An amazing trip including lodging, guides and destination
From the start the communication was excellent. All our questions were answered and the agenda perfectly planned. We stayed in Kasane at the Riverview Lodge and went on two game drives in the Chobe National Park and a visit to Victoria Falls. The accommodations were excellent and the staff were quite friendly and helpful. All guides were very professional. Trip of a lifetime and we are so happy to have chosen City & Safari for experience. Thank you!

Don't miss it!
We were just on safari trip for 3 days/2nights with Afrozone Kingdome. I'm still under the impression of whole trip and how beautiful everything was.
We started from Arusha to Serengeti, spent the first night there in the camp surronded with animals and natural life. Next day took the early morning game drive through Serengeti and after lunch continued to Ngorongoro. There was also a camp which we spent the night at (it was really cold at night because you are high at rimes of crater, so don't forget to bring a hoodie and some warm clothes!) Next morning was the drive inside of crater and was wonderful!
We saw all the animals we wanted, caught The Big Five and so much more.
Our driver was the best (if booking defenitly search for young guy Mandela), he really did his best and listened to our wishes, full of experience and fun facts about the park and animals. The cook was also amazing, we ate some of the best food we tried in Tanzania.
All in all, I would... Read more defenitly recommed Afrozone Kingdome Safari for the care they provided us, and the most important part the price is than fair for what they are offering.
Hakuna matata!

Timbuktu were always helpful and knowledgable, and delivered what they promised.
Timbuktu were always on hand to give advice. They had selected excellent lodges and other accommodation for the holiday.
Everything went extremely smoothly, and I would have no hesitation in recommending the company to others, as I have complete confidence in Timbuktu.

Outstanding and very Reliable safari company! The best!!
Hagyko safaris are so reliable and always professional! I coordinate 6 to 8 safaris each year for groups from the USA and Hagyko safaris makes the experience so smooth. They've always been on time and provided teams with the best experience!
I also have experienced first hand their trips including July 2018 with my wife, 3 young children and my parents. We had the most enjoyable experience and we were so thankful for the kindness and efforts of the drivers to provide us with the best sites and locations. They really make things happen for their guests and groups always have an awesome experience.
I recommend hagyko safaris to anyone and wish you the best in your planning.

Mr Wilson knows lots about Lions
Thanks Mr Wilson for taking me on my first safari. He picked me up from Jomo Kenyatta airport in his Daewoo Lanos and took me for food in the Carnivore restaurant before dropping me to the hotel. On safari we saw all the animals. And we finished the day at the lapper. Thanks again. I'll be back soon.

Excellent and worth every penny.
Spent two weeks on safari and beach with Gosheni and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a stress free safari. I worked closely with Gosheni on the planning of our safari many months ago and also left some details for them as they have far more experience than I and everything was perfect. We have completed many safaris in the past in Kenya and South Africa, but must say the sightings and experiences we had in Tanzania was the best to date and a wonderful way to celebrate our birthdays. Our guide/driver was professional and informative and very patient with us when we continuously wanted to stay with individual sightings rather than the normal dash off to capture something else kind of safari, probably why we got to witness/capture so many lion kills. Jessica our sales consultant has been excellent from start to finish, even calling me on our drive back to the airport on our final day to ensure everything was ok. If and when we return to Tanzania we will again chose Gosheni to make all our arrangements.

Charles was our guide for a week whilst visiting Uganda (we didn't do a safari). He did a fantastic job organizing transport, hotels, meals, events etc. Recommended to all.

