Wish I Could Give More Than 5 Stars
7 Wonders Safaris is really amazing...
They had arranged everything v needed even though it was on a short notice..
From the time we began our booking enquiry, the customer service of this company was outstanding. Ms.Evelyn was very responsive, helpful and insightful about what to expect, what to bring, where we were going and she assured us that we would enjoy our trip...
Absolutely loved our experience with "7 Wonders Safaris"

3 Day Masai Mara
Booked a last minute 3 day Masai Mara trip with Beacon Safari. They were absolutely wonderful. Did a great job of building a custom safari around what we wanted. Namely all day safari drives instead of just a morning and afternoon drive and a more camp like resort. We went with IIKeliani and we were the only people there for 1 night and there were 2 other couples there the other night. The camp was wonderful and took care of all of our needs. Beacon Safari and David our amazing guide were top notch. We saw 4 of the big 5 only missing the Rhino. David seemed like a lead guide out there with other guides always asking him where to find things and which direction the animals were moving. Seeing a cheetah eating a jackal in a tree was amazing. We were the only ones there. David made sure we got all the pictures we wanted before informing the other guides of where this was. We were also the first to find a male lion napping on the Mara and a family of 3 female lions and their 6 baby lions. Just an amazing experience overall. You should book with Beacon if you want an amazing experience. I will be booking with them again on our next safari.

Beautiful experience, company went above and beyond!
The trip was incredible. Our guides went above and beyond in every way. They clearly were very experienced in all aspects of the trip. Trips between parks sometimes were long, but the driver was incredible at making everyone feel comfortable. He also spent a lot of time with us in the park to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. And the food went beyond all expectations, it was gourmet cooking every night, and was absolutely delightful. Lodging was incredible as well. Thank you for providing such great guides and amazing itinerary/lodging.

A great experience , a trip i'll never forget. And a tourgide how understood his job, thanks Julius
From the day my wife and i decided to go on this trip we had some talks with Terah about the safari trip and got good info.
Tuesday june 14 we've been picked up by the cabdriver who took us to Mombasa, there we waited on the van with our tourgide and the other safaritrippers.
After we left Mombasa i got to see already a lot of the couintry wich i very much enjoyed. On our way to Tsavo we had a small rest for refreshing a bit and to look for souvenirs for who liked to buy something.
From the moment we arrived a Tsavo we could see right away the first animals, mostly elephants.
Realy what a special moment it was to see them in he wild natural enviroment in stead of seeing them in a zoo. After a couple of hours we arrived at the lodge where we spend the night at had a lunch and some time for R and R. The trip continued in the afternoon and it was only beautiful , the land, the scenery and all the wildlife we got to see.
At the end of our first day the guide got a phone call from another guiide who had spotted a group of lions, so as fast as he could he took us overthere. Wauw!!!! what a great experience was that to see this group so close to the van. I think they were so close to the van that i almost could touch them. This was the best experience i had that day. Now it was time to leave and go back to the lodge for diner and sleep,,, this we all really needed.
Day 2 , june 15. We had to wake up early for breakfast and left the lodge after that. The day started chilly but i did not even care about that, i was so excited about everything .So we all got in the van and started our second day.While we were driving and try to spot wildlife Julius our guide saw more then we even could see.He is a man who was seeing things we even didn't see and pointed us on that various times, i thank him for that.Also on the second day we got to see lions and even a couple of cheetah~s. OMG what a good decision to go on this trip it was worth to invest the time and some money in this, i realy can say this from the bottem of my heart! The trip went on for a few more hours and so we reached the end of the park. On our way back to Mombasa we made a last stop for some food and drink, after this stop the thought of the safari stayed in my mind.When we reached Mombasa our cabdriver was already there waiting for my wife and me and he brought us back home to Mwtapa... For all i can say : This was great and a beautiful, will do it again in the future, and for the people who are thinking of taking a safari i can only say DO IT, you wont regret!!!!.
Special thanks to Maureen , Terah, if we didn't know you we probally did niot go on this trip. And Julius thanks for showing us the beautifull park and pointing us at interesting things.
Also special thanks to my wife, without you i would not have enjoyed it so much as i did!! Asante Sana

