Danakil Depression
Excellent service from Danil. He helped me organize my trip to the Danakil Depression, answered all my questions, and made sure everything went smoothly during the tour. On my last day, with some free time, he also arranged a driver to help me explore more of Addis Ababa.

Exceeds Expectations
I was booked for a 2-week tour in South Africa starting in late September and decided to add a short trip to Kenya on the front end to try and catch some of the Great Migration. I arranged a 4-day 3-night custom trip with Peter at Africa Flash McTours and convinced one of the friends traveling on the South Africa portion to join me in Kenya. It far exceeded our expectations. We were driven to the airport in Nairobi and took a short flight to an airstrip in the Masai Mara. We quickly connected with our private driver, Felix, and we were on our way with our first safari. We started seeing animals within 5 minutes of starting the drive. Felix spent the next couple hours driving us around as we got oriented to the new landscape and all it had to offer. As we neared lunchtime, he drove to the lodge (Soroi Luxury Migration Camp) which was a new small lodge (holds < 20 visitors) only a couple years old and situated on a river. The tents were roomy and well-appointed with king size beds as well as a separate room with a desk and single bed, en suite facilities, a large viewing window overlooking the river, and a spacious verandah with comfortable chairs to sit in and enjoy the neighboring wildlife. The food was amazing and the overall service impeccable. Besides the daily safaris, I also had Peter include an early morning Hot Air Balloon ride over the savannah, and a Sundowner one evening. Both were really worth the money. The balloon ride gives you a unique perspective of the area with a bird’s eye view of groups of migrating animals, herds of antelope, and elephants feeding by the river. It was followed by a buffet champagne breakfast in the bush where a huge nearby herd of zebras ignored us and eventually surrounded us (in a good way!). For the sundowner I thought we’d get 2 chairs, 2 glasses, and a bottle of wine. We got MUCH more with fresh cooked appetizers and a bartender tending a mini bar to provide us with refreshments while we watched the sunset. We did a LOT in those few days, and it was incredible. We even managed to see the Big Five and some herds of Cape Buffalo/Wildebeest/Zebras of the end of the 2025 Great Migration.
When I decided on going to Kenya, I made a short list of what I was looking for in a camp and activities and sent emails to several of the smaller local operators. I chose Africa Flash McTours for their competitive price, willingness to modify as needed, and the fantastic responsiveness considering the 9-hour time difference. I was not disappointed. Truly an amazing trip.

An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari with Predators Safari Club
My husband and I booked a 10-day safari through Tanzania with Predators Safari Club, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. Our itinerary included Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and both the Northern and Southern Serengeti—an incredible and perfectly balanced journey.
We booked directly with Predators Safari Club and worked with Hussein during the planning process. From start to finish, Hussein was extremely helpful, responsive, and patient. The entire booking process was smooth, and he was always willing to explore options and availability to help us create the perfect itinerary and accommodations for our honeymoon.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted by our amazing guide, Thomas—and we honestly could not have been luckier. Thomas was exceptional in every way: incredibly knowledgeable, kind, friendly, professional, and well prepared. Throughout the safari, we always felt safe and confident in his care. He consistently positioned us perfectly for wildlife sightings, and his animal-spotting skills were nothing short of extraordinary. We were blown away by his deep knowledge of the national parks and the many species that call them home.
We spent a lot of time driving between parks, and we genuinely loved every moment with Thomas. He was wonderful company, and we truly enjoyed getting to know him, hearing about his life, and learning so much from him along the way.
The entire experience was seamless and exceeded our expectations. The vehicle was excellent, the service was outstanding, and we felt incredibly well cared for throughout the entire trip. This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we loved every single second.
We cannot recommend Predators Safari Club highly enough. Thank you to Hussein, Predators Safari Club, and especially Thomas for making our honeymoon absolutely unforgettable! We cannot wait to be back one day! With gratitude - Brianna & Jonny
The staff at Mdluli Game Lodge made this such and amazing experience and the lodge was fabulous!
The Mdluli Game Lodge is inside Kruger and has a private area only accessible by their staff. The drivers were very personable and knowledgeable about the animals. We were there in Spring (November) and while this made everything green and more lush (and harder to see distance), the animals were very active and we got to see them all close up. One morning, we had up close experiences with 4 of the big 5 (everything but the Rhino), usually with just our truck. The lodge was beautiful and exceptional value for the price. We also loved that the lodge supported the Mdluli tribe instead of a hotel chain or corporation.

An Unparalleled Journey, All Thanks to Our Incredible Guide
If I had to describe our guide, Charles, in one sentence: he was far more than a guide, he was the guardian, teacher, and friend of our African adventure.
Our safari in Tanzania was truly magnificent because of him. His eyes seemed to hold a living encyclopedia of wildlife. He could spot a hidden cheetah from the slightest movement in the distant grass, and he would patiently take time to explain the wonders of a single acacia tree. His knowledge was astounding.
But what moved us even more than his expertise was his heart. He constantly wore the warmest smile and was always attentive to our needs. He showed deep respect for this land and all its creatures, always keeping a safe distance, never disturbing the animals, and sharing stories that helped us understand the importance of protecting this wilderness.
His professionalism, kindness, and passion truly embodied the spirit and warmth of the African people. Thanks to him, we didn’t just see magnificent sunsets and vast herds of wildebeest, we felt the soul of Africa.
It’s no exaggeration to say he is the best guide we’ve ever had. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, do not miss the chance to travel with Charles, it will be the best decision of your journey.
Thank you, Charles! You’ve etched Africa forever in our hearts.

