Tanzania Northern Circle Safari
Just completed a wonderful weeklong trip to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Safari with e-Trip Africa. Great experience, every detail was handled and prepared properly. Ben Jennings is great, our guide/driver David knew where to go, what to look for and get us to and from the camp safely no matter the weather.
We saw all we wanted to see. Will definitely do it again with them.

Highly enjoyable and recommendable
Selecting a safari can be mind-boggling. We chose well when we chose Viva for Kruger Park. Clearly Viva understands the importance of their guests' expectations and meets them admirably. It was not expensive and gave us a brilliant first-time experience. Although the "processing" of guests runs like a well-oiled machine, the politeness, hospitality and grace of staff members was unfailing. Furthermore, when I was ill, they arranged a doctors' appointment, had one of their drivers take me to it and a staff member collected my medication. We had a room at Katekani which matched my dreams and delicious home cooking with plenty of variety, served with style. Gertrude and Margaret, our "hostesses", are gems. I hope they're treasured as employees, along with the Guides and Drivers. Having worked in hospitality and as a Guide, I recognise that shifts can be long, tedious and underpaid, especially in the affordable sector. I hope they are all rewarded suitably. Our game drives always included lots of thrilling animal sightings and entertaining, informative commentary. One tip: never rely on the weather and always take a jacket, preferably hooded. When night falls or the wind comes up, you don't want it to spoil your enjoyment.

Very professional and friendly service
We had a wonderful holiday in the Kruger National Park, and Jamela Africa Safaris did an excellent job to make our holiday a wonderful experience. Sheilagh went out of her way to tailor make our holiday exactly as we want it. She did all our bookings and communicate with up on a regular basis. We want to travel to Botswana and Zambia next year and I will definitely make use of her again. Thanks Sheilagh.

this company has reasonable price & good guide
I chose this company because of my friend.
She used this company and she was satisfied 100%! And so I am!
I already had Serengeti safari so I had low expectation but wowww.. I was wrong!
First of all, the guide was really funny and full experienced man that he drove really fast but safely ;-)
We didnt miss one little thing compare to other tour teams.
We were really lucky that we saw Big 4.5 (It was really hard to see hippos. We saw it but honestly it was pretty far away that I can tell I saw Big 4.5 but actually, other companies had same situation!)
Food and tent were also very good.
The place we stayed was pretty close to the park so we didnt waste of our time on the road to the park.
The local people around the tents, they would guide you for free.
We give them some money but it was nice to see them not to ask / force any money guide around their place.
Anyways. my 2 nights 3 days were really enjoyable.
The safari tour fee is really... Read more reasonable that I compared to many other companies but here was the best.
If you are not looking for a luxurious safari, I think Baboon budget is all good!
Trust me and contact Dennis!

Namib Desert Ride.
I have done many riding trips but this was probably my favourite. To see no, litter, buildings, pylons or aeroplanes and few 4 x 4s for 9 days was not something I had experienced before and must be fairly unique. The surroundings were really breath-taking. I can take or leave game in places like Kenya, but in Namibia, where there is literally no water, it was frankly a miracle and therefore a privilege to see herds of oryx, springbok, zebra and wildebeest and healthy looking ones at that. The dedication of the staff on this trip left me speechless: they have what I would cause a skeleton crew on this trip but they worked tirelessly to ensure the horses received the best of care and that we as guests were properly looked after. The bed rolls are worthy of a special mention in dispatches. Vincent and Phoebe created banquets in the trailer kitchen! The riding was not for the faint-hearted which was exactly as it should be in such a vast landscape: forward-going and fast. Andrew Gillies was a great guide: a raconteur to be sure, but impressively knowledgable and responsible without being boring. Lastly the horses were some of the best I had ridden on trips: supremely fit and in great condition, but with little quirks in their characters that come with herd life. My only criticism is of myself: for not bringing enough warm clothes - it seems you can never have enough (we were advised to bring plenty): the desert can be really, really cold at night. I can't wait to go back: with extra layers.

It was a Great Time for our Family
We took Kenya wildlife safari for our family vacation few weeks back. As expected, it was really great. Our tour guide ensured to make this a happy family time for us. We went for animal sight-seeing along the banks of Mara River and also took the hot air balloon ride. It was a great time for our family.

Considerating we are an ocean and continent apart our service was withoutany problems and worked out
Sabi Sabi Little Bush was absolutely delighful, perfect and beyond our expectations. The accomodations were well appointed, comfortable and certainly 5 star. The ranger and guide were polite and knowlegeable beyond our expectations. The food was great and each evening the settings were all different for the four nights that we were there. The staff were polite and accomodating in every respect. If Little Bush wasn't 22 hours of flight time away we would revisit again.

Amazing trip
We did the 5 day safari with Viva Safari. The first night was Tremisana Game Lodge. This is an good quality for the price. The rooms are basic but complete and clean. As for the staff, they are great !!! Whether guides, drivers or staff of the lodge, all are very friendly. We particularly enjoyed the guides (Rex and ) who made the Bush walk with us, what an experience !!! All the other activities were really great and for a first safari it's perfect.
After that, we stayed at Katekani Tented Lodge. Our stay there was amazing and I recommend this wonderful place without any hesitation.
It is a small camp with 4 bedroom (and 2 other building), very quiet and cozy. The rooms are gorgeous, very well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. You cannot feel that your are sleeping in tents.Elena is an amazing host. She is very dedicated and made sure our stay unforgettable. She is an excellent cook, every meal was a delight. All meals were prepared according to our tastes and preferences. We really enjoyed our trip with Viva safari.

Amazing Trip of a Lifetime! Perfect in Every Way.
We just came back from a 6 Day Safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. It was perfect! Wildebeest Safaris has been a complete pleasure to work with from Day 1. Noah was incredibly responsive getting our safari setup and reserved, and communicating the plan every step of the way. When we arrived, our guide (Hamza) was at the airport to greet us. He was a phenomenal guide and provided so much insight about Africa, Tanzania, the culture, the wildlife, and everything in between. He went above and beyond with everything and always got us right up in the action! Couldn't have asked for a better guide to spend our safari with. I would recommend Wildebeest Safari to anyone, and will definitely be coming back to book with them again! Thank you Noah and Hamza for giving us a trip of a lifetime!
