Best Safari experience!
My husband and I had a wonderful 7-day trip with our guide James! We just to had arrive with our luggage and everything was booked and taken care of from A-Z. Their land cruiser handled all the tough terrains like a beast and was very comfortable for the long journeys from one NP to the other. All the stays provided were breathtakingly beautiful properties with great hospitality and we couldn't get enough of them! We were lucky to witness and capture some incredible action like lions trying to hunt down warthogs, a shy leopard climbing down a tree after getting some rest, two baby elephants play fighting against the backdrop of beautiful sunset and many more, all thanks to our pro-active and knowledgeable guide, James. His understanding and compassion for wildlife is commendable and we are very sure our experience wouldn't have been what it was without him. I would 100% recommend this operator to anyone I know, planning to go on a Kenyan safari. They have patiently answered my innumerable queries during booking enquiry and have been very accomodative of my itinerary needs. Thanks for making this our best trip ever!

Tanzanian unforgettable safari
In short: We loved the whole thing! Six of us took part in the four-day safari tour.
In detail: From the first contact, the staff were very helpful. We left Zanzibar to Arusha, then we went to the foot of Kilimanjaro to the Materuni waterfall and learned about the secrets of coffee production/making. The next day, we went to Serengeti National Park, where we spent one night, then continued on to Ngorongoro Crater, where we also spent one night, followed by a half-day Ngorongoro safari, then we went back to the airport and returned to Zanzibar.
James, our driver and tour guide, is a very experienced professional. He is very nice, helpful, and has a lot knowledge of wildlife.
We can recommend Simbaland Magic Tours with complete confidence. They were able to help with everything: airport transfers, purchasing plane tickets and organizing the entire safari.

Reagan is caring and responsive; James and Steve are both professional safari drivers
For people who might be looking for a local travel guide for a private safari in Kenya and/or Tanzania, I recommend contacting Reagan from Nature Path Travels. My overall travel experience has been so smooth, and Reagan is caring and responsive to different personalized inquiries. Also, the drivers he selected for the safari (James from Kenya; Steve from Tanzania) were both very professional (let the professionals search for the wild animals for you is the best choice you have while in a safari). I managed to see all the big fives and some very rare animals in short distance (while I heard some other travelers led by other travel guide could barely see a lion in a long distance...)

Extremely attentive to detail
Compass Odyssey were recommended to us by a friend and they proved an excellent choice. Although they are a small company they were super responsive and very flexible when it came to recommending and booking our Safari vacation across Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Their support and advice during the trip was exemplary - everything went extremely smoothly and we had the holiday of a lifetime. We also had a very useful de-brief when we got home. Darren and Kate are lovely people and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

A dreamfull and very well plant and organised Holiday! Allways again!
With thit Travel Operator I make a big Lucky stroke!
This company did not only put the trip wonderful together, rather also the selection of the different lodges was very well.
The beginning and the end of the trip was in Entebbe.
I was reliably picked up from the airport and also brought back for departure.
The Rhino Sancturay, the Muchison Falls National Park and als the Kidipo-Nationalpark were part of the program.
Like announced I get the chance to see not only Rhinso, but also Elefants and Buffalos and Lions, Giraffes and Zebras and many different kinds of Antilopes, like Impalas, Elen Antelopes, Ughande kobs, Bushbucks, Kudus, Dik-Diks and also Hyenas and different typs of crocodiles .
Also many typs of buirds we saw, like Eagles and different typs of Storks and Kingfishers.
Not only the Muchison Falls but also the Sipi falls impressed me very much.
Finally, I would like to emphasize, that the German-speaking Driver had a competent answer to all my questions about the country and its people and was able to provide an answer for each individual animal species.
I always felt well cared for!

Unforgettable days and experiences in Uganda!
Many thanks to Isolde and Jones!
We had 19 unforgettable days in Uganda. The diverse range of activities (game drives, walking safaris, biotope safaris, and mountain climbing) gave us a wonderful and profound insight into the culture and, above all, the diverse wildlife of this fantastic country. Isolde is a true organizational talent, and Jones provided us with the best possible support, for example, when it came to choosing the gorilla group or the top guide for the boat trip in the Nile Delta, where, thanks to his expertise, we actually found three shoebills.
The choice of lodges was outstanding in terms of standard and, above all, location. All in all, they were always extremely flexible in responding to our individual wishes and needs. The whole package was simply exceptional, and I can recommend to everyone—especially first-time visitors to Africa—to discover this amazing country with Isolde and her team!
Thanks again!
Best regards, Jürgen
