Awesome Safari and Masai experience
Emma, owner of the company, replies quickly to my enquiries and provides detailed info of what we need to prepare for the tour. Adam, the tour guide, was hospitable, knowledgeable and diligent. We did a 8-days tour, which we visited Tangarire, Lake Manyara, Arusha, ngorongoro national parks. Adam gave us all a wonderful time, he had timely taken us to see the Big-five and other wild animals including warthogs, hyenas, impala, cheetahs, etc. Although it's rainy season, Adam had always found the sunshine and alerted us when we approach elephants, giraffes, etc. Our food, prepared by our chef, was wonderful, we had English breakfast and western cuisines at night... awesome experience for people like us who lives in big cities. The visit to the Masai village was a highlight, unlike some other tours we heard, no extra fees/ rip-offs when we visited the village, we did some dancing and the tribe taught us how to throw spears and make fire...
A huge thanks to Emma, Adam, our chef, and those who had arranged the tailor-made tour and made us feel so comfortable throughout. Worth every penny and will definitely recommend them to my friends.

So Glad We Chose Wild Planet Safari!
When we discovered that our participation in our chosen 8-day Kruger Family Safari would not be with a small group, rather just the two of us, we had misgivings as we thought that meeting other like-minded folk would be enjoyable. Well, we have to say after the event that our misgivings were unfounded. In the closed vehicle we were not buffeted by cold early morning winds and best of all we learned so much from Ryan, company founder and guide. He has amazing in-depth knowledge about all the wildlife we saw and we also learned a lot about life in South Africa. You wouldn’t get that seated high in an open vehicle remote from the driver/guide!
We really appreciated the opportunities to get up close and personal with animals at the Hazyview Elephant Sanctuary and the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre at Hoedspruit and on the way back to Jo’burg we journeyed through the amazing scenic Drakensberg Range.
We were well looked after for the entire time and we had a wonderful experience. We will remember it always!
Nothing like seeing wild animals in their habitat, where humans are just visitors
I had a wonderful time at Kruger park. Its so much larger and vast than I expected. It feels like the size of a country. As you need to drive slow, the distances ll take a while to cover. Even so i didn’t see any big cats i enjoyed all other animal encounters… big and small. There is nothing like seeing wild animals in their habitat, where humans are just visitors. I would recommend anyone to stay in the park for a few nights. You can hear and see the animals right at your doorstep. The camps are very well organised. There are restaurants, shops or water stations (on the camp areas). In Skukuza Camp there is even a pool!
You should definatly get up at 4:30 when the camp gates open to see the sunrise. There are better chances to see more animals as well. Very special.
Review about South Africa by Verena
Even so i have just been to 2 parks and game reserve during my stay in South Africa, i would recomend SA is a great destination for Safari. There seam to be so many. Good infrastructure to get to the parks and book tours from various operators. The animals and parks seam to be taken good care of.

A very lovely trip
My friend and I went with the Tanzania Roadside Expeditions team , James Allan, Azekieli Senkoro and moshi hero John Mbando for 1 day trip to moshi (The first Chagga Live Musem, coffee tour and water falls) In the live museum oh my God how the tour guide of the immerse you in the history of the local history. He has an excellent way to explain the history and tradition. Then John took us to the coffee tour and the waterfalls. Although we were not lucky to see the process of making coffee, the company was very lovely and we enjoyed the place very much. They were very gentle and explain everything for us. For me as on a budget it was expensive but the good team made it worthy. It was a special day!
One of the things I didn't like in Tanzania is the tips as we already pay a good amount, but the we were not aware of it at all so we didn't pay them tips, and they were very elegant people that they don't annoy us to get the tips like what happened with other trips. Jame told me that we came as a client but we left as a family and it's totally true. Thank you dears for the wonderful day trip.

Excellent safari
Rachel and Dennis are very helpful and friendly. We saw all the big five on the full day safari in Day 2. It was a very pleasant trip.

Expedition 123. Malawi
Our trip to Malawi was a great experience: we spent a lot of time in Natural parks (Majete and Liwonde) but still we had many opportunities to get in touch with the real local life in the villages, on the lake shores and at Mulanje tea plantations. Everything was perfectly managed by Stefano and Francesca, our special guides, who gave us the chance to appreciate every single moment of our trip. Traveling with them is like having a big bag full of perfect knowledge of the country, its history, its traditions, its nature always at hand. But the best part is that this bag is not heavy at all! Just like traveling around with two old friends, committed to meet all our needs and expectations.
Definitely AWT was the best choice for our first african experience!

Saying my experience with Mwamba Tours and Travel was awesome is an understatement.
It was one of those long weekends in April and I was contemplating spending some time out town and probably in the wild. I approached several of my friends to see if we could do it as a group but apparently we could not settle on the best destination for us. On consultation, one of my colleagues referred me to Mwamba Tours and Travel of which he said they are good at what they do and at the same time very affordable. True to his words, on calling them, the reception I got is on its own level. Their communications and marketing team is in a class of its own. They gave me all the available options on good getaway places complete with the packages and their costs and so we had a very easy time on decision making. Masai Mara was our bet and believe you me it was a winning bet. We booked for the Safari which was to happen in two weeks time. Mwamba Tours and Travel took it upon themselves to keep us updated and reminding us on our safari date almost on a daily basis just to make sure we were on our best when that day came. The briefings we received from their team was so on point such that we were so prepared when that time came. All the requirements were made known to us and so when the D day came, we were all psyched up. At Mwamba Tours and Travel, time is of essence. They know how to keep time and stick to it. The professionalism of their drivers and tour guides and their knowledge of sites is admirable. Our stay in Masai Mara for 3 days and 2 nights cannot be summarised in one episode, it was just awesome. I can't wait for my next safari with Mwamba Tours and Travel to Lake Kivu in Rwanda which is due in mid June 2017. I feel like safaris are becoming part of my life courtesy of Mwamba Tours and Travel. None of my four friends I have referred to them has reported being discontented in their services. This boosts my confidence level anytime I am referring a friend to them. To anyone thinking of a safari both within the Kenyan borders and beyond, Mwamba Tours and Travel is absolutely a sure bet. No regrets. Viva Mwamba Tours, long live Mwamba Tours.
