The best experience we had while traveling in Tanzania !!
We definitely wanted to go on safari in Tanzania, so we had a look in the internet and found tomodachi tours and safari, because they had a short Safari of three days for a great price we couldn’t find anywhere else, so we booked it on safari bookings.com.
Already a few minutes later Joseph texted us on what’s app (so don’t wonder about). He was really kind and sended a lot of photos.
In the beginning we were a bit scared to go alone, because it was just us the two girls of 23 years and the guide. But that was definitely not necessary!
At 4:30 in the morning Thomas arrived at our hotel to pick us up and we got on the road. Because it’s not possible to get dollar anywhere at the atm over here (you should take it with you from home), Thomas was so kindly to stop with us at an atm for getting cash.
The first day we saw the udzungwa mountains and the great waterfalls. It was just beautiful !!! You feel like the loan king at the top of the world when you’re standing on it. The second day we went on safari and we saw everything !!! So also Mikumi is perfect for safari. After not seeing a lion all day Thomas went with us outside the park and we find one. He called the other cars driving through the park for telling them, so everybody could see. He has such a big heart! He cared of us very well and we felt so safe with him. He was always on time and loving his job. So it was not just a touristic activity. Also the next day in the morning he was the first guide seeing the lion -> Thomas was definetely the best guide in the whole park and always funny.
Yesterday evening after going to bed we both were the opinion that it was the best we could do. There was nothing we would change and you can always tell him to stop or change the plan. It was just perfect!!!

Fun, informative, relaxing and adventurous
This was a really easy trip to set up, all of my emails were answered right away. They were flexible and worked around my flight times. The guides were all amazing and very informative. There was a nice mixture of long walks, rides on the water and relaxing in the tents. The food was amazing and the facilities were as comfortable as camping can ever be. I loved my time, and Xaa Safaris made everything easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Unforgetable experience, wonderful
A friend of mine and me booked a tour for 3 day to Udzwunga and Mikumi. The owner Joseph texted us directly after booking and was very kind and told us everything we had to know. Thomas was our guide during the tour. He is a wonderful person and did his job so, so well. We could do everything we'd like to and he always did his best. He explained us the natur, how the animals are living ans the people in Tanzania. He drives very safe. During the Safari we had tasty meals together in the hotels or outside at the Nationalpark. We stayed in nice rooms. This experience was so wonderful. We saw so many great places and animals because of Thomas' great tour. I can't tell you anything they could do better. We felt welcome and as friends.
Furthermore we had some problems with our Creditcard but Joseph and Thomas were so relaxed and told us not to worry.
All in all I only can say: do it and enjoy it.

Great variety and insight
Wonderful week in Little Machaba and Jacks Camp. Our hosts were exceptional. Our guide at Machaba in the Okavango Delta was called BT, who managed to find a huge variety of wildlife whilst respecting their routines. Jack's in the Kalahari desert contrasted, with a more harsh environment and excellent insight into the origin of man from our guide Greg - as well as a wide range of activities including the Meerkats. Great holiday, with great organisation by Rose and team. Thank you.

Absolutely Amazing!
The whole tour was planned and implemented perfectly. Jake was everything you could hope for from a guide, and much more. He was kind, knowledgable and great fun to spend time with. His choice of driver was great, Wilson was the best driver we could have had, always spotting the rare animals long before any of the other drivers.
Jake selected, and arranged, a great many different hotels and camps for us to stay, all of them were excellent, with great food, comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. We saw every animal we hoped to, and so many more. Kenya is beautiful and huge. Wildtouch tours is the very best way to get to see some of this fabulous country. I cannot recommend Wildtouch Tours strongly enough.

Kind and knowledgeable guides in a beautiful and wild setting
Prior to the camp communication was brilliant, and it continued to be clear and open during safari. The tours were varied and suited to the individual.

Tolbert went truly above and beyond all expectations to make this trip incredible.
The service went far beyond our expectations! This was an amazing trip with Tolbert, our tour guide, who had an encyclopedic knowledge of everything and never left us with an unanswered question. We felt safe the entire time, while still having the adventure we wanted. Tolbert was extremely friendly and helpful and I would recommend him to anyone going to Uganda.

Perfect first safari trip
Working with Mahlatini was a breeze. I gave Nikki my wishes and she delivered the trip of my dreams. I traveled alone from the US and I was met at all locations with a driver or guide. I visited Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.The lodges I stayed at were wonderful. All connections between places I stayed were seamless. I saw the big five and have so many wonderful pictures. I am thinking of using Mahlatini again for a trip to Kenya. Highly recommend this company.

Excellent communication, organisation and professionally run tour
The communication prior to arriving was excellent. The team dealt amazingly with my repeated flight delays and cancellations which made a very stressful situation so much better. I was met on arrival and everything went exactly as described for the rest of the trip. The food was great, my accommodation at the Trekkers Lodge was comfortable, clean and had beautiful views. My guide Patrick was informative, knowledgeable and helpful. All in all, it was good value and thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to Chris, Patrick and everyone who made the trip unforgettable!

Everything was well planned
Picking up at hotel, tranfer to boarder, boarder /visa-formalities and further transfer to the Victoria falls was perfect planned.
Good information during the trip, additional stop at the bridge at the falls (which was requested by us) was no problem.
very good!!
Reservation of campground for 4 cars and 9 people in Kasane was well done!
