Fabulous service from Cardboard Box Travel Shop
My family (me, my husband and 2 kids - aged 9 and 11) recently did a self-drive trip through Namibia and Botswana. Having never been to Africa before, we found Cardboard Box Travel Shop to be a very useful source of information and support. Our consultant (Anita) provided great advice in planning our itinerary (and making sure we were seeing all the highlights while avoiding too many long driving days), and in recommending accommodation and activities that suited our family. She answered all our questions, made the bookings for us (including car hire), and ensured that our trip ran very smoothly. I highly recommend Cardboard Box for their passion and knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly service. We had the most wonderful trip and look forward to returning. Thanks Anita!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
Safari with Mega Adventures was a UNIQUE experience.
We organized the trip with Mohamed (by email) who always showed his willingness and attention to any request made to him, with answers that were always quick and satisfying.
Once we landed at the Kilimanjaro airport we found a great guide waiting for us: Mubarak!
We were really satisfied. We did 8 full days safari with him, time run very fast. He has always been available and attentive to our needs, taking care of our comfort on the jeep, which however was very well equipped with:
-sunscreen
-repellent for insects
- hands disinfectant gel
- wet wipes
-binoculars.
He was also a reliable driver and a very prepared guide, explaining a lot of things about animals, savannah and the Masai culture.
everything was BELLISSIMOOO!!!

The guides were exceptionally good and the trip was very well organised. Highly recommended
Natureways exceeded our expectations in every way. The quality of the guides was a real highlight. The entire team was superb, from river guides to cooks and others at camp.

Very well organised
I loved the seedballs to throw. When we wanted to wee in the Mara we went up a big hill and it was disgusting with loo paper everywhere. Some ecotoilets, helicptered in would be better for the environment and provide more privacy for tourists.

Uncredible Safari
We had a wonderful safari, we‘ve seen many animals, not just the Big Five. Often we could see the animals up close, elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos... Our driver and guide, Hoza, has brought us many unforgettable moments, sometimes we were alone for a long time. Hoza was very welcoming, he was very knowledgeable and knew where to find the animals. He has patiently fulfilled every photo request and my wish to see also little elephants.
Evelyn and her team took care of everything in advance and after the Safari, we werde very happy with the service.
The only downside was the partly worn and broken equipment (chairs!). In addition, the sanitary facilities on the campsite in the Serengeti were extremely neglected, some of the doors of the toilets were hung and there was no light ...

I was very satisfied and they delivered what they agreed to!
I was looking for a tour company located in Kenya. I came across Twinkle Star Tours and Safaris and I spoke to James and told him what I wanted, what I could afford, I was traveling with a teenager , and that I wanted to see the Great Migration. He came up with an amazing Safari that was very affordable. He offered me a 12 days Safari to Kenya and Tanzania.
James and his family greeted us to Kenya. We visited 6 National Parks and saw the Great Migration from the banks of the Masai Mara Reserve. AWESOME!!!!
We experienced a variety of very comfortable accommodations including the tented camp in the Serengeti (my request). All the accommodations, food, servers, and guides were great. James contacted us everyday to make sure everything was going the way we had agreed to.
If you’re planning to visit East Africa, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TWINKLE STAR TOURS AND SAFARIS.

African Safari Dream Come True With Seth Vincent
Hi
I just returned to California from 13 days African Safaris in Kenya and Tanazania including Zanzibar.
I spent August 2019 in Africa and a week in Germany on my way back to the US.
I had a dream vacation.
I was picked from Nairobi airport by Eric, a kind fluent English speaking guide and was brought to the fanciest
hotel you can imagine namely Sarova Stanley where I met Seth.
Seth is the organizer who arranges different guides for different activities and countries.
Eric was with me in Nairobi for the elephant rescue center, giraffe center and Tribes of Africa experience.
Another Guide, intelligent, fluent English speaking and kind by the name Morris drove me to dream places
including Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naviasha.
Upon crossing to the Tanzanian border I was picked by Sam Biagga. I enjoyed the company of a college educated,
kind hearted guide who even invited me for dinner at his house in Arusha Tanzania. Sam took me through the Seregenti
to Lake Maynara and to Arusha. Every question about wildlife was answered with thorough knowledge.
The selection of places and activities was excellent. I saw the Big 5 , wildebeest migration and much more.
In each border crossing and each airport the guides were waiting for me upon arrival.
Seth was monitoring each step of my trip and talked to me through whatsapp routinely to make sure everything is allright.
All the lodges and hotels were of top quality. Even in the middle of the Seregenti, surrounded by baboons and hyenas, the
lodge had electricity and wifi as Seth promised as I needed electricity for my CPAP breathing machine.
Each advice that Seth gave me came true: I went to Kruger in South Africa to see another safari. Though I do not regret visiting
South Africa and Kruger is an experience by itself, yet like Seth told me you can see all the wild life you desire in Kenya/Tanzania
and there is no need to go to South Africa.
Seth told me in Nairobi how much cash to prepare for tips and casuals. I did not listen and ended up wasting time on unnecessary trips to ATMs.
In my view Seth can arrange a dream safari/vacation for you for your money. He knows the travel business inside out. He knows to hire/contract the highest quality tour guides. He cares about you.
Before my trip people asked me in California: "What you are not afraid to go to Africa by yourself?"
Now Africa is big, but in Kenya and Tanzania you will enjoy hospitality, English speaking population and you are in countries
that respect tourism as it is so crucial to their economies.
Also if you are afraid that you will wire money to an operator on SafariBookings and you will become a victim to a scam, it
is very unlikely to happen. My Tanzanian guide explained to me that operators who appear on safaribookings are tightly licensed and
regulated by the governments of Tanzania and Kenya.
To conclude: Trust Seth Vincent and you will have a great vacation
