A paradise for animal lovers
I went with Serengeti African Tours and a got a knowledgeable guide in the form of Francis who made our safari unforgettable. The wildlife in Serengeti was spectacular. Not did we see the big 5, but we saw cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, etc in abundance. Our chef Ashraf made fresh local food which was delicious and comforting. It was my first experience tasting African cuisine and suffice to say I wasn't disappointed. After our safari we headed to Zanzibar and the beautiful white sand beaches were just what we needed after an adventurous safari. The clear waters provided excellent snorkelling opportunities. Overall Tanzania is not just a country, it's an experience that everyone should have on their bucketlist.

The trip planning and execution was seamless from landing until departure
“The trip during the late offseason was as you described: Ultimate! From the time we landed in Cape Town until departure from Johannesburg, 19 days later, it was seamlessly presented. The Dube and Selinda camps were comfortable, well staffed, well provisioned, and the day trips well guided. Our Duba guide: Ntebbie, the first female guide in Botswana, knew her fauna and flora well and comfortably let us experience, 3! Leopards in 4 days. This part of the world has yet to experience the tourist glut and animal pressure in the rest of the World. Try your best to keep it that way! Again, well done! Thank you."

Reliable Safari Tour Company that offers an unforgettable African adventure.
We booked three tours with Kubwa Five Safari for our Africa trip, covering six countries: Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Ethiopia. They designed customized itineraries based on our preferences and time constraints, adjusting them based on our feedback.
The team leader, Joseph, and his team at Kubwa Five Safari consistently answered our questions, addressed our concerns, and ensured the program maintained a comfortable pace for each activity. As experienced tour operators, they considered all logistical details, double-checked our flight information, reassured us about visa requirements, reminded us to bring bug repellent and take required immunizations, and advised us on proper attire for the trip.
When one of our flights was delayed, I informed Joseph. He promptly coordinated with the local team to reschedule our activities, ensuring we didn’t miss the helicopter ride over Victoria Falls in Zambia.
During each tour, their representatives met us at every connection, airport, and border, making us feel safe and well-cared-for throughout our journey. Joseph also followed up with us in each town we visited, ensuring we were satisfied with the program and our guide. Our tour guides, Samuel in Uganda and Fikru in Ethiopia went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience in their home countries. Samuel would rearrange activities or adjust the schedule to ensure we had enough time to enjoy the game drives and visit local villages. Fikru invited us to his home, where his wife prepared a delicious traditional Ethiopian lunch. She also made coffee from raw beans, roasted them over charcoal, ground them, and then brewed the coffee. It was tasty, and we all agreed it was the best coffee ever.
They were very knowledgeable about game drives, local culture, and history. Because of them, we gained invaluable experiences that will stay with us forever.
We had a fantastic month in Africa, and I highly recommend Kubwa Five Safari.

Organized, great communication and fantastic experience
Highly recommend Lion King Adventures. We booked a private tour for 6 people. The communication from Lion King Adventures in the lead up to the tour was excellent. They provided very clear communications throughout the process of planning, booking and preparing for the trip. Once the tour started everything went seamlessly and our guide (Ezekiel) was very friendly and helpful. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would recommend Lion King Adventures.

5-Day Kenyan Safari Tour Review: Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha
We recently embarked on a 5-day Kenyan safari tour to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we were picked up, our tour guides, Dennis and Peter, exceeded our expectations. They were not only highly knowledgeable about the local wildlife but also incredibly friendly and easy-going, which made the whole journey even more enjoyable.
One of the standout aspects of this tour was how considerate our guides were regarding my wife's pregnancy. They went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable throughout the trip. They carefully selected the best roads to minimize any bumps and arranged for accommodations that were not only comfortable but also conveniently located. This attention to detail and genuine care made us feel safe and well taken care of at all times.
The safari in the Masai Mara was the highlight, with our guides expertly navigating the park and providing insightful information about the animals we encountered. We were lucky enough to see the "Big Five" and countless other species in their natural habitats. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha was serene, offering close-up views of hippos and a variety of bird species. At Lake Nakuru, we were mesmerized by the sight of a hunting lioness and even spotted a few rhinos.
Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of adventure and comfort. We highly recommend Laxatrails Safaris to anyone looking to explore Kenya’s stunning wildlife, especially if you’re looking for a tailored experience that considers your specific needs. Our guides truly made this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Fantastic experience, great guide, good value
We took a 6 person private tour with Frena through Rwanda and Uganda. Our itinerary started with the Golden Monkeys in Rwanda before doing a Gorilla and Chimpanzee trek in Uganda. We also had a boat ride on Lake Bunyonyi and the Kazinga Channel and a game drive in Queen Elizabeth NP. We had a fantastic time on the tour, the Gorilla and Chimpanzee treks were the highlights. We'd also highly recommend our guide (Ronald) who was excellent at making sure the trip ran smoothly, providing us with information throughout the journey and answering our many question in depth. One area for improvement would be with the Frena head office. While our experience was still smooth some of their communications could have contained more detailed / organised.

This is a very professional tour operator that patiently answers our questions.
We went to Tanzania in May, and visited three national parks: tarangire,ngorongoro,serengeti. We saw many animals, including giraffe peepee, lions rest in the tree, and elephants only eat flowers on the ground. Is a very magical experience, i really like this palace, i will back in dry season!

Excellent choice by our touroperator
This company was arranged by our tour operator. An excellent choice. Sam picked us up in Waterbergen at the Honeyguide game ranger camp. He was right on time, which was important, because after a journey of almost five hours we had to be back at the Klaserie private game reserve park in time for another game drive. Sam was a great, pleasant driver.
