Thanks to our hard working & observant guide,Adam , who managed to deliver all the objectives we set out for him ,even surpassing our expectations on certain occasions eg watching the killing of the lion cubs in its den by Hyenas..

What a great holiday
We visited Uganda in september 2015 for a three week tour, organised bij Matoke and this was the best holiday I ever had. As from the oriëntation and booking in Holland, everything was very well organised. We had a group of 9 people and drove with two Toyota landcruisers with excellent drivers, and the tour guide made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything. They learned us a lot about the country and the wildlife. The lodges were very luxurious, the food was excellent and the wildlife incredible. We saw many mammals and birds and especially the chimpansees and gorilla’s were so beautiful and impressive, that they filled my eyes with tears. I also enjoyed birdwatching very much, there are so many species!. I feel really privileged to have been able to do this holiday. The people of Uganda are friendly and the children were waving all the time, what made us feel like a queen or the national football team. So all together I would sure recommend Matoketours. I think they do a really good job over there. Thanks for everything Matoketeam!

Just what we wanted
I have been on many safaris and wanted a custom safari for myself and three friends from the US. We took two short safaris and they were perfect. Since I have so much experience, I know that we were given a great value for the money. Our guide was knowledgeable and very professional. And we were lucky. We got to see the Wildebeest crossing the Mara River. But I also know it was because we were in the right place at the right time thanks to Afroriginals.

Wonderfully accommodating tour guide!
I am most grateful that we found Africa Zim. Traveling with a group of friends, each with different date requirements and all with very specific locations we wanted to explore, we appreciated how accommodating Africa Zim was. Our guide, Blessing, was responsive by email during our trip planning and very flexible during the tour when changes needed to be made. He found wonderful guides for us on our game drives and river cruises. It was clear that we were getting a much better experience than the other groups we would meet and talk with during breaks. Best of all for any birders out there, all the guides were excellent at identifying and pointing out the local birds. Be sure to ask the river people to tell their creation stories - I especially liked the explanation story for why hippos leave the river to take care of their business ;-)

Absolutely Worth It!
Wow I don't even know where to start with my review of Incredible Kenya Adventures tours & safaris, but basically it ends with smiles and two thumbs up! Francis was beyond helpful answering our many, many questions and was also very accommodating with our requests on length of trip, and where we wanted to stay at night. We E-mailed other safari operators as well but Francis's prompt and helpful replies, in addition to their community integration and conservation efforts, is really what sold it for us. The cost was a bit higher than other operators, but as we soon found out that it is 100% Worth It!
In summary, if you want a dependable, quality, top-notch safari with a guide who is friendly and very knowledgeable...then pick Incredible Kenya Adventures tours & safaris! We picked them because of their integration and support of local communities and incredible work with wildlife conservation but found that they also provided a better Safari trip than we could have ever hoped. Absolutely worth it!

Wonderful to Experience the Real Africa
How fortunate that I found Africa Zim Travel early this year when looking for a Botswana, Vic Falls Safari. We booked their budget safari, mostly camping and an excellent value. Not realizing how hot it would in Oct., we upgraded to an air conditioned lodge room a couple of times with no problem. The tour company is great, totally flexible as to start date and what you do along the way. We needed to accommodate several peoples' schedule for this trip and being able to choose our own start date was invaluable.
Service was excellent. Follow up and communications during planning was good.
My favorite site on the tour was Elephant Sands, an elephant oasis in the middle of a very dry area, hope the rains start soon!
The best part has been our wonderful tour guide, Blessing, giving us a chance to know a black African, learning about his life, family, his country of Zimbabwe plus many aspects of African culture. Almost all of our guides for game viewing have been local people, who bring their rich knowledge of the land and animals along with a great sense of humor. We visited a traditional village and have experienced some of the real Africa, not just another fancy resort.
Highly recommend Africa Zim Travel.

Total experience was absolutely fabulous.
Everything was extremely well organized. The booking service with Robert was first class. The choices with accommodation were of an excellent standard and the safaris that were arranged showcased the wildlife. Motswari was a fabulous 4 days, everyone took an interest in your stay from the manager David, our guide Chad and tracker Difference, the receptionists and staff. When out on safari you were never rushed away from sightings. Our flights, transfers and other day tours that Robert had recommended all went smoothly. On our return Robert made contact about our experience and was interested to hear about the trip. We would highly recommend Wild Africa Travel Company for anybody interested in going to Africa as they plan to your requirements.

Customized tour, offering maximum flexibility to adjust to daily needs
Customized tour, offering maximum flexibility to adjust to daily needs
Easy breezy from booking & arrival through to departure. We had a fantastic experience that was customized to fit our interests & changing needs. We booked a camping safari that took us from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe to Chobe National Park, Elephant Sands, & Okavango Delta in Botswana. Our camp sites were comfy, with great food, nice accommodations, & near wildlife. Blessing was our guide & ensured that we had the best park guides who were most knowledgeable of local wildlife. Blessing introduced us to the peoples & cultures & we had many long conversations that gave us unique insights. He even introduced us to a rural family where he stopped to offer food & supplies. Some of the group wanted to upgrade to hotels & he accommodated them though at several sites. I highly recommend Africa Zim!

Our month long trip in Africa
We were planing this trip for 9 years and really wanted to make sure that everything goes to our plans. After talking to couple of other operators we have decided to go with Oti and his company. Knowledge and connections these guys have is unbeatable. We have enjoyed every day and would like to give a great feedback.
We would like to thank to Livingston, Oti, Valentin and David and Jacob well done. We just got back to New Zealand but still in Africa with our minds. We will come back again one day. We would rate 6 out of 5 if we could.
Places visited: Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha, Kibale forest, Rwenzori mountains, Queen Elizabeth NP, Jinja and much more...
