Excellent half day tour to Soweto with Nhlalala and Norman
Me and a few friends of mine visited South Africa in August 2022. We ordered half day tour to Seweto with Nhlalala. I have got tel. number to Norman from my African friend. The tour was excellent - bus was really good, Norman was really nice person and good guide. The trip fully met our expectations. I know Nhlalala offers many other options for tourists. Thank you Norman!

Amazing and unforgettable Safari
We had an amazing safari with Starpal team in masai Mara. After dropping an email which was quickly responded by sales team, we discussed all safari info and our preference and they gave us a quote with the includes and what we were to pay for ourselves. All the hotel they proposed were great from staff to food and cleanness. We did 3 nights masai mara and we were able to see the big 5 and migration although we missed the river crossing but that was not our main issue. They also organized a hot air balloon on the third morning and it was fantastic. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable of flora and Fauna. On the last day they drive us to masai village where we were able to learn a lot about the masai community. We cant write everything but africa starpal safaris delivered one of our lifetimes experience. Thanks to Paul for arranging everything with the best rates ever.

Came as a guest, left as a friend
We booked ( a team of 13 people from Italy ) a 21 days Uganda Safari with Yaneta on 2020 but due to the Covid everything stopped and our trip was moved to August 2022.
Despite the pandemic we kept in touch with Bracius, and from March 2022 we set the fine tuning of our tour: we discussed via w.app of logistics, itineraries, transportation, adapter, visas... he was always very responsive and patient.
He is a open and friendly person, his skill and professionality were the ace helped us to reschedule safari 4 times: all in all, we had few pricing change and accomodations scheduled too.
The Yaneta qualified crew, our drivers and guides, have been far more beyond our expectations: Eddy, Nathan and Jimmy went out of their ways to make them sure we had the best experience, always with no hesitation.
Every day, always taking care uf us, shown their enthusiasm, love and knowledge for country and wildlife.
They also drove extra miles to make our stay in Uganda even more enjoyable.
We explored all the most famous ugandian National Parks, stunning landscapes and a awesome wilderness feel.
At Queen Elizabeth N. P. we met 22 lions in a day, an unforgetable experience!
But one of the best moment in my life so far was in Bwindi Impenetrable N.P., home of Mountain Gorillas: being eyes to eyes with some of them was breathtaking and reminded me the Africa taken from the picture-book I read when I was child.
To sum it up, i strongly recommend using Yaneta Safari if you consider tour in Uganda, they can tailored every trip right on the guests requests, at a great value.
Once again, thanks a lot Yaneta Team!

Unforgettable once in a lifetime experience
Our experience:
If you are a lover of animals and wildlife then i can only highly recommend this safari experience. It was one of the most amazing experiences of our life. Our safari exceeded all our expectations. We learned a lot about and saw lots of different animals, even some rare ones thanks to our great guide Edu! We chose the comfort option and the accomodation sometimes made us feel like we booked the luxurious one instead. The food at the lodges was also great. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. We also had 4 first row views of the great migration of wildebeest and it was simply stunning. It's very rare to see it so many times, but our amazing guide Edu made it possible. We also had some unforgettable nights where we slept and woke up in a tent next to a hippo, monkeys, wildebeest and zebras. We also witnessed a mini "earthquake" created by stampede of zebras. It was simply breathtaking! We also booked Maasai boma visit and a night game drive which were also very nice and unique experiences and i can highly recommend you to consider booking them too. Communication with the agency was great the whole time. Our guide was also very informative and he knew a lot of information about lots of different animals and birds
Tips for future travelers:
Definitely get good binoculars(it will be worth it) and if possible a good camera with a zoom lens. Clothes are not very relevant, you don't need sturdy shoes. But definitely bring good sunglasses. Don't wear overly expensive clothes since they will undoubtedly get dirty. Some roads tend to be very dusty and bumpy so expect to get tired from traveling and expect lots of dust.
Suggestions for the agency:
Only thing we thought of that could possibly make this already amazing itinerary even better is to have at least a day or two where the game drives would be split in two different intervals. One that would start very early in the morning, a break during lunch time and a second one that would last until late in the afternoon. This would be great to see nocturnal animals in action.
Possible improvements:
Lunch boxes were sometimes a bit disappointing which was weird since the food at the lodges was always very good.

Trip of a Lifetime - THANK YOU SNOWCAP TEAM
Snowcap provided us with an experience that surpassed our best expectations on our journey to Uhuru Peak. Kenneth did an excellent job of communicating with me overseas from day one which gave us confidence that this would be a great experience all along. When we arrived in Tanzania, we were greated by our Sr. Guide Makashi & Kenneth and were able to ride with them to stay at Snowcap Cottages prior to our hike which was wonderful. The entire time on the mountain the team catered to us to make sure we had the best time possible. From the porters, to the cook, waiter, guides, etc. everyone we interacted with added to our enjoyment of the trip. Our guides in particular, Makashi & Saimon, did an absolutely outstanding job of giving us a feel for Tanzanian culture, wildlife, and had a deep knowledge of the Kilimanjaro itself which enhanced our trek each day. We made it to the summit without any issues and were sad to have to leave the team after 7 days with them. Could not recommend this team any more. 10/10

Amazing service with great adventures and plenty of humor.
Our 5 day Gorilla and Chimp trekking trip was everything we hoped for. Our guide and the manager made a great team that made us laugh and marvel throughout the safari. They took good care of us and always made sure we were happy and healthy. Thanks a lot, we will come back!

Professional, personal touch, and you could tell they genuinely cared from the preps for the trip
Communication with Paul via emails and whatsApp before departure were the best. We were handled from the time we deplaned in Jomo kenyatta airport until the time they dropped us at our Nairobi hotel.
Our guide was experienced, knowledgeable, personable, and intelligent. Our expectations were surpassed in every aspect. We spent 10 days on safari visiting Samburu,ol pajata,Naivasha and Masai mara. We were the only people at the land cruiser with our guide.In addition, the game drives are the best i have ever been on a day, saw herds of elephants , leopards, hyenas with a stolen leopard kill, lot of lions,hippos along with a wide range of impala, waterbuck, bush buck and eland ! First class all the way! Will go back with same outfitter.
