Tony has to be the best tour guide because we still communicate 6 hours apart, 5 months later!
Like I was told by my French tour mates and what I know now, I got lucky and was blessed to go on Tony Mobile Safari. Honestly, I don’t know if I can go with another company.
I had never been a Safari before and didn’t know what to expect or prepare for. Communication with Tony through WhatsApp call gave me the opportunity to ask questions of things I need to bring. The time that I’m free to take vacations are around late May and June. Tony reminded me that in The Bush that time of year in Botswana it is the winter season, bring cold gear. A definite life saver because my Florida thin blood could not take early mornings without proper clothing.
Once the tour started, I never wanted it to stop. A 10-day tour to 3 different parks were magnificent. We saw a different animal every single day of the tour. 2nd day in the morning we saw a lion pride hunt of zebras ahead while the king walked right beside us. Tony and staff easily explaining all questions (i. e. “How do you know the difference between a male leopard and female leopard prints?”). The patience and eagle eye sight to find the animals and explain what they do and how they do it.
Our military style tents were spacious, firm, and The Bush showers and toilet was the best experience. A homemade hot shower around lunch was better than a locker room. The food made by chef Ronald for breakfast, lunch and dinner was delicious. Even the dessert that I normally try to take it easy on, had to be eaten because it was so good.
Again, listening to my other mates that had been on other Safaris expressed how lucky I was because Botswana has a plethora of animals and you don’t have to fight for position to see them because the country is not overcrowded with Industry companies. Starting each day seeing multiple giraffes, elephants, zebras and springbok was amazing. Then the awesomeness of seeing 2 lions eating a dead elephant, a family of pumba’s, hippos running on the river floor and a leopard that walked between our jeeps was all I could ask for.
Not only do I highly recommend Tony Mobile Safaris, I will be taking one again very soon.

Unforgettable gorilla trekking in Rwanda with an exceptional guide, Jackson!
We had an unforgettable experience gorilla trekking in Rwanda over four days, and Wagatil Safari helped make it truly special. A particular highlight was our guide, Jackson, who was absolutely marvellous. He was flexible, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to spend time with. He shared so much about Rwanda, its culture, and its people, making the drives and conversations just as enjoyable as the trekking itself. We had great conversations, learned a lot, and felt we were discovering the country through a local's perspective.
The gorilla encounters were incredible. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wagatil Safari to anyone planning a trip to Rwanda, and we could not have asked for a better guide than Jackson!

Excellent, dependable, and accommodating safari tour company
Meru Slopes gave us an amazing and unforgettable safari experience. From initial contact our dealings with expert coordinator, Gift Tempo were wonderful. Gift expertly and kindly answered our multitude of questions and continued to transform our private safari until it was exactly as we had envisioned. Gift Tempo even dealt superbly with a last minute change on the 9th day. Gift was extremely accommodating and continually making sure we had an awesome, memorable safari experience. Jacob was our remarkable tour guide and driver! Jacob drove the Safari jeep, spotted so many different animals, taught us about Tanzania and the wildlife, taught us some Swahili words and phrases, took extremely great care of us, and felt like a wonderful, close friend by the end of our safari! It was because of Jacob that we saw the Mara River crossing twice! We also saw the great migration (herds of wildebeest and zebras, sometimes passing right in front of our jeep.) Jacob showed us a lion kill and a leopard kill. We saw cheetahs, lots of lions, elephants, buffalos, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, and many different antelopes. Jacob also pointed out many rare birds and had a bird book with him to show us their names. We saw many other jeeps broken down, but never a Meru Slopes jeep. We stayed at the hotels, lodges, and tented camps that Meru Slopes recommended and we liked them all. It is so true that the company (Meru Slopes) and the people (Gift Tempo and Jacob) make or break your African Safari experience. We had the BEST (along with the other Meru Slopes employees that supported them.) We are recommending Meru Slopes Tours, Gift Tempo, and Jacob to everyone! Thank you for an amazing “Once-in-a-lifetime” safari experience!

Excellent, attentive, special!!
We traveled to Uganda in September. Wow! What a great experience! We were so well taken care of, from landing at the airport- special person met us and whisked us through customs, to collecting our luggage, and all of the accomodations were beautiful and comfortable. Vera even went on the gorilla trek with us! This trip was once in a lifetime memorable! I recommend Peaks & Safaris so highly!

Wonderful African safari thanks to Ken’s excellent communication, flexibility, and dedication
We had a wonderful experience with Ken (Tumwine) organizing our African safari.
From the beginning, Ken provided excellent communication and follow-up. He was always responsive on WhatsApp and willing to make adjustments to create the itinerary we wanted. Since this was a significant investment, we also asked for detailed information to verify the company before making our payment, and Ken provided everything we requested. The company was legitimate, certified, and everything promised was delivered.
Ken speaks many languages fluently: English, Spanish, German, besides his native languages, which made communication smooth.
The accommodations ranged from very good to truly incredible, and our guides and drivers helped us have some amazing experiences. Uganda and Kenya were particularly well organized and went perfectly.
We did encounter a few challenges along the way, especially in Tanzania. Some were stressful, and while there are certainly areas that could be improved, most issues were handled satisfactorily.
Overall, it was a wonderful safari, and we came home with incredible memories. Thank you, Ken, for your dedication and responsiveness throughout the trip.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Kenya and Tanzania
This was our first trip to Africa.
Since everything was completely new to us, we had a lot of worries and questions before the trip. However, Carla, the owner, was incredibly kind and patient. She took the time to answer all of our questions, no matter how many times we reached out, and always responded thoughtfully and thoroughly.
Our experience during the safari was absolutely wonderful. All of our guides were cheerful, friendly, and kind, and they made our trip even more special.
We were able to see almost all the animals we had dreamed of seeing, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and buffaloes.
The highlight of our trip was witnessing the wildebeest river crossing, something I had always dreamed of seeing. It was such an emotional and unforgettable experience, and I feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed it.
Thanks to everyone at Majestic Wins Adventures, our first trip to Africa was filled with wonderful memories. We had such an amazing time that we already can’t wait to come back.
I also heard that you organize Kilimanjaro climbing tours, so I would absolutely love to book my next adventure with you!
Thank you so much for everything!

