A Journey of a Lifetime with Earthwings Tours
Our recent experience with Martin and Reuben of Earthwings Tours was nothing short of magical. From the moment they greeted us at the airport, we instantly felt that we were in exceptionally capable hands. They were not just our guides, but our trusted companions on a journey that unveiled the true wonder of Kenya.
Throughout our tour, Martin and Reuben were with us every step of the way—always kind, remarkably patient, and passionately eager to share every bit of the country’s breathtaking beauty. Whether it was spotting the dazzling array of birds, marveling at zebras crossing the plains, or witnessing the majestic presence of giraffes, wildebeests, gazelles, buffaloes, and even the elusive big cats, they ensured we didn’t miss a single moment.
They took us through the stunning landscapes of Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and the iconic “spotted plains” of Maasai Mara, each destination more captivating than the last. In Maasai Mara, they introduced us to the secret, untamed corners where wildlife flourishes—a raw, living museum of nature where every creature thrives and survives against the odds. Their in-depth explanations of animal behaviors and the fascinating stories of lion and cheetah families, shared from years of intimate observation, enriched our understanding and deepened our respect for the natural world.
Every aspect of our trip was carefully curated, from selecting the most enchanting accommodations to enjoying the yummiest, most soul-satisfying meals. They managed every detail with a level of care that made traveling with a group—including seven adults and two children—a seamless, joyous experience. Their exceptional way with children ensured that even the youngest members of our group were engaged, curious, and delighted by the magic surrounding us.
As we watched the last sunset over Maasai Mara, we felt a bittersweet farewell knowing that we had witnessed one of the most beautiful parts of this planet. The journey was nothing less than life-changing—a trip filled with unforgettable memories, genuine kindness, and heartfelt adventures that have left us longing to return.
Huge thanks to Martin and Reuben for orchestrating the best trip of our lives. Their passion for Kenya and its wildlife turned our adventure into a treasure trove of stories, laughter, and genuine human connection. We can’t wait to come back and experience their extraordinary world once again!

Responsible, fun, comfortable, making for an unforgettable trip
From the start of the consultation and booking, a serious and patient response was provided, with a reasonable itinerary that was fulfilling but not particularly exhausting. It offers great value for money, and the guide is also very experienced, showing us many animals.
Knowledgeable
Stanley was super enthusiastic and seemed so dedicated to ensuring we saw the animals we wanted to see and have the best experience we could have. He knew so much about every animal and had a real eye for spotting. Overall the perfect safari experience.

We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari journey with Kubwa Five Safaris, and we were thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Our guide, Charles, provided exceptional service, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip.

Absolutely Fantastic-
We spent a wonderful day at Kruger Park with Stanley as our fantastic guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharing insightful information about all the animals we encountered, from a tortoise (who knew) to the wonderful elephants.
Stanley is professional, funny and friendly. He took time to allow us to take photos and just enjoy the experience, not moving on until we were ready, Stanley really went the extra mile, liaising with others in the park to make sure we were aware of other sitings! This meant we were lucky enough to see elephants, wildebeest, giraffes, lions, both male and female, a hippo, zebras, impalas, monkeys, warthogs, some beautiful birds and of course the hedgehog…

