Well organised, amazing safari guide called Jame!
We took the 5 night 6 day safari from Maun to Kasane via Khwai, Savuti and Chobe NPs. We were a group of 4. We spent 2 nights in a tent in Khwai and 2 in Savuti. Then the last night in Water Lily Lodge, Kasane.
The tents were large and the private toilet, a blessing! Plus the shower. The camp staff, Dix and Barcelona, were very attentive and efficient, addressing all our needs and more, even with a 'turn down' service.
Machine, our chef, was amazing, taking into account the limitations of cooking in the bush over a fire! The food was varied and plentiful.
The campsites were to ourselves and magical, Khwai was next to a river and Savuti in the bush.
Our guide, Jame (pronounced Jammie) was the absolute best! He is called Leopard Man for good reason and he did not disappoint. We saw everything we could've hoped for and more. Everyday we were blessed with more amazing sightings of magnificent animals and wildlife scenes. From the leopards in Khwai to the lions of Savuti.
Jame's knowledge of the entire area is really impressive and he reads animal movement well, getting us into position for the animal to appear. He is extremely patient too, at times allowing us to be the only jeep in that area, waiting for the sighting.
David, who I communicated with to organise our last minute trip, was very responsive and helpful.
All in all, a magical trip with many memories made and a fabulous way to travel from Maun to Kasane.
Thank you the Travel Creation Botswana team!

Efficient operator with attention to details to make my short trip worthwhile
I reached out to Iyana Africa on very short notice while I was already in Kenya for a seminar, and they responded within minutes. After engaging with Nicholas, the manager, I decided to book my trip with them and the experience was exceptional. Iyana provided me with their newest Land Cruiser model and an incredibly experienced guide, John, who drove with great expertise and ensured I enjoyed every moment of the journey.
Despite the short duration of my trip, John’s deep knowledge of the terrain and constant communication with other guides allowed me to see all of the Big Five something I didn’t think would be possible! I also had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Maasai community and experience their unique culture and way of life.
Iyana Africa proved to be dependable, professional, and truly dedicated to delivering an unforgettable adventure. I will definitely return with my family in the coming months. For anyone seeking maximum adventure, comfort, and value for money, I highly recommend Iyana Africa.

Safari Soles is a friendly Tanzanian tour company that offers well-organized safaris at fair prices
⸻
Our seven-day safari with Safari Soles was absolutely wonderful. Everything was well organized, and we felt safe and welcome from the very beginning.
Our guide Dickson was friendly, patient, and knew so much about the animals. Thanks to him, we experienced so many beautiful moments – lions, elephants, giraffes, and stunning landscapes.
The lodges were cozy and clean, and every evening we could enjoy the sounds of nature around us.
It was an unforgettable trip, and we’re very grateful for this time with Safari Soles and Lutch.

amazing memory in my life ever
I had been looking forward to this trip for a long time, but it wasn’t until I actually set foot in Africa that I realized how breathtaking it truly is. The landscapes were absolutely stunning—beyond anything I had imagined. Although some parts of the journey were quite bumpy, overall it was an unforgettable experience and totally worth it. I’ll definitely go back again someday!

Kenya Tanzania Travel
This trip was based on a friend's itinerary and chose Meijo Safaris. Sales representative Marcelina responded very promptly and actively resolved various issues, but there was one thing that was not very good. The night before departure, she was informed that a new guide had been replaced (any subsequent dissatisfaction was caused by the new guide). Kenya's guide Henry Gichura Very good, professional, enthusiastic, and proactive. After the replacement in Tanzania, the guide Pete was very unprofessional, not communicative, and not proactive (reasons: 1. He only opens the roof when we need to prompt him to do so; 2. He doesn't pull the handbrake every time he stops; 3. He doesn't even know where the restroom is on the way from the Tanzanian border to the northern part of Serengeti; 4. He didn't even tell us when he changed our hot meal to a cold meal. We asked him why our meal wasn't hot, but he said he didn't know. I asked the salesperson later, and the salesperson said it was the guide who changed it. They were worried that it would be inconvenient for us to eat hot meals when we saw the horses crossing the river, but the guide never told us about it; 5. Every day, the guide said it would start at 8 o'clock. Our friends also encountered the same problem, so we requested to move up the time. Of course, we also said to leave early and return to the hotel early, The guide disagreed, but only agreed after reporting to the sales team. However, they returned to the hotel very early; 6. Safaris often makes long phone calls during the process, which I feel is very unsafe. ）Based on the above situation, if the evaluation is 5 points, I can only give 3 points, of which 2 points are given to Henry Gichura, the Kenyan guide, and 1 point is given to Marcelina, the salesperson.

A 60th Birthday Safari to Remember with Oldbeast Vacations
Oldbeast Vacations truly listened to every wish I had and crafted a 60th birthday celebration that felt completely tailor-made for me. From the very beginning, I felt incredibly fortunate to be guided by Attione, whose deep knowledge of the region made our trip seamless and unforgettable. Throughout the journey, Oldbeast Vacations was always just a call or email away, ready to ensure everything went perfectly.
Our adventure began at Camp Khwai, a charming rustic tented camp that instantly felt like a home away from home. We were greeted with warmth and genuine smiles from Rebbecca and her incredible team. The staff went above and beyond to make my 60th birthday extraordinary, imagine celebrating in the bush with a beautiful birthday cake under the stars. Our tent was nothing short of magical, with a cozy living room, a private swimming pool, and an outdoor shower and bath that made every moment feel indulgent and special.
Our guide, Rolnei, was a fountain of knowledge and an exceptional tracker. Every safari drive with him was a lesson in wonder, we saw almost everything on our wildlife wish list. But it wasn’t just the animals that captured our hearts, it was the vast, breathtaking African skies. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, a storm erupted in the distance, turning the sky into a mesmerizing light show. The memory of that electric, untamed beauty will stay with me forever.
Food at Camp Khwai was another delight. The chef’s skill and creativity were remarkable, crafting delicious meals that honored Botswanan flavors while accommodating our diverse dietary needs, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and more. Every bite felt like a celebration in itself.
The second leg of our journey was just as flawless. All transfers were seamless, and we were warmly received at the border before being whisked to our stunning hotel in Victoria Falls. The Palm River Hotel felt like a five-star oasis, with immaculate grounds where warthogs, monkeys, and impalas roamed freely. Attione had arranged a sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi, floating among the shimmering waters while spotting hippos, followed by an unforgettable Boma experience under a canopy of stars.
The next day, we explored the majestic Victoria Falls and enjoyed a breathtaking lunch at the Lookout Restaurant, where the views were as spectacular as the food. Every moment of this trip was filled with joy, awe, and celebration.
This wasn’t just a holiday, it was an experience that touched my heart deeply, a 60th birthday I will treasure forever. I cannot recommend Oldbeast Vacations highly enough and would trust them without hesitation for any future adventures.

Trip of a Lifetime
Compass Odyssey went above and beyond to create a unique itinerary for me and my husband on our honeymoon. We did a lot of research on different companies and felt that Darren and Kate offered a very special experience at a very fair price. We had never been to Africa before and were nervous about what to expect, but Compass Odyssey made the entire experience stress-free, relaxing, and fun. From knowledgeable guides, amazing accommodations, and incredible food, it's clear how much they care about creating a wonderful trip. We particularly loved our time at the different lodges, where we got to see big game up close, meet other travelers, and learn about local culture. Darren and Kate only book travelers at lodges they've stayed at personally and it shows. We would absolutely recommend Compass Odyssey to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime trip.
