Disappointing experience
The Safai itself was quite well organized and very nice. I would also say that the price was fair, at least the initially planned price. That's where my disappointing experience kicks in:
The payment methods offered by the Red Chilli feel a bit like a rip-off. When I booked the tour, they insisted I would have to pay a 50%-deposit to confirm. They gave me some payment options, but without any information on which option has the lowest fees. As they all locked similar to me, I picked one randomly. This led to bank fees of 60 USD (more than 33% of the amount)! The management later said sorry for this, but refused to give me any form of compensation, even not a sign of good will (like a free night worth 12 USD for example, as proposed by me).
Furthermore, all cash payments in local currency at the hostel use an exchange rate that is 3,5% lower than the real one (there is also a 3,5% fee on card payments in the local currency) . Thus, you pay extra if you use the local currency! I obviously only found that out at the end of my stay.
Alltogether, it just didn't feel right. I would not recommand the Red Chilli, as there must be better options out there.

Outstanding experiences with outstanding people
Following our safari with Moriti Private Safaris, we have returned to Australia with 3 enthused and animated teenagers who are all dreaming of return visits. Maurice and I first met Shaun two years ago on our own trip, so this trip in August was our second with him. It was a family holiday which included Shaun and all his staff in the Family.
Moriti Private Safaris provide outstanding quality of service and accommodation for an incredibly affordable price so we could share this wonderful experience with our 12, 14 and 16 year olds. Our trip was based on the 9 day Kruger tour, but tweaked to our wishes (an extra night at Kruger and the private game reserve). He is amazing with adults and kids, and has a broad knowledge and keen interest in learning at every opportunity with which he inspires everyone else to learn.
I would not hesitate to recommend Moriti Private Safaris to anyone looking for a professional private safari of outstanding quality.

Perfect safari - Joining 5 days Tanzania
We looked over many safaris on this website - the 5 days joining Tanzania safari was the cheapest on the whole site in its category. We were a bit afraid what we will get but we rolled the dice.
IT WAS AMAZING.
Paul (the owner) helped us with the bookings and making the beginning and end of our tour tailor made. He was always honest, never promised something that was not delivered and we felt really safe throughout the whole trip.
The program itself was really nice - in 4 full days we saw the most important parks in Tanzania, the accommodations were superb, actually we were really surprised how nice all of them were (especially considering the low price - same Hotels were used as the more expensive competitors do). The food was all included as well as water during our tour. Everything was tasty.
The safari guide Justin was nice, we were 5 in our private Jeep - he always followed our instructions, he had many stories of the animals and he had good connection with... Read more other guides so that we always knew where to go to see some action. He managed to show us the BIG 5 that is really rare to see nowadays.
All in all we were 1000% satisfied with RoadSide Tanzania as well as all the guides and Paul working for the company. We will come back to Tanzania and for sure we will go with RoadSide.

African Safaris - Make holiday dreams come true
This is our second holiday arranged by Claire at African Safaris . The first in 2016 to Botswana Zimbabwe and Rwanda and this one to Namibia.
Claire and Tracy have been visiting Africa for many years and the hands on knowledge gained during this time, the contacts and friends they has made are a perfect formula to be able to provide the very best holidays .
Our trips were private tours and Claire was easy to chat to, discussing our requests , expectations and needs. She then put together an tour which together we tweeked to fulfil our dream holiday .
Throughout the process communication was brilliant , information provided and we felt confident when we left to go on our holiday every t was crossed and every i dotted and it was. Both holidays went like clockwork.
The holiday was everything we hoped for and much much more. Everyday an adventure wether it was he scenery , the local culture , stunning landscapes or of course close encounters with wonderful wild... Read more life. The local guides are knowledgeable and speak understandable good English.
We have he African bug now and when our next adventure needs to be sorted we will definitely be using the services of African Safaris . Thank you for making our holiday dreams come true.

14-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania!
We have hired a 14-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania (Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Amboseli)
They were able to organize our trip in 15 days and be attentive to our orders.
During the travel days there were certain inconveniences that at the end of the safari were recognized.
We appreciate the predisposition and your attention!

Amazing experience!
Easy going people and great drivers specially Boni!
We asked for a Safari in Masai Mara only and even though it was not what they were offering in the website they arranged very quick and effective. Also, we askedd for an specific camp and they arrange excatly what we wanted.
The experience in Masai Mara depends a lot of the company you book the tour with, so I can tell now that our experience was amazing thanks of Mufasa Tours! Thanks guys!
