polite, safe, did everything to make the trip a memorable experience
The company is extremely responsive to questions sent by e-mail or Whatsapp. I did the day trip to Lake Mburo National Park in Uganda with a stop at the village on the Kampala - Masaka Road marking the equator line. The guide, who was a also the driver, was extremely safety conscious, courteous, and went out of his way to make sure the 1-day safari exceed my expectations. I highly recommend contacting East Africa Jungle Safaris for ventures in Uganda.

Best Safari one could wish for
Looking for a Safari in Kruger National Park? Danielle and Brandon are the people you want to reach out for. They are the masterminds behind Shinzelle Safari and a great couple to say the least. We booked a three day Safari with them, and had a lovely time. Danielle made sure all our needs (food, transport, lodging) were met, and really made us feel welcome from day one (sadly, we did not get a chance to taste her famous Portuguese cooking). Brandon was our guide at the Safaris, and we could tell that he enjoys his work (and yes, its includes a whole lot of driving and waking up extremely early) and does it with all his heart. With over 10 years of guiding experience, his extended knowledge of wildlife is very authentic and we could tell he knew very well how to encounter the animals (made us feel very safe too). He was also keen to show us as much wildlife as possible, including "the big five" (we also listened to the lion radio ;-)). Nevertheless, the magic of the Safari that he guides lies (beyond the big cats) and in the details (we loved his bird facts), and he really conveyed to us the sense of respect and humility that we humans should feel before these beautiful and wild animals, and that has really made a lasting impression on us!
Dear Danielle and Brandon, we want to give you both a big thank you for this beautiful (5 star and 5 star worthy) experience, and we really hope that you continue doing Safaris for many many years to come as the passionate and hospitable people that we have met. Please also make sure to come visit us in Europe or Brasil. Best regards, Sophia and Ken

All promises have been kept.
We booked by e-mail. we have been made a very detailed and absolutely the most economical proposal among all those we had found. We were fearful that things were not going well. They kept all their promises, we saw wonderful things and spent much less than others known during Safari. Compliments.

Great tour guide and itinerary. Beautiful country and wildlife.
Ronald was a great tour guide for my week in Uganda. His communication and organization were first rate. The accommodation and food was also excellent, especially considering the remote location of some of the sites. If possible, I would time my arrival and departure from Entebbe and Kampala to try and avoid the traffic, which can be really bad. Great tour!

Reliable
We made a great trip to a number of National Parks in September. Our guide Livingstone spoke good English, was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Everything went according to plan, nothing went wrong. The financial part was also carefully handled. We can definitely recommend High Peak Expeditions and organizer Hans Kitumbu.

Great 3-day safari
Everything was great from the first day.
We choose 3-Day Northern Circuit Special with accommodation at Ngorongoro O'Ldeani Mountain Lodge (2nights). We were at Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the real treat - the world-famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Our guide was ERICK MANYECK - a nice person who showed us the most beautiful places and listened to our desires and needs. Recommend! The car was comfortable. The journey was not overly tedious.
Everything was arranged perfectly from the company. Easy to understand plan. No hidden costs. Acceptable transfer rates from airport to hotel (arrived a day before the safari).
O'Ldeani Mountain Lodge was a paradise between safari trips, with 3 meals included (the lunch box that was given to the safari was very good).
A 3-day trip is the perfect to not get too tired.
Thanks, Shadows of Africa and Erick! :)

Mark at Gondwana set up a safari tour that was all I was hoping for and more!
From our initial email to being met by Gondwana rep when I arrived in Botswana, Gondwana made me feel extremely comfortable about my trip. I had informed Mark that my main goal of this trip was to view as many animals as possible, with a emphasis on elephants. He did not disappoint. From the first morning at the Nxai Pans camp when I walked out of my cabin to see a group of elephants drinking at the waterhole about 150 yards from me, to the last game drive of my trip, I saw elephants every game drive for the entire 10 day trip.
All 4 camps were staffed with very knowledgeable guides who made each drive a unique and memorable experience. This safari tour more than lived up to my expectations and I would recommend Gondwana to family and friends in a heartbeat. I will use Gondwana for my next safari without a doubt.

My family's week with Let's Go Travel was one of the best trips of our lives (and we travel a lot!).
Everyone talks about a safari in Africa as a "once-in-a-lifetime" trip, but the outstanding job that Let's Go Travel did for us has me longing to go back for a second visit. Every aspect of our trip was perfectly planned, our guide had a delightful personality and was very patient with all of the questions that we asked, and our itinerary was fantastic. The accommodations were ideal and surprisingly luxurious (even though we opted for more "authentic" lodging than the high-end resorts), the food was excellent (one hotel even baked special gluten-free bread for my daughter), and the pace was perfect--we covered a lot of ground, but never felt rushed (so we had as much time as we wanted to view lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, birds, zebras, wildebeest, and so much more without being hurried along). Our guide was an expert at finding the animals and getting us to extremely close range, and he also had a great depth of knowledge about them. I can typically come up with things I would change about any trip I've been on--the only thing I would change on this trip would be to stay longer. Let's Go Travel put together a safari that far surpassed our extremely high expectations, so I'm pleased to give this company my highest rating.
