Fun for everyone with an experienced in personal guide
Have been coming to South Africa since 2002. I have done many safaris in Kruger Park. This is by far the most exciting fun experience I have had in the bush. The guide was very knowledgeable and experienced, while also being extremely accommodating to the people on our trip. Next time I'm up for Safari I will not choose any other.
We started out with a guide named Shaun, we ended up leaving a good friend behind.

Fabulous experience with Wild-Wings-Safaris in Kruger Park
From the very beginning of our planning for this trip, Clare, our Wild-Wings agent, was totally on top of every detail and e-mailed frequently to keep us up-to-date. Simon, our guide for the 5 days, was outstanding, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He went out of his way to be sure we knew what was going to happen everyday and was a wealth of information on mammals, birds, reptiles, terrain, and the environment. He also had a wonderful sense of humor and was a great cook! We will definitely recommend Wild Wings to our friends knowing they will thoroughly enjoy this Kruger Park safari.

As the South Africans would say, it was lovely and couldn't have asked for anything better.
Our guide Shaun became like part of our family and will remember him for life. The living quarters were great and couldn't have asked for better meals, the cook was fabulous. Shaun was a great tour guide telling us about the animals and vegetation of the area. Thank you for the greatest Safari ever.

Africa Adventure Safaris made my Africa safari dream turn into reality!
Our 9 days adventure in Uganda and Rwanda organized by Africa Adventure Safaris folks surpassed other trip experiences in the rest of Africa. As a team of 5 friends, we begun our trip from Serengeti national park. Amani Africa team managed the first portion of our holiday successfully.
We flew into Kigali airport and met Enos, a guide from Africa Adventure Safaris. Enos is a humorous and knowledgeable folk. He is a fabulous and likable guide.
In Rwanda we stayed an overnight at Mountain Gorilla View. In the morning we converged with other gorilla trackers at the park headquarters for briefing by the park ranger. Our group was allocated Umubano gorilla group. We hiked through thick thicket with stinging nettles for over 3 hours. Eventually we met a silverback before an encounter with the whole family estimated to be 10 individuals. Our encounter and interaction with this group excited us and some of our group members could not hold back tears of joy! This is indeed the most exciting wildlife experience.
We later crossed the border to Kisoro and arrived at another fabulous lodge - The chameleon Hill Lodge overlooking a scenic lake called Mutanda. We tracked the Nkuringo gorilla family. This one, too, was interesting. The gorilla babies' antics still linger on my memory. The rest of the trip is a big tale.
I am so grateful to the Africa Adventure folks for organizing this experience for us. We had value for money.

This was by far our best African safari experience!
Four of us booked a safari with Bush Travellers Safaris (BTS) in October 2013. We were a little hesitant because we could not pay by credit card but had to transfer the fee directly to the company. But the price was very reasonable, compared to other companies, so we took the chance. This was the right decision. From the first greeting to the last goodbye, our experience was far more than we could have hoped for. We did not sign up for a luxury safari, as we wanted to help with cooking and camping activities. Besides, our previous week in Kenya was on the more luxurious side. BTS answered all our questions, in advance of our departure as well as throughout the safari. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, and very skilled, with excellent English and a good sense of humor. Our cook was incredible, making everything from mac and cheese to pizza and a birthday cake over an open log fire. The assistant driver/guide did much of the hard work with good humor and no complaints. We felt our team enjoyed the trip as much as we did. We saw every kind of animal: lions, leopards, elephants, including those that walked through our campsite and ate our vegetables, hippos, birds of many kinds and colors. The tents were comfortable, bedding was supplied, and plenty of water was available for washing and drinking. The BTS team went out of their way to solve even the smallest problem. They quickly replenished the vegetables, for example, although we were far from any town. The landrover was comfortable and well equipped (unlike the one in Kenya). But above all, the BTS team became like family: we worked together, laughed together, and experienced together the wonderful country of Botswana. We felt perfectly safe at all times. We would recommend this company without a single reservation and would be willing to share more of our experiences and photos if BTS requests it.

Masihambe gave me the greatest adventure of my lifetime
We went on perhaps one of the most difficult of all African safaris - East Africa (it was Masihambe's first time there).
There were no issues with communications and the service was excellent. We tented most of the way so there was little time to get too comfortable. Never the less no one complained about the conditions we faced.
The whole tour was professionally run and it was a credit to the tour operator.

Wealth of experience and excellent service
We did a quicky with Ulinda and it was perfectly organized.
Moremi Game Reserve – in ONE day. Yes it can be done with Jane and Sarah and crew.
- “This is not a zoo” – Once in a lifetime experience to sleep within 30 meters to a herd of Hippo’s – they are quite communicative
- Sometimes the road is the goal – being in Moremi
- Thanks to the great service of Jane and her team this will be forever in our mind
- Gin and Tonic as sun-downer
- Many stories by the fire
- Excellent chicken with Mango sauce
Jane was the first female tour operator in Zimbabwe before moving to Botswana. Jane and her daughter Sarah plus crew make a clockwork organized safari with attention to detail.
I would go again with Ulinda - next a bit longer.

Unique blend of different parks and animals with excellent food, support, fantastic guide knowledge
Background information prior booking and support during booking and while travelling in Africa. The safari (s) were fabulously close to the animals and the choice of different parks was interesting. The other places visited were really lovely and very interesting. Transport was clean and comfortable (as could be). We'd go again if there weren't so many other places to see! Perhaps a different trip with Masihambe Afrika another time. Very good value for price!!

Attention to detail, great itinerary, local experiences, excellent accomodation and group size
I think that everyone should experience Africa at least once in their life and Masihambe Afrika makes the experience truly once in a lifetime. Lots of thought and planning goes into the itinerary to ensure that you are maximizing your time and seeing as much as possible. The accomodation is local but very comfortable, there is free time to do your own thing and the activities planned give you a good feel for Africa and what it has to offer. The mobile camping is a wonderful experience giving lots of time for game life viewing and the food is always tasty and plentiful. The communication is always prompt and lots of details are given about expectations and preparing you for your trip. The personalization makes it extra special, the guides have excellent knowledge and are there to make sure you enjoy your time and get the most out of it. Masihambe should definately be a tour operator of your choice!
