Mthabisi. Great person
We did the Chobe Day Trip with Savannah Adventures and everything was perfect. Eddy in Botswana coordinated everything seamlessly. We saw tons of elephants, hippos, and even lions. Lunch at the lodge was excellent. We really appreciated the small groups and the personalized service. Matthias assisted us in Spanish during the booking process, and Taf at Victoria Falls was fantastic, always attentive and very organized. A great company for Latin American travelers, highly recommended.

10 Great Days of Uganda with Amakula
We recently completed a 10-day trip in Uganda with Amakula and while there were a few hiccups along the way, it would be unfair to give anything less than 5 stars – all thanks to our amazing guide, Winter. What We Loved: Winter made the trip truly enjoyable. Despite unexpected changes to our accommodations and gorilla trekking location of which this was done foe the better, he remained calm, professional, and quick to resolve issues as they came up. His driving skills kept us safe and entertained. Given that long car rides are a big part of traveling through Uganda, this really made a difference. We genuinely enjoyed every conversation with Winter. His deep knowledge of Uganda’s wildlife, culture, and geography enriched our trip so much. He was always eager to share and made the journey even more engaging. The accommodations arranged by Amakula were generally great – comfortable, well-located, and with good food. What Could Be Improved: As mentioned in other reviews, pre-trip communication could have been more proactive. A simple acknowledgement of payments and clear timelines for next steps would have saved us some unnecessary worry. There was a mismatch in our final itinerary. We had made a few changes more than six months before the trip to better fit our departure flight, but our guide only received the original version. This led to some confusion, and a few lodges we were looking forward to were unexpectedly swapped out. We were informed only the night before that our gorilla trekking location had changed from Bwindi to Mgahinga. While we understand that Mgahinga can offer an easier gorilla sighting journey (and we did enjoy it!), it was disappointing not to visit Bwindi as we had hoped. Early communication would have helped set expectations better. The packing list provided was too generic. It didn’t include key items like face masks, which are mandatory for chimp and gorilla trekking. We only knew this from our own research online. A more tailored list based on the actual itinerary would have been helpful. Final Thoughts: We truly believe Amakula African safaris team is sincere and passionate about giving their guests the best experience. This came through clearly in the effort and care from Winter. As the company grows, we hope they put more focus on strengthening their communication and administrative processes – because with that in place, they have everything it takes to be an outstanding travel provider.Lastly but not least we would like to thank Simon the CEO who loves addressing him as the team leader at Amakula. He is a young man. So knowledgeable, rich at heart and loves his work. Thank you so much for the great organization and we cNt wait to recommend you guys.

Joseph was an excellent driver who really knows his way around and he was the first to spot animals
The communication and service were prompt, efficient and very friendly. We received the information we needed quickly at any time of day. We got more than we expected for our money. Tabitha was extremely reliable. The tour was very well planned, extremely varied and absolutely impressive. In Joseph, we had the best driver one could imagine. He knew his way around everywhere very well and his contacts helped us get some stunning photos of the wildlife.

Unforgettable safari and personalized service in Victoria Falls and Chobe
We did the safari in Zambezi National Park and an overnight stay in Chobe National Park, and everything was flawless. Taf and the team took care of every detail. We had a Spanish-speaking guide for several activities, which made all the difference. They were very well organized and always available. Top-notch service. Thanks to Matt, we had Spanish-speaking support via email and WhatsApp even before we booked.

Unique experience
We traveled from Mexico in March 2026, and Savannah Adventures exceeded all expectations. The service in Spanish provided by Mr. Mattias was excellent. We did the moonlight and stargazing safari in a 4x4, which was a unique experience, as was the safari in Zambezi National Park. Seeing the open African sky is breathtaking. The town safari in Victoria Falls, also in a 4x4, was very interesting. In Victoria Falls, Taf and Eddy were incredibly friendly and efficient—true stars and professionals. The Chobe camping safari was the highlight of the trip.

Sekanka Safaris - Botswana/Zimbabwe - Simply Brilliant
My wife and I traveled for our honeymoon in April 2026, and we arranged everything through Anna at Sekanka Safaris. From the very beginning, she was an absolute pleasure to work with—thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly attentive to what we were looking for. She crafted a wonderful itinerary that suited us perfectly, all at a very reasonable price.
Our guide, Thalo, was outstanding throughout the trip, seamlessly taking care of all our transfers and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Anna also selected fantastic accommodations and experiences at every stop, which truly elevated our journey.
We later learned there had been some challenges behind the scenes due to flooding in Botswana, but everything was handled so professionally that we were completely unaware at the time. In fact, the alternative stay at Xaoo Camp turned out to be exceptional, and the private safaris with our guide Joe were a real highlight of the trip.
It took a bit of research to find Sekanka Safaris, but it was absolutely worth it. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
A huge thank you to Anna, Thalo, and the entire team for making our honeymoon so special!

The best Guide and fixer you can get. Period.
Mulugeta was our guide and fixer for 3 weeks in Ethiopia in December 2022/January 2023 and he was truly the best guide I have ever worked with. Always available, quick to adapt and react, organized, friendly and understanding of every situation.
I recommend anyone that want to discover Ethiopia, its culture, cities, diversity, food...
He knows people, he is available, discreet and truly a gem to travel with. Before the trip the planing went smoothly, Mulugeta was pro-active and available to understand the particularity of our trip and was open to all my requests regarding places to visit, even when it was off the classical roads you can expect when visiting his amazing country. Anyone hiring him would be lucky and sure to have an amazing travalling experience.
