Outstanding care and attention to detail
Brenda at Splendid Vacations was a pleasure to work with. She was very helpful and accommodating. The Lalashe Lodge at Maasai Mara was stunning with excellent service. But what made my trip was my guide, Alex Masila. Alex is very thoughtful, kind and personable. His knowledge of the Maasai Mara and all its flora and fauna is incredible. I saw and learned so much from Alex. Truly the experience of a lifetime.

Amazing, every detail was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed.
The most amazing group of people! An absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end! You could tell how much care, time, and heart went into making every detail of this trip so special.
From our very first conversation about the trip to our final day in Kenya, everything was perfect. The attention to detail was incredible, and we were always kept informed of any changes to the itinerary. We especially loved the locations we visited, as they truly reflected our desires to experience Kenya and enjoy its incredible safaris.
Working with Magical Skies was easy, enjoyable, and an excellent value for the money. Putting together a once-in-a-lifetime trip like this involves so many moving parts, and having a professional team with the knowledge and experience to coordinate everything made all the difference.
Seeing the incredible game reserves, staying in beautiful camps, and experiencing so many amazing animals in their natural surroundings created memories we will cherish for a lifetime.
I would highly recommend Magical Skies to anyone looking for an unforgettable African adventure. We are already looking forward to planning another trip with them in the future!

Our Experience was Absolutely Amazing
Our Materuni Waterfalls experience with African Platinumz Safaris was absolutely amazing! From the first communication to the end of the trip, everything was well organized.
Benjamin and his team were very welcoming, professional, and attentive to our needs. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the waterfall, and learning more about the local Chagga culture and traditions.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a memorable experience throughout the day.
We highly recommend African Platinumz Safaris to anyone visiting Tanzania and looking for a reliable local tour operator with excellent customer service.
Thank you, Benjamin and the entire team, for making our Materuni adventure unforgettable

Amazing Safari
Ruru did an incredible job putting together the best itinerary for our safari! From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. The selection of accommodations, activities, and safari experiences was absolutely amazing, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. What really stood out was Ruru’s outstanding communication. Always responsive, attentive, professional, and one step ahead of everything. The level of service was truly top-notch, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the entire planning process.

Incredible experience overall
It was our first safari experience, and I can safely say that it won't be our last!
Everything was great — the organisation, the action-packed safari adventure, our amazing guide Jackson, the price, the food, and the number of animals we were lucky enough to see.
We went on a 3-day/2-night tour covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serval Wildlife. The last one was especially important to me, as very few tour operators offer such an opportunity. And for me, it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Having the chance to touch, walk alongside, and even pet the animals we'd previously seen in the national parks was such a rare and unforgettable experience.
A special shout-out to our guide and driver, who managed to spot almost every animal imaginable in Tarangire! They were truly dedicated to making the whole tour unforgettable for us. We felt like we were on a real expedition, driven by the desire to "Catch 'Em All"!
I would definitely recommend this tour!

We loved the experience and the team, who worked very hard for us to have the best!
Very good value for money, as we are a family of five and were looking for an affordable safari online.
It was very easy to talk to Shipungo, define what we wanted, add some things, exclude others, and pay.
Everything was reliable and professional.
In Botswana, we just loved what we experienced: delightful food, plenty of hours on game drives, and an educated and friendly staff. We really think that they did everything possible for us to have the time of our lives!

Very disappointed
I am very disappointed in Africa Geographic. We are planning a tour to Republic of Congo and Central African Republic with them. They gave us the itinerary, and only said "charter flight" from Sangha Lodge to Bangui. Nothing more, no schedule. Months after we purchased the flight ticket (non-refundable and non-changable) they requested it, and suddenly told us that the connection with our outbound flight from Bangui might not work, and WE need to move that flight. What sort of service is that? Is it not supposed to be the travel agency's task to highlight critical aspects of the trip and proactively work with the customer together? No other solution was presented yet. Very disappointed. Don't work with them on unusual trips, they do NOT have the required experience!

Excellent Services and professionals
We are Tanzanians, but we had very little experience with travelling and exploring tourist attractions in our own country. Fortunately, our friend Benjamin and his team at African Platinumz Safaris made everything easy and enjoyable for us.
We visited their office, discussed our plans, and asked them to organize our Materuni Waterfalls tour. They warmly welcomed us, helped us arrange everything, and even allowed us to make the payment in cash.
Our experience was wonderful, and we truly appreciated their professionalism, hospitality, and excellent customer service. We will never forget the experience we had with African Platinumz Safaris.
We highly recommend African Platinumz Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable and professional local tour operator in Tanzania. As Tanzanians, we are proud to have such a company providing excellent tourism services in our country.
Thank you, Benjamin and the entire African Platinumz Safaris team!

They listened very well to what I wanted
A wonderful safari experience with a few minor organizational challenges
Overall, my safari experience was very positive and everything was generally well organized.
As I was traveling during the low season, I was grouped together with travelers who had booked through different tour operators. This meant that we often stayed at different accommodations, which sometimes resulted in quite long drives to drop everyone off and pick them up again.
However, the accommodations were very well chosen, and I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout my trip.
The support during the safari was generally very good, although there were a few minor communication issues. For example, it wasn't always clear what time we would be leaving the following morning, and I sometimes had to ask for this information.
Despite these small inconveniences, I really enjoyed my safari and appreciated the effort that went into organizing the trip. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

A Trip of a Lifetime — Wonderful Guides, Excellent Service, and Great Value!
My husband and I just returned from an unforgettable trip to Africa, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience with Africa Incoming!
Throughout our journey, we felt safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Everything was well organized, and we felt we received excellent value for our money.
A special shout-out to our wonderful guides! Fred in Kenya had incredible eagle eyes! 😂 He spotted wildlife that I could barely find even with my binoculars! He was also very honest, knowledgeable, and professional. Kader in Cape Town was equally wonderful. Both guides were reliable, punctual, attentive, and always put our safety first. We truly appreciated their dedication and hard work.
We were also very happy with our accommodations. All the hotels, lodges, and resorts were good, but we especially loved the cozy, charming atmosphere of the lodges and guesthouses. Those places gave us some of our favorite memories.
One thing we learned is that Africa can be as expensive or as affordable as you choose to make it. You don’t have to spend a fortune to have an incredible experience. We felt our trip offered a wonderful balance of comfort, adventure, and value.
Beyond the breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable wildlife, what touched us most was the friendliness of the people we met. As hardworking people ourselves, we can truly relate to and appreciate the effort that goes into making visitors feel welcome.
We returned home with beautiful memories and a deep appreciation for Africa and its people.
Thank you, Africa Incoming, Fred, and Kader, for helping make this a trip of a lifetime! We would happily recommend your company to anyone planning an African adventure. ❤️
