Excellent and professional service
Walter Kohrs organised a tour from Windhoek to Vic Falls for us (group of 8). He was very patient with us during the booking process - we chopped and changed the tour numerous times. He gave us very good advice and in the end we had a wonderful safari. It was a real treat to go on vacation without any worries about which road to take, where to buy food, where to set up camp - everything was done for us. The organisation of the trip was done perfectly and we had no trouble during the tour. With Walter's prior knowledge of the camps, we were for instance booked into Ngepi Camp (Kavango river) - at the turn-off it looked very dubious, but what a wonderful surprise.
The guide and cook that went on tour with us (Elago and Justus) took great care of us, we could just sit back and relax. We got along very well with both of them – I can really recommend their services.

We had the greatest time doing safaris, cultural events, hiking, and beach with awesome support.
We had awesome communications and help with ALL the questions we had which were a lot but always more then willing to answer. They were more then willing to go out of their way helping with whatever was needed or asked of them always asking if there was anything else needed. Our guides were awesome especially Erick. He was the greatest spotting animals and his personality was double that and we both hated to part ways. We had a situation where we left an item at a lodge but they made sure to get it to us. They exceeded our expectations greatly when we initially contacted 10 TO's
and also during the whole time we were on our trip of 23 days. We met the owners Simon and Lucia who are such a sweet young couple but you wouldn't know it by the great service they both provided.
We cant say enough good things about the service and support we received from Safari Infinity from the very beginning till the very end.

Amazing 10-Day Self Drive Tour of Namibia
We started planning this trip rather last minute, only four weeks from our departure. After being a bit overwhelmed by all the choices, we opted to have Wayfairer Travel handle all the arrangements and bookings. We gave them a budget and they took it from there. We couldn't have been happier with the results. Every detail was taken care of and even though this was a self-drive tour, we were well taken care of along the way.
The accommodations were very high end and very comfortable, especially the Doro Nawas Lodge in Damaraland and the Ongava Lodge near Etosha. The food and service was top notch with all the meals being tasty and well presented. We were in Namibia in January which is their summer and the wet season. Not the best time we were told to see wildlife in places like Etosha, because the animals are spread out throughout the park and don't need to rely on the waterholes for their water. Despite that being the case, we saw elephants in Damaraland, lions in Ongava, Rhinos in Waterberg Plateau and most of the more common animals as well. No cheetahs or leopards, but we will have to save that for next time.
The highlights have to be the dunes in and around Sossusvlei (we spent an evening watching the sunset from Dune 40 all to ourselves). Everyone else goes to Dune 45 so it is full of footprints, but Dune 40 was untouched. Watching the sunrise from Deadvlei. Finding about 20 of the rare desert-adapted elephants in Damaraland along with a 3 week old calf, and watching about 10 lions in Ongava lounging around and playing with their cubs. Overall an amazing trip.

Safari of our dreams
This experience was just what we wanted. We learned lots of new information, saw more animals than we could possibly imagine, stayed in comfortable and beautiful locations, ate delicious food, and were so sad to leave our guide at the end. I would highly recommend this company for their incredible professionalism and well tailored itineraries.

Amazing African experience
My first safari experience was indeed a wonder, we have visited Serengeti park and Ngorongoro Crater as planned, and National park Tarangire, which was not originally in the plan, but our guide changed it according to update on animal quantity, which we were very grateful for! Tarangire NP was great, even though its area is relatively small, the richness of wildlife was enormous, number of elephants was the highest I have ever seen!!!
We have been staying in tents for the whole time, which was very adventurous, unfortunately there was quite a lot of rain during the nights and in Serengeti park there was quite some water coming through the bottom of our tent. Due to that we did not sleep that much that night, but the morning animal watching compensated it hundred percent, the chance to see the cheetah family on one side of the road and lion family on the other side was just stunning!
We were very grateful for the services of our guide China, who was very helpful and always did everything he could for us to have the best pictures and told us many interesting things about the area and the animals we saw.
We also had our cook to prepare meals for us everyday, which was very nice. Since we have chosen the budget form of safari, this was quite, what we have been expecting. Only thing was that our stomach were obviously not that expecting that and this made some of the meals difficultly digestible. Together with the one wet night in Serengeti made the day really an adventure, which was not super pleasure.
However, as I was saying, the animals and the nature were so stunning, that we were able to go through everything.

Top quality safari guide, delicious meals, overall a great value.
Our guide was knowledgeable while flexible and our private chef prepared delicious meals 3 times per day. The best price we could find and overall a great value.
One day, our group of four guys walked around Crater Lake and spent the night at a nice cabin by the lake. Then, for 3 days we were driven around the Maasai Mara park in the safari van, sleeping for two nights in a nice camp with generators to provide hot water and electricity in the mornings and evenings.
Our guide was really knowledgeable about all the wildlife and went the extra mile so that we could see a cheetah up close and personal. Our chef prepared a variety of delicious Kenyan meals and hung out with us at night. Highly recommend Kenya Walking safaris, an unforgettable experience.

It´s the perfect place to see animals and birds.
All was perfect, the only minus could be the accomodations, some of the place we visit was miserable treetophotel Aberdare and Elsamer Naivasha.

Beautiful experience!
Scared, excited and nervous I left my safe home in Sweden and started my trip, Kenya was my destination and my goal was some much needed experience. I meet Isaac Ouma, while staying in Kibera and decided to go on a safari trip through Masai Mara. Isaac's knowledge and passion for the wild amazed me, I learned about the animals and the environment, while seeing the most beautiful sites. Isaac became more than a tour guide, he became a loved friend. I recommend Isaac and Ecobushman to anyone wanting more than a tour.

The safari was an incredible one. I planned another one this year also
The accomodation on Ashnil mara is very beautiful.Indian food is also available there.
I want to tell about beacon safari. The driver John was very cooperative and an excellent guy who knows very well everything about Masai mara. But sadly I want to tell another thing. I am extremely sorry to tell this. The beacon safari owner ROBERT cheated me 350 dollars by giving me a duplicate bill when we reach NAIROBI. I was in contact till February 8 .he is not interested in giving my money back. Be aware of this company as they can also cheat u.
