5 ⭐️ Truly Personalized Family Experience
We were extremely happy with our entire Zimbabwe trip, and honestly wish we could have extended our stay. We booked Jonathan after reading the reviews, and I’m so glad we trusted our instincts because he did not disappoint. Jonathan is a superb planner—very responsive, organized, and thoughtful in every detail. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely special as a family.
All our transfers were private, never shared, and the vans were spotless and comfortable. Every ride was prompt, and all the connections and handoffs between tours were incredibly smooth. His tour guide, Mr. T, was just as warm and accommodating. Our family felt secure, cared for, and well-guided throughout the entire trip.
They even helped us with border crossings and navigating the immigration lines, which made a huge difference and took away so much stress. Jonathan’s quote was also very well priced compared to other operators. I sometimes worry when a company has only a handful of reviews, but this time I’m grateful I followed my gut—Jonathan exceeded every expectation.
If you’re undecided, don’t be. Book with Jonathan. We can guarantee you will not regret choosing a truly personalized, family-centered tour with African Fairytale Tours.

Unforgettable safari
I had an unforgettable safari experience in the Serengeti. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
The guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and so much more—often from very close distances.
The accommodation was comfortable, clean, and well-located, and sleeping while hearing lions roar around the camp was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, authentic, and truly memorable safari in Tanzania.

50th Birthday trip to South Africa
It was awesome. Verity and her team planned everything — from hotels to regional airfare and tours — and we truly didn’t have to think about anything. Everything flowed perfectly, which made my 50th birthday trip to South Africa completely stress-free and unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a trip, especially a special occasion.
Great tour and guide!
We had an amazing time on our 9-day trip to Uganda. Levan was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely kind. We saw an incredible number of animals in every park we visited, and all of the lodges were comfortable and well chosen. The gorilla trekking was truly unforgettable and the highlight of the trip. Highly recommend this tour company for an incredible Uganda experience.

Lawrence was a great tour operator, friendly and accommodating and very good at finding animals
We had a fantastic 4 days with Lawrence as tour guide and Pascal as our chef. We were a group of seven and visited 3 amazing national parks, staying in tents at night and being cooked food in the evenings. We saw up close countless lions, elephants, giraffes etc and loved driving through the Serengeti in the sun enjoying the scenery and incredible array of animals. Lawrence was very accommodating and knew how to find the animals, these national parks really are incredible. A truly memorable experience and would highly recommend this tour company.

Incredible experience
We booked the safari with Josh Dreamland Safari. Our agent, Elisabeth, communicated really well, kept us fully up to date, and even stopped by our hotel one day before the safari to make sure everything was alright. She also surprised us with T-shirts! She is amazing and truly great at her job.
Adrian was our guide for our 5-day safari, and we couldn’t have asked for better. Even though we were on a tight schedule, he managed to show us all the parks, the Big Five, and so much more. He is a skilled and confident driver, has a lot of knowledge about the wildlife and surroundings, and took excellent care of the car every single day 😄. He even taught us some Swahili and made sure everyone was enjoying the trip at all times.
During the safari we were also accompanied by chef Richard, who prepared amazing meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He was incredibly attentive to my gluten intolerance and made sure I could eat safely, while also ensuring everyone was well-fed with delicious food. Thanks to all of them, the safari was an unforgettable experience!
