A great Safari
Me and my friends went on a Masai Mara Safari with ISIA in February 2015. The price was ok, above average if you consider all tour operators but below average if you only count the reputable ones. Joao was very fast in accommodation ou requests. Staff was great and the experience was incredible. We used Royal Mara camp.

Flash (I will be) Back
My first trip to Africa I booked with Flash and was really a life time experience. Magda, Edward and their staff are very professional and make you feel real welcome. They proved nothing is to much in helping you. There quick intervention when I experienced some health problems in the bush was outstanding. Things were fixed in no time and the safari could continue.
Thanks to the experienced and very professional guide Adam I had a perfect time in the Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire Parks.
Flash selects only the best lodges. Also the tented lodges were perfect.
Sleeping in a tent surrounded by wildebeest and zebra’s and hearing a lion roaring close by is so freaking exiting!
The pictures I took are beautiful and I enjoy looking at them and Photoshopping them but new plans are made to go back to Tanzania. And my tour operator definitely will be Flash Safaris and Photography !

Travel is my and my wife's life, and this was the best trip we have ever taken..
Let me start by saying everything was blew away our expectations.. The communication, the fortitude, knowledge and care with Planet Africa Safari's was unbelievable.. I spoke to so many companies and they truely stood out from the first skype call I had. After speaking with Willow, she truly understood what my wife and I wanted our trip to be like, and it was not very generic. Every suggestion she made was spot on, she really got our vibe and simply nailed it. They even were able to make a camp (Manyara Ranch) stay open a few extra days so we could do horse back safari, talk about above and beyond. I would recommend everyone work with Planet Africa Safaris, it is a super enjoyable, informative, intimate, friendly and most importantly, not "touristy" experience, in a very pre fab / cookie cutter itinerary, touristy world of safari booking.

Stunning diverse natural beauty
Cape Town has so much to offer, stunning sea views, beautiful beaches, mountains, vineyards and wildlife nearby.
Our experience of penguins, whales, dolphins and baboons was amazing . Then the big 5 at Aquila Game Reserve was a hit.
A sunset cruise in Table Bay was breathtaking.
The food was great quality and superb.Food markets very vibey.
Places visited like Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Gordon’s Bay and Hermanus plus the Hemel en Arde wine route was all possible in an our 2 week visit, including a surf at Big Bay.

Wonderful unique amazing photography experience
I loved experiencing/ seeing part of the Annual Migration of Wildebeest, Zebras & Gazelles. Amazing. The wide open beautiful landscape was awe-inspiring.
The resorts in the National Park were fantastic & wonderful refuge after a hot, dusty day photographing the wildlife.

Amazing Destination
We loved our time in Kenya. We went to the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru. All three parks were amazing for different things. The Maasai Mara just had animals everywhere and has the Savannah look that I think most people outside of the continent imagine Africa. Amboseli has the view of Mount Kilimanjaro which is unparalleled by any other view. Lake Nakuru gives the best chance to see Rhinos and would probably interest bird watchers a lot (though Amboseli was really good too).
We loved that we went during the low season when there were less tourists. It slowed us to get closer to animals. Our only thing we weren't prepared for were the women trying to sell their goods outside of each park. They can be very pushy to buy something and you can only buy so much.

An awesome adventure!
Awesome adventure, thrill and excitement of a lifetime might best describe our experience with Tropical Valley Safaris. From the very moment we booked our trip to the parting words of good bye, Tropical Valley made our trip exceptional in every way. The service and every detail of our trip were thought out for the sole purpose of making our holiday memorable. Thank you Tropical Valley for making us feel special as we journeyed across the plains of Kenya. You're the best!

A dream come true
The title sums up our Safari trip. We honestly could not have imagined a better Safari trip. Dan, our tour guide, honestly made the trip by being so knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. He spoke to us about Kenya as a country, explained the history and local life of villages and towns as we drive through them and really gave us a sense of what Kenya is.
The safari its self was honestly breath taking. We saw all of the big 5 and were lucky enough to see 4 of those 5 on our first 2 hour game drive. We had moments of pure tranquility in which we were parked up amongst a heard of elephants, watching them interact with one another and eat. We also experienced a pack of lions waking up from their night sleep and walking casually around us. I can’t express how amazing all of this was.
We stayed in fabulous accommodation (The Mara maisha camp and the sopa lodge) in which the food was outstanding along with the cleanliness, comfort and facilities that were all offered to us. We felt safe at all times.
I can’t express how amazing Dan our tour guide was. He really did make the trip for us!!
I highly recommend Kenya, Mufasa tours and Dan for your Safari!!

Unforgettable!
Our safari was great. At the airport, after resolving a few small problems, we were picked up by the driver and taken to Arusha to a good hotel to spend the night and agree on the Safari that would start the next day. We had booked the Safari from Italy according to what we thought was the best solution with the days available to us. In reality, speaking with the guy of the agency Topi Tours, we fortunately changed the itinerary and agreed on a 5-day and 4-night Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro). Our guide Silas was perfect and showed us many animals, the big five with the exception of the rhino and showed us part of the great migration. Unforgettable!
