Extraordinary experience
In approaching a vist to the Okavango, choosing the right operator can seem overwhelming. From my first attempt to make contact, Sam was very responsive. No matter how much background reading you do, nothing can prepare you for the reality of the bush. As others have indicated, Sam and his team at Early KingFisher do everything possible to make guests comfortable. We were one of two USA-based couples on our mid August trip and with each drive, we'd say 'the bar just got higher'. And with every subsequent drive, the bar did get higher. Thanks to Sam's finely honed tracking skills, we witnessed lions mating, lion cubs suckling, lionesses ripping apart a Cape buffalo carcass, a lone leopard and hyenas feeding on an elephant leg. This is not a zoo and each drive takes time. Yet these moments will remain with us forever.
The support team includes a driver, a cook, a housekeeper and a generalist. Each one is devoted to his job and committed to offering excellent service. Those chilled gin and tonics at the end of the day always hit the spot as did the fresh bread and boiled eggs each morning, bobotie and cottage pie.
Sleeping in a tent, showering outdoors, even using the pit toilet begin to seem normal. It is a shock coming back to four walls and wifi.
I am so glad we selected Sam and Early KingFisher.

amazing customer service, fully prepared for everything and unbeatable attention to detail
We just returned from a 12 day safari with African Big Cat Safari tour group. They offer a full service all-inclusive package that far exceeded all my expectations. I found them to have amazing customer service, fully prepared for everything and unbeatable attention to detail. Our guide Obeti picked us up the first day and stayed with us the entire trip. He was incredibility knowledgeable about the animals, history, landscapes. The people at the camps are so friendly and eager to share their culture making us feel at home and safe. The tour included fabulous meals, and we even tried local beers and wines.
We saw the big 5 and much much more. We enjoyed meeting the local tribes and learning about their cultures. Everything about this trip was absolutely amazing. If you are considering a safari I would book this trip and ask for Obeti, you will not be disappointed. It is a trip of a lifetime. Be prepared to see the most amazing things, have a lot of laughs and be treated like royalty.

There is none better!!!
Where do I begin! It was my wife and I’s dream honeymoon brought to life by Bobby tours. From the moment I contacted them I knew we made the right call. Ali made the process swift and easy, we painted a picture of what we’d like and he pieced it together life a symphony. The best thing is their willingness to accommodate your every wish. They go above and beyond to ensure your trip is picture perfect. Till this day we reminisce about the wonders on the safari, the beautiful resorts and adventures we shared. Not once did we feel they were burdened by all of our questions, in fact they appreciated our curiosity and we’re happy to give us every bit of information they could. If I could give 20/5 stars I would. If you’re contemplating visiting Tanzania soon you’d do yourself a disservice by not going with Bobby tours every time!!!

Absolutely amazing
We did a 5 day Queen Elizabeth Wildlife and Trekking tour and it was the best experience ever. Our tour guide team provided us with the best treatment ever: flexible, understanding, knowledgeable and friendly, which meant alot to me and my family.
In the near future we will definitely come back and try the nile adventure.
Otherwise, Thank you nyanja safari for making our tour incredible.

I highly recommend traveling with this company for an excellent, well-rounded experience.
After our Kilimanjaro trek, we embarked on a safari with Sandpiper Safaris, and it was a wonderful experience. The company’s manager and owner, Abouh, is truly exceptional—always available, attentive, and offering valuable advice throughout the trip. Our guide, Simba, was also great. Though he wasn’t very talkative, whenever we asked him about the animals, he shared a wealth of knowledge and fascinating facts. We had two different cooks during the safari, and both were highly skilled, preparing delicious meals. I highly recommend traveling with this company for an excellent, well-rounded experience.

Amazing Adventure with Wild Secret Halal Safari!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable safari with Wild Secret Safaris, and we highly recommend them! From start to finish, their service was exceptional.
Mussa, who managed our logistics, was very helpful. He meticulously handled every detail of our itinerary and made sure all our needs were met, including our dietary requirements. His communication was clear and timely, and we were genuinely impressed when our lodgings were already aware of my food allergies, thanks to his thorough preparations.
Our safari guide, Idrees, was wonderful. His extensive knowledge and passion for the Serengeti and its wildlife enhanced our experience tremendously. He took the time to ask about our favorite animals and went above and beyond to ensure we had the opportunity to see them. He was very aware of the animals' patterns and was able to navigate to places where we had the best views. Idrees was very kind and also shared so many fun facts about the animals and the regions we visited. Additionally, he was mindful of prayer/Salaah times, and always ensured that we were able to complete our prayers.
Overall, Wild Secret Safaris delivered an incredibly well-organized safari adventure. I am very glad that we went with this locally owned tour group and would highly recommend them (especially for Muslim couples/families).

Why Once in a Lifetime?
I went on a 10-night, 11-day trip to Tanzania in November 2023. I was able to enjoy both the safari and the resort on Zanzibar
Island.
I requested the places I wanted to go and they arranged the itinerary for me. My driver had great eyesight, and my guide was great at explaining things, so I was able to see a lot of animals.
If you tell this travel agency your requests, such as destination, hotel grade, activities, etc., I'm sure they will be able to meet your needs.
Once in a lifetime is too good. I definitely wanted to come back again.

Very knowledgeable and professional
I travelled with my family of 8 in the month of August. It was the best trip I’ve had till date thanks to Wildebeest Safaris, especially our contact person “Noah”, who was extremely helpful, available for contact for all queries at all times. Our guides/drivers James and Jeff, were very well versed in the game drive and were very polite.
Ours is a vegetarian Indian family, and our dietary needs were very well planned and communicated. I would totally recommend wildebeest safaris for making our trip a dream trip, if I have ever come back will definitely be contacting them.

An Unforgettable Safari Trip with Meru Slopes
We (a group of six from the US) just returned from an incredible trip to Tanzania organized by Meru Slopes & Safari. The highlight of the trip was a 7-day safari with our tour driver/guide, Salehe. He was an experienced, knowledgeable, calm, patient, and friendly guide. We witnessed wildebeests crossing the Mara River, large groups of elephants walking around our safari truck, lions feeding their cubs and fighting each other, cheetahs passing right by us, and countless other unforgettable moments. The tents/lodges and food were of high quality and very clean.
We also had a great time with our city and local culture tour guide, Herman. His patience paid off, allowing us to see the top of Mount Kilimanjaro from a distance after it had been hiding in the clouds for a long time.
We would also like to thank our tour organizer, Almanchui. He always responded promptly to our questions, even late at night, and tailored the entire tour plan to meet our needs and expectations.
We will definitely recommend Meru Slopes & Safari to our friends and relatives.
