Nice small tour operator which you can rely on
We had a really nice tour with Nhlalala Travel. We booked the 3 days Tour to Kruger from Johannesburg. We were no big group. Only the two of us were picked up and drove to Kruger. We were able to choose our hotel by ourselves. We really liked it. Nhlalala Travel has organized our safari tours very well. Our Guide Dan managed everything and we could always communicate with him. We really liked our tour.

Exceeded our expectations, our guide/driver Roland was outstanding, we had the best experience ever!
It was everything we expected and more. Everything was planned booked and carried out with ease. Our driver/guide Roland was the best. He drove safely and everything was organized for complete enjoyment. We actually added on two days and Peter did not bat an eye. He planned our extra two days and what he planned was exactly what we wanted. We would recommend this company totally, you will be so happy.

Trip of a Lifetime
I traveled to Tanzania for safari in Ngorongoro Crater and the Eastern Serengeti and to Rwanda for the Gorilla Trek in May 2023. I made the trip with my twenty something son and future daughter-in-law. I cannot say enough good things about Jessica Mathews and her team at Dancing Zebra Safari. From initial planning through the end of our trip, Jessica made everything easy and seamless. Her knowledge of these countries and the contacts she has made in Africa allowed us to see the best there is to offer. I followed her recommendation to travel from mid to end of May just before the high season to avoid the crowds and am so glad we did. We had hours on the Serengeti without another tour in sight.
Our private guide in Tanzania, Ian, was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about the Serengeti, the many animals to be seen and where the animals would be at any give time of day. As a result, we were able to view all of the animals residing in the park multiple times including lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, hyena, cheetah, endangered rhino, hippopotamus, wildebeest and even the elusive leopard. Without the summer crowds we were also able to view the animals close up, sometimes within only a couple of feet. It was truly magical.
Wanting the truest experience as possible, we stayed in a beautiful camp in the bush of the Serengeti, accompanied by a local lion pride. We came to understand that the lions were not much interested in us and had never attacked camp residents but we were accompanied throughout the camp by a Masai warrior just in case. :)
We then proceeded to Rwanda to see the gorillas. Rwanda is a beautiful country, very lush and tropical. Our private guide, Frank was terrific and as with Ian, was with us daily to make sure all was well and that we got where we needed to go. We hiked approximately two hours to see the gorillas - shorter hikes are available - and upon reaching the gorillas sat amidst a family of about 10, including a nursing baby. It was beautiful to spend time with these amazing, surprising gentle souls while they interacted with each other and on occasion with us. For anyone, who dreams of this experience - as I have for so many years - I strongly recommend taking the trip.
More general information - accommodations were lovely, opulent and beautifully decorated, consistent with the environment. In each location, we each had our own dwelling, consisting a large bedroom, bathroom, sitting area and balcony and in one case, even a private soaking pool. Meals were taken in a communal dining area and the food was quite good and plentiful. Staff at all of the accommodations were welcoming, friendly and professional, ensuring all of our needs and desires were promptly attended to.
This was a bucket list trip for me and it exceeded my expectations in every way. Thank you Jessica, Ian and all of the Dancing Zebra Safari staff for making this dream come true. xoxo

3 day Gorilla trekking tour
What an absolutely amazing experience I had doing the 3 day Gorilla trekking experience with Lulu safaris. From start to finish everything was perfect.
First of all I have to mention Samuel my guide for the 3 days who was brilliant, very friendly and made the 20 hour round journey very pleasant and very interesting with all his knowledge on Uganda & all its different cultures. The accommodation, staff, food and facilities at gorilla mist camp were incredible and extremely good value for money.
The day spent tracking the Gorillas was amazing, our group tracked down the Mishaya family and the hour spent with them is something I’ll never forget. Overall what an incredible experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering doing it! Thanks Lulu safaris for an epic experience.

Extraordinary Experiences and Impeccable service By Silver Tours and Safaris.
We embarked on an awe-inspiring journey to the enchanting Great Maasai Mara in June 2023, curated flawlessly by the exceptional team at Silver Africa Tours and Safaris. This safari proved to be a breathtaking experience, immersing us in the heart of untamed beauty and untethered wildlife.
From the very first step into the Mara, we were captivated by the untamed splendor that unfolded before our eyes. The sprawling savannah stretched out as far as the eye could see, dappled with golden hues under the warm African sun. The air was infused with the vibrant energy of the wilderness, and every breath felt like a precious connection to nature's grandeur.
The Maasai Mara Safari orchestrated by Silver Africa Tours and Safaris surpassed our expectations, leaving us with a newfound love for the untamed wilderness. It was a transformative experience that awakened our senses, kindled our spirit of adventure, and forged an unbreakable bond with the captivating Maasai Mara.
Good Job Silver Africa Tours and looking forward to more exciting experiences in future.

AMAZING SAFARI IN MIKUMI NATIONAL PARK
With Zimto Farm we went to Mikumi National Park, in Tanzania. We were really happy and satisfied. We saw a lot of animals and Baslewis was a perfect driver and guide. We felt safe during our game drive. For us everything was good, also the accommodation inside the park and the food were perfect.
Thank you for this amazing experience.

Exceptional safari experience
An incredible safari experience from Dancing Simba. I booked this for our honeymoon and got in touch with David who was very communicative and informative without putting any pressure on. David is a super nice guy and very professional right up to the point we met after our safari and would help and assist with anything.
Now to the Safari, we started in Seronera Serengeti and finished in Ngorongoro crater seeing all of the big five. Our driver Lunje was a true pro and worked extremely hard to make sure we saw everything and taking time for photos, he was also very knowledgeable and his driving skills were amazing. The tough and varying terrain, plus the sheer scale of the place takes huge amounts of skill and knowledge, Lunje has it all! I even suggested Lunje be a world rally driver for Tanzania as a second career, he was efficient and we always felt safe. Lunje also took good care of us and his vehicle, always doing checks on the car and keeping it clean, very impressive. David also helped give us a lift to Kilimanjaro after our flights were changed from Arusha going above and beyond! I would thoroughly recommend Dancing Simba safaris for your Safari adventure.

Incredible experience with beautiful gorillas and wonderful guides!
We had an incredible time with the Lulu's team. They were very professional, responsive, and high-energy (our driver Charles is the real King Charles!). We had a big group (14 people) and they were able to accommodate all of us.
On the trip itself, what an amazing experience! We saw golden monkeys and spent a day on beautiful Lake Bunyonyi but the highlight was definitely the mountain gorillas. I will never forget being so close to those beautiful creatures and it was all because of the Lulu's team. We cannot recommend them enough!
