The best!
We've had an amazing experience with Visit Arusha! We've had classic jeep safari, walking safari with bushmen and holidays on Zanzibar. Their staff was very helpful and quick to respond. Guides were very knowledgeable and friendly! We've had really great time with our guide and in the end of our safari we received a very nice surprise!! Highly recommended!

Great safari, very knowledgeable guide/driver and the kids loved it
Organizing the trip was very easy and answers came back very quickly. A small hiccup was tented camp vs. lodge but in the end I could accept that. The driver/guide was more than excellent, safe driver and knew the answer to almost every question we threw at him, Stephen was just great.
We had 3 kids 18, 11 and 7 which limited the number of days we could thought we could spend so we decided for the 4 day safari which actually could have been 5 days with an extra day in Masai Mara.
I would for sure recommend KETS to any of my friends but make sure all lodging alternatives are clearly sorted out to avoid surprises.

Amazing Memories Created With Professionals Who Love Kruger Park
If you are going to Kruger Park you will be in good hands with Kruger Flexi Tours. From my first inquiry to Dave about his services and prices to the last heartfelt hug good-bye our experience was superb. Dave took care of every request efficiently with little fanfare and it was so nice to have just one person to deal with all our needs for our weeks stay in the area. Ted picked us up at the airport, waited patiently while we grocery shopped and helped us into our condo with every last bag. He is a local native, loves the flora, fauna and animals of the area, is excited to share the wealth of information he has stored in his head you cant help but love him. He was the perfect and guide and companion to take us on the Panorama Tour, to the Lowveld Botanical Garden and the Festival Dinner at Shangana Village. British Dave was our guide in the park and we couldn't have had better, by 11:00 am each day he showed us the big 5. He also loves what he does and we value all the information he shared with us concerning the many animals we saw. It is a trip of a lifetime and very important to choose the professionals who will give you the best experience possible. I believe that company is Kruger Flexi Tours

Beyond our wildest dreams!
This was our very first trip to Africa and though I have been looking at various tour companies and options for the last few years I decided to narrow it down to one Company that can incorporate a Gorilla trekking to our trip. There are a lot out there but I am happy to have picked Go2Africa.com. Our trip went very smoothly, with no glitch at all. The owner of Africa Beyond Borders even paid us a personal visit at our lodge in Entebbe and gave us some tips - it was a nice touch! We worked with Emma Harrop who did an outstanding job. The only thing I would have changed is extend our game drives another day or 2 because it was just so fabulous!

Very memorable experience!
I traveled to Tanzania with three friends in July 2014 with the assistance of E-Trip. Ben and his team planned our entire 15 day trip, which included a 7 day trek on Mt. Kilimanjaro, 2 day Safari, and 3 days in Zanzibar. E-Trip was incredibly accommodating to our needs and answered all of our questions prior to and during our trip, which even included a pre-trip Sykpe session. Ben and his team were very knowledgeable about the country, culture, and travel options for us. We felt very prepared (even with the help of a detailed packing list) and were able to accomplish everything we hoped to in Tanzania. All of us made it to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and we felt safe and taken care of during the entire trip by our guides and trekking team. E-trip provided us with a detailed itinerary outlining our schedule and travel plans for each day we were in Africa. We also appreciated the personalized attention that we received from Ben and his team, as we met with Ben at three different occasions to discuss our climb and next steps in our itinerary. I can speak for myself and our entire group that we would HIGHLY recommend E-Trip to anyone who is planning on or even considering traveling to Africa. We all had incredibly memorable experiences and enjoyed every moment of our trip.

