An unforgettable experience!
Last year we visited Namibia, this year we decided to travel on our own through Botswana and the northern part of SA. However, it was difficult to book campsites on our own in Botswana, communication with the campsites was bad or we got late responses. Therefore, we decided to contact African Travels for help. It was the best thing we did. Marijnke (owner of African Travels) knows a lot about Africa and she knows the most beautiful places. Thanks to her, it was an unforgettable experience!
Communication with African Travels was more than good. Because of the weather, we changed part of the trip. Marijnke was reachable 24/7. She came up with good ideas how to travel and which campsites/accomodations were still available and she also booked the locations for us while we were in desert.
Furthermore, African Travels arranged a very good car for us (Toyota Hillux 4x4) by a trusted partner of them. The owner of the rental company also knew a lot about Africa and told us the most beautiful stories.
I definitely would recommend to contact African Travels if you want to travel trough Africa so that your dream can come true!

Best experience so far
Ever since we first contacted Crystal Safari until we met Hennington at the airport, we were very well informed about the itinerary and the status of our trip. The lodge at Bwindi National Park provides all the comfort and rest we needed ahead of the Gorilla Tracking. The tracking itself exceeded all expectations. That experience was incredibly touching and we look forward to come back to Uganda.

PERFECT !! Thank you !!
Like many people, we did a lot of research for a long time and hesitated to organize our safari. Being in love with animals and dreamers of this experience for a long time, we have given the choice of the organizing agency an enormous importance.
Tanzania Specialist has been at the top from beginning to end and we thank them very much for helping us make a dream come true and allow us to come back with stars in our eyes.
From the first contact, professionalism and seriousness were their key words. They gave us advice on the different parks to visit, the different routes to take and offered us the most suitable to our request. Once there, as soon as we got off the plane and until we got back to the airport for our return flight we were accompanied. A briefing to provide us with all the necessary information the day before the start of the safari as well as a variety of incredible and unforgettable activities (special mention at night safari and hot air balloon safari).
Throughout the safari our guide was perfect, friendly, kind, providing a lot of information, arranging, it allowed us to fully enjoy our safari and live it at 1000%.
The car was perfect too, with sunroof but also a refrigerator and plenty of storage to have these devices (photos) available.
The accommodations chosen by the Specialists are exceptional !! combining comfort, luxury and authenticity, it decompresses the day and there is great warmth from the various extremely welcoming staff (special mention Kilimamoja Lodge Lake Manyara and Ole Serai Luxury Camp Serengeti Park).
Thanks to Tanzania Specialist it was a perfect safari and full of emotions !!
Big big up and thanks to Ramdan our guide but also to Mathilde and Zoe who were at the top !!
The best !!!!

Went to the police
We went to the police station after Mr. Otieno didn’t show up as agreed.
After 3 police station the 4 was the correct place. It’s at Ngong road besides kenyatta hospital.
The policeman in charge of the case said he has 10 cases like ours at the moment.
He said that last year he had a similar problem and he payed everybody. I just don’t know how we couldn’t find coments about that on the internet.
If you are in a similar situation, I recommend you book another safari because he won’t show up. And if you come to Kenya, go to the station make a complaint so he can be sued and stop stealing from people.

Outstanding trip by Aardvark to visit Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater with excellent guide
My wife and I went on the weekend safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater with Aardvark.
There are a lot of companies who can arrange a safari tour for you. We didn't have any experience with the companies so through the internet we became in contact with Aardvark.
Philemon responded very quick by mail. Further contact was by WhatsApp. This contact was very good and quick. Philemon offered even to visit us to discuss the safari.
In a short time we had planned the safari and the overnight stay at Ngorongoro Farmhouse including the price.
We left at Saturday morning and the guide was waiting for us perfectly on time. The guide Urio was very kind.
We started at Tarangire and we have seen a lot of different animals. It was very busy at the entrance of the park, but Urio took care of the documents in 5 minutes. Urio was not for 'convoy' driving, he managed to avoid al busy roads and he took his own way in the park with a speed that we had all the time to look at and look for the animals. He also looked with us for the animals. His knowledge of the animals and the surroundings was very good and you could ask him everything.
At the picnic in Tarangire he even had a plaid on the table for us!
After Tarangire we went for the overnight stay to Ngorongoro Farmhouse. The stay in the lodge was excellent, the food was good and in the early morning at 06.00 am the lunchbox is prepared in front of you with things you like.
With a short drive we went in to the Ngorongoro area. From the entrance of the park it was a drive of 50 minutes to the entrance of the crater.
The crater was astonishing, what a view at the top and inside the crater. Again Urio got us into the park and out of the 'traffic' of all other visitors very fast, and he took the time to drive through the crater to look for many animals. We again spotted a lot of wonderful animals. The lunchsite was perfect, also the plaid we could to sit on, at the lakesite with hippo's in front of us!
After lunch we wanted to see de rhino but we had no luck.
Great thanks to the organization of this trip by Philemon and our friendly guide Urio.
I would highly recommend this company for everyone, the details of this safari made it perfect.

Excellent service and care
We had a fantastic time in Kenya with David and his trustworthy team. We were able to easily arrange our trips several months ahead of time with email and once we arrived on the ground they were in constant contact via whastap and mobile. We had a fantastic day trip to the Nairobi National Park as well as the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Both trips exceeded our expectations and we were able to witness so many animals and beautiful scenery. David also personally escorted us on a long trip to the Kario Valley near Eldoret where we stayed several days. All in all I would easily recommend David and his team for all of your needs while in Kenya.

Great company. Thanks Philip!
I climbed Ol Doinyo Lengai with Manyara travel in July 2019. Philip organised everything and it was fantastic. He organised everything including airport pickup, accommodation, equipment, food and driver and chef (Thanks Lemic and Tom). Most importantly, he personally guided me to the top of Ol Doinyo Lengai along with a Masaai guide, Abraham, who was also excellent. Lengai is a challenging hike. Having done Kili and Meru, this was far more intimidating as there are steeper slopes with some parts where you climb on all fours. It is also quite an isolated area so there is risk. I was very happy with Philips services and I would recommend him to anyone else. Thanks Philip!

14 Days Kenya Wildlife adventure
What an amazing adventure! From the beginning John Peter made the booking process very easy, with very swift responses to all our emails and questions. We had a day in Nairobi and were taken to the elephant and giraffe sanctuaries (where you can hand feed the giraffes), which were both well worth a visit. Our itinerary then took us to Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, The Ark and Samburu. The itinerary was well thought out and gave us a great variety of what Kenya has to offer. Each location was so different and we stayed in a variety of accommodation styles. We had two separate guides, both were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Apart from the flora and fauna, we also learned a lot about Kenya's history. This was our second trip to Kenya (15 years apart) and we would definitely recommend booking a safari through African Paradise Safaris.

Top quality!
African travels tailored a self-drive tour from Cape Town to Johannesburg for the four of us, which perfectly suited our wishes and expectations. They were of great assistance when our in-flight was delayed. The guesthouses and lodges they suggested were great. We enjoyed every minute of our trip!
