Responsive and honest.
Brian and his team were most helpful in both planning and executing my short visit to Victoria Falls. I missed my flight connection on the first day and Brian was able to rearrange the planned schedule at the last minute. He was empathetic and understood these things happen and he happily took on contacting my hotel to ensure they didn't cancel my reservation due to a no show. We were able to stay connected in WhatsApp which was very helpful as I had no SIM connection on arrival in Ethiopia

Martin Smith is knowledgeable, responsive, & takes a personal interest in each tour he plans.
This was a first time, bucket list safari for me. I fortunately received a recommendation for Mr. Martin Smith from a co-worker. He immediately responded to my initial email. He asked what my goals/desires were in terms of the trip. He continued to respond -almost immediately- to each question I had.
The Safari exceeded my expectations. I traveled to Botswana at his recommendation. I could not have been more pleased!!
I started with two nights at Victoria Falls and stayed in the Victoria Falls Hotel. Truly, I unexpectedly felt like royalty, with a private check in and fabulous room with a great view.
My first Safari camp, Linyanti Concessions, provided herds of wild animals to see and enjoy in their natural surroundings. Next was Khwai Lediba and last was Vumbura Plains. Each provided a unique experience and each increased in luxury. Keep in mind that I’m not a “luxury “ person, but it was a very nice surprise!!
EVERY transfer, every detail was flawless and seamless!!! I never had to think or worry about anything!!!
I overwhelmingly recommend Kingfisher Safaris and Mr. Martin Smith!!!!!

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.
