ALWAYS my #1 choice!!
The last 3 safaris I have been on were operated by iTravel. The NEXT 3 safaris I go on will also be operated by iTravel. Once I met Freddy and booked through iTravel, I knew I would never have to change operators again. Freddy and iTravel are consistently reliable, always friendly and accommodating, and never disappoint. iTravel is outstanding at connecting with the travelers and sharing brilliant knowledge of wildlife and culture. It doesn't matter if you want a simple 1-2 day safari in a lodge or if you prefer a 10 day camping safari in the wilderness--they do it all! I would highly recommend booking with iTravel, if you want more than a typical safari experience.
Holiday of a lifetime
I came across Encompass Africa after becoming so disillusioned and frustrated at not being able to find the African holiday of our dreams. I’d visited our local travel agent and returned home with an armful of brochures, none of which offered the combination of destinations for the length of time we wanted. I decided to go online and do my own research. After days of googling and researching I was totally disheartened. Why was this so difficult? Luckily I eventually came across Encompass Africa. I felt reassured knowing that this African based company had an office in Brisbane. I emailed and soon was discussing my ideas with Stephanie. It was so effortless. Before I knew it Stephanie, with a few fabulous suggestions, had devised an itinerary that was exactly what we wanted.
That was all months ago and my husband and I have just returned from our African adventure which included the gorillas in Uganda, safaris in Tanzania, the wilderbeast migration in the Serengeti, Zanzibar and Cape Town. I can’t describe how amazing this holiday was. It was better than we could have ever imagined. From the moment we left Sydney, every detail ran like clock work. Stephanie had chosen the perfect style of accommodation to give us that element of luxury our age needed without being over the top.
Our experience has left no doubt in our minds that we were fortunate to have stumbled upon such a specialist in African safaris. Without the expertise, knowledge and dedication of Stephanie we would never have had the amazing holiday we have had!

Splendor Holidays Kenya is very friendly , helpful , accommodative and customer friendly.
Ms. Lucy of Splendor Holidays was the in- charge of our 10 days Safari Tour of Masaimara and Serengeti. She has a pleasant personality and is very good in communication.We were cheated by another tour operator Mr. Otieno who landed us in soup after taking 25% advance and then vanishing from the scene just a few days before our tour was supposed to begin . We contacted Ms. Lucy only about ten days before our tour . However , within this short time she organised the full tour covering all points we were supposed to visit as per our original plan ( drawn up by Otieno ). Even in this peak tourist season , she tried to take care of the full Safari programme meticulously and we enjoyed an excellent trip. However , we could not get good lodges at all the places , probably because of our late bookings and huge seasonal rush ( though Otieno took advance from us in February ,2019 , he did not do any booking ). Particularly in Kenya , many places we stayed at were not upto the mark. Lodges in Tanzania were all quite good. Nevertheless , the whole tour was very good and Ms. Lucy accompanied us herself throughout Kenya to personally see to it that we do not face any inconvenience. Ms. Lucy has done a great job as far as our trip was concerned.

Excellent experience with Mamasavana who has been able to satisfy the safari
Excellent accommodations, experienced drivers, 2 comfortable jeeps only for our group of 9 people and above all a lot of attention to our needs.
We have done the safari in Tanzania and extension to Zanzibar. I recommend Mamasavana!

Excellent professionalism and outstanding interpersonal skills
We used Kilele Afrika for a safari after climbing Kilimanjaro. It was the best way to relax and have an enjoyable time for our last few days in Tanzania! We did the 3 day safari, travelling to 3 different National Parks which was great to see different areas of the country. The guides were the best, letting us know all the facts about the area and wildlife while the company as a whole were really useful in catering to our own personal needs. Would highly recommend Kilele!

Great experience
We did a 9 days safari with them and we would like to recommend Ilmaasai Expedition. We were traveling with our kids and specially with our daughter (10 years old) who is celiac. Our guide Bryson had a lot of experience and is a really professional guide and give us good advises and information during all the safari and also later. Osman was the cook who was taking care about the special diet od our daughter. The staff in Arusha, Catherine and his father Loth were always willing to help us. Really good experience with them. Asante sana.

An amazing experience with Zohar African Safaris that we will remember our entire life !
My Girlfriend and I booked our Safaris with Zohar African Safaris 2 months before our trip Summer 2019.
I e-met Lilian and Jackline by email with Safari booking, who have been so nice and very much available for any question / requests we had.
We felt immediately confident and reassured about the profesionalism of Zohar African Safari.
Taylor Made is really what charachterises Zohar African Safaris.
To sum up : profesionnal, friendly, well equiped (modern vehicle with fridge, binoculars, comfort) great advices, adventure, cosy, top food, TaylorMade).
Jackline organized for us exactly what we wanted, giving us a lot of detais and advices in advance to answer our questions. We did a 3 days safaris (Tarrangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater) - with 2 nigtht in 2 amazing and charming lodges (quality, comfort, private ensuites) near the parks.
We also had our own safari guide for ourself - David, who has more than 15 years of experience, and who has been an absolute star during these 3 days. Available for all explanations, funny, profesionnal, local and open minde, ginving us our intimacy as well. So very flexible, listening and naturally understanding our expectations. We managed to see Lions (males and femals), buffalos, elephants, rhino, hippo, girafes, zebras, gnus, pumbas, monkeys, pink flamingos, and so much more! . David managed to see a Lion 500 meters before the Lion actually cross the path where we were minutes later. Unbelievable experience.
Lilian also organized for us to come to pick us up in the night at the airport (where Mathew was waiting for us - as well as driving us back to the airport after the safari). We stayed One night at their hotel in their office on arrival as well as after the safari before our early morning flight back to France. And we must say that Jackline is an excellent cook, and Lili makes the best samosas I ever tasted :) . So also very much delighted for having stayed at their hotal prior and after the safari.
We realised that Zohar African Safaris is very much Taylor Made, exclusive and local, which is really what we wanted. we were very much satisfied about the price we paid for the experience and services we had - taking into account having our own safari guide David for ourselves, showing us all the beauty of the parks and, great lunches in the nature with homemade food (vegetable, meat, coffe, tea, soft drinks, possibility to bring wine, etc). when most of other tourists were having hotel's lunch boxes. Modern vehicle as well etc.
We coul not be more satisfied about our safari with Zohar African Safaris. Thank you so much Lili. Wishing you all the best for the future. You now have 2 new ambassadors in France ;)
You can check on Tripadvisor (where I have added some pictures as well :) ).
I recommend 100% Zohar African Safari :)
