Amazing Safari with Great Guide and Excellent Service!
It was our first trip to Africa. We decided to choose travel agency Walking Stick based on internet review and it was a really good decision. Our guide, Philimon, is the best guide I have ever met. He is a high professional with deep understanding of nature, animals, people and history as well. We spent together with him and his team 6 days in National Park Moremi and Game Reserve Khwai. We slept in tents in campsites so animals were all around us. Philimon did the best to see maximum of animals during our safari (we saw leopards, lions crossing the river early in the morning (5am)!!!, wild dogs eating antilope, lions preparing for buffalo chase, rhinos and of course lot of other animals as elephants, hipos, anitlopes, monkeys, zebras…). Night safari was also unforgettable experience. Joe, a chef, prepared us every day delicious meal with soup, meat, boiled and fresh vegetable. And imagine! - Fresh bread and cake baked on the fire. Joe is a real magician.
I hope that I will return to Botswana again. I definitely will go with Philimon and his travel agency again! Philimon – Thank you.

We were well cared for and the safari experience was top notch.
We enjoyed our tour of Capetown and surrounds and our trip to Cape Hope. The transfers all went smoothly and we thought the safari camp was great. The Victoria falls were stunning and well worth the visit.

Great Halal Safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar
We are a family of 5 from Canada and went a 4 day safari to Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania mainland and 3 days in Zanzibar with Wild Secrets Safaris a local tour operator that offers Halal packages that follow Islamic guidelines. I contacted Musa the director who shared various safaris options on offer and after discussing with my husband and kids we chose to do 4 days in the mainland and 3 days in Zanzibar.
Our connecting flight from Dubai arrived quite late in the night and got a representative from Wild Secrets at the airport who took us to Mt Meru Hotel in Arusha. It was nice that Musa had arranged for a late dinner as we were quite ravenous! The Safari tour took us to Ngorongoro Crater which was about 3 hour drive in a Toyota Land cruiser Hardtop from south of Arusha. This park was fantastic and is filled lions, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, flamingos, baboons, rhinos. There was so much to see that the day passed very fast and we went to the lovely Oldeani Mountain Lodge where we had dinner and spent our night. After breakfast we were driven to Serengeti National Park through Ndutu and in there lay a wonderful spectacle of thousands of wildebeest, mixed with antelopes and zebras with their young calves. We had 2 amazing days in Serengeti, before flying out Zanzibar from Seronera. In Zanzibar we were booked at La Verde hotel enjoyed 3 fun days of relaxation.
Wild Secrets organized a great itinerary and my family is very grateful. I recommend them highly.

Brilliant experience of Safari and reliable staff
I was quite worried about the Safari tour as I travelled alone from Asia and fortunately hyrax Safari and the staff, Roselyne did provide lots of help and gave me a really cool tour experience. As my schedule in Kenya is packed, Roselyne did adjust and plan a safari tour for me and email the details to me at the first minute. She also kept contact with me and take care of the follow up stuff, like check the payment, the pick up and the condition of campsite. I had lots of questions, um quite annoying hhh but she still reply me with patient. The staff who responsible for pickup also been on time and encourage me feel free to ask questions and know more about Kenya even Africa. The Safari driver is also with that knowledge and the sense of humour is wow.

Our experience: professional, candid & direct guidance, responsive, knowledgeable, trusted advisor
When we were planning our trip to South Africa, we started doing so in a "do it yourself" fashion and soon discovered we were over our head with the task. We needed help and we were directed to Ute Sonnenberg at Roho Ya Chui. After a few emails and calls with her, we knew we had a trusted advisor we could depend upon, not only to attend to helping us create an itinerary but navigate with us the many choices and issues one faces today while traveling to South Africa from the USA. We especially liked her candor and direct advice. At times, we had notions about what we should or shouldn't do and Ute was quick to help us sort them out. We spent 3 weeks in South Africa and all during our travels, my wife and I kept saying to one another "we are glad we had Ute helping us". The lodging she suggested and safari we took were exactly what we had hoped for. The tools Roho Ya Chui provided (app, trip voucher, mobile friendly travel plan) were professional and helpful. Ute's advice on all matters associated with our trip was spot on. We highly recommend Roho Ya Chui and Ute

A great Ugandan experience
My partner and I had a wonderful time with Gatatu Safaris. Richard was very helpful from the start and does a lot for the Ugandan community in his own time.
We felt very safe at all times and enjoyed travelling around Uganda. Our guide Jasper was helpful and made our 8 nights great.
All accommodation was fantastic and we felt very looked after.
Thanks Gatatu Safaris for a great time

Fun and Adventure in Uganda
Our guide Herbert made all the difference during our 3 days safaris in Uganda. He picked my colleague and I from our hotel in Kampala after our breakfast Fort Portal Mpanga Tea Estate where we spent the day hiking to the Fort Portal Crater Lake. We spent our night at the rustic Kibale Forest camp where the following day had another wonderful day trekking in Kibale forest after Chimpanzees in the morning. Later in the afternoon we drove towards Queen Elizabeth Park. This Park has many different species of animals and we even had a boat ride in the channel full of hippos!
All through the trip, Herbert was patient, careful and attentive to all our needs. The company had made good arrangements so that we were not rushed through and had ample time to savour the beautiful surroundings before heading back to our hotel in Kigali to wrap up our assignment.
