Mount Kilimanjaro - Awesome Experience made possible by a great group
This July I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, something I had never thought I would do. Thank you E-Trip Africa for making this possible and for my success in achieving the summit. Our lead guide, August, I cannot praise enough, he is the embodiment of a great leader; someone you trust with your safety and can motivate a person to reach their full capabilities and personal goals. On the mountain, he seemed to be the most respected individual for his leadership and judgement by all the other Trek groups. The Assistant Guides Ignas and Francis were outstanding. The Cook and Porters and everyone else assisting us were outstanding, you could not ask for a better team.
Prior to the trip, working with the Trip Coordinator, Ben, he gave an excellent summary of expectations and preparation work for making the hike and improving our success odds. Once in Tanzania, we met at the Hotel Stella Maris, for a briefing with our lead guide August and assistant guide Ignas, this included a review of what to expect, an equipment check and final preparations for the hike. We woke up the next day and drove to the starting point and began our Trek. Throughout the trek the Guides, cooks and porters were always in a great mood and ready to help, summit night and day, every one of them was ready to make sure we were safe and prepared to make a successful summit and return.
I will look back on this achievement fondly and knowing that E-Trip Africa and Kilimanjaro Guides, cooks and porters we went with made it possible and achievable. Thank you.

Safari camps in South Africa and Botswana and explored the Cape Town region.
Travel with comfort, great food, safety and wonderful game viewing experiences. First time trip to Africa for my wife and I. All the guides and boat and safari camp staff were proessional and fun. The transfers and connections were seamless. The home hosted dinner near Cape Town gave fascinating perspectives on life in South Africa.

5 days of awesome South Africa with Derek
We are so pleased with our time on tour on the Garden Route in S. Africa with Derek. My adult daughter and I had so much fun; but the highlight was our whale tour because we had 2 whales who treated us to many sightings... enough to even get a selfie with a whale! Loved the ostrich farm, the caves, the penguins, the Garden Route Game Lodge, Rt 62 but most of all getting to know Derek who is a knowledgable and compassionate man. He gently guided us through the complexities of S. African society and gave us real insight into this beautiful land.

It was a woderful experience of the Life Time with APS
It was a wonder experience to get tour arranged for group of 55 guests by African Paradise Safaris from 11Jul till 15 Jul 2016. It was a large group which required best team co-odtination to accomplish the task to manage the group. The group was so professionally handled during the 3 days Safari and stay in the Lodges arranged by APS was the experience of the life time, the whole group had enjoyed every moment in the APS Safari Tour. We were in 9 vans in safari, it was so wonderfully co-ordinated to make the most of the Safari and manage it, to view the most of animal.
I turely appreciate APS Team and their profesdional approch and team work and extremely nice people, I thank APS team to make our trip worth. We left Nairobi with Sweet and Lovely Memories. Thanks

Favorite safari company
My husband and I have been on 3 safaris with Sunny and each has been fantastic! We always recommend them to our friends, who also love them. We have had different guides each time and they have all been absolutely wonderful - very knowledgeable and friendly and have gone above and beyond to make sure we are happy. The cooks are also fabulous - it's amazing what delicious meals they prepare on the road with such limited resources. Their prices are great considering what you get - driver/guide, cook who prepares all your meals, water, tents, gas, park fees, camping fees... We have been to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara and each time have seen tons of animals and had so much fun with Sunny. There are always delays at the park gates as the guides try to pay park fees, get permits, etc, but keep in mind that that's true for all companies as things run on "Africa time" and the park entry system isn't super organized. Sunny takes care of everything for you, so you just get to sit back and enjoy a truly memorable experience. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Educational, passionate, fun and eye-opening.
Derrick was an amazing tour guide. His passion and love for what he does came through every single day. He provided us with educational experiences and went above and beyond day after day. He responded to whatever we felt worked and didn't as we went throughout our trips. He was ready and waiting for us at every turn. From the Penguins @ Betty's Bay (in a down pour with Derrick by our side!), to the additional whale watch we could fit in, he was enthusiastic and positive. I have learned more in 5 days than i EVER would have independently. Worth every single penny.

Five aardvarks on a trip is not a bad number
In a fantastic trip around Namibia (and a bit of Botswana), Nick was able to show us the best of the nature of that part of the world. Despite our many requests (animals of all kinds, plants, rocks) he organized the trip so that we could see almost everything. Indefatigable and attentive at all times to our needs. A pleasure to travel with him. Hopefully we can repeat many times.
By the way, we saw five aardvarks and six aardwolves along our night drives...
