A fantastic and very well organised trip
I had a fantastic 3 day trip organised by Flash McTours to Amboseli national park. From right at the beginning the trip was excellently organised - Peter was very responsive in answering all of our queries and ensuring everything was booked smoothly.
The trip was fantastic - the accommodation was high quality, our guide was knowledgeable and great to chat to, and the food was delicious.
If anyone is looking for a tour, I would highly recommend Flash McTours.

2 amazing ladies cannot be praised enough for their care and attention to detail. Just loved them.
From the moment we made contact from Sydney, Australia, they were professional, knowledgeable, paid attention to detail, picked us up from the airport, took care of us from the morning until we returned late at night to our hotel. They deserve every support and encouragement in their new business, they have overcome unbelievable hardship and uphill struggles to reach the point of establishing this business. Ketty and Isabel are the most trustworthy and professional women we encountered on our travels. I can, without any hesitation, highly recommend dealing with them to help you plan your holiday.

Everything was taken care of with the flexibility to change if required.
The focus of our trip was the cricket and far from being the highlight, the cricket was the only downside of the experience.
All of the arrangements through Wild Africa were handled really well. A party of 19 splitting up and going in all directions from Port Elizabeth, then meeting again in Cape Town a week later was arranged professionally and with a minimum of fuss. The vehicles were all very good, the accommodation was excellent and we had no safety concerns at any stage.

First class Odyssey Safaris enabled us to see African wildlife in their lovely natural surroundings.
Fun and different and one from our "bucket list"! Everything about this safari exceeded our expectations. We were very impressed with the expert handling of any concerns both before and during the tour. Each day went very smoothly. The lodges where we stayed were really comfortable and delightfully unique with service that was friendly, welcoming, and professional. We appreciated the good food too! We enjoyed the company of all the people in our group [fifteen, including us]. Our very competent driver/guide Simon went out of his way to give both us and the other couple in our land cruiser a great "safari experience" [We loved the land cruiser!] Simon provided us with expert information about the numerous beautiful animals we saw [ the cheetah was one of our favorites], with plenty of photo opportunities, as well as information about Kenya in general. We learned a lot. He made plenty of "comfort" stops along the way and time to souvenir shop! We thoroughly enjoyed the well-planned optional activities : the Masai village in Amboseli, the boat ride on Lake Naivasha, and the elephant orphanage in Nairobi [where we "adopted" a baby elephant]. This was a great and unforgettable experience. Thank you!

Thank you Ruan & Federica for hosting me in Africa
It was my first Africa vacation. At first I had concerns if it is safe there. But with Ruan and Federica I always felt safe. They gave me an unforgettable holiday and showed me a lot of land and people. I will never forget the 3.5 weeks. Thank you Ruan and Federica and best recommendation from Germany.

Unforgettable and Fantastic Time, No Complaints!
Everything was very straightforward. The booking with Mama Savana was simple, the pickup/drop-offs with our driver were well communicated and flexible, there was no stress. There were changes to our accommodations after they were booked, but the new places were comparable or better than the originals and we were notified of the changes in advance of our trip. Our driver, Novatus Joseph, was extraordinary. He was fun and extremely knowledgeable. He would communicate what our day would generally look like, but inquire to interests and plan accordingly (longer lunches, this animal > that animal, etc). I can't recommend him enough. We also wanted to visit an area that was not on the regular tour and they easily worked out the details and added to our plan. I have only good things to say!

A DREAM ADVENTURE IN KENYA
My boyfriend and I took a 7 day safari to Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru and finally Masaai mara, Fina a great lady I must admit who I use to get in touch with her as we were preparing our safari, Tour operator manager at Across the wild Tours and Safaris together with Peter the driverguide picked us up in Nairobi at JKIA. Fina was really happy to see us and gave us some safari hats which cane in really handy during our safari and a mobile phone that we could contact them in case of anything in the course of our safari, that was a really job well done by the tour operator and I say thank you for always bringing your customers needs to you r attention we left JKIA and we commenced on our adventure. We had a terrific time, Peter's knowledge of all the animals, his patience in answering all our questions and his quest to find us all the big five went above and beyond. The hotel we stayed in (Sopa lodges in Nakuru and Naivasha then Serena Lodge in Masai Mara) exceeded our expectations. Beautiful place with a beautiful view. Thank you Peter for a fun, informative trip and thank you Fina for great customer relation, Can't recommend you enough.

Robert was excellent to book through. He also has had previous experience in South Africa.
We had a wonderful time in South Africa. Our accommodation was spot on for our cricket tour. No problems with the car hire except more information from the Company when you pick the cars up re extra costs for drivers. All transfers were on time. Safaris in their different formats were fantastic. The costing of the tour was great value.

Our experience with Mwajabu and her team at Hello Tanzania were exemplary – first class!
Our safari to Mikumi National Park was excellent! Abdullah, our driver and Gilbert, our guide, made sure that we saw all of the easily accessible animals (e.g., giraffes, zebras, impala, elephants) and also went over and above to find the less accessible animals (e.g., lions, leopards). Seeing a pride of five lions on day one of our safari and one more lion on day two was an unexpected bonus.
Hello Tanzania provided outstanding service throughout, especially for our day trip to Zanzibar. Heavy traffic and minor flooding in Dar es Salaam meant we missed our scheduled flight in the morning to Zanzibar. Mwajabu looked after us by adjusting our booking while we were still en route to the airport so that we could make a later flight that morning. The communication on this trip, as it was on all three of our excursions with Hello Tanzania, was excellent.
Mwujabu and her team provided consistently professional and very friendly service.
We very highly recommend Hello Tanzania!
