Our second African safari with Giltedge and another excellent experience with them.
We worked with Sandi Bird of Giltedge. This was our 2nd African safari planned with her expertise. This time we went to Botswana for the incredible wildlife. Sandi was flexible with our requirements and proposed a fantastic itinerary for us. Everything worked out very well in the end and this allowed us to fully enjoy a worry free safari. Her itinerary allowed us to see and experience a range of environments and habitats in Botswana that maximised our time and wildlife encounters in this amazing country. Charter flight transfers between camps were seamless and hassle free. We would not hesitate to recommend Sandi of Giltedge Africa to any of our friends and in fact we do plan on traveling to Africa again in future with Giltedge.

Personable, down to earth, warm, funny and accommodating.
The staff are just all-around terrific. They are very accommodating and so well liked. They make you feel like family. Always having your safety in mind and able to answer any questions that you may have. I’ve never been on a vacation with happier people than those at Go Touch Down. Your days are full and your evenings delightful!
I went on Safari and was very pleased from beginning until end. I did not want to leave! Definitely worth the trip and affordable as well.

Amazing Images
I have been on many safaris. My favorite animal photos come from evening sunset drives. I’m able to capture so much more my professional cameras than you can with an iPhone. The end results were well worth the extra effort hauling my equipment around.

Amazing nature and culture!
Our guide, Mpairo was a Maasai himself.
He knows the park by heart and shows you everything you want.
We were able to see the big 5 within 3 full days.
We also walked in the park with a ranger next to the river with hippos and crocodiles.
We stayed at Sopa Lodge, which was amazing.
Lunch included 4 courses and dinner was a buffet.
We also had a group of monkeys in the hotel to entertain us.
The pool is perfect to cool down after a hot trip on the safari.
We also stayed at the Maasai Village for 1 night.
This is not as luxurious as the hotel but it is definitely worth it!
This is the only way to join the habbits of the culture.
They welcomed us with local food (which was very nice).
Then we went for a walk (it's a hard walk in the mountain but the view from above is amazing)
When we came back, Mpairo's brother made a bonfire where he made us a goatleg on the BBQ.
The morning after we did a balloonride where we saw lions, a big group of buffalos, hyena, elephants and many more. (I really recommend to do this!!)
Mpairo is really friendly and flexible.
I would love to go back with this organization!
Thanks again for the nice trip and say hi to your brother!

Just what the doctor ordered
Its been a while since we took a well-deserved break. This tour hit the spot. It was is more than excellent. The support team and our guide were excellent. They took very good care of us from the moment we landed in Nairobi. If you love wildlife and mother nature this is just what the doctor ordered.

Fabulous safari experience at a great price
From my initial enquiry up to a follow up email upon my return, Derrick at Africa Travel Waves was terrific at keeping in touch and answering my questions. He made every effort to ensure I had the safari experience I was looking for. The trip was great. Our driver Peter was very knowledgeable and worked hard to make sure we saw as much as possible. We saw many, many animals and birds and the scenery was spectacular. Accommodation was basic, but very comfortable, clean and very well run. I would definitely travel with this company again.

Once in a lifetime adventure executed to perfection !!
Our trip to Tanzania included a successful 8 day trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro (aka the "Roof of Africa") on the Lemosho route and a 2 day safari to Tarangire National Park - all with Tanzania Choice Safaris. From the pre trip planning forward, it was a fantastic experience. Brenda, Kakasii, Festo and Leslie designed a great itinerary and made themselves available throughout to answer all of our questions. Once on the ground in Tanzania we were treated like friends and family. The Tanzania Choice Safaris team went above and beyond to make this an experience of a lifetime. We came across many groups on the mountain and while on safari who had paid far more but were having a far less satisfying experience. If you're planning an ascent of Kilimanjaro or a safari, look no further than Tanzania Choice Safaris, you will not be disappointed.

An Incredible Safari/Beach Holiday in South Tanzania
Thank you to Tom and, more recently, Carmen for organising such an amazing holiday! We had been on safari about 10 years ago in Kenya and were very keen to do another one with our friends but didn't want to share the wildlife with lots of other vehicles!!! Tom Blakey of Wayfairer travel recommended a very reasonably priced (compared to the larger well known companies) two centre safari in Selous and Ruaha, South Tanzania with a 5 night stay on Mafia island and the possibility of seeing whalesharks. The whole trip ran like clockwork and we had an amazing time at both Selous and Ruaha camps, seeing loads of wildlife without many other vehicles turning up and even swam with whalesharks off the coast at Butiama Beach! I would definitely recommend Wayfairer travel to anyone thinking of organising a safari holiday.

Excellent service and attention and the guide was the best
Communication was very smooth, everything was done via WhatsApp the team was always ready to replay, when I ask for a different hotel they swiftly send the the info and rates. My safari trip was 5 days on 3 different locations but after visiting I would definitely consider to take out one of the destination and allocate that day in one of the others, in part so I could enjoy the installations better and some game reserves are better than others, either ask for more details of what to expect on each park or do more research about it, even though I went in February, which is low season and most of the animals are in Tanzania at the time, I liked that there were hardly many tourists. Also I’m so glad that i chose the land cruiser rather than the van, do not save on this take the land cruiser, save on the hotel if you must but you’ll be spending more time in the vehicle than the hotel
