Dream Bandas Uganda is corrupt and took all our money but cancelled tour
Hi team, we would not recommend you book a tour with Dream Bandas Uganda. They made us pay for our tour in full and cancelled one week before the trip even though they knew the tour would not go ahead as they had been sued for illegal gorilla trekking. So they took our money a month in advance even though they knew the tour would not go ahead.
We had flights and hotels booked already so we had to find another tour company. We managed to do a tour with Lulu Safaris Uganda who were absolutely amazing and only made us pay 30% when booking the tour and the full amount when we were actually on the tour. The company was amazing.
Dream Bandas are now avoiding all our calls and haven't refunded us but we can see they still operating.
We hope no-one goes through the same experience we went through.

Go to Nature Responsible Safari for all your safari and east African travel needs!!!
I cannot recommend Nature Responsible Safari enough. Fran, the owner, and Heriel, our guide, gave us the safari experience of a lifetime in Tanzania and worked with us to accommodate our requests and answer all of our questions. 10/10. A++. And they do it all while taking steps to respect the environment that we all must share!
Anyone considering a safari in East Africa (or a Mt Kilimanjaro hike, or a beach trip to Zanzibar - all of which they can coordinate) should contact Nature Responsible Safari. I've never had a better interaction with anyone for any service in my life - it was that good. Getting to experience the Serengeti and other parks the way we visited was a top notch and awe inspiring experience for my family.
Thank you to the Nature Responsible Safari team!

I had an unforgetable experience
The reason I chose Kale Voyage was primarily based on the website reviews and the positive-upbeat attitude-scroll about their services, but more importantly, it was their quick responsiveness to my questions right from the start. After I had explained our interest and decided the 2-day would be good, we wanted it privately as well as luxuriously and tailor-made to our destination, making the best of the two days. Having left enough specifications for what we were looking for, they were able to deliver.

Great Safari experience with a personal touch
My wife and I had a wonderful time w/ Khalanga Safaris. Shoes and Johanna were very responsive and helpful when it came to planning our trip and looking through different options . They helped us organize a 6 day tour including the Soweto tour, time in a private reserve (Klaserie), Panaroma Route, and two nights in Kruger park itself. Our guide in Kruger SK was really wonderful and made us feel well taken care of, even making Breakfast and Dinner for us. He also had a lot of knowledge about the wildlife. We had great sightings especially of Elephants. I plan to recommend Khalanga to any family or friends traveling to South Africa.

Very attentive, responsive operator
About 2 weeks before arriving in Namibia, I reached out to Indigo Safaris for assistance in planning a trip. They were incredibly responsive and attentive during the whole planning process. I gave them a general idea of what we were interested in doing, budget, and other basics (our desire to travel on our own), and they developed an itinerary. They would contact me to provide options for activities, accommodation information (all excellent, by the way), and other suggestions they had to improve the trip under the tight time table we had. It was the smoothest interaction I've ever had with a tour operator and was completed in about 5 days, which was a relief. The support continued when we arrived in the country, where we ended up immediately behind schedule after a long-delayed flight. After my quick message regarding our delay, Ines at Indigo changed our accommodation for the first night and updated our original hotel regarding our arrival status, allowing us to just unwind after a long day of travel. It was an excellent trip made easy by Indigo!

Raw African Beauty and Wildlife!
I have done several other safari’s, and Botswana is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Rustic bush experiences abound, and the people are beautiful and kind. I felt like we were out exploring nature, not driving around a big zoo. I would absolutely recommend Botswana to anyone who is looking for an up close and personal experience with the beauty of Africa’s nature and wildlife.

Spectacular Adventure with Extraordinary Guides and Safari Team - An OUTSTANDING Experience.
This was truly the adventure of a lifetime. Our group got to see so much wildlife thanks to Sam and Paul’s tracking diligence and expertise. They positioned their vehicles perfectly every time which in turn has now given our whole photography workshop group the most incredible photos and memories with which to cherish. Their knowledge was profound, any question was answered with depth and passion for the animals/birds and their beautiful Botswana and their storytelling was entertaining and hilarious. I have been on safari more than 5 times across Africa but had never camped; this adventure was transformational for me, to be fully immersed in the bush and to hear all of the sounds of the night was just incredible.
The chef was exceptional, there was a great mix of delicious food and freshly baked bread and treats for morning and afternoon tea every day and the housekeeping staff made our “tent” homes perfect (which included a turn down service each night!). Washing was done (even when you didn't expect it) and the full team were so warm, kind and joyous. I am so grateful for this experience and I couldn’t recommend the amazing Sam and Early Kingfisher team more highly. This trip was truly unforgettable to me.

Fantastic safari experience
From planning this entire trip over WhatsApp to execution it was flawless. Hellen was amazing at helping us get organized and booked the perfect safari for us. The accommodations were beyond my expectations and our guide Steve was fantastic and so knowledgeable. He is an extremely skilled driver and explained all the animals and terrain to us. Could not have asked for a better experience and will definitely use them again.

Steve was brilliant - very knowledgeable, very understanding and exceptionally personable.
Jungle roam safari did a brilliant job for us. With over 25 hours of Safari, they ensured that we got an exceptional view of the beauty of Masai Mara. Already planning our next trek with them.
