An Amazing experience in Botswana and Namibia - thanks to Gondwana Tours
My wife and I worked with Mark Hathaway to set up a three week tour that started in Botswana and ended in Namibia. It was one of the most wonderful experience of our lives. Gondwana Tours really worked with us to tailor the trip to our needs and the whole trip was a blast. We especially want to thank Mark Hathaway. He was incredibly patient and knowledgeable and worked with us to get the tour details right. He was also extremely patient with our countless questions and his suggestions were spot on. I would highly recommend Gondwana Tours and Safaris if you are going to Africa and I cannot say enough good things about Mark Hathaway.

These guys know their job.
Everything was well organized and ontime. Rose, the tour operator, was very responsible and helpful. She will help you to find and organize proper safari for your dates.There was a good communication about the trip, that means a lot. The driver, Richard, is just the best. He was caring about our group like his own children. He knows all the park so we managed to see The Big Five. I stayed in a budget tent where was shower with hot water that not all the camps provide. Every day there was different selection of dishes for dinner. Camp staff really tries its best for the guests. I can't complain at all about accommodation as I think you get even more for your money. The most important is your understanding that you are not in 5 star hotel and just next to the national reserve. In general, I had a great experience with Hyrax Safari.

Between the time we booked and the actual safari some things were changed but they worked out in our favor. If you want o see the Olduvai Gorge make sure that he knows that as we had to take a detour to see it. It is worth seeing as the museum is completed and you can visit the ruins.

Mussa is the Safari!
As first Mussa reply all my emails and questions. We plan easily our Safari with some changing in the standard tour (Mussa is very responding). About safari tour he looked for the best place and animals talking about the story of the park and the habit of each animal. We highly recommend Mussa and Roam Serengeti Safari!

Helpfull, flexible and good value for the money.
Good continous communication from George.
Ken was an excellent driver and very knowledgable guide in the Masai Mara National park.
We stayed at the Explore Mara nature lodge which was a very nice experience. We wanted to have a more true Kenyan experience, less of the feeling of a "hotel chain " experience. Good kenyan food, Clean "tent", very local decoration. Much more interesting than other lodges I've been staying at.
Well Worth a Try!!

This is clearly the best tour operators group..everything about them from the crew to services is aw
First of all the crew is lively,they have good communication skills and thus services offered are satisfying.The safari tour should just try and advertise themselves a little bit otherwise good job.

Efficient, thoughtful, professional, excellent and helpful
Just home from a wonderful holiday at the Victoria Falls. Our holiday was arranged by Tongesai Mutematsaka of Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours based in Zimbabwe. The trip was superb. We stayed at Victoria Falls Safari Lodges and our last night at the Victoria Falls hotel. Our accommodation was very comfortable and overlooked a water hole frequented by bushbuck, impala, warthogs, monkeys and baboons. The cuisine was excellent and staff extremely helpful and friendly.
Our driver and guide John Matumbura (he runs The Cyclonic Tours) was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and made our visit a delightful occasion. Tongesai himself ensured that everything ran smoothly. Every excursion, visit or activity was first rate. Any questions or worries that we had were immediately dealt with and resolved.
We would highly recommend Tongesai and his company Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours (www.cultural-vibes.com) to anyone wanting a perfect experience in the Victoria Falls area.

Creating lifetime experiences at its best
I booked a 3 day safari to Murchison Falls including the visit to Rhino Sanctuary. The operator Jesse was very helpful and informed me about all I needed. My guide Karim was excellent. Experienced, informed, patient, gentle, attentive, he couldn't have been better. I must also say that I enjoyed a 100% personal service because I had the lucky coincidence to not have other co-travellers. Thanks to Karim, I never felt alone, but always taken care of. The car was good, the stops and places to eat great, the attractions (Rhino Sanctuary, Albert Nile, Murchison Falls, wildlife, manifold landscapes in the park) wonderful. My accomodation was better than I had expected (I booked a tent at Fort Murchison). Although it was a tent, there was electricity, beds, towels... and the service and food were really, really good. Not to mention the wonderful view on Albert Nile River. For me, it was absolutely worth the price for this lifetime experience!

The experience was super awesome having to travel back in Africa after a long while abroad.
The communication by the tour operator was simple and easy to understand. The tour operator was more than willing to help me around everytime I had a question. No doubt I would still choose Suntrip Africa Safaris in my future travels!!

An Amazing Journey with Good Earth!
From the beginning booking with Baraka who offered suggestions was willing to accomadate to my request it went so very smoothly. Once on the ground Joseph the guide, driver was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds and trees. He also seemed able to predict which path the animals would take so that I was in a position to view these wonderful animals. Ausman the cook made some delicious meals a and was a source of information about modern African history. Their colleague Albert, in Kenya was also very knowledgeable and respectful of the animals. This trip far exceeded my expectations. I saw the Big 5 and so very much more. The wildebeest migration is a bit overwhelming so many animals. If I ever make it back to Africa I will be traveling with Good Earth Tours. I will recommend them to my friends and any6interested in Safari.
