Incredible experience with Muza in Hwange and Vic Falls
Myself and two friends booked a 5 day Hwange and Vic Falls tour in January. One member of our group could only stay for 4 days and Archie was great about making a change to the itinerary so we could go to Hwange first then to Vic Falls (which was the opposite of the traditional itinerary). Pick up at the airport was seamless; our guide Muza was there right after landing to pick us up and drive us to Hwange National Park. The entire experience around Hwange was excellent. We got lucky on our game drive and saw many elephants despite it being the wet season. Our accommodations at Miombo was very comfortable and clean. The home cooked meals at Miombo were phenomenal! In Vic Falls, our accommodations very quite nice and the room even had A/C! The dinner cruise on the Zambezi was a beautiful experience.
All in all, we ate really well during the 5 days, all included activities were thoughtfully planned out and enjoyable, and most of all, our guide Muza was phenomenal. I felt like the tour was a great value for money and the whole experience ran seamlessly. Africa Uncovered Safaris is a relatively young company but Muza has 15+ years of experience as a guide and Archie was responsive via email and very accommodating. I would definitely book through them again and recommend all friends/family to do the same!

Exceptional team and an unforgettable Safari adventure!
From Costa Rica, we chose Shanjoy Tours for our “Safari Moon,” and what a great choice it was.
Without a doubt, what makes them stand out is their wonderful team. We are incredibly grateful to Patrick, who guided us from day one with the best options to make our trip unforgettable. He even joined us for a farewell breakfast, which we’ll always remember.
Thank you, Merten, for being available at all times to kindly address our questions and accommodate everything we asked for.
We are especially thankful to Rio and Erick, our amazing guides. We spent many wonderful hours with them and learned so much from both. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable and safe and for showing us so many animals! Last but not least, thank you to Lilian, who accompanied and supported us during an important part of our safari.
It was a beautiful journey from start to finish, with excellent tour, transportation, and accommodation choices. Don’t hesitate to book with Shanjoy to enjoy a safe, beautiful, and thrilling experience.

professional
We contacted Tanzania Horizon Safaris for a Kilimanjaro climb with a female guide, as well as a 4-day customized tour itinerary. The communication was efficient and prompt from the start and all requests were accommodated. The entire trip went swimmingly without a glitch, and most aspects (pickup, lodging quality, food, professionalism) exceeded my expectations.
Props to our female mountain guide, Josephine, for being a star throughout. Special thanks to Colman and Dennis for their help on summit night. Isaya, David, Johnny, Barakeli and Douglas also deserve special mention for their efforts and kindness. Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to all the other hardworking porters for making this journey possible at all, and for making it a memorable and wholesome experience for us.

Jacqueline who organized our trekking and Barrack were both super efficient and friendly.
The gorilla trekking was an unusual an unforgettable experience. The walk has some rough patches so come prepared with good boots and protective clothing. But the likelhood of finding gorillas with a good ranger is high and if you are lucky with the weather it is definitely worth the cost

A unique and enriching safari experience.
We explored the wildlife in Kenya with Nashibe Adventures. We start to Sibiloi National Park gave us a fascinating insight into Kenya's prehistoric past. Our guide us through the park's archaeological sites and the shores of Lake Turkana. We saw crocodiles and hippos, and the sheer remoteness of the area made it feel like we were discovering a hidden gem. A unique and enriching safari experience.

Fantastic, communicative, excellent service
I cannot say enough positive things about Lion King Safaris. They were very excellent with communication and quickly responded even without last minute booking. The pricing inclusive driver, boarding, food, park entry fees was very reasonable. All of the places that that reserved for overnight stays were very with good if not excellent accommodations and food- especially at Nyota and Kawaha. After the safari ended, they even organized and accommodated a last minute trek to Ol Doinyo Lengai in 24 hours which was fantastic.
Big thanks to the driver/guide Steven. Having an experienced driver like Steven W. was instrumental in how enjoyable the trip was. Steven has been driving for years so he has a network of colleagues who he would communicate with or he just knew where to go to see that most animals and avoid crowds. In once day were saw 2 prides with several lions close up, as well as a lioness and her 5 cubs, a crossing with 25 elephants and a plethora of giraffes. All in just one day. We saw several leopards including 2 one day. He would drive and constantly scan the horizon and what appeared to be a rock turned out to be a rhino- it was impressive.
Having an experienced also paid off in ways were not obvious at first but became apparent during the trip. Several times, we had to stop and Steven had to assist younger, less experienced drivers with their vehicles so that they and their passengers get back on the safaris. We saw other, less seasoned drivers stuck in the mud with their passengers because they took the wrong path. After seeing these incidents, it was reassuring to have a veteran like Steven.
Overall, it was an amazing trip. I have been telling everyone I know how great the trip was. Looking forward to coming back again someday.

An unforgettable safari of a lifetime
Tazama Africa Holidays was everything I’d hoped for and more. As a solo female traveler for this trip, I felt safe and cared for from the time I was picked up by my knowledgeable guide, Fred, to my departure at the end of the Safari.
Tazama Africa Holidays provided a once in a lifetime experience I hope to experience again! I saw more wild animals than I ever had before, and learned so much from my guide, Fred. I even saw female lions chasing away male lions to protect their cubs, an experience that cannot be replicated. Fred knew exactly where to go to see the animals and we even came face to face with a rhino that was crossing the road.
I would highly recommend Tazama Africa Holidays to anyone looking for a premium safari adventure.

Amazing Sarafi Experience - Beyond my wildest dreams
Our safari experience October 2024 was amazing. The time w/ James was beyond all my expectations. He is so knowledgeable about the animals and I learned so much. It was way beyond just viewing - but 100% educational. About how the animals interact, care for each other, mate, stay in families or not etc. James has so much soul and is so passionate about his work and sharing his knowledge with those in his jeep. I can’t recommend James enough - I feel so lucky that we landed with him as our safari guide! You will be so happy if you book your Safari with James at Wild Portrait Safaris!
