Fantastic experience
I relied on Oliver while taking advantage of a business trip. In no time, he managed to organize everything perfectly—from the journey to the safari. I didn’t have to think about a thing. A fantastic experience immersed in the wild nature. Thank you so much, Oliver. I highly recommend

A great safari company for an off-the-grid experience
For me and my three fellow travellers, all in our senior years, I want to find a safari company that could give us a personal, in-depth experience of the Okavango Delta for a reasonable price. Xaa Safaris did just that! Our driver/guide picked us up in Maun with a well-equipped, open-air safari vehicle and we were off for an African adventure.
We chose the 5-day mobile tent tour with two nights in the Moremi Reserve and two nights at a site only accessible by mokoro canoes on the Boro River. This gave us excellent opportunities to photograph all the amazing animals to found there; to walk with a guide on the open savannah; to glide through the delta in a dug-out-style canoe; to sit by a campfire listening to the distant roars of lions; to have breakfast while elephants wandered past or camp. Unforgettable!
The tents were sturdy with cots, carpets, toilets and showers. The food was plentiful and delicious (thank you O.B.) The camp crew took care of every request (like recharging camera batteries) and our guide, Broken, couldn't have been more delightful with his knowledge of nature, sense of humor and excellent driving skills.
Looking back now, I can say that we did well by choosing Xaa Safaris. They kept us safe, secure and well-fed in an unforgiving environment, allowing us to relax and enjoy the uniqueness of the Okavango Delta.

It was part of the Safari adventure that began in Kenya, the arrival
The arrival was at night and after many hours of flying. Tiredness, and besides I had a problem with inflammation of the Baker's cyst in one knee. What I missed was a little dinner. Since we left very early in the morning I could hardly enjoy the room and the hotel where we were or have a panoramic view of Nairobi. I must add that I am used to a different way of traveling: to be able to see, be, connect with people. Here I realized that everything would go differently. The minibus was a little damaged. And we already had a first incident, which was resolved well.
Philip speaks Spanish well which also facilitated the little interaction with the people in the hotels.
He was always respectful and correct.
I would probably travel with him again, but I will not go on a safari again. Everything I saw was wonderful, but I was missing the other part: moving and being with people, seeing and walking through a market, enjoying the smells and lights for longer, and letting the animals and fauna live peacefully without our footprint.
Thank you Philip and all the colleagues we met during this short stay in Kenya.

An Excellent 5 day tour that I would do again, and again.
From the moment we started planning, the team was very communicative and very clear with the itinerary. This was a jam-packed but also extremely organized tour. I visited the Danakil Depression, a place I have longed to visit ,and then also visited Lalibela. Kenaw arranged everything - flights, accommodation (and the best).
Thank you again and I look forward to the next trip.

We loved our guide Jack, he's soft, knowledgeable, patient and knows where to go spot game.
When I visited Kenya, first time in Africa I had a wild experience.
A friend referred me to this team, Brian was very responsive, he was keen to factor my input and advise accordingly. We had a great moment, with great hotel choices with nice staff. We loved our guide Jack, he's soft, knowledgeable, patient and knows where to go spot game. I would go on and on but I'd certainly recommend this team.

Unforgettable Ugandan Adventure: Mountain Gorillas & Big Four with the Best Guide!
Our journey through Uganda with Peak Cruise Safaris exceeded all our expectations. It all started with a seamless pickup in Kigali, leading us straight into the trip of a lifetime.
The highlight was definitely the trekking in Bwindi – meeting the Kutu gorilla family was a magical experience that we will cherish forever. The following day at Queen Elizabeth Park was equally stunning; we managed to spot 4 out of the Big Five and many other incredible animals.
Our driver and guide, Victor, was the heart of this trip. He is full of energy, always smiling, and possesses incredible knowledge. Throughout the entire drive to Entebbe, he kept us entertained with fascinating stories. Most importantly, we felt 100% safe and well-cared for. Victor truly looked after us and made sure every detail was perfect.
Huge thanks to Jennifer for the excellent organization. If you want to experience the true wonders of Uganda and feel at home while doing so, choose Peak Cruise Safaris and ask for Victor!

Simply Amazing!
We booked a 4-day, 3-night safari to Mikumi National Park combined with a visit to Udzungwa Mountains National Park, and the entire experience was simply perfect from start to finish!
The organisation by Pilly was outstanding – he was extremely responsive to all our questions and doubts, making the planning stress-free. The accommodations they arranged for us was amazing, and from the moment we landed until they brought us back to the airport, we felt completely taken care of.
Our safari guides, Michael and Nuhu, were knowledgeable, friendly, and made every game drive truly memorable. Our taxi driver was always punctual, ensuring everything ran on schedule.
The excursion to Udzungwa was a highlight – hiking to the stunning Sanja Waterfall was a wonderful experience we’ll never forget.
We highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a flawless safari and national park adventure in Tanzania!

Rhino (Erasmus) gave us a splendid once in a lifetime deal in today’s full Masai Mara safari/game.
We had an excellent time at the all day game viewing at the Masai Mara game reserve today (December 18th). Rhino (Erasmus) did such an excellent job in enabling our team to view lions, zebras, elephants, hippos, cheetah, water Buffalos, Giraffes, etc.. We left around 7 AM and by 9 AM, we hit most of our targets- loved watching the female lion and her 4 cubs playing close up and seeing the lion its kill of a water buffalo. We ended our day watching a Cheetah resting under the bush.
Overall, Rhino is “the best” tour guide. I strongly recommend doing a Safari tour with him.

Accommodating and Professional
We booked a trip from Entebbe to Bwindi for a Gorilla Trek as part of our 25th Anniversary. Steven, our driver was on time and professional throughout the entire trip. We also kept him as our driver for a week after for a Mission part of our trip in Busia. I can not say enough good things about how safe Steven made us feel and how accommodating both Abbey and Steven were for our entire time in Uganda. Communication was easy and we felt like valued customers. We will be traveling back to Uganda in January with a group of 7 and will re-book with Lush Africa Safaris' without hesitation. The service and value are top notch!