Experience of a lifetime! Knowledgeable, fun, and hard working drivers above and beyond expectations
My husband and I booked an 11 day custom private safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania for our honeymoon and the experiences we had were above and beyond our expectations all the way from initial airport pick up to drop off! We chose baboon budget because they were recommend by my cousin that used them for his family’s safari in 2017.
From the start, they did not miss a single detail, and even arranged to have a trail of rose petals in our room in our first hotel to celebrate our honeymoon!
The Game parks in Kenya included Maasai Mara, lake Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli. Each one was a very unique experience, all were beautiful. scenic, and filled with a variety of animals. The Lodges we stayed at were high end despite being a budget trip, and beautiful and all had incredible views and great service and the dinner and breakfast menus were delicious.
Anthony, our driver in Kenya was great to talk to, extremely knowledgeable, seemed to have lots of experience in each... Read more game park. He was very pleasant and easy going despite having to drive us around for many hours each day sometimes on very bumpy roads. He always took us where we wanted to go quickly and would surprise us with animals we were hoping to see but thought would be too difficult to find. He was always able to spot animals that were hiding and he educated us on animals facts and Kenyan culture. I would definitely request Anthony if we were to return to Kenya.
After Kenya we were transferred to Tanzania by bus. Once again everything was organized and we did not have to worry about getting a ride to our next destination since the drivers found us. Our driver in Tanzania (Godfrey - from Seven wonders - but also organized through baboon budget) was fantastic as well. We had a great time talking to him on our safaris and asking him questions. We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. All were very different and I recommend all three. He also took us to a remote hot springs in Moshi that was a bit out of the way on a road that was very hard to find. Every request we had when booking a month before from canada was met and exceeded our expectations.
On our last day in Africa we had a 10 hour layover in Nairobi. Boniferas was our driver and he spent all day driving us around to the giraffe centre, various markets, malls, parks, and carnivore restaurant for dinner before finally dropping us off at the airport with great timing! He was very personable and professional. He made our last day fantastic as well.
I highly recommend this tour company for any safaris in Kenya or Kenya and Tanzania. I have so many great things to say about our time in Africa and baboon budget safaris played a vital role in making our honeymoon perfect! We had just come from Uganda and Rwanda, and although we saw amazing things in those two beautiful countries, the tour company there did not even compare to baboon budget safaris.

An outstanding hassle free holiday experience.
After our initial contact with Ker & Downey Africa, Sarah our adventurist made contact with us even called us to find out what we would like to do on our Africa holiday. Sarah put together an itinerary & dates to suit us. Sarah was so easy to communicate with and very prompt with responses to our emails. Organizing our holiday with Ker & Downey Africa by email and from Australia, we always felt comfortable and secure with all decisions and payments that we made. Our holiday was spectacular and Sarah & Zena put so much work into the logistics of our holiday from the VIP airport pick up on arrival in Johanesberg to small things like wine in the hotel room on arrival in Cape Town, ensuring that we had restaurant bookings, they were in constant contact with us during our holiday to ensure everything was going to plan or respond quickly to any text that we sent to them.
The selection of Safari Lodges, Tour guides & Transport companies were all excellent the people... Read more that worked in the Safari Lodges were great friendly, helpful and welcoming, which just added to the outstanding hassle free holiday and then you add in the game drives were we experienced so many wonderful animals and spectacular scenery.
Ker & Downey Africa and there staff certainly worked hard to ensure we had a wonderful holiday and from our experience we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone to handle there holiday booking.

Simply great! Rhys is the perfect guide, saw the big 5 at least twice, did everything we wanted to!
Even though quite some time passed by since our tour we wanted to say thank you to Rhys for our perfect tour!
Rhys and his team planned the tour perfectly around our flights, communication was easy and Rhys and his team answered right away to any question. So planning our tour was simple after we had picked Endless Summer Tours.
The tour started with Rhys picking us up at the airport with the 4WD that was becoming our second home for the tour. We headed right to Kruger park and got a lot of information about the landscape we passed.
In the Kruger park Rhys stopped for pointing out all the animals - and I am quite sure we would have missed mor than half of them without Rhys (and would have missed quite some rare animals for not knowing they were ;-)! He gave us interesting information about the all those small and big animals and it took only 2 days to have the big 5 completed the first time :-) - and we got to see all of them multiple times.
Also saw a hunt of Wild dogs,... Read more which Rhys was able to follow quite a long way with his driving skills and knowledge of the park. It was great fun spending time at the BBQ in the nights and got a lot of good food throughout the day *yummie*. He adjusted all plans just the way we wanted - so we spent all day in the car driving around to see as much as possible.
For us it was good to have a closed car for weather and temperature - especially in the mornings.
All in all it was just a perfect tour, we will definitely pick Endless Summer Tours again when we are back for another Kruger Tour!!!
Thank you Rhys (and sorry it took us so long to write our recommandation)!!!!!!
