The Big Five--And Much More!
I had booked my photo safari in 2019 for the following year but the COVID-19 pandemic pushed my plans back and back and back. My wife was killed in January 2023 and I was going to cancel my trip--Go Touchdown was very understanding. But friends told me to go ahead and take the trip in my wife's memory. I had lots of questions and apprehensions about the trip and the Go Touchdown folks (mainly Lucia) patiently addressed all of them.
The trip itself was wonderful. I wanted to take photos of the African animals and was not disappointed. Of course, I had a focus on the “Big Five” and I was able to get outstanding photos of all of them. Even though it was not "bird season" there was sufficient quantities and variety of birds to photograph. The free-roaming animals were almost close enough to touch from the safety of our jeeps. The guides were phenomenal--very knowledgeable without being "academic." I thought I knew a lot about animals before the trip but I learned so much more on the safari. (Do you know that hyena poop is white because of their diet of bones?) Accommodations were very good everywhere we went and the food was fantastic.
Our small group (9 guests plus drivers/guides in 2 vans) was perfect--great personalities, interesting people, funny, friendly. One couple had visited Chobe National Park before the start of our trip and recommended it highly because of the large variety and numbers of animals. Thanks to the flexibility and responsiveness of the Go Touchdown team I was able to change my tour to include Chobe and still go to Victoria Falls. Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased with the Go Touchdown Safari experience.

Amazing adventure
It was one of the best experiences of my life. Everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was experienced and the chef cooked delicious meals for us everyday. The views are breathtaking, the air quality is amazing and the sounds of nature are unmatched. I highly recommend this activity.

Excellent organization , perfect choice of lodges in the three destination . Very friendly guide and eager to please his guests in short we spend a wonderful 4 days Safari

Competitively priced and well organized, able to do last minute arrangements
I decided last minute (1 week in advance) to do a 7 day safari. Tall Masai responded quickly to my request and adapted their offering in a flexible way to my needs. The driver/guide Eric did an excellent job and helped us whenever required. He was very knowledgeable (himself being a Maasai). I would recommend them anytime.
I did this tour a second time and always advise for a private tour options.

For budget tour very good
I booked 6 days safari Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Very good value for money it was.
The amount of animals, I see was fantastic. I am so satisfyad eith it.
The transport is by minivan. For me it was good enough. Our game driver was exceptional. He drowe us so smoothly on pumpy roads.
The accomodation was not much, but good enough for budget tour. Font forget the main reason you come to safari tour: seeing beautiful animals. In Amboseli tve accomodation was super good: new and clean facilities with everything working wery well.
About food: there was lots of food. Moustly wery tasty as well. But in Nakuru hotel there was something fishy. 3 of our group got food poisoning.
All together: if you must go with budgetfriendly safari option, then Tall Masai Safari is very good choice. The price is very good and you will enjoy yor safari. They even got me afterwards to my hotel, that was not in city center. As a solo female traveller I felt myselt completely safe. It is very important if you travel alone.
In conclusion: safari is for seeing nature and animals. I got it all. If you want some luxoury accomodation, then you must pay more and thats it. For me was budget safary only option to go to safari at all. So I am very greatful for this opportunity❤️

Amazing tour in February with Bonnie
I've had a very good time on this 6 day safari and managed to see a lot of animals. Bonnie was a phenomenal driver and guide who knew the parks very well and made sure we wouldn't leave disappointed. The weather was splendid and we learned a lot about the country throughout the day. Would definitely do it again. Little tip for European travellers, remember to pay the total amount in dollars.
