Brilliant organisation from start to finish
In 2025 we made contact with Martin at Kingfisher safaris expressing our interest in booking a mobile safari in Botswana followed by a couple of nights in Victoria falls. Martin provided us with a 9 night mobile safari itinerary and organised every aspect of the holiday including transfers, a trip to elephants haven in Maun and our accommodation in Maun before the safari and in Victoria falls at the end. Dealing with Martin was incredibly easy and he was always available to answer any questions we had. Prior to the trip our itinerary was changed slightly due to the localised flooding that has occurred in areas of Botswana and he put our minds at ease immediately regarding the two new camping locations. He stayed in contact through WhatsApp during our trip and when we arrived in Maun he perfectly executed a change to our elephants haven trip to make sure we got to experience it that afternoon as our Mack air bush flight for the following day had changed time which meant we wouldn’t have been able to visit. The mobile safari itself was incredible, Pilot and his team were first class and made sure we were well looked after throughout our trip. Our game sightings in all areas were incredible and Pilot was a wealth of knowledge and truly dedicated to making sure we could see as much as possible. We were able to see wild dogs in all three locations including pups at a den which was a personal highlight. Leopard was also on the agenda and we were lucky enough to see them twice in Savuti thanks to pilots dedication and constant radio contact with other guides. The Sahara tent was extremely comfortable, the food, drinks and camps were all fantastic. Our transfers to Victoria falls all went smoothly and our stay at Bayete lodge was lovely and they were very welcoming. We are already planning our next mobile safari and wouldn’t hesitate to use Kingisher safaris and Pilots mobile safaris again and highly recommend them, they really do go the extra mile to make sure their guests have the trip of a lifetime.

Competent and involved tour operator
Makasa is a small company that has a lot of passion for Tanzania. They do their very best to make a memorable experience for you. They arranged very nice locations and the drivers were very friendly and capable. Thanks to the drivers we were able to see so many wildlife. The communication with Makasa was excellent. They helped us with everything we needed.

Attention to your wishes and great knowledge of the territory
You can organize tailor made trips for very small groups at a competitive prize. I communicated with them (Francesca!) by mail and whatsapp (more immediate) until we defined the desired tour and then still by whatsapp during the tour. They supply a link with details of the tour and then you can also use the app TravelKey during the trip to revise day by day. We were last year in Malawi with them (warmly recommended!) and this year in Zambia and Botswama. No problems, delays, everything went very well. Great game drives, beautiful lodges, punctual transfers.... I would for sure organize with them also another trip to Africa!

Emile was the best tour guide!
I did an eight day safari with Lion Safaris, including seeing chimpanzees, a gorilla trek and safari. Emile was a great tour guide and great company throughout the time together as we covered all corners of Rwanda. He was very patient, professional and knowledgeable. I learned an incredible amount about a diverse, beautiful and resilient country thanks to him. I hope to return again someday.

Wonderful Trip with Abunda!
I’m a local tourist and i booked my safari with Abunda Discoveries. Everything was well organised and the team was easy to work with. Abdul Ndahura, my guide and driver, was really helpful and made the long drives enjoyable. He knows a lot about the places we visited and the wildlife. His navigation is excellent. He's good at engagement. Everything about my trip was just really memorable. I visited Bwindi Impenetrable and Queen Elizabeth NP and honestly, it was a great experience. The gorilla trekking was definitely the highlight for me. I’d happily be back on a trip with Abunda Discoveries and i recommend their services to anyone local or foreign planning a safari in Uganda.

Great Safari experience 🦁
We had a great experience with Peter as our guide! He drove us safely from Arusha to Terengire, Ngorongoro and then to Serengeti, always informing us on every animal we'd see on the way and finding spots for us to see not only the Big 5, but plenty of animals (upon request even haha). He's a reliable trustworthy guide, knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife in Tanzania.
We did 5 full days and a sixth transport day and on every single one we were lucky to see beautiful wildlife. The accomodations chosen by the company were also great, super clean and comfy and staff was kind and helpful everywhere. Absolutely amazing experience I'd love to repeat again someday 🤞🏼

Amazing guide unforgettable experience
Really enjoyed my safari with footmark safaris.
What made the experience so valuable was our guide, Joseph, who taught us so many things about animals, plants, and people in this incredible country. He was very patient and always answered all our questions. The chef Danny was great too, like a magician with camping stoves. All meals were delicious and varied.
I totally recommend it

Epic 8-Day Great Migration Journey with Martin
If you want to witness the Great Migration in Kenya, do yourself a favor and book with Tazama Africa Holidays! We spent 8 unforgettable days exploring the savanna, and our guide Martin was phenomenal. His eagle eyes spotted animals we would have completely missed—from lions camouflaged in tall grass to leopards lounging on acacia branches. Martin managed our timing perfectly so we could experience the herds without being trapped in heavy jeep traffic. Thank you, Tazama Africa Holidays and Martin, for memories that will last a lifetime!
An Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda
Our safari with Eco Adventure Safaris was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Patrick did a great job with the planning and communication, and everything was very well organized. The lodging was very good, the itinerary ran smoothly, and we always felt well cared for throughout the trip.
Our guide, Elias, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and helped make the entire experience even more enjoyable. His guidance and local knowledge added so much to the trip.
The highlight, of course, was seeing the gorillas. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were fortunate to get some incredible photos, but what made the experience even more memorable was being able to watch the gorillas’ behaviors and interactions up close. Seeing how they communicated, moved together, cared for one another, and interacted within the group was absolutely amazing and something we will never forget.
We were equally impressed by the hospitality of the Ugandan people. Everyone we encountered was warm and welcoming, and that kindness made the trip feel even more special.
We are very grateful to Patrick, Elias, and the Eco Adventure Safaris team for making this such a successful and memorable trip. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering a gorilla trekking experience in Uganda.
