Flash vacation in South Africa
We only had five full days to explore South Africa, and so we booked a tour with Williem for two of those days. I am so glad that we did, we were able to see so much, and the tour really made the country come alive for us. A lot of little things, like Williem bringing binocilars for us to use, and sending his proffesional-grade photos after the tour etc, totaled up to make the trip extra special. I would recomend this tour to anyone that can spend any amount of time in South Africa.

Excellent service planning the trip; Top-Notch safari guide
We had a very good experience with African Scenic Safaris on a 6-day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. David was a very good guide. We liked how he often made us feel like we were the only ones out there looking for animals, even though there were of course many other vehicles out there. He rarely followed the crowd, which to us seemed like a good approach. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the landscape and he welcomed our many, many questions.
Before the trip Amanda was so helpful and responsive. She gave us options and adapted our itinerary according to our priorities in balancing luxury with cost-savings. When we had to cut out a 3-day mountain climb from our itinerary due to an injury two weeks prior to the trip, she was very gracious about it.

Great holiday with an excellent tour operator.
My wife and I recently booked a trip to Diani Beach with Edith from Kenya Safari Arcade.
The whole process was so smooth - Edith recommended several hotels for us to choose from and after we had made our selection she arranged everything on our behalf, from the hotel room to our flights and the transfers. All we had to do was turn up at the airport.
Edith was always quick to answer our questions and everything from start to finish could not have been easier.
The flight and transfers were excellent and the hotel itself was a great recommendation, meaning that we had a very relaxing stay at the coast.
Thanks Edith!

Two Thumbs Up!!!
We were totally satisfied with their service. They were always trying to suit our schedule and our guide, Nelson was so experienced. They were also reasonable, polite and honest. I would definitely choose Campofrio Safaris if I came back to Kenya.
Fun friendly knowedgeable service
I went with Godwin and Stanley of Yala Safaris on a tour around the Fort Portal and Queen Elizabeth area, including highlights such as hiking in the Rwenzori mountains and chimp trekking in Kibale, and staying in great accomodation in beautiful surroundings. Godwin ensured that the whole thing went smoothly and enjoyably, and that we got it all for a an extremely fair price. I will be using them again and I would definitely recommend them to anyone else thinking of visiting Uganda!

Superb Experience
Splendor holidays is a very reliable and helpful operator. We had been provided the best Safari experience by them. The safari guide who accompanied us has done a great job in helping us explore the Masai Mara. The resort they chose for us was superb with very comfortable rooms, very scenic too.

Safari on the go
On a Saturday, I'd decided I wanted to go to South Africa. Yup. I managed to get last minute tickets from Delta for Sunday early morning flying from Montreal, a stop by Atlanta, and finally to Pretoria. While I waited at the airport to fly to South Africa, I got the idea that THE thing to do in South Africa would be to go on a safari – little did I know people planned and booked a year in advance to for these sort of trips. In between airport WI-FIs, I contacted many people from safaribookings.com. They were all quite nice, but they all gave me the same answer that this was really a last minute request and they couldn't really accommodate.
Then I contacted Adventure Anywhere and Ryan replied that despite the difficulties, he could work something out. I only needed a few email exchanges in-between connecting flights to have a 4 day safari planned. By the time I landed in South Africa, it was as easy as a few follow up calls where I was put in contact with Doug. Doug was an expert guide, but more than that, he managed to negotiate a last minute bush walk which was the ultimate experience of the whole trip. I'm sure I wasn't the easiest of client to deal with, but Adventure Anywhere was able to accommodate what was essentially a hard ask from me, and for that I highly recommend them.
If I was able to get a great experience with little planning, I can only image what they can do with some more leeway.

Wonderful experience!
It was our first time on a safari and it was a wonderful experience! We saw 3 of the big 5, but that was no big deal. We did see a rare black rhino as well.
The best part was the surprise bush braai, which was really amazing!

Wonderful Honeymoon - thanks to Ker Downey Africa!
We will not think twice about using Ker Downey Africa for all our future travels. Their level of professionalism is of the highest standard and I have to compliment them on the friendly and attentive manner in which all our many, many questions and requests were dealt with (especially since I can be a bit of a perfectionist!). We decided to spend our honeymoon in Seychelles but wanted to experience two of the islands, which meant organising two hotels, extra connecting local flights and additional transport to and from the airport - not to mention researching double the amount of room options and honeymoon specials... All of this while having a wedding to plan! Handing over all the planning to KDA was one of the best decision we could have made. We gave them our budget and they took care of the rest! Everything was arranged up to the last little detail!
