First class personal service
When we decided to visit Namibia we started reading up on tour operators and Blue Crane Safaris had such good reviews we decided to email them with an idea of where we wanted to go/see/do and asked if they could provide an itinerary. Derek Jacobs the owner replied very quickly and that was the start of a 10 month communication when we decided to book a self drive tour with them. Nothing was too much trouble and any emails were replied to promptly.
When we arrived in Windhoek we were picked up by a company representative and taken to their offices to pick up our car and go over the itinerary. Jamie did the handover which was very in-depth and she gave us all the relevant information we needed as well as a WhatsApp contact number. Some of the accommodation on tour was suggested by Blue Crane and some we chose ourselves, it was a good mix.
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday it couldn’t have been better, everything went like clockwork thanks to Blue Crane. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better to we were upgraded to the Bush Camp at Okonjima on our last three nights which was a fantastic surprise, it was amazing.
The personal service the Blue Crane Safaris team provide is second to none and we highly recommend them.

The tour guide is really bad
We did not have a good experience with Karibu Safaris In Kenya since our tour guide Edward was really bad and not engaged at all. He did not communicate anything to us about anything during the transportation. And during the safari he did not tell us anything about any animal or anything. We had to find all the animals ourselves and when we asked him to stop so that we could take photos of the animals we noticed he got annoyed all the time. We expected more from a guide, basically he was just a driver who could not communicate and he slept in the car every chance he got, not professional at all.

A fantastic experience that fully met our expectations!
Destiny Explorers provided us with an amazing experience on our 6-day (5-night) safari to Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. The guide is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to show you everything, with a few extra surprises along the way. We highly recommend Destiny Explorers!

Wonderful trip
We have just arrived home after a month in Kenya. We are so pleased we added Kenya as it was without doubt the best for wildlife in all the places we have visited. We flew to Nairobi, went to Lake Naivasha, the Lake Nakuru. Masai Mara, Amboseli. It was fabulous and made more special by our guide Jay, a Masai Mara warrior who just knew how to spot an animal from great distances. Just amazing, we saw double of everything except the Leopard which was just bad luck and timing.
I highly recommend Osnet Tours and travels .They are the best in terms of prices and Geofrey was such an amazing soul!!!he made sure that everything was in order throughout our safari.

Dream come true
My Dad once said when he was younger he dreamed of going on safari. At age 78 he probably thought it was beyond him. The two of us ended up taking a trip of a lifetime, one we'll never forget and one I'll cherish always. Brilliant Adventures were amazing. Communication from the beginning, checking in throughout and everything in between was perfect. Our guide Boni was excellent, how he manages that drive over the many many years of experience is beyond me. The trip totally exceeded expectations. No amount of research, documentaries, or reading comes even close to the experience itself. Simply breath taking, or should I say Brilliant.

Wonderful Experienced Caring Guides and Staff provided an amazing Safari adventure
This was my first trip to Botswana for work and I extended my time so i could take a Safari. Xaa Safaris came highly recommended. I was a woman traveling by myself so safety and attentive staff were important along with seeing the natural beauty of the landscape and of course seeing the animals up close in the wild was an awe inspiring experience. The Guides were first rate and it was a source of pride to them make sure I saw and experienced as much as possible. The chef did an outstanding job of preparing delicious meals with a simple camping setup. I was so impressed by each member. The memories they helped to create are embedded in my mind and heart forever. I would highly recommend Xaa Safaris

Unforgettable Safari and Cultural Experience in Tanzania**
I recently spent five incredible days with my husband on a game drive in Tanzania, exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. I was thrilled to see the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo), and witnessing lions feeding on their prey and a lioness nursing her cubs up close was simply unforgettable. Each park had a unique atmosphere—Tarangire’s ancient baobabs, the endless plains of Serengeti, the dramatic landscape of Ngorongoro Crater, and the lush surroundings of Lake Manyara all offered distinct and beautiful experiences.
Our driver-guide was highly professional and knowledgeable, providing detailed explanations about the animals and their behaviors, which made the game drives even more enriching. The lodges we stayed at were welcoming, with delicious meals and friendly staff. The transfers to and from the airport were smooth, making the entire trip hassle-free.
After the safari, I visited Moshi. I enjoyed dining at an outdoor restaurant, drinking local beer, and soaking in the vibrant local vibe. The next day, instead of visiting Materuni Waterfalls, I explored the local market in Moshi and bought clothes made from colorful Kitenge fabric. Having the guide accompany me made the shopping experience comfortable and fun.
We then went to Chemka Hot Springs, where we swam and enjoyed a barbecue outdoors—it was the perfect way to relax. I wished I had more time to stay!
Overall, my time in Tanzania was absolutely amazing, and I’m grateful for such a wonderful experience!
Thank you Adventure in Tanzania!!
