A pleasant and blessed trip that I got to know so many nice people and saw many animals
I was nervous before the trip because I was alone as female with limited English and it was my first time to Africa.
But it eventually it was a pleasant trip.Picking up in the airport and sending to hotel after safari ensured me the sense of security.
The food were yummy and I did not have food anxiety. The trip mates from different countries were all very kind and considerate. There were no hidden charge, fee was clear and accurate. The most lucky part for me was that we did not shift the guide and car, and almost team members.All the way the guide driver Simon was very helpful and gentle.He drove well and knew how to track the animals,Kept telling us about those animals. It was a wonderful trip.

Great value experience
8-day, 7-night safari during the 2026 calving season. The Toyota Land Cruiser was in excellent condition, with comfortable cushioned seats, unlimited bottled water and drinks, and we opted for a hot lunch – every meal was delicious. Most fortunately, our guide was Radar Joseph, once named the best guide by a Tanzanian travel guide! He was sincere, meticulous, and cheerful, possessing extensive wildlife knowledge and radar-like search abilities, and an intimate knowledge of Tanzania's national parks. I once asked Joseph, "How do you know every road in the vast Serengeti?" He replied, "Reference points + 13 years of experience." My teammates love birdwatching, and Joseph possessed incredibly rich bird knowledge. When we apologized to Joseph for the frequent stops for bird photography, he always said, "Hakuna matata – that's what you came for!" Joseph was exceptionally skilled at tracking animals. In the Gol Koppies area of southeastern Serengeti, a cheetah mother with her two cubs jumped onto our SUV! The vast Serengeti plains, only one SUV, three cheetahs! This was a highlight of our Tanzanian Safari! Besides his extensive professional knowledge, Joseph also paid exceptional attention to detail. For example, he carefully covered our suitcases with cotton sheets; thoughtfully parked the best spots for us; and after our Serengeti game drive, our car was always spotless the next day, even though it was covered in mud. When there was no water to wash at the campsite, he wiped it clean with cloths. He even thoughtfully gave the extra beef and other hot food from lunch to the sanitation workers. Joseph, a highly skilled and caring gold-medal guide, provided our family with an outstanding Safari experience. Thank you Lappet Faced Safari, thank you Joseph!

Experience of a Lifetime!
Splendid vacations put together the most incredible trip for us! Our Safari guide James picked us up at the Airport hotel and immediately began building rapport making us feel comfortable and ready to enjoy our first safari under his guidance. From his excellent driving to knowledge about animals and true desire to make sure we had the most incredible experience, we couldn’t have asked for more! All of the accommodations in which we stayed exceeded our expectations and the hospitality level was so high with everyone being so friendly and asking what they could do to make our stay most enjoyable. We will certainly be recommending James, our tour director Maryann and splendid vacations, to our friends and family.

Nicholas is a true professional
My wife and I love to travel and we diligently research travel options. We narrowed the east Africa tour companies to five, then interviewed three and Nicholas stood head and shoulders above the rest. We were mainly interested in primates so we decided Uganda had more to offer than Rwanda. We did not want a canned tour. Nicholas arranged, small airplane travel to Bwindi then our guide transported us to Queen Elizabeth Park for a river Safari and then finally Kibale for chimpanzee trekking. Initially we were a little concerned about safety, but the people of Uganda are so kind. Especially the men are quick to laugh. Our guide Justus had family from the area so he easily spoke with everyone along the trip and we felt very comfortable. We also decided to visit Tanzania where wildebeest and zebras were birthing their calves for the beginning of the great circular migration. Nicholas was able to coordinate all of the small plane travel within Uganda as well as the international plane travel to Tanzania. There were some last-minute flight changes, as usual, and Nicholas was always available and he contacted us during each transition to make sure everything went smoothly. The lodges he recommended were excellent. Nicholas is a true professional much like I remember travel agents in the United States in the 1900s. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing Adventures, Landscapes, and Animal Viewing
Booking with Nature Travel Namibia was an easy experience. Pepi clearly communicated a proposed itinerary, cost, and finalized our itinerary according to our requests. Ahead of the trip Pepi reached out to confirm our bookings, notify us who our guide would be, as well as providing a general packing list and what to expect. We highly recommend starting the trip by heading south and then working up towards Etosha. Some of the highlights were spending time on the coast, eating fresh seafood, spending time in the national parks which were amazing for seeing nature, and exploring the dunes. The landscape of Namibia has a lot of variety and even driving five minutes it looks like you are in a different world.
Mr. Lucky was our travel guide and he went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. He is a very experienced guide! He had great tips for us while trying game meat, explaining the language dialects, and spotting wild life.
One downside was some of our accommodations seemed more dated and in need of updating. However, the overall experience was still amazing! We would love to travel back to Namibia again and would consider booking future travel adventures with Nature Travel Nambia.

Arusha National Park
This was our second time using Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. Isreal and Daudi didn't disappoint. They were so knowledgeable about the animals and land. The walking section definitely made the day perfect. Lunch at the lake was amazing and were the views. I appreciated our game driver's cadence for stops. We had a ton of great sightings and close encounters.

Amazing
David was a very dedicated, reliable, and overall amazing driver and tour guide. The team was able to quickly and independently pivot to a great alternative when my original lodging fell through due to heavy rainfall, making the experience stress-free for me.

Flexible, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and genuinely happy to meet all of our needs.
My husband and I met working close to Mwanza many years ago. It was so special for us to relive our time in this wonderful part of the world. There were five of us, including our young friend who managed to meet family in Burundi. We had an awesome trip on safari, animals so close Tenting camps a super experience. Juma was a spectacular guide, changed schedules easily, with excellent advice and always a smile. Our safari driver was the best with so many stories to tell. This made our trip. Nongwi in the north of Zanzibar was a beautiful place to relax, take boat trips and swim in the turquoise ocean. So much to see and experience and we all loved it.

Fantastic
My tour of Addis Ababa was absolutely fantastic! My guide, Saleamlak was knowledgeable, professional, and full of energy—bringing the city’s deep history, culture, and beauty to life en-route and at every stop. From the breathtaking views at Mount Entoto to the meeting Lucy and visit at the National Museum and the traditional coffee experience.
Even though it was a Sunday we could still experience the amazing Merkato Market, every moment was rich with learning and joy. I left with a deeper appreciation for Ethiopia’s vibrant heritage and warm hospitality. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Addis Ababa!
Once again thank you to Saleamlak and his dedicated driver Eshetu!

Excellence delivered
They promised excellent services and they delivered. My sister had the perfect honeymoon thanks to Halal Safaris.
They were patient with the planning process and provided options that fit our budget.
They went above and beyond to cover timing issues that came with weddings and did not complain, not one bit.
