Truly phenomenal. On a trip to see animals, the people at Bubezi were the most memorable
Everything from inquiring on a booking to dropping me off at the airport thoroughly exceeded my expectations. I sent requests to 7 different safari companies to help me book a 2 night trip at the last minute based on my work schedule – Andy was the only one to respond with a complete end-to-end itinerary, and he did so immediately. Quintin and Nikki guided my trip and treated me more like a friend than a customer. Not only that, they were as genuinely excited to see the animals as I was and never made me feel like just another tourist. I was so impressed that I used Bubezi Safaris as an example of what my team aspires to be in my presentation the following week to several of my customers in Johannesburg.
I cannot wait to come back with my entire family and chart out a longer adventure with my friends at Bubezi.

Really nice budget short trip!
We made a really short time decision to go for one night to Mikumi National Park. As we were on limited budget and i've been already on another tour with Gombe, I contact them & could agree very fast on a one night trip to Mikumi for a fair price.
They picked us up at our stay in Dar in time. The Driver Rajabu was really kind & could tell a lot about the Park and it's nature.
We had an afternoon drive, a morning drive & another midday drive.
All meals have been included & were really good.
Only negative point on our tip was the fact that there was a fire in the park only few days before we arrive. So the vegetation was not as rich as it has been on my last trip to Mikumi. But that's nature. And not the fault of Gombe Safari.

Excellent organised tour
We were looking for a short holiday in July that included a safari trip and a few days at the beach to relax, after checking for different options we found the offer by Regional Tours which covered all of our interests in one package (northern circuit and Zanzibar).
The correspondence with Maturaf (Managing Director) was good, he responded to our emails very fast and with the relevant information. As mentioned by other people before the frequency and the response time reduced after confirmation of the advance payment. However all arrangements and bookings were done immediately upon receipt of payment - so do not worry. The pickup drivers were always on time and the staff of Regional Tours very reliable. Everything was well organized from arrival until departure.
Our driver/guide for the safari Emmanuel was very helpful and informative. Every evening we would plan the next day schedule together with a lot of suggestions from Emmanuel which made the trip more exciting and we could enjoy to the max. Emmanuel is very experienced and knows the route, hangouts of the animals, fantastic places and viewpoints quiet well. There was not a time when we were bored, whenever we thought we had enough of the gazelles, zebras or the long rides we came across something interesting that made trip; that moment; special. In the end all we remember is the lovely experience and the treasured moments. Thank you, Emmanuel, for making our trip a memorable one.
The accommodations during the safari were on the upper end (Tanganyika wilderness camps) and the hotel in Zanzibar (the Z hotel) was great. Minor adjustments or additions to our tour on short notice (Trip to Kilimanjaro, safari adjustments and Stone Town tour) were organized easily and without any problems. I can and will highly recommend this company and our tour guide Emmanuel to anyone who wants a great organized trip/safari for a reasonable price.

Excellent planning; friendly, knowledgeable staff; experience AND enthusiasm - safari of a lifetime!
Wild Wings Safaris exceeded all our expectations. Our first contact was with Clare who listened to our ideas before creating a customised package for us that reflected our interests and matched our budget. Having never visited South Africa before, we had plenty of questions and queries, all of which were dealt with promptly and helpfully. The safari itself was an incredible experience and far beyond what we had anticipated. From the small details, like checking in to each camp for us and escorting us to pick up points for other activities, to making sure each day was packed with amazing sightings, Simon was the perfect guide (not to mention an excellent and accommodating chef!). His vast experience was only matched by the genuine enthusiasm he showed for the inhabitants of Kruger National Park. Thanks to Simon, we had frequent and close encounters with The Big Five and much more, such as wild dogs, hyenas, honey badgers and nearly 150 different birds over a five day winter trip. Wild Wings Safaris provided us with memories that will last a life time, and we recommend them to all without hesitation.

Rivers of Africa Tour 2015
I had never been on a tour like this before but having done so now, I would recommend Absolute Africa highly to anyone.
The office staff were prompt and efficient in their responses and happy to help out with all aspects of your trip planning (insurance, flights, health, finances...) I felt organised and in safe hands throughout the booking process.
As for the tour itself, I can't rave enough about the crew. Our guide and drivers were all great at their jobs - both professional and fun - and made the trip what it was. Life on a truck can be testing at times but with a guide there to pull everyone together, it ends up being a huge positive part of the experience.
I plan to visit other continents next but if I was to return to Africa, I would have no hesitation in booking with Absolute again. A sensational seven weeks and I miss it already!

Amazing trip in Uganda!
I went to Uganda this summer with Cheetah Africa Safari and had an amazing trip! I had 2 guides, Robert and David and they were so good! They really took care of the whole group and I was not insecure at any time!
The safari tours were also a great experience and I saw so many animals! Elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippoes, lions, gorillas, chimpanzees etc. It was amazing!
All in all I am really satisfied with Cheetah Africa Safari and I will definitely recommend Cheetah Africa Safari to everyone!
Thank you for an amazing trip! I will never forget it!

Great “once in a lifetime” experiences with knowledgeable local guide. Overall great value!
Anyone looking for great experiences in Southern Africa should consider hiring Craig as their private tour guide. Being a native South African, Craig has local firsthand knowledge of South Africa past and present. He answered all our questions and educated us about 'all things South Africa' with knowledge and pride. His own enthusiasm was contagious! Our adventure in South Africa would not have been as seamless and positive if it wasn't for Craig.
Our family of 4 from Toronto, Canada had an incredible time with Craig as our private tour guide. We hired his company for 2 separate trips; a 4 day 3 night tour of the Southern Cape (including Cape Point, Oudtshoorn, Congo Caves, Private Game Reserve, Cape Agulhas, Hermanus and Betty’s Bay) and a 5 day 4 night tour of Swaziland, Kruger Park (including many hours of Safari driving) and the Blyde River Canyon.
Craig took care of all the details including itinerary, bookings, vehicle rental, driving and guiding. We appreciated that Craig drove us through spectacular regions, ensured we saw major tour spots, as well as, experienced special 'off the beaten track' places that made our trip so special. The best things about our trip were the many excursions, knowledgeable local guide, flexible itinerary and overall great value.

Experience of a Lifetime!!
My fiancé and I returned last month from our trip booked through Tanzania Safari Supremacy.
This trip marked our first trip to Africa, and was also our first safari experience - One we will never forget!!
Elvice was extremely responsive throughout the booking process, answering all of my many questions and providing excellent guidance and advice. He walked us through each step of planning our itinerary until I was confident that we'd laid out the trip that we'd been dreaming of!
Our itinerary ended up including a short safari in Selous Game Reserve, staying at Zarafa Tented Camp, our home away from home! Followed by a week at the lovely Z Hotel in Zanzibar.
When it finally came time to make our journey, we were met at the airport by our guide, Msafiri. We learned so much from him - about life in the region, as well as about the animals that we saw along the way. He made sure that we got to each stage in our journey safely and smoothly, and he did an excellent job of locating wildlife for us to see and photograph on our game drive, always making sure to maneuver us into a great position for pictures.
We are so thankful to Tanzania Safari Supremacy for making sure that our trip was enjoyable from start to finish! We would certainly recommend them to those looking to visit Tanzania.
