The Perfect Honeymoon
I can't thank Wayfairer enough for helping to plan the perfect honeymoon. They provided excellent advice about the best location for my honeymoon and the best time to visit. We settled on the Selous Game Reserve and they listened to all my feedback to create the perfect itinerary that combined safari, beach and relaxation. I'd never booked through a company like this before so I was concerned that something would go wrong. Someone would miss a transfer or not be there when they were supposed to be, but all my worries quickly melted away and the whole trip went smoothly. I would definitely book with Wayfairer again and I especially love their philosophy of responsible travel and working with companies that pay and treat their employees fairly. I think it showed in all the people we met on our trip. A++

Needing information
On the recommendation of one of our parties family member (who had been on safari with KWSS Ltd last year) we booked to go on a Safari in Sept 2019. We just received an email stating it is cancelled due to technical difficulties. Now we can not view terms and Conditions.
I cannot claim on insurance if firm defaults or is in financial difficulties. We have lost a considerable amount of money, have no holiday, have had to cancel flights( getting only a small refund which did not cover costs)
Now need to know how to go about getting money back from KWSS.
Could only choose one star in review would like to have given none!!

Exceptional Safari Experience
I am very grateful for Kephar for being the most amazing guide and driver. He brought us the best of luck -- we saw 5 cheetahs, six lions in total (and saw one dragging and eating a wildebeest), TWO rhinos with one quite close-up, multiple elephants, many buffalos with two very very close, and two incidences of leopards. So many people at the lodge were saying we were very lucky!
What made the trip really special was Kephar's incredible knowledge, very impressive driving, and the unique instinct for the animals' presence. He was also flexible and quickly drove around to get closer to animals. Truly exceptional service!
I don't have a DSLR nor any attachments to complement my smartphone, but I still got some great photos thanks to the great close views and definitely #NoFilter !
Just to add, we were just two girls alone on this Safari and before our trip many people expressed their concerns about safety, but the worries were totally unnecessary with Mufasa Tours and Travels. It was 100% safe, and I had no worries during the trip (Hakuna Matata)!
This was my 2nd Safari experience and this one more than the other left an impression that will last forever.
Highly highly recommend Mufasa Tours and Travels!

Good Earth Tours and Safari MADE our trip the Best EVER!!
There are NOT enough Good words to say about Good Earth! From our first phone call (Baraka), the excellent, immediate follow up to the Incredible, Beautiful, comfortable lodges with Great food and last, but not least, our Wonderful Guide, Gerald L! We know there is a ton of planning behind the scenes and we were very thankful but being with Gerald, every day, just MADE our trip what it was. His expertise on everything was over the top from every animal, bird, history of the crater, the serengeti and just all of Africa and he Enjoyed teaching us! Gerald's happy and sincere personality made us look forward to each and every day! Their "trucks" were very comfortable and Gerald made sure WE were comfortable and noticed everything we liked to eat and drink so he surprised us daily. On our return, we would not use anyone but Good Earth Tours and we are so grateful for the memories we will have the rest of our days, thanks to Gerald and the entire company!

Special & Spectacular
Canoeing down the Zambezi with Natureways was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were treated royally the whole time, but were able to engage in long, thought-provoking conversations. Our guides Marc & Manu knew the Mana Pools like the backs of their hands. They knew it so well I wondered if they could canoe down it blindfolded. They spotted innumerable wildlife we wouldn't have seen on our own. When we arrived at camp, it was set up spectacularly and we seamlessly transferred into full relaxation. I highly recommend Natureways for a unique and spectacular safari experience.

What else can I add?
Everything that has already been said is too true. I too have been scammed by this company. I've lost $2,000 which was 1/2 of my original deposit. I did receive 1/2 of my money back, but it took 10 months and what seemed like hundreds of emails. Unfortunately for the latest victims of Mr. OT, I don't think you will see your refunds. I booked my trip based on the positive reviews on this site and Tripadvisor. This is unfortunate for the honest tour operators.

This is a fantastic company!!! We loved Kakasi and Leslie - they are the VERY BEST & knowledgeable.
The entire safari was magical and fantastic. I was part of the Southwood Lutheran Church group and we were so blessed to have wonderful and caring drivers and the accommodations were wonderful. Leslie knew all the right places and also had so many references with him that he would use to show us pictures. He was also so caring for all of us, especially me, one of the Bibi's in the group!! I will be sure to recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris to anyone that is planning a trip. I hope to come back again some day.

Clear communication, great experience and very affordable
We opted for a 4 day/3 nights budget camping package as a family trip; my father, mother and I. Seven Wonders Safari was very communicative and made the whole booking experience a breeze.
Our guide was Jose, a calm and collected individual with a commanding knowledge of the animals and the terrain. Our cook in Kalvin made sure we were well fed with delicious and hearty meals.
We were able to see the Big 5! We rode around 6 or 7 hours a day out in the wild. Watching the animals living unimpeded in their natural habitat was the clear cut highlight of the trip.
The campsites were unfenced and inside the national park. We had some buffaloes visit us at night. The restrooms and shower areas were relatively clean. Watching the sunset and sunrise in the campsite was a very special experience.
We wouldn't hesitate to book a trip with them again.

Excellent
Without doubt it was the best tour I did in Botswana. The guide is great, they are super punctual, the tour was great, pleasant, all very well organized. Without a doubt, would do it again with this agency and recommend it to everyone. Whenever I am in Maun this will be the travel agency of my choice. Recommended A ++++++
