Memorable Vacation Africa - the perfect choice for an unforgettable experience!
I had an incredible hiking experience with Memorable Vacation Africa on Mount Meru.
The trail was absolutely stunning, and our guide shared fascinating insights about every plant along the way. The ranger went above and beyond, taking us on extra scenic routes so we could experience more of the wildlife and nature.
Despite the limited resources, the meals at the huts were always a delicious three-course meal with plenty of variety. It was truly a wonderful experience and I’m incredibly grateful to Memorable Vacation Africa for making it all possible.
I would absolutely book another hike or safari with them and highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Savannah has been the instrument for an incredibile experience in Safari tour in Tanzania.
Organizing a safari is a very hard job. Big parks, difficult roads in savana, long trips and continuous search for animals. Savannah organized everything perfectly, but 50% of the trip Is the guide you have. Geoffrey for has been an incredibile guide, patient, passionate, curious and prepared. He teached us a lot showing how much he love what he does. Parks are too big to be visited well so you can't stop too much to watch for an animal if you want to continue the trip, so a part of the trip is also luck because you can see a Little part of the park in the time you have, in our case this little part has been beautiful. In the end, we think sleeping inside Serengeti in a tent Is an experience that must be done at least once in a Life, incredibile sensations of being discrete guests in animal's house

Private safari with reliable and professional guide
We booked a private safari Tour (6-Day The Ultimate Southern Escape) with Destiny Explorers starting and ending from Dar es Salaam.
We visited 3 National Parks: Nyerere, Mikumi and Ruaha. All transfers and game drives took place in the same vehicle: a Toyota Land Cruiser. The tour was customizable, for Ruaha NP we asked in advance to switch to another lodge which worked out perfect for us.
Our trip was at the beginning of December, meaning less activity at the lodges and at the game drives overall. Despite beginning of rain season, we saw a huge amount of animals, including 4/5 big five!
Our driver Gilbert did an amazing job, despite long travel hours and harsh conditions on the road. During the Game Drives, he was very knowledgeable and flexible to accomodate to our needs. Communications were no problem with Gilbert, he was very reliable to the agreed planning. No rushing and always in a good mood!
All lunch boxes provided during the tour had a large selection of good food, we haven’t encountered any problems with the lodges during the tour.
The only drawback could be the long travel hours spent in the transfers, especially from Ruaha back (+12H), which we were not completely aware of. Maybe we would have considered taking a plane back for the last transfer to enjoy more of Ruaha National Park and of the Lodge for an additional Morning/Day Game drive, since we had to depart early before sunrise!
Overall we can fully recommend Gilbert and Destiny Explorers for this tour and would happily do it again!

Kind, knowledgabe and patient
We spent an amazing few days with Rocky and Tebby in Chobe, it was a brilliant way to see the animals and learn about the country and we had a lot of fun. Lunch was home made and delicious. Nothing was too much trouble.

Helpful and efficient
Ryan from untamedsafaris.com.au has been very helpful and easy to work with during the organisation and even during the trip itself.
The trip was amazing, Kenya and Tanzania were wonderful places to visit . We saw the big 5 in the first few days and each day we saw something new and exciting.
Everything worked as planned and Ryan checked in to see how we we were.
Amazing

Habil was the most incredible, well informed guide!
We had the best day with Habil anf our Safari for exceeded our dream. My colleague and I were in Nairobi on business and we had one day to experience Kenya
Habil did not disappoint. He gave us so much history and information about the animals. My travel partner really wanted to see lions. it was her dream. we knew this was a very remote possibility and it is.
Habil had a friend who was a ranger and took us to five sleeping lions. I will never forget that sight.
Of course, everything gemstone does is to protect and preserve the animals whichid why I chose them over everyone else.
I cannot give enough praise for gemstone. I have told all my colleagues and highly recommend!

incredible
Tanzania was amazing start to finish. The people were friendly, it was easy to travel into and out of the country. I felt really safe, although I was with my tour operator the entire time. The food was great and most fruits/vegetables are locally grown. And of course the safaris were incredible. We toured Tarangaire, Ngoro Ngoro and the Serengeti. All parks had unique aspects. We saw many wild cats, including 2 sitings of cheetahs and a couple of cheetah cubs, a leopard who crossed our path, many lions, the wildebeest migration, herds of elephants ...etc. Some other highlights include the Ngoro Ngoro crater and the Olduvai Gorge.

fabulous landscapes and spaces
Secret Namibia tour was very nice.
A few advices:
1. take a plaque (iron ?) in the car for sand or jack ! and 10 l of water
2. use google maps not the garmin of your car...you ll get lost
3, book your activities in advance !!! at least a week for the most popular ones....
4. stay 3 nights in Swakop not 2 and do the dunes twice !!!!!!!!!!
5. dont stay long in windhoek (max 2 night) there are so many other nice sites to see ! Take an afternoon tour in Windhoek and go to the market to eat Kapana....
6. bring a few things to give away if you want . In Damaraland they have so little !
7. beware of children in Damaraland wanting to get something they are at risks with the cars and quite sticky.
8, take enough time in Sossusvlei....may be 2 days and 2 visits (?)
Namibia 2024 was an unforgetable marvelous discovery. The south for our next trip !

Outstanding guide for families.
My family and I went on a Namibia trip with Mr. T. I couldn't recommend him more highly as a tour guide. We all greatly enjoyed his company and his wealth of knowledge on our journey. He is very interactive and shares an abundance of knowledge about plants, animals, geology, history, etc. His personable nature makes it easy to ask questions. My children (ages 8 and 12) had a fantastic time with Mr. T and learned a lot during our travels with him. Mr. T is also a meticulous planner. He is very detail oriented and had our trip planned out very well. The breaks, rests, points of interest along the way and at the destination itself are all accounted for and planned out. And if there happens to be any sort of issue that arises, Mr. T is quick to adjust and address the situation to ensure a great trip. My family and I had an outstanding experience traveling with Mr. T and would highly recommend him as a guide.
