Excellent and meticulous. Wonderful lodges(the best!)
We stayed at the River Lodge in Botswana, which was quiet and rustic. The entire Chobe experience was amazing! Within the first 3 hrs, we saw lions feeding off a fresh kill elephant, leopards, giraffea, watee buffalo and much more! The river experience was amazing for hippos and crocs everywhere.
Back in Zimbabwe, I cannot say enough great rhings about the Nkosi lodge. Their mosquito nets were impeccable and they provide lotion. Although, I hardly saw a single mosquito there in 4 days. The Victoria Falls was beautiful and sublime. The tour guide took a long time for the preamble. I would recommend bringing ponchos and raincoats and NOT keeping out expensive electronic cameras for the second half of the walk on Victoria Falls.
I wasn't really that interested in the Boma or the bonfire dinner. i did LOVE the lookout cafe (do not miss).
Overall, Pam and the two guides Kudzi and Stanford were awesome!

The perfect Kenyan safari experience!
When I landed in Kenya, if anyone asked me where I would go for my next African safari I would have said Tanzania or Botswana. But now I want to go back to Kenya just so I can see more of Kenya with Savannah Sound Safaris and here's why.
A safari in Kenya was a dream trip for me for a long time and I could not have chosen a better tour operator for that trip than Savannah Sound Safaris. From the very first day I contacted them to start planning the trip to the moment they dropped us off at the airport at the end of the trip, they were very professional and reliable. Ours was a group of 17 and Danson, who managed the entire booking and planning process, made it so easy for us to plan the trip for such a large group. The level of customization they offered to our itinerary was the biggest positive during the planning process.
The tour itself was simply amazing. The 3 driver-guides Nick, Duncan and Samuel, made sure we had prime seats to breathtaking encounters with wild animals. What stood out for me was they provided that prime experience to us while respecting the wildlife and their natural habitat.
Did we get value for the money we paid? Absolutely! But is that all we got? Absolutely no! We got an experience and memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Very nice always making sure the passengers are having a great time
Very accommodating what an amazing experience the drivers are super amazing
The operator was intelligent, thoughtful, and very friendly.
The tour was worth every penny (or shilling). The operator was an expert in knowing and explaining information about the animals, very hospitable, and thoughtful about warning when we passed bumpy roads. I saw so many amazing animals and was very impressed by the quality of the safari.

Incredibly amazing....
We spent a few days touring around Addis Ababa with Nature Ethiopian Tours and had a fantastic experience. We enjoyed every moment of the trip and appreciated the excellent service. We would highly recommend Nature Ethiopian Tours to anyone visiting Ethiopia. The beautiful nature, culture, and hospitality made our trip unforgettable.

Best local tour operators and the best travel
Dendea's arrangements were incredibly thorough, offering the best value for money among all the local tour operators.
Before the trip, Dendea paid close attention to our needs, patiently answering our questions for three months.
During the trip, we saw many animals and witnessed spectacular sights. For example, we saw numerous prides of lions, elephants, zebras, and wildebeest, as well as newborn elephant calves, buffalo, and many other baby animals. Dendea's eyesight was superb; he could spot animals from a great distance and learn about their habits. In addition, we saw rare animals such as blue sheep, rock hares, and caracals.
Furthermore, Dendea's service was excellent. They resolved various issues for us during the trip, and the vehicle was well-equipped, with mobile Wi-Fi, fly swatters, and a refrigerator.
The meals and accommodations were also very satisfactory. We had lunchboxes and hot meals to choose from. Our accommodations were excellent; we could live next to animals, with hippos and rabbits grazing at night, and we could even hear lions roaring nearby – we truly made the most of our budget.
In conclusion, I was very fortunate to meet Dendea, whose perfect arrangements gave us an unparalleled life experience!

A perfect safari experience—absolutely stunning and awe-inspiring.
Our tour operator was exceptional. Our guide, Joshua, was incredibly dedicated and professional—he helped us spot the Big Five along with numerous rare species. Meanwhile, our customer service rep, Jeremiah, was meticulous and attentive, resolving every query perfectly.

fantastic! perfect tour！
At first, I was planning to join a 4-day, 3-night camping tour, but I changed it to a 4-day, 3-night mid-range lodge tour. I’m really glad I chose the mid-range tour.
The lodges were very clean and beautiful, and our tour guide was a highly experienced veteran. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy an amazing four-day tour.
Of course, we were able to see the Big Five, and we saw each of them from an incredibly close distance. I also managed to take some really great photos.
Our guide was kind, explained the animals in great detail, and made the whole experience even better. This is definitely a tour I would recommend to my friends and family.
