One week Safari with Siya Phambile!
We spent 7 days with Siya Phambile Expeditions and it did not disappoint one bit! The experience was out of this world. We were well-taken care and the service was amazing for the money. Food, transport, activities & accommodation, you do not have to worry about anything, just making sure your camera batteries are fully charged! We were on the road at crack of dawn and late at nights to make sure we capture all the action from the bush. We completed the big-5 spotting in less than 2 days and our guides were always providing description, information and details about all the species we encountered. Overall experience was great, we saw everything Kruger had to offer in terms of animal spotting, game reserve and life in base camps. We highly recommend Siya Phambile if you want to experience your own customized private safari, easy to work with, the guides at Siya Phambile are very knowledgeable and make sure you are having everything you need. FIVE STAR experience!

Trip of a lifetime with super customer care and animal viewing!
We visited Kenya and Tanzania last summer and from the get go Noah was very amenable, giving us accurate quotes and adapting the set tour to suit our requests. We did a 12 day safari and all the accommodation surpassed our expectations, both for locations, customer service and facilities (3 nights at Tortillis camp in the Serengeti was just one of the many amazing places we would love to go back to - check out their pancakes for breakfast and you'll see). Our main guide Humza was extremely experienced and really friendly, answering all our inane safari questions with a constant smile! He went above and beyond at times to allow us maximum animal viewing and because of this we were able to watch and photograph leopards, cheetahs, lions hunting, kudu, LOTS of beautiful elephants and bat eared foxes to name a few. On our last day, Noah realised we would be waiting at the airport for hours so arranged for us to visit the Giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi which was such an unexpected treat! We were so glad we booked with Wildebeest and would highly recommend them - ask for Humza! We'd definitely book with Noah again :)

everything was well organized, Vincent is an excellent driver guide, the trip was a big adventure
- communication with Francesca was excellent
- service was very good
- the trip was amazing
- the hotels, especially the camps and their staff are (serengeti halisi and lake Natron halisi camp) wonderful
only safari prices seem to be quite high, but that seems to be an overall tanzanian issu - same scubadiving in Zanzibar...Usambara Mountains are lower in price but amazing as well
Thanks again

Amazing experience
It was an amazing safari experience :)
We were on a 8 days safari in Kenya and Tanzania, group of 5 girlfriends. Everything was as planned, but great people made our adventure unforgettable. It is always the people that make the difference.
Thank you Stephen for your cooperation and planning our trip together with us.
We had amazing drivers - tour guides, Jacktone in Kenya and Estommy in Tanzania. Thank you for really taking care of 5 girls with heart.
I would really recommend Pride of Africa Adventures. They organized everything for us, from airport pick up, accomodation, food, tour... They are reliable and work with heart and give you more than just a tour - they give you an adventure,
I hope to see you guys again and to do another safari tour soon.

9 phantastic days in Ugnada with Prime Safari
A lovely experience in Uganda. Excellent driver (Joseph), friendly and super supported team in the Office (Cate was leading for us). We stayed in 5 hotels and all of them were perfect. Although my 1400 photos were stolen the day we landed back in Geneva (hence I can't attach any to confirm my words), we will keep excellent memories of our visit in Uganda and I feel like doing it again, I will for sure use Prime Safari to organize it. THANKS

Great service from driver to accommodation and food and they took care of our dietary needs as requested .
Overall it was an excellent safari for us and we hope to be back soon with Bison Safaris.

Zambezi listen to what you want and then deliver an amazing programme, this was my second booking.
The travel app from Zambezi was very useful. My tour operator contact Mark was always approachable and understood what type of safari I wanted to achieve, thank-you. The camps were up to date with ones travel plans and transfers and this was taken care of seemlessly. The hospitality was second to none and the accommodation was a excellent. The guides were professional and very knowledgeable, and they took time to learn what one was interested in seeming and doing. There was a variety of fauna to see. My programme was seamless and I was hosted extremely well on my game drives and water activities. I loved Shinde, a unique reserve with a private park and, variety of wildlife. It has a unique setting and wonderful people look after you.
I am already planning my next visit to Africa for 2019.

They made me very happy :)
I (a girl) went by myself on my first safari in Africa. Expectedly, I was very worried in terms of safety. Thanks to Grassrootz and my tour guide David, I felt very safe the whole time. Uganda's people are very nice - always smiling and welcoming.
The communication and organization of the trip was easy and quick (we did all in 2 weeks). The whole trip went very smooth and David was punctual the whole time (European punctual). He is a safe driver and I felt very calm and comfortable in the car. He was spotting animals quite well while driving even out of the parks.
All of the lodges were great (I went for mid-range, mostly tented eco camps). Please, note they are in the middle of nowhere so there is only solar power for charging batteries and water is scarce. But this way you feel and appreciate where you are even more. Food was provided by the lodges and it was plenty (not the most delicious but okay and they were trying their best).
During the 7 day trip in Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Lake Mburo, we saw:
*Mountain Gorillas (my main purpose of the safari)
*Baboons
*Colobus monkeys
*Blue monkeys
*Chimpanzees
*Grey-cheeked Mangabey
*Red-tailed monkeys
*Vervet monkeys
*Lions (twice - once on a cactus and once on trees)
*Elephants
*Uganda Kobs
*Warthogs (Pumbaa) - they are so funny
*Giant Hogs
*Red-river Hogs
*Waterbucks
*Bushbucks in two parks
*Eland antelopes
*Impalas
*Topis
*Buffalos
*Giraffes
*Zebras
*Nile Crocodiles
*Three-horned chameleon
*Mangoose
*Hippopotamus
*lots of pretty and ugly birds of all sizes
Probably I am forgetting something...
We didn't find hyenas and leopards but nature is not a zoo so it is due to luck sometimes (David tried really hard to find leopards for me). Actually none of the tourist I met have seen leopard, and just one saw hyenas on the road.
I highly recommend Grassrootz. Just be very clear what you want and expect and they will make it happen. I'm glad David was my tour guide and now I would say my friend.

Perfect, everything as planned
Wonderful people & wonderful organisation. Everything works as planned from Airport in Nairobi till the end in Kilimanjaro Airport. We booked a 8 days safari in Kenya and Tanzania, group of 5 friends. Everything was planned and handled perfectly. Thank you Stephen for making our first safari so unforgettable. You managed to organise us a trip on our budget and prospectives. Thanks to both of our drivers, Jacktone in Kenya and Estommy in Tanzania for having eyes as an eagle, excelent knowledge & motivation.
I can definitely recommend PAAS to all of you, searching for a reliable, responsive and memorable Safari tour operator.
Thank you guys for everything & we'll see you again, hope soon!
