Superb: If I could give six stars I would!
Booking a safari with companies 4k miles away always brings with it some risks and worries (you only need to read the various reviews to see the problems that people can encounter) but I must say that in my experience with Shemeji I have encountered nothing but professional and excellent service. My mother, myself and my two children (21 & 24) booked a 6 day private safari of Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and it exceeded all of our expectations; in fact, I fail to see how it could have been any better. This was not only due to the flora and fauna but also the painless arranging of the trip (Emma), the excellent accommodation, the superb guide (Freddy - a very knowledgeable and pleasant guy who clearly loves his job and who we very much enjoyed spending the week with) and the very reasonable price. This holiday meant a lot to us and Shemeji didn't let us down. Wholeheartedly recommended with many thanks to Emma and Freddy for providing us with a holiday to truly remember.

Great experience!
I had only one free day in Pretoria and Patrick from Mmilo Tours helped to schedule the whole one-day trip very fast. We covered Van Dyk Cheetah Center and Ukutula Lion Park (walk with lions was awesome!) that day. It was a super interesting and eventful program. The assigned tour guide Johan De Bruin was super helpful and knowledgeable. Strongly recommend!

Travel with a smile
The ladies at Travelers Link were very welcoming and professional. The story behind this team started by two sisters was very humbling and inspiring. Knowledge was immense about the country, animals and birds. I highly recommend it to anyone who is tired of the same mediocre service and wishes to travel with a smile!!

Excellent Safari experience! I strongly recommend
Our first experience with African Jacana and definitely not the last. Our 6 day tour to Okavango was organized by Lucky who was always reliable, communicating at all times, friendly and patient with us. We did not have a clue of what Moremi Game Reserve is, but with his knowledge all became possible. I highly recommend African Jacana Safari Tours for any Botswana Safari. They are knowledgeable, veteran guides who have been working in the safari over 20 years, approachable and receptive. If you want to visit Botswana I highly recommend them.

Airport to hotel transfer was on time and friendly. Guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable
Awesome! Booking was easy. All our pre-trip questions were answered in a professional and timely manner. The trip far exceeded my expectations. The parts of Jinja Far east in Uganda (the nile and the parks) was a pleasure to visit, and made even better by our guide's intimate knowledge of the people and culture. I have no idea how you provide this kind of trip for the price as the tours, food, accommodations and guides (including assistants and drivers) were fantastic. Our guide gave us such a wide variety of experiences -including tourist and non-tourist type excursions. You (Keron tours and travel )are doing a great job. Keep it up so that we can continue to see the world on our budget

Kenya Safari with Travel For Change
My wife and I just got home from a 9 day, 8 night safari with Travel for Change Africa and I wanted to hurry and write this review because the company, tour, and driver/guide were just that amazing. Safaris can seem daunting and expensive when looking to book them from the US, but Patricia provided a customizable quote that was entirely within our (modest) budget. She contacted us regularly via email and WhatsApp as we approached the date of the safari, and was very professional. As other reviewers have said, a safari is "made or broken" by your driver/guide, and our guide, Patrick, was perfect. A twenty-plus year veteran of the industry, he seemed to know everyone (he was always shaking hands with fellow drivers) and everything (from an obscure bird to the best place to go in Samburu to see lions). Needless to say, we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, etc., many of which Patrick seemed to find for us! While this company may not be that well-known, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I warily contacted a few reviewers here prior to booking for reassurance, and I will happily reassure anyone looking to book with Travel for Change.

Excellent trip, well balanced program, great guides
The experience with the company started not really well - incorrect budget calculations, lodges offered finally were not available, some turbulences with contract sign off. But despite all these mistakes the company demonstrated great honest attitude, unique flexibility, care about our expectations and budget wise was one of the most reasonable agency we had briefed. The 12 days program was tight: Tarangire, Eyasi, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Natron and Manyara. Exhausting but well balanced. Guides with amazing attitude, caring about us in all aspects. Some lodges and camps could have been better, some too luxurous, so the budget could have been allocated better. Tips were nightmare, spoiling a bit the whole good impression. But we do recommend this agency for its enormous flexibility, price affordability and quality of guides. To be improved though: policy of tipping, booking of lodges/camps in time and with more balanced standard.
