Can't Say Enough Great Things!!!
Words cannot describe the amazing adventure we had on our 7-day safari! Everything from the immediate response to my first email inquiry to the sad farewell we had to bid our incredible guide, and the months of customized planning and friendly conversation in between, went far beyond our every expectation. The entire staff is top notch! We dreamed for years of a private safari for two but never imagined it could become a reality. We chose the camping to better fit within our budget and couldn't imagine doing it any other way. It was a fantastic experience and worth every dollar. Our guide Emma made each and every day extra special and we enjoyed his personality immensely! We were also blown away by the quality of food. Pascali kept good care of us and my vegetarian needs. I think I must have gained 5kg with all of that great cooking! Look no further than It Started in Africa! They take the time to listen to your needs and offer suggestions you may never think to consider or ask about. Every question is answered and nothing goes undone. You can simply relax and enjoy the trip of a lifetime knowing they have every detail covered. Once it starts in Africa, you will not want it to end. Guaranteed to be nothing short of the most wonderful experience all around, and one you will never forget. We can't thank them enough!

Seamless
We all had an excellent time and wished we could have stayed much longer. There were no problems at all except for the children fighting over which beautiful bed to sleep in. I will not hesitate to recommend Cedarberg.
All the accommodation and activities exceeded our expectations. Would have liked to have spent more time at the various accommodations but we were too busy!!
We enjoyed our stay at Muchenje in Botswana the most. An extra couple of days here would have been blissful.
We had seamless holiday. Great advice and great service.

Trip of a life time!!
the fact that Regional Tours didn't have a trip adviser review gave us pause but after contacting other customers and hotels, I was reassured and I am glad sure that we went with Regional. All of the accommodations were amazing. Our guide who is a contractor was the best guy ever. Peter Mmbando, I am sure that if you request him that they could figure a way out to get him. This guy was so knowledgeable, curious of other safari trucks, and overly accommodating. You will witness some rude behavior by tourists and tour guides alike but Peter was the definition of class. I traveled with 5 wonderful ladies whom are all friends, by the end of our trip, Peter was family and there was not a dry eye among all any of them. the animals are amazing. Prior to the start of our trip we visited an orphanage and delivered some items. I would implore you to stop even if just for 5 minutes to show these children that you care. One of teh best experiences of my life and very humbling. There are a number of us that will be using Regional Tours again and will be seeing Peter again.

unforgettable trip
I went for my first ever safari to the Mara and it was really one of the best trips I've ever been on. The staff were very professional and informative and everything went as planned. The driver /guide ensured that we got to see the big 5 and even get close enough to take amazing photos and this was obviously very exciting for me and my family. The accommodation was top notch and the entire trip went smoothly from start to finish. It was truly an unforgettable experience and we owe it to First Choice for assisting in making it that way!

First time and overwhelming
As a couple of 2 we booked a 4-day Kruger Park tour. We were picked up at JNB Airport, transfered to a lodge nearby and the next day transferred to the lodge next to the Kruger Park entry. After noon we were picked up by Charles (CD Tours) and were driven by him through the Park the next three days (2 day exclusively, one day with two other couples from SA). We loved his experience, driving style, "Feeling" for the places where something was to see (he was always very well informed about sights of beasts by other tour Operators). On the last day the trasfer back to the Airport was well organised (whenever the driving style of this Driver was not comfortable).
The tours were not at all what we were offered (tours early in the morning, evening tours), however due to the nice and experienced treatment of Charles we were more than happy.

The tour is slow, the guide, shows everything, lots of interesting details.

Safari with David Maro - Kili Slope
Mr David Maro highly recommended on some forums as one of the best safari guides to Tanzania so we have decided to book with him our 10 days private safari tour. Now after completing our safari which was breathtaking we can say that the huge success of this trip was a lot to do with David professionalism, extensive knowledge, his great sense of humour and kind nature. David is a super nice person and a great driver. We recommend David without hesitation.

Superb experience
Very prompt and good service. The safari on the Governor's Camp was superb, accommodation and food was way above our expectation. The travel was smooth and on time. We recommend Vacay Holiday to everybody who would want to do a safari in Masai Mara area.

Stunning safari experience
Our safari in Ruaha National Park with Breakdown Safaris was just an extraordinary experience. First of all, Kathy and Fan are really great people - very warm and friendly, well organised. Kathy is a great driver, Fan's knowledge about animals, birds and nature in general is impressive! There's no question He wouldn't be able to answer, in our opinion. Everything was perfectly organised, from the very beginning to the very end of whole trip. We felt taken care of, safe and comfortable all the time. We saw a lot of wonderful and unexpected things in Ruaha not only because of some luck and circumstances, but also because everything was done for us and with respect to our needs. We had as much time as we needed for watching, taking pictures, resting etc. For sure Breakdown Safaris is the company, we can highly recommend to anyone who appreciate individual and friendly treatment, professionalism, well organised great experience of safari while everything that needs to be done is just to enjoy animals and nature and have a lot of fun. We are already sure that we'll be back for another stunning safari in Tanzania - of course with no one else then Breakdown Safaris. Kathy, Fan we thank you again for all you made for us, for the very best time we had with you during this short (unfortunately!) but fantastic trip!
Nasze safari w Parku Narodowym Ruaha z Breakdown Safaris było fantastycznym i niezwykłym doświadczeniem. Przede wszystkim prowadzący je Kathy i Fan są naprawdę wspaniałymi ludźmi - ciepłymi, przyjacielskimi, świetnie zorganizowanymi. Kathy jest doskonałym kierowcą, zaś wiedza Fana o zwierzętach, ptakach, wszystkim co związane z naturą jest bardzo imponująca. Odnieśliśmy wrażenie, że nie ma pytania, na które nie znałby odpowiedzi. Cała wyprawa była doskonale zorganizowana, od początku do końca, o wszystko zadbano. Czuliśmy się bezpiecznie i komfortowo przez cały czas. Zobaczyliśmy mnóstwo cudownych i nieoczekiwanych rzeczy w parku Ruaha, po części ze względu na szczęście i okoliczności, ale w dużej mierze również dzięki temu, że wszystko odbywało się z uwzględnieniem naszych potrzeb i szacunkiem do nich. Mieliśmy tyle czasu, ile tylko potrzebowaliśmy i chcieliśmy na obserwowanie zwierząt, robienie zdjęć, odpoczynek itd. Zdecydowanie Breakdown Safaris to firma, którą możemy z czystym sumieniem gorąco polecić każdemu, dla kogo istotne są indywidualne i przyjacielskie podejście, profesjonalizm, świetnie zorganizowane safari, w trakcie którego nie trzeba się martwić o nic, a wyłącznie cieszyć i napawać obcowaniem z naturą i zwierzętami. Jesteśmy przekonani, że wrócimy do Tanzanii, do innych parków narodowych i na inne safari, ale z całą pewnością również zorganizowane przez Breakdown Safaris!
