Very conscientious
A group of six of us started a 12 day safari from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro airport in Tanzania. One of our party’s luggage was lost in Amsterdam. It took several days to get her luggage. We were near Ngorongoro Crater before her luggage showed up. Laura from Intent on Safari was in constant communication with us. She had someone pick up her suitcase from the airport in Tanzania and drive several hours one way to drop it off.
Shadrack was our guide through Tanzania. What an incredibly intelligent and personable person. He has an instinct for spotting wildlife way in the distance. He knew how to maneuver the Land Cruiser to get the best shot. I highly recommend Intent on Safari and ask for Shadrack as a guide. I understand that his father Paul is also a great guide.

Wonderful country, lots of animals and friendly people!
We had a beautiful trip to Zanzibar, and a two day safari from there.
A bit stressful and a lot of driving during this two days, and would have liked to have a third day for more relaxing. But the rest was really great.
Tanzanite people must be the most friendly people in the world:-)

Excellent Operator
We were quite late in planning our safaris… actually we arrived in Cape Town without any plan… Lisa and her colleagues from African Family Safaris planned a tailored itinerary for us in 24 hours spanning from Kruger to Victoria falls, Chobe and Okawango delta. Accommodation great , guides very knowledgeable, transportation impeccable. We had wonderful experiences and we are looking forward going back to Africa!!! Thank you again Africa Family Safaris!!!

Professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
I had an amazing experience with Johills Mobile Safaris! The team is professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the Botswana landscape and wildlife. The tour was well-organised, safe, and full of unforgettable moments. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a real safari adventure in the Okavango Delta!

Great organisation
We just returned from a magnificent 6-day/5-night safari (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli) organized by Budget Holiday Safaris and we are completely satisfied. The agency far exceeded our expectations, especially for a safari in the "budget" category.
* Customer Service Beyond Expectations (Thank You Josephine): Josephine was absolutely exemplary in the organization. Her responsiveness and adaptability to all my requests made the preparation and the trip perfectly stress-free. She even helped us book our train tickets to Mombasa, as we didn't have the M-Pesa app needed for online booking. Invaluable help that saved the end of our trip!
* Flawless Organization: All the logistics of the tour were smooth and efficient. The free transfers to and from the airport (pick-up and drop-off) were a huge plus.
* Incredible Itinerary: The choice of parks (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli) offered a diversity of landscapes and wildlife viewing opportunities. * Competent guide: Our driver-guide was not only professional but also very attentive and an expert at spotting wildlife.
We wholeheartedly recommend this agency to anyone wishing to discover Kenya!

The tour was perfectly organized and the service was excellent.
We booked the 4-day safari tour with the panoramic tour. The tour was very well organized; we received daily updates from the tour operator about the next day's schedule. The service was truly excellent.
Our drivers were very friendly and provided us with a lot of information. Especially Muzi, the driver we spent two days with, was very friendly and told us a lot of about the animals. With him, we saw the Big Five on the first day and four of the Big Five on the second day. He always drove us to the best possible positions for photos and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. It was a lot of fun traveling with him.
I can highly recommend the tour and the Tour operator

Private Shuttle with Joseph - amazing
We booked a private Transfer from Johannesburg Airport to Hoedspruit with SafariLink.
The driver was on time and greeted us warmly. He arranged all the stops etc. to our wishes. We arranged at a very good time.
But the most important point: Joseph drove absolutely reliably, very safe and with good understanding of the South African roads. He gave us relevant information on our trip as well as about landmarks among the way.
It was more than we expected!

Incredible
The safari was beautiful, and the accommodations were very good with comfortable bathrooms for being inside a park.
We saw many animals, although we were unlucky not to see any zebras (very unusual).

Two days private safari, worth to recommend
First of all I must say that safari in Tsavo East is unforgettable experience. The views and presence of wild animals was a very special moment in our lives, and we're simply out of words to describe how incredible feeling it was. Karanja and Chris were very nice and they showed us lot of interesting places and animals. We felt secure and well cared for whole trip. We didn't have a luck to see male lion, leopard and rhino (for the last ones Tsavo West is probably better), but that's undersandable risk with wild animals.
We agreed with Chris to change a bit second day of the trip, to have a tour through Mombasa (Tusks, Fort Jesus and Spiece Market).
Reason for 4/5 stars is unexpected change in location of our accomodation as we chose Voi Safari Lodge, but due to overbooking we stayed in Voi Wildlife, and we'd been informed of this fact in front of the second lodge and not earlier. I know, that it's due to lodges management, but comunication could be better. Voi Wildlife wasn't bad, but it was cheaper option in other options so that's why I've been a little disappointed. Tsavo East helped me to get rid of bad feelings though :)
Tips for others: 1) Jeeps seems like a better option not only due to their appearance, but also they allow the guide to join looking out for the animals. 2) Mombasa tour wasn't that special as safari so it's better to use two game drives at second day.
Generally I'd recommend this trip, with minor remark to Chris.
