Safari on the go
On a Saturday, I'd decided I wanted to go to South Africa. Yup. I managed to get last minute tickets from Delta for Sunday early morning flying from Montreal, a stop by Atlanta, and finally to Pretoria. While I waited at the airport to fly to South Africa, I got the idea that THE thing to do in South Africa would be to go on a safari – little did I know people planned and booked a year in advance to for these sort of trips. In between airport WI-FIs, I contacted many people from safaribookings.com. They were all quite nice, but they all gave me the same answer that this was really a last minute request and they couldn't really accommodate.
Then I contacted Adventure Anywhere and Ryan replied that despite the difficulties, he could work something out. I only needed a few email exchanges in-between connecting flights to have a 4 day safari planned. By the time I landed in South Africa, it was as easy as a few follow up calls where I was put in contact with Doug. Doug was an expert guide, but more than that, he managed to negotiate a last minute bush walk which was the ultimate experience of the whole trip. I'm sure I wasn't the easiest of client to deal with, but Adventure Anywhere was able to accommodate what was essentially a hard ask from me, and for that I highly recommend them.
If I was able to get a great experience with little planning, I can only image what they can do with some more leeway.

Wonderful experience!
It was our first time on a safari and it was a wonderful experience! We saw 3 of the big 5, but that was no big deal. We did see a rare black rhino as well.
The best part was the surprise bush braai, which was really amazing!

Wonderful Honeymoon - thanks to Ker Downey Africa!
We will not think twice about using Ker Downey Africa for all our future travels. Their level of professionalism is of the highest standard and I have to compliment them on the friendly and attentive manner in which all our many, many questions and requests were dealt with (especially since I can be a bit of a perfectionist!). We decided to spend our honeymoon in Seychelles but wanted to experience two of the islands, which meant organising two hotels, extra connecting local flights and additional transport to and from the airport - not to mention researching double the amount of room options and honeymoon specials... All of this while having a wedding to plan! Handing over all the planning to KDA was one of the best decision we could have made. We gave them our budget and they took care of the rest! Everything was arranged up to the last little detail!

Kilimanjaro - Machame route
In January 2015, I climbed Kilimanjaro through the Machame route together with four other climbers. We all made it to Uhuru Peak thanks to wonderful and professional guiding from Chacha. I highly recommend him.

Turkana Tour
My son and I enjoyed our Turkana trip immensely. We would recommend it to anyone. The food was basic but good. The tents were comfortable though I was glad I had my son to help me put it up. Overall, a great time!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Chacha Tours Africa made our experience in Tanzania an unforgettably amazing one indeed! All the way from swift booking organisation to hiking help and recommendations before the trip to friendly guides and a safe and truly enjoyable hike up Kilimanjaro. The Chacha Tours Africa team is professional, reliable and so much fun to tour with. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to organise tours in East Africa.

Memorable trip, perfect organization
Mu husband and me wish to warmly thank Easy Travel and Tours for the wonderful stay in Tanzania, and that we do not forget. An African safari is once in a lifetime experience and we have chosen the right travel agency. During the planning, Beatrice Mushi, the consultant, was helpful and always quick to reply to our e-mails and many requests. Seddik,our driver/guide was nice, available, patient and really good at finding animals. Perfect organisation, excellent porposals of lodgings; without a doubt, we will recommend Easy Travel to our friends.

Absolutely astounding trip to SA
We traveled in 2011 (all 10 of us) and had an absolute blast of a time in SA, everything was very well organised starting from our hotels to transport and touring days.
All our guides were on time and weather was as if it was pre-arranged. :)
Food, the sights and sounds were everything me and my group expected from Africa. Sheilagh, all our guides and hotel staff were the most polite, helpful and loving people. They were gracious to us everywhere that we went and helped with any extra's we needed organizing last minute.
In conclusion, South Africa has stolen our hearts. We loved the place, we loved the people, the spirit of South Africa, the wine, the food, and seeing the animals (3 of the Big5) was one of the highlights in our life. I think SA is a perfect family vacation as well as a great getaway for a honeymoon couple. Just make sure to make use of an agent. (doing so yourself online proves rather troublesome, especially when it comes to seeing things that not many see)

Amazing hike to Kilimanjaro!
One of the best experiences in my life. The guide and the porters did an amazing job, and without their help and good spirit we would never have had such an amazing experience. They where always there with an helping hand, a good mood, and when you started feeling exhausted, they sang, and brought everyone’s mood up. I was very impressed by the food, and they even surprised one of the hikers in our group with a birthday cake. I almost can’t describe how amazing they where, and how far they went to make our experience the best. I am forever grateful, and can absolutely recommend Chacha tours. If it wouldn’t have been for Chacha supporting me one the summit night, I wouldn’t have made it to the top. I will never forget Chachas ”high five with power”. Always smiling and in a good mood. Thank you, Chacha. Hope I will make it back some day.
