Best tour operator in all of Tanzania
Deo & his crew are one of the most well respected tour providers in all of Africa. What makes them stand out so much from others is the quality of the guides. The guides you use for your trip greatly determine how enjoyable a time you have and they have the best. I recommend this company to any and every person considering going to Africa. Use them and you will not be disappointed!

Gorgeous country with a lovely culture
South Africa is a beautiful country with lots of mountains! The scenery was simply breathtaking. There were so many highlights in my trip.
1) food: fresh meat, fish and greens. Most of my meals were delicious and the friendly service staff made the whole dining experience unforgettable.
2) scenery: mountains and mountains and mountains everywhere. Every photo was insta-worthy.
3) local culture: the rich history and culture were beyond describable.
4) wildlife: Safari tour at Kruger National Park was exciting! Our tour operator, Elephant herd, was the best. Their guide, Trevor, was a fantastic spotter. Within 1h in the national park, we saw the big 4 already. He was so knowledgeable about all the animals’ and birds! Brandon coordinated and organized all our transport and itinerary at Kruger. Kudos for making our journey memorable.
5) safety: we were warned about the dangers in SA. Thankfully we didn’t encounter any. However, we did avoid going out at night. Didn’t venture into the slums. We ensured no belongings were visible in the rental car.
6) weather: rainy season. Some nights can get really cold and some afternoon were really hot.
SA is a country worth visiting. Must go destination.

Superb service throughout fantastic Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongoro 4 day safari adventure
Our party of four had never visited Africa before and chose Benson Safaris recommended by friends who resided in Tanzania - and they provided great advice and assistance long before even booking the trip. 4 days is a bit short for all of Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongoro, but do not skip any of it, rather add a day or two. We saw all the big five on multiple occassions, masses of wilderbeast and zebras on the plains and many other great animals and each park has its distinct flora and unique splendor. An absolutely overwhelming experience for life! Our guide Issa was extremely knowledgeable and managed to always put us in the right spot at the right time. We highly recommend this operator for safari tours.

It's a country which has honest people and a beautiful environment
People in Tanzania are good and they treat visitors like their king's.they have a wonderful culture and they know how to cook delicious meal, and they are surrounded with a good environment
great private safari delivering everything that was promised
We choose CKC because of John prompt reactions on our e-mails.
We had a 3 day private safari, and especially our driver George made it real pleasure.
We managed to see all animals we wanted to see, amazing how George seemed to be able to find any animal on request: it took him 45 minutes to find mating lions,

Uganda is an underrated destination, would deserve better publicity
We have been fortunate enough to book 2 safari experiences, one going through the Ziwa Rhinos sanctuary and Murchison Falls National Park, where we've been able to see very closely all big five, another going to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where we have been able to observe a Gorillas family.
There are no words to describe how blessed we've been.
The 2 safari tour operators we used (East African Jungle Safaris & Speke Uganda Holidays) were fantastic : very responsive and professional, the drive guides were both very knowledgeable and friendly.
The local population (in Kampala as well as in other locations) is very welcoming.
We highly recommend Uganda as a destination, both cultural and for its wildlfe.
It was breathtaking and we created everlasting memories in just 3 days.
We loved this experience. The wildlife was plentiful and we saw 4 of the big 5 - only missing a Leopard. Nonetheless, the Tau Game Lodge was first rate. Their hospitality and level of service was unmatched. The food was delicious and the chef disussed each dish he created at dinner. And the rangers were experienced, friendly and patient.

Great Safari
My friend and I booked a three-night safari with Karibu Safaris . Our guide Fredrick picked us up at the Nairobi airport and after a pleasant drive we ended up in Masai Mara. We stayed at a midrange tented camp, but other options would have been available if our budget was larger. Our guide proved an excellent companion and knowledgeable game guide. Further he had a rare quality among drivers. He was both fast and cautious and navigated the dirt roads with remarkable efficiency. On our trip we saw a large number of different species often at very close range.will definitely recommend karibu safaris to my friends doing Kenya safari in the future.

What a beautifully amazing and heart-lifting country to visit
South Africa was a life long wait to visit, but absolutely worth the wait. This country challenges your political and social beliefs in a good way; we spent our days divided between Durban and Johannesburg. A safari is on everyone's wish list and ours did NOT disappoint at all, while we didn't complete the check off of all the big 5, we managed 3 and heaps of them, plus many others as well. A visit to Soweto is probably even better, (if that's possible) than a safari and visiting the Apartheid, Mandela and Hector Petersen Museums was truely inspiring and educational and brought many memories of some of these events. WOW what a country.
