It was amazing!
Everything worked like clockwork with drivers/transfers! The lodging & food were very good and amazing wildlife viewings/spottings (even an elusive leopard) and gorgeous Kruger Pk vistas.

Wow! Better than I could ever have imagined. Saw the Big 5 by our second ride out! AMAZING!!!
Dave took care of us from the minute we arrived. He is the host with the MOST! He made sure we knew where to eat and arranged a cab to get us there before our Safari even began. Marc was our guide:I never met anyone so passionate about his job! He kept in contact with the other drivers to update animal sightings. He taught us so much about all the animals and answered all our questions. What an adventure! Eating a delicious meal, prepared by Dave and Marc, beneath the African stars, like a dream!
If you want the best choose Flexi Tours!
Thanks again Dave and Marc!!

Magical
The physical beauty of South Africa is simply amazing. The food was wonderful and the value of the US dollar against the Rand was incredible. We went on Safari in Botswana on the Chobe River, again simply amazing.

4-day Gorillas and Wildlife Tour
Everything about this trip was first class. We booked through Nelson who was extremely professional and timely in his communication. Our host for the trip was Bernard, and I don't have enough good things to say about him. The van was extremely comfortable and the budget accommodations they chose were surprisingly great. Bernard was extremely knowledgeable about the landscape, economics and politics of the country, as well as the wildlife we encountered. He made every effort to ensure we had a great trip, including several sudden stop requests for photos or chances to buy a cold pop. The actual safaris they planned were incredible. We were extremely pleased with our gorilla trekking, boat excursion and game drives. We saw schools of animals from lions to hippos to elephants to buffalos. I couldn't provide a higher recommendation for this tour group.

Outstanding experience1
We were in Kenya from Jan. 24 through Feb. 3 this year. I fell in love with everything about Kenya. The beauty, the people, the perfect weather (especially since we were missing the vortex in Chicago) and especially our fantastic safari trip through Savannah Sound Safaris. Our guide Sammy picked us up at the airport in Nairobi Thursday night and was our driver, taking us to a few fun places, on Friday. We left for a 6 day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli on Saturday morning. Except for the fact that Kenya's roads are the WORST (mostly unpaved), it was an experience of a lifetime. Sammy was the best guide. I felt like we were in the middle of our own National Geo documentary he was so knowledgeable of not only the wildlife, but the people, the weather, the politics, everything Kenya and Africa imaginable. We saw all Big 5 within our first day of the safari. All of the lodges we stayed at were gorgeous, the food was great. After our return from the safari we spent another 3 days in Kenya. We booked two tours through One Horizon Outreach program and had the most wonderful time. The first day we visited a couple of Masai, spending the day with the women, making bracelets, sharing tea and donuts and hearing their life stories. The next day we spent the day with some grandmothers and the pigs they are raising for sale(their "bank"). We got to hold baby piglets, feed the bigger pigs and then made their special chipati bread which we shared while drinking tea and talking to the wonderful, brave grandmothers. The whole trip to Kenya was magical and I would highly recommend it. Also, I would highly recommend Savannah Sound Safaris, not only for safari, but just to have as a driver/guide while visiting Kenya itself. I felt very safe, both with Sammy and with Steve who was our driver the last night there and again to go to the airport for a very early flight to South Africa. I would go back to Kenya in a heartbeat if I could.

Top choice safari for your first visit to Kenya
My friends and I (total of 3 persons) have traveled to Kenya in late February 2019 for a 4-day trip, including Masai Mara park and Maji Moto Eco Camp nightstand, which was absolutely terrific. Nadzua was so smooth and helpful in solving any of the questions that I had, hence without any hesitation, I am happy to recommend BuyMore Adventure as your safari operator.

Excellent adventure in the Northern Circuit of Tanzania
For months, the two of us had been planning our journey through Tanzania, and of course a safari was something we were keen to include in our itinerary. After some exploration and requesting quotes from different companies, Northern Circuit Adventure's Mike Ndallo positively stood out for his swift replies and well-priced itinerary. When asked, he presented us with the necessary official documents, which confirmed to us that we were dealing with a legitimate company.
When we finally set out on our three-day trip through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara and met Mike in person, he struck us as very friendly. He informed us that on the first two days, we would be joined by two Canadian women, who turned out to be great fun to spend time with. Our driver - Godson - was also great fun to be around, because he possessed a very good sense of humor and more knowledge of local wildlife than an encyclopedia. In the evenings, we ate beautiful two-course dinners followed by fresh fruits, all beautifully prepared by our cook. Expecting to sleep in a wafer-thin tent - we were very pleasantly surprised to find that our tent was sturdy canvas with an en-suite bathroom and (cold) shower!
Our third day in Lake Manyara was a bit more quiet, also because of a change of drivers. Godson had a doctor's appointment, and our new driver - still a young student of wildlife management - was rather quiet. As a result, we did not get to learn as much about our surroundings as on the first two days.
But what the new driver lacked in communication he made up for in helpfulness. At the end of our safari he and the cook gladly drove us to the next destination that we had planned ourselves - which was a one-hour drive from Arusha.
So all in all - a very pleasant experience with only one slight hiccup!

Stunning!
We booked a 10-day safari in Uganda with Crystal Safari - and were not disappointed: Joseph, our daily guide, guide & driver was nice, funny, knew a lot to talk about & was always punctual (even too early in part).
He also responded to spontaneous special requests, which was great to see more of the local life.
The car and accommodations were great - especially the accommodations were excellent, from free laundry service, to food, hand massage etc.

It managed a great tour in Limpopo and Western Cape ( flights, car rentals, stays in those regions)
High professionality, availability 24 hours/day for problem solving and any kind of information ( even in sunday and overnight).
Perfect choices of game lodge and resort for our Kruger safari, even over our expectations. I will sure recommend South African DreamTours to our friends for great Holidays !!!!!

The safari was a dream come true!! We had a fantastic time on our 4 day safari.
We had an amazing time on a 4 day safari with Tanke Travel. Caroline was very helpful, answered all our questions before hand and arranged us Beautiful resorts to stay in. She was helpful from the very start to the end of safari, she took care of everything. We hired the more expensive private 4x4 jeep but it was well worth it. Our driver Kevin was fabtastic, he was punctual, friendly, patient, took us to all the great spaces to see the animals and had great music. We saw lionesses, elephant, zebra, giraffe, hippo, wilderbeast, jackels, wild dogs, hyenas, different birds and caught a glimps of a rhino. The resorts were also beautiful. We highly recommend Tanke travel! Thank you
