Brilliant experience
Loved every minute of our trip, the food cooked for us was so tasty and different every day. The day drives were my favourite part and then lounging by the pool. We saw plenty of wildlife and learned a lot about life in the bush. It was a truly unique and educational experience

No specific safari tour booked, but very happy with the tours experienced with Matoke !
Although we didn't book an specific safari, but a round trip in Uganda, Matoke took us through several National Parks where we tracked gorillas and chimps, took part in an evening game safari, experienced safaris during the day with our small busses and also made some boot safaris on the Nile and several lakes! Well organized and wide enough to experience most wildlife in Uganda.

A wonderful destination and an exceptional safari. Many thanks for our guide Toyawho e
Many thanks for our guide Toyawho enabled us to realize our dream of seeing the big five.
The lodges were great and well located. The tour program was perfect and we were able to observe the animals at different times of the day.
We are a family with three children, one of whom is 5 years old and the pace was very good. In addition, the vehicle allowed us to see the animals. A big thank-you

A good budget safari
I was glad to get hooked up with World Tours and Safaris since I was a single woman traveling alone. Richard was helpful in getting ancillary services arranged, and putting me with a nice group of fellow travelers. We had a wonderful driver and cook, both Aron and Musa did a great job of taking care of us. The safari portion of the trip was so much more than I had expected, I would have to give that section of the trip 5 stars. The physical accoutrements were rudimentary, but that was expected since this was a budget safari. Our only questionable experience was with figuring the tips. All of us wanted to tip our driver and cook well, but felt their expectations were much more than what we were was told was customary. That is not to say they didn't deserve a good, even, generous tip, but most of us had not budgeted an extra $100 for each person in our group, for each of them. Personally, I would rather pay more upfront, and not have the uncomfortable situation arise at the end of the trip, though I realize this is not the typical method of operation in Africa. All in all it was a great trip; we saw lots of animals, had a good time, and didn't get eaten by lions. LOL. Many thanks to Richard, Aron and Musa for making it happen. P.s. Tell Musa carrot sandwiches are not a favorite. HA.

Trip of a life time
Have wanted to go on a safari since a child, now in fifties. So with Bluerange Safaris went for 8 days and 7 nights which did not disappoint. Managed to see much wildlife, including big five, also great landscape for photos. Kenya is amazing, had a great time.
Thanks to all, especially the drivers.

Sun Safaris (especially Natasha Allan, Cape Town) are friendly and professional.
I have recently returned from paradise (Okavango Delta, Botswana) and my thanks to Sun Safaris for their excellent service in providing the booking and all the information that made my trip so easy. I stayed in three different Ker & Downey camps, Okuti, Kanana and Shinde, flying by light aircraft between each camp. All perfectly arranged by my travel consultant, Natasha Allan, Sun Safaris, Cape Town. The camps are wonderful, the staff are so happy and the game drives so rewarding. I will have to go again and I will certainly be more than happy to book once again with Sun Safaris.

Emotions for life!
A terrific experience that you will never forget! We visited the 3 most famous parks in Tanzania: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti. They are different and very interesting. We were provided with everything necessary: good transport, professional guide, water, food, tents and sleeping bags. Good route for a great price.

A very professional and experienced travel agent with good individual suggestions
After our very good experience with Sun Safari in 2007 and 2009 we came back again in 2014 for our trip to Namibia and South Africa. Brett Thomson and his Team listend to our basic ideas and came up with professional suggestions, e.g. substitution of long driving distances with light aircraft transfer. To follow this was the best decision - a great experience to see Namibia from the air. Also all recommended lodges were outstanding and fits perfectly to our needs. The communication via email was very pleasant and with short response times. We really can recommend this agency to all travellers with individual wishes. You can be sure that your vacation is in best hands.

Amazing!
Let me start by saying that the Kruger 4-day safari with Wild Wings Safaris (WWS) was the BEST EXPERIENCE of my life!!
Before booking with WWS, we reached out to 6 other tour operators for similar safari options. Most of them were more expensive than what WWS was asking for pretty much the same thing (transport from/to Johannesburg, accommodation in the park, food, and guide for 4 days). We decided to book with WWS due to our limited budget. I didn’t know what to really expect to be honest. Here's what we got:
1- Our guide Sam was simply the best (24 years of experience)!! By day 2, we had already seen 4 of the Big 5. We saw animals up close which was UNREAL! Sam knew Kruger by heart! If you ever get Sam as a guide, consider yourself the luckiest person ever!
2- Jacques (our private cook) was wonderful! He cooked us homemade traditional South African meals every day for breakfast and dinner! I totally did not expect that! I knew that breakfasts and dinners were included, but I though it was going to be something really basic like sandwiches (which I would’ve been fine with). However, what we got was FAR from what we expected!
3- Transport from/to Johannesburg was great! Drivers showed up on time and the cars were comfortable and modern!
This safari was worth every penny spent. Please save your money and avoid overpaying by booking with different tour operators. In terms of cost/value, you can't go wrong with WWS!
Highly recommended!

An excellent experience!
We had three days safari in Amboseli and Tsavo Vest. Our excellent tourguide and schaffeur Sam was so nice, kind and caring. He told us all about the area and the animals. We didn't see all the 5 big, but we saw the leopard and then we were happy.
