Trip of a lifetime
Our family safari with Earthlife Expeditions was a trip of a lifetime. The animals we saw and the varied landscapes we adventured through were amazing. Our guide Joseph was fantastic! He speaks 5 languages. His knowledge of the animals, their habitats and the Tanzanian culture was extensive. His enthusiasm and passion for what he does made Joseph an exceptional guide. We saw the Big Five and so much more. You'll return home enriched after spending time on the trail with Joseph. The whole group at Earthlife Expeditions organized an outstanding experience. The accommodations were perfect. The staff were warm and inviting. A trip we will never forget.

Great safaris, beautiful people
We spent a wonderful week in Tanzania, in the Arusha region.
We had both the time for a 4 days safari, visiting 4 beautiful parks such as Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Manyara. We spotted a lot of wild animals and birds, and the views were great. We booked with Lion King Adventure and we strongly recommend them for your safari, our guide was very professional and everything was just perfect.
Moreover, we had time to stay at the Africa Amini Life lodges, which support the Africa Amini Alama project, which supports the local Nuru and Masai population in the Arusha region.
We had the occasion to visit the project, with the hospital, the orphanage and the laboratories. We got in touch both with the people working for this great project and get in touch with the local population, which is simply great, always welcoming you.
We can only recommend to visit Tanzania and also support Africa Amini Alama and other similar projects to strengthen the economy and sustainable tourism of the region.

My Uganda safari has left an indelible pleasant memory.
My Uganda safari is really a life-time experience. The dream that I have cherished for long has come true. My exploration started with Kibale National Park in search of chimps. It was followed by Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenitrable National Park and Lake Bunyonyi. Abound with a rich wildlife, Ugandan rain forests have a pristine beauty with their primates, hippos, crocs, tree-climbing lions, birds, and, on top of all, the mountain gorillas. The weather was very pleasant. The accommodations were nice, particularly the one in Queen Elizabeth National Park. The transportation was very good. My guide is an excellent young man. Except for rural roads, the highways are great. In brief, my Uganda experience is unforgettable.

I took my eleven year old granddaughter to see animals in the wild.
I used Alliance Destinations to plan our safari and it was fabulous. Elizabeth responded to my inquiry within minutes of sending it and from there we planned the 8 day safari by the end of the day. She never failed to respond to me within the day when I would ask questions or want to adjust the schedule. We had a very knowledgeable guide/driver who found all the animals we were looking for.....of course, the big five and more. The resorts where we stayed were always wonderful and clean.
My next trip to Kenya would always be with Alliance Destinations as they followed through with all our requests and I'd always ask for Antony as a guide.

Amazing
Ker & Downey planned the trip of a lifetime for us. From our Safari in Phinda and another to Sabi Sabi along with our time in cape town and the wine lands. Everything and everyone was outstanding. The people, the accommodations, the food, the wildlife and even our transportation were first class all the way. It was a trip I would take again and not change a thing. Thank you Ker & Downey!

Silas is a fantastic guide with very good knowledge of the different parks we visited.
The company offers good service and knowledge. I have travelled with them several times and always had a great time. Reliable, flexible, knows all the best places to find even the most rare animals, and last but not least, make you feel like you are on a safari with a good friend. I van warmly recommend this company.

A unique Educational Adventure - Save the Rhino Walking Safari
A year ago we were approached by Nick Buys of Nature Travel Namibia to see if we would be interested in participating in a unique new safari opportunity - Save the Rhino Walking Safari. The safari would give us the opportunity to track one of the most endangered African Mammal Species, the black Rhino, and to learn first hand the conservation measures being undertaken in Namibia. Having travelled with Nature Travel Namibia a few years ago, and experiencing a great safari at that time, we did not hesitate sign up for this journey, and again we had an exceptional experience. In preparation for the trip, the team at Nature Travel Namibia, were very prompt in responding to any questions we had, assisting us with booking pre and post accommodation in Windhoek and providing a good summary of the safari. On arrival in Windhoek the transfer process was seamless our guesthouse. We were picked up as scheduled on the first day of the safari and had a pleasant day drive to the Palmwag Lodge where two nights were spent prior to the start of the safari. The lodge is quite comfortable with great staff and tasty food. While at the lodge we visited the Save the Rhino Trust office location to learn more about their activities and history. The next six days were spent in the Palmwag Concession, in which the itinerary would be varied and could change depending upon what we encountered. We would occasionally walk, a few times we came across fresh tracks, would then track the Rhino, and were successful in locating the Rhinos. From a safe distance would observe this grand animal in its natural habitat. At other times during the day we would be on a game drive in the open air Toyota Land Cruiser. We came across, lions, elephants, springbok, zebra, oryx, giraffes, during our drives and walking experiences. The accommodation for six nights was camping - absolutely stellar - under the light of a full moon! For 4 of the nights we were completely alone, on the last couple of nights the campsite was more traditional with showers(!) and only a couple of other campers. The bedding provided was comfortable and it was easy to sleep. Breakfasts and lunches were straightforward and the dinners were always prepared over an open campfire and consisted of a variety of meats / game or chicken - always very delicious. The team that accompanied us on the journey was all great. This small group adventure was a memorable experience and Nature Travel Namibia did not disappoint!

Amazing safari
Lydia was very helpful and kind from the beginning.
She answered all my questions, helped wherever she could.
I could leave my big bag at her office while I went to Maasai Mara.
the drives were great and we got to see many animals, the big 4, as we didn't get to see the rhino, but noone has for the past 2 months :)
