Well organized Tour by CATS Africa
We had a wonderful 9 day tour to Kenya. CATS Africa organized our safari so well and everything went smoothly. They gave us a pleasant program that we had never dreamed of. Jack our driver guide was so kind, helpful and patient with us. We will definitely use CATS Africa in our next visit and will recommend it to our friends here in UAE

Highly Recommended
My son wanted to go for a safari for a very long time so we finally decided to take one during his summer break. It turned out to be very educative for him and for us since we never went to any jungle or forest. We went for Masai Mara safari and it was just amazing. Visiting the Maasai village, viewing animals in their natural habitat and spending nights amidst all that was mind blowing. We are planning to have another safari next year now!

Outstanding in every way!
What a perfectly brilliant holiday thanks to Godfrey and his team! They love their beautiful country and want to show it off to it's very best to everyone who visits. There is so much to do! We went to a little coffee plantation where we roasted our own coffee beans. The waterfalls were beautiful and another amazing day out .We watched the people set off from the base camp of Kilimanjaro (We didn't go up but are daughter did and she was extremely impressed with the organisation and great team spirit of Godfrey's team) The Serengeti and Ngongoro safari tour can only be "experienced" as words are insufficient to capture the beauty of the African landscape and animals! I got the most amazing photographs, as our tour guide was always very happy to stop and get us the best position for as long as it took. He also arranged for us to visit a Maasai village.
Our hotels were luxurious in every way. My husband and I felt like we had an incredible holiday at a very competitive price. . Godfrey’s personal attention to detail in arrangements, communication, timing, transportation and continually ensuring we had an excellent holiday exceeded all of our expectations and we would highly recommend Godfrey and his team at African Traits to everyone!

Good safari but unfriendly guide
Safari Right now had good communication before my trip, we had emailed each other a few times to work out an itinerary. They had been personally recommended by a friend living in Tanzania and felt very trustworthy from the start, important as I was travelling as a lone female. The safari itself was amazing and thoroughly recommended, I saw so many incredible animals very close up. I chose a 1:1 personal safari to Manyara
and Ngorongoro crater and the price was competitive.
There were a few criticisms though:
1) The day before the safari I was supposed to have a briefing with the guide, but that didn't happen. This meant I didn't really know what to pack and didn't have a chance to discuss any dietary preferences for the lunchbox/dinner.
2) There was also a last minute swap of guide, that I didn't know about until the new guide (Chale) turned up to collect me. Unfortunately Chale was quite unfriendly and made me feel a bit awkward during the drive and dinner, although he did have a good knowledge of the animals.
3) I recommend double checking exactly what is provided. I had decided to camp and the tent/bedding was supposed to be provided but there were no sheets, pillows or sleeping bag. Take a torch, the campsite is very dark at night and inside the tent!
4) The itinerary said there would be a full day’s game drive on the second day, but the driver actually left at about 1.30 shortly after lunch to visit tourist shops, which was disappointing.
Amazing Adventure tour
Thank you CATS Africa for a wonderful 6 day safari to Kenya, It was professionally organized and we had a fantastic stay. Everything was great, the food was awesome! I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a safari company.

Outstanding from beginning to end
I traveled alone (solo female) on a 14 day self-drive through Namibia and Botswana. With ample help from Cardboard Box, it was the trip of a lifetime. Everything was organized perfectly and accommodations were superb. I kept Norelle on her toes with plenty of questions and changes, but she was always prompt and organized. Highly, highly recommend.

Lifetime Experience Of Masaimara Safari
Kudos to Ms Pamela for organising and arranging Masaimara safari for me & my wife in September 2016 for 3 days and 2 nights. Our guide and driver was Musaga who was a very amiable person and conversing with him english was pleasant. Our accommodation and food in Mara Sopa Lodge was fairly lavish. Even vegetarian guests will not face any problem.The 2 day game drives were exhaustive and very satisfying. We have seen all the animals found in Masaimara except the elusive Leopard. I thank Magical retreats & its team for making our Safari so fruitfull. I would also mention that I had sent 50% of the total value of the tour 4 months in advance of the tour but since Ms Pamela kept a constant contact on WhatsApp & email it kept on reassuring that my money was safe.

A bush experience second to none!
We (a party of 8 comprising two families with children) have recently returned from South Africa having enjoyed a 10 day self-catered, self-drive holiday in Marloth Park as well as a 5-night catered and guided safari arranged by Shaun from Moriti.
Having never been on a ‘proper’ safari before, we were stunned by the attendance of the team that catered for us, the beauty of the bush and the incredible knowledge of our guide, Troy. Based at Angela’s Camp / Lower River Lodge, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five within the first two game drives! Although we only had a good sighting of the resident leopard once (and a flash of his tail on another occasion), we saw the other four every day.
The best part of our twice-daily game drives was checking in with the ‘river pride’ – a resident pride of two male lions, three females and a number of cubs – to see what they were up to. We discovered that their regular routine appears to be as follows: eat buffalo until full, sleep until hungry, repeat! Other highlights include a couple of stand-offs with elephants (expertly handled by Troy), numerous rhino sightings (including some tiny calves) and watching the incredible kamikaze display of the male red-crested korhaan (Lophotis ruficrista). Troy’s knowledge of the animals, birds, insects and trees was simply outstanding and it was a pleasure to be guided by him; he always had something interesting to point out or a funny anecdote to tell.
In between game drives and the seemingly endless amount of eating, we enjoyed swimming and relaxing on the pool deck overlooking the river below – keeping a watchful eye on all the wildlife that criss-crossed the stunning vista was a real treat.
On our last day, Shaun arranged for us to visit the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre where we got to see cheetah up close – a fine conclusion to a wonderful time in the Klaserie reserve.
If you are looking for the experience of a lifetime, Moriti will deliver!
