excellent travel company
This is a very good company, very friendly, very helpful. The design of the trip is perfect, and the hotels are great. Especially when we were going to Tanzania, the driver took us to the border with Tanzania, and the boss contacted the car handlebars from Tanzania to take us to Mozi. We had a very pleasant trip to Kenya.

Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) Experience
We were in Vic Falls on a business trip and while having some time off we decided to do some sightseeing. The hotel recommended that we contact Simon, the owner of Africa Beast Safaris. Simon was very knowledgeable in listening to our requests and recommending what he thought would fit our schedule and suit our likes. We ended up booking a sunset cruise and he picked us up in person from the hotel, having us at the boat ahead of time to book the best seats in the house. We had a wonderful experience and wouldn't think twice about booking another trip with Simon when visiting Vic Falls next time.
Africa Beast Safaris comes highly recommended, thank you Simon.

Fantastic, Great Service and Value Chobe Day Trip
This was the least expensive Chobe National Park Day trip from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe that I came across, but it was a total winner!
The communication ahead of time and pick up was all done with efficiency and friendliness. The border crossing into Botswana was made easy.
The morning boat safari on the Chobe River was awesome. We saw more than 100 buffalo, many hippos, Impalas, crocodiles, and more. The lunch buffet at the posh Chobe Safari lounge was absolutely first class.
The afternoon driving safari showed us more than 100 elephants, Kudu, giraffes, wart hogs, Impala, and hippos.
The company does a Five Star job and you end up with a beautiful African safari experience!

Well organized, polite, friendly and very patient
I rate the service as totally excellent. The tour operator was very patient with us and took time to take us through the available packages and activities. I had really high expectations coming on this trip, and the safari tour exceeded these expectations. Their communication was very efficient and we were kept updated every step of the way. I would recommend them to anyone and would use their service again next time.

Everything went better than we ever expected
After trying some local travel agents, we realised that travel in Africa requires specialist expertise. I searched the internet and saw many positive reviews about Ubuntu. As soon as I spoke to Cuan, he filled me with confidence. He knows Africa and he knows about travelling in Africa. From our rough plans, he put together a fantastic itinerary, including all of the main features that we wanted to see. He made it all fit together and flow and everything went exactly as planned. We loved working with Ubuntu. We were kept informed all along the way, the admin side, payments, bookings etc, all went smoothly and the trip was a dream. We even met Cuan in Victoria Falls, which was great! Travel in Africa can be problematic and difficult, especially when you try to squeeze six countries into a month, but it all went without a hitch and we enjoyed every moment. If we return to Africa, and I suspect we will based on our firs experience, we will be using Ubuntu Tours.

Perfect!
The communication with Sprit of Kenya was more than perfect. I was surprised by the prompt reply from Tiago. He was providing all the necessary information and answering to all the concerns. I must admit that the way things worked with Tiago influenced a lot our decision to go with Sprit of Kenya. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism. The tour was perfect and we had a nice time in Kenya, everything was as planned. Our driver/guide, Gidion was friendly, he knew a lot about animals and he was sharing the information every time he had the occasion. He knew where to go to see the Big 5. We enjoyed a lot our experience. We are planning in returning in Kenya in the next future and definitely we are going to contact again Sprit of Kenya. I recommend this agency.

A wild adventure through the bush!
My friend and I did the 10 day Bush to Beach semi luxury itinerary with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. It started with the friendly and prompt email communication with Paul, which is why we decide to book with his company. He was flexible and attentive, working with us to create an itinerary that met our desires. We were picked up from the airport by our driver, Ezekiel, who we enjoyed talking to, both answering and asking questions, on the hour long ride to Arusha. Ezekiel and Paul met with us to explain our itinerary over dinner our first night so we would know what to expect and to answer any questions we had. Ezekiel was a highly informative and helpful guide with a great sense of humor. We really enjoyed getting to know him over the course of the week and learning from him. Thanks to him we saw the Big 5, along with so many other amazing animals. There is no way we would have been able to see what we saw without him. He put us in the right positions to get AMAZING photographs! He even taught us some Swahili! When it was time for us to head to Zanzibar, we were so sad to say goodbye to Ezekiel, and we hope to go back and climb Kilimanjaro with him in the future!
Before describing our experience in Zanibar, I should say that we were more than impressed with the accommodation we stayed in throughout our safari experience. We wish we had more time to enjoy some of the amazing amenities the hotels offered, although we would never have given up the time we spent in the bush (we highly recommend getting up before the sun- the animals are far more active in the early morning). The food was stellar in all locations, consisting of many options, some of our favorites being the barbecued meats and curries served with ugali, as well as delicious fresh fruits.
Zanzibar was also an awesome experience. We highly recommend the Spice Farm excursion and wandering around Stone Town to see the beautiful doorways. Also, don't miss the Zanzibar pizza at the night market! We really enjoyed the beautiful and relaxing time at the beach in Ngunwi.
So overall, we had the most amazing time and could not recommend this company more highly!!!

Fun tour of Cape Town area and an amazingly wonderful safari in Kruger National Park.
The was a very good tour. We had some initial misunderstanding about the total cost of the bush flights to the game area, and the pre-arranged flights were not very direct. Ethiopian Airlines also lost my luggage for almost the whole two weeks of the trip. Otherwise, we enjoyed the entire trip. We stayed at Spier Wine Estate in Stollenbosch, which was wonderful with great service and good wine. The accommodations were great. But the safari itself in Sabi Sands Game Reserve was an eye-opener. The accommodations at Dulini Leadwood Lodge were better than fantastic, and the wildlife viewing was better than I could have imagined. We had elephants and baboons sitting by our deck pool and there were constant antelope outside our door and windows. Really, I can't imagine a better safari than what we experienced. The tracker and ranger we had for four nights and days were bright and knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. They spoke very good English and knew a lot about the animals. We will always remember this trip.

Highly recommend
We can honestly say all of our experiences exceeded our expectations! We did a 10 day package incorporating 3 days in Zanzibar, we travelled with a variety of ages from young to old and all were accommodated. Food was great, again travelling with young picky children to vegetarians all preferences were met. Our driver ‘Ezeikel’ was very knowledgeable, respectful and delivered all of our requests. The accomodation could not be faulted....comfortable, safe and with all of the extras we needed after a big day . Booking this type of trip from another country with no direction but reviews, comes with risks, but it paid off because Tanzania Roadside Expeditions delivered over and above!
