Avenue of Baobabs
I booked a 5 day trip from Tana to the west coast specifically to see the Boabab trees, which were spectacular. It's a long one-day drive to get there on the national highway which can only be travelled by 4WD. The trip went smoothly. I was met at the airport and dropped off at my hotel, and it had been arranged to met someone to exchange foreign currency with. Mialy kept close tabs on how the trip was going and even arranged for sunscreen and repellent, which I didn't bring, to be available at the next stop. The driver was excellent and I felt safe throughout. The guide spoke adequate English and know the best spots for photos at the Allee des Boababs. It was all well planned and stress free.
Guided tours like this are a must to explore the country, its too much to try on your own. I'd recommend Mi Travel to anyone planning to visit the Boababs. I was a bit wary sending the deposit via Western Union but Mad. doesn't have the same developed banking systems as you find in the west and I needn't have worried. All good and great service throughout.

Moafrika made the safari vacation unforgettable
Would highly recommend organizing with this group. Each guide we had over the week was amazing, especially Eddi who we ended up doing a private Panaroma day tour and safari. Could not praise him or the company more. Made our vacation extra special

A Magical 6-Day Safari in Tanzania with African Big Cats
My experience with African Big Cats for a 6-day safari in Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the trip exceeded all my expectations.
Thanks to our guide, Martini, we were able to spot the Big Five (a dream come true)
Martini's knowledge of the local wildlife and his ability to point out even the most subtle details of the breathtaking surroundings made the journey incredibly enriching. He ensured we didn’t miss any hidden gems and always made us feel safe and comfortable.
The lodges we stayed at were so great, providing a perfect blend of luxury and immersion in nature.
A special mention goes to the lodge in Serengeti National Park, it was simply outstanding. Falling asleep to the sounds of the wild and waking up to views of the endless savannah was an unforgettable experience.
On the first day, we were warmly welcomed by Emanuel, the owner of African Big Cats, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. His cordial and attentive approach, along with the detailed explanation of our itinerary, set the tone for a flawless adventure.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend African Big Cats enough. The combination of stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife sightings, and impeccable service made this a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Thank you, Emanuel, Martini, and the entire team, for making our dream safari come true!

Experience of a Lifetime
From start to finish, our experience with booking through Gems of Africa was easy and pleasant, and the safari itself at Mount Eco was breathtaking.
First, booking was made easy by the quick communication and ready responses to all our pre-booking questions. I had put out questions to three different operators, but Gems of Africa was the most responsive and offered a good range of options. Janien made the booking and payment process easy. Transfers to and from the hotel were arranged - with a very pleasant and cheerful driver - and we were offered free vouchers for the Hop on/off bus in Cape Town. Our driver also handed us a little boss of chocolates from the company with 2 cute beaded keychains. Mount Eco was one of the more expensive options, but it was worth every penny spent! There are 7 lodge cabins so a maximum of 14 guests at any time, so the service is personal. The cabins were magnificent, with many handcarved elements, peaked roofs and I can't to justice to the bathroom in words. All cabins were private so you couldn't see each other, and all had little paths leading to a main path the guided you to the magnificent main lodge. All meals were included and were delicious, and the staff were all so lovely and helpful. There were 2 drives per day and the option for a bushwalk. Our driver Charles was so knowledgeable and relaxed. The drives themselves were over rough terrain but made as luxurious as possible with blankets, hot water bottles, and lined ponchos in case of rain! We also stopped for coffee and muffins on morning drives and drinks and snacks on evening drives. And the animals: giraffes, elephants, lions, rhinos, water Buffalo, springboks, eland, and other antelope species. All in a huge conservation area that was beautiful in its own right. This lodge is off the grid, operating entirely on solar power, and some of the higher costs go towards the conservation efforts. I can't say enough good things about our experience. You must go, if you are thinking about it at all; you will not regret it.

More than excellent gamedrive guide who gave us the time of our life!
My wife and I spent a couple of days in Masai Mara to do three days of gamedrive in this wonderfull park. We booked via Free Africa Tours & Safaries Ltd. Included was a really lovely hotel (inside the park) named the Sarova Mara Game Camp. The communication with the company went very professional, all of our questions were answered very quickly. Our guide for the gamedrives was Mr. Silas Anemba. He is an extremely experienced guide who knows everything about the flora and fauna in the park. His presence and attitude are discreet. His enthusiasm for his beatifull country was touching. On top of that he is a very safe driver who takes no risks and makes you feel comfortable (standing) in the jeep. He continuously is looking for animals. We got wild seeing the big five but also enjoyed standing with the jeep for some minutes in the middle of a herd of antilopes. And ofcourse the jeep was always parked in the best position for taking a picture.
We thank Free Africa Tours & Safaries Ltd and especially Mr. Silas Anemba for giving us the time of our life.

This was my second time choosing WECAM
I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Wecam Safaris ! This was my second time choosing them, and they did not disappoint. From start to finish, the arrangements were seamless and professionally handled.
Their on-time pick-up and drop-off service ensured an stress-free journey, and the hotels they selected were clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. It was clear that Wecam/Mercy pays great attention to detail in ensuring everything runs smoothly. They consistently checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable and on schedule, which added a personal touch to their exceptional service.
This time, I confidently brought my entire family, including my two children and my elderly mother, and the trip exceeded all expectations. Every moment was well-planned, and we felt safe and cared for throughout. Thanks to Mercy and the whole Wecam safari team, we made beautiful memories that we will cherish forever.
I highly recommend Wecam to anyone looking for a hassle-free and well-organized safari experience.
