Good and reliable service!
Our safari with Cuckoo was overall excellent, though there were a few exceptions. Everything was exactly as described. Upon our arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, Simon was there to greet us with a sign bearing my name for easy identification. He then escorted us to our lodge, allowing us some time to check in and refresh ourselves. Afterward, Simon took us on a tour of Victoria National Park, providing informative explanations about the falls.
However, it was disappointing that Simon didn't suggest a visit to the Zambia side of the falls, even though we mentioned having obtained the Kaza visa for multiple entries. Another drawback was the extensive travel the next day, requiring a 6-hour round trip to Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe from our lodge. The safari experience itself was good, but the long drive in a small car was uncomfortable. We had hoped for a more suitable vehicle like a van or 4x4.
The highlight of our journey with Cuckoo was undoubtedly our visit to Chobe National Park in Botswana. It was conveniently closer to our lodge, approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes away, and we traveled in a spacious van. The adventure, which encompassed both land and water components, was exceptional.
In conclusion, we were generally satisfied with our safari experience, but the extended journeys in small cars and the missed opportunity to view Victoria Falls from the Zambia side were minor drawbacks.

Excellent Safari with MoAfrika Tours
Our safari experience with MoAfrika was truly excellent. It was a fantastic journey from the moment we were picked up at the O.R. Tambo bus station to the very end. We had a great deal of fun throughout the trip.
On the second day of our safari, we did wish that the 4x4 jeep driver had advised us to return to our rooms and change into long pants and long-sleeve shirts. The day turned out to be extremely windy and cold, and such a suggestion would have been greatly appreciated. I genuinely thought I might develop hypothermia; it was that cold. Although we were provided with ponchos, they weren't quite enough to keep us warm.
Aside from that, the lodge, the service, and the staff were all excellent. And I must mention that the food at Kruger Adventure Lodge was exceptional.

Nice and flexible tour
It was really easy to communicate with Brian. He was really helpful and flexible. Also game drives were nice and our safari guide/driver made his best to help us to spot many animals.
Vegetarian food wasn’t that good. Just some mayo sandwiches. Maybe for the next vegetarian customers they could offer more options.

Good, serious company, we had no problem and had a lovely time traveling with them.
"Our trip through Uganda with Yaneta Safaris was filled with exciting experiences. Communication with the agency was smooth via WhatsApp and they generally did their best to accommodate our needs and fulfill our prior arrangements. There was a bit of rush right before the trip, but everything turned out fine. We were especially impressed with our guide/driver, Erik. He was a great conversationalist, knowledgeable, and always ensured we felt comfortable. He truly cared about our accommodations, food, and overall well-being. Thanks to him, our trip was outstanding. Overall, choosing Yaneta Safaris was a great decision and we will definitely hire them again for our next African adventure."

Trustfully.
I had a lifetime experience doing this 4 days safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, you are guaranteed to see so many animals in theirs natural habitat, depending on the right season, the landscapes and the wildlife are breathtaking, staying at nice lodges. Staying inside the Serengeti National park is quite extreme, you will be surrounded by wild animals just outside the lodge, hearing lions, hyenas and hippos walking around in the evening and night but you will be taken care of.
I will absolutely recommend this tour to whom are looking for amazing adventures, but be aware not taking big baggage with you.

The perfect guide but might not to be the perfect company
We booked a 4 days (with game drives in all of them) and 3 nights safari going to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. When we got to the office on the first day to pay, the company said that there was a “small” change in our itinerary that would make our 3rd day a day without doing game drive (80$ p person entrance fee to the park) and in exchange they would take us to the Masai Vilage (20$ fee supposed to be optional in our 2nd day). Part of the group had other programs booked so thanks to the our driver we got to experience a boat ride in a lake (we would have to pay extra 20$ p person) to compensate us.
To sum up, it was an amazing experience, with good food and that we would love to repeat, especially with Joseph, who made our safari amazing.
To the company the only thing I wish they did better: it was not let you book a program that they can not provide…

Amazing wildlife
We were a group of 5 colleagues who had some spare time at the end of our trip and decided we wanted to do a safari in the Masai Mara. I found Hyrax safaris and they were extremely responsive over what’s app which was really handy due to the time difference. Hyrax were good at sorting out our different room configurations and found us great quality accomodation at Sarova Mara. I would recommend the hotel, we had a room looking out over the reserve. We opted to be driven to the Mara (about 6 hours), I’m glad we did because we saw so much on the journey and there were plenty of stops to stretch your legs. Our guide Aaron was excellent, really knowledgeable and was also flexible about what times we did our drives. I enjoyed doing a full days drive as we saw so much but some of my colleagues found a whole day game drive a bit too much. I’m sure you’d be able to split it into two of you wanted. I would recommend using Hyrax safaris for your safari booking.
