Best vacation ever
We were late in booking our safari. As I travel several times a year to Africa, mostly with one month - or less - notice, it didn't occur to me that many (most?) people plan their safari months in advance.
After some back and forth with Ute Sonnenberg - and being on a "waiting list" - we spent six days/nights on safari in and around Kruger National Park in South Africa. Communication/updates were frequent and efficient and as indicated above, my wife and I who have traveled the world agree that this was the best trip ever. It was not our first safari, but it seemed that everything was hand picked and that we were the center of attention.
The highlight were the wild dogs and the leopards. But then there was the 18 member lion pride... and soo much more

"An amazing safari company! Will make your experience unbelievable ".
We had an Incredible time doing safari with Landside Adventure. The company is on the smaller side and extremely personal. Also owned by the local so it's give back to the community. They work with you to make your experience individual and unique. They are extremely professional and the guides (keddy and Julius) have tremendous experience. Their are tons of safari companies out there and most of them aren't client focused. Landside adventure is dedicated to working with you. I would highly recommend this operation!!!!!

A dream tour!
Spirit of Kenya , the tour operator cannot be recommended enough. The desk staff were very prompt in their replies. I had some trepidation because of the change in their name in the middle of the tour transaction. But, from our pickup at the airport to our drop ,7 days later , it was the most perfect tour I have been on. Mr. Charles Njeri, our guide was very well informed , cheerful and always ready with an answer about birds, animals and the people of Kenya. He had a keen eye for the elusive beasts , a leopard sleeping high in the branches of some tree in the distance, despite its camouflage, he managed to show us all we had only hoped for. Thanks to him I know that the antelopes , giraffes & zebras come in many types, saw the Big Five! His dedication that we should experience all that Masai Mara offered was very touching. I really enjoyed every part of the tour, the recommended accommodation in our 5 days 4 night's tour were all not only comfortable but ethnically appealing and we were so close to nature and the animals , it felt like being among them but I could continue to have my hot showers! The beauty of Masai Mara was awesome and my photographs of this dream tour along with one of the sunset at Mara will help me relive it many more times. Thank you team of Spirit of Kenya for a memorable tour. God bless you.

Unforgettable experience!
We have to thank Savannah Explorers for our unforgettable experience! We booked the Simba safari (1 day in Tarangire park, 2 days in Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorongoro) and everything went smoothly, starting from the reservation. Roberto and his team are really effective and they replied to all my emails quickly and thoroughly. Everything was perfectly organized, our guide was waiting for us outside the airport upon our arrival and he took care of us until the very last day when he took us to the airport. He was very experienced and thanks to his knowledge of the parks we were able to see tons of animals! He gave us a lot of useful and interesting information about wildlife and the environment and we really appreciated it. The accomodations were amazing and the experience of spleeping in a tented camp in the very heart of the parks among all animals is very unique! Thank you again, Savannah Explorers, we're looking forward to our next trip to Tanzania!

2 week safari with high expectations
Our family of 4 people I and my boyfriend and my parents did safari with this company. The owner, Seka was very communicative on all emails prior to our trip to Tanzania, he planned the safari to our satisfaction. Our flight was cancelled in Amsterdam Airport but when we called Seka and inform him, he understood our situation and maintain a new itinerary, very nice of him to create a new start of our safari.
When we arrived at the airport, Seka and our Guide for the safari were already there at airport waiting with for us. During our safari it was amazing to see live animals close to our safari vehicle. We saw all of the animals (BIG 5) we expected to see and many more. We stayed in tented camps and all camps were great places for us to overnight. We recommend Taste of Afrika Safaris to all,book with them you will have great safari. Ahsante Sanna

Wonderful 3-day experience at Vic Falls
We booked a 3-day trip visiting the Vic Falls as part of our trip to Zimbabwe and South Africa. All three activities (including the river cruise, Vic Fall park tour and the walk the lion trip) that we took are great. The services provided by the company are comfortable and attentive while not over killing. Everything went smoothly and we had an excellent experience overall. Will definitely recommend John and Patrick to other friends who are interested in taking this trip. They also helped us file the application for our visa to Zimbabwe which saves us a bit extra work too. Thumb up!

Unforgettable experience
With Regional tours and safari's you get what you pay for and then some. We had an incredible safari experience thanks to our driver John who was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating and made sure we saw the big 5! All the places we stayed at were clean and comfortable with very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was great! All in all a top notch experience.

Experience of a lifetime
Thanks to Mr. Otieno and his team, we came back from Kenya with the experience of a lifetime. We were a bit apprehensive about the tour, given the high crime rate as publicized regularly in social media and other online resources. But Kenya Walking Survivors made us feel at home on our first meeting. From the point they picked us up at the Nairobi Airport to the moment they dropped us at our hotel in Nairobi after 7 days, it was like a dream. Mr. Otieno and his team arranged the entire trip with flawless efficiency. The accommodations were clean and cozy, the food was continental and good, the vehicle was well maintained. We got to see “The Big-5” within one day in Masai Mara. We booked a group tour covering Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara & Lake Naivasha. But fortunately for us there were none else with us on that particular trip for that particular period. So it became like a private safari and we had a lot of fun.
I am especially thankful to Mr. Ibrahim, our Driver-Manager-Guide-Wildlife Expert bundled into one. Being with him was a wonderful experience. My 7 yr old daughter still talks about him. His patience and demeanor was exemplary. We shall always remember him.

We had a very nice trip with Worldwide Safaris Tanzania Limited (WSTL).
We were planned vacation in Africa . Fortunately we booked with Web:www.worldwide-safaris.com
Ernest (the owner) of the company. He was really quickly to respond my emails. For me, this was my first safari in Tanzania to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National park. Wow!!!! what an amazing experience. Easy to work with, honesty, easy to book, and constant contact to make sure we were happy prior to trip. The guide Luca was the best, informative, funny, helpful, knew every animal, and helped us get some amazing photographs. We were completely safe during the trip.
The food was great, the service was amazing, and the hospitality was top notch. The fact that we were able to spend time with the Masaai villages in their homes and dancing and singing with them was unreal. Have nothing negative to say about this trip or this company. We enjoy see baobab trees, sausage trees, umbrella trees and wonderful crater, lions, hippo, tallest giraffe, cheetah, elephants, zebra, wildebeests in plenty, superb starling, flamingos in plenty and Maasai people cultures just to mention few.
Thank you so so much Ernest and Luca for such an amazing tour. Next time we will be back. Thank you Goodluck, for such an amazing 3 days teaching us so much about your country, the safaris, the animals, and your culture...
This company is to be trusted!
