Excellent service
I'm a tour operator who makes use of the services of Catz Tours to transfer my guests and take them on tour. To date my guests have all left with happy smiles and high praise for Henry and Annekie. Their knowledge of all things South Africa and their passion for South Africa, the people and wildlife always shines through in the comments my guests send me.

Great Safari Experience with Image Travel Limited
Thanks to Mwanje's efforts and detailed planning my family could an enjoy an amazing 3 day safari in Tsavo East. We got a really good offer with 2 nights in Ashnil, a really nice lodge with good food, and a lot of game drives, with pick-up and return to our accommodation arranged. I would recommend this travel agency to anyone who is looking for great Kenyan Safari experience!

Exactly What You'd Hope!
We went as a group of educators and zoo staff from Minnesota, with a mixed background in what to expect. Simon was our main guide and could not have been a more perfect host. We felt like we got the absolute best animal sightings and anecdotal information possible. The homemade food, camaraderie and lodging were also great. We went in winter, so it was easy to see the animals that were out, and Simon was great about letting us view and take pictures to our heart's content. We saw everything except a cheetah and wild dogs. I would absolutely book with Wild Wings again, and hope to bring my family.

A little "tame", but O.K. for a short safari during a business trip.

Amazing safari, fantastic tour operator
My partner and I went on a 10 day safari in Tanzania with Safari Infinity in November 2013 incorporating several activities like a hike of empakaai crater, mountain bike ride, ngorogoro crater rim walk, the beautiful serengeti etc.
I can't praise this company enough for a once in a lifetime, amazing holiday. If you are thinking of using them, I wouldn't hesitate. We've already recommended them to a few friends who want to do a similar trip this year.
They were highly professional, their local knowledge and advice on what works / doesn't on your itinerary makes them a standout. They are a growing safari specialist and really do put their customers first. There are many reasons why I would choose them again and recommend to others, here's the top reasons:
Firstly, they were super responsive and patient with any questions I had and my numerous itinerary changes. I dealt with Augustine in the canadian office but whether you get Augustine or Lucia, both are just as responsive and knowledgeable. We also met Simon when we arrived who was there if we had any questions. I think this is a very nice personal touch, shows the operators really care about their customers!
Second, our guide Eric was amazing! He really knew his stuff and was fantastic as being to spot all the wildlife. Having a guide who knows where to go for the best views, having a great eye for spotting the animals and of course friendly is a must. Having met 3 of Safari Ininity's guides over the course of our trip (bumped into one guide several times who was with another group, and another guide picked us up from Arusha on our last day), I would say the key advantage they have over larger companies perhaps and what comes through, is that the guides are all very PASSIONATE about their jobs, Tanzania and the protecting the wildlife.
Third, they were simply excellent value. They offered me a competitive quote compared to the 4 other operators I asked, and after delving into the details it was obvious they were including much more in the price than the others. You also pay into a canadian bank account, which made me feel safer about the company (even though it shouldn't make a difference!). I would say, book with them before they need to put up their prices due to high demand!
Lastly, they treat their staff well. It was important to us that the guides etc all enjoyed working for the company. They said Simon and Lucia were on call should they need anything, they don't just leave the guides to deal with any issues alone. I think that sort of support is very important as Tanzania can be quite unpredictable at times, even though our tour was perfectly smooth.
Don't hesitate to book with Safari Infinity!
Review about Makgadikgadi Pans National Park by Alan J Castle
Stay at Planet Baobab, one of the quirkiest hotels anywhere and take an organised trip on quad bikes out onto the pan, where you will camp overnight sleeping under the stars. There is absolutely nothing there, but never has nothing been so magnificent as sunset or sunrise on this massive pan.
Review about Okavango Delta by Alan J Castle
Anyone at all interested in the natural world should visit the Okavango at least once. It is a unique habitat with some unique animals and great bird life.
