Firefinch safaris exceeded all our expectations.
I and 3 other retired ladies have just returned from a superbly organised FireFinch safaris and car hire. We self drove through Namibia covering 3068 km. We felt totally safe in all the places he recommended we visit.
Right from the start Clive was super quick to respond to me on WhatsApp, answering all our questions and worries. We chatted too at length about what to expect, what we might do and he sent us the Travel Key App to 'play' with. It lead us through our daily itinerary and the distances we needed to cover and information about the lodges and activies we might like to do. He met us on our first day in Windhoek to answer any more questions and everyones feed back to me was very positive. He gave us a lot of confidence. He was definately a person to turn to when we had a few "oh no senior moments" . These problems, of our own making I hasten to add, were ironed out quickly with help from Clive.
He arranged terrific lodges and hotels for us. Every lodge was so special in it's own way. From 5 star to quirky - all extremely good. Every new accommodation was a wow moment. It was so exciting to see what place was coming next. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. My personal favourite was eating dinner on the terrace where we watched sometimes 30 elephants or more at the waterhole 100 metres away interacting with each other.
We travelled extensively and followed Clive's advice about checking tyres when we stopped to refuel. So we had no problems with the 4x4 vehicle. It was very comfortable.
As well as Namibia we went to Botswana and Victoria Falls. My advice here would be to buy your souvenirs in Namibia! Things were better value in Nam. Victoria Falls works on the US$ and there was a noticeable difference in value for money. We did love all 3 countries though and Vic Falls was well worth seeing.
What memories we made! We all feel so fortunate to have done this trip.
If you are hesitating about going to Namibia then please don't hesitate anymore!
You will not be disappointed in the country or FireFinch Safaris and Car hire. It was just wonderful. Thankyou Clive.

Refreshment for the soul
One of the most beautiful experiences ever. Like having Africa sickness without having returned yet.
Our guide, Albert, treated us immediately as people/friends and not just as customers, making us feel at home right away. He showed us wonderful places (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro), which restore the soul, in addition to all the animals and plants imaginable.
Thanks to Tracks of Africa for their professionalism and excellent organization.
Ashante sana Albert!

Helpful, fiendly, professional, flexible.
The person in charge of the company was professional, helpful, and flexible in meeting our needs. The staff was always punctual, friendly, and professional. While the itinerary on our last day varied from what the guide initially had in mind, resulting in 1.5 hours less of game drive time before reaching the airstrip, this could easily be clarified upfront during itinerary planning. Overall, it was a well-organized experience with excellent service, and I’d recommend confirming details ahead of time for a seamless trip.

They are very friendly and experienced.
Being in Tanzania is an unforgettable trip and African Big Cats is an indispensable part of this trip. Before our trip, we communicated about details of our itinerary and accommodation smoothly. During our trip, our guide Venance is also friendly and experienced, so we managed to see big 5 in Tanzania and there is no regret.

Attentive, Responsible, Responsive.
We had a great 30-day safari of Kenya & Tanzania. A very specific and customised itinerary, which included must see sights as a number of us were returning to our roots after many, many years abroad.
Africa Safari bookings team - were professional, prompt & knowledgeable. Although, there were hicups along the way (inspite of our very specific requirements), they responded to all our questions within 24 hrs.
We felt safe booking the trip with them. Money was handled with care & professionally.
We were lucky to have execeptional drivers / guides for Kenya and Tanzania - Wycliffe (Kenya) & Izac (Mama Savanah Tanzania)
Both were excellent in their driving skills, ethical attitudes & knowledge of the parks / wildlife - they infact made our trip !!!
We recommend booking a trip through Africa Safari bookings Advisory and ask for these Drivers/Guides - Wycliffe (Kenya) & Izac (Mama Savanah Tanzania)

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Reflect Africa Expedition helped make our dream vacation to Botswana come true! Everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. Sox (our guide), his wife Fatima, and all the staff were like family to us. The accommodation was good and the food was excellent thanks to Obza, Toko, Gee and our chefs Maps and Skara!! We were able to do and see so much. The wildlife and landscape were unreal.. seeing the lions, giraffes, zebras and so many other animals in their own habitat was such a memorable experience!! The hospitality we received throughout our trip exceeded our expectations. Thank you for the amazing safari, for so many laughs, memories and great photos.

Exceptional and Outstanding
My wife and I had an wonderful tour and safari experiences in South Africa.
Kathi planned our itinerary to perfection. Every detail from initial contact, all through actual tour was carefully thought out and seamlessly organized; greatly exceeded our expectations.
Our guide in Cape Town and ranger in safari were very knowledgeable, highly experienced and passionate about South Africa's history and wildlife which made our experience special.
Stayed at luxurious hotel in Cape Town and beautiful safari lodge in Sabi Sabi Reserve with sightings of different animals throughout the day. Able to see Big Five up close along with many other animals was amazing.
We went home with memories that will last a lifetime.
Highly recommend African Welcome Safaris(Kathi) for unforgettable trip to South Africa.
