Breathtaking Experiance
From the first contact with Soul Of Tanzania I was impressed by how professional and helpful they were, that I just stopped contacting any other Safari Companies. Helena helped us in planning our trip according to our budget and giving amazing tips and advices, not sparing any effort to insure that all the planning goes smooth, even though we had so many questions on either email or Whatsapp she was always there to answer them.
As for the accommodations we were so amazed by all the ones that were suggested by her, mixing it between luxury and basic to keep it within our budget, we stayed in Manyara Wildlife Camp for day 1, the next day in Acacia Camp in Serengeti and the final night Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. All had hot water and excellent food. Helena have been so sweet to even helping us in choosing hotels in Zanzibar although it was booked directly by us and not by the company.
We did a 4 days Safari Trip starting from Manyara Lake, then heading to Serengeti National Park and spending the last day in Ngorongoro crater, the whole trip was customized to our preference so we can feel how special it was from the moment we arrived at the airport. The lunches were very excellent the food always hot and tasty, you can even see other tourists looking at our table impressed by the food and set-up.
The car had a fridge and, very importantly, chargers for phones, and cameras, which is very important once you are there. Also the car was cleaned every day before the trip.
But of course what really defines the Safari Trip experience is quality of your guide. Here were we felt blessed, Heaven was extremely welcoming, friendly, professional and you can feel that he always take the extra mile to make sure our trip is pleasant. He has a good eye for the seeing animals from far away giving us the opportunity to be close to the animals before even other cars come around which was perfect for photography. His nice personality also was impressive, we had great chats over lunch or dinners and he always impressed us with his excellent singing during the long drives.
It was our first Safari Experience and thanks to Soul Of Tanzania it is memorable one and we cannot wait to repeat it again, We highly recommend Soul of Tanzania!

Unforgettable experience
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Uganda with Magic Wildlife Safaris. Charles and his team were very helpful and showed us the true beauty that Uganda holds.

Wow, superb, efficient, helpful, wonderful
We really cannot express in words how superb Gamewatchers are. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are there any time you need them, day and night, via their emergency numbers.............. not that we have had need to call these.
Everything from JKIA arrival to departure runs so smoothly and there is always a smile on hand.
The Porini camps are wonderful, set in private conservancies where wildlife is plentiful and jeeps are not.
If you are going to Kenya just once then choose to book with Gamewatchers and stay at their camps,

A Perfect Safari Experience
This was our second safari experience with Ubuntu and once again we benefited from Cuan McLaren’s extensive knowledge of African wildlife regions, tour operators and accommodation providers. Cuan organised an itinerary that met our requirements and exceeded our expectations. It gave us a great variety of experiences across Botswana, Tanzania and Rwanda. His attention to customer service is exemplary and the entire trip went without a hitch. We are already planning our next African safari (our fourth visit) and of course we will be using Ubuntu. We can highly recommend Ubuntu.

Eminent Safaris tour experience was magical and the customer service was amazing.
Eminent safaris was always available to answer all our questions and to provide all the support that we needed. They are always accessible and very friendly. They actually did not just meet the expectations we had but surpassed them by being keen to listen to what we really needed and meeting those needs squarely. The safari was quite interesting and fun, we had days filled with adventure. Due to their tactful planning, we managed to visit a good number of tourist destinations within Mauritius thus getting good value out of the tour.

Review about Kruger National Park by Kyron Halleday
Easy to get around, great vehicle, knowlegable staff and saw the entire big 5. Infact within 3 mins of entering the park we saw Giraffe, warthog, and imparla….

A park to visit at least once in life!
South Luangwa National Park, located in eastern Zambia at only one hour driving from Chipata, has been my first safari ever. My expectations were very high and I can now say that the experience has absolutely reached them! The two guides, one from Lusaka and one from the local village Mfuwe, were very prepared, available, kind, respectful and nice! In our group of five visitors, I was the only one with photographic equipment and both of the guides have always managed to make me feel comfortable to take pictures from different perspectives, and always in the respect of the animals! Although we have spent only one full day in the park, not being able to visit the whole of it, nature and the life you can observe are amazing! The stunning views, the great and open landscapes both on the Luangwa river and in the bush are unforgettable! The park is full of animals, and since it’s not that extended, you’re able to easily spot four of the Big Five, not the Rhino which is not present at all in the park. Among the others, we have spotted: many Thornicroft's giraffes and elephants, plenty of hyppos, a male lion with three puppies, a lonely male leopard and a female with two puppies, a Cape buffaloes herd running to the river to drink and enjoy the water, many impalas, kudu, puku, and birds! South Luangwa National Park is for sure a park to visit at least once in life!

Worth every cent ....
The trip was amazing from start to finish. Our guide Nick was knowledgeable and kind and considerate of my teen. They formed a great bond and despite varying weather she had the time of her life. We saw the big 5 and Nick went out of his way to ensure that all members of our tour had all their needs met. The accommodation as great, very comfortable beds, food was amazing, and despite our animal loving approach we tried the meat and it was exceptional.
Nicks knowledge of not only Kruger but Africa in general made our trip (even the car ride) so interesting and informative. He is an amazing man who knows just about all there is to know about his country and its wildlife. The trip was suppose to be a once in a lifetime event but have already booked a return!

Dancing Zebra helped us select , then organized a trip that in all ways exceeded our expectations
When we and the couple we frequently travel with decided to plan a trip to Africa, we contacted Jessica Mathews of the Dancing Zebra Safari Company, whom our friends had met at the LA travel show. Jessica was a pleasure to work with, being very helpful and extremely patient with our initial uncertainties regarding which countries to visit, when to travel and what kinds of accommodations to book.
Once we settled upon visiting several sites in Tanzania and Kenya, plus the Chobe River in Namibia in late September and early October, Jessica efficiently handled all of our bookings, including transportation from each site to the next.
We and our traveling companions needed to make separate arrangements getting to Tanzania where our safaris began, and out of Namibia where the trip ended for us. Jessica had no problem coordinating two sets of rather complex travel plans, ensuring that we were met at each new location by someone representing Dancing Zebra. She also maintained contact with us throughout our trip, to ensure that things were proceeding as planned.
Our safaris took us to Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Serengeti National Parks in Tanzania. In Kenya we visited Amboseli, Meru and Masai Mara National Parks, while in Namibia we enjoyed daily river excursions on the Chobe River.
All of our accommodations were of uniformly high quality with friendly staff, very good food and excellent knowledgeable guides, who led on several game drives each day.
We were fortunate enough to see large numbers of wildebeests and zebras crossing the Mara River. Other highlights of the trip were close-up viewing lions, leopards and cheetahs dining on their kills. We even were able to closely follow lions and a family of cheetahs as they stalked their prey. We were also fascinated by the many hundreds of elephants we saw at nearly all of the places we visited. Finally, we left home with little thought of birds, but having seen and photographed such a wide variety of them in Africa, we now have a new-found interest.
We were delighted with what Jessica and Dancing Zebra arranged for us, and will happily recommend them to any of our friends interested in a trip to Africa.
