An excellent well organized unforgettable experience
Everything starts with the base. And the base is formed by Allan and Coosje. Reliable, well organized, caring and flexible. And this is reflected on the rest of the personnel.
More than a recommendation. We have seen what we wanted to see, we have eaten what we liked and we slept with the zebra's as our guards next to our tent.

Wildebeest went above and beyond, we were extremely happy with our trip
Naoh was easy to communicate with to design our trip. He provided great options for us. Our trip was a total of 21 days. We spent about two weeks in Kenya and one week in Tanzania. We had a total of 4 driver/guides. While all were good, Dennis stood out. He was enthusiastic and engaged in the pursuit of animals to see. He was attentive to the radio in the Land cruiser so we knew where to go for sitings. He was excellent at positioning our truck for a good view AND good lighting for photos while being polite to other tourists. On the few occasions when there were a lot of trucks at a site he did a great job of not getting us blocked in and knew when to leave so we were not stuck there. He had a great rapport with other guides so his information was up to date. When you are out there in the parks having a guide like Dennis makes all the difference in what you see. You can tell he personally cares about the animals and the parks. He has his own digital camara and really got into the sites with us. He was sensitive to how long WE wanted to linger, but also good at helping us know that we should stay or keep looking. His knowledge of the animals and their likely next move kept us in the best positions for viewing. Our experience was always Dennis's top priority. He is full of information about the animals and very good at birds. Just when you don't think there is anything to see, he points out a pair of vultures perched together. We talked to other tourists at the lodges and I got the feelings some of the guides from other companies were just not that great. They didn't seem to see as much in the same two or three hours that we did. We highly recommend Wildebeest and their crew. Thank you for a great experience.

Wild Planet Safari delivered a once in a lifetime experience
I opted for a private safari for the 3 of us. After some fumbling on my part with dates and pick up points, Wild Planet Safari arranged a great itinerary for us. They even deducted some money from the bill because we started at one of the Kruger's airports rather than from Johannesburg. Any email was replied to promptly. They provided information about the weather, what is advisable to wear and what to expect when on safari. They also arranged for a bush walk and a night drive for us in the 2 resorts we stayed on. Raphael - the safari guide (or is it spelt Raphaele?) - was a great guide, patient, attentive and really good at spotting all kinds of animals as well as being personable and fun to be with. He also knew an awful lot about the animals and birds in Kruger. We loved him and are really grateful to him for enhancing our experience!

Great Plan, Great Guide-Driver & Wonderful Experience
We chose Tanzania Roadside Expeditions because the staff were so prompt, informative, patient and flexible as we were planning a nine-day Safari. We got a great guide, Laurian, who was so knowledgeable, flexible, funny and nice. One's guide is critical and we feel so lucky to have gotten Laurian as the three of us (my husband, Laurian, and I) were together for many hours.
We saw the big 5 (Lions, Elephants, Rhinos, Leopards, and Buffalos) the wildebeests crossing the Mara, three pairs of lions mating, a mama and baby leopard, and amazing birdlife, including a Kori Bustard with its necked ballooned.
We also loved the visit to two amazing tribes near Lake Eyasi -- could have spent even more time exploring around there!

Amazing
Thanks to Spirit of Kilimanjaro and their fantastic team. We booked a 7 day private tour and the guides Rama, Tuliza and the rest of the crew took great care of us and guided us to the top. Every meals were delicious and all 10 members(Rama/Tuliza, Chef, waiter and 6 porters) were very kind and took care of us professionally. The service from the porter team was also exceptional. I picked Spirit of Kilimanjaro for my hike because I found they had a very competitive price for the hike as well as excellent reviews.
William well cordinated our whole tours including the transfer from and to the Kenya’s border.

Best Tour Operator
We really enjoyed our safari trip and stayed at Sabi River Sun that organised by Norman from Nhlala Travel. Norman provided the best services, making sure we were being looked after. And the private travel from Tambo Airport to Sabi River Sun is a big plus!! I would recommend anyone that needs to book their safari trip at Kruger Park to book with Norman. The price is affordable, the tour is amazing and the operator is very realible - 5stars.

Well organized Trip !
A half day trip well spent in Nairobi National park. The best part is our guide Basil who was very knowledgeable and helped us spot the Big 5.
Sure I will book with Roju safari updates again!
