Elisante is a wonderful driver and guide.
In August of 2024, I had the privilege of being on safari in Tanzania with Elisante with a different group as one of our drivers though he clearly could have been guiding the trip. He has an extensive knowledge of the animals and region which he freely shares with everyone. He has a very pleasant and happy personality. He was very easy to work with and clearly puts our needs as a priority doing everything he could to make every aspect of our trip as easy and fun as possible. He definitely knows how to speak to hippos and make them want to come your way for a closer look. I would highly recommend working with him as a guide or in any other capacity on safari.

Professional, knowledgeable and courteous
Big Apes Africa is a top choice for safari bookings in Uganda. The manager Peter warmly welcomed me to the country as soon as my flight landed in Uganda. Then my guide Gerald took me on a safari journey that's once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend Big Apes Africa to anyone seeking a memorable safari tour in Uganda!

A knowledge, kind soul who truly cares about making sure guests have an amazing time.
We did the 3-day, 2-night safari tour and had an absolutely amazing time! Our group of 12 women was well taken care of by Patrick and his team, who were incredibly patient and attentive throughout the trip. The exceptional service started even before the safari, as Patrick organized a group chat to help us communicate, ask questions, and prepare for the experience.
Our adventure began in Nairobi, where half of our group was picked up for a scenic road trip, while the other half flew to the destination. The ride was safe, comfortable, and filled with fun conversations. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delicious lunch, setting the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable trip.
That same day, we enjoyed our first game drive, and it was an incredible experience. Patrick and his team went above and beyond to ensure we made the most of our time. Over the course of the safari, we were thrilled to see all of the Big Five, with the lions being my personal favorite!... Read more We were lucky enough to see them on two different days, which was a highlight for me.
After the safari, we spent a full day back in Nairobi, where Patrick’s team organized visits to the iconic Giraffe Manor, followed by a delightful lunch and dinner. The entire experience was seamless and perfectly planned, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a well-organized, safe, and unforgettable safari experience. Thank you, Patrick, and the team, for making this trip so special!

Our tour operator, Emmah, is very knowledgeable, engaging and accommodating.
Our tour was one of the best that my husband and I ever had on any visit to a new country. The tour of Johannesburg, Soweto, Kruger National Park, Blyde River Canyon, The Three Rondevaals and God's Window gave us a comprehensive package of the history, culture and natural beauty of the awesome country. We had additional tours to Adam's Calendar, Mandela House and the Apartheid Museum. This was a birthday trip for which Emmah went above and beyond to fulfill special requests and customize from the biggest to the tiniest detail. Upon arrival at Kruger, she immediately secured a room upgrade to optimize my husband's comfort and satisfaction. We were very happy with the hospitality and pride displayed by our tour guide, establishments' employees and all of the people with whom we came in contact. It is a certainty that we will visit South Africa again!

Spectacular Service!
I was fortunate enough to be referred to Leslie Nevison and MTTZ, Mama Tembo Tours Zambia, while making plans for my 3rd trip to Zambia in 2023. I ended up using the services of MTTZ for my 2023 trip and my most recent trip to Zambia in July of 2024. Before that, I had never used the services of a travel consultant and had done all of the planning for my trips on my own. Leslie is extremely knowledgeable and creative, utilizing cost-saving strategies such as staying at safari camps the very last days of the lower priced "shoulder" or low season and taking advantage of specials such as "stay 5 nights, pay for 4". I will, once again, be using MTTZ for the planning of my 5th trip to Africa in 2025. Also, if you are looking for a great way to ease back into "civilization" after spending time in the bush, I highly recommend spending a night or two at Leslie's guest house Cheza.
An enthusiastic TWO THUMBS UP for Leslie and MTTZ!!

Perfect wildlife experience with Nashibe Adventures
The perfect destination for wildlife with Nashibe Adventures. Thanks to Nashibe Adventures. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly planned and executed. We spent several days in the Maasai Mara, where our kids were absolutely thrilled to see lions, elephants, and giraffes up close. Our guide was great with the kids, making the experience both educational and fun. We also had the opportunity to visit Amboseli National Park. The lodges were family-friendly and offered all the comforts we needed, including activities for the kids. Nashibe Adventures ensured that every member of our family had an incredible time. It was an educational and enriching safari.

Amazing Ugandan wildlife experience
Our 8 Days Gorilla Trekking and Big Five Safari in Uganda was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to the meticulous planning by Nyanja Safaris Uganda. we were immersed in the beauty and excitement of the Ugandan wildlife. Our guide's knowledge and passion for wildlife made every game drive an adventure. One of the highlights was a close encounter with a pride of lions, which was both thrilling and humbling. Gorilla trekking is a must-do in Uganda, but Nyanja Safaris Uganda's cultural activities added another enriching dimension to our trip. The entire experience was flawlessly organized, from the seamless logistics to the personalized touches at each lodge. Nyanja Safaris Uganda delivered a safari that exceeded all our expectations, and we can't wait to return to Africa with them. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to experience the warmth, hospitality, and rich traditions of the Ugandan people.

Very professional tour operator
Everything was handled very professionally, Novatus answered all our mails directly and was very helpful throughout the trip. He picked out very nice accommodations and the driver was very experienced. We had warm lunch all days. We highly recommend doing the trip via Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris and would always do it again with them.
