Amazing hospitality, leading to an unforgettable experience.
From the very start, communication from Lova was impeccable. She clearly communicated the 3-day itinerary to Andasibe, the cost breakdown, and the pickup details. She was even kind enough to set everything up and only receive payment during pickup time, showing respect and trust. At pickup, I learned that Zo (her business partner and husband) will be joining us as well, and having two kind and helpful guides was more than I could have asked for! We made one park stop on the way, and another stop for lunch. Once we got to the hotel in Andasibe, we had a night walk. The next day was two more parks, and then the last day on the way back, another one. I was able to see 9 species of lemurs and several reptiles/critters! In the last park, the lemurs were fearless and would jump on your shoulders!
Lova and Zo were always on time, incredibly reliable, and made adjustments any time I made requests. For example, when I mentioned I didn't quite find the hotel restaurant menu that interesting, they were happy to take me to the village for dinner. Every time we were together, we had engaging conversations, and I learned a lot about local customs and cultures. At 550 Euros, it's good value for a trip that would be very tricky to navigate as a first time tourist. I highly recommend this company, and I have every bit of confidence that they would continue to do an amazing job!

Incredible and emotional
Our journey through Zimbabwe and Botswana in August 2026 was truly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives.
We started our adventure at the magnificent Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, before heading into Botswana, where we explored Chobe National Park, Savuti, Khwai, Moremi and the Okavango Delta. Every place was unique, spectacular and full of life.
The game drives, both on land and on the water, were absolutely unforgettable. We were incredibly lucky to see an amazing variety of wildlife - including all the animals we had dreamed of seeing - in their natural habitat. Every sighting was exciting and deeply emotional.
A special mention must go to our guide, Bogosi, known as “Bee Gee”. He is a truly exceptional and highly experienced guide. Thanks to his knowledge, patience and incredible ability to understand the behaviour of the animals, we were able to fully appreciate the beauty of these places and witness the majesty of the wildlife from a very close perspective. What impressed us most was the respect he always showed for nature and the animals. He never treated the safari simply as a way to “find” animals, but as an opportunity to experience and understand the wilderness.
We were also accompanied by three wonderful members of the crew: Alfa, Bee Gee’s son, George, and Giga, our chef. All three took exceptional care of us throughout the entire journey. They were always kind, helpful, friendly and attentive to every detail, making us feel comfortable and truly looked after.
The combination of the incredible landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, unforgettable experiences and, above all, the wonderful people who shared this adventure with us made this journey something truly special.
This was much more than just a safari. It was an experience that will remain forever in our hearts and in our memories.
A huge thank you to Bee Gee, Alfa, George and Giga for making our adventure through Zimbabwe and Botswana so unforgettable. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Marvelous
Our assistant, Restie, and our guide, Bakari, are both very nice and professional. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip. They were always helpful and made us feel safe and reassured. We would definitely choose them again if we come back to Tanzania!

The GOOD
Price. It is less than half the price of any other massive tour of the major parks of both kenya and tanzania.
The drivers were superb on navigating and finding the right pic angles (I took 12500)
Food was great.
Accomodation was decent for the price
Weather was perfect
The NOT so good
We had 4 major mechanical breakdowns that with work and collaboration were fixed
I was forgotten at a café on a lunchstop, but again joined the group
I got travellers diarrehea which i fixed myself, so go prepared and dont skimp on mosquito spray and malaria prevention and yellow fever shot.
The massive distances on rough roads, the heat and the dust
No contact with the natives. Everything was in a tourist bubble.
In the end it was worth it because of the massive amount of wildlife for such a good price.
Asante sana

Unforgettable..
Money well spent and an absolutely unforgettable experience. The views were incredible, we saw an amazing variety of animals, and every day brought something memorable.
The accommodation was basic, but perfectly reasonable for the budget. The food and drinking water were well taken care of, and overall the organisation was very good. There were one or two minor issues along the way, but they were negligible and did not take away from the experience.
A special mention to Kata, our driver, who was fantastic throughout the trip. He was extremely safe, patient, friendly and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience. He constantly went the extra mile to find the best spots, get us great wildlife sightings and make the most of every opportunity.
We also met some wonderful people along the way and made memories that we will carry for a lifetime.
I would definitely recommend Judeson Budget Safaris and would happily book with them again. 🦁🌍❤️

Kind, accommodating, and efficient
Our journey with Brilliant was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Right from the booking stage, the team put us completely at ease, and we were incredibly impressed by the mid-luxury accommodations they arranged. From our first hotel to the beautiful campsites, everything exceeded our expectations, and the staff was consistently excellent. While our resort in Zanzibar was a bit more average compared to the others, the overall trip was still spectacular.
Our guide, Joshua, was a standout—immensely knowledgeable, warm, and highly accommodating with our daily schedules. We also can’t thank Lightness enough; she managed our bookings flawlessly and was remarkably kind and responsive whenever we needed assistance.
The safari itself was a surreal, magical experience where we were blessed to see every animal on our list and more. I especially loved the private tour format, which gave us the flexibility to explore without feeling rushed. Just be prepared for the classic, bumpy safari roads—which we fully expected and didn’t mind at all. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable experience
We had the best time on safari with Malaki and his team. Everything went smoothly, and they took great care of us the entire time.
Malaki himself is a fantastic guide. He was super patient with all our questions, and somehow managed to spot animals we would have completely missed.
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Definitely recommend Malaki Safaris!

Professionalism and reliability. Thanks to Petra Joell for the perfect organization of the trip.
The tour was tailor-made according to our specifications. Excellent value for money, considering that this wasn't a cheap trip—we wanted to travel as a private group of four with a private driver. We had absolutely no complaints regarding the lodges, the schedule, or the excursions. We received constant support, so I highly recommend Nature Travel Namibia.
