AMAZING
Karibu provided a thrilling safari experience with an energetic and kind tour guide and driver (all in one person!). T
However there is only one note : during our sixth day to Amboseli, we arrived late and supposedly to stay in one camp, in Nyati camp. However , it was full and we had to be escorted to 30 minutes drive place , a building where we stay with societies living nearby. It was dissapointing because we did not know about the full capacity of the camp and no communication made byKaribu to escort us to different place.
Another one is the lunch place during the third and fourth day in Naivasha and Nakuru. We went there for three times and the menu were all the same. It could be changed to other menu supposedly.
But overall, other than that, everything is excellent.

An awesome, authentic Kenyan experience. Cant wait to visit with Jemu again.
Jemu Expeditions were so great in helping us plan our trip. While it was short, they made sure we maximised the days we had. They were also flexible with pick-up and drop-off locations which made for a seamless experience. Our guide, George, was so friendly and attentive, his knowledge of East African animals is endless - we learnt so much!

Good agent that sorts things
Blierange organised a very good plan for me in August and if something did not go according to plan they sorted it. The employee Susan is outstanding. She is very hard working and she ensures the client is ok at all times. She is a super star and essential in Bluerange. Asante sana 🙏

Once in a lifetime experience
We recently went on a 10-day tour of Tanzania and Zanzibar with Professional Safari Africa, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hotels in Zanzibar were absolutely stunning, with friendly staff and amazing food. Cholo did a fantastic job organizing all our tours, and we felt well taken care of, never having to worry about transfers.
The safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Although Jonas had to leave after the first day due to an emergency, Joseph stepped in and took us on some incredible game drives. The hotel was comfortable with a nice pool, but the food could have been better, as it was buffet-style and wasn’t as fresh as I would have liked.
We did encounter some issues when trying to pay for the trip, which was a bit stressful, but overall, we had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Professional Safari Africa for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Tanzania and Zanzibar.

Well informed, very personable, easy to get along with
Stanford was my guide and I was very happy with him, and spending time with him.
Bayete Lodge was nice for the first night, as was the river cruise, but the Boma dinner was not a highlight for me. Very touristy, food was poor. I had upset stomach for next 3 days. It would have been enough to just do the cruise and eat dinner back at Bayete.
Hwange.
I have some questions/issues with how this was planned.
1. Why did we drive a sedan from Vic Falls to the hotel for 2 1/2 hours over some atrocious roads? Why not a 4x4? Safety was definitely a concern.
2. Why did Stanford drive me to Hwange lodge but then not be my driver/guide? He basically stayed there for 5 nights while I went on game drives and relaxed by the hotel. We saw each other sporadically but only because I think he felt like he needed to check in on me.
3. Why did you not put me on a transport bus instead? Did I pay for Stanford's food and lodging for those 5 days?
4. I very much liked the Hwange Lodge hotel but it's 30 minutes outside the main gate of Hwange, gates only open at 6am and close by pm.
5. Bheki - the guide/driver working for Hwange Lodge was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable and funny.

Fantastic value for money
The tour was everything and more than I expected. Kennedy answered all my pre trip questions promptly. On one morning, however, I was left not knowing what time was pick up and felt I could have had a lie in! All in all great value for money and I would go again in a heartbeat

The tours is well organised, the guide super, but picking up others took to long.
super, but picking up other guest took to long. We were told that the group usually consists 6/7 persons, we were with 9. Not a problem, but it was a bit annoying to see cars from the same company driving with only 3 passengers that day. The biggest downside was the driving time to the park. Where it was communicated that it would take about an hour, it took us well over 2 hours. This was due to the fact we had to pick up guests who stayed at a place 40 min from the route to the park.
Despite the foregoing and the bad weather the day we went, it was a cool experience. Our guide, Eddy the happy chappy, was extremely positive and did a very good job. The poncho’s provided were very nice and welcome. We saw more animals than expected and that was the goal after all.

Well informed guide in a good mood!
The panoramic tour was well organized. The views of the canyon were breathtaking. Our guide led us to the viewpoints. We enjoyed it.
The whole tour was great!

Helpful, responsive and prompt.
I just got back from Tanzania on a trip with Jokun Tours and Travel, and honestly, it was amazing. From the moment we booked, the customer service was on point. The staff was super friendly, knew their stuff, and always ready to help out with any questions.
The itinerary was spot on — we hit all the must-see spots but still had plenty of time to chill. Our guide was awesome, too, really knowledgeable and made sure everyone in the group felt involved and had a great time. Highly recommend!

If you aren't trying to customize, book MoAfrica. They will take care of everything almost perfectly
The actual tour guides were great (Senior Lambs and Life (maybe Lyfe)). They're professional and knowledgable about the animals and parks/routes.
Our only gripe was the booking process. Sure they made it easy to book, but customizing the trip was a bit difficult and not as clear as they could've made it. Communication around pricing of add-ons wasn't transparent. Actually, we had about 2-3 different, unrelated issues with communication (not just us, there was even another couple who was told a completely different pick up spot and thus we started our day half an hour later). Another example was that we were looking at booking a private vehicle. Things should be itemized (as in: 700 pp if shuttle, one way, 1500 pp if private, one way.) You shouldn't be advertising the price as 800 pp private one way and adding it to the price of the standard, especially since the standard 700 can be subtracted if we drive ourselves. It's misleading and confusing.
So... if you plan on taking the exact tour as is, it's a fine operator to choose. They're mostly reliable. If you're going to try to customize, I'd pay more and go to a slightly more luxury safari tour guide instead.
