First Kenya Safari
Our trip with Karibu Safaris was fantastic. They arranged exactly what we were looking for and reasonably priced for two people. We just returned 4 days ago and are still basking in the wonder of it all! They arranged most of our stay at tented camps which were wonderful, not too basic and very comfortable.
Thank you to our driver for wonderful games drives, Picnic lunch in the field and keeping us on our toes pointing out the animals. Thank you to all for sharing your country, your knowledge and yourselves with us, making for a very memorable trip.

Fun and professional :D
I was with a group of volunteers, who went to Kruger nationalpark for safari in 2014. We had such good time with Neil (our tour operator). He is so much fun, and he knows so much about all the animals and the nature. He is a great guide, and we all had so much fun, so I went back the year after too, with the same tour operator. Neil told us a lot about nature, the big five, birds and all other animals, and he has a lot of funny jokes and stories to tell, so you will never be bored (even if there is some dead time, when your just driving around looking for animals). We got to see most of the animals we wanted, and it was great. I would definitely recommend Jewel of Africa Safaris to everyone! You will have a great time! :D Next time i'm back in South Africa I will definitely book a safari with Jewel of Africa Safaris again, for a third time! :D

Fantastic honeymoon safari at Madikwe Hills
My wife and I did a 5 night safari at Madikwe Hills in April 2016 at the suggestion of Justin at Paperjet Travel. The lodge and the game drives were even better than we had anticipated. We were looked after by the same Guide for the entire stay, who somehow managed to find us another spectacular sight on each game drive. The food in the lodge restaurant was delicious and the lodge staff took care of our every need. Our room had a private deck with plunge pool and outdoor shower looking out on to our personal watering hole, for constant entertainment in between game drives. The hardest thing was leaving.

Great 3-days camping safari - Tanzania Expeditions
We contacted Tanzania Expeditions after a bit of online shopping and found all the communication with Justin very straightforward and accommodating. We had all our requests sorted with no hassles, even when asking for the camp at the Ngorongoro rim instead of the proposed accomodation near Karatu. Justin sent pictures of the car and to our surprise, even being peak season, we had the whole vehicle for the two of us.
We were picked up by Justin and our driver, Godfried at Arusha airport upon arrival and taken to our hotel. The following morning Godfried took us to Tarangire NP for a 5 hours game drive. Godfried proved to be very knowledgable, patient and kind. We continued our trip to Ngorongoro, picking up our cook - and all the supplies for the rest of the trip -in Karatu, before heading to the crater rim for the night. The cook was coming from another safari tour (reason why he joined us in Karatu), so he had left everything already prepared at the camp. That saved us some precious time on arrival as we didn't have to fight for a good spot for the night (the camp was packed!) or even bother about setting up the tent. Food was delicious and we even had the visit of a massive elephant that occasionally comes to the camp.
The 6 hours game drive at Ngorongoro was the highlight of the trip and Godfried always managed to stay away from the crowds, choosing the right routes, while still paying attention to his radio and what other drivers had seen, quickly following their directions. We saw everything we wanted, except the elusive leopard we were looking for...
We spent the night in Mto wa Mbu and, again, enjoyed a very pleasant dinner with Godfried. The following morning we headed to Manyara NP for our last game drive. We had shared with Godfried our disappointment for not seeing a leopard, and there he went completely determined to find one. We extended our game drive to the limit until we finally found it, on top of a tree, just in time to drive back to Arusha for our 2pm shuttle to Nairobi.
Justin was waiting for us at the station with the tickets we had requested, and both of them stayed with us until we left, making sure we had no problems at all.
Everything was well organised, very professional, flexible and super relaxed. We wished we had more time to include Serengeti and Lake Natron in the itinerary... but that is the perfect excuse to come back for more!
If you are looking for a reasonably priced and professional tour, look no further. We will definitely contact Justin again when we come back for the Serengeti!

Wonderful experience, very well organized
Prior to flying to Africa, Dickson organized me the 2 days Masai Mara Safari via email communication, and everything became as it was expected. I felt very confident with all of the arrangements that he made.
The moments in Safari Mara were excellent and the accomodation and organization of the two days were very good, without any incident.
I recommend absolutely Adventure Africa Expedition for any trip to Kenya and I would like to thank Dickson for his support.

Definitely one of the top experiences I have had with any travel agent anywhere.
Highly recommend Cardboard Box for anyone traveling to Namibia. Allison did a fantastic job in helping us to arrange our trip. She was responsive and listened carefully to what we wanted and gave useful advice, including telling us honestly when something just would not work and suggesting alternatives. When she went on vacation the person substituting for her was also very good so there was no decline in the service.
We had an issue with Air Namibia at the end of our trip that could have been a disaster but Allison sorted it out for us (on a Saturday) even though we had booked the plane tickets online ourselves and not through her. This was an example of really going the extra mile to help the customer which is RARE in Africa in my experience.

It was an experience of a lifetime.
I have been looking on going on a photo safari for quite some time now and I really enjoyed my time in Kruger National Park. We saw a nice variety of animals and the drivers and guides were fantastic. The rooms were good and the food was home made and tasty. I was picked up promptly at the airport in Johannesburg on my arrival and dropped off at my hotel in Johannesburg as well. Everything was organized and well run. I plan on taking another safari at some point and would book again with Safari With Us without hesitation.

Wow!! Experience World Class Service with Helinas!
They lived up-to expectation and beyond. Had a most fabulous experience. From the handling of my Itinerary, my bookings, transfers, the holiday itself, it was stress-free. I'm a regular traveller on business and holiday and this time round I chose Helinas for my long overdue local holiday......to Samburu Shaba. The staff handled my family's itinerary with expertise and a great deal of professionalism. The drive was very pleasant and comfortable. The driver....soo tolerant of the little rascal; very knowledgeable as well......didn't think I would know so much more of my country's heritage...a true bonus! Helinas has surely become my lifetime partner.

Seamless process
Hello, I made just a hotel bookings through Vacay. The rates they offered were very competitive, and they were very easy to work with. I would book with them again. Thank you!
