Nothing short of Paradise
We are so grateful to Tanzania Odyssey and especially Tom for sorting out our trip.
Jongomero and Siwandu were nothing short of paradise. Beautiful settings, unimaginably friendly staff, delicious food (and lots of it) and awesome game viewing. I must also add that Mark at Ras Kutani did a fantastic job of making Christmas special for us.
We particular liked how jongo, Siwandu and Ras K were all distinct in style and made efforts to add little personalized touches. We have both travelled far and wide but can honestly say that the level of service (and enjoyment) was the best either of us have ever experienced.
In short it was the trip of a lifetime (although we will have to return sooner rather than later!)
Thanks again for organising the perfect honeymoon and making it all run so smoothly.
We have recommended Tanzania and you guys to everyone we know and I believe that Tom is organising a trip already for our great friends ## and ##!

Professional operators and staff
I was fortunate to have discovered Safari tours for a trip to the Ngorongoro crater. Perfect experience and excellent driver and guide who had three decades of experience of the animals. The tour operators arranged excellent accommodation and it was impossible to to fault the entire experience in any way

We had excellent service, bookings and changes well done an experienced driver - A great Safari
TSA has been in the business for a long time and the reason is that they are well organized and provide an excellent service. This is my second trip with them. All other people I know that took trips with them were as pleased with the safari as I have been.
Such an amazing trip
...thanks for arranging such an amazing trip. We loved every minute of it.
Fundu was simply amazing, and somewhere we would definitely go back to. The staff, the location, the guests were all top notch.
Of the safari camps, both were incredible. I think we preferred Siwandu, mainly because Claire the camp manager was fantastic and we were incredibly lucky with the game viewing (wild dogs, leopard, lions, elephants as well as all the rest….) but Jongomero was still very special.

The Adventure of a Lifetime
Planning a trip to Africa is daunting for a woman going solo and after months of researching tour companies on the internet, I settled on Safari Partners due to the great reviews from fellow travelers.
They did not disappoint. Jen found the tours -Tanzania and Rwanda- to suit my budget, time frame and trip expectations and Chris took over from there and became the "guru" for all things Africa. Everything was arranged from airport pickups, meals, lodging, money guidance, help with booking, airfare...on, and on. Every single detail was arranged before arriving in Africa. It went off without a single hiccup and I had the trip of a lifetime. Tanzania will fill your senses with the big 5 wild life (especially the elusive big cats and magnificent elephants)and sleeping in amazing tents with Masai scouts on point to keep the wildlife at bay. But Rwanda is so very very special. Beautiful country, beautiful people, the genocide museum will leave you humbled and shaken but as my driver said, you must start with it to get the "sadness" out of the way before you meet the glorious Silverback gorilla and his family. Truly the most unforgettable experience of my life...trekking gorillas. I encourage you to go because the money you spend on the permit goes to the gorillas 24/7 protection of the species and their habitat. It is a reverent experience -gorillas allowing humans into their "living room" to share an hour with them. You can trust Safari Partners to handle all the details so you can experience Africa the way it is meant to be experienced and savored.

Sociable and amenable hosts delivering a memorable hloiday with superb photos to take home.
The planning of the holiday was made easy by the Pangolin staff who gave us advice on the flights, clothing, visas, currencies to bring, injection requirements etc. From the moment we were met we were looked after very well and enjoyed an action packed holiday. The purpose built boat on the Chobe was excellent. Each visitor had his own swivel chair and Nikon camera equipped with tele photo lense and motor. I took well over 1,000 photographs. The off road truck used for the safari park was also better than the others we saw. All together better than expected. We are already planning our next trip with Pangolin.

South African Family Trip
From the moment I first called Christine telling her that we wanted to go to South Africa, but only had a short time, I knew we were in good hands!
She suggested the best route to follow and it was spot on! The private game reserve in the Eastern Cape was fabulous. The accommodation was very spacious – our family had a huge chalet with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a big deck overlooking the valley. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we saw lots of game, including being completely surrounded by about 20 elephants during one of our drives.
Christine also booked us in at a hotel in Knysna which is very well situated at the waterfront. It was a very good base for our travels down the Garden Route.
Everything went very smoothly and we would recommend Christine for her efficient and excellent service!

Recommendable Tour Operator
We were welcomed at the airport by the driver who gave us a warm welcome to Kenya and he took us to our hotel. Following day in the morning we were picked on time and our guide Peter communicated to us what to expect from the safari. Our guide was really skilled, informative and entertaining, he would not allow us to get bored. All in all, I would recommend every one to try African Paradise Safaris, you will not regret

Unbelieveable photo lesson in the most unbelievable African setting- loved it! Thank you!
The personal service, communications and follow up were all fantastic and appreciated. The safari was like a movie scene- unbelievable!! Would highly recommend to photographer or beginner amateur like me!
