6 day safari from Maun to Kisane
Our guides, Stanza and Charles were the best. Knowledgeable, fun, kind, organized, prompt, helpful, can't say enough! They know the region, the animals and their behavior patterns, the birds, and plants like the experts they are having lived in the area their whole lives. We had a group of 10 people and they picked us up at the airport in Maun and we stayed in 3 different bush locations for two nights each ending the tour in Kisane. The trip included great food provided at the local lodge, or from great chef's at the camping location. The guides gave us recommendations for free time options and local places to purchase handmade crafts. The pace on the safaris was great at we drove a lot, but stopped in scenic locations for lunch or tea depending on the day.
I would travel with these guides and company again.

The wildlife was just so magnificent. I have not seen such wild animals anywhere upclose in the world! Its just an experience everyone should wish to have with nature. The weather was just perfect for the short duration i was there. I enjoyed the accomodations and loved loved the food. It was a new experience for me and i loved the tour guide.

Life changing trip with an incredible company
I cannot recommend Early Kingfisher Safari enough! Sam and the crew were incredible. We saw more animals than we had imagined we could. Sam is full of every piece of information you could ever want about even the animals you didn't realise were so interesting!

Mr. Dicky Chikoza Mwero is an excellent and experienced safari guide finding the best wildlife spots
The operator Mr. Chikoza selected the best places to see many different wildlife animals. With his experience he gave us very interesting information about the spotted animals. We saw so many different animals so that our expectations were exceeded. He took us to beautiful and luxury lodges for the overnight stay during the safari with very tasty food. Through Tsavo East, West and Amboseli we could also learn a lot about the culture and people living around this area. The safari was an fantastic adventure with a lot of memories. The service of the safari and the communication was magnificent. We will definitely plan our next safari with KT & Safaris and Mr. Chikoza. Thank you for this great experience !!!

Custom trip that included so many beautiful experiences in Rwanda
Now we are back in Belgium. We talk and we still think often to the many, great memories during our journey through Rwanda.
It was our first trip in Africa. Rwanda has a very green varied landscape. Previously we thought that there is not as much to be seen in Rwanda. But our young and dynamic guide, Obed, has made a very varied program to get to know better his country. Our days are well filled!
Rwanda has much more to offer than his gorillas. The trip brought us to historical places, museums. We have done a chimpanzee trekking, a canoy-walking, a game drive, a boat trip on the Kivu-lake, a local shop, … We visit a local village community, a hot water source, the border with Goma-Congo, etc. ...
During the tour, in the morning we take the car, and Obed plant our day with activities, lunch/dinner, until our next overnight. We were able to change the timetable in consultation and to adjust or replace activities. Obed was very flexible and helpful. He gives us a lot of information about Rwanda, its history and about the planned activities.
Booking the trip directly with a Rwandeze tour operator was certainly excellent and a amazing experience.
Thanks Emmauel, our driver, to bring us every day safely to our destinations.
Thank you Obed, our guide, for the beautiful tour. Thank you for taking such good care of us from the moment of arrival in Kigali to our departure. Good luck with your tour company.

Amazing and Friendliest Tour Guide. Highly Recommended!
Shoes was not only a tour guide but was a friend to us by the end of our trip. We did not have a car during our trip to Hoedspruit and had depended on your operators to get us around. We tried others but Shoes we felt was the best. He was patient and never watched the time. And always ensured he gave us all the details and information he could. I highly recommend him to those who are unsure of who to hire. Best of all his prices were better than the others.

“An outstanding 8 days safari with Antony and Tazama Africa Holidays “
After months of research, I finally decided to book a safari with Tazama Africa Holidays for our "Bucket List" trip. From the start our communication with Antony was easy and pleasant, he really worked hard to get us the trip we wanted, he is thoughtful and paid close attention to what our needs were. He revised the itinerary a few times with our input, until it was precisely what we wanted, and within our budget. I felt very comfortable using Tazama Africa Holidays which is important when you are spending a good amount of money for a 8days safari.Trying to plan something from a distance, with a stranger in another country is intimidating, but working with Antony was like working with a friend, which truly put us at ease.
A little bit of surprise came in when we met Antony and said he will be the safari guide for the whole safari.
The safari itself fantastic as we are still smiling, downloading movies and more than 3000 photos. It was unbelievable, one cannot imagine the things we saw.We came across 2 large male lion brothers when departing back to Nairobi and We followed them for an hour, chuffing and roaring as they communicated. The behavior was extremely interesting, and we were so close to them, that my heart started pounding (and I'm not easily frightened) about a 20-25 foot distance.
All of our days were filled with really interesting encounters, a giant African rock python, African hunting dogs (very rare) and a female elephant so close that Antony didn't turn the vehicle off since she was charging.We kind of snuck up on her eating in Tsavo West. We saw so much; Lions, hippos, zebras,giraffes ,elephant,leopards ,cheetahs,buffaloes,crocodiles,hyenas,ostriches,warthogs, rhinos and much more.
The safari was absolutely unforgettable thanks to Antony our driver. He is very knowledgeable, smart, knows his animals and their territories, he was also very accommodating to us and was flexible on his timing. We were in good hands with Antony, we felt safe, comfortable and most of all we had the time of our lives, really an incredible trip. He knew where to locate and spot the animals, as well as an expert on the wildlife itself, especially the birds, so many huge birds in the reserves and Antony knew what all of them were - impressive knowledge.
Note that having traveled to so many African countries,I rank Antony as one of the most experienced safari guides in Africa.
His knowledge left me in suspense because I didn’t believe such a young person can have such knowledge.
Do not hesitate booking with Tazama Africa Holidays if you are searching for a tour company. I am a skeptic at heart, and always will be. I do not ever trust blindly without extensive research, but at some point you need to book a safari with someone, right? My instinct told me Antony is a trustworthy man after emails back and forth with him, and I am happy to report my instincts paid off. Great trip, great animal sightings, and especially a great company to put my trust in, I would use Tazama Africa Holidays again in the near future .
Asante Sana Tazama Africa holidays and more so Antony , hope to meet again in the future.
