Phenomenal Experience!
We had a phenomenal experience in Africa! A big part of that was thanks to Jesse Mfoi and his company, Naenda Safaris. They worked with our limited schedule and personalized an adventure-filled 3 day/2 night safari for us – lodging and meals included. We were able to experience Tarangire National Park, a quick overview of the Ngorogoro Crater and two full days on the Serengeti. We could not have asked for a better guide or itinerary! Jesse is very knowledgeable and made sure we saw as many animals as possible in that short time! He took great care of us! He loves what he does and it shows!
Planning adventures in a different country can be overwhelming. If you are researching safari companies, look no further! You just found it!

Super safari
We have had avery nic safari with tatanca. A two day trip to Ruaha was absolutely marvellous. We went in low season which is higly recommendable with all the vegetation. Nontheless we have seen many animals and we almost had the park for ourselves. I would rate the service from Tatanca with a 9. The driver (Michael) is a very kind person and know a lot about nature and the animals. Next time i would book again with this operator. Thanks!

Easy and true to description
This was my second safari in Eastern Africa and by far my favorite. Our safari guides were incredibly knowledgable, professional, and kind. The accomodations were all lovely and exactly as pictured. The best part was that East Africa Wild worked with us to ensure we had a trip that suited our budget while provided exposure to the varying game areas acrosss Kenya. Lake Nukuru was among my favorite. Booking was also simple and straight forward while no detail of the trip was overlooked. A very trustworthy and professional outfitter.

The perfect honeymoon!
We're used to making up holidays as we go along, and doing things on more of a budget, however after deciding to go to the Okavango Delta for our Honeymoon decided to let someone else organise it and allow ourselves to totally relax. Mark at Gondwana was incredibly helpful from day 1, allowing us to repeatedly alter his suggested itinerary and answering all our questions while we did so.
Mark met us personally at Maun airport (with a bottle of fizz!) which was hugely appreciated, and from then on we didn't need to think about a thing. All the transfers were on time and comfortable - especially a specially requested morning flight into the Delta, and the accommodation was perfect, especially Pom Pom which was incredible! We're so glad we used Gondwana and had the most amazing and relaxing honeymoon as a result!

Zimbabwe is worth to visit more than once
Twice I've traveled in Zimbabwe with strong support of Nyati Travel. The vast landscapes and national parks are great, in the rural villages you will experience an authentic African atmosphere, and the people are extremely friendly. Like no other Nyati Travel knows the country, and as nobody else Nyati's mixed Dutch/Zimbabwean management (André, Goof and Elisabeth) knows to make a connection between what Western tourists expect and what Zimbabwe has to offer. Zimbabwe has not yet been discovered (and affected) by mass tourism. Even in the touristic highlights (Matopos, Eastern Highlands, Chimanimani, Zimbabwe ruins, Hwange, Victoria Falls) it is quiet. After two visits for sure I will go to Zimbabwe for a third time.

Extremely disappointing with a lack of respect and courtesy from driver-guide
Driver/guide Haron was rude to us, rolled his eyes if we asked to have the engine turned off to watch wildlife, and raised his voice at me when we chose not to visit a Maasai Village (perhaps he was not getting a cut of the $100). I trusted to go with this company as the Mt Kili guide had been recommended to me had set this tour up; this was a mistake and despite the Kili guide tipping Haron $100 in advance to take good care of me, the customer service was poor. Perhaps Haron was not expecting to be called out on Dec 31 New Year's Eve . . . regardless, the other couple and myself treated poorly.

Fantastic tour operator and extremely helpful/informative
Myself and my wife travelled with Umubano Tours in March 2015 and we have nothing but good things to say about the company or their staff.
All enquiries before the trip were made with Herbert, who answered all questions (big or small) and also was also willing to answer questions which were not about the tour.
Herbert was willing to structure our tour around what we wanted to do and there were no pressures to stay to a standard/ready-made tour, although there were some example itineraries and Herbert's assistance to guide us. A variety of hotels/lodges were also offered subject to our budget.
Once all aspects had been agreed, a full detailed itinerary was provided along with some additional useful information about the country itself.
On arrival we were met by Bosco who was to be our guide for the next five days. From beginning to end Bosco was a great guide, being informative and helpful throughout our stay - he would also always make sure that we were well fed!
In addition to the information about the area/gorillas, Bosco was also kind enough to share his personal experiences as well, including those of the Genocide, gorillas and his (many) children.
Wherever we went with Bosco we always felt safe and welcomed - especially as Bosco seemed to know everyone!
If anyone is considering using Umubano Tours I would have no hesitation in recommending them as highly as possible.
Thanks again for the memories!
