Traveled with Kambona in 2007 and 2010 and will do so again!
We love to travel and had wanted to do an African safari for a long time. Did not want to do a group tour...wanted a guide for four people...with more flexibility and freedom to explore. Didn't have any idea of how to find "the guide". After attending a meeting where a previous client of Kambona's talked about his trip to Africa and his experience with Africa VIP Travel...my husband said: we've found our guide, we can schedule our trip to Africa! We traveled to Tanzania in February 2007. Kambona and his staff provided an experience we'll never forget. The level of preparation, knowledge, attention to detail, sharing stories, patience with our questions and wonderful sense of humor presented by Kambona and his staff were beyond our expectations. The tent camping in the Serengeti was definitely a highlight of the trip, as were the game drives, the excitement of finding and observing the animals in their habitat was outstanding. There is absolutely no hesitation in referring our traveling friends to Kambona. They always return with positive experiences and we receive many thanks for helping them find 'the guide' to take them on their 'trip of a lifetime'. In 2010 we returned for our second safari with Kambona. We look forward to returning with family members in order to share the experience with them. Kambona has become more than 'the guide', we now consider him our friend from Tanzania and can't wait to introduce him to our traveling friends who are interested in making their first 'trip of a lifetime' in Tanzania!
You can't even explain on words how Tanzania is beautiful. Serengeti, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar.
Every aspect is perfect on a holiday visitation in Tanzania. Somewhere that I can visit back next year

an excellent customer experience
This is my 4th time in Africa.I organized my trip with 3 different travel agents covering different areas:south Namibia, north Namibia and Botwana to VFalls.The services provided by Impala Tours(north Namibia) were excellent, customizing the trip at a very good quality-price balance and giving the chance to see the highlits of African Safary Trip with a proffesional quide. I received all support not only before deciding to choose them but also after, in solving my problems related to visa requirements. If you have any plans to visit Namibia, Botwana, Zimbabwe or South Africa-contact them!

Amazing!
The safari in Tanzania was great. The migration is a very unique event! I did not realize that this could be so amazing!
Besides this, Ngorongoro krater is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. Very special.
We had a very specialized guide with a lot of knowledge. This made the holiday even more intens. Because it i very beautifull to see. But when you know more about the information behind this ecosystems in the National Parks, it is even more intens and very very very beautiful. If wil will go again wel will definitely book again at the company Tanzania Specialist. They have a office in Europe and Arusha in Tanzania. We have booked the 8 days Tanzania safari: https://tanzaniaspecialist.com/reisaanbod/ and we can really recommend this one.
Hotels in Tanzania have very good quality standards and the people are very nice. We really felt ourselves welcome everywhere.
We hope to go back soon.

Great tour company - delevers as promised
I gathered all of the information necessary on the plan for my safari. I invited quotes by email from several companies, meanwhile friends of ours recommended Base Camp whom they have used before and were happy with their experience. I contacted base camp, initially the quote took quite a while to come through and the subsequent emails were not replied, hence, I almost selected a different company to go with. Mr. Achmed replied back just before we confirmed with a different company, the price was comparable to the other company though it was not the lowest. Due to the references, I decided to go with Base Camp.
We were greeted on arrival in Kili airport by our driver, Thomas, who drove us to Ilburo Safari Lodge for the initial night stay. The next day we drove to the Ngorongo Crater. We saw a lot of animals and we stayed at the Serena Lodge on the top of the crater. The dinner buffet at the lodge was very good with lots of choices. The entertainment program was an amazing acrobatics act. The box lunches at all Serenas were very basic, and not anywhere close to the buffet at the hotel. The breakfast had a variety of choices. The next day we drove to Serengeti National Park. We saw lion prides with cubs, leopards, lots of zebras and wildebeest. We did not do the early morning game drives as the lodge was a bit far from the action and the driver suggested that it may be too hard to come back for breakfast. The next day we saw a migration wildebeest heard crossing the road but a lot fewer lions. After Serengeti we drove to Lake Manyara where we saw some elephants and baboons, no lions. We continued on the next day to Tarangire and stayed at the safari lodge before returning back to Arusha. Achmed met us both the initial day that that we arrived and also after the safari and gave us lots of tips. Our driver Thomas was a bit reserved sometimes, but knowledgeable about the animals and spoke decent English. All in all I am happy with our decision to go with Basecamp Safaris Ltd and would choose this company again in the future.

Review about South Africa by tobias.gebhardt
I have never done a safari before but it is a great experience. During my safari trips in South Africa I have seen so many wild life animals like lions, hippos, elephants and zebras close to our vehicle.

We had a wonderful experience with Naenda Safaris
Everything was good. We had a patient and good driver, and we felt very safe. Cant complain about anything. Got to see everything we were hoping for. I would definately recommend Naenda safaris to friends.

Review about Botswana by Sully858
We rode from Vic Falls to Cape Town on motorcycles and the amount and variety of wild life we encountered - often in the middle of the road - was truly incredible. One of our riders had an accident in Botswana and the people at the scene couldn't have been more helpful. Truly good people - many living in awfully modest conditions to say the least.
