The most incredbile African Safari
We had the good fortune to find this amazing company on Safaribookings.com, and I feel so glad that we traveled with their expert planning. The very best part was the entire trip was customized to our exact preferences, including travel dates, lodge choices and activities planned. We enjoyed seeing both Kruger Park, and Pilanesberg Park as they were both filled with so many species of animals. We would highly recommend both the lodges we stayed at as well:Hippo Hollow Estates, and Bakuabung Lodge. A highlight of our trip was our safari guide, Muzzi. He made our trip extra special with his animal spotting expertise and good humor throughout our travels with him. This company is extremely professional and as a customer you will always feel safe and well cared for! We can't wait to return with them.

Wonderful safari in Kenya
Wonderful Safari in Kenya
In September we visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Terminal Tours. We had a wonderful safari in Kenya and we would definitely recommend this company to other people. We chose a budget safari but the service and the trip were excellent and everything we wished for. The staff of Terminal Tours were also wonderful. They are very friendly and they helped us a lot to arrange things for our next destination.
We are a young couple from the Netherlands and in September we went to Africa for the first time. We were looking online for safaris but it was quite difficult because there are so many operators offering safaris in Kenya. Eventually we decided to go for Terminal Tours because they offered group safaris for a good price, and we got some enthusiastic emails from previous customers (we asked for recommendations).
On our first day we left for Masai Mara after paying for the Safari and picking up some fellow travellers. With a group of 7 people we went to Masai Mara and the park was absolutely amazing! The Masai Mara park is very beautiful and there are large numbers of wildlife. Our driver James was good at spotting wildlife so we saw a lot of animals and also some baby cheetahs. We stayed in the Mara Sidai camp for 3 nights and we liked this a lot: good food and very friendly staff.
We switched cars in Masai Mara and left with only four people for Lake Nakuru. The park was more beautiful than we expected and the driver told us we were lucky because we spotted a large group of flamingo's and some rhino's. The only disadvantage was that we stayed in a hotel in the city instead of in the nature, but we knew that in advance.
The last park we visited was Amboseli. In Nairobi we switched cars again and said goodbye to the other travellers. The drive from Nakuru to Amboseli is long but it was definitely worth it. Less crowded than Masai Mara, for us the best park. The park, with the big herds of elephants and the Kilimanjaro in the background is very pretty. Our new driver, Ambros, was excellent! He told us a lot about the park and the animals in it, which made our visit to the park even better. We stayed at the Kimano camp. The camp was very basic, also compared to the campside in Masai Mara, but the stay was good thanks to the excellent food of our funny and friendly cook.

Great experience!
My friend and I travelled with this group for a 5 day safari in the Masai Mara. Edwina is extremely helpful and accommodating and also makes some really cool suggestions. In our 5 days we flew from Nairobi into the Masai Mara, stayed at 3 different amazing lodges and went on safari every morning and afternoon to different areas. We also did the hot air balloon ride followed by a champagne brunch! We have recommended them to many of our friends since and they have never failed to satisfy! 5 stars plus! Not to be missed!

Amazing best value for money....Fantastic itinerary
Evelyn @ 7 wonders curated an amazing safari experience for us, we got to visit the ngorongoro crater and lake manyara and stayed in the most amazing hotels with views to die for! All this at a price that I think other tour operators can not beat! Plus the are a local Tanzanian run company which is a plus!!! I can not recommend their services enough. They are the best! We even booked with them for zanzibar and so far no disappointments!

Tailor Made Safaris made a dream come true.
When you're married 35 years, you want to do something special. We asked Tailor Made Safaris to arrange a trip for us in which we wanted to do several things. Safari, sea, whales, a boat-trip at the river etc. etc.
What a great journey we have got. Every day we enjoyed so much. All the animals, the Big Five, the beautiful birds. The bush, the parks, Kosi Bay, St. Lucia, the Drakensbergen, it was great. A special award for the way Geert en Freya / Tailor Made Safaris arranged everything. The accomodations in the different parks, the guides and Nicolas ( Tailor Made Safaris ), the transport, it was all great. Tailor Made Safaris didn't only promise us a great trip, they made there words come true!!!!!!!!

Amazing Zimbabwe - 4 types of safari in one trip
I had travelled with this company before but my partner Janet had not. We were both taking early retirement and I wanted to surprise her with something special. They put together an amazing itinerary, kept me informed and made everything happen so smoothly (doesn't always happen in Africa!), even keeping the secret from Janet.
First worry from Janet was how safe is Zimbabwe. There were no worries as we were so well looked after by guides and camp staff. Even the transfers ran without problems.
Imbabala on the banks of the Zambezi was a treat. Moonlight suppers under the stars, amazing game drives and river cruises - even woken from a siesta one afternoon to see a herd of elephants crossing the river. Camp Hwange was totally different, - same wonderful hospitality and food but rugged terrain and close encounters with lion and elephants in particular. Our third camp was again in Hwange but a walking safari with Leon Varley. We tracked leopard, lion, hyena and elephant. An exhilarating experience to be on the ground with the animals. An amazing guy with many incredible stories to tell around the camp fire. The last stop was on an island in Lake Kariba. Safari's from a boat! getting very close to buffalo that would not be possible on land. And the most amazing sunsets, once with an old bull elephant way out in the water feeding on soft reeds with the sun setting behind him which will stay in my memory forever.
In this part of Africa game is almost guaranteed but the difference is the feeling that these special moments with the game are yours alone. There are not dozens of vehicles surrounding a lion unlike the Masai Mara. Mostly it is just your truck and the wildlife.
I cannot recommend the Zambezi Safari Company highly enough for arranging a sensational trip for us, not just the wildlife but superb organisation, so much so that we could totally focus on relaxation and adventure.

Well organized, beautiful experience and they do what they promise!!!
We had a great time. Communication by mail and almost immediate response. Everything was possible, we made changes, and changes again.... And at the end, everything was 100% organized.
Correct driver, and the cook made nice meals. Accomodation as promised. The safari itself was superb, we saw the Big Five within 3 hours. Really enjoyed the tour with Big Time Safari.
Martha and John, and everybody else who made this such a great experience: THANKS!!!!