3Dqay/2Night Safari in Chobe NP
Very pleased with Africa Zim travel. They made arrangements for the two of us to be picked up in Livingstone and transferred to Botswana for the safari. Logistics were superb with the hand off from shuttle to boat (to cross the border) to the safari leader seamless. Africa Zim was even able to accommodate a last minute change from us to be returned to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe instead of the originally agreed upon Livingstone, Zambia at the end of the safari at no additional charge.
The safari itself was sub-contracted out to Cape Fig Safaris based out of Kasane/Chobe in Botswana and they were excellent. I would 100% recommend that you request that Africa Zim books your trip to Chobe with this operator.
Three small notes:
1) The itinerary provided by Africa Zim mentions time to stop in Kasane to shop for some last minute supplies or curios. We did not get this chance. Wasn't a problem for us, but probably something Africa Zim should communicate to their sub contractors or remove that item from the itinerary.
2) I paid 25% upfront using PayNow (kind of the Zimbabwe version of PayPal), which does assess a fee for making payment, just something to keep in mind.
3) The final 75% was requested in cash, which may be a lot for people to be carrying on there person (and difficult to obtain in Zimbabwe currently). You may want to ask to make other payment arrangements.

A Truly Unique and Unforgettable Experience!
I could not conceive of a more knowledgable or better guide then our animal whisperer, Erasto and his driver Elisante. They gave us a unique experience that was unparalleled to anything we could have imagined. Aside from seeing lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, baboons, gazelles, hippos and many other incredible wildlife......Erasto took us to places well off the beaten tract, including visiting Bushmen and Maasai and Chaga villages. He drove hours from our scheduled itinerary to insure that we saw the great migration of the wildebeests, who had traveled further west. Erasto speaks fluent English as well as Swahili and his native Maasai. He is well educated and fascinating and we enjoyed many interesting conversations together. The accommodations and food were among the best and though we moved around a lot, we delighted in the hospitality and comfort of each new place. In short, E & H Blessed Safaris goes above and beyond to ensure your safari is memorable, exceptional, exciting, safe and the trip of a lifetime!!

The best way to travel in Uganda
We have just returned from the holiday experience of a lifetime in Uganda, and have to thank Uzuri Safaris for making it possible. As we had only four days to cover huge distances, have as wide an experience as possible and of course see some gorillas, it was a logistical proposition for them to tackle. The gorilla experience was of course the highlight, and will be remembered long after the photographs fade. The flights to Bwindi, the accommodation there, and subsequently in Queen Elizabeth National Park were Extremely good. Our guide, Noel was the perfect combination in a guide in Africa; wildlife expert, safe driver and a courteous, lovely guy. I would recommend highly.

Exhilarating
The tour was very nice, it provided an in depth insight into the sights and sounds of Kenya which I probably
would not have experienced if I travelled by air. The tour guide was absolutely amazing ,he was constantly
assisting to capture some breathtaking pictures
of the scenery.He deserves a 5 star applause. He was also very knowledgeable about where to find the animals
because I managed to see lions,elephants,giraffes and hyenas on the first day of my tour.
The hotel accommodation was simple and adequate with the lovely sights of the hippos and crocodiles.
It was a wonderful experience and I hope to do it again soon.

Great experience!
We did a 10 day safari and beach vacation with Regional Tours and Safaris. Although communication was sometimes slow or nonexistent, we definitely got the tour we hoped for, with no budgetary surprises. Our driver (a contractor) Athuman was very helpful as our luggage didn't arrive and we needed a few basic items before leaving on our safari. He was very knowledgeable about the birds and mammals we saw, as well as local history and languages. The accommodations ranged from basic to 5 star(imo). The tour was very well organized, no stress. We saw everything we wanted to see except rhinos. The hotel in Stonetown had a few issues, it was a spectacular historic building but our room had plumbing issues, so we were relocated to another room. The African Tulip hotel in Arusha, Serengeti Kati Kati, Tloma lodge and Villa Kiva were very relaxing after long drives. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone planning a Tanzania tour, and actually am already saving for another tour myself!
