Absolutely Excellent
My friends and I had an absolutely fantastic trip to Tanzania with Wild Gaze Safaris. Edwin proved good driver and even a better guide. He showed us the best of Tanzania at Tarangire National park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National park. The crater descent was the highlight of the whole trip seeing myriad animal specials including the rare back rhino, a first for me. I have no reservations in recommending WILD GAZE SAFARIS!

Best safari experience in Tanzania
I would like to write comment about our experience with Sino Africa Safari. The local company organized my trip to Tanzania in last year during the low season. The company was introduced by my father who went safari few years back. I wrote them an email and received their reply shortly. Then we exchanged over fifteen emails to discuss all of the terms of my dreamed safari. Vincent was our safari advisor and gave us lot of explanation and good advice. Communication was very smooth and comfortable.
From our arrival at Kilimanjaro to our departure, it was most happy experience in my life. All arrangements were supergood. Our landcruiser was new and neat everyday. Our guide Mike guided us to the animals and the best sightings before any other vehicles. Camps were luxury and food was great, everything just exceeded our expectation!
I love Tanzania and this is certainly an experience to never forget in my life!I would highly recommend the Sino Africa Safari to anyone planning a safari to Tanzania and Kenya!

Great 7 day Safari Tour in South Africa
My wife and I had a great week in South Africa with Go Touchdown Travel and Tours on their 7 Day Safari Tour staying at Dullstroom, Humala River Lodge and Seasons Sport and Spa. We saw animals in the wild on our multiple game drives, visited villages, went sightseeing, saw native shows, ate interesting and great food and generally relaxed all the while. We patted and fed an elephant at Elephant Whispers and nursed lion kittens at The Lion and Safari Park. Excellent coordination meant everything ran smoothly and we were well looked after at every point by human dynamo Bakkies and local guides. Even the “traffic jams” were enjoyable being caused by elephants and baboons. We highly recommend this tour.

Friendly and very safe driver.
Very good customer service and always asking guests if they need anything. They exceeded my expectations. Safari was good and driver took his time didn't rush anybody. I will definately use them on my next vacation and would refer anybody to go through this company.

Great experience and honest management!
It was a great experience for me, unlike any other tour destinations have made. It's the world of endless nature. What was hectic is endless travelling but that's what Africa is about. But then the game drives make every scene spectacular, especially when you come across the beautiful animals and their way of living in harmony... I remember very well about the meals and actually our food is was always prepared as healthy and natural, this because we took a package where we were provided a cooker… no frozen nor preservatives...Yes, I think it will always remain in my memories. Thank silver spark Africa , we are just preparing for a second great trip to Kenya and Uganda after covid19.

Kidnapped during tour, they did nothing but send me emails promoting the company
Kidnapped in UGANDA during my tour April 2nd 2019. This company brokered my tour to a more local tour company.
They don’t even manage the tours.
They did, however,
Contact the RSO of Ugandan Embassy no fewer than 25 times during my kidnapping and after my release but never once reached out to me personally to see how I was doing and to check on my emotional well-being after being held at gunpoint for six days taken from Queen Elizabeth national park into the DRC / Congo.
I paid this company close to $8,000usd
My insurance responded
Alaska Airlines responder
REI responded
Target responded
Natural World Safaris, who made the most from me...NOTHING
But they do continue to promote their tours through email to me. The kidnapped victim. There in sensitivity reigns supreme !
You can google, my kidnapping will come up to verify. These people did Nothing but open an office in Los Angeles, my backyard, so to speak.
There are a lot of tour companies that want your business. Do you want to roll the dice with this company that does nothing when things go wrong in a foreign country except for cover their behind, or at least try to. Nobody knew my fate but this company didn’t even care. Trauma is real
PTSD is real and the CEO sending out an email after my kidnapping asking me to rate my Experience is real.
So is “ institutional betrayal” A term I learned in therapy because of my kidnapping.
That’s Natural world safari, It took over a year to leave this review!

Our Expedition Leader was wonderful!
Everything was fabulous from start to finish. This was our first safari, but our group mates had all previously traveled in Africa with other companies. All reported that this trip was by far their best experience. I will not hesitate to book another Tanzania Exclusive Journeys trip, and I was recommending Tanzania Exclusive Journeys to friends even before we returned home. This was the most amazing, once-in-a-lifetime safari. Our guide's knowledge and ability to help us see and understand animal behavior was extraordinary.

awful
Do not use this travel agency. Go Touch Down and Deon Barnard have used the COVID-19 crises to defraud us of all monies we spent with them for a trip to South Africa. They essentially contend that because our trip, which was scheduled to begin on May 12, 2020, could NOT happen because of the COVID-19 lockdown in South Africa, they should keep all of the $24,513 we had paid to them in December 2019. When pressed as why we were not to receive a full refund, or at a minimum that amount less the Sales Agreement’s specified 20% cancellation fee, Barnard replied, “get a lawyer.” We will shortly be bringing a civil action against Go Touch Down, Barnard and all associated entities. FYI: we received a full refund from Delta Airlines for the airfare purchased for this trip.

Kilimanjaro with Snow Africa Adventures
We planned and organized our Kilimanjaro trek was very well with Florent who was patient, and very nice helping us with all the details, advice on the best route, travel requirements, packing list and always available to respond to our emails and WhatsApp messages.
It was a great start to our guide waiting when we arrived in Kilmanjaro after a long layover in Dubai and the punctuality and flawless planning continued through the entire trek.
We had a trouble free trek, filled with many special moments, but nothing beats the feeling of watching the early morning sunrise from Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.
If you are planning to do Kilimanjaro then contact Snow Africa Adventures

Amazing experience and most exiting safari.
The best game drives at Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Experienced tour guide, meals during our safari was the best. Totally recommend them.
Thanks Hekima Safaris.
