Like a family member who was warm and knowledgeable about their home you're visiting.
Peoples Safari is top notch. Our passports didn't come in on time last year and they allowed us to return in 2024 with very little of an increase, and without a total loss of what I had paid in full already. It was so sad we couldn't come in 2023, but they truly communicated with me, via WhatsApp, every step of the way to make sure we still got to take our dream vacation! Our lodge was beautiful, and there was a lot of choices at the restaurant for each meal. There just nothing to complain about.
Our guide, Fanuel, was so thorough and sincere with each step making sure we were 100% pleased! Speaking with him was like talking to a family member. He really wanted us happy. He stopped when we needed, and tried so hard to find all of the animals with us in Etosha. He took photos and he offered to share with us (his camera was much better than ours) and was very prepared with snacks and water. He even stopped to buy us snacks we liked. You would be at a loss of you didn't hire this company (and Fanuel). Once we returned to Windhoek, in fact, we invited he and his family to dinner with us! Don't miss out!

Chill vibes and lots of animals!
We did a 6-day safari in May 2024. The weather was great, warm during the day but not too chilly at night. We started in Maun and ended in Kasane, traveling through Moremi, Savuti and Chobe game parks, and included a Chobe River boat cruise - definitely do a boat cruise if you are interested in seeing birds and hippos and crocodiles up close. We saw so many animals including elephants, giraffes, hyena, wild dogs, hippos, lions, cheetah, leopards, jackals, zebras, baboons, vervet monkeys, warthogs, water buffalo, wildebeest, an ostrich (!!) and tons of different deer & antelope and birds. We used tour operator Tony's Mobile Safari out of Kasane and loved them. We camped in tents at night and got to listen to the mating calls of Impala. We loved the camaraderie of the different tour operators, who would share info on game sightings so each tour group got the chance to see the most animals and the jeeps would jockey around for best positioning when there was a group of lions enjoying a kill (for instance) so everyone got a good photo and viewing opportunity. Overall all the Botswana people we met were friendly and relaxed, which made for a great vacation.
We were 100% happy with choosing Botswana as a destination and would go back and do it all again.

Incredible Experience with the BEST Guide!
The Serengeti guided tour was incredible. Joshua, our guide was a great driver and so very knowledgeable. We saw all the big animals pretty much every day. We saw incredibly beautiful birds and amazing scenery. The balloon ride over the migrating zebras and wildebeest. We saw lions, giraffes, elephants and all from high up. It was amazing. We were feet away from Cheetas gorging on a wildebeest, feet away from lions, giraffes, hyenas, playing monkeys, we even saw rhinos. My absolutely favourite were the flamingos. Sea of pink that I'll never forget. The weather was spring like but not too wet. No bugs at all. Driving through the villages and seeing the Maasai people and villages brought a lot of reality back to life. Peaceful, kind people who smile and appreciate everything they have. Kids that are learning about life and responsibilities early on to have a strong base. The have genuine smiles that melt your heart. Humble people. We felt completely safe.
The accommodations were great. I loved glamping with buffalo in the yard for a couple of days. The Arusha Melia hotel had a buffet that was next level! Delicious!! The food on the trip was great. There was plenty of it and it was tasty. I have to say that I would highly recommend this wonderful company, whose staff greeted us so beautifully and took such wonderful care of us during our two week trip. Thank you once again.

South Africa offers incredible natural beauty, an abundance of animal life, and cultural diversity.
Took a full day tour of Pilanesburg Reserve, Ultimate Johannesburg Tour which included Nelson Mendela House and Museum, Constitutional Hill, and Soweto. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. Our visit to Soweto was enlightening. There were five of us on the tour and we always felt safe. We booked a three-night/four-day Kruger National Park tour through Mmilo Tours. Norman Lok took care of everything! Mmilo Tours made the best decision when they booked our room at the Pestana Kruger Lodge. Absolutely incredible! This lodge is situation on the Crocodile River. Imagine having breakfast, dinner, or enjoying drinks while watching African animals who come to drink water. There were hippopotamus, crocodiles, elephants, etc. We stayed in a premium room at this lodge and had the same view of the river from our room. The staff and the general manager were especially gracious and accommodating. Four private game drives, two sunset and two sunrise, into Kruger National Park were included on this tour with Mmilo Tours. Amazing! We also spent one full day with Thapelo Seerane from Vince Shuttle and Taxi Services, taking in the Panorama Route, which included several waterfalls, Blyde River Canyon, the three Rondavels, God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes, and a lunch stop at Harrie's Pancakes...the best! I would encourage everyone to buy your souvenirs from the vendors at these stops. You are helping to support the people of South Africa and they are most appreciative! Book your trip today!!!

Friendly people; wonderful wildlife; sadly drought stricken so dry rivers and significantly reduced
Botswana is a wonderful travel destination. The wildlife experience was top level with very knowledgeable guides. The people are very friendly. Our safari lodge was very nice. Unfortunately, we visited during a bad drought so we didn't see it at its best.

Review about Chobe National Park by Emily L
Birders should absolutely do a boat cruise, it's a great way to see the water birds up close. Also a different perspective than the jeep so seeing the hippos, elephants, etc. from a different angle is great. We had incredible sunsets in Chobe as well, with sweeping landscapes. It was really breathtaking.

Review about Moremi Game Reserve by Emily L
We loved all the elephants, they really seem to rule the park, the baby elephants are adorable. We also saw a few of the lesser seen animals here including a hyena and baboons.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Lenka Whitehead
I love birds and we saw so many different ones. We also saw the big five pretty much every day. Our guide was very familiar with the roads and the park and made our experience unforgettable.
