Very friendly and good organisation.
We had an unforgettable time at our 4-day safari to Tarangire Nationalpark, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Our Guide was very good and everyone was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

WORST TOUR AGENT. They will fool you and take your money.
Me and my friend traveled with Safari Gates and had the worst experience ever. The tour operator and guide did not live up to our expectations and what the itinerary had mentioned whatsoever. Our guide Ben was always late in the morning. We had agreed to meet early morning by the car for our morning game drive 6am. One morning the staff at Enkorok lodge had to WAKE him up because he was still sleeping and we were waiting by the car ready for our game drive. Also, we were promised to go to the Mara river to see the great wildebeest migration/ crossing but he took us to some small tiny lake and pretending “this was the Mara river where the animals cross but the crossing stopped in June”, which is all bullshit. This is not my first time to Masai Mara and I have been here before and witnessed the great migration and crossing. Also want to mention we were here during the best time of the year to see this (beginning of September) which is the exact same time of the year I have been here before. Also want to mention that we talked to other people who were there but with other tour agents and they confirmed that they had seen the migration / crossing just the day before. So this was all lies from our guide. He was just being lazy and didn’t wanna take us to the right place / river. Also, on our final day before heading to the airport, we were promised a final morning game drive. We were supposed to meet by the car at 6am. But Ben our guide showed up at 8am!!!!!! 2 hours late on our FINAL day. And if we hadn’t called the tour operator asking where is he , for sure he would never even show up. We have lost so much time and viewing because of this. We always departed late in the mornings because he was late and sleeping. Missing out on the great migration/ crossing because of his lies and didn’t take us there. We have spent so much money on this trip and are so so so disappointed with this trip and operator. We made a complaint before flying back and met with the “owner” at the airport before departing and were promised a compensation for this. It’s been more than one month now and haven’t heard ANYTHING about this. Safari gates have really tricked us and fooled us and just taken our money for NOTHING. Even the owner / manager Rihal (also called Rocky) at flamingo hill camp where we spent the last night along with the rest of the staff there witnessed all this and was furious for our sake. Being 2 hours late on our last day and missing our SO much. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had with a safari tour. And being promised a compensation before flying back , but still haven’t heard ANYTHING.

The perfect holiday!
My sister and I used Wild Wings to organise our South African trip. We originally planned to go in May 2020, and had part paid for the trip, but then Covid got in the way.
Cathari and her team were great at keeping in contact and, when we were finally able to go in September 2022, Cathari made sure it was a perfect trip.
Wild Wings put together a fantastic tour that gave us an amazing overview of South Africa and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
Everything was brilliantly organised - we didn't have to worry about a thing. Everywhere we stayed was beautiful, all the transfers and flights were coordinated perfectly and there was a perfect balance of safari and city throughout the trip.
We really appreciate the effort and care put into organising this holiday for us, and would not hesitate to use Wild Wings again should we have the opportunity to travel to Africa again.

Fabulous experience with them.
Our trip was one of the best experiences we have had over the decades of us traveling across the globe. Because of Covid the Trip had to be postponed numerous times and the communication from Lidia with Soul of Tanzania was superb. She worked with us in choosing new facilities as the times of the year changed. The process could not have been better.
Our Guide, Wilson K., with his 30+ years of experience made the safari more than meet any expectations we may have had. His knowledge was outstanding, giving us a great education about the animals and the region of the continent.
We travel a fair amount, this was an A+ experience.

Fun and Exciting!
Endless Summer Tours provided us with a fantastic safari experience. We explored Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve and the St. Lucia Wetland Reserve.
Booking from the U.S. was easy. Our group of five let Rhys know what we wanted to see, so he created a wonderful, personal itinerary for us.
Our accommodations were all clean and comfortable. Best of all, was viewing wildlife right from our rooms. Rhys and Matt provided delicious, authentic meals. They're both great cooks and it was fun hearing their stories over dinner.
Rhys and Matt's passion and phenomenal knowledge of South Africa and its wildlife made for a great safari. Wildlife and bird sightings were numerous. One unexpected highlight was the chameleon safari, sighting chameleons and snakes.
Thank you so much, Rhys and Matthew, for a great time. We highly recommend Endless Summer Tours!

Great organized Safari Trips with a very nice guide
We booked a 6-day private safari. Before the safari, the communication was very easy on WhatsApp. He always replied fast and answered every question.
During our 6-day safari we visited the following national parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro. The duration of the safari was perfect and we had enough time to see everything. We got picked up from the airport and every accommodation was organized without any problems. Our guide Andrew was very nice and taught us alot about the culture of Tanzania, the animals and the nature. We always had a great atmosphere on our safari.
We had a really great time on our safari and we can recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris.
Wakanda forever, Wakanda for life!

Spectacular Tanzania & Amazing Gosheni
An African Safari was part of my bucket list . And Gosheni delivered way beyond our expectations.
First Peter Roberts the owner painstakingly got back to me every-time without passing me on to any staff which he could easily have during our planning phase. He even took a few moments out of his busy schedule to meet us on the last day.
On arrival in Tanzania, his team delivered way beyond our expectations. From the point we stepped out of the the airport to the point we stepped back in we relished amazing hospitality.
Both the camps Acacia Tarangire & Acacia Serenity teams led by John & Omega went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The warmth of the welcome itself blew us off. Wet towels, refreshing drinks , music & dance. The food was perfect too. From the crack of dawn, the team would serve us with a smile always . The tents were par excellence and very trendily decorated log cabin styles. Comfortable, spacious & very tastefully done up. Waking us to the roar of the lions & the scurrying feet of zebra grazing in the front yard , was a dream come true. One would think it just couldn’t get better.
But actually it did. We were very very lucky to have got an extremely knowledgeable guide -William Augustino David. A Kilimanjaro Mountain guide as well as a Safari guide, William with a smile, made sure all our hopes for each day came true. Driving tirelessly, eagle eyed William would show us animals we did not know existed. I think I have never seen as many species of animals ever as we did with William. He even taught us the subtle differences in antelopes and I bet he is still laughing at our bungled responses as he quizzed us.
All in all , this is one stupendous holiday that will stay close to my heart forever as will this team that made it happen. They made sure we had absolutely zero things to complain about. Loved Tanzania , loved Gosheni & loved Peter, William, Omega, John & his team. You all will forever remain in our hearts along with spectacular Tanzania which we left behind today with millions of warm memories & a full heart.
