Seamless Safari Experience with Wild Wings
This was our first visit to South Africa and first safari. My wife and I had some anxiety on how to arrange transfers, lodging, and game hunts. Luckily, we sent an inquiry to Wild Wings, and we knew from their informative response that we'd picked a winner right away. Our advisor, Madi, patiently answered our numerous questions and laid out all the details for us, including what to bring, cost, what to expect, and other important details and suggestions. From touch down at the Hoedspruit Airport to take off, we were taken care of by Wild Wings Safari. The transfer was waiting for us and shuttled us to the Gomo Gomo Game Lodge, giving us lots of information and details along the way. We even saw two giraffes right by the road along the way! Once at the lodge, we couldn't have been happier with our accomodations; meals; game drives; trackers, guides, and staff at the lodge. Ross and Dominic, our ranger and tracker, worked so hard to make sure we got great sightings each day. The food was excellent and prices for drinks were reasonable. With Wild Wings and Gomo Gomo Game Lodge, there were no surprises and everything went smoothly throughout our stay. We were picked up on our last day and sadly left our great experience. We highly recommend Wild Wing Safaris and the Gomo Gomo Game Lodge!

A memorable Incentive Trip to Amboseli National Park
Our local Insurance company had contacted several tour operators for an incentive trip and i an say, our choice Tropical Vacations Inc, didnt dissappoint...their response was efficient and also suggested workable options of the destinations, accommodation and price ranges....The driver guide James was informative and also attentive to our numerous questions...The farewell candle lit dinner at the Observation Hill inside the park was a plus and not to forget the final Nyama Choma lunch as a farewell...we will for sure use you for our other trips and are happy to strongly reccommend you to our friends..Thumbs up to Mathew, who also accompanied us just to make sure things run smoothly ....

A fantastic experience with quality service
We (party of 6) decided to book our trip 'the best of the elephant coast & drakensbergen' with Tailormade Safaris and had a truly wonderful experience. Everything was well-planned and organised and the service was exceptional. Geert/Nick and Freya really delivered on their promise of giving us a one of a kind experience, combining amazing gamedrives, great food (Tailormade Safaris' Nicholaas really knows how to braai!) and secluded lodges with breathtaking views. We will without a doubt book another Tailormade Safari. Geert/Nick, Freya, Nicholaas; thank you for the best trip i've ever had!

Wonderful, fun and fully immersed in the Tanzanian national parks
We did a safari with Aardvark expeditions in September 2014 and it was all we expected and more. We chose to do 5 days, just the two of us, and toured the Tarangire, Serengeti and Nogorongoro Crater. The whole safari was organised by Philemon, who took great care of my partner and I on our arrival and departure days in Arusha. He was also very prompt when answering the many questions I had prior to our trip. On our arrival, he made sure we were well catered for at our lodge and even took us to an amazing African restaurant, where we felt immersed in the Tanzanian culture, far away from the many tourists in Arusha.
Godefrey (driver) and Moses (cook) formed a fantastic team and were eager to make our safari a memorable experience. And it was definitely memorable. We saw all the big 5! Yes, there’s a bit of luck involved but on a couple of occasions Godefrey spotted animals from miles away and drove us to them. The most amazing example was when he spotted a Rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater (only 15 left in the entire park!) on our last day. You definitely needed sharp eyes to see it. We also saw plenty of zebras, gazelles, elephants, giraffes, lions, lionesses, cubs etc. and had quite a few sightings of leopards and cheetahs. Moses was a fantastic cook, making much needed warm soup when the weather was getting chilly in the evening and the most delicious one was his cucumber soup. His pancakes were also really delicious. Both Moses and Godefrey chose a great campsite in the Seronera area of the Serengeti. It was very quiet, laid back and there was a burrow of Banded Mongoose nearby, which meant that we had the most incredible sighting of a pack of 20 leaving it together in the morning. It was wonderful to witness wildlife this close-up as soon as waking up. We definitely had great fun during our five days with them, felt safe and even learnt a few words of Swahili.
I hardly recommend Aardvark expeditions, especially if you want to get a true feel for the parks. We chose to do 5 days, including 2.5 in the Serengeti and I highly recommend this circuit too. 5 days is perfect to take the time to see the animals. Doing just 3 parks and staying at least 2 days in the Serengeti is best as we never felt like we were rushing from one park to the next.

Great customer care
I am expat resident in Arusha and havent been on safari for the time i am in Tanzania,Decided to visit the national parks in the region and booked last minute safari with Shadows of Africa. The customer care and fast response i got was a big surprise knowing how slow can things get here. Went for a 3 days safari and visited Manyara,Tarangire and Ngorongoro. I had an awesome experience,the driver was very kind and knew everything about the wildlife, took very good care for the group and made our safari very comfortable. I would like to recommend this agency and great customer care.

Such a fantastic itinerary
Thanks so much for the wonderful itinerary. We visited Botswana and South Africa. I just loved the Table Bay Hotel and Shinde in the Delta was fantastic. Your expertise was amazing and made our trip memorable.
