A perfectly organised safari.
Emmelyn organised a last minute safari for my husband and I. It was a 4 night Okavango Delta trip using two camps . She arranged the flights from Johannesburg ,all the way through to the camps, the pick ups, chose the camps etc. It was a most perfect itinerary....very well organised. We had a great time.

Amazing experience!
It was just amazing!
We received a very warm welcome from Lydia and Manuel right at the airport, which immediately made us feel at ease. We had booked a 7-day safari, and our jeep was fully occupied with seven people.
The first five days were dedicated to safari, followed by two days near Mount Kilimanjaro. The organization we booked with was extremely reliable—whenever we had a question and reached out via WhatsApp, we always received quick and helpful responses.
Our safari guide Lucas was very friendly and always took the time to answer our questions, sharing lots of interesting insights about the national parks, the animals, and everyday life in Tanzania. Every lunch we were served was warm and delicious. We had booked a low-budget option and spent two nights in a small tent, which we can only recommend.
We also went on a hike to Mandara Hut in Kilimanjaro National Park with our guide Joel, who was very kind and, to our surprise, spoke excellent German.
On the second day, our driver and guide was Geoffrey. He was incredibly friendly, provided us with a lot of information, and was an outstanding guide overall.
We can highly recommend this experience with Kilipath!

Awesome Safari
Our safari was absolutely fantastic! We booked the 7-day shared safari tour, and everything was perfectly organized from the very beginning. The booking process was smooth, and even shortly before the tour started, we were able to make changes according to our wishes, including adding a hot air balloon ride.
The safari itself was amazing. Our guide and driver was always punctual, friendly, and very helpful. Even though it was a shared tour, we saw an incredible number of animals—it was truly unforgettable.
The short but challenging hike to Kilimanjaro was great, and our guide even spoke German, which was a nice surprise. The waterfall tour with Geoffrey was also a highlight. He is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, and made the experience a lot of fun.
Communication with the office, especially with Lydia, was outstanding. She was always available, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.
I would highly recommend Kilipath to any of my friends. Thank you for these unforgettable memories and for such a wonderful experience!

Amazing trip!!
We had an unforgettable 4 days trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks! The organization was perfect. Every detail of the itinerary was thoughtfully tailored to our preferences and the experiences we wanted to have. I highly recommend this safari company, especially fantastic guide Hendry! He is also mountain guide, and excellent driver. All Accommodations was awesome, no questions. Thank Anna for assisting and accompany us. The childhood dream comes true! Thanks a lot!

3-day-tour Nyerere National Park - we advice
We can highly recommend African Pangolin Safaris as an organizer. They are very friendly, very flexible, and always provide accurate information about the trip, including travel conditions and billing. We especially recommend our tour guide, Gabriel. He was not only our driver but also our perfect guide, both on the full-day tour in the national park and during our visit to a Maasai group. He was always attentive and calm around the animals. Cheerful and always genuinely concerned for our well-being, he was very approachable and engaged in lively discussions about many topics. As a driver, we were impressed by his extensive and very safe driving skills. Thank you so much! We also recommend the tour itself. The 5-6 hour round trip from Dar es Salaam offers many memorable experiences (two-thirds on a roughroad). The boat trip with hippos is also highly recommended. The full-day tour through Nyerere National Park is packed with 12 hours of unforgettable moments. The number of jeeps in the national park is very manageable! On the day of departure, we visited a Maasai group, which was also informative and friendly. We would gladly book with them again.

Absolut Professionalism and Honesty!
Excellent! The service and attention we received from the very first contact regarding trip planning were outstanding. Joshua helped us create an itinerary tailored to our expectations, allowing us to complete the full circuit covering Masai Mara (Kenya), Serengeti (Tanzania), and Ngorongoro (Tanzania). Joshua is highly professional, courteous, and, above all, very honest. We encountered one minor issue at our final accommodation, but Joshua stepped in personally to resolve it immediately. A truly professional and honest individual. We requested private transport and luxury hotels, and the experience was excellent. We had two guide-and-driver teams—one in Kenya and one in Tanzania. Although young, they were all deeply committed and personable, turning a long journey into a wonderful experience. My recommendation to anyone contacting Joshua and Bavuma is to ensure the entire plan is agreed upon and confirmed upfront; in our case, he prepared a detailed, day-by-day itinerary covering the full eight days of the trip. It included everything: airport transfers upon arrival in Kenya, a light aircraft flight to our first stop in Masai Mara, luxury accommodation, transport, meals, safari drives, and a hot air balloon ride. The service was excellent. The Tanzania team, in particular—Esteban (guide) and Barack (driver)—was delightful; they were highly professional, punctual, and friendly. We had evaluated many agencies while planning our trip, but it was often difficult to get a response, secure good pricing, or find someone willing to accommodate all our requests—yet Joshua delivered on everything. Bavuma Wild Quest is definitely an excellent choice for a safari.

An Unforgettable Safari with an Outstanding Guide
Our safari with Special Moments Africa was one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania. The communication before the tour was excellent, and everything was organized exactly as promised. From the moment we were picked up, we felt well taken care of.
Our safari guide, Vincent, was fantastic. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. He made sure we had the best viewing opportunities while sharing interesting information about the animals and the parks. His driving skills and calm demeanor made us feel safe throughout the journey.
The accommodations, food, and overall itinerary exceeded our expectations, and the experience was an excellent value for the money. As a vegan traveler, my dietary needs were also accommodated, which I really appreciated.
I would highly recommend Special Moments Africa to anyone looking for a reliable safari company. Thank you, Vincent, for making this an unforgettable adventure!

Fantastic
We booked a three day Safari to the Mara Sopa Lodge in Maasai Mara game reserve. We chose to fly to the resort (which was great fun). We were picked up on time from our resort, taken to the Safari airport and were picked up by our guide for three days as soon as we arrived. We began our safari as soon as we left the airfield. Our guide, Kalvin, was very informative and made sure we saw as much as possible. By the time we got to the Resort, we had seen giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and elephants. We settled in and he picked us up again by 3:30 and we were off. We were actually lucky enough to see a lioness hunting a zebra. It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever witnessed. She was so intense. The animals actually don’t care at all about the safari vehicles - they totally ignore them. She crossed the road right in front of us and never took her eyes off the zebras. A male lion was a distance away, apparently waiting for her to get dinner. She eventually gave up but then we came on more of her pride and watched them successfully bring down a zebra. Luckily the kill happened in some brush so we did not see it but the zebras who had escaped were calling and making distressed calls for their downed comrade and it made us sad for them. Of course we understand the circle of life and everybody needs to eat…but..it is difficult to witness. After about 7pm we returned to our resort and had a wonderful dinner. The food and staff at the Mara Sopa Lodge were outstanding. Everyone is so friendly and warm. We got picked up by 4am the next morning for a hot air balloon adventure. Do Not Miss this activity. There are no words to describe the beauty of the Savannah in the sunrise. After, we had a camp breakfast set up for us with champagne and a fantastic buffet of breakfast food. Kalvin picked us up from the breakfast and we were off for another full day of adventure, seeing more wild animals than we could have imagined. The next morning we were picked up and did a great safari drive back to the airstrip and then flew back to Nairobi. It was wonderful start to finish. Actually 10 Stars! We would also like to give a shout out to the people that took us from our hotel to the airstrip and back to our hotel. We believe that the young lady was with the TELLENA Company and then her younger brother was with us (as well as the driver). Her brother (who we just didn’t get his name) was so full of information and we loved talking with him.
