Safaring with Jimmy
We had an awesome tour with Jocky Tours and our brilliant guide, Jimmy. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, until the moment he dropped us back at our hotel, Jimmy was engaging, knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny, and respectful. He’s an excellent driver, and I always felt safe, even when driving fast through the park, on the chase for a new sighting. It was great value for money, and next time I’m back, I will make sure to have Jimmy as my guide again. 5/5.
Wilson has an incredible ability to spot birds and animals hidden in trees or hiding on the savannah
The experience was life changing. Wilson Lucas found birds and animals we feared we wouldn't get to see. Even when he pointed to where the animal was, we often couldn't see it until he brought us much closer. It's like he has telescopic vision. And his knowledge of the animals was encyclopedic, making the adventure all the more interesting. We will be asking for him by name on our next safari!

Efficient, caring and very good at the job!
We wanted to travel to South Africa to go on safari but had a very limited time frame and window of opportunity. After going online to see what was available, we contacted African Welcome Safaris to enquire what could be arranged. All I can say is...what wonderful service. Every enquiry was answered efficiently, competently and with a friendliness that welcomed you to ask questions no matter how silly they appeared . They worked around our schedule and times and found us the most fabulous safari that we could ever ask for. I cannot recommend this company highly enough, Kathi was a dream to deal with and I will recommend them to all our friends and family . We had the most amazing time and we had 2 teenage boys with us that loved every minute of the experience. Thank you!

Fantastic
From pickup to drop off, our tour guide was fantastic. He was so informative throughout our week together and had everything planned. He spent most spare time confirming plans, reservations and ensuring we received all aspects of the itinerary and experiences. We not only enjoyed all the planned activities and sights, but the guide gave us a history lesson and background information during transfers, driving through towns and regions and on all aspects of South Africa. He would make a great history teacher and newspaper editor.
Will be going back and ensuring we travel with Wildlife Safaris with Simon Taylor as our guide.

Glorious
Tanzania was an amazing experience. We were in Dar, Arusha, and Stone town with a safari to the Serengeti and it was simply incredible!
I would advise researching your safari quite a bit - we opted for Soul of Tanzania and it was not our favorite.

Great recommendations and service for a once in a lifetime trip
Chloe did an incredible job of assisting us with our itinerary - everything went as planned. We had an amazing experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. We loved the lodges where we stayed and had super knowledgeable guides on safari.
I would highly recommend Chloe and team.
Thank you!

Me and my friends took a trip to Murchison Falls National park with Big Apes Africa. All the Big 5(Rhinos, Elephant, Buffalo, Lion & Leopard) were spotted by the end of second day.
The trip was perfectly arranged and our Safari guide Eric did a great job!

Amazing trip with an exceptional Tour guide (Brian)!
My 5 day Gorilla and Chimp trekking trip with Kajie Safaris was excellent and very smooth. My tour guide Brian was constantly making sure I had everything I needed to have a great trip. He really went above and beyond anything I expected! It was just me and the guide and we spent many hours together in the van learning about Uganda and the history of the 5 kingdoms. He always knew where we were going, the best roads to take and seemed to know all of the park rangers and staff everywhere. I highly recommend Brian as your guide!
The only potential drawback on the whole trip, would be to confirm the vehicle you are travelling. While my trip was just me, the van we travelled worked great. However, if you are in a group (most likely) for safari comfort and visibility to the wildlife I suggest confirming the vehicle type.
On my trip I spent two nights at the Bweza Gorilla Lodge: highly recommend, very intimate location (only 6 rooms), very friendly staff, and excellent food. Not much of a bar selection, so maybe bring your own alcohol if interested. For QEP, I stayed at the Elephant HAB Lodge for 2 nights. Also, very comfortable, nice views, good pool (although with all the adventures, not really much time to swim).
Overall, I had a great experience dealing with Kajie Safaris. Ronald was very quick to respond to questions and modifying trip details as necessary. Definitely recommend using them to book your trip, but do be proactive about reaching out for any details as the trip date approaches.
