felt scared and all transport was organised with great timings.
Overall, I would definitely recommended let’s go travel and a special thanks to Martin for organising. I will use them again when I return to Africa.
Thank you Let’s go travel and Thank you Martin!

Great welcome with very kind and help-full people at the Camp close to the Selous game-reserve.
We had a warm welcome from de people of the camp (Selous Game Reserve). I felt directly save and at home. Our room was very well furnished, clean and in African style. A nice, big bed, ceiling fans, mosquito net atmospheric lighting. Comfortable bathroom with warm and cold water.
A round pool to cool down.
The restaurant is well equipped and we enjoyed the breakfast, lunches and dinners. Also good possibilities for my vegetarian wife. I enjoyed the bar.
The parc-visit was exciting: in an open car we saw many animals and the driver know how to take care. Elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, crocodiles, hippo's, lions, vultures and a lot of other different birds, waterbucks, and zebra's. The driver had a lot of knowledge of the nature and the animals.
I really felt in contact with the African nature also because it was pure not too touristy.

Beautiful encounter in and with the heart of Africa
All arranged smoothly by Paradise and Wilderness we arrived at the beautiful Africa Safari Camp. We really liked the natural appearance of the accomodation, the friendly people at the camp attending our every needs, and the way the camp is situated in the middel of nature.
Besides the Game Drive with experienced driver/guides, you can join a riversafari, a bush walk and a visit at a local village. The bush walk was informative, and entertaining, ending with making a fire the Masaai-way. It was great fun. The bootsafari in the early morning was enchanting, the broad Rufuji river with the high banks. And off course we spotted a few hippo-families, resting in the water to hide from the sun. In the middle of the Camp is a nice pool, particulary suitable for a refreshing bath. I really appreciate the way they find a balance between nature and comfort. I will not easy forget the beautiful starry nights at the bonfire with the sounds of the little animals like the bushbaby and the crickets. Everything was very clean and everyday clean towels waited for us folded in a beautiful way with some flowers from the garden.
