Thank you for an extraordinary and unforgettable experience!!
9 marvelous days of being on the road with three Safari trucks and tour guides from Savannah Explorers. Nothing could have prepared us for such an unbelievable experience!! From the very first moment we felt very comfortable with Greyson, George and Masaki. They were excellent and safe drivers and everyone in our group of 21 from Germany (including my two wonderful sisters Karin and Inke) had only good words to say about them. George was our guide in car No.2 and I felt that he had such an amazing intuitive connection with nature. I am sure he spotted every single camouflaged animal on our way that we would have missed for sure (never mind, we DID see the giraffes and elephants without his help!!), and we saw them all: Elephants, giraffes, Hippos, lions, leopards, monkeys, even a cheetah. George also showed an incredible knowledge about them and their natural habitat and never got tired to explain everything in detail.
Masaki knew a lot of German, so the company even provided the group with a German translator.
Greyson made sure that all went smooth and without problems. Did he ever sleep? He was always smiling and in a good mood and ready to answer any question or offer his help . After a long day when we relaxed in beautiful lounges, our tour guides cleaned the trucks, stocked them with cold water, soft drinks, breakfast and lunch boxes and yeah!!! an ice cold beer for lunch, with lions just sitting right beside our truck.
Thinking back of all these long but unforgettable hours in the comfortable safari trucks I feel that Savannah Explorers offered absolutely top quality service and I would love to recommend them to anybody who is looking for a very well organized and well prepared Safari experience with super friendly and efficient guides. All of us in our group agreed on this and my sisters and I hope to come back to Tanzania one day for another unique experience.

Trip of a Lifetime
We gave Cuan a budget and a time frame and he sent us on the trip of a lifetime. We were away for a day short of three (3) weeks. If you were to say what was the high-light of the trip, we'd have to say "every minute between landing at O.R. Tambo Airport, Johannesburg on day one and leaving O.R. Tambo Airport on day 20".
During our trip, we continued to to receive helpful advice via e-mail: e.g. When in Cape Town - Us: "Don't feel like going up Table Mountain today, too tired, maybe tomorrow". Cuan: "Go now! Weather tomorrow is not encouraging". So we went and saw a spectacular sunset. The next day the mountain was closed.
The safaris were fantastic. During a night safari, we got so close to a leopard that we could have patted it (not recommended). At no time did we feel in danger. The trackers and the guides were exceptional.
Add to this the Battlefields (Boer War and Zulu Wars), the bigcat rescue place and Victoria Falls and you've just begun to hear about the "high-lights".
We cannot speak too highly of Cuan and African Ubuntu Safaris.
Anyone contemplating a trip to Africa should first call Cuan McLaren.

Well organised trip and experience of a lifetime
Ubuntu were recommended to us and they did not disappoint. They recommended and put together an itinerary of 3 different safari lodges and tented camps in South Africa and Botswana as well as the Victoria Falls hotel in Zimbabwe. All were unique and spectacular with their own natural features and interaction with animal life. Ubuntu staff were responsible for various internal ground transfers for accommodation and side trips, all reliably running according to schedule.
Thanks Ubuntu for making this trip a sensational experience.

Safari and Zanzibar Trip Exceeded Expectations
My girlfriend and I just returned from a 3 day safari (Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater) and a 7 night trip to Zanzibar, all booked with Safari Infinity. Overall, Lucia, Simon and the team exceeded our expectations. There is a reason these guys have such good ratings.
Things we specifically liked were:
- Extremely speedy and helpful e-mail contact (from the first day to the very end)
- High attention to detail
- Talented, knowledge and personable safari guide (Adamson)
- Follow-up throughout the trip (by phone or in person) to ensure everything is running smoothly
- Excellent logistical planning. Transfers and transportation all worked perfectly
- Tailored our safari to what we were looking to see
- Great local knowledge of the areas in Tanzania that helped tailor specific activities
- Nice safari vehicles (we had a private vehicle which was nice)
- Tried to go above and beyond by upgrading our rooms or even arranging special bottles of wine/champagne
- Friendly, laid-back but highly competent staff
I would not hesitate to recommend Safari Infinity to anyone looking to book a safari or other travel.

Excellent!
My trip in Malawi with AWT was a great experience. Wonderful landscapes, nature, people,true african life. Francesca and Stefano are very professional guide, they know the country and make you feel good in a friendly atmosphere.
Best park in Tanzania
This park is, hands down, our favorite place in Tanzania. No matter what time of year you visit, you will always see lions, cheetahs, oodles of wildebeest, giraffe and many other animals. Depending on the length of your stay, you should also be able to see a leopard or two.
Highly recommend it!

The most amazing trip I made in my life!
During our safari drive in Tembe Park there was an elephant coming at us in a threatening way, while we were sitting in the jeep. This is one of the most impressive moments of our trip. The elephant stopped at only 2 meters away form us, observed us for a while, and then turned around to proceed what he was doing. It’s amazing to see an elephant from this close! We’ve seen lots of animals during this safari at the beautiful wildlife reserves. We’ve visited fantastic destinations, like Kosi Bay and Drakensberg. This is the most amazing trip I made in my life; thanks to Tailor Made Safaris!

Very enjoyable exploration of Tarangire National Park
We liked our trip to Tarangire National Park with Macho Halisi very much. The tour was very well organized and we enjoyed the relaxed and friendly atmosphere created by our tour guide. The program was very well adapted to our personal wishes on a day-to-day basis.
Everything we had hoped it would be - we could not have asked for more!
The whole holiday, from booking to travel, transfers, accommodation and guide was perfect. This was our first safari and it more than lived up to our expectations. Sadaani was idyllic and the safari guide and camp staff were knowledgable, generous and very welcoming.
