Amazing experience
5/5

The experience was incredible! We took the 5-day desert and coast tour, spending two days in the desert and the other two in Swakopmund. Communication was very efficient, starting from when we first contacted the agency for information about prices and itineraries. Everything was very well organized. Our guide, Berron, was wonderful, with great knowledge of the history, biology, and geology of the areas we visited, explaining everything to us. We learned a lot about Namibia, which is a fantastic country. Both the desert and the coast are amazing! I was expecting a great experience, but it was even better than I had anticipated. On the coast, activities were not included in our package, so we booked the Sandwich Harbour tour separately, which is definitely worth it. We thought the value for money was good, as we didn't have to worry about anything. Accommodations and food included in the package were really nice, and we learned a lot from our guide. If we had opted for self-driving, we probably would have saved some money, but I think contracting the agency was a good decision for a more complete and relaxing experience. The only issue was that the Wi-Fi didn’t work during our entire stay in the desert.

Even Better than I expected
5/5

Booking with Serengeti smile was a fantastic choice. We decided on doing a 13 day Safari + Zanzibar holiday, Godian was helpful throughout adjusting things based on our feedback with great communication through Whatsapp and Email.

Our Safari guide was Champion who kicked things off with our starter (Tarangire) where the highlight was getting up close to the elephants. Next the main course was the southern Serengeti. Here we saw all sorts including some Lions having a breakfast of Wildebeest. Again thanks to Champion he was fantastic at spotting animals, sneaky shortcuts and his Swahili singing. Our safari ended with Ngorogoro (the wild zoo) as Champion called it, which might be the most beautiful place I've ever visited.

Asante Sana,
Owen

Fantastic day at Arusha National park
5/5

Massive thank you to Ahmani (sorry for the spelling) for making our last day in Tanzania such a memorable one!

We booked a 1 day Safari trip to Arusha National Park with Charles tours, everything was really well organised with clear communication from the beginning. We got picked up from our hotel nice and early in a 4x4 with a 360 roof which made seeing all the animals and birds really easy and fun!

Ahmani shared so much knowledge of African wildlife and local culture and we definitely went away feeling like we learnt so much from him! It was so easy to see his passion for his country, culture and wildlife! We had a great lunch sitting in a private opening right next to a waterfall and had coffee and drinking water provided all day!

Thank you again Ahmani and Charlea tours, couldn't recommend the company more!

Once in a lifetime experience
5/5

I can’t recommend Serengeti Smile enough. From booking the safari holiday to being on it I have nothing but positive words to describe the experience. Communicating with the team was effortless and they always kept us in the loop with updates and tour planning.
The safari was amazing and I have experienced and seen things I could only dream of! I have witnessed the big 5 animals plus a whole range of others. I’ve been able to get close to elephants, lions and giraffes and see how incredible they truly are. The tour was so interesting as we visited Maasai tribe and got to learn about their way of living and culture, something I never thought I would do. I feel so lucky that I have experienced all of these wonderful things and couldn’t go without thanking our guide Champion!
This holiday was with myself and my boyfriend and while away it was my birthday with Serengeti Smile and Champions help they gave me a lovely surprise and some cake to celebrate! Champion has been an excellent guide, so friendly, knowledgeable and so caring towards us. He has taught us so much and shown us the beautiful animals Tanzania has to offer! Thank you so much and hope to come back in the future.

*Incredible Uganda Safari*
My wife and I booked a tour to Murchison falls National Park with Jeisking Tours # Gorilla Uganda Safari Bookings in June year 2022....

We enjoyed watching the magical Murchison waterfalls from the top as well as the Nile boat cruise taking us at the bottom of Murchison falls for a hike.
Our game drive with David who was our assigned guide was extremely rewarding, my wife enjoyed watching the giraffes plus other wild animals…,
Sandra, made it easy for us with her swift responses to all the emails. Huge thanks to David our guide he was so informative about the park, culture & the people , he was so smart, kind and gave us a nice treat all throughout the 3 days we were on the trip with him while answering all our questions .
It was really an awesome experience in Uganda with this company, we hope to book with you again and obviously we recommend other travel buddies to travel with Jeisking Tours.
Regards
Aggrey🤗

Competent, knowledgeable, hard working and safety conscious
5/5

My husband and I had a wonderful trip with Phillimon to the Moremi reserve in the Okavango Delta for 2 nights and 3 days. From beginning to end it was a totally memorable experience.

James, in the office, is a great communicator and was always quick to respond to emails and questions which gave me total confidence in booking with Walking Sticks Safari.

Phillimon picked us up at a set time from our accommodation in Maun and took us to the campsite after taking us for a game drive in the afternoon. We saw lots of animals including lions.
The campsite had already been set up by Prince, our cook, and KB his assistant. Both were charming, good fun and very helpful.
After waking the following morning at 5:30 and having breakfast we had another 6 hour game drive, back to camp for lunch and a rest and then another 3 hour game drive late afternoon returning to camp at 7pm for dinner. Again we saw many animals including a lioness with her two cubs, zebra, hyenas, wild dogs, hippo, buck and just missing out on seeing a leopard but not for lack of effort on Phillimons part. The following morning we had another short game drive, lunch and then a return trip to our accommodation in Maun stopping on the way if more animals were seen.

Phillimon was born and bred in the Okavango Delta and knows the delta like the back of his hand. At all times he worked really hard to show us as many animals as possible and never gave up despite some challenging weather conditions; a hugh amount of rain had fallen in Botswana over the last month.
It was such fun that we didn’t want it to end. Phillimon knows his stuff and we felt relaxed and safe with him at all times. We saw some wonderful animals and experienced the delights of the Okavango Delta.

I would definitely recommend Walking Sticks Safari as a company to see the Okavango Delta with. We had a great time and we would definitely use them again.
