Awesome experience
It was one of the the best journeys, we had. A great Safari and specially the Gorilla-tour was amazing. We travelled as a couple and had a very professional caring driver /guide / supporter from Able Safaris with us. The hotels had been well furnished and often a gorgeous and very interesting African style. Food in Africa was (for an European person) sometimes simple but always very delicious. The Able Safari in all Nationalparks, the boat trip, the chimpanzee trekking, the Rhinos trekking in the Ziwa Sanctuary, Murchison Falls and Kampala had outperformed all our expectations. And the Gorilla trekking was the highlight. The destinations had been selected carefully and offered us unforgettable experiences and impressions.

Johannesburg to Kruger
Gail organised a self-drive holiday for my family and I. We enjoyed sight seeing and tours in JHB and then drove to Kruger and did some pre-booked game drives with a ranger and then drove ourselves through Kruger too. WOW, we saw all the big 5 and the Kruger amazed us. When we dropped the car off there was some confusion over car seat payments but Gail quickly organised a refund.

Unique experience and professionalism
I am back to my home country and we would like to thank you for a wonderful trip.
The souvenirs we will keep for life time are unforgettable.
ALthough we did not expect to be on the road for so long, each and every attraction was unique and special.
Kenya walking Survivors planned well our trips, our pick-ups and accompagnement.
Your services are remarkable and the people you work with are so professional.
We will never forget David who was our guide and I would like to thank him so much for taking care of us.
He was particularly attentive to our requests and to what we wanted do.
The flexibility the company showed is also remarkable given that this was a set program.
Finally, the choice of hotels and lodges are just Great.
Hope to be able to do more next time.
Gail is prompt, available, knowledgeable, thoughtful,constantly attentive and detail focussed
Gail immediately made us feel confident we were in safe hands and she had experi need much of what we were doing herself which is crucial. We were safe in the knowledge that not only was Gail on hand but that a local team member was also available and reached out on numerous occasions to make sure we were happy wth everything. Despite a lot of travelling and many connections as we toured there was never any doubt we were being well looked after. Travel was seamless. We had one minor hiccup early on but this was quickly rectified and Gail’s team responded perfectly. There were some extremely touching moments where Gail had arranged special dinners and small tokens marking my wife’s birthday. The trip had a really classy feel to it thanks to Gail.

Fantastic experience. Shaheen and Fareen are amazing and provide first rate personal service.
We have travelled with Wild Destinations twice now and both of our parents have gone as well. We have no hesitation in recommending them. They provide customized itineraries and put a great deal of thought into the parks to go to and what the best accommodations would be. We travelled with our two boys (9 and 11) and Shaheen and Fareen made sure that their interests were taken into account. They had an amazing experience. If you go with Wild Destinations I have no doubt you will have a trip of a lifetime.

An epic climb with a great company
I'm so glad I went with Barafu for my climb. Having completed a few different similar trips around the world, I can easily say Barafu is among the best. Being a smaller company, you get a very personalised service and it really makes a huge difference.
Our guides, Sauly & Jonas were awesome. They were always in touch with where we were and made sure we always knew what was happening and were safe/comfortable. Our vitals were checked nightly during a briefing about the next day.
The food was amazing, with a good variety and great quality. The porters and whole team during the climb were great. They were friendly and engaging with us and getting into camp each day to find warm washing water, a setup tent and fresh popcorn was a welcome treat.
While on our climb, it became very obvious that there is a big difference between companies and the level of service - it made me really glad we went with Barafu. I honestly can't say enough good things about the whole trip with the Barafu team, especially our guides, they were amazing.

Excellent hiking trip to the top of Kilimanjaro
We were guided on a hiking trip to the top of Kilimanjaro. Everything was very well organized, fun, and professional. It was one of the best trips of my life.

Efficient service
Best safari holiday (wet and wild). Weather was not good but the game ranger made it worth while. It was worth every cent. The food was also great. The reception and the rooms exceptional.

Excellent service
A week for a business trip was scheduled for me in Johannesburg. I wanted to extend my stay for another week to spend some time with my son with a Safari. Tried with some websites, but the were quite obscure and confusing especially when you have never done a safari before. At some point I landed on the safari.com website with the possibility to converse with a representative. I talked to Annemarie Linda and she helped me to find a programme with the budget I gave and the availability of lodges. She really did a great job and everything she organised was perfect. She was available at all times to answer to any questions I had.
Thank you very much Annemarie and Safari.com
