magnificent
Me and my family we were in a need of taking a vacation to celebrate Our mom's birthday, we searched company after company until my son came across Bison Safaris . In the beginning we were a bit worried how the experience would be but Maggie took her time to walk me through all the procedure until I become comfortable and booked with her. We did 9 days private Safari, Amboseli national park,Tsavo National park and ended our safari in Diani and the whole safari was magnificent.
Thank you Bison Safaris for your kind services and information. Mom enjoyed as well as we did.

A life time experience!!!
A life time experience!!!
Soul of Tanzania made our dream come true.
From the moment we start organising our trip, we felt that we were in excellent hands!
Sandy draw a tailor made safari (we have been in Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar). She picked up our budget and schedule, and draw it perfectly!
When we arrived Tanzania, we met Edward (Edy), our guide, who made all the effort to make our trip memorable! From the bureaucratic issues to the knowledge of nature and wild life, it was all professionally taken care by him.
We'll never forget the amazing quality of Olerai Lodge (Arusha), Acacia Lodges (Tarangire and Serengeti), Pakulala Safari camp (Ngorongoro), Escarpment Luxury Lodge (Lake Manyara), SeVi Boutique Hotel (Zanzibar) and neither our picnics together with hot and well made meals!
African music on the jeep and Edy's friendship made our safari much more pleasant.
We will never forget Edy and Tanzania!!

BEST HONEYMOON EVER!!!! THANKS A MILLION
Don't look any further: Safari by Z provided the best experience we could have hoped for, and more. From the time of booking giving us all of the information required before the trip to the pick up at the airport and of course the safari itself, everything was much more than what we expected. Thanks Monaidi for all the support prepping and organizing the trip.
Without saying, our guide was simply AMAZING. Throughout the entire trip, Fahdili was smiling, sharing all of his knowledge with us. He knows Serengiti like his own hands with all of the best spots and has supersonic eyes that allowed us to spot all of the BIG 5 Animals (and more like cheetahs) easily and from very close!!!
It was simply an amazing experience. We will come back for sure and with Fahdili.
If you are thinking of booking a safari in Tanzania, look no further. Safari by Z will give you everything you need!! (And ask for Fahdili as a guide, you won't regret it!!!)

Great tour with more luxury than we had expected
We really enjoyed our 3-day tour in the Okavango delta with Shipungo. We had special dietary requirements that were met excellently by their chef Simon who made delicious food for us 3 times a day. All our needs were taken care of during the trip and we had a wonderful time. We were doubting whether this tour would be nice considering the significantly lower price compared to other tours. We do not regret chosing Shipungo though and can definitely recommend if you're also looking for a more budget trip in the Okavango delta.

Our guides were Silas and Frank, they were excellent guides!
We were picked up from Silus and Frank at the airport at Dar Es Salam and drove to Seleous where we did a 2 day Safari tour. They were very polite and helpful. We saw a lot of animals up close and they explained us everything about them. We learned so much about the wildlife and culture. They also always had lunches packed for us which was great. We also did a walking safari and a boat safari with them which was also very nice. After Sileous we drove to Mikumi National Park which was also a great experience. We would always recommend doing safari with them!

Fantastic, well organised safari!
We had a 7 day safari in Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara. Martin from Fede Tours was brilliant. Everything ran smoothly. We were amazed as to how many animals we saw. This was made more interesting by all the information Martin could tell us about them. Martin was very friends and patient and went out of his way to seek animals which we wanted to see. He was also flexible with the schedule and timings of the safari, tailoring them to our needs/wishes. Definitely value for money! It was an experience of a lifetime and I would definitely recommend this tour operator.

Great itinerary and guides, and but a couple things need to be tightened up.
Generally, for less than a two week trip, the itinerary was perfect to get a great flavor and feel for what South Africa has to offer. Essentially the first week is for a Safari out of Johannesburg with the second portion being a number of days in Cape Town. We cannot say enough great things about the guides and drivers at all locations. Top notch! They went above and beyond what could have been expected catering to our schedule and “off tour” trips and experiences.
The price was really a great value considering all that was included. You get to see and do so much. For a ten day tour, you come away feeling that you have accomplished a lot of what you need to say you have seen and gotten a feel for South Africa.
However, there are a couple things which need to be tightened up to make this a true five star experience. There is no way to say this that doesn’t sound like an entitled tourist, but here goes. The bar set up at Hamala Lodge has to be updated to service its guests. One example. on the first morning of our several day Safari tour based at the Humala River Lodge, one of our party ordered a Bloody Mary. The bartender, a great young gentleman named Blessing, could not have been more accommodating and was able to make several Bloody Marys. The other half of the group also staying in the Hamala River Lodge at the same time, heard our order and also ordered Bloody Marys. Turned out that the 6–7 Bloody Marys completely wiped out the bar’s ability to make Bloody Marys for the rest of our stay. It would appear to be a very easy fix to have either a greater supply of Bloody Mary mix available to the bar or have someone run out the approximately 45 minutes – one hour to the town right outside the reserve to resupply the bar with Bloody Mary mix. Again, not a big deal, but such an easy fix.
The seafood restaurant for lunch in Cape Town prior to the boat tour should be deleted from the itinerary. It’s a tourist trap with no real flavor or anything special to either Africa or Cape Town. A more traditional African restaurant would be a much better option.
More importantly, there was some transfer issues that, again, would appear to be easily addressed and corrected. On the first day on our arrival from the US following a 14 hour flight, 9 passengers were transported from the airport in an 8 passenger van to the Seasons Resort. The last thing I needed was to have to sit on an armrest of the van for about the hour transfer to the Resort following that long flight. Again, not. a deal breaker, but Go Touchdown knew how many would be on the transfer, and could easily have provided more suitable transportation.
Lastly, one of group was completely left off the flight to Cape Town. Fortunately, we caught the error and we’re able to have the fourth person in our group added to the flight. Inexplicably, that same person was given a different flight back from Cape Town to Johannesburg. We were unable to get them on our same flight. They had to take a much later flight which was delayed causing a big rush in Johannesburg to make the flight home. Lastly, and again, as all the flight arrangements had to be left to Go Touchdown, and particularly after leaving this person off the flight to Cape Town, not having them booked on the same flight as the rest of our party to Johannesburg is just inexcusable.

Exceptionally helpful, accommodating, and well-organized
Peak Cruise Safaris was extremely helpful and communicative before I booked the trip. They answered all of my questions, were patient while I made my decisions, and gave me multiple payment options. During the trip, everything was perfectly arranged in accordance with my itinerary. All of the arrangements were made for me, there was no hassle at any of the hotels, parks, or restaurants. Peak Cruise took very good care of me. Special thanks to the organizer, Jennifer, and the driver, Abdul. They were a pleasure to work with and provided a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
