great experience with a great and knowledgeable guide as well as a superb cook
The service was great. Both the cook and the guide were extremely helpful and eager to show us more of their country. It was a great experience that exceeded my expectations.

Amazing, fantastic, reliable, informative so that you are superbly looked after.
Afriroots are amazing: They seem to do the impossible. All the staff are great, friendly, can't do enough for you. The team are so dedicated to ensuring that all customers are happy and well treated and they go 1000% of the way to doing just that.
All staff are very informed about the history, culture, and facts about their country.
Their food is excellent: Hot lunches in the middle of fields were so welcome.
Nothing is too much for these guys and I can't recommend them highly enough!

Outstanding Safari Tour Operator
Brett and the team at Sun Safaris have organized two amazing trips for us. The first was to Botswana and Zambia, the second more recent trip to Congo and Zambia. They listened to our interests and requirements and we have had two truly amazing experiences. For the first trip I asked if we could visit camps where we had a good chance of seeing leopard and we did indeed see numerous leopards at 3 of the 4 camps we visited. Brett also made sure we had good birding opportunities at all the camps. Our recent trip to Congo to see Lowland gorillas was remarkable. This is the first year that Wilderness Safari's is fully operational in Congo so we had lots of questions. Brett worked with us and the camp management to make sure all of our questions were answered and we had a good understanding of what to expect. Our second Zambia trip was fantastic with excellent game and birds and the camps were above our expectations. We are already planning our next Safari for 2015 with Brett and the team. I would recommend them highly.

Good time, good people, good price!
A friend and I did a 4-days safari (Lake Manyara, Serengueti and Ngorongoro) in september'14.
We had a great time! Our guide and driver was excellent and we spot the big five and much more! We appreciated his knowledge and his hability to spot animals in the far far distance! The cook was also very good, and he could adapted easily to the vegetarian menu (I forgot to tell them in advance).
The car was quite old but comfortable enough (except under the rain because the windows didn't close properly).

What a great experience - Tanzania 2014
After travelling to Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe in 2013 we loved Africa so much that we decided back home to visit another part of Africa. As our first tour was also organized by Gondwana Tours & Safaris, namely Steffi Presske, and it couldn’t be better at all, we also organized the next family trip to Tanzania with this excellent and very personal travel agency. Our trip was as follows:
- Tarangire
- Ngorogoro
- Serengeti
- Crater Highland Trek & climbing the Lengai
- Lake Natron
- Zanzibar
This tour was absolute superb, we enjoyed the wildlife, in particular in Tarangire and Serengeti, the beautiful landscape and the relaxing days on Zanzibar. It must be mentioned that the Crater Highland Trek was our highlight of the tour as you get very close to the Massai and its culture and you travel absolutely off the beaten track. The landscape was fantastic and can’t be described with words!
Gondwana Tours & Safaris is so excellent due to different reasons: they are very responsive and create tailor-made tours to your expectations and have no standard trip. We wanted to see lots of animals, do some (sport) activities and relax at the last part of our trip so that our journey was a perfect match to our hopes. All selected lodges were very nice.
We can absolutely recommend the travel agency and we would love to do our next trip organized by Gondwana Tours & Safaris!!! Thank you, Steffi!
Excellent Safari Operators for your Tanzania Experience
We had a trip of a lifetime in Tanzania thanks to World Tours & Safaris. With Richard's expertise and guidance, our custom itinerary was perfectly suited to our interests and we spotted our two black rhinos in the crater. World Tours made our life long dream to see the black rhino come true, and delivered all of the magnificent seven.
World Tours performed beyond our expectations. Frank was a friendly and patient guide. He was an excellent driver and we felt very safe with him. He made every effort to keep us away from the other tour vehicles, so that we could film the animals. Our chef Zahoro's meals were healthy and delicious.
Frank and Zahoro were very efficient with packing the car and setting up and packing away our tents. We did not feel rushed. Yet they managed time very well and we were able to make the most out of our game drives. We enjoyed their company very much.
World Tours' safaris are animal-orientated with maximum game drives and are great value for money.
Accommodations we stayed at were very good. Clean, quiet, safe and excellent customer service.
We highly recommend anyone interested in going on a safari in East Africa to book a trip with Richard, Frank and Zahoro from World Tours for a truly magical and wild experience.

Trip of a Lifetime across Tanzania!
Thanks to Sam and his team at Tanzania Travel Company we had a trek of a lifetime and an experience I will never forget. Challenging walking, matched with awesome experiences and wildlife - Sam and his team knew how to organise everything to ensure it was perfect. The little touches, the fun times we had in camp and the knowledge of his guides meant we had such a special experience. I am already planning with Sam a week in which I can return to this amazing and beautiful country with them.

Amazing! - Absolutely made our entire trip!
Matobo National Park was the absolute highlight of our trip to Zimbabwe! The scenery and natural history of the landscape is fascinating and utterly stunning to witness. We were blown away and our experience was made by the tour guide of African Wanderer Safaris, Ian Harmer, who has an incredible knowledge - and lifetime of experience - of the area and poaching culture in the National Park. We were in good company and were well educated by Ian who is wonderfully passionate about rhinos and the wildlife; we felt safe in his guidance as we tracked rhinos and climbed rock formations to view the scenery, seeing many other animals and weird and wonderful plants along the way! After initially booking just one morning out, we changed our plans that afternoon to spend the whole of the next day with Ian. If you go to Matobos Park, you must get at least an afternoon with this guy - he made our trip! Very reasonable prices for the high quality; and drinks, lunch and park fees included in the cost!

I found their services good and most important to me reliable.
They are good in communication and kept me updated. The safari met my expectation. Most outstanding was our tour driver, he was very friendly, dedicated and knows Masai Mara very well. We managed to see the big five courtesy o our tour guide.

Was wonderfull, a fantastique experience, I hope to go back.
Monique did help me a lot in planning our holidays in S.A early this year.
The hotel, lodges and Safaris that she had recommended where exactly in the range we where expecting.
The Sabi Sand in Kruger Park with the big 5 within 500m from our Lodge (the gourmet food in our lodge and the setting, the rooms and mostly the staff where Magnificent) , and the lodge at Victoria Falls in Livingstone (Zambia) was magic.
Giltedge Africa (formerly Southern Africa Travel) can only be recommended regarding their extensive knowledge of the region and their advice.
I can only recommend them.
