A wild experience of a lifetime !
Our travel guide , Roger, did an excellent job right from the first conversation, discussion of various possible options . He took us through the entire list of possible combinations at Tanzania with the time that we had at hand. Once we jointly finalised the itinerary, Safaristar did an amazing job of looping us in on any relevant details of the trip, travel, accommodation , meals and kept our expectations realistic as to what we might see during the safari. This was our first safari out of our country and we left with fond, thrilling memories of the game drive and lovely stay. Roger kept us busy scouting for the Big 5 (which we were able to spot) , enjoying the dreamy African savanna, spotting the wildebeest migration and comforting us to his best capabilities. He is young and will go places in life!

Excellent experience, our guide has special eyes to find remote animals. Love wild secret team.
We just completed a 7 days camping safari with Wild Secret Safaris. not only we saw all big five animals, but we also experienced wildebeest migration. They really customised the trip to our needs and proposed an programme that did fit perfectly. We were very happy for our guide who has special cheetah eyes allowing him to spot the animal around and an rich experience of the parks. The cook tried best to make nice meals for us and really succeded, in terms of variety and quality. This is definitely an unforgettable experience.
Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Marissa Hatch
Great experience!
Exhilarating
Within the first 5 minutes we saw a hunt between a lioness and a zebra. This happened exactly as our guide was telling us that it was very rare to see a lion, and not to get our hopes up. We also had a huge male elephant walk directly by our jeep. Our guide went above and beyond to make sure we had a amazing experience. Lunch was surprisingly good. They kept marketing it as a light lunch but it was wraps, salads and fries with options to buy soda, ice cream, beer. We had a great view at lunch with giraffes and zebras. Would highly recommend!

We had the best guide Tony, cosy tents to stay in, saw a lot of animals and beautiful scenery.
The service was good and the people were always really helpful. They asked us before the tour what we wanted them to bring, like water, bananas etc. It was eight hours drive but it was possible to have open windows so it went really smooth and never went to hot. We got free lunch on the way and had several stops.
When we arrived we slept in big tents with two comfortable beds in it. We ate dinner in a tree house with view over the Nile. We ejoyed good food that was included and bought some beers since drinks was not included. When we weren’t on the game drive we relaxed and were also offered different activities for a small charge.
The safari was great and the scenery was beautiful. We didn’t get to see any lions or leopards but you can never expect that since it’s in the wild, and high grass in november. Our guide told us that it’s easier to see them while it’s dry season.
Overall we had a great experience and we can strongly recommend Mpanya safaris!

BEST experience ever! Couldn't be a happier first time visitor.
We had a FANTASTIC trip with no hiccups whatsoever as we visited 3 countries and stayed at 6 different places in 2 weeks. Kudos to our agent Walter Kohrs for ensuring we had the best experience ever! We left our hearts and minds in Botswana and Cape Town.
Walter helped me plan this trip so thoughtfully. He was detailed and articulate in giving me lots of tips(on which places to visit, immigration documentation etc), making sure I felt comfortable by always promptly responding to my emails, addressing each and every little detail and answering my bazillion questions. I was a first time nervous visitor, especially since I was traveling alone with kids but all his information helped me out a lot.
We really enjoyed our safari experiences at the lodges in Botswana. Wildlife viewing was the highlight of our trip but coming back to a cozy comfortable place to stay and eating delicious foods can't be discounted. Luxurious lodging went a long ways in giving my kids a fantastic experience they are going to treasure for life.
All our flights were on time, each and every place we had folks come receive us and drop us off on time. In Botswana- our stays at all the lodges were fabulous. Transfers between lodges were very well coordinated and executed on time. Staff at each and every lodge in Botswana and even in Victoria falls were friendly and their hospitality was remarkably professional and punctual. We loved all our guides and the kids had a blast all through out the trip.
Our safari experiences were amazing - we couldn't get enough of the wildlife and sceneries in spite of doing almost 11 safaris. We saw everything except wild dogs and leopard. In Cape Town, staff at Primi sea castle and Hylton Ross travels were awesome. I am now considering visiting some other countries in Africa that offer superior wildlife viewing and cultural experiences.

One of the most awesome experiences of my life.
Biggie made every stop fun. We saw any and every animal imaginable many times. The accommodations were excellent and the food was far better than anything we got in town.
If the opportunity arises we would most definitely use Adventure Makers and Biggie again.

Professional, friendly, and genuine staff that make for a lovely and memorable experience!
Our communications ran smoothly and were all very friendly. I had actually made an error with the payment and they were very quick to help me remedy the situation. The services of were all of good quality and exceeded our expectations. The safari was lovely with an adequate lunch that catered for our dietary needs. The best part about every part of the arrangement was the people- absolutely lovely people from the booking to the end of the safari. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely Beautiful & Great Time!
Me and my husband were looking for a Safari Operator, which offers a mid-range safari & covers all the National Parks in the north of Tanzania. Therefore we used Trip Adviser, This is how we found Tanzania Horizon Safaris with lots of good reviews. Finally we booked the "7-Day Best of Northern Tanzania Safari" via Elizabeth . One of our best decisions!!! Everything went very smooth: she answered all our questions and also the payment went without any troubles.
In particular we loved our driver/guide John! He is such a nice person with a heartly laugh. It was such a pleasure to spent the 7 days with him. We felt always very safe in his Jeep, because he is really a good driver. Furthermore, he knows sooo much about the animals and plants. Moreover, we were also talking a lot about Tanzania in general, the education, the Masaai people, the government...
We are also very satisfied with the chosen accommodations like the Mawe Tented Camp in Serengeti or Eileens Tree House. At Ngorongoro Crater we were very lucky and were upgraded so that we could stay directly at the rim of the crater-really fantastic view.
Altogether: We can highly recommend Tanzania Horizon Safaris and would also choose this Operator again and again. John, see you one day again. All the Best!!! By the way, when will you pick us up after breakfast tomorrow ;-)))

Nothing but praise for Let's Go Travel, Nairobi, Kenya; knowledgable, efficient and polite staff.
After initial effort to reach the company through the website, I had a friend connect me with the agency in Nairobi. Originally worked with Petronilla, who I understand has moved to another agency. Would like to applaud Mark Manyim who picked up the file and concluded it with grace and efficiency. They helped us design a specific itinerary, as I was originally from Kenya and wanted to see certain sites in and around the Capital City, as well as visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Aberdare National Park. We travelled in a land cruiser with Jimmy Nzomo as our driver and guide - what a wonderful man and brilliant driver - we enjoyed his knowledge and company immensely, and again would like to applaud him for his work. We felt we became friends with the staff and visited the office upon our return to Nairobi.
