This is a Dream Company
We are a family of 5, including our 8-year-old granddaughter. We asked Nelly to prepare a tailor-made, affordable itinerary for our 9-day trip to South Africa. Her proposal was excellent. Just a few minor changes and then deal.
We visited Cape Town and its surroundings, like visiting Table Mountain, wine tasting. We made the Garden Route, visited the Cape of Good Hope and the National Parks like Truitjieskraal, Tsitsikamma.
Activities:
Seal cruise, Penguin kayaking, Shark Cage Diving, Whale watching, Hiking, Skywalk, Bungee Jumping, Rock climbing, Safari Game Drive.
Nothing went wrong. Hotels were excellent, Vans were tidy. Guides and Drivers were helpful and very friendly.
Especially our guide, Faldie Vanwyk, became like a family member.
We had a great time in South Africa.
Thank You, Nelly. Thank You, Faldie, Thank You Africa Incoming.

Excellent experience with George
George gave us the safari of a lifetime! We saw the Big Five, the wildebeest river crossing, and so many other amazing moments. Truly unforgettable.

Highly Recommended!
Our 5-day safari was perfectly organized, from the lodges we stayed in to the daily game drives. Each day brought new highlights, from lions gathering to elephants at the waterhole. George made sure we were comfortable at all times and truly went the extra mile for us. This was the best adventure we could have imagined.

Amazing 3 day Safari. Incredible guide and accommodation. Galilaya team managed everything perfectly
We booked a 3 day Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater safari as part of our honeymoon. Galilaya booked all our internal flights, transfers and accommodation. The team were incredibly friendly and attentive and the whole trip ran perfectly.
Our guide Francis was superb. He was warm, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. He managed the 3 days extremely well, helping us see 4 of the big 5 and countless other amazing animals.
The accommodation provided was extremely comfortable. The Lions Paw Lodge especially, in Ngorongoro Crater was truly special. The Galilaya team even presented us with a touching gift for our honeymoon.
This trip was truly once in a lifetime. The Galilaya team went above and beyond and we will be recommending them to our family and friends.

Adventure Time
Oscar from Kale Voyage Expedition was my tour operator and Moses was my safari guide. Oscar was very helpful, responding to my questions before I booked the tour and later with tips for packing and planning. He was also available during the tour in case I needed anything or had questions.
My safari guide Moses was very knowledgeable, relaxed, and friendly. We were eight strangers in the Jeep and we all had such a good time together. Moses drove to far off places, asked for sighting tips from other guides, and informed us about the majestic animals we were seeing.
The food and accommodation was good (though I realise I am not made for camping and it was a tough experience :’( ).
Not related to Kale in particular but travellers should do thorough research on what does a safari entail and ask questions if something is unclear - accommodation, tipping culture etc. Due to time crunch, I couldn’t do much research and had some surprises; though nothing bad. My fellow travelers and guide helped me along.

Incredible experience.
A great experience from the very first contact with Golden Trips Tanzania.
Special thanks to Irene, who always responded to our messages quickly and provided the best solutions to our questions.
She instilled a lot of confidence in us, and we felt safe.
We finalized everything two days before the safari began; Irene was incredible.
We stayed in excellent accommodations throughout the safari.
A special thanks to the camp we stayed at in the Serengeti.
Everything was incredible.
Golden Trips Tanzania took fantastic care of everything.

Ikaze Rwanda Tour and Travel offered a wonderful immersive experience.
When I arrived in Kigali I was greeted by Yves, the fantastic owner/founder of Ikaze Rwanda Tour who put me in the professional hands of a great guide to tour the city. I had a wonderful experience visiting the most dramatic city sites as well as corners of the city that most tourists probably don't see, really learning and absorbing a lot more than what you see on the surface. I highly recommend Yves and his team to anyone who wants to live a memorable experience.

Amazing Adventure!
We went on a 10-day trip to Uganda at the end of July, and it’s hard to put into words what we experienced. It was a truly special journey that touched our hearts, and we will remember it forever.
Uganda is still a hidden gem, not yet crowded with tourists, and that made us appreciate its beauty even more. The country felt very safe, and the local people welcomed us with kindness and genuine curiosity.
Nature was absolutely stunning — from lush forests and endless landscapes to beautiful hills, mountains, golden sunsets, and amazing wildlife. Trekking to see gorillas and chimpanzees was something magical — almost unreal. Looking into their eyes, so similar to ours, deep in the jungle, was an unforgettable moment. It’s something you can’t fully describe — you just have to experience it.
We were lucky to be guided by Kasule and Salvan, two wonderful guides. They were always patient, friendly, and ready to help with anything we needed. Their love for their country and their deep knowledge of the land and animals made the trip even more special.
A big thank you also to Destination Jungle for organizing everything so well and making this trip feel real, exciting, and full of meaning. It wasn’t just a vacation — it was a true adventure and a journey we’ll never forget.

Highly cost-effective! Safe!
Whistling really met my needs in terms of safety and value. First, the price was very reasonable. Other travel agencies charge much more for the same hotel and itinerary. Second, our tour guide, Michael, was truly outstanding. He's a very nice person and was very responsible when taking us to see the animals. This is not easy to do. I will definitely choose Whistling next time.

Incredible 10-day safari across Kenya –- highly recommended!
We just returned from an unforgettable 10-day safari adventure in Kenya covering Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Samburu National Reserve, and Meru National Park. It was a dream trip from start to finish!
Our group of 14 was looked after by 3 amazing guides, with Samy leading the way. Samy did a fantastic job balancing exciting game drives with enough time to relax and enjoy the beautiful lodges and hotels we stayed in. You could tell the 3 of them were extremely experienced and passionate about what they do - they really cared about making sure we had the best possible experience.
The guides were very accommodating and went above and beyond to help us spot all the wildlife we had hoped to see. Their knowledge of the animals and parks made every drive both exciting and educational.
Overall, this was such a well organised and memorable trip. If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, I can’t recommend this team enough – 100% worth it!
