African Ubuntu Safaris, through Cuen McLaren, were most professional in organising all arrangements.
The whole safari experience exceeded all our wildest expectations. The driver guides, Peter of Pollmans in Kenya and Simon with Rangers in Tanzania were outstanding in their knowledge of and ability to find all types of wildlife. All the Lodge accommodation together with meals was first class. As far as value for money is concerned I don't believe you could find better. For the experience of a lifetime I would unreservedly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris.

Amazing Safari Experience
We went to 4 different natural parks and natural reserves in Kenya and the experience was amazing. Very safe and comfortable. I cannot recommend Tayiai Safaris enough.

Tour of a Lifetime
An African safari was always on my bucket list, especially visiting the world renowned Serengeti. Tanganyika Ancients Routes took this expedition beyond my wildest expectations. The accommodations were comfortable with excellent food. We also got to see copious wildlife in their natural habitat. We saw the Big 5 and all the animals indigenous to Tanzania. Our tour guides were blessed with wonderful eyes and great knowledge of the geography and animals’ behaviors. We were constantly taught something and we left with a huge bank of new knowledge.
I was really impressed with the flexibility of Charle’s team. Each tour was tailored to fulfill our wishes. We had a total party of ten and we were all kept happy. Our tour guides were like family and we have made friends for life. Although they were professional, we were treated like friends rather than clients. We felt safe at all times. My favorite experience was watching the sunset on the Serengeti with the lions some hundred yards in the background. There were many sights and scenes that will stay with you for a lifetime. I highly recommend Tanganyika Ancient Routes without reservation.

Excellent company
This is an excellent company to use to organise your travel in Zimbabwe. Monika is really easy to deal with - she responds straight away to your emails, she is a fount of wisdom and knowledge, and she is honest as well. She was happy to offer us suggestions, such as ways for us to save money or places that were more convenient to us.
The thing that first-timers may not realise about Zimbabwe is that if you book hotels through a tour operator like The Safari Source, you get an honest price and by using the one company it means that you don't have to email all of the different places you plan to stay at and have lots of different bookings. It's much easier to plan your holiday this way - just contact one person and have them do all of the running around for you, knowing that you are paying the right price. Plus Monika can get you better deals on your transport hire (ie. car and driver) than you could yourself, and you know that they will be reliable. Local tour operators like TSS won't use unreliable people, but unless you live in the country you may not know who is reliable and who isn't.
I would definitely recommend The Safari Source to anyone that wants to visit Zimbabwe, and I will certainly be using them again. And I would definitely recommend Zimbabwe as a wonderful country to visit.

100% success on Kili with a very professional supportteam plus Safari
We were a group of four men from Germany in their late thirties and can fully recommend Focus in Africa. Very professional guides, good equipment and great support before and during the trip. We did the Machame route, 5 days up, one day down to celebrate new years (which I would not recommend). After a day break we went to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Arusha National Park. The first two were fantastic, the last park not necessary, better to go to Serengeti or Tarangire.

An excellent tour Company!
We went to Maasai Mara and Tayiai village in May, together with the superb guide Lenny Koshal, who also is the owner of Tayiai Safaris.
Lenny knows how to treat a customer and answered very rapidly on mails and also made a very clear itinerary what we could expect through the tour.
Comparing to other companies the tour was of excellent value. The cost differs depending on the accommodation provided and as Tayiai Safaris do tailor made tours, we could choose our own standard of lodge and we also got the whole van to ourselves. When you travel to Maasai Mara you can see many Vans with 7-8 people, tightly packes. That was not the case with a tailor made tour.
Together with an extra driver Lenny drove us safely from our home in Nairobi(we lived in Kenya at that moment) and during the game drives Lenny showed his huge knowledge of wildlife, spotting different animals and he could answer all the questions we had.
After our first meeting we have been to other shorter Tours with Tayiai Safaris, for example an day walk in Karura Forrest and also a hill walk at Ngong Hills.
I would highly recommend Tayiai safaris as your tour organizer, I assure you that you wont be disappointed.

Fantastic trip to South Africa
We travelled to South Africa in Dec 2014 as a group of 5 and stayed in 2 camps in greater Kruger national park over 7 nights. Both camps were brilliant. We then went on to Cape Town for 8 nights. Everything went according to plan and the recommendations from Natasha were great! The safari was better than we imagined and Cape Town was also beautiful with plenty to do! Natasha was always very fast responding when I had a query. I would certainly book a safari through Sun Safaris again. Excellent service!

Kosen Safaris is great!!!
Kosen safaris offers a unique individualized experience. Having had the luxury of previous safaris in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and now Kenya and Tanzania, I can express deep appreciation for his knowledge. His ability to meet the needs of his customers is unsurpassed. Kosen learned safari guiding from his father. His desire to carry on this family tradition of practicing respect and honor of all wildlife is clearly demonstrated in his guide service. Kosen likes to share "the road less traveled" and his experience was clearly evident. He was in his element both in the wild and in the city. African travel is not cheap. Kosen is worth every cent. I will book with him again.
