Perfect African Adventure
Our overall experience with East African Wild Adventures and Alym was fantastic. When we first contacted Alym, we had a rough idea of what type of trip we wanted. Alym provided a fully customized itinerary based on exactly what we were looking for. We were able to make changes right through the process and he was always very accomodating. The other companies that we contacted seemed far more rigid in the schedule and itinerary.
We arranged to climb kilimanjaro, followed by a safari and trip to Zanzibar. Every detail of the trip was perfectly coordinated. We had several calls with Alym leading up to the trip and he provided all of the information and details on packing and what to expect when we arrived. Despite this we still had a few concerns before we arrived because my wife and I had never been to Africa. However, once we did arrive, we were very impressed with how seemless and easy everything was for us. All of our guides and drivers were friendly and extremely helpful. The accomodations throughout the trip were luxurious and the staff were great.
We had been looking forward to this trip for a long time and we couldn't have chosen a better tour company. The cost was much more competitive than the other companies we contacted. I would highly recommend East Africa Wild Adventures to anyone looking o plan a holiday in East Africa. Alym was a pleasure to deal with and we had the trip of a lifetime.

What a wonderful 12 days
We just got back from our safari which has been an unforgettable experience. Both Alejandra and I believe it has been one of our best trips ever. All the places we stayed in were very pleasant and in line with what we were expecting/hoping for and I can only encourage you to select the cooperation partners from this aspect in the future. Fantastic work Steady Safaris we are definitely coming back in one year.
Regarding our driver/guide George we were also very pleased as he showed concern and was very attentive towards us.

Getaway made it easy.
My husband and I planned a second honeymoon. We bought a getaway magazine and saw the most beautiful pictures of Mauritius. We contacted getaway on numbers given. Gert Vermeulen was our travel agent through out the whole prosess.
Gert was quick to answer all questions and emails. Before we knew it our dream honeymoon to Mauritius was booked.
We left for Mauritius on the 17th of October. Everything went so smoothly. At arrival at Mauritius airport we were greeted with friendly smiles and taken straight to Tamassa Resort in Mauritius. It was breaht takingly beautiful and we enyoyd our stay completely. Gert worked out a great deal for us were everything was included...and I mean everything.
On our way back to the airport I was afraid that we would strugle in a unfamiliar airport, but I should have known that Gert thout about that as well. We were greeted by a representative and he helped us
with the check in an waited untill we went through passport control before he left with a friendly wave and a "hope to see you soon".
We cannot thank Gert and the Getaway team enough for making our second honeymoon worry free and unforgetable.

This company ruined my vacation!
After my fully-paid safari to Maasai Mara with Africa Flash MC Tours did not go through, I was eventually fully refunded by the company four months later. This, however, was a highly nerve-wracking process which included many meetings with the local police. Furthermore, the fact that the safari was not organized as promised seriously ruined my vacation, as I had visitors coming from Europe. There are a number of tour operators who offer safaris in the same price range and who actually deliver and do not ask advance payments. For anybody looking to go on a low-budget safari in Kenya, these might be safer options than Africa Flash MC Tours.

Absolutely awesome
We spend three days in Selous Game Reserve. We had such a brilliant time. The Hippo Camp was so nice- I did not expect that. The ara is beautiful, very close to the river where you can hang out a lot. The staff is super friendly and we felt home from the beginning. Our guide and cook were also super cool. The food was so so so good, we had the best lunch package ever!!!! We also enjoyed having a bottle of wine at dinners time. Our guide knew everything, he gave us such a huge inside of all these beautiful landscape and animals. We had a great chat with him during the trip. The car was very clean and comfy.
If you want to join a perfect organised tour with perfect staff for a small price (compared to others)- just go to Kanuth. It definitely was not our last time in Tanzania and when we come back, we will definitely go back to Kanuth as well for another tour.
Thank you for making our Safari so special.

Personal, professional, amazing knowledge – simply an excellent service and a wonderful safari!
I want to thank Steffi and Mark of Gondwana Tours & Safaris for their excellent service from the very first email to my final departure. My wife and I had a breathtaking trip to the Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta and thanks to Gondwana everything went perfectly well. The recommended camps and lodges were all superb, with very friendly service and stunning game drives (we saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, wilddogs, buffalos, lots of elephants, hippos, crocs and much more!). The itinerary that Steffi had compiled was totally tailor-made according to our wishes and expectations (walk with Sylvester the cheetah at Elephant Camp in Vic Falls and the Khwai River Lodge as the highlights!). She gave prompt answers to every single question we had previously and she and Mark were available during the trip for 24h. Mark met us at the airport in Maun to welcome us and make sure that everything went alright. He double-checked all the flights and even helped us with the check-in. After all we can highly recommend Gondwana Tours and Safaris as it might be hard to find another tour-operator with such a personal and professional service. First class!

Amazing encounter with Africa
Thanks to Andrew, we have had an amazing encounter with Africa in its full glory. Fantastic beasts, enormous surroundings, great skies and fantastic stories by Andrew. Together with my wife and daughter, we were personally guided around the vast Pilanesberg reserve. We have learnt so much about the amazing animals, watched lions preparing their stalking of zebras and wildebeests. So much to talk about. We are grateful for the braais that Andrew cooked for us, such a privilege. Of course the great temperature during this period of the year makes everything double so enjoyable, knowing that in Europe rains and snow are pestering our friends and colleagues. But most of all, we were so pleasantly surprised by so much South African hospitality. We have learnt so much about to address everyone with questions about the day, about feelings etc. Africa is such a great continent, we want to learn much more. Now we only have to catalogue our 2000+ photos. Andrew, thanks for the lesson how to make the best photos. Your photos are by far the best on our computer!

Good Value, Amazing Sights, Great Experience
It was easy to set up a tour via email, and we were able to pay on arrival, which was also convenient. My friend and I booked a group package but essentially had a private tour. There were several other companies on the same route, and I was pleased that we chose a more affordable company, as we received essentially the same services at a lower cost.
We were a little frustrated about having to pay extra for the giraffe center (we paid almost $100 each for admission, lunch, and a driver), but the experience was incredible, despite us being substantially over-charged.
The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and if you have the opportunity to ask for John for the walking-tour, I'd highly recommend it.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience that I would repeat in a heartbeat.