A reliable local operator that delivers relaxed, well-planned safaris with great attention to detail
We traveled with Armadillo Adventures to explore Tanzania’s Southern Circuit, visiting Nyerere National Park and Ruaha National Park, and the experience was exactly what we hoped for. The landscapes were stunning, the parks felt uncrowded, and the overall pace of the safari was calm and enjoyable.
From the planning stage, communication was clear and straightforward, with honest explanations about the itinerary and costs. The safari itself was well organized and ran smoothly throughout. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive, sharing insights about wildlife behavior and the ecosystem while allowing plenty of time to enjoy each sighting.
Game drives were excellent, with memorable wildlife encounters and peaceful moments that made the Southern Circuit feel special and authentic. The vehicle was comfortable, and daily schedules were handled efficiently.
Overall, this was a well-run safari that offered great value for money and a genuine experience of Southern Tanzania. Armadillo Adventures delivered exactly what was promised, and we would gladly recommend them to travelers looking for a quieter, more natural safari route.

An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari Beyond Our Dreams
We spent months searching, comparing, and dreaming about the perfect safari for our honeymoon, and choosing Oldbeast Vacations turned out to be one of the best decisions of our lives. From the very first conversation, we felt understood, cared for, and genuinely excited about what was being planned for us. This was not just a trip, it was a carefully crafted life experience. Under the leadership of the director, Mwanne, that passion and attention to detail was evident in every step of the journey.
Our adventure included an 8-day safari through Northern Tanzania starting from Arusha, followed by 6 blissful days in Zanzibar, and every single detail was handled seamlessly. Anna was absolutely incredible throughout the booking process. She listened carefully to what we wanted, anticipated what we didn’t even know we needed, and designed an itinerary that felt completely tailored to us. The hotels and safari camps she selected were beautiful, romantic, and perfectly located. We never once felt stressed or uncertain, everything flowed effortlessly.
Then came the safari itself, and there are truly no words strong enough to describe it.
Our guide, Samir, was nothing short of exceptional. With over 13 years of experience, his confidence, calm presence, and deep knowledge were evident from the very first day. He wasn’t just driving us through the parks, he was opening a window into the soul of Tanzania. He understood the animals, their behavior, the land, the culture, and the rhythm of the wilderness in a way that made every moment feel meaningful. He always positioned the vehicle perfectly, getting us incredibly close to wildlife and creating unforgettable views and photos. Long days in the jeep never felt tiring because we felt safe, comfortable, and completely in the best hands.
What truly stood out was how personal the experience was. It was just the two of us in the jeep, while we often saw other vehicles packed with six or seven people. That intimacy made everything more magical. It felt like the wilderness belonged only to us. Samir’s skill and experience were on a completely different level compared to what we observed from larger tour companies, and he made every day feel special.
And the wildlife, it was beyond anything we ever imagined. We saw everything. Leopards resting in trees, rhinos grazing peacefully, hippos submerged in rivers, cheetahs on the move, lions in their raw power, elephants crossing right in front of us, and endless herds of zebras stretching across the plains. There were moments when we simply sat in silence, overwhelmed with emotion, realizing we were witnessing something truly rare and beautiful.
One of the most unforgettable moments of our lives was the hot air balloon safari. Floating silently over the Serengeti at sunrise, watching the land awaken beneath us, was pure magic. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience and something we will cherish forever.
This trip wasn’t just a honeymoon, it was the beginning of our shared story, filled with wonder, awe, and deep gratitude. Oldbeast Vacations didn’t just organize a safari, they created memories that will live in our hearts forever.
To Oldbeast Vacations, to Mwanne, to Anna, and especially to Samir, thank you for giving us an experience that exceeded every expectation. We will never forget this journey, and we would choose you again in a heartbeat.

Professional, Easy to Work With & Very Responsive
We booked our Maasai Mara trip through Wasafiri Destinations, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Truffle was highly professional, responsive, and provided helpful recommendations, presenting us with two lodge options that included both road and air package luxury choices within our budget.
Once we selected the lodge, secure payment details were shared promptly, the booking was confirmed, and we received our travel documents within a couple of days. The documents included a detailed itinerary and a clear breakdown of park fees, which we really appreciated.
As it was our wedding anniversary, Wasafiri Destinations went the extra mile by coordinating with the lodge. We were pleasantly surprised on arrival with a beautifully decorated room, chocolates, a bottle of wine, and a personalized welcome letter from the hotel’s General Manager.
We had a memorable experience and would definitely recommend Wasafiri Destinations for anyone planning travel within Kenya. We look forward to working with them again in the future.
