Awaken to Africa is the best!
5/5

My family and I went on safari with Awaken to Africa in August 2013. It was a life-changing 10 days and such an amazing experience. Grace booked everything for us and her suggestions were perfect. She asked great questions in order to get an idea of how we travel and what we like to do and made a perfect itinerary. Each camp was perfect and our guide, Justin, is amazing! Everything, from the visa process at the airport to heading back to JRO to depart, was easy and well planned. The safari itself was amazing and we were able to see a lot of animals including the wildebeest crossing the Mara river. Justin is very knowledgeable and very nice. He is a wonderful guide and I highly recommend him. I would definitely use Awaken to Africa again!

Why use another tour operator when you can experience the best - Paul and Inter-tropical Tours!
5/5

When I wanted to tour Uganda with my young son, a trusted friend suggested I call Paul Nangai at Inter-tropical Tours and Travel. We spent 2 weeks with Paul, touring his beautiful country, and it was one trip that my son and I will never forget. Through phone calls and emails, Paul spent a great deal of time planning for the perfect trip in the months leading up to our arrival in Kampala. Once in Uganda, Paul met us at the airport and personally took care of every detail of our stay. We toured the Nile River, hiked to Murchison Falls, went on a chimpanzee safari and a couple of big game safaris. We saw so many animals, from very large crocodiles, hippos and elephants to very small, colorful birds and absolutely everything in between. It was all so perfect! Ugandans are the most gracious people and we felt at home there. The lodges where we stayed ranged from simple and eco-friendly to extremely high end and we loved each one - all were unique. The food was amazing; Paul would often stop and buy different foods for us to try. I loved the grilled Nile perch. One of my son's favorite mornings included a ferry trip. He had never experienced a river crossing by ferry and loved the fact that Paul drove the van right onto the boat. Paul and I would spend evenings talking about his country, it's people and the animals that are a part of every day life for Ugandans. During those 2 weeks, we grew to love Uganda. It will always be special to both my son and me. Thank you, Paul, for teaching us about your country and the beautiful people who call it home. When my son is old enough, I will be returning to Uganda to take him on a mountain gorilla safari and I wouldn't dream of asking anyone other that you to plan the safari for me and to accompany us.

The best time we ever had on vacation
5/5

I have done safari and tribe tours with Shadows of Africa about a little less than a week ago and overall adventure turned out one of the best of our lives. We have been before to parks in South Africa, but nothing can be compared to vastness of Serengeti and uniqueness of Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara. Safari driver Anthony was amazing with all information and was able to answer all our questions during the trip and also gave as an insight of daily life of Tanzanian. Spent four days on safari with my family. A visit to Hadzabe tribe with local guide was also specially memorable as we were invited to have lunch with them and boys were trying the hunting with bow. All in all from start to the end of safari, all went well, Natasa and office staff are still in contact with us as we are still in Tanzania ending out trip on Zanzibar. Without a doubt if we return back, we choose Shadows of Africa again!

Awesome safari trip!
5/5

This is one of the best trips we ever had, and big thanks to Thale and Ryan (wild planet safari) for showing us South Africa!
South Africa is a beautiful country, and we got to see alot! In the national parks we saw the big five many times! Even saw hippos fighting, that was so cool! The service was always good, and these two guids knows everything! If you have a question i bet you $100 they will give you the correct answer! And Ryan(eagleeyes) will spot all the animal, although the animal is hidden far away! This whole trip was an amazing experience, and it's not the last time we're going with Wild Planet Safari on a trip! Thanks guys! :)

5/5

Thank you for everything, we had a wonderful 4 days safari in Tarangire national park, Serengeti national park and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide/driver Issac and our cook Ben were amazing. We saw almost all the animal we wanted to see except the black rhino, but it doesn't matter. Thanks to Northern Circuit Adventure for this memorable safari.

Kruger Park & Panorama route day tours
5/5

I use this Tour Operator to provide a Tourist Guiding service in the Kruger Park and Panorama route in the Mpumalanga & Limpopo provinces. Fun Time Tour services are excellent and our clients speaks highly of their guiding service. Barney is an ex-game ranger and registered Tourist Guide and knows the park well with its beautiful fauna & flora. The Panorama route is always a tourist destination not to be missed and Barney knows the area well and does this tour with no rushing from one attraction to the other.

For me to do the day tours in this part of South Africa is impossible as I am +- 480km away from the Kruger. Therefore, we use the services of Fun Time Tours and have experienced no problems at all. The vehicles they use are clean and the office service by Venishia is always friendly and punctual.

Thanks Guys
Henry Zeiler. Registered Tourist Guide GP1038.

Excellent Safari and Friendly Staff
5/5

My wife and I booked a 4 day budget safari through Jackpot Safaris to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. We had a fantastic experience with our guide Derek and exceptional cook Wazir. We really enjoyed our time in Tanzania and highly recommend using Jackpot Safaris if you are considering a future safari.
