Southbound Tours and Marco make our trip unforgettable, ranking the top 5 of our trips!
I came into contact with Marco, around 6 month ago, when I was googling in search of a local agency to provide travel services in Namibia. The first contact with Southbound Tours, was very quick in answering, and since the beginning very helpful regarding the overall aspects of a trip through Namibia, the support was so efficient that and I ended up booking my entire trip with Southbound Tours. Marco provided excellent service throughout the entire trip. He took care of every details including booking activities, Restaurants reservations, transfers when needed, lodges recommendations and booking, a private fly-in plane, with an exclusive pilot (YahYah) all the travels routes along Namibia, who did our more extravagant experience together with the amazing sceneries from the air.
There is no words to thanks to Marco and his team for ensure this unforgettable lifetime experience in Namibia. The trip was fascinating and unexpected in what regards the sight and spots, almost unreal especially in the Desert, but also Sandwich Harbour, Walvis Bay. The scenery flight between Sossusvlei and Swakopmund was really top. Also our congratulations to the pilot, professional and ensuring safe flights all the time. Etocha Park was great, the Lodge was wonderful and at the arrival we were astonish by Rhinos, just there around the pool to welcome us! Last not least Marco did a great job, attempt along almost 6 months to all my doubts, questions and changes of the plan, giving suggestions and improving the final program. The last day he was really gentleman and kind. He met the group last night dinner at Joe´s Beerhouse, one of the most popular Restaurants in Windhoeck, for a toast and say goodbye! I wish you Marco, a prosper business and I bet we will be with you for a new adventure in Botswana and Zimbabwe, for sure.

Excellent!
I had an incredible experience with AfrimountTours and Travel! The communication was great and professional, making every step of the booking process stress-free. Their service was amazing, with a friendly and knowledgeable team that ensured everything went smoothly. I was impressed by the value for money, as the tour offered exceptional experiences at a reasonable price. The reliability of their pickups, guides, and planned activities gave me complete peace of mind. The tour itself was beyond amazing, showcasing breathtaking known central island of Turkana creating memories to cherish forever. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Kenya in comfort and style!

Unprofessional and overall bad services
I can't say I got value for money. Because I paid for a tour to the Mara for July for 3 adults 2 kids but got a family funeral which made me postpone...I communicated and the lady "Mary" told me she would communicate with the hotel. I reached out when my schedule opened up in November and Mary gave me a date...only to arrive in the hotel and apparently they didn't have a booking for us. And then we were kept starving with kids in the cold and in the dark coz apparently no payment was made. So we were abandoned by the travel agency and made to pay for the rooms ourselves so that the generator can be switched on and the food be made. Even after making payment to the Agent in full.
Use them at your own risk.

Honest, on point, dedicated and friendly!
My girlfriend and I recently had an unforgettable safari experience that far exceeded our expectations.
We were fortunate enough to see every animal we had hoped for, making this one of the most remarkable adventures of my life.
Our guides, Darnford and Saloniki, were incredibly dedicated, going above and beyond to ensure our experience was exceptional.
Their passion and effort truly made the journey special. Without a doubt, this won’t be our last visit.
Thank you so much for such an incredible experience!

Exceptional
Southbound Tours did an unique and diverse itinerary in Namibia for a group of 10 people. The service provided was very good and reliable. Moreover, it was very easy to communicate with Marco and everyone involved before and during the trip. Our transfers, flights and accommodations were well prepared upon our arrival and we had no issues (always on time). I would say that it was a very good value for money for the type of trip that we had as a group. Marco was even able to help me getting my drone permit to be used during the trip (however, there are very limited places to use it). Only improvement to be appointed is the safaris in Etosha (there is a need for better cars and different hours, not in the peak of the heat). Besides that, I would love to book another trip through Southbound Tours.

Outstanding in all ways
We did Astralken's 18 day budget safari for two people. The wide range of locations from the North to the Tanzania border allowed us to experience a broader range of Eco systems, animals, cultures and topography. It included less visited locations while still visiting the more famous parks. Did you know that there are zebras and giraffes in the north with different markings than those in other parts of Kenya? We visited Riff lakes, waterfalls, rivers with hippos and crocodiles, watched hippos coming on shore after dark to eat, from our veranda and saw an incredible range of animals. A high point was visiting a group of nomads in the North who build no shelters and speak no Swahili.
What really made this trip so fantastic were the Australken people.

Zippy managed all communication before and during the trip responding quickly and following up almost daily asking for our feedback. Of course she set the fantastic itinerary with unique places and experiences that made the trip. She met us at the airport when we arrived and took us to the airport when we left.
Moses was our guide and driver. He was a calm and very safe driver in a land of dangerous drivers and roads! He was an uncanny wildlife spotter with full knowledge of the local habitats and animals in each of the diverse areas we visited. He enjoyed every day of the trip, always up.
John was our cook providing good meals. He was always upbeat, quick to laugh (even at my jokes) and added to our trip in so many ways.
Moses and John made this a very happy experience, beyond just a standard game drive. We were all sad when they dropped us at the hotel at the end of the trip.
We can't imagine having a better safari than we experienced with Zippy and Australken!
PS: WE are in our upper 70s and had no problems, you can do it too!

Words special words to explain how professional this company is....
We wish we could have more words to explain.
We were on a safari with Mr Michael as our guide even if i dont have experience with another guide to compare but am sure he is the one of the best guide in Tanzania.
He is very professional and speaks both fluent english language and french language, he got eagle eyes to see even the hidding animals from miles away and he always use a binocular just to confirm and he never wrong.
He is calm, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about animals behaviour and his culture.
We saw each and every wild animals and the highlight was the Ngorongoro Crater with its beautiful highlands and so many animals just in one place inside the Caldera.
We can definitely recommend Meijo Safaris and Michael as a Guide.

Madagascar Natural Tours are professional, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, good value for money
We really enjoyed our tour with Madagascar Natural Tours. We spent about four weeks touring the island with Harilala. Many of roads are in poor condition but we were always advised ahead of the journey. The slow travel meant that we could see life happening in the towns and villages as we passed. Harilala is very knowledgeable about his country, the people and wild life. We learned a lot about culture and history from him.
His choice and organisation of accommodation, route and sights was very good and met our expectations.
He is also a pioneer in environmental restoration and protection and we have a lot of respect for him.
We would be very happy to recommend him for your tour.

Amazing experience! Thabk you Richard, Brian (Mufasa) and the team!
Our experience with Super Eagles couldn't have been better. We took the 3 day Amboseli tour and from the get go it was really special.
We were greeted by a driver Gilbert who took us to headquarters to meet Richard, who received us with a big smile. Then we met the our guide for the three days: Brian aka Mufasa.
Put experience during the tirpnwas great. Mufasa was insightful and very helpful even when we got stuck in mud just outside Amboseli on our Full game drive. He was always smiling, calm and cheerful. During our stay at Amboseli we stayed at Nyati camp and our experience there was beautiful. Located just on the foot of the Kilimanjaro, every day we woke up admiring the views and enjoying the animals during our drives.
On our last day, one of our group celebrated her birthday and we were greeted back at headquarters with a big cake and dancing by all the staff. It was truly special and we all appreciated the effort everyone put into the event. Thabk you all!
I truly recommend Super Eagles! I would definitely choose them again whenever we go back to Kenya.
