If I had one operator to choose it would be Paul.
Paul was my driver who took me to Tandala Tent Camp near Ruaha National Park. I found Paul extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the region we were driving through. He knew about the people, their way of life, and if something came up that he thought was interesting or you thought was interesting he would stop to make sure you understood whatever it was that you wanted to see. Twice on our trip he stopped to show us interesting wildlife along the way. And his knowledge of birds astounded me. Be it sound or live bird he knew what it was. His love of helping to protect the wildlife of Africa is to be commended. When I decide to go back I will contact Paul to help me with my safari. He told me before I left to go home that he would make sure things would be arranged with whatever I needed. I would recommend Paul services to anyone that wanted to have a fabulous time on safari in Africa. As a matter of fact, I have told some of my friends that if they ever decide to go on safari that I have someone they should contact. That person would be Paul Tickner.

competent and friendly care while watching the best places in Namibia
Jeżeli do Namibii to koniecznie z Wild Wind Safari. Philip zorganizował dla naszej 7 osobowej grupy fantastyczną wyprawę , taką jaka sobie wymarzyliśmy. Spaliśmy w domkach i pod namiotami, jedliśmy w restauracjach i grilowaliśmy przy ognisku (oczywiście dziczyznę !). Wszędzie było nam cudownie: miejsca bardzo ciekawe, a noclegi jak w "Pożegnaniu z Afryką". Nigdy nie zapomnę "spektaklu" wschodu słońca odsłaniającego piękne rude wydmy koło Sossuvlai , czy też wodospadu Epupa, potężnego i zadziwiającego kolorami o zachodzie, rewelacja! W Etosha Parku widzieliśmy dosłownie wszystkie gatunki zwierząt: lwy , nosorożce, gepardy itd i to dzięki doświadczeniu Philipa , który widział i słyszał wszystko. Jeszcze raz szczerze polecam wyjazd z Philipem.On kocha to co robi , kocha kraj , w którym mieszka i chce się tym podzielić i dlatego to wyprawa była tak udana.

Amazing Zanzibar
We just returned from a week's stay in North Zanzibar (Nungwi), we stayed at the Z hotel. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and I even managed to start my PADI course, the restaurant Saruche serves delicious food and the roof top cocktail bar is out of this world. Wish we could have stayed longer, well there is always a next time.

A must with Bernhard Bekker
I am a photographer first and foremost, I met Bernhard Bekker some 5 Years ago, every time I Visit the Kruger, I drop Bernhard an email. Bernhard goes out of his way for me to get the shot and ensures the sun is in the right place. From great Sunrise shots to game and Sunsets. Pick the Animal you would like to photograph and Bernard will find it traveling a hundred Kilomaters if Neccessary, his bird knowledge is exceptional and is able to play you the exact song or chirps on his phone,sometimes the birds respond in Song. This is a truly amazing experience! And if after reviewing shots utilizing the incorrect white Balance or the shot is not sharp Bernard will turn around and go back. Sometimes he will patiently wait for 20 vehicles to move so you can get the shot or see that leopard. Nothing is a burden for Berhard, who is a well mannered gent, respect is earned and Bernard has my utmost respect with his years of Knowledge and stories he is able to relate. Most important is he is able to predict Animal behavior and keep you safe during your safari. That to me is the most important aspect to any Safari! I will certainly utilize Bernhard in the future and highly recommend him. Should you require memories Bernhard will take photos for you too, Do tip him for the Photos as Bernhard is required to purchase his own equipment each year and do take a Fast SD card for him to record your Safari.

The Malcolm & Simba 4x4 Tours and Safaris experience
Thank you Malcolm (the best expeditioner and tour guide of the South of Africa) for putting together this incredible trip, from camping in the wild in Hganwe and navigating the Chobe river in Botswana to Helicopter rides and Bungee Jumping over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, we never thought we would have enjoyed such a good time, great barbecue and infinite amount of laughs. At the end of some trips you just want to go home and others you want to do them all over again, this is one of those. Thank you for everything and especially for the Malcolm Effect!

I had my fair share in traveling
How can I squeeze all the great experiences into that small place ?
My expectation was high - very high. As a child Africa were in my dream destination and now I'm 57.
My friend and I after many mounts of planning decided on African Ubuntu Safaris.
E-mails, phone calls went back and ford and Cuan "worked for his money".
My friend and I are photographers there for it was important where and when.
Eventually we finalized everything and arrived in Der Salam Tanzania - that is where all the positive surprise started....
I could wright a short assay and itemize each service experience - but let me just say this I had my fair share in traveling but African Ubuntu Safaris surprised me every step in a good way and big time !!! Will going with those guys again ? - you bet !!!

An amazing trip
I chose Focus in Africa to climb Kili and for a 4 day Safari and was extremely satisfied.
I climbed on my own with Speight as my guide. He was great and supported me all the way and espiecially on the last 7 hours to the summit, not letting me give up. We arrived in time for the sunrise, was fabulous.
I had also 4 porters and one cook, Johnny managed to prepare me the most excellent fresh food even with conditions that aren't easy, you have more than enough to keep you going on the hill. They were an excellent, professional team for a very good price.
For the safari, we were a group of 4 with Hermann as guide and William as cook. Again, it was excellent. Hermann always manages to spot the animals and so we all came back with beautiful memories. William is an excellent cook and you are always looking forward to the next meal with him.
So don't hesitate, Focus in Africa was for me the best !!

Thanks to Wonderland Tours
Before I left, friends and family told me this could be the trip of a lifetime. Thanks to Wonderland Tours, it was. Their excellence was apparent from the start, with swift answers to all our questions. The vehicle was better than any others we saw. Our guide was knowledgeable and as interested in what we were seeing as we were, even taking his own photos. Perhaps most importantly, they included unique, non-commercialized cultural experiences: a morning hunt with the bushmen, and a day with a Maasai family still living in the old ways.
