safari of 8 days with Masatu the best driver and guide.
A magical safari to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was a magical experience! Our driver and guide, Masatu was so nice, with a huge experience, he knows the places by heart, and he gave us all the informations about his country, culture, nature and he knows a lot about the wilderness and the animals. We were so lucky to have him with us for these 8 days safari. We will keep in our mind and in our heart a lovely and unique person. THANK YOU MASATU.
The rest of the trip was also organized by Takims and everything was perfect, the drivers were always nice and on time and with good advises. This is a very serious and good company.

Fantastic guide, stunning wildlife, trip of a lifetime!
My wife and I booked a 7-day safari in Kruger with Khalanga, after reviewing options with a number of tour operators. While others had fixed itineraries which they were not willing to modify at all, Khalanga tailored everything to suit our schedule, including pick-up and drop-off points at the start and end of our tour. Being our first trip to Africa, we asked lots of questions before we booked. No problem. Support from their office was friendly, fast, and very thorough. After describing our fuzzy concept of an ideal trip, they proposed a detailed daily itinerary that went beyond our expectations. Every detail was presented, from where we would stay each night, where we would have meals (including many prepared by our guide, Shoes), to how long we would be on the road each day, to an astoundingly accurate list of what we would likely see. Like everyone, we certainly wanted to see the "big animals." But we are also birdwatchers, and wanted to spend time slowly appreciating and photographing the bird life. Shoes was the perfect guide for both. He got us close to breathtaking wildlife, but we always felt safe in his care. He was always patient with us, and he is friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about what we were seeing. We also appreciated that he is an excellent expert on the bird life, showing us well over 100 species. I've taken guided tours on every continent except Antarctica. Shoes was far and above THE BEST guide I have ever had anywhere. It sounds cliche, but we had the trip of a lifetime! And the price was extremely reasonable, particularly considering our desire for "something different" from the normal safari. I have recommended Khalanga to many friends since our return, and if we ever get back to South Africa they will be the first folks we contact. Thank you, Shoes and Khalanga!

Great safari in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli
We did the 6 days Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli Safari. Okoa Africa Tours is a reliable tour operator. The safari was exactly as written in the itinary. The budget tent camps are clean and comfortable. Our driver Gibson was great, he really did his best to show us everything (and we did).

Kenya and Uganda Safari Experience
Booked safari adventure in Kenya at main Governor's Camp and in Uganda at the Silverback Lodge. Both experiences were outstanding and exceeded expectations. Also booked the hot air balloon safari and it was breathtaking to include seeing the sun rise as we began our journey over the Maasai Mara. All bush plane connections/flights were on time and a nice addition to our adventure. Gorilla Trekking was beyond compare and while quite strenous, well worth the effort. Walking sticks and porters made the journey much easier!
All accomodations were superb and the food was outstanding! Breakfast in the bush and happy hour cocktails all added to the experience in the wild observing a wide variety of animals up close.

Tanzania - Family (with 3 teenagers; 17,15 &13) Safari & Zanzibar
We recently returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania with Bright African Safaris! Everything was delivered exactly as promised from start to finish. Salim designed a perfect itinerary! Ultimately we decided on a 7 day safari and 3 days in Zanzibar.
Our guide/driver/friend was Hamisi. We adored him! From the moment we met him with his welcoming smile to saying goodbye at the airstrip while we cried big tears, he made our experience unforgettable! Hamisi's knowledge of the parks, animals, & people was incredible. We felt so lucky as we had allotted only 1 day to try to see the crossing, and Hamisi expertly found it for us! Hamisi drove us safely from sun up to sundown, laid out enviable lunches for us, and then had the car waiting in pristine condition each morning!
Each lodge and tented camp were very well chosen; one night a treehouse, other nights gorgeous resorts with infinity pools, and opulently appointed rooms, and still other nights with luxury tents. We loved each one!
Zanzibar was a relaxing way to end our vacation. One highlight was the chance to walk way out into the Indian Ocean at low tide to see all kinds of sea life!
Before we booked this trip I had many concerns and worries. Traveling half way around the world relying on on a company which I had only read about online, and communicated with electronically seemed crazy. After having returned safely with nothing but the best of memories we strongly recommend this TO to anyone looking for the safari experience of a lifetime. Asante BAS!

Very good trip
Isaac is a very good guide. He tried to show us as many animals as possible. The first two days with him was really interesting.
Another driver called Alex sent us back on the last day. Unfortunately Alex was not nice. That was really pitiful.
