Excellent safari at a reasonable price.
I recently returned from an excellent 8 day safari to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park with Safari Makers Ltd. From the start, Jane in the office was most helpful and quickly responsive organizing a tenting/lodging experience that fit our schedule and needs, all at a reasonable price. This included all arrangements following arrival at Kilimanjaro airport through return to the airport. It more than met my expectations.
Our driver/guide, Ayubu, was also excellent; informative, a friendly traveling companion, safe driver, and eagle-eyed spotting game. I suggest requesting him for your adventure.
I would recommend Safari Makers Ltd if you are looking for a personalized trip of a lifetime.

Fabulous from start to finish.
Zambezi Safari & Travel Co was recommended to me by a dear friend who had experienced an amazing holiday herself in Zambia. She is deaf and has a severe visual impairment but Zambezi organised such a wonderful holiday for her with some very special memories. We are a family of 4 with two teenage girls and safari first-timers. As soon as I spoke to Fi Thompson, the Kenya specialist, I knew that she would find us the perfect safari experience. We talked at length about what we wanted from the holiday and she recommended 3 different locations each offering totally different experiences. Having grown up in Kenya, Fi knew so much about the different areas and camps available and when we had finally made our decision to go ahead she even called one of the camp owners at his home to secure the booking. She always responded promptly to all my queries, any time of the day and I really felt in safe hands. When the troubles in Kenya started to affect some holiday areas, Fi was so reassuring but suggested changing our route home slightly so that we didn't go via Mombassa. During the holiday, every pick-up, flight and transfer went so smoothly and we really felt valued by the wonderful people in Kenya for realising that the majority of Kenya is no-where near any problems or incidents and that it really is safe to travel there. We have some amazing photos and stories to share and I really can't thank Fi and Zambezi enough for making it all happen.

It was amazing- we saw lion cubs, giraffes, zebras, baboons & leopards, in a short amount of time.
The communication and service was wonderful. We were able to get in contact easily and received replies quickly about any questions we had. Everyone at Big Time Holidays Ltd was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our guide was also very knowledgeable about all of the wild life we saw which made the experience even better. I definitely recommend going to Samburu with Big Time Holidays Ltd!

Trip of a lifetime
We did our first safari trip with CrissCross Safari for 21 day, we were very lucky to have Thinus as our guide.
We selected CrissCross based on the reviews on safaribookings.com. Thinus and his team was very responsive from beginning of inquire, all the way to end. They developed the detailed itinerary, to which were incorporated some specifics we had identified. We trusted CrissCross and were well rewarded.
During the trip, every day was an adventure. We don’t know what’s going to happen, but we knew there will be something exciting awaiting for us, all thanks to Thinus excellent planning and vast knowledge of the area, culture, animal…!
A great guide will make a huge difference to your safari trip! That became obvious when we started sharing photos with other guests in various lodges we visited, and all were jealous of all we had seen.
The dedication of the guide, his intimate knowledge of all areas visited, the choice of hotels, the right balance of activity and rest periods, made this trip a true trip of a lifetime
If there is way to give 6 stars, I would!

Excellent Customer Service!
I just completed a Safari booked for 10 people (multiple family members from different parts of the world) at Kambaku Lodge in South Africa. Madi was amazing. She responded to emails very quickly, answered all questions (from all of us!) and guided us to a booking that matched our families needs and budget. Her knowledge of the lodges and camps was invaluable! You can't get all the information you need just from the lodges websites, so her service was most appreciated. She followed up on everything. Customer service was the best I've ever received! Thanks Madi!!!

The difference between just going on safari and enjoying a safari.
Tropical Cats Tours doesn't only realizes your dreams ... Tropical Cats Tours enriches them. With there excellent communication service they arrange everything you can wish for.
After 4 years going on safari with them throughout Kenia we experienced the difference between just going on a holiday and enjoying our holiday. Just contact Mr. Samuel Musyoki. Tropical Cats Tours will bring you in a different world... where there is more to see then can ever be seen... where there is more to do than can ever be done... where there is more to find than can ever be found (Lion King). Thank you Samuel... for giving us the time of our life!

It started in Africa took us from the summit of Kilimanjaro to the crater of ngorongoro
we reached the summit of Africa's tallest mountain and visit the gorgeous crater of ngorongoro. Organization and comradeship was brilliant, no complains at all and in ngorongoro we saw the big5 except for the leopard which I think is not to be found there. Guides were funny, talkative and must had superman vision :)

Great service and itinerary.
Right from my first email with Liz, I knew we were in good hands. This was our first visit to Africa and we didn't really know where to go or how things worked. Liz walked us through the many questions and concerns we had. She took care of everything. We spent 4 nights at The Hide in Hwange. Can't wait to get back to this 5 star camp! In addition we stayed at the Vic Falls Hotel which was also lovely.
zambezi Safaria And Travel is a most professional company and if we are lucky enough to return to Zimbabwe we will Definetely use them again.

I advise you not to use this company
Booked with Image Travel in March 2014 for a 10 day Masai/Serengeti Safari commencing Sep 2014. Paid for the tour in full prior to arriving. Mwanje, the owner, was great to deal with when booking but it all went horribly wrong on arrival. Our driver wasn't paid and we were stranded on the side of the road for 3 hours on the first day. We missed our afternoon game drive and lunch. We went for the 5 star option so for our group we paid over $30k USD for the whole trip. Our first night of accommodation was paid for but after that the next 9 nights had not been paid. The deposit was paid but the remaining amounts were all outstanding. We ended up having to report the matter to police and found that over $20k of the trip had to be paid for again. Our once in a lifetime trip was turned into an absolute nightmare by Mwanje and Image Travel. Mwanje would not respond to our calls or emails. Take my advice and go with another company.
