By Far the BEST Africa Trip I've Ever Taken
I have been to over 15 different countries in Africa and done over 17 safari’s. I’m gonna tell you right now that my trip With Native Africa Tours has been my all-time favorite experience I’ve ever had in Africa.
The team worked one on one with me to be able to make sure that they created the perfect itinerary to meet all of my bucket list experience requirements and make my Africa trip come to life.
We visited Uganda, Rwanda, and DR Congo, and they made all of the border crossing processes super easy and seamless. I also got to do my first ever walking safari, and let me tell you, it was so cool to see animals very up close and by foot. Their transportation/safari vehicles are super comfortable and modern and make the drive very enjoyable, considering you might have a couple of hours of long driving between destinations. Native Africa Tours also organized some amazing hotels for me to stay in. One of the hotels even had a pool where the animals would come up to the watering hole, and it was located in the bush. It was such a cool experience to enjoy a luxury hotel with wild animals hanging out around the pool. My guide ensured that I could see all of the animals I wanted to see in Queen Elizabeth National Park. When I went to the Congo, it was such a safe experience. They organized everything for me, from the border crossing to the amazing gorilla trek. The Rwanda portion of my trip was very nice and relaxing.
As a remote worker, they also accommodated my every needs and made sure I was back by a certain time to start work and had high speed internet throughout the entire trip. I appreciated that so much
This 10-day trip I took was truly an adventure and a dream. The staff at native Africa Tours is literally the best, and I would not recommend any other company more. When I say this is by far the best safari trip I’ve gone on, I mean it. Thanks again for creating the best trip of a lifetime! I can’t wait to come back

A passionate guide in Serengeti and a expert in animals
Our trip with Jackson was from 2024.9.4 to2024.9.11 which is amazing.
Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Arusha.
Firstly, in the season Jackson can take you to see it all. We have seen all the big-five and many other great animals. We saw two rhinos in Lake Manyara; a cheetah with her two babies; 4 leopards; dozens of lions; plenty groups of buffaloes; lots of birds, antelopes, baboons, porcupines, hyenas est. And we saw 4 times of wildebeests river crossing in one day after a whole day waiting.
Secondly, Jackson can give you extra information about animals, cultures, life, family, society. He knows a lot and good at understanding in English. I have asked lots of questions with response one by one. And during the driving time, the lunch time, the dinner time, we chat a lot of different topics and have a wonderful time.
Thirdly, Jachson is eager to introduce Tanzania to people coming from the world. So the enthusiasm is unbelievable. He is hardworking too, get up early, get everything ready in advance. And he knows everyone in the safari.
Chose him as your guide, you' ll get a lot.

Excellent service
Overall our safari in Kenya and Tanzania was wonderful! We started in Kenya with Jeff as our guide. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. He is an experienced knowledgeable guide who knew the Masai Mara amd Amboseli well and knew all the places we could find wildlife, he knew the different lion prides and worked with other guides to find the wildlife. We also had Bakari as our guide in Tanzania, he was also a great guide! Even when we were tired and were ready to give up finding that elusive leopard in the Serengeti, he wouldn't let us and he was right. Thank you Bakari! His perseverance enabled us to get to experience seeing a leopard with her prey in a tree. We got to see the big 5 and so much more!
From the planning to any hiccup in the itinerary the tour company and guides tried to make everything run smoothly, which we appreciated. I highly recommend Exotic Centre Travels.They truly encapsulated the "Hakuna Matata" spirit, because we didn't have to worry about anything during our trip!

Excellent bespoke self-drive tour of central Namibia
For our first visit to Namibia we wanted some guidance in planning a 10 day self drive itinerary around the middle third of Namibia. Marco and Marne of Southbound tours were very quick to come with a suitable plan that mixed sightseeing and realistic travelling distances. They were able to flex the bookings given the timings of our flights and were very responsive to changes via email and WhatsApp.
We had an excellent briefing package before arrival that was complemented by a pack-up on arrival, as well as a comprehensive briefing on the vehicle, route, activities and hotels.
All the hotels we stayed at were excellent. There is no way I would have identified the correct ones to choose, where the facilities and staff were universally excellent and efficient.
We feel we received excellent value for money, we never needed to call for information or assistance, a testament to the fine organisation and planning.

Very flexible and helpful in organising a solo trip
The tour guide Paul was excellent. He provided a lot of insight into the region etc and patiently answered my many questions. The Flamingo Hill Tented Campus was beautiful. I was the only one there, because it was low season but they still looked after me very well. The only downside was the rather noisy church nearby (the camp is on the edge of the park), which was having an event till rather late...

Victoria from Nsavi Safaris is the best!
Victoria is clearly one of the best tour organizers in the world. Her communication is outstanding, always responded promptly to any questions and emails and she did changes and customize the tours in any way I wished. Her professionalism and flexibility make her truly exceptional!
Our driver and tour guide Alex was also great. Intelligent, funny, friendly and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and got everything we needed.
Uganda is one of the few places in the world where you can spend time with mountain gorillas, do chimpanzees tracking and also embark on a safari to encounter elephants, lions, and leopards. And all of this in just a few days.
I highly recommend Nsavi Safaris!

Experienced guide who knows what’s’ best for the tourist with him
Plan for Kenya was by my friends who I accompanied and should say the tour from Airport to Train Station is the best experience we had.
Every day planning, hotel/ campsite stays, game rides for animal viewing, masai village tour, cycling , boat rides - everything was more than we expected.
Tour guide had good knowledge of all wild animals in Masai Mara Reserve & Amboselli National park and he never denied our request for more animal viewing or getting closer to animal herds for good pictures & closer viewing.
It’s a lifetime experience that I wouldn’t forget and I hope everyone opting Karibu Safaris also will have the same satisfaction.

The most amazing Kenya safari
We arranged our safari with Lewis and Imara Africa via WhatsApp where Lewis sent me lots of links for various places, helped me choose dates, pick up and drop off places etc.
We decided on a pick up from our hotel in Nairobi where all of the staff met us with the private vehicle and our driver James. We drove to Amboseli National Park where we stayed for 1 night at the Elewana Tortilis Camp with food and drink included. The drive into the park itself was amazing and we saw lots of animals. We then had another safari drive later in the afternoon.
The following morning we drove to Tsavo West and Salt Lick Lodge where we were staying for 2 nights and again a game drive on the way in and another one in the afternoon.
On the second day we had a full day game drive in Tsavo East and the following morning James drove us to Mombasa where we were flying to Zanzibar.
James was an amazing driver and we saw all of the big 5 while we were there. He made sure we had plenty of water in the truck and got us to each place safely. Lewis of course made sure everything was arranged in advance so checking in was smooth and our accommodation was amazing!
I will be planning another safari for the Masai Mara and I have no hesitation in using Imara Africa Safaris.
