Amazing!
My expectations were definitely topped! Not only did we have great accomodations and the best service with everything (despite our quite spontaneous booking of the tour), but also did we have a perfect tour with the nicest tour guide! We got to see all big five which was so overwhelming and the beautiful nature of the parks was another highlight! I am happy to have booked the tour with Get together Adventures and can definitely recommend it to everybody!

Amazing Tour with Soul of Tanzania
Our customized 8-days safari trip was well organized and perfectly accomplished by our guide and driver Pius.
The itinerary was well-balanced so that we encountered a great number of wildlife. We had to face adverse weather conditions with flooding but Pius managed us through any difficulties with great skills and coolness. He never lost his patience and was very firm on matters when the situation required it. His knowledge about flora and fauna is impressive, and he proved to be an excellent lion, leopard and cheetah whisperer. We were very happy with Pius and can unconditionally recommend him and Soul of Tanzania to any interested party.
There were so many highlights that it is difficult to list them. The whole package was inherently consistent with every day providing some new experiences. One of the big highlights was definitely our balloon ride over the Serengeti. This is a unique experience.
Over all it was definitely a memorable journey in Africa’s Nature and our experience with the very friendly people we met all over the country. Good hotels and good food, sometimes great food (Ndutu Lodge) completed our adventure.

Gifts of the Kalahari has excellent bush-knowledge
coming from Switzerland and having lived for many years in southern Africa we know about tourist traps, cheap Safaris (15 people to one game viewing truck...) and rip-offs, experienced in the past.
with Gifts of the Kalahari Safaris we experienced a private Safari with a most knowledgeable guide, excellent service and the most enjoyable day trip we ever had. Its their personal know-how and willingness to show and teach you something about Africa and the way of animals that makes a huge difference.
We can recommend this Company to anybody looking for something authentic.

Where do I start!!Hekima Safaris team was extremely patient and resourceful in helpinge during my stay in Tanzania! The only thing i had to do was book my international flight from Turkey that was it! Once i stepped foot in Tanzania everything was handled and i never had to worry about a thing. Every staff member had the some experienced the same high standard of customer service across the board.

We had a wonderful safari, better than we expected!
We first saw this company as a sponsor of "Nature" on PBS. The owner was available by phone in the U.S. which made communication very easy. Jessica was very caring and made sure all our questions were answered as needed. Together we designed our custom tour so that we could travel a little slower, allowing us to relax as well as time to do some bird watching. A nice mix of accommodations; surprisingly luxurious resorts, a tented cabin, and a mobile camp in Serengeti. We were offered cultural experiences, and we chose the walk through a village near Karatu and a couple of walks by different guides local to each area. Our driver and guide, Yunus, was very knowledgeable about animals and birds, and loved nature. He went the extra mile to make sure we saw all the critters we had mentioned and many more. As a driver he was always very safe. The owner, kept in touch with our guide throughout the safari, checking to make sure all was well. Finally our scenic flight from Serengeti to Arusha topped off our stay. In summary, we will always have very fond memories of our wonderful safari with Dancing Zebra.

Winner comes home! and what a win!
Yes I won the seven night, eight day Ultimate African Safari with Churchill Safaris - offered in International Traveller Magazine. My daughter & I flew into Entebbe, had a great night at Papyrus Lodge then set out with our wonderful driver Ivan & another traveller Brett. The four of us off to Kibale - with lunch stop at Fort Portal & spend our 2nd night at Chimpanzee Forest Guest House. Early start to track the chimps - bit of a climb but so much fun. So many photos. Off to Queen Elizabeth National Park for a game drive & stay at the fabulous Kasenyi Lodge. The tents were amazing & so was the food! Next day a cruise on the Kazinga Channel - elephants, hippos, crocodiles, baboons water buffalo & birds galore. Another 5 course dinner & some sleep & off to new Lake Mulehe Lodge on the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - oh what a view. Next morning the time had finally arrived - gorilla trekking. Impossible to convey this once in a life time experience. Yes we had to walk where trackers cut a path at our feet using machetes. Yes there were lots of vines - but few bugs. Yes it was so worth every step. What a memory.
The next day off to Lake Mburo National Park to stay at the Lodge & welcome rest with a game drive & another opportunity to see zebra, warthogs & so many other park dwellers.
In summary, this was a wonderful adventure, an excellent itinerary, well organised, excellent lodges, great food, water freely available at all times & friendly people all the way. I am a grandmother & nearly a septuagenarian - I have heaps of photos & so many happy memories.
I did it - why don't you?
Thank you very much Churchill Safaris
Best African Honeymoon Organiser Ever (if Carlsberg made safari tour operators...)
Timbuktu excelled at everything. We spent a year planning our honeymoon in South Africa with Johnny from Timbuktu, who went out of his way to make sure the trip was prefect for us, within budget, with lots of variety at a relaxed pace. He even managed to organise a bespoke 'off menu' three day private horse riding trek into Lesotho which absolutely blew us away.
While in South Africa, Johnny and his team made sure to phone ahead to ensure everything was sorted and was ready to help us with any issue we might have, like where do we have dinner with our friends on New Years Eve? Not strictly part of our trip with Timbuktu, but Johnny did an excellent job anyway - and the restaurant was top class.
Our Safari was amazing, and Johnny made sure that we (who knew nothing about Safari) had enough time and budget to stay at Phinda, one of the top game reserves in the country. It did not fail to disappoint. We were so lucky to have Timbuktu over any other tour operator, and would recommend Johnny and his team to anyone wanting to organise a hassle free African adventure. Five stars.

Owner Paul Mwangi did everything possible to make our stay in Nairobi pre and post Safari enjoyable
We used Simba Paka to drive us in and around Nairobi, to and from airports, to dinner in Karen, to elephant and giraffe sanctiaries and to markets for shopping. Communication was rapid and reliable, and and pick-up times were respected.

Beyond our Expectations!
Zicasso found the perfect travel specialist for our Tanzanian safari. We were introduced to our safari travel designer. She planned a custom trip for my daughter and I, and every detail was thoughtful and flawless! She was very communicative and easy to talk to, returned calls and emails quickly. It was the most relaxing trip I have ever experienced since our travel designer planned every detail based on extensive conversations of our hopes and wishes of what we hoped to see and experience. It was a truly magical vacation! Our 8 day trip to Tanzania was well beyond our expectations!! We stayed in amazing, elegant lodges and spent 3 nights in a Serengeti tented camp. We had a private guide for the entire trip who took us on daily game drives based on what we wanted to see. We experienced the Tanzanian culture and the Massai, and saw and studied oh-so many animals in their natural habitats onlya few feet away from our Land Cruiser. We soaked in the beauty and natural wonders of the Seregenti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. Everything about this trip was relaxed, well organized, and stress-free. It truly was a trip of a lifetime that we will treasure forever!
