More than brilliant and with the best safariguide Max!
The planning was a great pleasure from the beginning, our wishes were responded to quickly and very flexibly. We had the best safari guide there is and we can only recommend him to everyone!
Max Lee! His knowledge about the animals, nature, the Maasai people and his warm and open way of passing on his great knowledge made this, our first safari, something very special.
Julieth Wilfried and the whole team were always very flexible and responded quickly to our wishes, the result was a true dream safari!
All accommodations were fantastic.
The safari was simply fantastic, which we of course also owe to our absolutely great safari guide Max.
We were a group of 5 ranging in age from 24 - 64 and learned so much from Max and we highly recommend him to any traveler!
Many thanks to Brilliant Safaris and Max Lee for the unforgettable safari!

Federica at Shikwaru Adventures provided unparalleled service for an amazing price.
If you are a contemplating a midrange trip to Southern Africa run, don't walk, to Shikwaru Adventures. They have deep regional expertise, expert guides, and provide high-level service. They planned our entire trip, a mid-range Safari / Joburg / Cape Town, that provided amazing value for the price. Despite arriving home just yesterday, we are already talking about a return visit. Thank you, Federica!

A safari planned by the family you didn’t know you had in Tanzania
From months before I arrived, Stephen wrote asking me exactly what I was looking for to make the dream vacation with my 11 and 14 year old kids. By the time he got me at the airport, I felt like I was meeting an old friend. He made so much time to take us to local restaurants and shopping outside of the safari so we could truly experience Arusha too. The safari itself is what I wanted - more rustic with us using tents and staying at small family-owned locations. The chef cooked great meals using ingredients all bought from the local markets. The driver was unreal in his ability to handle roads and driving conditions that I know there is zero chance I could have done! We saw all of the animals we wanted - I don't get why people would not come towards the end of the rainy season when all of the babies are still with their parents. Going to multiple parks allowed us to see so many animals in different habitats. It is difficult to explain just how different it is seeing even the same animals inside the crater verses crossing the street in the Serengeti. Having an experienced driver is crucial because in addition to how freaking scary the roads, the guide can spot animals way in advance. There are a lot of options for tours but what I got with this one was an owner who genuinely cared to make my experience personal to make my dream come true. It was the little extra things Stephen did that I do not think a large company would ever do and that made a difference.

Wonderful trip in Tsavo West and East
The trip organized and managed by Karibu Safari Kenya was just perfect for me and my 2 friends. Everything was well managed, and our guide, Harouni, was very professional, welcoming and kind. We stayed in Ngulia and Voi Lodges, both of them really good! And we got to see all the big 5, so we were very lucky!

Excellent service and organization. But the best our guide Maxwell!
Excellent agency! We booked mid range safari for 5 days. All was done by whatsupp and they did not request any prepayment. The price was very fair as well. The tour was excellent. The best was our driver, Maxwell, thanks to him we saw the big five in first 2 days. He also helped with everything and adapted schedule to the needs of the rest of the group. We were really lucky to have him with us! The hotel in Masai Mara was simply great! I recommend this agency to everyone!

Unforgettable!
We had a really nice trip, all organised, but also flexible to our wishes. Our guide Douglas gave us interessting facts (we could ask him everything) and our cook Moshi always created delicious food - both really friendly, funny and they made sure that we feel well. All sleeping equipment was available and it is a nice experience to sleep in the nature in the tent (although a little bit cold;)). Just recommendable!!

William organised a 2 night trip to Victoria’s Falls from Joberg then a 2 night add on trip from VF to Botswana . Every detail was meticulously planned - wonderful 5 star stay at The z pioneer in Zimbabwa, Boko evening dinner show, VF early morning tour, helicopter ride over the Falls, lunch at the lLookout Gorge then late afternoon / early evening Zambezi River / Dinner cruise - has a wonderful time, out guide Locci was wonderful . Trip to Botswana equally good - stayed at Chobe bush lodge ( more updated than the safari lodge) very comfortable , all meals included (including wonderful a’ la carte dinner option). Lodge also included 2 drive and 2 river safaris - wonderful selection of animals - lions, elephants galore, buffalo, ports of hippos everywhere, towers of giraffes, troops of baboons and herds of impalas. Our trip surpassed our expectations!

Best Tour Guide Jimmy
The tour overall was very great. All pick ups and starts to the days were punctual, allowing the group to only enjoy the experience rather than worry about the logistics. Only downside was that I was unable to extend my trip due to limited availability so make sure you book completely in advance. I did 3 day expedition and wish I had at least done 4 days if not 5.
I am happy to write a review about your safari tour guide Jimmy who was absolutely excellent.
From the moment we met Jimmy, we knew that we were in good hands. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and the surrounding areas, and his expertise was evident from the very beginning. He took the time to get to know us and our interests, and he tailored our safari experience to our specific needs and desires.
Throughout the safari, Jimmy was always there to answer our questions and provide us with valuable insights about the wildlife and the environment. He was also incredibly accommodating, making sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy the experience.
What really set Jimmy apart, though, was his exceptional efforts to make our safari experience truly unique and individualized. He went above and beyond expectations to ensure that we had the best possible experience, taking us to places that were off the beaten path and showing us things that we would never have seen otherwise including the big 5. He continued to say he cannot promise anything in the wild but to expect anything with him and I can say he surpassed any expectations.
Overall, I cannot recommend Jimmy enough. He is truly an outstanding safari tour guide who made our experience unforgettable. His knowledge, professionalism, kindness, and efforts are unparalleled, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as our guide. Thank you, Jimmy, for an incredible experience.
