Fantastic guide, fantastic time
Danson was an incredible guide and made our experience unforgettable. All accommodation and meals were outstanding and we couldn't have asked for more on our game drives.

A spectacular weekend and spectacular service
I only had two nights free for a side-trip to Kruger national park, and not much time to organise it. Giada at Safari.com took the challenge in hand, gathering my requirements and providing options to choose from almost the same day (only time zones caused the delay!). She organised flights to fit with my pre-booked business trip, car transfers to and from the airport and a stay at Lukimbi lodge - I didn't have to organise a thing. Any questions were answered straight away, and when one of my flights experienced a delay, a quick call to Giada meant that the transfer was rescheduled and the accommodation notified on my behalf.
Staying at Lukimbi was a great choice - the 5 star lodge is in a private concession within Kruger National Park. The rooms are amazing, with views straight out over a waterhole and wildlife everywhere. The lodge organises two game drives at dawn and dusk each day, plus a guided walk (all activities optional), with all meals included (delicious and plentiful). Guests are allocated into small groups with a dedicated ranger and tracker, so you get to know each other over the course of your stay, and have different experiences each day. The private concession means this area of the park is not open to the general public and there are far fewer vehicles around. My visit was right at the end of the dry season - the landscape was dry and stark but stunningly beautiful, and full of all the wildlife you'd want to see. I only wish I'd had longer to enjoy it. All the staff at Lukimbi were amazing. As a solo female traveler I felt comfortable and well looked after throughout my trip.

It is a one-in-a-life time journey
Me and my friend had a great time with Wildebeest crew members during this trip. Our plane was delayed and Noah helped us with re-arranging all the hotel bookings, we were a bit sad that we missed the first day but all in all our trip was quite smooth. we had two drivers, Sydney in Kenya, and Enocky in Tanzania. Sydney was very experienced, we saw a big family of lions and baby lions, a family of hippos, rhinos, giraffes and other small creatures. We seem to have missed the great migration since all the wildebeests are already in kenya, so many of them....that was an amazing view.
We quite happy with the hotel arrangements, not cheap though hahaha . I love the Sopa one on the top of the mountain with great great view. the only regret is that because of the delay of our flight we didnt have more time. we would like to book wildebeest again if we are planning another safaris trip next time.

Great people. Great service. Great itinerary.
My colleagues and I have used Intek for a couple of short trips in Uganda, and have always enjoyed ourselves. The staff is great in developing the itinerary to match our interests and preferences. And the trip itself is fun and well organized. Add to that Uganda's natural beauty, and you have a superb recipe. I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity.

Superb
We had an excellent trip from start to finish. Xavier picked us up promptly at our accommodation in Entebbe and transported us to QENP with a brief stop for chicken takeaway lunch!
Our accommodation at Marafiki lodge was first class. Excellent rooms, hot showers and really good food. The views were awesome!
The safaris themselves were absolutely first class. Xavier is a brilliant guide, a safe driver, thoroughly knowledgable and very good fun! He ensured we had the best opportunity possible of seeing all the predators. We weren't disappointed.
Xavier dropped us at our hotel in Kampala via a lovely stop for lunch at the Igongo cultural centre.
I would totally recommend using Xavier for an East African Safari. You're in good hands!

Fantastic 7-day Northern Tanzania safari with Lawrence
Me and wife had a great 7-day Northern Tanzania tailor-made safari, covering Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with our tour guide Lawrance. We have seen Big 5 and covered all the great parts on the national parks we visited. Also visited Masai village, Olduvai Gorge and had a walking safari on Arusha NP.
I started planning the safari just 2 weeks before arrival, which is not usual comparing to advised 6-months ahead the forum. Walter always responded quick & promptly to my questions and made changes on the itinerary. This had been the decision factor against the other options.
I always felt that the change on the itinerary was fair. He assured me that everything will go as planned, although the international payment made to their account the day before arrival.
Lawrence, our tour guide with us for 7 days and more than 700km, has more than 15 years experience on doing safari on the visited national parks. He treated us as his close friend and take care of us for all needs. He was absolutely fantastic. Spotted animals which is really hard to see. In one case we had been the first car to spot the hiding leopard, which is 100 meters far from us, on Serengeti NP. In a short time more than 10 car happened to be there. Same happened for cheetahs and rhinos as well. He give brief information on each wild animal that we have seen for the first time. Had all trust on him to be showing us the wildlife we are keen to see.
Every day he asked if any special arrangement needs to be made, if we are keen to see a specific animal and suggested a change on the itinerary which helped us to spend more time on Ngorongoro NP than planned one.
I am happy to suggest Galloping Safari and especially our tour guide Lawrence for a great safari.
Sukhran Lawrence Baba. :)

8 day,3 camp Botswana safari organised by SS was excellent and seamless
Safari Specialists were very responsive from our first communication to the last. I found the service provided by Joanne and the whole team exceeded our expectations. They put together a bespoke tour for my wife and I
which we could not fault. The camps they suggested were great , connections seamless . I cannot recommend them more highly.

truly the best exprience
All services were delivered with high standards, security and support. We couldn't have had the same experience if they hadn't been so cooperative. We didn't face major issues we were very happy with the service and itinerary.
