A Perfect Family experience from boiling to the Safari itself, a lifetime experience
Pre- booking Communications and booking were excellent. Timely and concise, questions quickly answered, helpful hints and checklists. Payment pretty easy even if the system looks unfamiliar.
Shortly before the trip a very good final communication from the operator, with checklists and tips as well as the contact data of the driver/tour guide.
Trip started punctually, in a comfortable vehicle, with our tour guide picking us up at the hotel for the drive to Krüger Park.
Nick Duxbury, out tour guide, is a very competent, knowledgeable and resourceful professional who knows Krüger (after a life of experience in the park) inside out. He has amazing knowledge and practical experience with animals and landscape, manages al administrative steps (Park and hotel check in and logistics) fast, discreet and efficient. We really „klicked“ very well with him with the entire family, with our youngest being 12. Knowledge and an open and friendly personality as well as a good sense of humor make him a truly great guide.
The Safari was a wonderful experience, we saw much more than expected, and it was Nick‘s experience and knowledge of the Park as well as his good communication with other guides and rangers that really made it possible to see so much. He actually put in quite some extra time and effort just not to lose the possibility of getting to see a lioness with their cubs literally at the opposite end of the park. It would not have been the same trip without him.
In summary a great experience, absolutely worth the money, and highly recommendable. When we come back to Krüger ( and we have the firm intention to do so) we will make sure to do this with Wildlife Safari and with Nick as our guide.

Luciano Tours helped me make good use of my one free day at Livingstone.
After a conference in Livingstone I had one day to spare, so signed up for a day trip to Chobe national park in Botswana. Luciano Tours made the sign-up simple and provided a full day of touring by flat-bottom boat and open vehicle. We were thrilled to see all the wildlife we had hoped to see and especially enjoyed the experience on the water. Our guide had an excellent eye and helped us spot many birds we'd have missed otherwise, and he had good knowledge of birds and animals. The border experience was interesting, and our guide helped us negotiate the visa process. All in all, it was a memorable day and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience
Our Uganda trip was beyond our highest expectations. Thank you to Ilse for organising and to our guide/driver/now friend Bob for being the best guide we could have hoped for.
Bob was the perfect guide. He was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and advised us on how to make the very most out of our itinerary at every stage. He was friendly, good natured and an excellent driver. He told us a lot about Uganda and its people. Not once did we feel unsafe the whole trip. His recommendations really made our trip.
He advised us on the best way to see chimps in Kibale and the experience was so much better than we had anticipated. When we went to Queen Elizabeth National Park to find tree-climbing lions, Bob found out that they were climbing in a different area than usual and using his local contacts, we ended up being the only car in the vicinity when three lionesses were in a tree. When we went to the place the lions usually climb the next day, we didn’t see anything. But thanks to Bob, that didn’t matter. We also saw a leopard one morning in Queen Elizabeth National Park. We expressed an interest in eating more local food and he spoke to the hotels to accommodate us.
On the last day, we arrived at the airstrip early and Bob managed to get us on the earlier flight from Kihihi to Entebbe, but via Kasese, which meant we flew over Queen Elizabeth National Park. The pilot flew low and we saw swimming elephants, hippos, crocodiles. It was madness. And all thanks to Bob.
We didn’t really know what to expect visiting Uganda, but it was one of the best trips we have done. While we had a structured itinerary, we were prepared to be flexible to take into account tips from Bob, and it really paid off.
Thank you Ilse and Bob and Matoke Tours.

The tour operator was courteous and very knowledgeable
Unforgettable safari experience in Uganda at both Queen Elizabeth national park and Murchison falls park. I would like to thank mega wild safaris LTD for a wonderful, jaw breaking experience. I had no idea of what to expect but it was 100% worth taking the trip and i would recommend all and sundry to try it out.

Best tours with Bujo
We are very happy writing this review, our guide/driver Adam and our chef Juma took incredible care of us and showed us one of this planets most extraordinary bio mes. We did the 4day safari but added two additional days on the end and came back with hundreds upon hundreds of photos of every animal you could want to see and many we didn't even know about before we left. This safari is great for you if you want to rough it just a liiiiiittle bit so you feel like you are out in the natural world, but when you need a creature comfort like a shower you can have that too. The hotel at Arusha is nice and comfortable and on the flip side the camping in Tarangire and the Serengeti is a lot of fun and isn't dangerous. Basically if you have ever camped and enjoyed it you will enjoy this. We were well fed and the guys were very accommodating if we had a need or request and we were very safe. They wouldn't let you put yourself in danger were always there with helpful advice. Really if you want to go on safari but don't have $8k-$10k to throw around I highly recommend this one. You'll see everything you dreamed of seeing and the lodges. And since hotels aren't why you come to Tanzania, you won't miss them one bit.
THANK YOU BUJO...

A wonderful and inspiring holiday perfectly planned to meet out requirements and expectations.
We know Zambia very well but had not previously been on safari there. Rose's recommendations for this part of the trip - Chongwe river House in Lower Zambezi and then Chinzombo in South Luangwa - were perfect, very luxurious and matched exactly what we were looking for. Rose also arranged all our pick ups and travel within Zambia so that everything ran smoothly and easily. It was a truly wonderful holiday!
