Amazing Experience with David
Our 6-day safari adventure in Kruger National Park was truly unforgettable, and much of that was thanks to our exceptional guide, David.
From the very first email, David was warm, friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. His prompt communication made planning the trip effortless, and he took the time to understand exactly what we hoped to experience. He carefully tailored the itinerary to suit our interests, ensuring that every day was meaningful and enjoyable. What impressed us most was the personal attention he gave to each one of us. From the moment we landed until the final day of our tour, he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, comfortable, and well cared for. His hospitality, combined with his great sense of humour, made every day enjoyable and filled with laughter. David's knowledge of the wildlife, birdlife, and the natural environment of Kruger National Park was outstanding. He shared fascinating insights throughout the trip and helped us spot and appreciate many incredible animals and birds that we might otherwise have missed. We would highly recommend him to anyone considering a safari tour. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and entertaining guide, David is your choice.

Book with Global Threads Safaris
I had an excellent experience from start to finish with Global Threads Safaris. I reached out to many companies in my initial research. Madelyne responded with all the information, she was forthcoming, comprehensive in the information shared and always quick to answer any questions. She made the trip an ease. Our guide Francis was exceptional. We saw so many animals and all the logistics were easy and taken care of with ease. I strongly recommend booking with them. Madelyne check in throughout the safari to ensure all was going well. It was the trip of a life time and I am grateful for all the arranging and logistics. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with this company.

Great experience
Our trip across Tanzania and Kenya went extremely smoothly. Our Kenyan guides Erica and Mike, as well as our Tanzanian guide Macha, were all excellent. Macha especially worked tirelessly during the Tanzania part of the journey — the roads were rough and travel took a great deal of time. Our customer service agent Carl was also very reliable. We spotted countless wild animals and witnessed breathtaking scenery across the East African savanna.

Amazing one week safari
Everything went smoothly with Jocky Tours, from when we made first contact with them till the end of the safari. Their email response was always excellent. Airport pickup also went smoothly. We were assigned Evans as guide and he was excellent. What we really liked about him was that he was always attentive about our needs and made best efforts to scout and show the animals to us. We saw lions a lot of times in the entire safari. One thing which particularly stands out was the effort he made to show us leopard in Masai Mara. The first time we reached the place where the leopard was supposed to be, the leopard had left it. We came back later a second time also and had no luck. He later tried again a third time to get us to another place where a leopard was, but it was lying in the grass somewhere and we couldn’t see it. On the fourth time at another place in the grass we finally saw the leopard. What impressed me was always how much effort he made to show us the animals and the patience. The stays were also very good with the Manjaro Tented camp in Amboseli worth mentioning. Overall, we are very satisfied. Just a small feedback maybe to the tour company to improve for other travellers - please consider switching the place for lunch between Masai Mara and Nakuru. The other place for lunch between Nakuru and Naivasha & Naivasha and Amboseli was fine.

Excellent experience and very professional company
We did 4 days mid range luxury Safari for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time during our safari trip. Robert our guide is absolutely the best and you can tell how experienced he truly is! It wouldn’t be the same without him! Thanks again. Will definitely come back and share with friends and family.
We saw the big five !!

The best tour guide we could have asked for!
Abu and the team with Wild Horizon Safaris were top tier. No matter what question or request I had at any time the entire team was prepared to answer. Their knowledge about the amazing animals we saw or culture we learned about was deep and authentic. The cars were in great condition and the popped top was such a fun way to see everything while not getting blasted by dust the entire time. I couldn’t recommend this group more!!

Amazing experience, highly recommend
The agency picked me up from a hotel in Joburg, arranged every day everything was smooth and confortable. Great rides through Kruger part as well as the private reserve. The private reserve guide let us pick what we want to see or hunt down. I saw baby lion with his mum, we had a picnik with the sunset by the lake with hippos. I saw cheetahs going hunting in the morning. 10/10 highly recommend as a safari experience! :)

Incredible destination to see the mountain gorillas
Incredible trip to Bwindi NP, to see the mountain gorillas. Lovely lodges with stunning scenic views. Unbelievable experience to spend time with the mountain gorillas. Great work of the trackers and rangers who protect these wild and untouched places!

Perfect Zanzibar Tour
Safari pals tours was the perfect way to experience Zanzibar as a solo traveler. I came to visit the island with a general itinerary of what I wanted to do, but no concrete plans. I knew I wanted to visit the Salaam Turtle cave and go dolphin watching. I quickly realized once I arrived that options for solo travelers were limited or very expensive. Most single tours cost upwards of $150 and cost extra for transportation. Seeing that Zanzibar has limited options to arrange your own transport (uber and bolt do not work/only work in certain areas), I wasn’t sure how I’d get to do everything on my list without spending an arm and a leg. I looked on safaribookings to find a guide and came across Safari Pals. I reached out to see what my options were for the places I wanted to see, especially considering I was transferring from Jambiani (south of Zanzibar) up to Nungwi (northern Zanzibar). The operator gave me multiple options to work with my schedule at a reasonable budget. They assigned me a driver/guide, Mohamed, who made the whole trip perfect. He knew how to navigate everything I wanted to do and made me feel completely at home there to the point where I never had to lift a finger. His knowledge and hospitality made my trip a breeze and put Tanzania at one of my top destinations (for reference, I’ve been to 31 countries, so I am picky!). He remained easy to reach even after the 2 tour days were over, which allowed me to arrange transport to the airport easily! I highly recommend safari pals- ask for Mohamed M. for a smooth and wonderful trip!!
