Wonderful honeymoon organised by Extraordinary Africa
Alex at Extraordinary Africa did a brilliant job organising our honeymoon. We initially started planning our trip with another company, but they didn't help us narrow down our options and listen to what we actually wanted from the trip. Alex certainly did this and came up with some fantastic options for us to choose from and helped us go back and forth whilst we put our whole trip together. She always responded very quickly to all our queries and happily picked up the phone on the weekend - this level of service was great when we were busy at work Monday-Friday.
For the safari element we stayed at Ol Seki camp in a conservancy by the Masai Mara for 4 days and it was exactly what we wanted - wonderful guides, food and the view from the "tent" was exceptional. Our connections to the Seychelles went without a hitch, but we were very aware that Alex would be at the end of the phone if we needed to alter anything!
We wouldn't hesitate in booking with Extraordinary Africa again - the personal service made sure we got exactly what we wanted (and more!) from our holiday.

Great experience!
Me and my husband did a 3-day Safari with It Started in Africa. Our safari experience was amazing! Communication with the company was very efficient and the whole process was very organized.
Solomon was a great guide, very warm, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw almost all the animals we were hoping to see.
We spent the first night at Heaven Nature Camp which was nice and clean. The second night we stayed at Serengeti Heritage which was one of the best parts of the trip. Extremely beautiful nature, great service and food. Simba camp, where we stayed the third night, was nice but it was really cold. Also the toilets were really below standards. But the location was amazing. Christina's house was a great ending to our trip. It's a place that I would definitely love to stay at again.
The food that was served by Serengeti Heritage and Christina's house was great. the food prepared by the chef in Heaven Nature and Simba Camps was good, but the lunch boxes were not. One of the days I couldn't eat anything from the lunch box and I just had some snacks that I brought with me. the car was good, but there were no seat belts.
We had a wonderful time in Tanzania, and I would definitely recommend It Started in Africa

This was my fist time in Africa and in Kenya, and I did a six day safari by myself.
There are no better words to explain my experience with everyone or everythin more than excellent. My expectation were all filled n taken to some extra mile. Thanks for everything.

Excellent preparation of our trip
Excellent organisation of our trip in the Kapama Reserve. Everything went well. We had a very good support from SA360. They sent us, prior to our tour, all the relvant information and answered all our questions.
The tour in Kapama was wonderful, very nice accomodation, warm welcome.
Safari organised very professionnally with excellent rangers and trackers.
If you want to travel individually, do not hesitate to get in touch with SA360. They did for us an fantastic job!

i really enjoyed my safari with Joeddy tours, paul our driver guide was knowlegeable with his work as a guide
Knowledgable, friendly, professional service
This is the second time we have used the services of Joseph at African Coast Travel. From the planning stage of our holiday, right through to seeing us safely across the border to our next lodge, Joseph was so easy to deal with. Emails were always answered quickly and he always listened to what we wanted from our trip, never trying to push activities etc on to us. Once we landed in Victoria Falls, Joseph was there to meet us and took care of everything, so we could just relax and enjoy. We would definitely recommend his services to anyone planning a trip to Botswana, Zimbabwe or Zambia.

Great Tanzania Safari
Our safari with Savannah Explorers was amazing! I researched this trip carefully and found that Savannah Explorers offered us the most for our money. There were three of us and we were very happy with this choice.
Roberto was extremely helpful. We e-mailed and skyped with him. He answered all of our questions promptly and sent us a detailed itinerary and a lot of valuable information about Tanzania and about what we needed for safari. He designed a plan for us according to our wishes. There was never a problem with planning.
We did not see Grayson, but our guide Abdul was great! He showed us so many animals.We saw all of the big five. He was good at spotting animals we otherwise would not have seen and he gave us a wealth of information about the animals, the people and the country. When we asked questions he answered in detail. He stopped often for us to observe and take photos.
Our vehicle was more comfortable than I had imagined it to be, although we drove over many bumpy, rutted roads. Water, soft drinks and beer were provided. We charged our phones and cameras in the vehicle.(Be sure to bring a converter to connect to.) We went on exciting game drives, including a night drive with a different guide. If you go on a night drive, be sure to bring a camera. We saw three cheetahs eating a zebra, which we were told was a rare sighting.
All of our accommodations were beautiful and very comfortable. I especially liked Kati Kati tented camp in the Serengeti. The atmosphere was just what we expected on safari; the food was amazing and the staff, especially David, the camp director, was friendly and very helpful.
Do not miss Ngorongoro Crater. It is worth your while to spend a little extra to stay at the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge at the lip of the crater. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The lodge itself was gorgeous. The view of the crater from the lodge's huge windows, from the terraces and balconies and from our room was magnificent. We saw baboons playing right below our window.
The animals, the terrain, the people, our accommodations-all of our experiences added up to an unforgettable adventure which we highly recommend to everyone. Thank you Savannah Explorers!

Ngorongoro Crater was woderful. Lot of game in a beautiful scenery. Although the camp at the egde of the crater is cool. And cold, so take warm clothes. Loved this place for shoting the milkyway and startrails.

Review about Mikumi National Park by SnowmanStudios.de
We encountered ellies, hippos, and lot of of other game. sadly we couldn´t see any cats, but we had only one day there. The birdlife was crazy.

just incredible!
Serengeti NP was amazing! We had so much wildlife and birdlife as well. We just got from one special sighting to the next one. I did around 30 game drives in diffrent NP´s before, but these 4 days in the Serengeti and the Crater were absolutly stunning.
