He knows more than anyone else concerning the wildlife and he speaks french + english. We were able to see all the big five and so much more!! Thanks again guys you are the best!

Memorable gorilla tracking experience
I asked Kombi Tour to organize a tour with little notice, little time available (3 days) and need for assistance to babysit my 10 months old boy while my partner and I went for gorilla tracking. Everything was organised on time and efficiently: also, they sort out a problem of UWA with gorilla permits, allowing us a wonderful gorilla tracking experience.

Wonderful safari in kenya
We are avid Safari goers having visited some of the best Safari locations in East & Southern Africa over the last few years, attracted by the stunning landscapes and of course the magical wildlife. East Africa however is our favorite safari destination in large part due to the sheer diversity of both Kenya and Tanzania. We did our first safari with a famous safari outfitter who were quite expensive, and though we enjoyed the experience, we felt it was a little too ‘run of the mill’ and ‘’packaged’’ for the price. For our second trip we were recommended Shoor Safaris by one of our friends who had used them before. When we contacted them we were very particular with the details as for our second safari we wanted to go to locations a little ‘’off the beaten track’’ as well as keep the prices in check. Shoor Safaris, and Fiona in their Reservations team, were a revelation – not only creating a superb itinerary for us with carefully selected lodges, but also ending up being more reasonable than comparable outfitters. After our first trip with them a couple of years ago [ and our second to Africa], we are now planning a third safari with Shoor later this year to combine Kenya & Tanzania into a 10 day itinerary, and I can assure anyone who is considering booking with them that they are a great choice for an affordable, dependable and highly personalized luxury operator for Kenya and Tanzania

Every day is the best day in Kruger!
When looking for a safari it is hard to know which company to choose. We were in communication with many potential companies, but what set RAS apart was their timeliness in response and English communication skills. Other companies took 2 weeks to respond to us where RAS (Amelia) was responding same day and often times the same hour. Furthermore, they didn't just stop booking with the safari, but they helped plan the other part of our trip as well. We had other questions (riding elephants, diving with sharks, hotels in Cape Town & Johannesburg) they either referred or set up for us helping take much of the planning/booking and stress off our plate. Even if there was something we wanted to do that we hadn't thought of (shark diving), our guide Jaco called Amelia and the next thing we knew, it was part of our itinerary. The service was second to none.
As for the safari, we did a 5 day tour on the panorama route. Our guide Jaco was highly knowledgeable with regards to all animals, nature and landmarks/stop offs along the way as well as highly interactive with us. We did the group rides at camps, but the best part of the trip was our time spent riding in the safari van with Jaco as he knew and explained more than we were hearing when going out on group trips from base camps (day, night and bus walk guided tours). That is not to say that the camp trips were not great, but sometimes they lacked or failed to share deeper knowledge about the animals and the territory. Furthermore, Jaco cooked for us each night with many options. While riding in the park I found myself wondering what a kudu or impala might taste like… not to worry, most likely you were going to get to try one of the game meats at night which only added to the experience. During out trip it rained 3 of the days we were in Kruger National Park, but we still managed to see the Big 5! Much of that is due to the fact that Jaco was readily available and willing to take us out to continue to look for animals even after we did the guided group tours. Jaco did not want us to leave without getting the entire experience and bang for our buck. I remember seeing 3 leopards in one day and we were all excited and I asked Jaco what the best day he ever had in Kruger and he said "As a guide in this park, every day is the best day" and even after 3 days in the pouring rain I can honestly see why he thinks that! Needless to say at this point if you read this far, RAS can do it all and you will most likely leave making an additional friend in your tour guide along the way!

Amazing experience! Would highly recommend this company.
Shabani was so nice and accommodating to us when we booked our safari, we got a few quotes before him but didn't really know much about what was a good deal and after we booked we found out our deal was fantastic. The four day safari was the perfect time frame. Our driver was amazing as well, we saw the big five and had so much fun with him and our cook, who made the best food we had on our entire month long trip. When in doubt, go with Shabani's company, you won't regret it!

Amazing experience of Safari and Beach Holiday with BookSafari2Tanzania
Me and my wife wanted to do safari followed by a relaxing beach holiday for our honeymoon in Tanzania. After talking to a number of tour operators, we decided to give Booksafari2tanzania a chance. Our coordinator Ephata worked closely with us to plan the entire trip within our budget. Everything was set up for us when we arrived in Tanzania. The local team there was very helpful and always ready to assist us whenever we needed them. The team including Yesse, Ben, Godson and Albert went out of their way in certain situations to make sure that we had a smooth experience. Overall very satisfied with the whole experience. Will definitely recommend them for a tour to Tanzania.

We had a beautifull trip in Tanzania thanks to our guide Mabu from Safarihub. If you have the chance to go to Tanzania then ask if it is possible to get him. He did a great job and made our holliday great! Nice atmosphere, good knowledge of surrounding nature and animals. Everything was arranged perfectly in time. It was really a relaxing hollyday because everything turned out well!

Amazing birding trip to Kenya!
My husband and I just returned from a private birding tour with this wonderful company. We can't say enough about this amazing trip - the itinerary was perfect. This is the second time we've used this company for travel in Africa and we would absolutely use them again in the future. The trip exceeded our expectations with 450+ birds in 11 days, 47 mammal species including the big 5. Our guide, Nick Buys, is among one of the best bird guides we have had the pleasure of working with. He truly makes every effort possible to find the specialties of each region.
