Jessica with Dancing Zebra Safari Co is simply the best!
From our first inquiry call to Dancing Zebra Co throughout the trip itself, Jessica was helpful, patient, conscientious, and professional. The trip far exceeded any of our expectations due to Jessica's expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to plan a trip that seemed personally tailored for us. It is clear that Jessica has done her homework and wants only the best for her clients. The Lemala locations in Tanzania were stunningly beautiful and the Lemala staff/guides were extremely friendly, helpful,and hospitable. Jessica is passionate about the safari experience and is excited to share this passion with her clients. We couldn't imagine a more perfect experience thanks to Jessica at Dancing Zebra Co. and Lemala.

A Dazzle Safari is Life-changing
A Dazzle Africa safari is much more than a game drive. Of course, the guides are excellent and Zambia holds plenty of prime viewing spots. South Luangwa is a beautiful, unspoiled area with fantastic sunsets. What you experience outside of the safari vehicle means even more. You meet the people of Mfuwe and learn about their culture. You hear stories from wildlife rangers and conservationists. You have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and endangered species. You and your fellow travellers become part of the Dazzle family. A Dazzle vacation will change your life, immediately and forever.

Fantastic unforgettable safari!
We have been delighted with a very well organised safari. The driver Toya has a great level of experience and knowledge. We have learned a lot from him and felt safe with his company. He took us to Ngutuni Lodge where we spent unforgettable time admiring night wildlife. Wildlife Sun Safaris are highly recommended!

Perfect 6-day Safari
I booked the safari for myself and my parents because I wanted to show them my "second home". We did a six-day tour of the northern parks and even I could see Tanzania with completely new eyes! It was not my first safari but by far the best.
The accommodations were great especially for my comfort loving parents.
Our guide James was great, he knew a lot about the national parks and the animals. He speaks perfect german, which was good especially for my parents and he could help me to improve my Swahili ;)
I would book a safari with James anytime again!

Incredible 7-Day Accommodated Northern Tour!
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Namibia. Honestly when I first looked at TripAdvisor I was skeptical of how a tour company could have such a high rating but can't say enough great things about this. Great accommodations, comfortable transportation, unbelievable sites, and best of all was our tour guide (Previous). His genuine enthusiasm for everything we did was obvious including his gentle nudging to get up at the crack of dawn to get the best animal sightings. He made a great tour truly spectacular with a lifetime of memories!

OMG!!! That's how awesome this experience was for myself and my friends!
The Budget Three Day Safari was everything that the previous reviewers stated! It was amazing and we had such a good time. The weather was nice, put definitley bring sunglasses and a jacket! The drive from Johannesburg to Hazyview was not bad at all, the driver made plenty of rest stops, which allowed us to get food and even observe some animals before getting to Kruger National Park. The accomodations were just as described and eveything was well kept. The food was amazing and their were plenty of choices to choose from no matter your diet restrictions. Sidenote: I keep saying amazing becuase that's exactly what it was! David checked-in on us several times throughout the trip and made sure that we were comfortable with lodging and anything else that we may have needed. We saw all "Big Five" animals, which made the trip well worth it! This was a great experience and everybody who worked there went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! I have already suggested this trip to so many of my friends and family.

Awesome Family Trip ans a great guide!
My daughter booked the trip for us and I am still impressed by this great country with the beautiful landscape - now I understand why our daughter loves this country so much! Our guide James not only had an eye for hidden animals, he also could give us much information about them.
The communication ran smoothly, as James also speaks fluently German. This allowed us to gain a very personal impression of this country. We would always book a safari with James again!

Responsive during the planning process and excellent guide!
Noah was always very prompt returning emails and answering questions throughout the process, from our initial inquiry up until we left for Kenya. I can’t say enough good things about our guide, Eustace, he was truly exceptional and really made the Safari a memorable experience. We were very pleased with the lodges that were included in our package and our vehicle.
This was our first (but not our last!) Safari and I could t be happier that we selected Wildbeest Safaris, they delivered an amazing experience.

Best African adventure
We send a request to Bimos Travel and we had great quote, options from different lodges. Whatsap calls really helped to understands our needs. We were picked up on time the driver was knowledgeable and vehicle was good. The safari was 4 four of great experience. We spotted the big five in Mara national reserve.
Great Safari, terrible organisation & communication.
We booked a 10 day trip with Skywide. A safari followed by Mombassa beach to relax at the end.
The Safari was great but the relaxing part was anything but. We arrived at our so called 4* hotel in Mombassa and we arrived to a green swimming pool with mould everywhere, dirty bathrooms and flies on food. We called Skywide immediately to say we wanted to move to a hotel closer to what we had been promised without a mould and an out of action pool and their communication was quite frankly terrible- the hotel is FLAMINGO BEACH- (DO NOT STAY THERE!!!).
The hotel refused to move us to sister hotel with a clean pool in use because they said Skywide refused to cover the cost, two hours later and no news from Skywide after several calls and emails we took matters into our own hands and booked a trusted hotel and left as soon as possible.
We lost a whole afternoon (of a short 3 day break) sorting this out ourselves and Skywide would not reimburse the costs claiming it was far more expensive than Flamingo, they refunded us the stay at Flamingo and the price was half of what our new hotel cost.
On leaving we arrived at Mombassa airport to learn our flight to Nairobi had been cancelled and no one of Skywide had notified us, the consequences for this could have been massive as we had a connecting BA flight to catch to England. Skywide arranged the airport transfers and booked our internal flights therefore this was their responsibility, the flight was cancelled 9 hours earlier and they hadn't let us know, Kenya airways were shocked no one had contacted us from as they let the booker of the flights know about cancellations.
We got a flight with only 10 minutes to spare thanks to Kenya Airways running us through security, this was all due to Skywide's lack of communication and has we arrived at the airport on time and not early for our flight we'd have missed the earlier flight and our BA flight home.
So the Safari was great but I'd argue most safari companies out there would offer as good a service, after all the Masi Mara is it's own experience regardless whose arranged it, but the trip ended stressfully and as my mums trip of life time at 60 years old I was very angry she had to encounter this stress.
This was my third time to Africa and the worst company I've used I wouldn't recommend them.
