Best Safaricompany with specialist knowledge
We had an amazing trip with Around Africa Safaris last year in summer. We saw everything: lions, leopards, gorillas and visited some great community projects. Our guide Michael was superb. He answered all questions and showed us everything we longed for. The communication before and preparation was really fast and on point. If you look for a tour company for tours within East Africa choose Around Africa.

Best trip ever
I went on safari with Rob as my guide in Khwai last year in a mobile camp. I have done a number of Safaris in various countries in Africa and this was just the best. The staff in the camp looked after us really well and there was always plenty of food and drink available. Rob's truck was great with plugs to charge our camera batteries and a fridge which was constantly stocked with soft drinks for us. Rob was very informative as a guide and knew the area well enough to read the wildlife signs and find the wildlife that I wanted to see. He listened to what I wanted to get from the trip and was able to point out birds and reptiles as well as mammals. Before booking the holiday Rob had advised me on the area to visit so that I would have a chance of seeing the animals that I wanted to see. As soon as I got home I started to work out how I could afford to go with him again.

Extraordinary Service!
Erica, Joanne and Kasigo ,
Thank you so much for your hard work.
Without your efforts on getting me the VISA, this extraordinary, memorable for a life time trip would have never happened!
You guys didn't just do you bit, but went above and beyond. We cannot thank you enough.
The safari itself was so well managed and planned , we have had the rear chance to see mating Lions, elephants in musth, family dynamics of a pride, hearing the roars of the pride just outside our tents, close encounters with hippos, zebra crossings ( African style - where a herd of Zebras are actually crossing ), a herd if 35 elephants joining more elephants, experiencing the calm side of a huge male buffalo up close, Hyenas scavenging during the night safaris, beautiful sunrise, exquisite sunsets and the extraordinary night sky where one can actually see one of the Magellanic clouds.
There is so much to write, but more importantly, I again thank you for making it happen and using your contacts and expertise in helping us to get the visa.
Thanks a Million!
Lots of love
Adi

A wonderful journey, over any expectation
Me and my wife spent a wonderful 11 days journey in Zimbabwe: I never met before the Safari T. C. so at first I was attracted from the kindness and the experience of the operator ( miss Ang) but to be honest I could never suppose to live a so beautiful days in Africa. Everything was perfectly organized and the accomodations was sumptuous. For sure in case I will decide to travel again in Africa I will ask Safari T. C again.

Extremely professional, hard working, considerate, and experienced. We loved the camping in the wild
We loved the carefully planned route tracks and huge effort for us to experience the animals and birds. Understood our needs. Loved it.

Super wildlife , beautiful area, great guide
Our safari in Botswana was organised by Rob Barber at Golden Africa. Some of it I the Khwai area in a tented camp, and some of it at the Tubu tree camp. Tubu tree is a luxury lodge with high-quality accommodation, good food and good guides. The highlight of the safari for us, however, was the time that we spent in Khwai being guided by Rob. The accommodation was much less luxurious, but the overall experience was fantastic. Not only is Rob an excellent guide and very skilled at finding the wildlife, he is also an excellent communicator. We not only saw wildlife, we also learned about the different alarm calls, and to look for tracks and signs of the animals. We have been on a number of safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Namibia, but the days with Rob in Botswana were the best, and we are looking forward to our next safari with Golden Africa.

Perfection. Magical and Wonderful Wildlife. Rob was a perfect guide explaining everything.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience travelling and learning about the Okavango Delta than with Golden Africa. Rob our guide had an in depth knowledge of all the wildlife & was able to teach us so much about the Country, Animals and nature around us.
The organisation of the trip was perfect, everything was tailored to what we wanted and was done in a relaxed and professional way. We would recommend a Golden Africa trip to everyone & will be booked another trip in the future.

Can't beat it for the price
My friend and I went on the budget 6 day safari tour with game drives in Ruaha and Mikumi, a hike in Udzungwa (with a really nice swim at the bottom of Sanje falls) and a walking safari in Ruaha. We're both very active people and the idea of sitting in a car for 6 days did not sound appealing - so we were happy to find an inexpensive tour that included some physical activity. Fikiri, our guide, was incredibly knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the region. His English was very, very good (my travel companion is American but lives in Tanzania, and she was "shocked" with his command of the language.) and he was professional and helpful. Considering the price (this was literally the cheapest safari I could find for the number of days we wanted), we thought we would be roughing it, but the accommodations were actually much nicer than we were imagining. We camped 1 night which was perfectly comfy for tent camping and stayed in bandas or other indoor lodgings for the rest of the trip. Particularly nice was Hondohondo, were we spent our last night. We were created with cold avocado smoothies, the garden and grounds were beautiful, the shower was nice and hot and the staff were very nice and friendly.
Of course, the animals were amazing. Lions, giraffes, impalas, wildebeests, jackals, elephants, hippos, hyraxes, baboons, skyes monkeys, vervet monkeys, warthogs, hyenas, kudu, and about a million bird species (including the very beautiful lilac breasted roller, superb starling and paradise wydah bird). I saw more variety that I thought I would and took home some truly incredible photographs.
I would highly recommend Grassroots for young, active people looking to do a budget safari with an active component.

Wonderful !
This holiday ( planned over almost 2 years - to celebrate a 'special' birthday) proved to be be all we hoped for and more. It was fantastic
Throughout the long planning period Eleanor was wonderful. She gave us a great insight into the places we wished to visit, her advice was perfect e.g. It was definitely better to visit Katavi before Mahale. Thank you Ellie you were great !
We have used Safarihub on many occasions and have always been delighted with our trips. Safarihub team is efficient and very knowledgeable - They ensures that any place that clients wish to visit have been vetted by someone from the team !
We look forward to our next Safarihub trip though it will not be somewhat different as we are hoping to take our young grandchildren to introduce them to the wonders of this great country.

10 day Luxury gorilla trekking safari was a trip to remember
Almost every year, we get a luxury trip to our unvisited destinations and this time around, our trip was in Uganda since we wanted to do gorilla trekking. Of course, many would argue that Uganda is not luxury destination when you compare its infrastructure with other destinations but the fact is we were treated to royalty. Expensive and comfortable Toyota safari cars, air charter services, very nice lodges with scenic views, great food, a reasonably great care by gorilla tour booking safari guides, and the liberty to ask whatever we wanted. This was luxury mixed with the best hospitality services. We shall never forget Uganda.
