Review about Zambia by Jeff S
Zambia is a bird watchers paradise and a great place for safari in any direction you travel. There is tones of untouched space to get away from the bustling city of Lusaka. All of the people are very friendly and Zambia has a great supply of knowledgeable and friendly safari guides.

Safari as its best. Benson was the best guide we could have!
As a group of 7 we had a safari for 4 days with transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport and to Haydom at the end. The tour was very well organized with a day in NgoroNgoro and 2 days in Serengeti. I talked with Benson about all the details from Germany before the trip started and everything worked perfect. He is a genius in communications, handling groups and let us having a really really good time. We missed nothing! He get a friend of us!

Fantastic Trip
Had a great 3 days with Kruger Flexi Tours. Everything was as expected or better - the vehicles, the food, the lodging - was all great. Dave is great at communicating prior to the trip, and went out of his way to accommodate us with our schedule. He made the trip so much more than just seeing animals - he made it personal and is a very fun guy to be with. Marc likewise is a great guide, and his knowledge and passion for the animals added so much to the trip. Would highly recommend them.

Excellent choice!
We chose the company for a safari (3 days) and a trip to Kilimanjaro (Marangu).
We were very contented with Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris, because...
... people were very friendly and we could ask many questions.
... the guides and porters took always cared for us, they were were looking after our health and well-being.
... the food was delicious.
... there were no problems in organisation.
... we could see many animals and had good days in Arusha NP, Tarangire NP and Lake Manyara.
... the price was good.
By the way: All of us reached Uhuru!

Great adventure, great escape, a desert dream that doesn't fade.
This was my third desert ride so I am truly hooked on the Namibia Horse Safaris. Desert dunes rocks ravines rivers and velvet plains, starscapes, fireside stories - horses with the biggest hearts, rose quartz and brown hyenas, places of wonder and imagination. Telane and Andrew top guides, horse people and great hosts. Gourmet meals courtesy of Lesley who kept his sense of humour even when i allowed my horse to roll next to the chuck wagon as he prepared lunch. Altogether a slick team that managed to make a lot of logistical work seem effortless. Just can't stop replaying desert days in my mind.

An awesome trip created by an awesome tour company!
This was our best vacation ever and Cuan & Gerald with African Ubuntu Safaris made that happen. Cuan was so detailed and available to answer my questions quickly. I had lots of questions about everything and anything and he always replied quickly and answered all my questions and eased my concerns. We spent a lot of time going back and forth planning what was best for our family. I feel like Cuan made the right suggestions based on our needs. He cared that he addressed our personal desires rather then just spitting out a basic tour template. Everything on the trip was planned out to the T. Everything went seamlessly and we always felt safe and comfortable. We had a long layover for our flight out of Johannesburg and Gerald met us at the airport and took us to lunch. This was so nice and we had a great visit with him & his wife. That is the kind of personal touches that make this company above the rest. I would highly recommend you use them for your tour company. I have already referred them to several of my friends. You will not regret a vacation to Africa--it was my dream vacation and I thank Cuan for making that dream come true!!!

Was awesom
Our group of 14 travelers recently returned from a 6 day/5 night safari in Tanzania with Tanzania Joy Tours. Although this is a relatively new company, the reviews we read were positive, so we thought we'd give them a try. From start to finish, they far exceeded our expectations. Emmanuel, our travel advisor, was superb in helping us plan our itinerary. He offered great suggestions on parks, accommodations, etc., and was extremely prompt and thorough in responding to our many questions and concerns. He was also very good in handling all the details and logistics involved in making travel arrangements for such a large group.
The safari itself was one of those "once in a lifetime" experiences. Our guides, Dan and Fred, were terrific! They worked hard from morning to night, enabling us to see amazing wildlife (including "the big five") close up. They were knowledgeable and great at answering our many questions. We were originally scheduled to visit Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro N/Ps. We had great visits at each of these, plus they squeezed in a memorable visit to Lake Manyara N/P as well.
Our accommodations were unique and fun, with staff at all of them going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well cared for. Arriving back from safari, we were always met with cool towels to clean our dusty faces, beverages, and hot water carried to our tents for some unforgettable showers. Campfires at night and wildlife wandering through the campsite at sunrise added to the experience.
Transportation (safari vehicles, airlines, and transfers) worked like clockwork and were very comfortable. Several in our group commented that they'd never been on a trip that went so smoothly.
Thanks to the staff at Tanzania Joy Tours, our safari was a amazing experience/adventure. Although many of their safari groups are smaller than ours, they very capably managed our large group. They offer a great experience at a reasonable price. Based on our experience, I strongly encourage you to give them a try
