Wonderful Experience!!
Had an amazing experience with Safari Soles. This was our first safari & their sales specialist Neema was very helpful & understanding. She tailored our package to our needs, gave us reasonable quotes & was very patient in every aspect of safari decision making. Their process is very transparent & one gets proper documentation after every phase. Guest experience team was equally great. & was very proactive to respond to our queries. Lastly & most important our guide Abrazack was abs great. He had knack for details, ensured we are well taken care of, explained us everything in detail & made our experience just wow !!
Thanks team, you guys were GREAT ! 😊

Truly one of the very best
Our honeymoon in Nungwi with Sub Saharan Expeditions was unforgettable. From the white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water to the stunning sunsets, every moment felt magical. We enjoyed a sunset dhow cruise, snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll with sea turtles and coral reefs, exploring Stone Town and the spice market, plus a romantic private beach dinner for our first night as a married couple.
A special thank you to Beatus for making everything smooth, personal, and stress-free throughout the trip. We’re already looking forward to booking our anniversary getaway with them again 🤩

We will never forget this trip in Kenya, wonderful journey with Bencia Africa
This is our first time travel in Africa, but I always wanted to go. Almost one year ago, I booked this trip with Bencia Africa, and Alfred helped us to settle all the details, very professional sales person.
After we arrived Nairobi, our tour guide George waited us at the exit already , and he is a helpful, warm-hearted, considered guy, since we chose a low season, and we don't want anything very rush, so George made our tour nice and easy. He always finds us nice spot to observe the animals we love, also explains lots of details on the animals and the background of these nice places. On the last day in Kenya, we need to go back to Nairobi from Amboseli, but there was a protest, it was dangerous, however George managed to get us to the airport early and safe, thanks a lot.
We chose Serena masai mara, Nakuru Sopa, Naivasha Sopa and Oltukai lodge, we love all of these hotels, but I think the best value for money would be the Sopa.
We love love this trip in Africa, and for sure, we want to visit Africa again in the near future.

Great Safari to Amboseli
I selected Alphadean safaris after receiving three quotes. I found Jemimah to have been very responsive, not pushy, and quoted me a safari I was happy with. Communication with her was great! She also stored a bag for me (don’t do that as Nairobi traffic was terrible, lesson learned). The safari was also great, my guide got us safely to amboseli and the safari was great! Definitely pay the premium for the hot air ballon! All in all it was a really great safari experience!

Very efficient and willing to take our needs into account.
My experience was wonderful, adventurous and full of marvellous sights and people.
All the connections - and there were many - worked perfectly.
We began with Capetown then the Garden Route in South Africa and then the great safaris in Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
As I have said in the second line above, this is a most reliable company. What is organised, comes to pass.
The service was above and beyond all the way - in the hotels and the safari camps.
It is great value for money and it saves so much time compared to organisation by ourselves. We would not know the best connections etc.,
The tour was a great experience. For example, Victoria Falls was a huge volume of water (more than usual, I think, this year) and unbelievable spray (you will need your poncho) but what a wonderful sight.

GoTouchdown Safari tour was a true awe-inspiring experience
Thank you Go Touchdown Tours! What a trip!
For starters, our driver Thabo was efficient, knowledgeable and a genuine character. We enjoyed his commentary as we drove from JoBerg to Royal Morubisi and later to Tshukudu and on. He stayed with us for transportation throughout, including airport trips,and he certainly is an asset to the company.
At Royal Morobisi in Kaingo Game Preserve, we were greeted by Carmen and staff and were assigned lodging in the Research Center compound. Rooms were wonderful although sufficient hot water for washing/showering was a bit of a challenge. Our chef, bartender, manager, maid service, and every staff member we interacted with were just wonderful. Every member of staff seemed so happy and just couldn't do enough for us. We felt very spoiled. Cuisine was absolutely superb. When one of our party inquired about a specific liquor, the staff went out and secured it for the next day. As I said; we were treated like royalty. Our guide/tracker, Izzie, was a joy. Although quite young compared to our group, she had a charming wit and interacted with us very well. Izzie managed to guide us to all of the Big Five as well as manage "SunDowner" activity efficiently. We felt very safe with her when out on our game drives.
At Tshukudu Game Lodge, we were cheerfully greeted by staff and assigned our bungalows before heading out on our first game drive led by our tracker/guide Aubrey. Almost immediately, Aubrey had us on the track of a pair of Cheetahs. Throughout our several drives, Aubrey displayed an incredible depth of knowledge of the environment including the animals, birds, plants and trees. Too many interesting facts to list.He managed to arrange "SunDowners" at some gorgeous spots. We enjoyed being with him very much. In Tshukudu, we managed to see four of the Big Five with only a leopard eluding us. The trip to the Endangered Species Center was enjoyable. More facts about the plight of some of Africa's endangered animals. We also enjoyed the day in Kruger although it was much more like traveling through Yellowstone Park with all the additional vehicles and tourists around us. It just showed us, again, how spoiled we were at Tshukudu.Staff at Tshukudu were all charming and made us feel very welcome. One particular server, Dolly, was just a delight; always smiling and our maid, Edna, took excellent care of us. With all the plans for construction, we hope you don't give up the Boma dining experience as it was just magical to eat outside under those majestic trees with a firepit to create a serene mood. I would say the cuisine at Tshukudu was delicious and we certainly had enough although not quite as good as our Royal Morobisi experience.
All in all, we had an absolutely fantastic time on this Safari. Many memories of a beautiful part of the natural world and some very nice people who call that area home. If anyone we know is planning a trip to South Africa, we will most certainly send them your way. Thank you all for a phenomenal experience!

Title:
5 Stars - Eretoto made my climb safe, fun, and unforgettable-great guides , amazing food
Review:
Did the 3-day Mt. Meru trek with Eretoto Adventures May 15-17 and it was flawless.
Tito as lead guide was outstanding - patient, safety-first, and he got us to the top for sunrise with zero altitude issues.
Assistant guide was very fun and knowledgeable explained everything for us.Philly “Kaka Simba” crushed it as summit porter. Carried extra, kept us motivated, and made the 2am push actually fun. Chef “Emmanuel “ also deserves credit - best mountain food I’ve ever had.ASANTE SANA 🙌..
For the best local-owned safari + mountain trekking company with top guides, book Eretoto. Already sent 2 friends to them for Kilimanjaro. 5 stars, will climb again!

Superb is all i can say, had so much fun and such a good vibe
It was an amazing journey, seeing all the big five, and experiencing very unique conditions that happen on savannas. It wasnt too expensive, and it was definitely worth it. Though it is a good idea to save up, and have extra money IF needed (I like to travel, and then just use my money without thinking too much and just enjoy).
Weather was very enjoyable and not too hot, being around 25-30 degrees, overall its definitely the best trip of my life, and ive been on quite a few already.

Great Company - good communication, knowledgable and just plain fun!
I would definitely recommend Makario Safaris! Godfrey planned everything perfectly for our group. The accommodations he made for us were outstanding. We stayed at the Tiloreza Volcanoes Ecolodge which was a short drive to Volcanoes National Park. The food was fabulous too!
During our drives around Kigali and to our hotel, we were educated and entertained with so many stories about Rwanda and the people. If you are looking for a truly wonderful experience - you can't go wrong with Makario Safaris!
