They are there before, during and after your trip
Our self-drive through Namibia and Botswana was a great experience. We enjoyed the professional communication of Charlie's Travel before, during and after our trip. They're instant and digital, and we like that! They clearly are an experienced travel agent and they know their markets. Be specific about what you want, or don't want and they'll try to arrange it as good as possible.

We reached the summit Mt Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Planet adventures
They were well prepared and accommodating. They picked us up from the airport, reviewed our supplies and arranged for rentals of items needed. We finished a day earlier than expected and they had already found additional lodging for us by the time we reached town. Couldn’t have been happier with their service and expertise.

Experience was worth more than each and every coin....
African Breeze Tours are very efficient. The logistical organization, choice of hotel, selection of tour sites was unlevelled : I have never enjoyed my vacation in the North Coast of Kenya (Malindi and Watamu) as I did. Looking forward to the next vacation with them!

Great Kilimanjaro climbing experience thanks to my guide Shaban and Dismas who organized it all.

Once in a lifetime experience to see such magnificent creatures in their natural habitats
Myself and my fiancée did the 5 day safari experience featuring Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara.
Elias picked us up from the bus stop and brought us to a local market and helped us to pick up some clothes atva good price as Turkish Airlines had misplaced our luggage, then brought us to the office where we chatted about our upcoming safari with Nassir. Both Elias and Nassir were incredibly friendly and accommodating and made us feel very well looked after.
We were picked up by our driver, Lewis, the next day and thus began our 5 day safari adventure. We saw lions, antelope, elephants, baboons, many tropical birds, giraffes, warthogs and zebras as well as part of a shy leopard on our first day in Tarangire alone. Lewis was very informative and attentive and made a wonderful driver and guide.
The glampsite we stayed at during our first night was spectacular and an ensuite bathroom with hot water was much appreciated. Our cook Hilda was hilarious, introducing herself as our Mama for the next five days, and her meals were delicious.
Our first day in the Serengeti was incredible we saw all of the aforementioned animals as well as hippos, various new types of gazelle, hyenas, wildebeest, vultures and ostriches. The highlight of the day was a leopard who was clearly visible in a tree and had dragged a gazelle he had killed up with him.
Camping in the Serengeti was a surreal experience. We slept in a campsite that was right in the middle of the Serengeti, mere meters away from baboons and hyenas that we watched loping around the edge of the campsite.
Our second day in the Serengeti was just as magical. The highlights were watching vast herds of zebra and wildebeest galloping along and observing the most adorable pride of lions nuzzling each other about a foot away from the truck. The most exciting event was when we came across a cheetah who was stalking some oblivious gazelle. It was a very intense few minutes but eventually the gazelle spotted it and it conceded defeat.
Camping on the edge of Ngorongoro crater afforded a breathtaking view and lots of very close encounters. We watched a couple storks stalking through the campsite as well as zebra and buffalo grazing, in fact that night we heard sounds coming from outside the tent and opened up to find ourselves face to face with a buffalo grazing not 6 inches from the tent's flap.
Ngorongoro itself was ineffably beautiful. The descent was steep and afforded all kinds of wonderful views including aerial perspectives on vast herds. We saw huge herds of buffalo up close, hyenas making off with a hunk of meat, the most adorable lion cubs panting in the sun, as their mothers and older siblings lazed in the shade, a couple cute civet cats and the Monte Cristo, not one but two rhinos. To slightly temper the awesomeness of such sightings, both rhinos were asleep and quite far away but I still feel blessed to have seen what was according to Lewis 10% of the rhinos in Ngorongoro.
Our final night of the safari was spent once again in the glampsite and was just as comfortable the second time round.
Our last day in Manyara was good but it didn't hold a candle to the previous 4 days. We saw lots of baboons, zebra, elephants, buffalo, some giraffes, antelope and various types of exotic birds including massive flocks of flamingos that were unfortunately too far away to be seen by the naked eye so we took turns gazing at them through the binoculars.
We were incredibly satisfied with our safari experience. The one thing I should mention is that Moorland and Suricata safaris are partners and that depending on availability you could end up going with either company. Nassir did not have a group booked for our specific dates so he put us in with a Suricata group. In the end based on the experience we had and Nassir's kind demeanor and eagerness to assist in any way possible I would not hesitate to recommend Moorland safaris to anyone who would like to get up close and personal with all kinds of exotic animals.
Tl;dr Had an amazing safari experience, saw every possible animal, great lodgings and impeccable customer service

Best experience ever!
From the beginning, I noticed that communication with Mohamed was very easy and he made everything was possible to fulfill our requests and adapted the tour to meet our needs. That was the reason I decided for Travel Africa. The safari was amazing. Our guide Lucas was a very friendly guy and the group got along very well. We saw all the big five in the first 3 days! So lucky! I think what makes Travel Africa unique is the personal treatment they work with. Mohamed was not a tour operator, he was more of a host who made us feel at home. He even helped us with a stressful situation we passed through with our flight to Tanzania. I strongly recommend Travel Africa when thinking of going to a safari there. We also spent 2 days in Arusha and the agency arranged interesting tours for us, one in the city and another one to Materuni Falls (where we had a remarkable experience with Chagga people) and Hot Springs. All the guides were very friendly and helpful. Great experience we will never forget!

Best safari trip I ever experienced with “Gemuka Adventures”
I had been many places and took many safari services. But this company is one of the good service providers I experienced in my life. Everything was good with this company. From Airport transport to living as well as safari service.
