This man saved our safari
After we were swindled by another tour operator Jakob stepped up and saved our safari for us. Even though this had to be arranged at the very last minute, everything was great! We had a fantastic five day safari with excellent car, driver, cook and lodging. All in all a very good experience and we recommend everyone to book their safari with Smile tours.

Just dubious, corrupt u. unorganized.
A good safari with a very good guide ..... But I can not understand why twice the accommodation is changed, I have to pay more and then get a lodge whose standard is lower than the other. Very bad organization and not even an apology. I will not recommend this organizer.

Vic Falls plus Linyanti, Khwai, & Sanctuary Stanley's safari camps in Botswana
For this trip we compared four different tour operators in order to find the best option for our interests and timeline, Giltedge provided the best package that matched all our needs. The overall experience was fantastic and just as advertised/communicated to us up front. Very impressed with the Giltedge team and their attention to detail, what was promised was delivered. All of the connections, transfers, accommodations, and activities occurred without any problems or delays.
A special thank you to our consultant Sandi Bird who did a marvelous job of packaging this trip to meet our cost, schedule, and destination requests. I would highly recommend Sandi and Giltedge, their efforts made our first trip to Africa a truly special experience.

Complete, adventurous and stunning trip
We visited Serengeti, Lake Manyara Nat park, Arusha Nat Park, Ngorongoro Tarangire Nat Park. Awesome trip. Complete and adventurous thanks to Christopher and his team.
We enjoyed camping out a lot which was an exciting experience especially to hear the sounds of the wild animals at night. Wonderful camp sites were chosen in the middle of the parks. They understand that privacy is key to the experience and we camped a few times with no company at all which we appreciated very much. It was such a privilege.Our guide and cook were really concerned about us, they were helpful and wanted us to feel at home during the trip. Delicious meals were served every day, in a “dining tent”. A real treat. We learned interesting stuff about nature and the animals thanks to our guide who patiently answered all our questions and who brought us safely from one park to another. We don’t know how he did it, but apparently he has a trained eye to spot animals. We saw so many species and it was exciting to see them in their natural habitat.
We highly recommend Christopher and his team for a safari in Tanzania. It was not my first time in Tanzania but it was the most memorable one especially thanks to their hospitality and their professionalism.

Dreamed trip and seamless thanks to TLSC!
We had a dreamed honeymoon thanks to Rose and TLSC. She was responsive and on top of everything from the very first minute. Her knwoledge and insights into the different countries helped us decide on the final destinations of our trip. We are thankful for all this! In addition to her insights and help, the "extras" she provides (phone app with all the needed info for the trip and discounts on clothing) are awesome too. Even when we had a slight issue in one of our destinations with the local agents, she solved it in minutes making it seamless for us. TLSC definitely provides luxury services and lives up to them!
We'll be definitely travelling with TLSC in the future. Huge shout-out to the team!

I had the most amazing trek with Migration Venture Africa
I am so grateful to Migration Venture Africa for taking care of me when I joined a group to trek up Kilimanjaro. I chose to go with Migration Venture because they had a small group going up with my dates and Amos was reasonable with the costs.
They took everything very seriously; regular health checks, weighing all the luggage even the one carried by the porters.
We had Vitalis as the head guide and he did a splendid job of guiding the group of strangers coming from different cultures to the summit.
He is an easygoing and wonderful guide and his experience around the mountain showed through the way he carried himself around without missing anything.
The climb was a beautiful experience seeing starting with the rainforest with beautiful waterfalls, monkeys. With each day the scenery changed as we got higher and higher and it was very educative to hear from Vitalis and his team.
I am really happy with the service and support that I received from Migration Venture Africa and I recommend them without any reservations

Absolutely Stellar!
Giltedge & African Travel Expert, Sandi Bird, surpassed ALL of our expectations! This was not a basic trip plan logistically, we had 4 small aircraft flights into bush camps, two commercial flights in and out of Maun, road transfers, greeters at Johansburg International to walk us through customs to get on another flight to Livingston, Zambezi river cruise, helicopter ride over Victoria Falls and all of this was done flawlessly! I mean not a minute delay, someone was always there to coordinate and greet us. The communication remained constant as all the bush flights are arranged the evening before. Sandi was extremly responsive during our booking process offering various suggestions and recommendations which all were an A+. This was our second Safari but our first with Giltedge and I would not hesitate to book with them and of course Sandi again! Sandi also recommended 2 different African Bush Camps as our tented camps (Linyanti and Khwai) and they were incredible-from the staff, guides, location and accommodations. They really made you feel special. We ended our trip at another of Sandi's recommendations, Stanley's Sanctuary, where you can have a real experience with two rescued elephants from culling operations. Very well worth it! I will be back Africa!

Fantastic experience
We took this trip for my daughter's 21st, with three generations of the family. The whole trip was wonderful, right from the first experience of making the booking with Patricia. Fred, our driver, was brilliant, very friendly and knowledgeable, even arranging a surprise birthday cake, and helpful with our older family members who were slower. Accommodation was all arranged for us, staff were brilliant, particularly at the Osero lodge. I highly recommend this company.

Professional Service - Prompt Response - Excellent Driver/Guide
Stella was a joy to work with - responded quickly - our driver, Maurice, was excellent. He brought us to a fabulous place for lunch and took care of us the entire day. We visited Sheldrick Orphanage, Karen Von Blixen Home, and Giraffe Manor. Highly recommend this wonderful tour company.
