Fabulous Trip
We have a fabulous trip! We stayed at the Simba Lodge and the Soap Lodge: both were lovely and both had spectacular views. Our guide–Joseph–was laid back but completely on top of getting us to see many, many majestic animals. We had a super time!

All in one budget safari
I had the pleasure to have Mohamed from Travel Safari Agency to plan a 5-day budget safari trip for me. Mohamed was always there to reply to my emails (and there were many) and in general very helpful. He also came to personally pick me up for me airport and make sure that I joined a group of other people for the safari. The only drawback in the entire trip was that my 5-day programme was quite different to what I had agreed on via email. In this order, I was meant to have Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Instead, I ended up going first to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. I gained 1 extra park but then again I would have preferred to stay longer in Serengeti. In the group I joined, everyone had had similar change of schedule. Regardless of this, the 5-days were fantastic! Everything worked and we saw many animals and beautiful scenery. Afterwards, Mohamed came to see me in person and was very happy to have my feedback. Great customer service! In general, I can warmly recommend Travel Africa Safari Agency to anyone.

Amazing Tour!
I just finished a 5 day Gorilla and Chimp tour of Uganda. I am a 26 year old woman who was traveling by herself. From the very start, the communication with Simba Africa Expeditions was great. It was very easy to book through them, and when I changed my pickup/drop off destinations fairly last minute they easily accommodated. Seeing the gorillas and chimps in the wild was an unbelievable experience that I would encourage anyone to do. All the places that Simba booked for me to stay overnight were stunningly beautiful and all the meals were delicious. The best part of the tour was my guide, Tom. From the very first pickup I knew I was in good hands. He is incredibly knowledgable about Uganda and truly made an effort to always make me feel comfortable. He was a great friend along my journey! I could not recommend this tour company more.

Amazing 6-day experience with 2 great guides
Communication was good. Fatuma was our main contact via email and she normally responded to all my questions within 24 hours. Sadly, right after we paid the safari fee it felt as if we were downed to second priority customers and often had to chase her up in order to get the answer to our questions.
Dixon was our dedicated driver and he really knew his stuff. Always trying to give us the best experience possible he managed to drive us to all the great locations where we could spot animals. I don't think I have to mention how mesmerising some of the sights have been for us. Can't emphasise how happy we were with our choice to do a private safari for just the two of us and for 5 full days long. Our itinerary was
1. day: Lake Manyara
2., 3. & 4. day: Serengeti NP for 48 hours
55. Ngoro Ngoro Crater
The sixth day we were driven to a Maasai Mara village where we could also learn more about their life style.
Pasco was the chef who often stayed behind during the game drives to prepare not only our tents but also the food. It all tasted delicious and we really did feel spoiled.

Every person is knowledgeable and professional and OUTSTANDING. We interacted with many employees.
Every member of the team is excellent. The drivers first class. The jeeps in good shape and with pop up ceilings so all can see. The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable and know so very much about all the animals it was quite impressive. I would only use them on future trips.

Gifts of the Kalahari: an experience in the experience
We are a family with 2 girls (17 and 14 years old) and we spent 11 days in Botswana with Lucky and his team (Marusa, Jacob, Norman). We really appreciated their job. Marusa, a great Chef, I couldn't believe what he managed to cook in such a difficult situation. Jacob a very nice person ready to help and solve whatever. Norman great as well. A special team, never tired, always smiling.
Lucky ... our guide. Where to start from: he knows the bush, he knows the animals, he knows the tourists. So he knows very well his job and it's very clear that he loves it. I think that this is the secret.
But let's start from the beginning: the definition of the safari. He was patient and polite also after 20 emails I wrote him before leaving.
During the safari, he feels the bush: the rumors, the bird's sound, the movements in the grass, the tracks. He knows very well animal's behaviour. He knows where to go, where to stop for a picture, the best place to stay when 5 jeeps are close the lions. He wants the best for its clients and he knows what the clients want. He's incredible with birds as well and I'd also strongly suggest him for photographic safari. I'd also strongly suggest for families: your sons will live much more than a safari.
Me, my husband and my girls will never, ever, forget the evenings at the fire when Lucky was telling us the stories about him and his uncle in the bush. Lucky is not a bushmen (he never lived in the bush), but his uncle was a bushmen. With no doubt I'd say that Lucky is a "bushmen inside". My daughter wrote down his stories in her diary...
These 11 days staying with them, were an experience inside an experience. I suggest you to go and be ready to fully live it.
