Amazing game drives, great guide - 19 days of wonderful
Planning our trip with Alex Friere by email and skype was part of the fun. He created a 19-day African holiday that fit us perfectly - our interests, time and $$. We were taken care of from pick up at the airport in Johannesburg to Kasane and Chobe National Park in Botswana, through to Victoria Falls and then to Durban and up to Kwalazulu Natal reserves, and finally to our drop off at the airport for our flight home. We enjoyed wonderful game drives (by boat and truck) from Garden Lodge in Kasane and staff there were great-wonderful hospitality. Accommodations in the Drakensburg, Durban, St. Lucia, Kosi Bay and Tembe were all different and all lovely - always good food, with kind and hospitable staff. We hiked in the Drakensburg. We snorkelled - saw wonderful colourful fish. Canoed African style. Enjoyed lots of bird watching and always saw game. We did see the big five - leopard sighting was lucky! And so much more - the wildlife watching was truly amazing. Alex was a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide and very supportive of us as amateur photographers. His travel plans and arrangements were flawless and gave us options along the way, with time to explore, chill, even shop. We did not know that we could have a private, made-for-us safari and we are so glad to have found Unique-Safari.

Fantastic!
My husband had been on safari before with Wildlife Safaris and was so impressed that he would only travel with them again. The trip to Kruger Park far exceeded my expectations, it was just amazing. All the travel arrangements were made for our Private safari with Christine who arranged our itinerary. Nothing was two much for Christine she answered all our questions and put together the perfect holiday. Everything was well planned and arranged. We even had to work our holiday around Hoppy the guide my husband had had previously! No Hoppy, no holiday!
Hoppy is wonderful,so knowledgable about all wildlife and could spot an animal anywhere. He's also funny two lots of stories to tell. We saw the Big 5 before breakfast on the first morning we arrived.
A big, big thank you Hoppy for an amazing time. A holiday I'll never forget....

The best!
We've had an amazing experience with Visit Arusha! We've had classic jeep safari, walking safari with bushmen and holidays on Zanzibar. Their staff was very helpful and quick to respond. Guides were very knowledgeable and friendly! We've had really great time with our guide and in the end of our safari we received a very nice surprise!! Highly recommended!

Great safari, very knowledgeable guide/driver and the kids loved it
Organizing the trip was very easy and answers came back very quickly. A small hiccup was tented camp vs. lodge but in the end I could accept that. The driver/guide was more than excellent, safe driver and knew the answer to almost every question we threw at him, Stephen was just great.
We had 3 kids 18, 11 and 7 which limited the number of days we could thought we could spend so we decided for the 4 day safari which actually could have been 5 days with an extra day in Masai Mara.
I would for sure recommend KETS to any of my friends but make sure all lodging alternatives are clearly sorted out to avoid surprises.

Amazing Memories Created With Professionals Who Love Kruger Park
If you are going to Kruger Park you will be in good hands with Kruger Flexi Tours. From my first inquiry to Dave about his services and prices to the last heartfelt hug good-bye our experience was superb. Dave took care of every request efficiently with little fanfare and it was so nice to have just one person to deal with all our needs for our weeks stay in the area. Ted picked us up at the airport, waited patiently while we grocery shopped and helped us into our condo with every last bag. He is a local native, loves the flora, fauna and animals of the area, is excited to share the wealth of information he has stored in his head you cant help but love him. He was the perfect and guide and companion to take us on the Panorama Tour, to the Lowveld Botanical Garden and the Festival Dinner at Shangana Village. British Dave was our guide in the park and we couldn't have had better, by 11:00 am each day he showed us the big 5. He also loves what he does and we value all the information he shared with us concerning the many animals we saw. It is a trip of a lifetime and very important to choose the professionals who will give you the best experience possible. I believe that company is Kruger Flexi Tours

Beyond our wildest dreams!
This was our very first trip to Africa and though I have been looking at various tour companies and options for the last few years I decided to narrow it down to one Company that can incorporate a Gorilla trekking to our trip. There are a lot out there but I am happy to have picked Go2Africa.com. Our trip went very smoothly, with no glitch at all. The owner of Africa Beyond Borders even paid us a personal visit at our lodge in Entebbe and gave us some tips - it was a nice touch! We worked with Emma Harrop who did an outstanding job. The only thing I would have changed is extend our game drives another day or 2 because it was just so fabulous!

Very memorable experience!
I traveled to Tanzania with three friends in July 2014 with the assistance of E-Trip. Ben and his team planned our entire 15 day trip, which included a 7 day trek on Mt. Kilimanjaro, 2 day Safari, and 3 days in Zanzibar. E-Trip was incredibly accommodating to our needs and answered all of our questions prior to and during our trip, which even included a pre-trip Sykpe session. Ben and his team were very knowledgeable about the country, culture, and travel options for us. We felt very prepared (even with the help of a detailed packing list) and were able to accomplish everything we hoped to in Tanzania. All of us made it to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and we felt safe and taken care of during the entire trip by our guides and trekking team. E-trip provided us with a detailed itinerary outlining our schedule and travel plans for each day we were in Africa. We also appreciated the personalized attention that we received from Ben and his team, as we met with Ben at three different occasions to discuss our climb and next steps in our itinerary. I can speak for myself and our entire group that we would HIGHLY recommend E-Trip to anyone who is planning on or even considering traveling to Africa. We all had incredibly memorable experiences and enjoyed every moment of our trip.

Safari Source: a friendly, knowledgeable and reliable source
I first contacted Monika Korn in 2010 when she worked for another company.
it was my first trip to Zimbabwe and Africa. Not knowing anything about
safaris I left it up to her to do all the bookings. She put me up with Stretch
Ferreira at Goliath and African Bush Camps at Kanga and I haven't looked
back since. I had such a wonderful time, made real friends (we still get
together on safari) that I have hust wound up my 10th safati in 4 years. Whether
it's putting together a wildlife safari or a cultural tour in Southern Africa
Monika knows the most knowledgeable and interesting people to book you
with. At Matopos and Bulawayo we got Ian Harmer and Rob Burrett, both native
grown raconteurs steeped in th wildlife and history of the area.
Monika made sure we departed and arrived safely any time she was involved
in the booking of our transfers. When our bus from Bulawayo to Harare was delayed she waited till we got on to ensure we left safely. And since the bus was to arrive in Harare
late at night she called ahead to make sure we were greeted on arrival and that a hot meal
was ready as she figured we'd be hungry after a 6 hour bus trip and restaurants would be
closed. For southern Africa The Safari Source is a company you can trust to get things done right.
