Excellent experience from start to finish!
I was a bit apprehensive about planning a trip with any company- it's always hard to know who is on the other end, where your money is going, etc. My fears were laid to rest once I started working with Nadine from Safari Specialists. Nadine helped us plan a trip of a lifetime! She worked within our budget and gave us recommendations based on her own travel experiences. Nadine went above and beyond to answer any and all questions we had - her answers were extremely detailed and we felt 100% confident in our decisions because of this. During the planning process and the trip we had the opportunity to interact with other people from Safari Specialists as well. Each person had the same level of professionalism and knowledge that Nadine did. The end result is our trip was perfectly planned with no detail overlooked. The name is appropriate- they are the Safari Specialists!

I enjoyed my trip and the dealings with Africa-in-Focus was exceptional
Even though it was a difficult time for the family running Africa-in-Focus we were looked after from the start of the tour to the end. I did the Cape Town to Victoria Falls tour with Maryke, Gary and Sydney and couldn't fault their dedication and hard work. I felt safe and looked after the whole time. We saw lots of animals on several game drives which was why we were there. African people are very friendly and found people waving at us as we drove through their villages and towns. I am considering doing the Kenya to Victoria Falls next year and wouldn't hesitate to go with Africa-in-Focus again.

Great Guides, well organized and fun!
For a low budget safari, it was great! The cook and the guides that we had a great attitude and were very knowledgeable. Even without all of the extras (balloon, boat ride), it was well worth it. Food was excellent and the accommodation wasn't bad at all. I would totally come back and go on safari again with these guys!

2 days Pilanesberg Safari
We made 2 days Pilanesberg Safari with Chris, it was just great as we saw plenty of animals. His truck is clearly of added value as it is perfectly equiped. Chris knows very much about the bush and is willing to share his knowledge. We just regret that the catering plans changed in the course of the safari.
I clearly recommend Armadillo as it's a guarantee to have a great safari experience.

Fabulous from start to finish.
Zambezi Safari & Travel Co was recommended to me by a dear friend who had experienced an amazing holiday herself in Zambia. She is deaf and has a severe visual impairment but Zambezi organised such a wonderful holiday for her with some very special memories. We are a family of 4 with two teenage girls and safari first-timers. As soon as I spoke to Fi Thompson, the Kenya specialist, I knew that she would find us the perfect safari experience. We talked at length about what we wanted from the holiday and she recommended 3 different locations each offering totally different experiences. Having grown up in Kenya, Fi knew so much about the different areas and camps available and when we had finally made our decision to go ahead she even called one of the camp owners at his home to secure the booking. She always responded promptly to all my queries, any time of the day and I really felt in safe hands. When the troubles in Kenya started to affect some holiday areas, Fi was so reassuring but suggested changing our route home slightly so that we didn't go via Mombassa. During the holiday, every pick-up, flight and transfer went so smoothly and we really felt valued by the wonderful people in Kenya for realising that the majority of Kenya is no-where near any problems or incidents and that it really is safe to travel there. We have some amazing photos and stories to share and I really can't thank Fi and Zambezi enough for making it all happen.

Excellent tour, a range of activities and fantastic value. Knowledgeable and helpful staff!
I used African Breeze tours to book a 5 day tour of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha and Hells Gate National Park. The tour was fantastic value, accommodation was adequate and the meals provided were of a good quality. The staff were extremely helpful, prior to booking they communicate well and helped tailor the trip to my requirements. During the safari the staff demonstrated excellent knowledge of the local area and were able to spot and provide information on all the local wildlife. The tour company were very accommodating with pick up and drop offs in Nairobi. I would definitely recommend booking through African Breeze, they exceeded all of my expectations! I will be sure to use the company again if i am ever fortunate enough to return to Kenya. Thank you for making holiday a trip which I will remember for the rest of my life!

Great experience!
Our 4 day safari with Afro Wilderness DMC was great. Really good service and knowledge about the animals and how to find them. Chatting with our guide Shiraz was always good fun. We appreciated a lot that we got help for transport and accomodation in Dar Es Salam from a family member of Shiraz. Absolutly recommendable!

What a Safari Experience!
Our safari was Excellent, We had our list fully covered. The game drives were rewarding while a launch cruise on Kazinga was wow! Gorilla tracking was the most interesting activity. The food at lodges was delicious and very hospitable people everywhere.
The guide was very skillful and a perfect driver, thanks to Adrian you made our safari a memorable experience. Many thanks to the Pinnacle Safaris team for organizing a rewarding safari.

An amazing safari company which plays a big role in giving back to the community.
We have been recommending our SIC volunteers to go on safari with Jackpots for more than two years. None of our volunteers has come back and complained about anything. Amazing Amazing!

Amazing Experience!
I was referred to Chels Tours by two friends I met while in Tanzania, and a tour guide named Beatus in particular. Unfortunately, my time for the safari was limited to one day, but Beatus did a wonderful job of squeezing everything in. He was very knowledgable, went at my group's pace, and had a wonderful sense of humor. I recommend him and Chels Tours to anyone looking for a quality African safari experience (it should be noted that I went on safari to the Tarangile, not the Serengeti. I would recommend the Tarangile to anyone, as well!).
