Gerald was experienced, professional, and most importantly he was very personal.
Our trip to Kenya and Tanzania was a trip of a lifetime. We were totally amazed at how affordable the 22 day trip was. The U.S. dollar goes a long way in Africa. We have traveled to many countries using tour operators, but the Landsman experience was outstanding. Our every need and request was important to Landsman's professionals and they went to great lengths to satisfy our every request. Our daily briefings were exceptional, after dinner each evening, allowing us to understand and be ready for the next day's activities. We were fortunate to see all of the "Big Five." Our guide continued to amaze us taking us to locations many of the other companies didn't go to and we were always rewarded with great finds. We made several moves from camp to camp and Landsman made sure we were treated with the greatest respect and service available at each location; he didn't just accept their standard service.

An unforgettable experience
We did a safari to celebrate our anniversary in August. We had such an incredible time. Meru slopes organised everything for us, from accommodation to meals and everything was even more incredible than we could have hoped.
Our tour guide Amani was fantastic. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the parks and the animals. We had an anniversary to remember and couldn't recommend this organisation and Amani more to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much!

Hans Genda is Simply the Best!
After going on Safari in Tanzania, with Hans as our guide, I knew I needed to bring my children and grandchildren to see these fabulous creatures. Two trips later I still say Hans is the best. He knows where to find the animals. His knowledge of The Serengeti is amazing. And he is kindness personified I wish all people could experience this Safari.

Wildlife Haven
I was expecting to see wildlife but seeing all the animals so close was an absolutely amazing experience. Definitely would recommend visiting Tanzania and Zanzibar as well.

Thoughtful choices of accommodation and activities
Michelle crafted an excellent and thoughtful itinerary for our three weeks in Southern Africa, including safaris at Sabi Sands, Klaserie and a day trip into Botswana (Chobe) from Victoria Falls. Arathusa Lodge in Sabi was great, with views of the watering hole and lots of visiting wildlife from our bedroom window. Klaserie Drift was a tranquil place to unwind and with all the creature comforts. The complimentary laundry service was much appreciated! We ticked off the obligatory Big 5 in the first few days on safari, saw lots of other animals and learned a lot from the informative guides. All the internal flights and transfers worked seamlessly to ensure a stress free holiday. The Blyde River Canyon and Victoria Falls are a must to add to a safari adventure. Definitely recommend Ilala Lodge, where you can see the spray from the falls whilst enjoying breakfast on the terrace. We also explored Cape Town and surrounds before self-driving the Garden Route. Thank you Michelle for pulling it all together and all the invaluable advice. The Travelkey app was very useful too.

Best trip ever
The experience of this trip is beyond my imagination! At the beginning, Joseph showed his extremely strong professionalism when he docked with the travel agency staff. The recommended travel routes, vehicles and hotels are the best, and they can also give us a very low price compared with other agencies! Simon, the driver and guide, is also very professional! No matter what animals we want to see, he will promise and then take us to see them that day. We actually saw cheetahs and lions on the same afternoon! At the same time, Simon's driving skills are particularly good, and driving on dirt roads is basically not uncomfortable! This one is highly recommended!

We recommand highly Bush Sand for any activities you need in Botswana as they are professional
We asked informations for game drives in Moremi/Khwaï and we receive the exactly responses we need, Kevin replied every message immediately and took care of everything seamlessly.The whole itinerary is very well balanced, scheduled and organized.
On the first day the driver had a car breakdown in Khwai, which was a bit sad, because we could not do the sunset game drive (that I really looked forward to do). kevin helped us rearranged another night game drive for us, operated by our lodge. And finally because of this issue, we got a partial refund. Great job Bush Sand!!!!
On the second day we had a Mokoro tour for 2 hours, with a guide very professional, with a lot of details about the flower, the delta, the birds and very safe too. During the daytime game drive we had a fantastic time and saw lots of amazing wildlife and landscapes. I really enjoyed the camping night, we blended into the nature, sleeping with animals croaking and roaring.
The negative aspect to point out is the road condition on the third day. I would strongly suggest fly-out option back to Maun. the road massage is too long and we jolted with the vehicle the whole day. My powder was shattered.
The trip was filled with spectacular wildlife sightings, including lions, elephants, hippos, leopards, and herds of zebras, buffaloes, and wildebeest.
Thanks team, thanks Kevin and RELAX(our driver and guide)!!!

I could not ask for a more knowledgeable and kind person to share his country with to his clients
I was first introduced to Affable Tours and Hosking Agoi in August of 2022, thru a family friend and returned again in August of 2023. I enjoyed both experiences, same friend, different travelers.
This year I returned again in October and this time, with my own small group of 2 and was again very happy to have Agoi as our guide. I can't say enough about the experience with Agoi and Affable Tours. He made sure we were comfortable, informed and having a good time. His knowledge of his country, its history, the animals and birds, the geography and all things Kenya is superb. His kindness stands out, making the trip an amazing experience. When I say kindness, this includes kindness towards his clients as well as all the other people he deals with on our travels. He was great to work with to complete an itinerary I was happy with.
I wanted to add Tanzania (game drives) and Zanzibar to my trip and Agoi was able to make that happen. Everything was set up according to our plan. My group flew to Zanzibar for 3 days then back to Nairobi and more game drives in Samburu, Kenya. We enjoyed Tanzania, (had a Tanzanian driver and Agoi) but I don't think I'll return to Zanzibar (it wasn't my cup of tea).
Agoi's many contacts and skills as a businessman helped make this trip, not only amazing but eye-opening as well. The plight of the Kenyan people is nothing short of sad. It brings tears to my eyes. I'm amazed by their resilience and tenacity to keep positive and determined to survive despite their living conditions and I'm sure some feelings of helplessness.
I will be planning another trip(s), hopefully bringing along others to share in this experience, I will not hesitate to connect with Agoi and Affable Tours for my future trips.