A life-changing experience — exceptional service from start to finish
From the moment my sister and I decided to plan this trip, we knew we were in a bit of a rush. We had tight timelines, limited availability, and a strong desire to make it all happen — but we also had very little time to plan. That’s when Matt from Tapestry of Africa stepped in, and everything changed.
Matt was incredibly responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us build the experience we dreamed of. He answered every question — quickly and clearly — and worked with us to design a 9-day itinerary that fit our budget while still delivering the magic we were hoping for. Within days, we had a full plan covering both Safari in Tanzania and time in Zanzibar.
We felt supported, understood, and completely taken care of — not just during the planning phase, but all the way through the trip. Every transfer, every lodge, every guide exceeded our expectations. It’s rare to come across this level of service, and we’re honestly so grateful. What could have been a stressful rush turned into one of the most seamless and rewarding travel experiences we’ve had.
Once the safari began, things only got better. From day one, our guide Yudah made us feel incredibly comfortable and safe — and that was key. Thanks to his warm presence and professionalism, we were able to build a great connection and fully enjoy every moment of the journey. Everything felt smooth, well-paced, and thoughtfully handled.
As the days went by, the experience kept getting more and more exciting. We visited several parks, and with each one, the sightings became more impressive. We saw an incredible variety of animals — often from just a few meters away — and it honestly felt surreal. The closeness to wildlife was breathtaking and something we’ll never forget.
What truly made it exceptional was Yudah’s dedication and passion. He went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t just “see animals,” but that we saw the best of them, in the best possible way. He was constantly scanning the landscape, always giving his best to help us find every animal on our list and position the vehicle just right so we could take the perfect photos. His knowledge, energy, and commitment added so much value to the trip — it was unforgettable
After the excitement of the safari, we traveled to Zanzibar, where we had the chance to slow down and unwind. We stayed in a beautiful and comfortable hotel with lovely facilities, and we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. It was the perfect way to end such an intense and emotional journey — resting by the sea, soaking in the views, and reflecting on everything we had experienced.
Throughout the entire trip, we felt genuinely supported and cared for. Not only by Matt, who set everything up so efficiently and Yudah during the Safari, but also by Hilda, who was present every step of the way. From the planning phase to the post-travel follow-up, she was checking in to make sure we had arrived safely, were well prepared, and were enjoying every moment. It made a big difference to know we were not alone — we always felt accompanied and in the best hands.
To Matt, Yudah, Hilda, and the entire Tapestry of Africa team: thank you. You created something that went far beyond a holiday. You gave us an experience we’ll carry with us forever.

Fantastic!
Working with Ntanda Ventures was an absolute pleasure. Sonja curated the perfect safari experience for us in Zambia, despite the limited time and budget we had to work with. She immediately understood our needs and crafted an itinerary that far exceeded our expectations. From the moment I reached out, I felt completely supported—Sonja was exceptionally responsive, flexible, and attentive to every detail.
The lodge she recommended was incredible, and our guide made sure every moment was unforgettable. I truly can't thank Sonja and the Ntanda Ventures team enough. This was one of the most memorable adventures of my life!

Two combined best Safaris
A visit to Hwange National Park and Full Day Chobe Trip is a must activity to do when you visit Victoria Falls Zimbabwe. The first Safari we took was full day Hwange Trip and its about 2hrs 30mins to reach that side because the road is very bad, lot of potholes. Thanks to Delight, he was a good and knowledgeable driver. l wish we had planned an overnight trip because the park is too big and has a lot to see one day is not enough seriously. Our safari guide was very professional, kind and knowledgeable about flora and fauna. We saw a lot of elephants, kudus, zebra, l cant mention all but l promise you it was the best safari. The most interesting part about this tour is we saw some lions 10meters away from a jeep, it was resting after the kill.
The chobe day trip is another unique safari l experienced when l visit Victoria Falls. lmagine having a 4x4 jeep safari then a boat safari on the same day and on both you will see some animals. Matthews picks us up at the hotel at 0710hrs and do the the handover to our driver the big guy l forget his name. We drive to Kazungula do the boarder process and get into our jeep to Chobe national park. The safari was good we also see some lions maybe 5 of them and buffalo. We had our buffet lunch it was delicious, we do enjoy it. After lunch to went on a cruise safari we saw some crocodile on the river banks of the river, elephants swimming in the chobe river and some buffalo drinking water. That was the best moments l have on this safari.
Words cant express all the happiness that Fuhara Safaris gave me . l enjoyed my whole trip and they are are must do activities such as guided tour of the Falls, sunset cruise either standard or luxury you will enjou either, boma dinner drum show and shopping around their small town.
l do recommend them so much.