The Trip of a Lifetime — An African Safari We Will Never Forget!
Our African safari was truly the trip of a lifetime! From the moment we began planning our adventure to the day we returned home, we felt incredibly well taken care of. This was so much more than a vacation — it was an unforgettable experience filled with incredible wildlife, beautiful places, wonderful people, and memories we will treasure forever.
A special thank-you to Maurice and his entire team for making everything so seamless from beginning to end. Communication before and during our trip was outstanding. Whether through email or WhatsApp, we always felt supported, informed, and confident that every detail was being taken care of. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, the transitions between destinations were smooth, and all our flights and transfers were perfectly coordinated. We could truly relax and enjoy every moment, knowing we were in such good hands.
Elerai Camp and Lerai Safari Camp were especially memorable parts of our journey. Both offered wonderful experiences, and what made them so special was not just the beautiful surroundings and accommodations, but the people who made us feel so welcome especially Morgan and team. The hospitality, delicious food, and attention to detail made our stays exceptional. There is something so special about arriving somewhere far from home and being made to feel completely comfortable, welcomed, and cared for. That is exactly how we felt at these camps.
We especially want to recognize Mark, our waiter, Faith from the spa and Chef Martin at Lerai Safari Camp, for the kindness and care they showed us. Those personal touches, the warm smiles, and the genuine effort to make our experience special meant so much to us. We would also like to give a heartfelt thank-you to the general manager, Sammy for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. The hospitality throughout our stay made us feel less like guests and more like family. It truly felt like a home away from home, and that is something we will always remember and appreciate.
Of course, the safari itself was beyond anything we could have imagined! The game drives were incredible, and seeing so much wildlife in its natural habitat was breathtaking. Every day brought new surprises and unforgettable moments. Our accommodations, meals, and experiences exceeded our expectations, and the beauty of Africa left us in awe.
We also cannot say enough wonderful things about Tony and Joseph, our amazing driver-guides. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, patience, and passion for wildlife made every game drive an adventure. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, always showing initiative and genuine care. Their ability to spot wildlife, share their knowledge, and make each outing exciting and meaningful made such a difference. They became such an important part of our journey, and we are so grateful to them both.
When we look back on this trip, it is the combination of everything that made it so extraordinary: the incredible wildlife, the thoughtfully planned itinerary, the beautiful camps, the outstanding communication from Maurice and his team, and, most importantly, the wonderful people who welcomed us along the way.
Thank you, Maurice, your team, and everyone at Elerai Camp and Lerai Safari Camp for making this such a personal and unforgettable experience. You made us feel cared for, welcomed, and at home, even thousands of miles away from home. We returned with full hearts, amazing memories, and an even greater appreciation for Africa.
We would recommend this safari without hesitation to anyone dreaming of an African adventure. It exceeded our expectations in every possible way, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
A truly unforgettable trip, made extraordinary by the people who made us feel like family. ❤️

Amazing and unique customizable tour with budget-friendly options.
We had an amazing time with Enjoyable Nature Safaris!
From the start, the communication with the company was great. Quick response time and very mindful. We wanted to book a tour which was offered for 8 days, but only 7 would fit our schedule. It was no problem to adjust the tour to this amount!
During the tour we wanted to go to the Olduvai Gorge. This was not included in the tour but a couple of phone calls and an hour later, our tickets were booked.
We opted for a more budget-friendly option. Tents, sleeping bags and mats were offered by the company.
A chef, Amasa, came with us during our safari. He cooked us breakfast, lunch and dinner. His meals were delicious. Fresh fruit, pancakes for breakfast and a lot of Tanzanian dishes were on the menu.
Elius was our driver and guide. Because of him I have amazing pictures of the wild animals on the Serengeti and in the Ngorongoro crater. He always found the perfect spot to look at the animals, without a lot of cars in front. He knew quite a lot about the animals and the environment they're living in. He's also a skilled driver, making the uneven roads seem like a walk in the park.
Overall, I really enjoyed this tour. I had so many unique experiences and I would definitely recommend this company!

Amazing tour in Chobe!
We had the best time on our 1 night tour of Chobe! Our guide Tsogo was amazing, very knowledgeable about the animals and took us on a great boat trip and drives. We saw so many animals! The campsite was run by some very nice people who worked very hard to ensure we had a great stay. Communication was great from the company. Would definitely recommend!!

Amazing experience- totally recommend!
We had a lovely safari trip with Loise Adventures. Elsa was very helpful and responsive to all our questions ensuring a seamless experience before, during and after our trip. The vehicle was clean and modern and the prices were competitive and value for money, with a variety of accommodation options. Our driver/ guide Francis was amazing and tried his best to make all our game drives epic and fun. Thank you Louise adventures for giving us the most memorable anniversary trip ever. Book with them, you will not be disappointed!
