Ways of Africa was the ideal safari coordinator.
Paul and Janet designed and executed a trip of a lifetime for our group of five.
During the planning stage, they were informative and incredibly responsive. They answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly, which is really important when you're getting ready to invest so much time and money into a trip.
We were impressed by the food, lodgings and surroundings at every resort we stayed at, and they seem to have been ordered so that the elegance increased with each stop. Everytime we left a resort you'd hear someone in our group say, "I wish we had another night here."
We saw so many incredible things on our safari drives -- cheetahs feeding on fresh kills, a baby hyena jumping all over its mother, lions mating -- that we couldn't possibly ask for more. The guide Paul and Janet arranged for us knew where to go, provided a ton of information and found us incredible views, even when there were multiple safari trucks grouped around a particular animal.
Our trip hit an unexpected snag when our van ran into transport truck that stopped suddenly in front of us on the highway. (This wasn't the driver or the company's fault. We felt safe on the road, which is saying something if you're familiar with Kenyan traffic.) Within a few hours, we had a new ride, a new driver and were back on the road. Paul and Janet were not only quick to sort everything out, but they constantly checked in on us and arranged a couple of additional activities to make up for the time we lost.
We were so well taken care of by Ways of Africa that it felt like we had our own private tour company at our disposal. Paul and Janet's experience and professionalism gave us everything we needed, and they were so sweet and friendly it was almost like dealing with family.
I wouldn't think twice about recommending them to anyone planning a trip to east Africa.

Our 6-day safari with this tour operator was truly unforgettable!
From the very first moment, everything was excellently organized, and the trip went smoothly. Our guide Jeremy played a crucial role in making this experience so special. His extensive knowledge of nature, wildlife, and the parks was truly impressive, and we could ask him anything!
Jeremy ensured that we spotted countless animals during our safari, all in a respectful manner without disturbing the parks or the animals. Despite the busy schedule, Unscripted Safari made it all possible and carefully planned every detail!
We highly recommend this tour operator and, of course, our guide Jeremy to anyone looking for an authentic, safe, and unforgettable safari experience!

Thomas was very informative & enthusiastic; he made the visit much better
The tour made many of the museum’s rules and exhibits clear and by giving the highlights we were able to see the entire museum. The History of Apartheid is a large museum and it is stuffed with information and history; it would take days to go through it without Thomas. He also pointed out historically significant landmarks in Johannesburg.

Thomas was extremely knowledgeable and considerate tour guide.
Thomas was extremely knowledgeable and considerate throughout our Apartheid Museum tour. He patiently observed us take all information in by ourselves and guided as we wished at critical points and interests in the massive museum. He picked us up on time, communicated promptly, and also gave information on the entire city as he drove us to and back from the museum.

perfect support
Cubs Expeditions provided perfect service. I especially liked the quick communication and problem solving. The guide did his best to help us see various animals. I recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonable price and sufficient service.

Extremely well organized and knowledgeable
With so many companies in the area it was really hard to pick on but we 100% made the right decision with Suricata Safari!
Mr. T and Daniel made sure we get all information and briefed us very throughly.
We spent four days with Fredy and he did an amazing job at answering every possible question, spotting animals in unbelievable distances and also driving very safely and responsibly, even through a storm. It was also great to see the teamwork between guides and how they communicate between each other, everyone really cares about the animals and their wellbeing.
All of the accommodations exceeded our expectations! We were never hungry or cold and the staff took great care to pay attention to every detail, down to the warm water bottles under the blanket during a cold night. As for the animal sounds during the night - you have to experience that yourself, a review can‘t describe it 😊
Thanks to Fredy we successfully saw all of the big five (and much much more), but we will be back for the rhinos up close 😁 Asante sana!

Filipa organized an excellent experience to Massai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar
We booked a trip to the Massai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar. I can't say enough about how great this trip was. Filipa did an excellent job organizing and coordinating our itinerary. Accommodations, service, and food were fabulous. People were very friendly and went out of their way to make this experience unforgettable. Our safari guide/driver Marco Y. was very flexible and made sure we saw "the big 5". He was the best guide driver we could ask for. He made our experience amazing: good driver, great at spotting animals from afar, and very knowledgeable about nature. Also a shout out to George (our safari guide/driver with Spirit of Kenya) for our Massai Mara safari. He also went out of his way to make our experience the best with including a visit to the Massai village.

Once in a lifetime experience
Such an outstanding experience!
The tour truly exceeded all our expectations and it really is worth it! We did a mid range 4 day tour to Serengeti, Negoro, and Tangire national parks. Really loved all the stays and managed to see breathtaking wildlife.
Pro tip- make sure to go with Freddy as your tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and fun- we learned so much about the animals from him and had a great time. Fully recommend!

very kind
It's worth it. There is a full service from the airport. There is no need to operate by yourself. It is very considerate, cost-effective, and the food is also rich. Recommended！