Safari Source: a friendly, knowledgeable and reliable source
I first contacted Monika Korn in 2010 when she worked for another company.
it was my first trip to Zimbabwe and Africa. Not knowing anything about
safaris I left it up to her to do all the bookings. She put me up with Stretch
Ferreira at Goliath and African Bush Camps at Kanga and I haven't looked
back since. I had such a wonderful time, made real friends (we still get
together on safari) that I have hust wound up my 10th safati in 4 years. Whether
it's putting together a wildlife safari or a cultural tour in Southern Africa
Monika knows the most knowledgeable and interesting people to book you
with. At Matopos and Bulawayo we got Ian Harmer and Rob Burrett, both native
grown raconteurs steeped in th wildlife and history of the area.
Monika made sure we departed and arrived safely any time she was involved
in the booking of our transfers. When our bus from Bulawayo to Harare was delayed she waited till we got on to ensure we left safely. And since the bus was to arrive in Harare
late at night she called ahead to make sure we were greeted on arrival and that a hot meal
was ready as she figured we'd be hungry after a 6 hour bus trip and restaurants would be
closed. For southern Africa The Safari Source is a company you can trust to get things done right.

I Simply Can't Wait for My Next Trip with Born Free!
I've dreamed about taking an African safari for years and took a lot to time researching the areas and places I wanted to visit. Thinking that I could package the whole trip together myself, I spent hours pouring over web site reviews and the multitude of aspects (time of year, area, countries, operators, etc.) needed to make decisions. I was overwhelmed. That's when Born Free came into the picture. I spoke to Alana and explained exactly what I wanted and the comfort level I wanted to travel. I'm a bit more rugged while my husband likes the finer things in life. She customized a tour within our specified budget specifically addressing all of the things we wanted to see and how we wanted to see them. I knew the cost of most things as I did the homework first, and Born Free was extremely reasonable! But even better, she provided her expertise about the various countries and seasons, when to go and when not to go, how to get there, etc. She is a wealth of information. Melissa who works with Alana at Born Free was amazing at keeping us posted on when to do certain things (visas), creating our tight itinerary, and notifying us of any changes. They prepared a great little document package for the trip. While I felt taken care of pre-trip, I really felt taken care of throughout the entire trip! We had fantastic guides, bright, insightful and full of experience. The name Born Free helped us get into restaurants and sights as I realized once I was there that they are well connected. We were met at the airport each time we landed (we did Rwanda and Kenya) which made us feel very safe as let's face it, we're far from home. The accommodations were exactly what we wanted, clean, comfortable, excellent service, and food. The safari itself was simply a dream from the animals to the lush accommodations to the people that took care of us. I will definitely recommend Born Free to anyone wanting an amazing trip to Africa. She keeps your budget in mind and has the know how to piece it all together at a reasonable price. I simply can't wait for my next trip with Born Free....

A great experience which my wife and I will always cherish
Faustin helped my wife and I plan our honey moon in Tanzania. He pretty much helped us organize the whole trip starting with the safari in Mikumi Nation Park all the way to the two weeks we spent on the island of Zanzibar.
From the moment we landed in Dar es Salaam Faustin took care of everything: he took us from the airport and provided us with a car and driver who took us to Mikumi National Park. When we arrived at the resort, everything ready for us: our room with 3 meals a day; a car and guide in each day for just my wife and I.
After the 3 day safari, which was amazing, the driver took us back to Dar es Salam and Faustin waiting for us at the ferry station. He was kind enough to stand in line at the ticket queue so that we could get some rest.
Once again, when we arrived on the island of Zanziber, everything was ready for us: rooms at hotels were already booked, drivers were waiting for us. We had tour guides reserved where ever we went: Stone Town, Prison Island, Spices Plantation, Joziani Forrest and I'm sure that there are other places which I don't recall at this very moment.
When it was all said and done, Faustin safely escorted us back to the Airport in Dar es Salaam.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience and a great vacation which Faustin helped us plan and I would recommend his services with full confidence.

Climb Kilimanjaro with Focus In Africa
Amazing trip.....having climbed several mountains on several trips I was truly amazed by the service, care and expertise I got from Ficus in Africa. Booked them on line and response was immediate. Everything worked like clockwork. the guide Charles smiled all the way through the trip and gave me all the confidence I needed on summit day.
