A great adventure from start to finish
I've just had 16 days of adventures with Grassrootz, just amazing from start to finish!
The first contact and Sander's quick replies immediately convinced me. The program he put together was great. It was very varied and I was motivated to experience something new every day.
On site, Paul was my guide and driver, a great guy! He knows his stuff very well, was always on time and is a good driver. I always felt safe with him. He has a broad knowledge, is well connected with others (if a lion or something was sighted) and it never got boring with him. You can tell he loves his job!
Many thanks to the entire team at Grassrootz

Responsive, attentive and very thoughtful
we booked our honeymoon Safari trip with Gosheni ,they took care of everything to make sure you enjoy your trip and Safari. A truly once in lifetime experience.
You should definitely try to get Gabriel as your guide because he is the best! He has 16+ years of experience and it shows. He is excellent at spotting all the different animals and knowing everything you’d want to know about them. He’s also just a terrific driver as he has no problem navigating the difficult terrain (we saw multiple other tours’ jeeps broken down). But, most importantly, he has a good sense of humor and kept our entire game driving entertaining. He is extremely friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to speak with!
One thing the tour does special compared to others is the lunch. They go above and beyond to create a special fun experience. Everyone else had boxed cold lunches. But Gabriel had the special containers, table cloth, and utensils that allowed him to serve us a multi course meal with glasses of wine to boot.
Thank you Gab and Gosheni for this amazing trip! Asante sana!

Best Safari ever
We had a lot of fun on a 6 day safari. We saw all big5 animals and witnessed great wildebeest migration which was unforgettable. Interesting part is visiting Maasai village, visit hundzabe tribe which is really interesting and amazing culture.

Trusted and experienced!
We had a wonderful experience of 2 nights fly-in from Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park! Honcho DMC made all the arrangements seamlessly, customized the tour and we had peace of mind throughout the travel. Particularly, they were very responsive (we communicated through WhatsApp) and considering this was our first Safari, I feel we made the right choice.
By the way, we made mind to do Safari about two weeks ahead of the travel date, kind of last minutes, but all the flight booking, local arrangements were completed by Honcho DMC, and hassle free on our end.
One note I would add, not necessarily to Honcho DMC, but Maasai cultural visit that we did was a bit disappointing… I think we should have been more cautious and be prepared but this one hour visit felt like pretty much to sell artifacts to us.. To be fair the chief of Masaai who can speak English explained many things, but I felt pressured to make purchase at the site and then end up paying A LOT MORE than it should be… Lesson learned on my end.

Experienced tour operator
We went on safari with the SAWAS team in December 2022 and it was absolutely amazing experience! We visited Tsavo East, Tsavo West national parks and Taita Hills private reserve with our amazing driver Shuma and had close encounter with elephants, lions, cheetahs, water buffalos... you name it! Everything was very well organized.Mr Martin the manager, created maximally personalised tour that included all our requests and it was cheaper than other offers we received. He was very pleasant to deal with and very responsive to all our requests, wether it's to change the itinerary Shuma the driver, was very knowledgeable and professional, besides being just a nice guy to be around . during our ride in the tsavo park we had quite a hair raising experience when two lions simply bored climbed into our van and right up onto the roof of the van where they stayed for a good 30 minutes one of them came so close to as that I could feel its hot breath,Mr Shuma was a reassuring presence as he was so calm,eventuàlly the lions wondered of...we lodged in the tsavo west park resort and wow,I have no bad comment about them,from the food to the services provided I loved all of it,congrats to the SAWAS team for making this a lovely experience

Experienced and wants what is best for you
We had the most amazing experience with Susan who went above and beyond to make sure our first time in South Africa was pleasurable and one to remember. Susan was patient with us while we scrambled with dates and decided to change what we wanted to do half way through our holiday. She also made sure to match us perfectly with a safari tour that would fit our active lifestyles so we were kept busy throughout the days. Our tour was most incredible, the value for money was well beyond what we paid for and we saw all the animals we were wanting to see plus more! Thank you Susan, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and appreciate your expertise and knowledge of South Africa while organising our trip.
