AMAZING!!
I went on a 5 day safari and it was an incredible experience!! Everything was very well organized and exceeded my expectations. Responses to emails were quick and everything was carefully planned out so that once I was there I didn’t have to worry about anything. Everyone was super friendly and more than happy to answer any questions that I had. They really went above and beyond to make sure I had a good time! My experience with Wakanda tours and safaris was so amazing that I already want to go back to Tanzania and do it again!! I highly recommend!!

Awesome experience!
I have always dreamed of visiting Africa and seeing the animals on safari. Booking our safari thru Soul of Tanzania was the best decision! Helena was our planner and was super helpful and patient with our many, many questions and emails during planning and everyone was very professional. The trucks and facilities were great and our private driver, Emmanuel, was fantastic! He has a vast knowledge of the animals and the parks, and went out of his way to make sure we saw everything. Tarangire is a must-visit on this once in a lifetime trip!

Fantastic Outcome
We began on African Adventure with a safari in three national parks in Tanzania. Chris and Safari Partners had booked us at three Asilia Africa camps, Little Oliver's, Highlands Ngorongoro and Dunia. All were outstanding in every respect--accommodations, food, staff, and game drives. We then went on to Victoria Falls and Cape town. All travel arrangements were booked through Chris. No disappointments anywhere. The local operators that Chris chose ensured that everything went like clockwork. An entirely stress-free holiday. Leading up to the holiday, I had many questions. Chris was extremely responsive and knowledgeable, often responding within minutes of my e mails. In the end, the outcome is all that matters. I am an experienced traveller. The outcome was an adventure that was the travel highlight of my life. Thank you Chris. I will be sending other people your way!

Great safari to Masai Mara
I was quite confused about the array of safaris available to the Masai Mara. John answered my numerous questions, and the price compared favourably with other group safaris, so I chose CKC Tours. I joined a 3-day group safari in May.
Our driver, Kikitu, was always cheerful and nice and great at finding wildlife, and generally informing us about the wildlife, history of the places we travelled through etc.
The Masai Mara National Reserve is beautiful. We saw the Big Five all before 10 a.m. on the first full day there! And then many more animals. It's a long and bumpy journey from Nairobi, but well worth it. And the sunrise makes it worthwhile getting up early!

Excellent and knowledgeable service taylormade to your requirements
Our safari in Zambia met with all of our expectations. The camps selected for us were very comfortable, friendly and enjoyable and all brought their own unique flavour to ensure that we had an excellent time. The service provided by Rose and the team at the Luxury Safari Company could not have been better.

The Best Wonderful Safari Experience
Trip was amazing. Everything went as advertised, pick-ups from Nairobi and hotels were on time, hotel was fantastic, and service was excellent. Game viewing was also amazing thanks to Paul, who knew all the trails from the back of his hand. Newton from the office was wonderful as well, quick to respond and gave us detailed explanations for all we enquired about.
Overall, fantastic experience and will definitely be using Bateleur Eagle Safaris for future bookings.

Great company, great guide, great experience.
Everything was organized very well - the accommodation, food, guiding and vehicles.
Shaheen is a great guy and a great organizer - and can accommodate all requests, really. I did an extended safari, with two extra days of a private tour. Safari cars they are using are proper, open, elevated trucks so you can expect good views all around. Our guide, Arun, was also a good guy, really trying to get the most of each drive, looking for all the animals - especially the elusive cats.
All in all, we've managed to see the Big 5 and a lot more besides, visiting 3 camps over 7 days. I also did a great extension trip via the Panorama Route on my way back to Joburg. Also recommended!

Indescribably life altering experience
Lessia, the organizer, was researched, efficient, thorough and thoughtful and very in tune with our expectations and needs for the nine day safari. Communication was immediate, service was exemplary, the safari exceeded our expectations and the tour was AMAAAAAAZING!!!! Our guide Dickson is a rock star! He was so knowledgeable about the animals and their behaviours, the insects, the birds, the plants/trees. He combined facts with anecdotes and real stories which we found entertaining and interesting. Dickson is so passionate about his work and his job; he takes his role of guide and driver very seriously and professionally! He was respectful, engaged, prompt, protective of us all and super friendly. He made the safari even more memorable!!!!!

Not enough good words to describe it!
We just returned from a 7 day safari planned with Etrip Africa and I could not have been happier with every aspect! From the beginning, Ben and Aurelie did a very thorough job of planning. The reasons I finally decided to book with them was because of the promptness of responses, details of cost breakdown, and route/accomodation choices. There is always apprehension upon finalizing your choice because there are so many options, but I would use them 10/10 times again.
Upon arrival into JRO, we were promptly picked up by our guide Viktor (even tho flight was delayed from Kigali by four hours) and taken to our first hotel. Ben met us at our first stop to meet us and deliver our printed itinerary for the week (very nice touch).
I cannot say enough good things about Viktor either. He was so knowledgeable, patient and a true friend by the end of the trip. If given the chance to request a guide, I would highly recommend asking for him by name. Just an example of how attentive he is- I requested that my water be put in the fridge after a hot day in the Serengeti...since it would take awhile to chill, Viktor stopped every other guide he knew until he found me a cold water. One other time, my hat flew off as we were in a hurry to make it to a lion kill. To keep from missing the action, I said forget about it. Five minutes later, another vehicle pulled up and delivered my hat to me. He doesn't let ANY detail go unnoticed. You could tell he is very respected by other guides and a smile never left his face the entire time we were with him.
We realized very quickly that our route was the perfect combination for us. We started with a day at Lake Manyara, next few nights in Serengeti, night at the Crater, and final night at Tarangire. Our accommodations got better and better as we went along and ended with the most luxurious of all (Lemala Mpingo). We all appreciated different aspects of every park and each of us had a different favorite. I would highly recommend every one of them. We spotted the Big Five, lions mating, tons of chases, and so many animals we couldn't count. I'm so glad that we trusted the recommendations that we were given.
Overall, please do not hesitate to use ETrip. You will be nothing but pleased with the communication, service, vehicles, guides and accommodations. We almost never repeat vacations because there is so much world to see....but I am already trying to find dates to return!
