Dream came true
I was always dreaming to do a safari in Tanzania at the Serengeti Nationalpark. I heard the first time from Hekima from a traveller, whom i met in Cape town in November 2018, at the beginning from my Africa trip. He recommended this safari company and so I got in touch with them. When i arrived in Arusha they organized everything for me and welcomed me like a family member. The guest house is very cute, the crew very lovely, helpful and hospitable. The food at the guest house was always very delicious. And then the safari: it was mind blowing. We saw big 5 within 24 hours. Our driver was like an eagle and knew everything about the animals habitats. I had the best food in Tanzania while our safari. The tents were very big and the mattresses very comfy. All parks are unique and completely different. We had the best crew and group. I still cannot believe that my dream came true. Thanks a lot to Hekima team! You made it and helped me so much. Furthermore you help me to realize another big dream: Volunteering in Africa. No words can describe how lucky I am to have done these experiences with you. I had so many best moments with you. My heart is always with you and hopefully we will see us in 2020.

Full Day Pilanesberg Tour + Cradle of Civilization
I only had two days to squeeze in sight-seeing during a work trip to Johannesburg. Glad I went with MoAfrika, as their online helpsite was fast and effective and helped me choose the best options for my limited time. They picked me up at my slightly out of the way AirBnB and, after the 2-hour drive to the park, we had a fantastic safari. Our driver was friendly and informative as was our safari guide. I did the Cradle of Civilization tour the next days, which was just the right length to get me back and catch my flight that evening. Great local knowledge and punctual drivers/guides. Pro-tip: sit up near the front, ask lots of questions, and tip them well!

absolutely fantastic, would 100% do again
I had a fantastic time on the Kenya Day tours & trips, it was so good indeed that I booked to go again the following weekend with my girlfriend. The service and communication was excellent before the trip ensuring that the pick up time and location was correct. The Safari itself was wonderful, our tour guide (Ben) was very knowledgeable and we saw lots of wildlife, including, Lion(s), giant Eland, black Rhino and alot more.

everything was amazing
Our guide, Oswald helped us a lot during our safari tour. It was amazing because we could see all of BIG 5 animals. Our stay at safari with him was great experience.Everything of his action is beyond our imagination and expect. Thanks again!

Very bad & disappointing!!
we were planning a trip to Botswana/ Namibia / Zimbabwe but we couldn't make it & actually we were sent back from the airport because the agency lied to us and didn't provide the needed documents.. so the vacation was ruined, embarrassment at the airport minding that myself & my friend we are regular travelers (weekly basis almost). they ripped us off & no one is answering our mails & requests to get refunds!!!
It’s been almost 6 months & still nothing...
We’ve trusted that they will handle our visa , at least that's what the agent said
:For my friend it was extrmely confusing for them to give an answer about her documents and then they’ve assured that she would get the visa on arrival... this never happened because we were not even allowed to leave the airport
:For myself they’ve started the visa applications. (again what they said!!)
:We’ve purchased the flight tickets after their confirmation on my visa delivery on Nov 27th Tue, which they’ve said they would send the file either on the same day eve or the next day morning.
: They’ve never sent the visa!!!! We’ve received an image of a so called ‘visa’ only 12 hrs before our flight. And at the airport we were told that it was not a visa but a ‘Acknowledgment of Receipt’. It turned out we were fooled and ripped off by Enrico’s Safaris. And still no refund even after 6 months & no one is replying !!!
They’ve ruined our holiday plans and we’ve missed an opportunity. On top my friend received an email from them saying: ‘If you guys could have emphasized strictly that you are not allowed without a Visa I would have done my utmost best to make sure, that's the level of support you get from this agency!!
Of course we’ve asked for refund of our down payment & flight ticket costs. They’ve said they can only return the down payment and instead of the flight ticket they’ve offered free of charge tour in March 2019, which we’ve declined and asked for a refund. Since then no refund, no answer to our emails and phones.
again I am a regular traveler & this never happened to me but I guess there is always a first time when we have such incompetent agencies. please check before picking them for your vacations because they are such a big disappointment , waste of money & time...

omo valley & danakil
We were small group, all experienced travelers. We visited OMO valley tribes and afterwards DANAKIL. All perfectly organized, great guides, good lodges/hotels, nice food. I recommend this agency for African safaris.

A trip of a life time with Kenan Tours
I have been on over 10 safaris in many different countries in Africa, and our recent safari with Kenan Tours was by far the most magnificent one yet!! Jane is an outstanding communicator, and she was brilliant in helping us organize a trip that met the unique needs and interests of our big group of 10 family members. Jane was incredibly responsive and responsible and always a true joy to work with! And once we arrived in Kenya the real adventure began...our drivers and guides, Simon and Geoff, were wonderful, witty, and wise, and gave us an extraordinary game viewing experience! They were amazing with our children, always flexible and accommodating, and taught us so many fascinating facts about the animals. The lodges that we stayed in were gorgeous and such a good deal for the price. And the food and service we enjoyed through the trip were fantastic. Kenan Tours is an excellent company and they gave us the safari of a life time! Thank you Jane, Simone, and Geoff!!

Phillip Briggs Augrabies web page...location on map is incorrect...indicating Kruger NP
Safari Bookings web page...Phillip Briggs...location of Augrabies incorrect on map.
Augrabies NP is awesome and everyone should visit for the landscape and flora and fauna...wonderful to be able to explore on foot.
Outside area of restaurant needs up grading...cigarette butts in pots looks terrible...chairs and tables shabby.
