Exceptional Operator - from start to finish, Brenda and her team were exemplary.
5/5

In short: we could not have wished for a more wonderful experience.

From start to finish, we felt well cared for and supported as we navigated through the planning and all of the steps. Brenda went above and beyond to help us navigate some unexpected and challenging personal circumstances before our trip started, and we are eternally grateful for her kindness. We were slightly nervous about the safari due to the ages of our children and Brenda helped us design the perfect experience for our family. She is truly incredible and we felt so fortunate to work with her!

Our safari driver, Ben, was knowledgable and patient - he seemed to know where animals were effortlessly and we were thrilled with the variety, number and close proximity of animals that we encountered. If traveling with children, we do recommend having children's activities on the drives (MadLibs and kindles, etc.) that helped pass time between animal sightings. The meals were delicious and nutritious, accommodations comfortable and relaxing, and we are so pleased with the professional photos that we had taken to remember our incredible safari experience.

After our safari, we spent time relaxing in Zanzibar swimming with dolphins, learning about the unique history of the island and enjoying plentiful seafood with excellent guides and accommodation.

If we could give our experience more than five stars, we would!

South Africa is beautiful, wounded, and full of wildlife.
Overall rating
5/5

We loved South Africa overall. It is a beautiful country, with dramatic scenery, excellent wildlife viewing, interesting history, friendly people, and some of the best food we have had anywhere outside of France. It was also surprisingly affordable compared with many other places we have visited, especially considering the quality of the food, lodging, and experiences.
The wildlife viewing was unforgettable. Seeing animals like elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalo, leopard, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, zebra, and many antelope species in the landscape itself was extraordinary. The scenery was also memorable, from the Panorama Route and Blyde River Canyon to the waterfalls, mountains, rivers, and open bush. The weather during our visit was also excellent, with cool mornings and comfortable days. Our accommodations were very good throughout the trip.

The only thing I would say is that South Africa can feel a little intimidating from a safety perspective. There are electric fences, barbed wire, private security, and frequent warnings about robberies in many places, which can make the country feel more dangerous than other places. That said, the people we met were friendly and welcoming, and we had a wonderful experience.

This was a well organized, lovely safari.
5/5

Indigo Safaris is an excellent organized operation. Nelia is the person I dealt with and she was wonderful. Always helpful and patient. The lodge we stayed at in Etosha was quirky and fun with great food. Our safari driver was Nadia and she was superb. I can’t recommend her enough. This was the best experience.

Truly amazing company to deal with offering memories for a lifetime
5/5

Outstanding service and communication throughout from Emma at Sunset Adventure Safari. Our family of 5 had the trip of a lifetime and have already recommended this company to many of our friends. Emma was always quick to respond to any of of multiple queries and tailored our safari specifically to our needs. They have a small number of their own vehicles and handpicked drivers. Ours (Abraham) was the kindest and most knowledgeable guide with incredible life story so far! He surpassed all our expectations in delivering a truly unforgettable safari with so many close encounters! The pricing was really competitive a far cheaper than any UK offerings. You have a fabulous team and cannot recommend you guys enough. Thank you for exceeding our expectations and giving us the most special memories!

Best safari guide ever
5/5

Best safari guide ever! 🐘❤️
I honestly don’t know where to start when it comes to Amaniel. He organized everything for us exactly as we asked, and then went above and beyond to do so much more.
He is one of the kindest and most amazing people we have ever met. From the moment he picked us up at the airport, he made us feel completely safe and comfortable. We spent all our days with him without worrying about anything. We trusted him so much that we didn’t even know what day we were leaving — and when he told us that we had another day of safari, we went crazy with excitement! 😂
The safari experience was beyond amazing, and that is largely thanks to Amaniel and his driver, Ema. They both gave their absolute best to make our experience unforgettable. We saw all the animals we were hoping to see, and at no point did we feel unsafe. The conversations, the laughter, and all the little moments during the safari made the whole experience even more special.
Amaniel took care of everything, right down to the smallest detail. He truly did so much for us, and we appreciate it more than words can say.
He is not just an amazing safari guide — he became a friend and will always have a special place in our hearts. ❤️
Thank you for everything, Amaniel! You will always have friends in Cyprus! 🇨🇾❤️

Winnie is a really incredible staff. She is responsive and making lots of efforts to satisfy my idea with as cheaper price as possible. I felt a lot of hospitality from her. I cannot appreciate more.

