Safari Source: a friendly, knowledgeable and reliable source
I first contacted Monika Korn in 2010 when she worked for another company.
it was my first trip to Zimbabwe and Africa. Not knowing anything about
safaris I left it up to her to do all the bookings. She put me up with Stretch
Ferreira at Goliath and African Bush Camps at Kanga and I haven't looked
back since. I had such a wonderful time, made real friends (we still get
together on safari) that I have hust wound up my 10th safati in 4 years. Whether
it's putting together a wildlife safari or a cultural tour in Southern Africa
Monika knows the most knowledgeable and interesting people to book you
with. At Matopos and Bulawayo we got Ian Harmer and Rob Burrett, both native
grown raconteurs steeped in th wildlife and history of the area.
Monika made sure we departed and arrived safely any time she was involved
in the booking of our transfers. When our bus from Bulawayo to Harare was delayed she waited till we got on to ensure we left safely. And since the bus was to arrive in Harare
late at night she called ahead to make sure we were greeted on arrival and that a hot meal
was ready as she figured we'd be hungry after a 6 hour bus trip and restaurants would be
closed. For southern Africa The Safari Source is a company you can trust to get things done right.

I Simply Can't Wait for My Next Trip with Born Free!
I've dreamed about taking an African safari for years and took a lot to time researching the areas and places I wanted to visit. Thinking that I could package the whole trip together myself, I spent hours pouring over web site reviews and the multitude of aspects (time of year, area, countries, operators, etc.) needed to make decisions. I was overwhelmed. That's when Born Free came into the picture. I spoke to Alana and explained exactly what I wanted and the comfort level I wanted to travel. I'm a bit more rugged while my husband likes the finer things in life. She customized a tour within our specified budget specifically addressing all of the things we wanted to see and how we wanted to see them. I knew the cost of most things as I did the homework first, and Born Free was extremely reasonable! But even better, she provided her expertise about the various countries and seasons, when to go and when not to go, how to get there, etc. She is a wealth of information. Melissa who works with Alana at Born Free was amazing at keeping us posted on when to do certain things (visas), creating our tight itinerary, and notifying us of any changes. They prepared a great little document package for the trip. While I felt taken care of pre-trip, I really felt taken care of throughout the entire trip! We had fantastic guides, bright, insightful and full of experience. The name Born Free helped us get into restaurants and sights as I realized once I was there that they are well connected. We were met at the airport each time we landed (we did Rwanda and Kenya) which made us feel very safe as let's face it, we're far from home. The accommodations were exactly what we wanted, clean, comfortable, excellent service, and food. The safari itself was simply a dream from the animals to the lush accommodations to the people that took care of us. I will definitely recommend Born Free to anyone wanting an amazing trip to Africa. She keeps your budget in mind and has the know how to piece it all together at a reasonable price. I simply can't wait for my next trip with Born Free....

A great experience which my wife and I will always cherish
Faustin helped my wife and I plan our honey moon in Tanzania. He pretty much helped us organize the whole trip starting with the safari in Mikumi Nation Park all the way to the two weeks we spent on the island of Zanzibar.
From the moment we landed in Dar es Salaam Faustin took care of everything: he took us from the airport and provided us with a car and driver who took us to Mikumi National Park. When we arrived at the resort, everything ready for us: our room with 3 meals a day; a car and guide in each day for just my wife and I.
After the 3 day safari, which was amazing, the driver took us back to Dar es Salam and Faustin waiting for us at the ferry station. He was kind enough to stand in line at the ticket queue so that we could get some rest.
Once again, when we arrived on the island of Zanziber, everything was ready for us: rooms at hotels were already booked, drivers were waiting for us. We had tour guides reserved where ever we went: Stone Town, Prison Island, Spices Plantation, Joziani Forrest and I'm sure that there are other places which I don't recall at this very moment.
When it was all said and done, Faustin safely escorted us back to the Airport in Dar es Salaam.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience and a great vacation which Faustin helped us plan and I would recommend his services with full confidence.

Climb Kilimanjaro with Focus In Africa
Amazing trip.....having climbed several mountains on several trips I was truly amazed by the service, care and expertise I got from Ficus in Africa. Booked them on line and response was immediate. Everything worked like clockwork. the guide Charles smiled all the way through the trip and gave me all the confidence I needed on summit day.

Excellent, well organized 6-day tent safari with Northern Circuit Adventures
We booked in advance a 6-day safari, including Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater.
Communication/service:
Communication with Mike was fast, informative and very friendly. Example: We arrived in Arusha and decided to make an one-day safari in Arusha National Park. We called Mike for an offer, met him few hours later and he organized a perfect one-day Arusha National Park trip for us within minutes.
Safari tour:
The safari tour itself was incredible, it was really worth it. The tour was perfectly organized, the driver informed us very well about all the different animals and we had a lot of fun on the tour. He was very friendly and patient when we took all the photos.
Our chef Mr. D(elicious) cooked very well and set up the tents.
Conclusion:
Outstanding organisation, good value for money, beautiful safari tour, delicious food.
We would absolutely recommend booking with Nothern Circuit Safari.

Fantastic Trip
Fantastic trip with 19 people, the Focus in Africa team of porters and Guides made it a memorable and successful ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. The team looked after us and encouraged us all the way up and got us home safe. Could not of asked for a better team.

Highly recommended
After climbing Kilimanjaro with Focus In Africa this week we were really looking forward to the safari on our last day before travelling home. Everyone enjoyed the day, our guide, Herman, was super friendly and very knowledgable about the national park. Whilst everyone was looking forward to the safari it actually exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend.

Recommend them to my friends
Booked our Kilimanjaro trip through a recommendation from a friend who had used Focus in Africa in August. I can now recommend them to my friends. Nelson, the chap who heads the company has fantastic communication skills including using Whatsapp. He always replied to our messages,is very friendly and knowledgeable.
The crew on the climb met all our needs and were very patient and friendly. Our guide was Charles, a very patient and calm chap. He was the reason we were successful in the climb.

Interesting and satisfying
I had an interesting budget safari for 2 days to Masai Mara which turned to be a perfect tour destination. I had no much time for my safari but I had a great experience altogether. My safari guide was well conversant with the place and I learnt a lot. Thank you.
