Awesome Experience!!!
I had a great time at Murchinsonfalls!!! Especially our tourguide Lukwago Twaha (Klaus) had a great knowledge about the whole park, the animals and the enviroment! He answered all our questions about the animals and was really patient. Also he showed us all areas of the park and we had the luck to see some special animals like leopards. Also the whole safari was organized well! I would do it again! :)

Decent return for the price
Communicating with the operator was fairly easy while planning the tour. Overall quality and promptness of service from the operator was good. The actual tour corresponded with the plan. National parks were interesting places and absolutely worth seeing. Distances between parks, especially in Kenya, were long so that meant long hours of traveling. The quality of cars used in safari left quite a lot to desire, especially in Tanzania. For the most part the accommodation was satisfactory for a budget tour. Although in some places (Amboseli, Arusha) cleanliness of accommodation and service attitude of the staff were substandard.
Drivers/guides and chefs were top blokes and definitely worth a praise.

Everything turned out perfect
Thank you for all your help everything turned out perfect. Ebrahim was super I'd highly recommend him to anyone traveling in Cape Town. Ismail was also excellent . We met Robert More at The More Quarters one morning he was extremely nice thought he might be at Lion Sands when we were there but left us a special message because he left the day we arrived and a book signed by him his greatgrandfather wrote.The staff at More Quarters were so friendly we loved our room and the hotel itself. Mont Rochelle is probably the most beautiful place we have ever been.Loved Franschook, The vineyards and wineries were magnificent. Could have spent more time there. The Lion Sands River Lodge was absolutely beautiful the staff was great and we had the best ranger in Neil and tracker Albert. Made friends with two couples we did our safaris with. Trip of a lifetime all we can do is pray we can go back some day. If we know anyone who is interested we will definetly refer you. Thank you again.

Walter at Safarionline made our African experience into a perfect tailor-made safari adventure!
Walter Kohrs at Safarionline in Capetown created the perfect African adventure for us safari novices from New Zealand. We are by no means inexperienced travellers but, as we were time poor and had never been to Africa, we needed a bit of help with the organisation. Through his prompt, efficient and friendly online service, Walter put together a programme that gave us everything we could have wished for. It was all done through email and online. Our itinerary was all on the Wetu app - so easy! When we arrived at the hotel in Capetown, there was a package from Walter waiting for us, complete with local simcards.
We had excellent and carefree service from truly wonderful people all the way - every flight, shuttle and connection from Johannesburg to Capetown, through Botswana, on to Vic Falls and back to Jo'burg again was taken care of, thanks to Walter.
In Botswana, Walter had organised for us to stay at three beautiful and comfortable Desert and Delta Safari camps - each offering their own individual and personal experience in terms of superb accommodation, excellent food and friendly, personable and service minded people. The African animal adventures - safari drives and boat trips - were extremely exciting as well as diverse. The experienced, fun and friendly local safari guides showed us a huge variety of African animals, from roaring lions and graceful giraffes in the semi desert to massive hippos and miniscule frogs in the delta. They were so professional: their knowledge of all animals and of flora and fauna was so impressive and we learnt so much from them! At all times were they respectful of the animals and the environment. On a couple of occasions, we opted to skip the daily siesta and do a couple of all day drives instead and this was fantastic! We got to see what animals get up to in the heat of the midday sun as well as when they are at their most active at dawn and dusk. We had an unforgettable picnic lunch surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of zebra who happily ignored us as they went about their daily business while we were enjoying a delicious lunch and a cold beer! Another highlight were the sundowners - the obligatory evening drinks you have while watching the African sun set like a bright red ball of fire on the horizon. One evening we had our sundowner by a waterhole whilst watching a family of 20 plus elephants of all ages, from huge adults to tiny babies, come down and enjoy their evening routine of drinking, swimming and playing in the water. We just sat there and watched them, pinching ourselves to make sure that we were not dreaming - and sipping our G & T's, of course!
So Walter, thank you for the adventure you organised for us at The Okavango Lodge, and at Savute and Moremi Camps. We couldn't have wished for better service!

An enjoyable child friendly experience
I was very skeptical about sleeping in a "tent" to my surprise, it was very luxurious kitted with all the modern amenities. The outdoor showers were awesome! The food was also prepared to the highest standard, though I wish they also could serve "venison" .

African Coast Travels is a Professional Travel Services provider with a personal touch
Joseph Mayo was very prompt in responding to queries and assistance in visa documents. I was upgraded into a Chalet from Camping and that was a pleasant surprise in Hwange park. The whole experience was wonderful and I would recommend them to all solo travellers too like me.

Mt. Kenya climbing adventure with Bison Safaris was best deal as tourist. Value of money at best.
Quick response to my inquiry compared to others, fascinated by their very competent online personnel with their elaborate and precise cost and diverse tourist destinations explanations, comfortable and perfect accommodation went beyond my expectation and very supportive tour driver and guide especially on my Mt. Kenya climbing was made easy by this team. Will always tour and travel with you Bison Safaris.