An excellent organisation and highly professional and personalised support
5/5

We wanted to go to Africa, and after a meeting with Ineke from Rewild Away, our decision was made: it would be Tanzania!
And what a trip it turned out to be!
We would recommend anyone planning to travel to Tanzania to choose Rewild Away. Ineke makes sure that the travel program perfectly matches your wishes and that you really get to know Tanzania. From the very first contact, she truly listened to our desires, understood how we wanted to travel, and created a trip proposal that really suited us.
The places we stayed were very beautiful : a tented camp brings you close to nature (but with the luxury of a blissful bed), sleeping under the stars at a Hadza village, or enjoying a pampering stay at a luxury lodge – it was all included, and that variety made it great.
Our guide Hassan told us about local culture, family life, tribes, etc. We enjoyed the street life and all the friendly people along the way.
And of course, there was the beautiful nature and the wildlife parks: Hassan took us to the perfect spots to spot animals and meanwhile taught us a lot about the amazing birds, trees, and plants, and about the impressive mammals. We saw the big five, the ugly five, the great migration... everything was covered. Hassan made sure we could see and experience it all.
Ineke regularly asked how the trip was going. And when we had car trouble in the Serengeti, action was taken immediately, another guide was found to take us on an afternoon safari, and Hassan made sure the car was ready the next day.
Hassan and Ineke made sure that we could enjoy a carefree and unforgettable top holiday, thanks to excellent organization and very professional and personal guidance.
We're already dreaming of a next visit to Tanzania!

many thx to my consultant derick who follow-up me on each day of my safari
5/5

i am group joining 7 days safari with mid-range luxury accommodation, we went to maasaimara, nakuru, naivasha, hells gate and ambosseli, I booked the tour from safaribookings in china, my consultant derick he gave me the schedule and quotation, the price is good, I dot require a price off, but compared to quotations from agent of china, jamlan quotation island really really more cost effective, during my safari I lived really nice and beatiful hotels/lodges much more nice than quotation described.
since I am not private tour i changed our driver guide and cars one time during safari, and this doesn't matter.
in a word this is a memorable trip well organized, jamlan can be trusted beyond expectation, I am a solo traveler, before i came to kenya i am a little bit of afraid of this tour, finally it is perfect thx to my consultant derick.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with meijo
4/5

Thank you so much for this incredible journey. The itinerary was well-paced, the guides were patient and attentive, and the landscapes were simply breathtaking. It was surreal to see animals that I’d only ever watched on TV—right there in front of me. Absolutely amazing.

· Tarangire: the park rangers and the baobab trees 🌲, the baby elephant hiding in its mother’s shadow 🐘, and the Maasai boys going through their rite of passage.
· Serengeti: the lion prides on an early morning patrol 🦁, the cheetah feasting on a gazelle 🐆, and the wildebeest charging across the river against all odds.
· Ngorongoro: the elephants, giraffes, and—haha—the jackal poop 💩 we spotted on our walking safari.

One small but important heads‑up for future travelers: during my stay at Safari Heaven Migration Camp, some money went missing from my room. Please keep your valuables secure and double‑check your belongings.

Otherwise, it was a trip of a lifetime—thank you for everything!

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari Across the Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with Bavuma!
5/5

My wife and I recently wrapped up an absolute dream honeymoon of a 5-day safari with Bavuma WildQuest across Kenya and Tanzania, and it exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, the entire journey was seamless, beautifully organized, and packed with incredible wildlife moments.

Flawless Travel & Logistics
The team handled every single transition flawlessly. Booking domestic flights from Wilson into the Masai Mara and over to the Serengeti saved us hours of rough driving and allowed us to maximize our time on game drives. Our private 4x4 Land Cruiser was comfortable, pristine, and perfectly set up for viewing and photographing wildlife from the pop-up roof.

Outstanding Accommodations & Hospitality
Both Little Zebra River Camp and Pori Pori Camp provided the perfect balance of authentic bush living and incredible comfort. The tented setups were stunning, the food was delicious at every meal, and the hospitality from the staff was warm and attentive throughout. They even surprised us with a complimentary honeymoon package and a wonderful sundowner setup in the Serengeti—watching the sun drop over the plains with a cold drink in hand was pure magic.

Unmatched Wildlife & Expertise
From tracking big cats in the Masai Mara to exploring the vast Serengeti plains, taking to the skies in a hot air balloon, and descending into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, the game viewing was world-class. Our guide’s knowledge, eye for spotting game, and dedication to giving us the best possible experience made all the difference.

If you are looking for a top-tier, stress-free private safari experience in East Africa, I cannot recommend Bavuma WildQuest enough. We're leaving with memories (and photos!) that will last a lifetime.
