Fast and friendly service!
5/5

My friend and I did the Kilimanjaro Machame route and 2 day safari with Migration in July 2018. Amos was our main contact and he was always quick to respond with any information that we needed as well as being very accommodating to our needs. The guides for the trek and the safari were also great. Would definitely recommend Migration for any of their offered trips or even for organising a custom itinerary!

Plan your trip, then sit back and enjoy!
5/5

After reading other reviews, Encounter Africa Safaris was one of three companies that I inquired with to put together a custom tour for 5 friends. They were the first to respond, were very professional, and addressed each of my requests. They also did a very good job of matching my requests with available activities and accommodations. Although I never met Chris in person, he was very good at taking care of the details from the office. Tolbert was our driver/guide and hero in Uganda. He was very perceptive and did a great job anticipating our needs, accommodating our requests, and keeping us on track. He was informative, sincere, and a fun member of our group! Abdul took care of our transportation needs in Rwanda. We had a special request to visit an area well off the beaten tourist track. Having never been there, Abdul even made the special effort to scout it out in advance of our arrival! He was sweet and had a soft paternal, protective presence. Our itinerary did have a couple of small glitches, one from our group's side, and one from a miscommunication on the company's side. The beauty of it is that Encounter Africa quickly remedied these things before they ever became an issue, making for a very enjoyable and nearly seamless trip. I definitely recommend them and will use them again next time!

Exceeded our wildest expectations!
5/5

My husband, my parents and I booked a 4 day mid-luxury safari with Shemeji. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!

The company is highly organized and tended to respond to my emails within 24 hours. They were very flexible in accommodating all of our requests. The vehicle was in great shape, with working power outlets, comfortable seats, great pop open roofs, and lots of space. We were never in short supply of water or food. The lodges Shemeji arranged for us were all beautiful and unique in their own right, a great variety for the three nights we had. Timing was well planned among the three parks. We never ran into any issues either planning or experiencing the safari, everything went as smoothly as it could possibly go! Shemeji was a great price for the quality safari we received!

As for the animals, we were thrilled to see the big 5! But each and every animal was exciting in its own right. However, it was the unexpected encounters that stood out the most for us, such as an exciting lunch we had in Tarangire: We were overlooking a river bed full of multiple elephant families, zebras and wildebeests racing up and down a ravine, and water buffalo in the distance. It was spectacular! And all credit is due to our guide who taught us to be patient and in return nature would reward us with its magnificence.

Our guide, Joseph, was exceptional, and we could feel that from the very first interaction we had with him. He gave us an introduction to what we would be doing for the next four days, that we would come to know each other well after spending so much time together, and that he wanted us to let him know anytime we had preferences or requests. We told him that we wanted to avoid the areas that were littered with other safari vehicles and figuratively go “off the beaten path.” He delivered on that and more. His knowledge of the roads was impressive in every park. Only to be matched by his knowledge of the wildlife and vegetation we saw. He rarely used the vehicle radio (which many guides use to communicate with each other regarding animal sightings) and instead showed us the natural, original beauty of the safari experience, rather than the car chase that it can become. He never rushed us, never stressed out and yet always managed to get us where we needed to be in time. We were completely charmed by him because he was so wise and gave insightful life lessons to accompany information about the animals or the park history. He had a great sense of humor and we could tell he took a genuine interest in us, as we had with him. We formed a really nice connection over the four day trip. He was our ideal safari guide and then some! After the trip, we couldn’t stop talking about Joseph. It was Joseph who made the safari exceptional and exceed our wildest expectations!

I highly recommend Shemeji and Joseph!

Kalahari Breeze Safaris has organised such a wonderful trip for us in Botswana
5/5

We had a trip in Botswana from Maun to Victoria falls in July. We spent about two weeks all through the Okavango delta, Moremi, Savuti and Chobe in a camping safari. We would like to thank Maria and Chris for having so well organised our tour. All the staff were wonderful in assisting us throughout from the beginning to the end of the trip. We had such an unforgettable experience in the bush, seeing so many wild animals and astonishing landscapes. We highly recommend this company and we hope to come back soon.

A breathtaking experience!
5/5

Wamba tours took excellent care of us, Onan and Gerad did a fantastic job! They even came to check on us before we even left for the safari, just to make sure we were prepared for our trip the next day. The accommodation they found for us was beautiful, and we were treated like VIPs! We went on an early morning game drive, and felt so fortunate to have excellent guides who had very good eyes for animals they knew we wanted to see. When we didnt get to see lions in the morning game drive, our guides rearranged our schedule to take us on a night drive, where we got to witness a beautiful female lion out hunting! We had an amazing overall experience on the safari, and will definitely be using Wamba again!

Super guide Joseph and cook Deo offered us a fine safari
5/5

We had realy a wonderfull 4 days safari. Many thanks for ou guide and cook. Joseph had very good contact with our two boys (aged 20 and 16). He spoke good english and had an easy way of having humor with our sons. He knew a lot about the culture and nature and was allways at the right spot to show us the wonderfull surroundings and animals off Serengetti, Nogrongoro and Tanangire. Our cook Deo provided us with good meals. His traditional Tanzanian Soup with bananas, we will never forget.
