Amazing experience in Pilanesberg NP!
Overall we had an incredible experience with SW Africa Destination Management. We always felt welcome and safe during our adventure. The game drives we had in the NP were an amazing experience we will never forget. The guides were very nice and they told us a lot about the animals and their behavior.
We would always recommend SW Africa Destination Management and are happy and grateful that they did everything for us to experience a fantastic holiday.

bad experience with this company
這間老闆在收錢時很快說一切包在我身上. 但並沒有先把錢給司機加油. 所以我正中午大太陽之下被困在車子裡1個多小時等這間老闆匯錢給司機去加油. 且這間safari所提供從dar 接送的車子是沒有冷氣的. 浪費時間 cp不高 不推
this company didnt give money to driver for fuel in advanced. so i was stuck in the car in the middle of day for more than 1 hour(the car condition is bad with no ac no light and even gear box is not functioning well) not suggest at all. terrible

What a fantastic family trip to Tanzania! Really affordable and superb game viewing.
A friend recommended Zilla Expeditions and from the moment I got in contact with Albert I knew I was in safe hands. He was always available online to discuss options, with really prompt responses to my queries. He was always polite and supportive about every tiny detail of our trip and was super flexible about all the tweaks, changes and amendments we made along the way. Al met us at the airport personally to escort us to our hotel in Arusha and then Severin, our guide, took over for the safari - an absolute gem! Such a fun person to spend time with and so attentive to all of our needs. Clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. I was worried about the "adventure" level of the trip, but the price was right and all of the accommodations Al chose for us, simple, boutique lodges and mobile camps in the bush, completely exceeded our expectations of style and comfort. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Al, Severin and Zilla Expeditions to other travellers wanting to plan their Africa dream trip of a lifetime, without breaking the bank.

This was an incredible safari
This was an incredible safari thanks to Wildebeest Safaris and mostly to our driver guide who was of great help. His knowledge about animals, trees and locations of different lodges within the park was just amazing. Thanks to the entire Wildebeest Safaris team for the quick response and the great arrangement. My friends and I will recommend your company.

Excellent tour and experience of a lifetime
Our family of three (with a seven year-old) enjoy the Safari experience tremendously over the 3 days. We initially have misconception about safari and whether it's suitable for seven year-old. Our guide Jayden ensured that we were notified on the safety information.
Jayden is very knowledgeable and experience. We learnt a lot about wildlife during the trip. It's like watching National Geographic but even better! It is totally awesome to see the animals live!

We had an amazing safari
Four of us went on a eight day safari in early June. Yunus was our guide. He could not have been more wonderful. He was the best driver and very safe. He found all the animals for us and tried very hard to get as close as possible. He had a great sense of humour and made every day a fun and exciting experience. The service in all the camps was excellent as was the quality of the food. The safari far exceeded our expectations. We always stopped somewhere interesting to enjoy our lunch. This was an experience we will all remember for ever. Yunus had a hawk eye for finding the animals. We saw the migration along with many other glorious animals.

Fantastic active safari through Mana Pools National Park
Communication leading up to the trip was excellent - Kelly assisted with ground transfers. Our driver Abel facilitated border formalities so they didn't take long. Mark and Manu, our guides, were knowledgeable and extremely good at finding wildlife. We felt safe at all times in their capable hands and their enthusiasm was infectious. The camp crew couldn't do enough for us; the food they cooked was delicious and vegetarians well catered for. Tents were spacious and comfortable, whilst the daily program was tailored so no one ever got bored. And how could you be bored?! We dodged hippos in our canoes, checked out ancient baobabs and dinosaur fossils, tracked (and found) leopard and lion, got close to wild dogs. No two days were the same. We will definitely recommend Natureways to all of our friends and we will be back!

Great experience
With the exception of some challenges with the Capetown guide on the last day of our visit to the city, every portion of our booking experience and the two week tour in South Africa exceeded our expectations.

Levis, our contact was receptive, courteous and informative regarding our request. We felt confident
We booked a one day Birding Specific professionally guided tour, through Nairobi National Park prior to our 10 day safari. Levis interpreted our needs and wants and came up with a great plan including a land rover for optimum photography. We needed to alter our plan slightly and that was not a problem. We felt very confident. Patrick our guide was very knowledgeable about bird identification, migration, behaviour etc. He was so willing to move the land rover for the best photos etc. and it was evident that he wanted us to have the best birding experience possible. Patrick had all kinds of birding data he was willing to share with us but unfortunately his voice did not carry beyond the front seats, so those further back missed out on a lot of information. Our day was extremely full and Patrick kept trying to find us more birds. We ended up with an unofficial number of 63 birds but possibly 73 once photo ID's are made. That is a pretty fantastic day of birding. Also, we were able to sight... Read more and watch African mammals at leisure. Aslo, thank you to Patrick who knew that we wanted to see the elephant tusk sights and made that possible with photo ops available. All in all it was a great day provided by Hallmark Planning.
The box lunch was really tasty and very fulfilling cudos to the catering company. Thank you one and all for making our day so special!

Excellent service from Go Touch Down Tours
We went to a presentation given by Go Touch Down Tours on traveling to South Africa. This covered Tours in Cape Town and Johannesburg, including daily safaris.
On our way I told my wife I wasn’t so sure about a trip to Africa.
The presentation was so inspiring that half way though I leaned to my wife and said we should go.
We decided to take advantage of their offers and we booked both Cape Town and Johannesburg.
I can honestly say that the presentation was great but everyone, from the office to the guides, went way beyond to make this the most enjoyable and memorable experience anyone could have.
5 stars all the way!
We are still in contact with our guides, ( now very good friends) and some of the people we were on tour with.
