6 days self drive and camping in Ngorongoro and Serengeti
We just came back from a 6 days self driving safaris trip and camping in the Ngorongoro and the Serengeti National park !
Gladiola have been simple perfect, from the booking, the car delivery, the Land-cruiser with roof tent that we hired as well as the follow up as we were driving in the parks. Lalashe was on call H24 for us, and ready to assist or answer our questions immediately !
This was simple above my personal expectations.
We are already thinking about our next trip in the region, and I already know that I will not look anywhere else for the rental.

Memories
Hello and thank you for this offer to give a review of my South Africa experience. For me, this was a trip of a life long desire, considering that I had been a part of the resistance of apartheid oppression, while attending university some 50 years ago. So I was happily blown away by the beauty of the country, the tours offered and my living accommodations, making allowances when necessary, as the tours mattered more than sleeping quarters. What has left an unforgettable impression and which I have retold excessively is the following incident. Five individuals (me included) arrived at XXX for the safari experience. The Five consisted of a White couple and 3 Black ladies. At dinner on the first night, the 3 Black ladies were seated at a table by themselves, while the other guests (all white and meeting for the first time ) were seated together. Not a good impression. This practice changed but only after the guests themselves (foreigners) reacted to the situation On leaving the safari, we were told that any gratuities should be given to the owner for distribution to staff.. Again this smacked of something distrustful to foreign eyes, I am happy with my memories and momentous of your beautiful country, but there is a nagging reminder that the arc of progress is slow.

Highly recommend!
I can highly recommend African Pangolin Safaris! We did a 3 Day trip to Mikumi and it was excellent experience. Booking process and communication was easy. We had a private safari with our driver Mike. Mike was great and funny guide and he made our trip more amazing, thank you! We saw many animals like Lions, leopards, elefants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, buffallos, monkeys, colourful birds etc. We had enough time to watch and photograph animals and Mike told things about animals and environment.
Mikumi was nice and there were only a few car in the whole park at same time, so it felt like we had the whole park to ourselves and we saw other cars only couple times. Trip was worth every penny and would definately book them again if I have a chance to go back Tanzania. Asante sana!

Amazing trip with tripcare adventure
I and 4 friends had an amazing 3 day safari to queen Elizabeth national park booked under trip care, Cathy was exceptional, fast and professional in responding to our queries, was booked accommodation at Baboon safari resort which also had excellent services. Guide Stanley was awesome always on time to take us where we wanted to be on time with vast knowledge about the park and animals. The trip was affordable and amazing there was value for our money.
Everything we could have hoped for and the travel company was amazing.
They were in touch with me from the time i made my booking until the end of the safari
I really enjoyed the personal tour guides during the game drives and boat Cruise. They made everything come to life for me and were well worth the money.
They did an amazing job selecting the hotel, the safari and providing great transportation.
The guides made sure i see the big 3 animals ( Lions, Elephants, Buffalo) of Queen Elizabeth.
What excited me most was seeing the King of the Jungle

We hired a jeep and guide for a day trip to Arusha National Park.
Good communication, very responsive and helpful owner, Didas. Reasonably priced and very happy with our guide Michael. So it was a successful day, saw everything we wanted including the Flamingoes. I thought the jeep was a little bit old, but it did the job well. Would consider a longer trip next time we come to Tanzania.

Pamoja Tours, truly no other way!!!
I spent 5 weeks in the beautiful country of Uganda. There is no way I could have had a better experience. Extremely knowledgeable of everything the country has to offer, and the company was even better. Very loving and dedicated to everything that Pamoja Tours says it has to offer. Honestly, didn’t just meet a tour guide but a lifelong friend, (Amos Kaggwa) thank you for doing what you do. God bless you always, and thank you for an unforgettable amazing experience. If you make it to Africa, you definitely need to experience it with Pamoja Tours!

An unforgettable fortnight in Botswana closer to nature than I have ever been
We were a family group of 6 adults. The whole holiday was planned with our requests and needs in mind. Every lodge that we stayed in was of a very high standard, but the highlight for me was the set up of the mobile safari camps. I loved everything about them from the exceptionally friendly staff who genuinely seemed to love what they were doing and got on very well together, the superb food cooked in what must be pretty challenging conditions, the very comfortable tents with real beds, hot water bottles and flushing toilets, the 'chill out tent' where we could relax and write up the day's doings or just watch the world go by, the night times round the log fires under the stars, to the exceptional way we were looked after by Rob during the day. From the hard boiled eggs and nibbles on the makeshift table on the front of our jeep after our early morning porridge to the sundowners which took account of all our individual tastes (mostly gin and tonic!) we relished every moment. Rob's knowledge and tracking skills were amazing and we saw so much, and learned a lot. We saw everything that we'd hoped for - lions (very close to our tent demolishing a warthog!) elephants wandering through the camp and on one occasion approaching near to us in the jeep - keep calm is the motto (!), innumerable birds which kept my bird loving sister in seventh heaven, and the variety of terrain from the Okavango to the Kalahari with fascinating glimpses in between from our little flights from runways often shared with zebra! We loved every minute and would go back like a shot, and would recommend anyone to travel with Golden Africa. You definitely won't be disappointed.
