Perfectly planned and carried out.
We were in South Africa from Sept. 15 – 25. The entire time in the Safari region was organized by Mark Garzancich, who started out by gathering information from us regarding wishes and, importantly, our budget. Simply put, his planning and follow-through were flawless; we stayed in 3 different lodges, all of which provided us with unforgettable, rich wildlife experiences. If we were to return, we would definitely have Mark plan the Safari experience for us again.

N.E.S is a great company with focused staff I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to anyone
Hello Hilary, we had an amazing time at the Mara in particular, it was wonderful seeing all the big five as well as a cheetah kill. We even saw some unusual and somewhat timid animals as well, very exciting stuff. All those camps were nothing short of excellent, Well worth the money! we plan to go again real soon. Thank you too for arranging this trip for us and your team, we will never forget it.

It managed a great tour in Limpopo and Western Cape ( flights, car rentals, stays in those regions)
High professionality, availability 24 hours/day for problem solving and any kind of information ( even in sunday and overnight).
Perfect choices of game lodge and resort for our Kruger safari, even over our expectations. I will sure recommend South African DreamTours to our friends for great Holidays !!!!!

Our visit to Tanzania was the trip of a lifetime-it couldn't have been better!
We had the most wonderful experience with EWA, from start to finish. When we were planning our trip, Brian was extremely responsive, getting back to us promptly whenever we asked questions and always providing excellent suggestions. All aspects of our trip were handled flawlessly. The trip gave us the combination of wildlife viewing and cultural experiences that we wanted, the accommodations were all we could have hoped for, the food was wonderful, and best of all was our guide, Sammy Sikombe, who has an incredible store of knowledge, not only about wildlife but about the local culture. He answered our endless questions with detailed, thoughtful responses. He has a great sense of humor, quoting Forrest Gump with a perfect accent. He's also a talented musician and singer and entertained us with renditions of Hakuna Matata at the drop of a hat. He always seemed to be able to place us in the right place at the right time. When we were in Ngorogoro Crater, we were some of the few visitors who actually got a close up view of a black rhino, which passed right in front of us due to Sammy's careful positioning of our car (and EWA's selection of a beautiful hotel on the edge of the crater that was also in the park, allowing us to stay an hour longer than most). Sammy also gave us some personal glimpses into Tanzanian life by letting us meet his family and friends; he also took us to visit the Elephant Project in Tarangire National Park, where he worked for 8 years, which was wonderful experience and probably a bit out of the ordinary. Sammy also has a great eye for the best place to take photographs, and always managed to have us in the best possible position for the beautiful Tanzanian sunsets. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Unforgettable African Safari
This summer we had the pleasure of going on safari with Widala Tours and Safari.
It was an unforgettable trip, which included two parks; Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. I liked that we were able to experience different terrains in the two parks, and we were able to see such a variety of animals. When we first arrived we were greeted by a troop of baboons and lots of monkeys. For lunch we had a picnic and there was a herd of elephants with a baby walking below the picnic area. We also saw many giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs, hyenas, ostriches, birds, lions, rhinos, gazelles, jackals, cape buffaloes, lots of hippos, and so much more. The following day we had lunch by the hippo pool. There was a mamma hippo and her baby swimming around. It was incredible to see the mamma hippo open her huge mouth and eat a giant chunk of grass. It was such a great experience to see all the animals in their natural habitat. Our guides were so knowledgeable about all the animals and were able to locate them and tell us about them. Thank you Widala tours for an unforgettable experience.
A wonderful company with great knowledge and very friendly staff
My family have booked with Zambezi Safari & Travel Company for over 10 years. Every year we say it will be our last safari but we keep going back to them.
We have visited South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Congo with them and their help and advice has always been invaluable. They have been honest, reliable and efficient in every one of our previous 5 safari trips with them and we are very much looking forward to using their services again next year!

Great organisation of our Ruaha camping trip by Karibu World
My recent camping trip to Ruaha National Park was fabulously organised by Karibu. There were no problems at all, we were promptly picked up from the airstrip and were warmly welcomed to the camp site where we got a real feel of life in the bush. Our guides were very helpful (even spotted a leopard). I highly recommend booking through Karibu World for a hassle-free trip.

Most Incredible Tanzania Safari Experience!
Victor and everyone at Widala Tours was extremely accommodating from our first inquiry through the completion of our safari. Our trip to Tanzania was packed full of activities and places to be. We knew we really wanted to go on a safari but time did not permit for a 10 day extravagant booking. Victor understood this and created a customized itinerary that fit our schedule and our budget. He knew the best parks for us to visit to see the most amazing animals on our safari. He arrived with his team when they picked us up in Arusha to ensure that our safari began flawlessly and he stopped by our hotel after the safari to make sure that we were satisfied with our trip. We could not have been happier with the amazing service that was provided by Widala Tours!

Very good experience, every thing went according to I expected
The tour was very good, satisfactory. Bernhard, the guide, is very kind and, most important, he knows how to do his job. He is also a photographer, so he try to find the best angles to see the animals. I recommend this tour.

Nice Trip
Face of Africa adventures is a very serious company that make your travel very easy and enjoyable. They worry about everything, you only have fun.
We did our honeymoon with them and we always remember it. We did a private safari with madafaa, an english-italian guide. He taught us a lot about animals, plants and even the African culture. We can say that at the end of the 6 day safari we considered him as a friend. He was always very friendly, fun and prone to explain everything that we needed. We strongly recommend to do a safari with him, since we cannot think of a better guide. Since he has an incredible sight, we could see a pletora of amazing scenes with the animals, including lion's haunting!!!
It is also worthy of note that our jeep was almost new, and we do not have any problem with the car.
