The most wonderful experience with a great guide!
Alex was an exceptional guide throughout our safaris in Tanzania. He is highly experienced and has an incredible eye for spotting the most fascinating wildlife scenes — moments that made our journey truly special. What we appreciated the most is how much he cares about every guest, always making sure that everyone enjoys the adventure to the fullest. His professionalism, kindness, and passion for nature made our safari an unforgettable experience. We feel so fortunate to have had him as our guide!

The staff of Nature Travel Namibia are informed, flexible and helpful.
Nature Travel Namibia did a wonderful job suggesting and preparing our Namibia itinerary and then modifying the route and stops to meet our desires. Petra was knowledgeable, responsive and helpful every step of the process. Stewart Matsopo was an outstanding guide and driver. A veritable walking warehouse of information, he was enthusiastic, engaged and a very safe driver. We appreciated his and the agency's willingness to make day to day "tweaks" to the itinerary based on our interests and energy levels. The lodges felt safe, were clean and well staffed with friendly and welcoming people. The food was uniformly good. The Okonjima Plains Camp was our most luxurious stay. It was also there that we capped our trip with close up views of a collared leopard. Stewart was expert and locating and identifying wildlife. We saw herds of elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, many kinds of antelope and exoctic birds. He also explained the geology, weather and plants that we were seeing along with information about the history and culture of Namibia.

Our Worse Nightmare Tour Company
DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS TOUR COMPANY!!! I am writing this review to highlight the worst experience I have ever had with a foreign tour company. It all began in July of 2024 when I reached out to Bush2City and finalized an agreement for a "13 day Best of Kenya Tanzania Safari-Luxury" that included 10 luxury accommodations. In retrospect, I should have booked with another tour company that offered me a great package and had warned me about Bush2City. After my booking, I had many communications with Mali over the following months until I fully paid the trip in May of 2025 for the trip that began July 15th. After our arrival in Kenya, I was informed without advanced notice or rationale that 4 out of 10 of our accommodations were changed to lower category places. I was extremely upset, and we had just started our trip since I meticulously selected all the accommodations. We found that 3 of the accommodations were terrible including the last one which was supposed to be the best lodge in Amboseli and instead it was a wholesale lodge outside of the park with tons of tourists. Mr. Solomon Jackson finally agreed to meet with my husband and I at almost the end of our tour in Arusha. He apologized and promised to provide us with a 20% refund that totaled $3200 USD. The only salvation from the trip was that we had great safari guides and drivers including Steve and Nickson who patiently heard my complaints. Since our trip in July, Mr. Jackson offered several excuses as to why he did not provide the refund and then finally, he has not responded to any of my emails, calls, or texts for the past month. At the very least, I hope that no one else suffers from his fraudulent actions.

A phenomenal tour operator, the plan she made was amazing and perfect for our family.
Our family went on a 5day safari that included 3 different reservations. I had very high expectations and wow, they were exceeded. I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. Starting with our tour operator Norah, our family peppered her with hundreds of questions and concerns and she always responded quickly and confidently. She was very professional and gave us great peace of mind. She picked us up from the airport and introduced us to our safari guide Maurice. We could not have asked for a better guide, he knocked it out of the park. Each day we would tell him what we wanted to see and everytime he always found that animal it was amazing. We wanted to see the Big 5 and within 3 days we had seen all of them. Plus add in a cheetah that literally laid down in the shade of our vehicle. He found a leopard, immediately there were 20 vehicles and we thought great we aren’t going to be able to get a good view. We were wrong, Maurice always made sure we had a premium viewing spot every-time to include being within 30 yards of a lion pride eating a buffalo. Norah and Maurice were both amazing and I can’t speak highly enough of them and 3ps. If your thinking about doing a Safari, 3Ps is a no brainer.

Be Warned
I recommend you do not book with this company . We decided to cancel our booking 6 weeks before we were supposed to go. The reasons as follows,
1. Lack of communication.
2. The reviews.
3. Advised by a former employee.
4. Self confessed cash flow problems.
We were correct in not using them as we are still waiting for our deposit back, just over £3500. We cancelled 22nd August. We were promised and promised but nothing. We are now claiming via our credit card company.
It seems 1 or 2 day safaris they are honouring but anything more they haven't got the money to fund it.
BE WARNED.

Unforgettable experience with the best company
It was an incredible experience, a dream from way back that finally came true!
Each day we were amazed at the fact that a new day had to come to share not only the trip with our guide but also with new companions. We never thought to see such a number of animals nor to have them so close to us. Definitely an adventure I really mean it- but every night you go to bed with a big smile on your face.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Sote Tours for giving us such an amazing experience. We will wholeheartedly recommend you to our friends and family.

Amazing experince, attention and staff
From the moment I started booking, the staff was very attentive. Raphael explained everything included in the package in detail. They picked us up at our specified location, and everything was very flexible. As for the Kilimanjaro guides, they were spectacular. Our lead guide, Joshua, proved to be a true professional, as did the two support guides, Filippo and Kennedy, both very professional, friendly, and helpful. The entire team of porters was fantastic.

Professional, very friendly exchange via chat, accomodating and easy to book with.
Wonderful safari, everything was well organized. The communication with Explorers Wild Adventures was easy and straight forward. The lodges we picked looked like the pictures and descriptions. Our guide, Zachary, really took the time to give us the full experience with every safari drive. He was amazing at spotting and very knowledgable about the animals and also about birds, much to the delight of my husband who is getting into birding.

Stuart Rice was helpful and had excellent communication skills , he helped us with our safari arrangements, the light aircraft flight and camp bookings at Nyamtusi Mahogany.
The camp we stayed in was excellent, as were the guides and game viewing by vehicle, foot and canoe, it was more expensive than some of the other options in Mana pools, but without staying else where, it;s was hard to comment if it was value for money. I would say that we were advised to stay somewhere with a pool as the temperatures were in the 30's , however we didn't use our own private plunge pool or the pool in the main area, so I think that the extra money it cost, wasnt worth it. The camp were very accommodating with dietary requirements and the food was always very good. Our guide Nomsa was excellent, enthusiastic and knowledgeable , We saw Lions, Buffalo, wild dogs, zebras, hippo, elephants, Kadu, waterbuck, impala, elan, crocodile , leopard, wart hog, various birds and a terrapin.

An unforgettable trip with so much exciting to experience
We had the most amazing trip with Tanzania Explorer. They fixed everything for us, no matter what it was. To meeting us at every new place, making sure we got to the right places and that everything was okey when we got to a new place. If we had any questions or problems, they fixed everything we were unsure about and answered quickly. We felt safe and taken care of the whole trip.
