The Best One
Truly AMAZING Company. We spend time with our driver/guide Solomon aka "animal whisperer"(just ask him for any animal and if you're lucky enough he'll find it in couple of minutes) they're were awesome, answered all our questions, gave us the best safari experience we could wish for. PURELY INCREDIBLE. DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND this company if you're looking for amazing, authentic experience and wishing to have an unforgettable safari and long lasting memories!
Once again we would like to thank Mr. le and of course the best driver and guide Solomon, for taking care of us throughout our Safari , and giving us such an INCREDIBLE experience and more. We could not be happier!

The best.
Many animals were seen. The rice was delicious and comfortable to sleep. Showers can be hot or cold. If you can speak a little English, it will be nice. I think it's a pretty good tour company.

our dream became true
Africa is always a place we dreamed of. Sino Africa Safari was introduced by a good friend. Our safari went perfect and we really appreciate. We saw lion king more than 5 times, cheatah 2 times, and leopard once. We did not see rhino. We love our driver, I forgot his name. Our driver guide was professional not just in driving skills but also knowledge. Fairmont hotels were luxury, food was great! Intineraty was tailor made. Our dream became true and we will visit again africa!

Robert was responsive and staff friendly but............. NOT an overall great experience - Sadly
Robert was very responsive. In fact, I contacted a few companies and thought that I was working with Robert for a couple of weeks to find out that it was another company. A couple of days before I thought I was going on Safari, I found out from the other company that it wasn't Karibu and didn't think I would have a chance to go on a safari last minute. I called Robert and he said he needed to call me back to see if it was still possible. I was then confirmed for a 7 day safari that was to start in Masai Mara and then go to Amboseli as the last park. He also said that I could pay in Shillings since I did not have USD. (I was on a working visa and had been in the country for 3 months, so only had Shillings)
I was greeted a few days later by a driver who was picking me and taking me to the office to start my safari. I didn't think any of it. Got to the office and signed my paperwork and paid. Was brought downstairs and put in the same low rider vehicle that the driver picked me up in. I just thought the driver was taking me to the place were the Open top Vans or jeeps were going to be. After the driver started to drive out of town, I questioned him on the vehicle and he said no that it was just me and him and in the car. He then said, instead of going to Masai Mara, we were going to go to Amboseli first and go backward because the car can't be driven in Masai Mara. I told him that I was not happy and didn't think this was going to work. He said that even with a car, It wouldn't be an issue getting great pictures in Amboseli. After trying to contact the office and not getting through, I felt I had no choice and agreed. SADLY, not true.
Don't get me wrong, the driver was a GREAT guy...... and due to CoronoVirus and the country shutting the borders and airports down, I had to leave after the first full day. Karibu did give me a partial refund (only for 4 days of park fees - about 200) but I was hoping for more due to the fact that I was in a car that was so low, the undercarriage of the car came off and we couldn't go that far into the park because it would flood out or scrap. Plus trying to take pictures so low in this car with tinted windows was a nightmare. I only got one day and it really didn't give me the happy experience I was looking for. When I got home aside from the photos on the hilltop from lunch, they were not great!!!! Not from my cell phone or borrowed camera.
I took pictures of the car but it doesn't allow me to add them onto this review sadly. You will see what a disaster of a car it was for a safari.
Like I said Robert was nice and replied back quickly and Raymond the driver in the car was nice and felt bad. The staff at the tented camp was great too.....
If it wasn't for the LOW RIDER CAR, and the fact that they didn't refund me in full the money for the other 5 days, I think this company might have been fine which is the reason why I gave them 2 stars. I feel bad for rating so low but it just wasn't practical putting someone so low in a car with dirty tinted windows for a safari after they confirm via email that the vehicle was an open-top Van. I honestly would have rather not even gone and saved myself a lot of money.

Knowlegible Professional caring Company
We were introduced to Namibia Nature Travel through a friend, best days work we ever did. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Windhoek until we returned 16 days later after a round trip that made a holiday for us that we will never forget . Our tour package was handed to us at the airport which contained everything we needed, our itinerary , phone numbers of every lodge, contact numbers , maps etc. which were all invaluable.
Namibia is a stunning country, the scenery people, hospitality, lodges, tour guides all second to none, can't wait to go back.

Incredible Kilimanjaro trekking and safari
We had an amazing Kilimanjaro trekking experience with Snow Africa Adventures at the beginning of the year. The booking process with Florent was easy and smooth, always giving timely comprehensive responses and secure payments.
Julius our main mountain guide from Snow Africa Adventures picked us up from the airport to our hotel and returned later in the evening for a detailed briefing about the 7 days Machame climb and inspect our equipment.
Julius is an incredibly experienced guide and knew everything about Kilimanjaro, leading the crew of 12 porters and Mzuzu our expedition chef with Hussein his assistant.
This journey pushed us to discover our strengths and frailities when we had to rely on the expertise of our crew. They kept us safe at all times, there were daily health checks just to make sure we were in good health. The food was plentiful and surprisingly excellent. We are lucky to have agreed to go with a mobile toilet because I was shocked by the filth of the public facilities
Honestly these guys are the real and we would not have made it to the summit without them. I have nothing but great admiration and gratitude for their professionalism and hard work.
We also had 3 amazing days of safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater after the trek with safari guide Lorry. We were treated to thrilling game drives filled with wildlife encounters and relaxed overnights in excellent lodges.
I fully recommend Snow Africa Adventures as an excellent choice for Kilimanjaro trekking and safari expeditions

Camping with a historical twist
I always wanted to return to my birth place in Iringa Tanzania and this happened last summer with my dear wife of 27 years. Wild gaze Safaris organized our three day visit to Ruaha Park which also included a visit to Mgola Farm in Iringa where I grew up.
The whole experience was well planned and executed perfectly by guide Nolasco.
My wife was seeing lions, zebras, hyenas, elephants, buffalo herds in their natural habitat for the first time while bringing nostalgic memories of my formative years.
I can only say thank you to Wild Gaze for organizing a very special trip

We are still in remembrance of the great safari.
Ernest- owner Wild Gaze adventures, our host in Tanzania and also our guide in Tanzania was amazing all through from the time he picked us at the airport to our last goodbyes. He was exceptional in showing round his bountifully endowed country in flora and fauna. He taught us so much about wildlife conservation and habits of elephants, wildebeest, lions, cheetahs, baboons, warthogs, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes and different birds species that we saw. Ngorongoro was abslotely breathtaking from the view point and spectacular when we descended to the floor.
We loved the accommodations, they were perfect for us and our teenage boys.
We are still in remembrance of the great safari.

Marvelous Trip with my boys
My two teenage sons and I spent 6 days touring Tanzania, from Moshi, Arusha, Manyara, Serergeti and lastly Ngorongoro Crater with Chiba our guide. We are lucky that Florent did a marvelous job planning our trip so that we did not miss any activity or reservation. Chiba turned out to be very knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects ranging from wildlife, culture, history and general world outlook. He did more than enough to give us the best experiences of Tanzania.
The selected lodges were well appointed and perfectly located for safari.
This was a rewarding trip and I cannot say enough good things about my Tanzania experience with Snow Africa Adventures. I would use them again with no hesitation!
