Hi , I just finished my trip with Native Afrika voyages on sep 2nd week and unfortunately it was not great . Even though our driver cum tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, the office team messed up our itinerary. We had two day game drive in masaimara, which they cut short into 1 day without our knowledge.
My husband and I, submitted our initial inquiry to Native Afrika voyages(NAV) via safaribookings. After our enquiry , we were communicated via email by the NAV team . After multiple round of email conversation, we received the final itinerary as pdf and we paid around 25% to book the trip with the confirmed itinerary. On the day of travel, we were picked up from our hotel ( 30 minutes late) and the NAV travel consultant tried to brief the itinerary while we were enroute to National park. Unfortunately we didn't check our itinerary against the day to day briefing by consultant. Little did we know that they changed our 2 day game drive in masai mara to one day . Please note that one day entrance fees to masai mara national park is 200 dollars per person . We were two and they didn't even inform us via email about this change in itinerary for which we had already paid. Who changes the already confirmed and upfront paid itinerary on the day of trip ? When I asked about the 2 day masai mara visit , I was asked to pay extra 400 dollars for entrance fees. I tried to address my concern, but somehow they didn't want to talk to WOMAN , instead he wanted to talk to my husband to get his opinion. Whatever excuses they are going to provide as a response, please think before making a decision. If you have already paid, please validate the itinerary once again before paying the remaining amount. I didn't get my 400 dollars back. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Hence a lengthy post.
I was told on the last day of the trip that they will look into this issue and get back with a solution . I didn't receive any response so far.

Wonderful journey with excellent guide Joel!
I booked the 3 days tour to Murchision Falls National Park. It was definitely a breathtaking journey. Joel was not only a professional guide but treat me as a friend. I really had a great time in Uganda. The safaris was amazing and top of Murchision falls was breathtaking. Boat cruise was definitely a must in Uganda. I saw a lot of wild animals. Thanks to Kubwa Five Safaris for arranging such an amazing tour!

Amazing experience
The Kimgoni Tanzania Safaris agency allowed us to spend 7 unforgettable days in partnership with Caroline, from Tanzibartravel. We would like to highlight the professionalism and kindness of our guide Thabéti and our cook Canaéli. This adventure would not have been the same without them. Two dedicated people, who always want to do well and with whom we had great discussions about life. We were able to visit 3 parks, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw a lot of animals, including the BIG 5 thanks to Thabéti 🤗. We also discovered 2 tribes, the Hadzabé and the Datoga, very authentic and moving moments of life. And, to finish, a day on Kilimanjaro to reach the first base camp of the Marangu route. A perfect and unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience
I can say that I had a wonderful experience with Informative African Tours for my very first safari. Our guide Balthazar, a Massai native, is a very good driver and knows very well the best routes to spot the animals. We were lucky enough the first day to meet 4 cheetahs, 3 cubs, 2 lions and a leopard all this in a 2 hours span. Also Balthazar is very respectful about the nature and the animals. I choose the 3 days safari option including Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and on site camping. Both camp sites are well equipped and even have hot showers (I wasn’t expecting that much luxury) !!! Food was also good and enough for each meals. Transportation was also very smooth (pickup in Arusha before safari and drop off at Kilimanjaro airport after safari). I can definitely recommend Informative African Tours if you’re looking for a reliable company to plan you safari.

Wonderful Mobile Safari perfectly organised
9 days Mobile Safari in Botswana. Excellent guide Pilot and great service from his Staff. Determined to find the most elusive animals which he did!! Most helpful assistance from Martin at Kingfisher Safaris who even booked a flight for us at short notice when ours was cancelled! Great experience, excellent value and wonderful service from booking to returning home. We will definitely travel with Kingfisher again!

Good value safari
The Kruger Safari with Panorama Drive was an enjoyable experience. The lodge was nice, and the cost of the trip was a good value for the experience.

Fantastic
From the absolute start we were treated exceptionally.
Our driver Abduhl was very prompt and couldn’t have been nicer
The flight over was amazing and once we arrived at the park the same treatment resumed
Our guide Kennedy and our driver Dula were an amazing duo! We managed to spot so many animals and Kennedy was on hand to give us information about them. His knowledge of the whole savanna was incredible. I’d give this tour 100 stars if I could.

Attention, do not book here!
We booked a 12-day safari through this provider and paid a deposit of USD 3,630. One week before the start of the trip, the tour was cancelled. We received an email about this yesterday. Since then, we have had no contact with the provider. We really hope that we will get our money back!
