Personal service, quick responses and excellent and experienced guide and driver
From the first moment we contacted Ajabu we were happy with the quick and personal responses from Judith, the owner of the company. She answered all our questions, and suggested a programm that suited our wishes very well. Judith was very flexible in adjusting the programm when we asked for that. We planned a 6 days trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. Besides that we made a day trip to Embakaai crater where we descended to the crater lake by foot accompanied by an armed guide. A very beautiful experience away from the beaten tracks and other tourists. A good way to stretch our legs as well. Jumah, our driver and guide, was very experienced in spotting the wildlife. He has excellent knowledge of the animals, their names and background information, and about Tanzania as a whole. He was very patient, always trying to give us a new experience or a better point of view. And besides that, a very pleasant person to travel around with for 6 days. We stayed away from the 'crowds' as much as possible, which gave us the possibility to fully experience the beauty and abundance of nature and its wildlife. We saw so many animals without rushing from one place to the other. Most of the time we stayed in luxury tented camps. For us a wonderful way to experience Tanzania. Closer to nature and still all facilities and a good bed. The staff in the camps was very friendly and gave good service. The 4 wheel drive was very comfortable and spacious. Enough room for all people (4) to stand at the same time and have good views in all directions. Ajabu gave us an experience that was better than we expected! Special thanks to Jumah!

Very Rustic
Khutse Game Reserve is located on the southern border of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve both very remote and undeveloped destinations. These reserves are notorious as very authentic bush destination with wild animals including lions often entering campsites at night.
Ours was a self drive trip and we carried everything including fresh water, extra fuel, etc. Campsites were unfenced with basic amenities including open-air pit toilet and shower cubicles. Note you have to supply and heat your own water.
Game species were not prolific, sparse would be a more appropriate description. This is definitely not a mainstream tourist destination and more suitable for those who have an appreciation for just being out in the African bush…

A never to forget experience that will always be etch in memory
Incredible knowledge about the environment. Delivery of service was extraordinary and exceeded my expectations. The safari tour was more than one could have dreamed of with every need and expectation met, right down to every meal served. And the little touches like the blankets, early morning and late afternoon game drive snacks. Every detail was thought threw for comfort and enjoyment. I loved the spoiling in the bush.

Experience the wildlife of South Africa in relative comfort.
I really enjoyed getting to go on a "Game Drive" through Pilanesberg in 2005. I've seen many of the same animals in zoos, but it's not the same as seeing them in their natural habitat. We saw elephants, white rhinos, a black rhino, crocodiles, hippos, giraffes, zebras, and wild dogs. I was able to get some great video clips and photos, but was wishing my camera had a better optical zoom. The weather was beautiful and clear, with great visibility over distances. Our tour guide was very informative, explaning reasons for grazing habits and behaviors of various animals, and how they related to the natural defense mechanisms of the plantlife. Other than our tour vehicles, I don't recall seeing anyone else around the park when we were there (I was with a fairly large group). Though the environment felt like you were out in the wild, the accomodations were comfortable enough, and the evening "Bush Brie" we ate at was delicious and unique. Everyone was able to sample a variety of meats and specially prepared dishes, and there was plenty to go around. We spent the night in small wooden cabins furnished with cots & lockers, as well as a couple of chairs or stools, and working electricity. Overall it was a great experience, and I'd love to go again some day.
a nightlife in Khutse _ very thrilling and one of the scariest night in my life
Excellent - bush camp with toilet and camp fire facilities. Need to take your tent, woods. Water and food. I recommend this place.

On top of Africa with MJ Safaris
My girlfriend and me went from Kenya to Tanzania in the matter of climbing Kilimanjaro. We took a bus to Moshi and met the tour operator Jackson. In the same evening we went to a local restaurant and on our way back to our hostel we were roped. We called Jackson because he was the only guy we knew in Tanzania. He stood up in the middle of the night and came to help us. We supposed to start the climb the day after the accident but we could not because we should have made a new passport. In one week Jackson was so helpful and he took us to the hospital and the police station to get our documents. After that week we were ready to start the hike. It was the most beautiful experience standing on Uhuru peak and see the sunrise in a great panorama view. After our experiences with Jackson and his company, MJ Safaris, we can only give him and his company the best recommendation because of a service level higher that we have ever experienced in Africa before.

Great service, great knowledge, very friendly
We were in Namibia in march 2012. In september 2014 we go to Namibia again. It's a great country, beautiful scenery, very nice people and great places to stay. Cardboardbox arranged everything for us. They have a great car rental place. They pick you up from the airport and bring you back. If you have troubles they come and help you (was not nessecary) The website of Cardboardbox shows under lodges all the places you want to go to. I made an itinerary myself and asked them to review it. They came with great suggestions. And the they book everything for you. They can book the parks in Namibia much easier and sooner than you can do it yourself. And there are some people who say it is not to save to give every place your creditcard data. With Cardboardbox you pay them en they arrange everything. At no cost for you. They sent you all the vouchers and a lot of information (very helpful) through email. I recommend Cardboard box to everyone who travels to this wonderful country (and to Botswana)
