Unforgettable Weekend
Three of my friends and I went with Ivan on a 3-day safari to Murchison Falls. The communication with Ivan beforehand was excellent in planning on itinerary and even trying to find the best safari location for us. I really appreciated him taking the time to meet with us beforehand and go over all the logistics again. I believe we got an incredible value for our money, picking us up from Kampala and taking us to the national park, staying 2 nights at the red chili camp and driving back to Kampala. He thought of everything, providing us with toilet paper and bottled water and even stopping for fresh pineapples along the drive and cutting them up for us to enjoy during our trip. Ivan was incredibly knowledgeable on all of the wildlife and answered any questions we had during the safari. 10/10 would recommend Ivan for anyone looking to do a safari he made our weekend unforgettable.

Passionate, communicates very well and ensures a very smooth transition between countries and camps.
From our first communication right through until we arrived back home, Sarah (the Owner and Founder of Go African Adventures) kept in touch to ensure everything went well.
Sarah made sure everything went smoothly and even emailed our Boarding Passes for our flights the night before departures.
Crossing from Botswana to Zimbabwe Sarah ensured a smooth transition between Lodges by communicating with them behind the scenes while we could sit back and relax.
The package Sarah suggested was tailor made for our short time (6 nights) and the accommodation and activities offered were family friendly for our 8 and 4 year old children.
I had various means of getting hold of Sarah directly in case something didn't go as planned (everything actually did go according to plan!) which meant that I could really just relax and enjoy my holiday with my family.
I actually have absolutely nothing negative to add as everything went so well. The only thing that didn't work out (initially) is a helicopter flip that I planned myself and was postponed due to weather. The lodge we stayed at in Zimbabwe was kind enough to arrange a new time slot for us, something that was not their responsibility.
That is the type of accommodation that Sarah arranged for us....world class.
Thank you Sarah / Go African Adventures for a very memorable family holiday. We will be back!

A unique and unforgettable event for the whole family
We (a family with two children, plus another family with two children) went on a 3-day safari. Day 1: Tarangire NP, Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater, Day 3: Lake Manyara. The organization was done in advance via email and WhatsApp. We were very well advised by Benson. All our wishes were taken into account. In Tanzania, before our safari, the last details were finalized. The safari was perfectly tailored to the needs of both the children and the adults. For example, we had a campsite where the children could run around and play after the long car journey. The experiences during the safari were more than impressive. We saw a lot of animals. Accommodation and food could not have been better.
We particularly enjoyed the first two days with the respective national parks. The 3rd day with Lake Manyara NP did not offer enough variety for the children. We saw very few animals there. In retrospect, we would prefer a 2nd day in Ngorongoro Crater instead of Lake Manyara, as in our opinion one day there is not enough.
All in all, we had a great, very impressive and unforgettable time with many great and caring people. Thank you very much for that! We would book a safari with Benson again at any time and can only recommend Benson Safari.

Seamless, reasonably priced 3-day visit to Kruger National Park
We registered for the 3-Day Budget Friendly Crocodile River Kruger Park Safari. This package included transport to and from Johannesburg, two nights at the Prestana Kruger Lodge, and four three-hour game drives through the park. The price was in line with other budget safari packages we saw, but allowed for the maximum time inside the park of any option we found in that price range.
We were extremely satisfied with the booking service provided by Mmilo Tours. Everything went smoothly, and the staff was extremely responsive (even when we contacted them at 5 a.m. because our pickup for a game drive was a few minutes late!). Our transportation unfailingly departed on time and arrived early. We were also happy with the game drives with the rangers from the park. Although these were supposed to be group drives, because we were there at off-peak times we had one private drive and one shared with only one other couple. We were lucky to have had an exceptionally skillful ranger (Opa) on one of our drives. Overall we saw lions, elephants, zebras, rhinos, giraffes, hyenas, African wild dogs, warthogs, kudu, wildebeests, and 5 (!!) leopards, usually from very close range.
We do recommend looking into Prestana Kruger Lodge before booking this tour to confirm you will be satisfied staying there. The location cannot be beat (right outside the entrance to the park so you don't have to waste time traveling to the gate for your game drives; balconies overlooking the river full of hippos and crocodiles). But the hotel itself is not really up to SA standards: the facilities are aging, there is no gym, and the service and food are mediocre. You should pick this tour if your priority is spending a lot of time in the park and not a lot of time getting there; not if your priority is relaxing in a luxury hotel.

This is the agency you want to go with
The skills and knowledge of the driver is key to the experience of the Chobe NP. Tracking the animals, driving safely on the bumpy roads while explaining the animal behavior. Kalahari tours has the best drivers.
We had the best sightings, learned a lot of things. Enjoyed magnificent sunsets and scenery.
While viewing a leopard close by, a pride of 16 lions, elephant families…
The camp was basic and correct. In plain nature. Food was good.
Absolutely recommendable.

Excelent
Our guide, Patrick, was exceptional! He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and plants. He was very easy going and friendly. The office staff, Ambrosia, Safiness and Richard, were very responsive and helpful during the booking process. I feel that we got more than our money's worth. I would highly recommend this company.

Pamela is an amazing hard working organiser always contactable and Cosmas our guide and driver best
It is amazing to spend time at least 3 - 4 days in Victoria Falls . We enjoyed the bridge walk , high tea at elegant Victoria Falls Hotel , helicopter ride over the falls is sensational . Of course walk for 2 hours around the Falls is an amazing experience , do not forget your raincoat , we did not mind getting wet by the fresh sprinkles from the mighty falls . Lastly make sure have lunch at Lookout Cafe & Boma dinner . We were lucky to have Pamela from Zim Travels to arrange our itenary . And am glad she appointed Cosmas as our driver and guide who made sure everything went well . His knowledge is very good and he too managed to show us a tower of zirraffes and kudus on the way to Botswana .
We spent 3 days in Chobe again the itenary was amazing . We did 2 morning game drives , one afternoon game drive and one safari from Chobe River Cruise . All views at sunrise and sunset was spectacular . Furthermore to see all the animals and birds in nature was amazing . We were lucky to see so many animals and birds . The rangers were very professional all out to please.
In summary we had great experience with Pamela from Zim Travels and will consider her for our next adventure in Africa .
