Victoria falls walk Zimbabwe and Zambia
My son and I did the Victoria falls walk with Thuba this last December and it was marvellous.
We enjoyed it a lot; it was super beautiful and Thuba was super nice and kind.
10 out of 10 because of Thuba!!

Very nice and responsive.
The short 3-day safari really impressed me by the great scenery and diverse animals. Living in a tent is totally a new and adventurous experience for me. Most importantly, our guide Sammie is really a nice and friendly person. He took us to see different animals and let us capture every beautiful and memorable moment. Highly recommend this trip and our tour guide.

DIABOLICAL
DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY
We paid a deposit to AfricanKenyaSafaris for a safari but cancelled on 6 August 2025 after reading numerous extremely poor reviews. We were told clearly that our deposit would be refunded within 60 days.
I dealt with Mary from their customer service team, who originally made the booking. On 21 September, I contacted her to check on the progress of the refund and was told she would follow up with the accounts department and get back to me the next day.
That never happened.
After that, Mary completely stopped responding. I sent follow-up messages on 22 September, 24 September, 26 September, and 5 October with no reply at all.
On 5 October, I contacted another AfricanKenyaSafaris account listed on their website and provided screenshots showing the lack of response from Mary and the poor customer service. I was told someone would come back to me by the end of the day. They didn’t. I have chased this twice since, again with no response.
This has been an extremely frustrating and stressful experience. Once they have your money, communication stops. At this point it feels dishonest and untrustworthy.
Awful customer service, no accountability, and no refund despite promises. Avoid this company.
Amazing
Suricata Safaris was a 10/10 experience for my first safari. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again whenever I am back in Tanzania. Our guide Lewis was amazing he knew all the areas where the animas were going to be and because of this we were able to spot all of the big 5. Thank you for making this experience so special I will cherish these memories forever!

Excellent, personalized safari trip for our family of 4, highlight includes viewing ALL big 5
While finalizing the tour operator we had several options and quotes. Our criteria was to go with a local operator (to support them) at the same time who can provide us personalized and more immersive tour ensuring we learn and experience local culture, flora and fauna. Now that the safari is complete, highly recommend John and his Sercar Serengeti Wildlife Safaris, we couldn't have asked for more.
John and his team were extremely accessible right from the time we sent the inquiry to welcoming us in Tanzania to following up during each day of the safari till the send off from Tanzania. Our safari included Serengeti, Ndutu (calving), Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara.
All the accommodations were booked as expected tailoring it for our family of 4 (sometimes with connected rooms)
Our guide, Emmanuel was a local Maasai with deep knowledge of the local culture, flora and fauna and helped us find, view ALL big 5s. Other highlights include, viewing Cerval, a nocturnal cat few times, viewing Cheetah and cubs in Ndutu, hard to find Rhino in Ngorongoro
We also had strict vegetarian diet preference which was handled by John and his team every day and each of the accommodations.

High quality service and an amazing overall experience
I had an incredible safari experience with Gosheni, and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver guide, James Kaaya. From the very beginning, James was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. He put in so much effort to make sure I had an unforgettable experience, and he absolutely delivered. His knowledge of the wildlife, parks, and animal behavior was impressive, and he went out of his way to position the vehicle for the best possible photo opportunities. I never felt rushed and always felt that my experience truly mattered to him.
Gosheni as a company was also excellent to work with. Communication throughout the booking process was clear, prompt, and professional, and everything promised was delivered exactly as expected.
Overall, I would highly recommend Gosheni to anyone considering a safari, and if you get the chance, I strongly suggest doing your safari with James Kaaya - he made the experience truly special.

Experienced, reliable, and genuinely passionate about creating once-in-a-lifetime safari
I did a 3 days / 2 nights safari in Tsavo East and West, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life.
I did extensive research before booking, and Steve stood out immediately. He offered us the best price and was the only one who suggested staying at Lion Hill Safari Lodge. This turned out to be a fantastic choice — the lodge is less crowded, has clean and comfortable rooms, stunning views, and truly amazing food.
We were also incredibly lucky to have such an excellent driver and tour guide. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible, answered all our questions with deep knowledge, and took great care of us throughout the trip. He helped with check-ins, handled our luggage, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
During the safari, we saw giraffes, elephants, lions, buffalos, zebras, and many other animals — an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend reaching out to Steve or Richard for any safari plans. With their many years of experience, they truly know how to create a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure.

The guide was extremely prepared and knowledgeable but lunch services were mostly disappointing
Emmanuel gifted us with wonderful days and thanks to him we were able to see wonderful places and checked the list of all animals. He was prepared for any sort of situation ( he drove 12 hours straight in the rain) (was able to fix all technical issues with cars ex tiers etc). The only downside to comment on is the service we received during our picnic lunches. The food was poor and our guide differently from others did not prepare our table nor help us carry the lunch. There was no coffe no drinks etc

Definitely worth it.
The whole trip was great. From the Hotel pick up and drive to Pilanesberg and the game drive itself was also great. Martin was a great driver.
