Breath taking experience!
Booked this tour without knowing a whole lot about safaris! We are so glad we went with Makini Tanzania Expedition and not another company! They were able to customize the accommodations and safari to fit our budget. We wanted to include a hot air balloon tour during our safari and Naomi made sure to fit it within our budget! Our tour guides Calvin and Dickson were fun and personable! They made us feel safe and always made sure we were having a good time!
Makini staff was extremely responsible at all hours of the day before and during the safari!
During the safari we told our guide the animals we hoped to see and he made sure it happened!
We highly suggest Makini to everyone!

Fantastic experience in Namibia with Blue Crane Safaris
Excellent service all round - couldn’t recommend them highly enough. From initial communications with Derek who helped to advise us through a suggested itinerary and route, was accommodating to our budget, happy to make any changes and provide alternatives when asked, and provided ongoing communications and information up until our departure date. The trip itself was fantastic - our guide Frank could not have been more knowledgeable, kind and helpful, and certainly contributed to make our holiday such a memorable experience. Namibia itself is a lovely country. Thank you Blue Crane Safaris!

Amazing Experience Highly Recommend
We did a 5 day mobile safari and it was absolutely amazing. We were picked up by our guide, Isa, for the trip and started right off the bat on the way to the campsite. The 2 campsites were great for both practicality and scenery. The staff at the campsite was amazing and totally attentive to every need. Food that was served was top notch.
The game drives each day were more than we expected. Isa’s knowledge of the animals and terrain was top notch, knowing where and when to go to certain places of the parks.
I can’t recommend this company enough to anyone looking to do a mobile safari throughout Botswana. The people and everything else are top notch and again I would recommend them a thousand times over.

Isa was friendly, funny, and incredibly professional, making the experience both informative and fun
This safari was a truly magical experience that I would recommend to everyone. Over five days we were immersed in adventure, excitement, and endless fun. We encountered an incredible variety of wildlife, including countless bird species that Isa, our guide, knew everything about. We were lucky enough to see three different lion prides one of all females with cubs that Isa had witnessed being born! We also saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, African wild dogs, hyenas, and even animals I’d never heard of before. This was an unforgettable journey that everyone should experience at least once!

Isa’s knowledge of the land and wildlife was impressive,Everything promised was delivered. I would recommend extremely wild safaris to everyone I know.

Hooves for the win!
We recently booked an intense 3-day trip to Bwindi Uganda to trek with gorillas. It’s something l’ll never forget. The highlight, of course, was coming face-to-face with a family of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat but Hooves of Africa balanced that intense trek with stunning and relaxing accommodation in the Ugandan mountain forest and a calm lake, which were really nice. One required a boat to access.
Meals were well-prepared, and the staff were warm and attentive to our separate dietary requirements which were met without fuss.
Our guide was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his country and local city, sharing fascinating insights about the their culture and the nature around the area. He was very friendly, welcoming and keen to look after us. Also a very talented photographer!
The gorilla trek itself was challenging, with uneven terrain and dense vegetation, but the experience was well worth the effort. Proper footwear (hiking boots) is essential. I appreciated that the group sizes were small, which made it less disruptive to the wildlife. Unfortunately, the 7m distance restriction was not respected by all tourists in the group. I believe the guards could be more strict about it but ultimately that’s not the responsibility of Hooves of Africa, rather the national park rangers.
Overall, this safari struck a perfect balance between adventure, relaxation and ecotourism. Highly recommend it for nature lovers and those seeking a deeper connection with wildlife.

Wonderful experience
Everything was perfect, communicating with Iddy was easy and fluid since the beginning, we are so happy with the hotels, the food (we really appreciate that we had good meals and not just boxes with cold sandwiches), the game drives.. We had a really good time with Regi, he was really the perfect guide and he did his best so that we have an amazing experience! He is so passionate about nature and we learned a lot with him..
So thank you for everything!
