Best trip ever!
From the second they picked us up from the airport to dropping us off, everything was done with complete professionalism. Our Tour Guide Mike was the best guide, he went over and beyond on our safari trips. Not only did he get us up close to the game viewing but also shared with us a vast amount of knowledge and expertise and was a great driver.
Simply professional in providing their services. Well informed on the activities and the destination
Hospitality at its best. It was a wonderfully visit. Well taken care of in terms of activities and the tour operator was panctual and so kind in guiding us. Definitely coming back for more activities.

Safari so good!
Just back from a wonderful Kenyan safari with Natural World. And I have no hesitation in giving them five well-deserved stars.
From the initial quote and the fine-tuning of the itinerary to the post-tour customer care by Humphrey and Caroline, this company was excellent.
Our superb driver Moses picked us up from our Nairobi hotel, the (upgraded) Land Cruiser full of wildlife guides and Moses' head full of the knowledge of 19 years as a safari tour guide.
He took us on a 5-night (bumpy - wear a sports bra, ladies!) road trip to Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara, and made it his personal mission to ensure we saw as much of Kenya's amazing fauna and flora as possible.
We managed four of the big five (no rhino sadly, but understandably) after a very determined day seeking out a leopard, and then spotting two!
We opted for Comfort-level accommodation, which was actually very, er... comfortable, though the first night's camp at Rhino Valley Lodge was very basic. But it made up for that with incredible panoramic views. The other camps were lovely and the food was very good too (with a special mention for Zebra Plains Mara Camp).
Crescent Camp at Lake Naivasha initially seemed as though it would be disappointing, as the lakeside was strewn with litter (one would think the camp might make an effort to clean up its lake front, even if it is public access), but the boat tour and walking safari on the island more than made up for this - as we strolled among the zebra and giraffe.
All in all, it was an amazing experience, and we have with wonderful memories and spectacular photographs to cherish.
Thank you to the team at Natural World Kenya Safaris, and Moses in particular.

15 days safari was beyond my expectations and a dream.come true
Kikwetu Tours,
Of the bottom of my heart I am thanking you Kenneth for this tour....
I came on this tour without expectations
and everything was better than I could ever imagined.
I felt that I really really got what I paid for.
I am a solo traveler, and I.did this safari on a budget. So for.me it was very important to know all detailes of my tour. What was included, what was not, how much money for tipping, how much money for souvenirs and so on...
Kenneth help me sooo good in setting up my budget for my tour.
In Uganda,
Augustine my driber and guide was amazing. Lots of information. Lots of fun. I totally recommemd this guy. I had e great time from day 1. I did not like the hotel in Kampala much but it was for 1 night. It was not the accomodation its self but the vibe actually. In Entebbe and Bwindi they were soooo nice. But still nothing to complain about.
Kenya

Another great experience with Gondwana
We just returned from 3 days in the Motswari Private Reserve in SA. Once again, Mark and team organized an incredible trip! I can't say enough about the safari staff and their unending effort to make our stay wonderful. We saw so many animals, that I literally have to try to remember on which day we first saw a leopard eating its "fresh kill" , a lion pride, the pack of wild pups being fed by their mother, or the mama elephant nursing her baby. Our guide and tracker, Landon and Brian could not have worked harder to make sure we saw everything possible. The food was fantastic, as was our accommodation. This is our 2nd trip with Gondwana and I would highly recommend their company!!

It was amazing everything went smoothly and with excellent attitude
Excellent service for any question or problem I received immediately and satisfactorily.
I think even beyond expectations.
Glad to say that I would warmly recommend the company to trips to my friends.
Particularly want to note the driver Eddie who has done above and beyond his position in an attempt to fulfill all we have asked one by one.

a journey beyond expectation
1, The communication before departure is smooth, professional and fast. This is an important reason why I chose KETS from several travel agencies in the early days.
2, The driver and the travel agency staff picked up the plane at the airport gate and everything went smoothly.
3, The hotel is very satisfied. Most of them are the best hotels in the area. The driver also communicated with the front desk and gave us the best room.
4, The driver (Joseph, if I remember correctly) worked hard to help us find the animals. We saw the lion for three days. All Big Five have been found.
5, The driver did his best to meet our requirements and he did not ask us anything. The driver arranged everything and we concentrated on enjoying the journey. We are happy to give tips to him every day.
6, The off-road vehicle is very good. Very convenient to see animals.
7, The price is very good. This price is much cheaper than the Chinese travel agencies.
8, We have a journey of memories that exceeds expectations. KETS is the right choice. You will never regret it.

Fantastic, personalised, no stress, month long trip in South Africa at very short notice.
Benjamin was a gem. We gave him very short notice, just a few weeks, of coming to South Africa for a month to do primarily safaris and wanted to experience from self catering to 5 star. His communication was excellent and he quickly mapped out a trip for us that would maximise seeing wildlife. He greeted us at the airport and sorted out all issues, eg mobile phone coverage, car rental etc. Part of the planned trip ended up not happening due to changes to train schedules and Benjamin worked with us to make alternative arrangements. In the end, considering we ended up doing a walking safari, this was probably even better than our original plan. We saw lots of animals, including the endangered black rhino and it was one of the best holidays we have had. Benjamin made the trip pretty much stress free and I can't recommend Siya Phambile Expeditions highly enough. Thank you Benjamin for such a wonderful time.

Trip of a lifetime
We did a 3 week tour from Victoria Falls to Botswana then Namibia with Thinus as our wonderful guide.
it was an amazing trip. Chobe in Botswana was fantastic for wildlife, especially elephants. Moremi game reserve in the Okavango was beautiful for bird life and a resident hippo at our lodge was a bit of a thrill!
Namibia was beautiful also. Damaraland was spectacular and unexpected! Soussovlei was incredible too. Was great to incorporate beautiful landscapes into the trip instead of just focusing on game viewing
In terms of travel, accommodation and food the trip exceeded our expectations. The lodges (3-5star) were fantastic- interesting locations and unique styles.
Everything went perfectly smoothly thanks to the superb organization and attention to detail of our guide Thinus. Thinus was more than a “guide” - he was a born and bred Namibian with an interesting history and unique perspective and knowledge of the country.
We highly recommend Crisscross!!
