The beauty of Chobe National Park was revealed thanks to the perfectly organized day trip.
I must day that the day was very well organized. We were picked from our hotel at 7 am in the morning and after a short drive to pick up a couple of other travellers we were on the way to Botswana. Even on the way to the border we saw Elephants, Warthogs, and African Wild Dogs.
After a 50 minute drive we reached the border where our guide helped us to quickly get out of Zimbabwe and enter Botswana. It did not take more than 10 minutes.
On the Botswana our local guide for the day was waiting for us. We boarded the 4x4 vehicle and went to the Chobe National Park. On the way under a nice shade we had a cup of tea/coffee and some delicious cake.
The drive in the park was wonderful. We saw many animals, including Hippos, Elephants, Giraffes, Antelope, and as many birds as you could imagine. We encountered a very large herd of Elephants that crossed the road just in front of our car.
At noon our guide took us for lunch to a Chobe Safari Lodge. The food was delicious and although there were many people there the service was very fast. You should try their wonderful sorbet.
After lunch from the dock of the lodge we went with a boat on the Chobe river. In the morning we thought that from the car we were close to the animals, but from the boat we had even closer encounters opportunities.
At 5 pm we were taken to the border, where our guide from the morning was waiting to bring us back to the hotel.
We had a wonderful day and we were able to enjoy the beautiful Chobe National Part thanks to the excellently organized trip.

Reliable and knowledgeable personnel. They know landmarks of Kenya which is interesting to visit
From the moment you book with African breeze they keep communicating with you. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable they keep you engaged by explaining step by step when on safari. You feel appreciated. I will book them again. I recommend this tour company

Amazing 3day Safari Safari
We chose ACZsafaris among several companies we had contacted and they never let us down. Joshua replied all our emails on time and perfectly, John was a perfect driver guide who managed to show us all the big5 including the elusive black rhino. Our unforgettable moment was when we witnessed a pride of lions successfully hunt a buffalo. I would however recommend a private safari instead of group joining package. We hope to come back soon for the migration. Thank you team ACZsafaris.

Fantastic holiday, excellent service from Wayfairer
I used Wayfairer to book a 2 week self-drive holiday in Namibia. We are UK citizens living in South Africa currently and when I started looking at accommodation and travel options for Namibia realised fairly quickly that, as we wanted to visit a number of destinations (8 over 2 weeks), it would be better to use an agent, so I contacted a number of tours companies via the Safari Bookings website. Most companies responded with generic offerings. Wayfairer were the only company that contacted me to ask questions about the type of holiday and experience we were looking for and after some initial email contact, arranged for one of their agents to call me so we could discuss further. We explored some options and in a fairly short time they had come back to me with a truly tailor-made itinerary, based on our personal preferences. Although they are a UK-based firm, they use a local agent in Namibia (ATI) who were also excellent.
We kept in regular contact from booking to the trip itself and they assisted with lots of queries and additional services like restaurant bookings.
The trip itself was a fantastic experience. We were provided with everything we needed on arrival, from airport collection, to having our hire vehicle delivered to our B&B, a personalised map and itinerary and helpful extras like a cooler box and ice-packs for our long road trips and a pre-paid cell phone, programmed with the numbers of all the places we were staying.
All of the accommodation was superb and the whole trip was smooth sailing. Namibia is truly an amazing country and I wouldn't hesitate to use Wayfairer again.

Quote was different with the actual service
The quotation says free bottled mineral water but I did not receive any bottled water during meals and on game drives. Also, it says there will be a hotel pick up and drop-off which didn't happen as well. When I booked, I already mentioned the hotel that I am staying and Peter said he will pick me up. The night before the safari, he emailed and said he can't pick me up because my hotel is far which is unfair because when I reserved a slot, I already mentioned the hotel name. He should have told me when I reserved that he can't pick me. Lastly, they are using a van so it's 3-2-3, a total of eight plus a seat beside the driver which make it really cramped. I noticed the other groups have 2-2-2 plus one beside the driver which make it an ideal set-up.

Everything as expected
Great, fast communication. We started quoting for safari just 2 weeks before the safari and there were no problems. Despite low season there were many animals (lucky especially with lions and cheetahs).
We were a little bit dissapointed with food at Rhino camp but it is not the fault of the tour operator. Everything was as in itinerary.

All according to expectations and as agreed.
We arranged a personalized safari which was all that we expected and more. The places recommended by the agency were fantastic. We did not encounter any problems with what was promised and all went according to plan. We even saw a place which was not in their recommended list but they still arranged to book it for us without hesitation. Again, all was as promised.
Newton was our contact at Bateleur Eagle Safaris and he always answered promptly to our questions. There were some minor changes to the timing of our flights booked with Bateleur Eagle Safaris and we were informed immediately.
The safari itself was an incredible experience that I would definitely recommend this tour operator!

Reliable, friendly, knowledgable and accommodating
We used Vacay for day trip experiences in and around Nairobi. We had a big group and Vacay catered for all needs. Having David on board added an extra level of professionalism, confidence and reassurance. When our plans changed, Vacay was flexible, all questions were answered in a knowledgable way, advice freely given and I can honesty say their support added a great deal to our visit in Nairobi. Thank you.
