Professional and well organised team that provided an excellent safari experience for us
Pre-trip - Diane from Discover Africa was our P.O.C. and she was extremely helpful as well as knowledgable. Providing us with alot of useful information since this was our first time engaging a company to help us plan a safari. She was also very prompt in her replies to any emails we sent.
Arrival - Was met by a representative upon exiting the plane and was accompanied through immigration (no special treatment just regular immigration procedure). He was there to ensure we met up with our driver. Our driver then brought us (upon request) to get a sim card before sending us to a smaller airport to await our departure to the game reserve. The lounge was comfortable and well stocked with snacks and drinks. There was ample sitting areas and well maintained rest rooms.
Our flight to the game reserve departed approx. 5-6hrs after we touched down in Joburg (this is due to the arrival time of our international flight from singapore), and we took a small 10 seater plane which made 3 stops (ours was the 3rd). Smooth flight with no issues
Stay at King's Camp - Met up with a driver from the King's Camp to take us to our accommodations. The rooms were very well done, with a large bed, an indoor and outdoor shower, his and hers sinks, a nice bathtub which was prepped every evening for a nice soak, and a good selection of complimentary alcohol (brandy, vodka, whiskey, gin, beer etc) in the room. The lodge had friendly staff and very experienced guide/drivers and trackers. We were quite fortunate to see the Big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Cape Buffalo) on our first drive. The remaining 2.5 days at the camp was very relaxing and comfortable with 2 game drives a day. Each game drive had a short tea break out in the bush. Meals were delicious but not too much African cuisine in the selection except for one night when we had a Boma. However, upon request, the Chef was kind enough to prepare some for us on our last night there.
Transfer to and stay at Leopard Hills camp - Had a comfortable drive to our next camp. around 2.5 hrs journey with a short bio break at a mall in one of the towns we passed. Driver was very considerate, making sure we were comfortable during the ride. The Leopard hills accommodation was very nice as well. with a huge balcony overlooking the bush. The amenities were similar to King's camp, but due to the location of the lodge, the restaurant outdoor seating had a nice view of a watering hole where you could sit and watch animals. Don't expect huge herds though. Game drives and meals were similar to the other lodge. We also had a Boma, and a few more options of game meat for other meals.
Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely engage Discover Africa again if we intend to explore other safari options

Amazing
"I had to organize my trip to Africa, and I planned to visit Tanzania as one of the destinations on my visit to Africa. I contacted some operators in Tanzania, and Serengeti Mystery was the first to respond to my request.
They were really good at communicating; they were always on time to respond to my questions, which gave me confidence in choosing them over other operators. Even when I landed in Tanzania, they were very fast to respond whenever we needed their assistance.
Accommodations that they selected for us were completely nice; we had no issues with the hotels and camps; nice food and clean rooms were always guaranteed.
The vehicle was in good condition; the seats were nice and comfortable, and the fridge was working so we had cold drinks throughout the safari.
All safari arrangements went smoothly, and I hope to return to Tanzania in the near future."

Dependable and Memorable Travels
From forming a good rapport to exploring all the available options, Bonfire, through Kibe, managed to customise a memorable birthday experience.
The attention to details and real time feedback made it easy to make decisions and facilitate payments.
Quite a hands-on team ready to assist and make the stay blissful.

In one sentence, next time i do a tour, I would like the same operator...
I loved how it was tailor made to suit my travel needs and could offer options that would work around my budget, but still give an amazing experience...

Mr. Monamatsi is someone you can trust. Moonstroll is legit.
We were well taken care of on Our 10 day safari. With an experienced guide, an excellent cook and a happy tent person we never had a to lift a finger except for holding on for dear life on the endless game trails and dirt roads in our landcruiser.
Food was good, the tent comfortable, the shower nice and hot, the toilet better than you may expect.
Botswana’s animals were the most healthy and numerous.
Victoria falls was amazing.
The safari was a wonderful adventure. Thank you Moonstroll.

Unforgettable Chimpanzee, Gorilla and Golden Monkey trekking
From the first contact inquiring about the trip to when we were dropped off at the airport, Golden Rwanda Safaris and our guide (Jean) did a perfect job of planning and executing everything in the trip with highest standard and enough flexibility to adjust the details based on our requests. Well done! I couldn't have asked for anything better than that!
Excellent knowledge about the places we visited, friendly and always on time.
We visited the Kruger national park and the Panorama route. We saw all the big five at Kruger and the Canyons at the Blyde were fantastic, the three rondavells and pothole were refreshing coupled with the exceptional knowledge from Bongan Safaris about both the Kruger national park and the panorama route. Accommodation at Bongani Safaris is up there with the best in the world, super was served at the boma and it was scrumptious. A repeat visit is definitely on the cards.

Extraordinary!!
From start to finish communication was on point! Brenda was quick to respond to all emails/questions and sent our proposals to us timely. The booking info was not confusing or difficult to work through and was seamless securing our itinerary. Safari with Kakasii was above and beyond!! His super fun energy, knowledge, and experience FAR surpassed all of our expectations, and dare I say far surpassed any other Safari driver out there!! We saw the big 5 and so much more!! He was engaged with us, he answered our questions to the fullest, he knows sooo much about the animals, he was educational explaining animal behavior, and his birding knowledge is unbelievable! My husband is a "bird nerd" so having Kakasii as our guide was an extra treat as he knew many of the birds my husband had never seen before. He put our safety first and made sure to caution us about amy potential danger. Our accommodations at Tarangire, Eileen's Trees, and the bush camp were amazing, very clean, great food, and super friendly staff; customer service is on point at all! I would say our entire experience was EPIC!!! The best and most unbelievable part is the cost for our experience was not outrageous and far below what we first thought we'd have to spend for the experience we wanted. We highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris to anyone looking to have a once in a lifetime trip! They truly are the one and only choice!!
