The best tour, our guide Ambrose is great!
The tour is the best, I enjoyed all. Our guide, Ambrose, did everything for us to make the most of the park and see all the animals, I saw everyone! The food is also good! The hotel and camp accommodation it's confortable and all the staff it's friendly and helpfull. The massai mara Park it's amazing. I really recommend to go with Baboon, they are efficient, fun, and the most important thing is that you are safe with them, definitely going back one day!

Booked via chat. Easy to get in contact and fast in answering any queries, very convenient.
Ultimate Pilanesberg day trip. The weather was wonderful. Adolph, the driver came to pick me up from the lodge perfect in time 05:15 am. I was the first to be picked up, so, I had a whole sightseeing of entire Johannesburg:-) which was quite interesting. We drove through areas I would never visit....but still, very interesting for a quick sight seeing. With everybody on board we drove towards Piilanesberg with one stop on the way for use restrooms and buying breakfast. At Pilanesberg NP we had to wait a short while for two other guests joining us on our open safari vehicle. We were now guide with 8 guests. Our morning game drive was about 3 hours and the afternoon drive about 2 hours. It was a wonderful day. We saw two lions (though from quite a distance) and a prey (red hartebeest) lying aside the road with two cheetahs behind the bushes. We could see some spots but were still very excited to be near them. We also saw kudu, rhino, elephants, impala, warthog, wildebeest, giraffe, jackal etc etc.
Wijnand was our guide and did a fabulous job. At around 15:00 pm we were back for Adolph to drive us back to Jo'burg again. We stopped at a big market mall with al king of souvenirs and restrooms. I was back at my lodge at about 19:15. Adolph was a very friendly guy and safe driver. He drove us all safe home again. I would like to thank Moafrica, Adolph and Wijnand for a wonderful day!

Viewpoint Adventures Gave us the Best Experience of our Lives!!!!!
We (my husband and I) had a fantastic trip to Tanzania with Viewpoint Adventures Ltd. Our guide; Idrissah (Idi) was a fantastic guide¬ – very knowledgeable about the culture, people and animals. We spent the first week doing cultural activities, getting to know the gracious people of Tanzania. We visited a Maasi tribe, had a cultural tour of Mto Wa Mbu, visited Bashay Primary School, and met the kids at the Shalom Orphanage. Idi interacts very well with the local people, and one can tell that he has a great relationship with all of them.
The second part of our trip was all about the animals, and we weren’t disappointed! We visited Tarangire National Park (known for the elephants), Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Serengeti National Park is a jewel for wildlife viewing – each day was spent seeing something new and exciting, including the great migration (amazing!). Idi was very knowledgeable in spotting the animals; he would see animals that we didn’t even know were around. He introduced us to spieces we didn’t know existed, and always took the time to explain the different animals, let us take the time we wanted to view them and take all the pictures we desired. One thing that really impressed us was that all the guides knew Idi, and we could tell that there was a deep respect for him from those that we encountered.
While in the Serengeti, we got to see everything that we wanted to see, except for the rhino, as there aren’t many left in the Serengeti as a result of heavy poaching. After leaving the Serengeti, we went to the Ngorongoro Crater, and Idi knew that it was very important for us to see a rhino. He drove us around for three hours looking for a rhino, asking the rangers about their whereabouts. When we thought we wouldn’t be able to see a rhino, Idi had one more idea on where we could spot a rhino, and low and behold – we saw not only one – but two black rhinos! It was the highlight of the trip, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Idi’s patience and determination.
We would highly recommend anyone to go with Viewpoint Adventures, you won’t be disappointed. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we can’t wait to go back!

Everything went well from day one ,from emails, to picking us and dropping us off to the airport.
Rose was very efficient she was one of the few tour operators who responded quickly and we got what we wanted for the price we paid in fact maybe a little bit more. As we had requested Felix to be our guide we got him, this was from numerous excellent reviews about him was the reason we asked for him. And he lived up to the expectation.
Although the time we went was not the peak season for wildlife we managed to see the big five!
We would highly recommend Swala Safaris!
We had a memorable safari this time as compared to the last safari in Kruger three years. I know wildlife don't have a schedule it is luck or being there at right time and the Serrengetti and the Ngororo will definitely live up to thier expectation.

Wonderful budget experience
We booked the safari one month in advance and we chose the 4 nights tented solutions, the cheapest one.
The organization was very good and all members of the staff very kind, from the moment we landed in Arusha until the end of the trip.
We enjoyed the game drives especially at Serengeti and Ngorongoro National parks. We had a great time with FRANK, our guide, which took us to see the best places and almost all the savana's animals. He is an expert guide and we appreciated a lot the descriptions and explanations he made.
DAVID, the cook, made our trip even better thanks to his delicious meals.
We really recommend both of them.
Thanks a lot to all Foot Slopes' Staff for making our experience unforgettable!

Rogers Sibanda, with his experience and attention to detail, made this a very positive experience.
My wife and I just completed a 10-day Botswana Camping Safari, with Rodgers Sibanda as our guide. We were already experienced Africa campers and had high expectations for this particular safari. Rogers, with his competence and attention to detail, exceeded those expectations. His knowledge and skill in the bush is truly remarkable. Rodgers has a well-trained and capable 4-member staff that added to our satisfaction. Rodgers' communication skills are excellent and again we underscore his ability to clearly explain habitat and interesting characteristics of both animals and bird life. We didn't want this camping safari to end. It was pure enjoyment, with lots of fond memories that will live with us well into the future.

Great experience, excellent guide
We booked a 2 day safari with Luitours, all booking was made from Sweden without problems. Our guide, Nico, picked us up at our hotel for a car drive to Mikumi, we had a really good trip with a safe driver. And the game drive.. oh wow! You can tell that this guy loves his job, spotting animals from far away, and getting close enough without stressing the animals, great respect for the wildlife. The meeting with two lionesses by a 500 year old tree will be in our minds for the rest of our lives.. Accomodations and meals were good, lodging too.
A big thank to Luitours, and an even bigger one to Nico, for a wonderful safari experience!

Amazing safari experience!
My family and I had an amazing safari with Africa Safari Classics - 7 night 8 days with three lodges including two parks and on lake, fish eagle. I recommend them without hesitation. Our safari trip was made all the more fantastic, comfortable and manageable due to Maurice and John who made many alternatives, arrangements, met us at the airport and in the morning at hotel and our guide, driver and friend, John. Both went above and to met obstacles and challenges we presented from dietary restrictions (traveling with my husband and 75 yr old father), changes in itinerary, and kept an energy and positive attitude that made the trip fantastic . We came out with smiles on our faces and happy as heck. We saw hippo, cheetah, lion, zebra, elephant, giraffe, many bird species etc, went to a Maasai village and Shopping! We were able to enjoy both luxury and the real safari experience, had the vehicle to ourselves, wow! and crafted bargaining skills and were overall amazed with Safari Classics, Kenya, the safari and hope to go again in the future...
