Great team, great flexibility
We did an amazing 10 day round trip in Uganda with Standard Safaris, visited Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elisabeth National Park, Kibale Forest, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Lake Victoria. All the destinations are worth visiting, since they offer unique scenery, flora and fauna. Uganda is a beautiful and versatile country to visit in Africa, highly recommended to anyone. If I had a chance to return, I would definitely choose the team of Standard Safaris!

Unsurpassed Service and Support from Start to Finish
Traipsing Africa’s Safaris receives my highest recommendation. During the beginning stages of planning a trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe I quickly learned that it isn’t easy finding information about Zimbabwe safaris, communication can be slow, and booking online isn’t always an option. Enter Sandra from Traipsing who made everything so easy! Firstly, Sandra’s knowledge and expertise helped me narrow down the many options. Secondly, she was able to secure a special rate that allowed us to stay at the 5 star The Hide Camp in Hwange National Park. The Hide is utterly amazing and I would never have considered it thinking that it was out of our price range! Sandra made the payment process as simple and easy as possible. Sandra organized ground transportation and it was a seamless and comfortable journey to The Hide through Victoria Falls. Communication with Sandra was superb and she periodically checked in via email during the holiday just to see if there was anything she could assist with and there was!! There were so many unknowns and we had questions about travel and testing requirements during the COVID pandemic and Sandra being on the ground in South Africa was able to get us the information we needed. I have no doubt that our holiday was more amazing because of Sandra’s advice and suggestions! Having lived in South Africa I thought I could plan and book everything myself - I now would recommend to anyone traveling to Africa that they partake of the expertise a travel agent offers to enhance your adventure. I highly recommend Traipsing Africa’s Safaris and am so glad that we booked through them.

Great safari company!
We had a great time on safari through Shemeji! From planning to to actual trip, it was very well organized and we never felt rushed. Emma was very quick to respond on scheduling and planning before the trip. Very helpful in all the documentation needed to enter Tanzania. Our guide (Adson) and our chef (Godson) were awesome as well. We did end up seeing the Big 5 on the last day of our safari thanks to our guide Adson and his great eyes! Going to Zanzibar was a great way to relax and cap off the trip. It was beautiful and all the locals were very friendly. If you're looking to go on a safari, I would definitely recommend going through Shemeji.

Wonderful vacation and service.
We loved our Africa vacation. Despite the airline schedule changes involved the whole itinerary went smoothly thanks to our travel consultant Matthys Van Aswegan who monitored our connections so we could fully enjoy each destination. Our Sabi Sands Game Reserve Safari and Victoria Falls visit was breathtaking and mesmerizing. Each lodge was over the top with a wonderful staff. Hopefully, someday, we will be able to return!

Darren and Kate are extreme thorough and thoughtful as they help you plan your adventure
Overall, Sarah and I had an incredible time on our safari. Traveling right now is not easy to say the least, but I assure you that you are in good hands with Compass Odyssey. From the day we arrived, to the day we left everything went smoothly. Compass even went as far as to arrange a place for us to rest after our international flight as we waited to start our adventure. As complicated as traveling can be right with testing, all of this went smoothly and was pre-booked to reduce stress and concern. I would highly recommend using Compass Odyssey for your safari needs.

If you want your Safari experience to be perfect, you must chose an outfitter that is both professional and a fantastic tour handler.
Bobby Camping Safaris in Tanzania is one of the best companies I have ever went on a Safari trip with.

If it's a tour in Tanzania, then Lion King Adventures is who you should choose!
Lion King Adventures were absolutely amazing right from the beginning. Prompt communication, keeping the client's needs in mind, flexible with plans, courteous, helpful, and everything else one would ask for in a service provider. They planned every little detail of our trip, were patient with all our requests and made adjustments to meet all our requirements. The hotels they organised and the guide they gave us were both extraordinary. The guide, Richard, was truly the most extraordinary part of our trip. He made our safari experiences absolutely out of this world. Our 11 year old son will forever treat Richard like a friend and family because that is how Richard is. Friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and very persistent. He makes every effort to fulfill the client's request. We were able to see a mother cheetah and her cub get their kill and enjoying it, leopards climbing trees, lots of lion prides, innumerable giraffes, zebras, and so many other animals. We were truly blessed to have Richard who helped us see, and enjoy the Great Migration. Thank you so much Lion King Adventures.

Outstanding, worldclass customer service, responsive, knowledgeable guide, exceeded expectations
Nature Travel Namibia is a world-class tour operator that provided excellent value for the money spent. Nicolette Muller, our tour organizer and coordinator was excellent and responsive. While in the USA I got responses within time zone differences, while in Namibia, responses were in real-time, and believe me you will need real-time support when your airline changes flights at apparently random times when you do not have Internet access or things happen beyond your control (provide your booking login details including passwords to Nicolette). Nicolette's response was the main reason for deciding to select Nature Travel Namibia, but it just got better from there. My guide and driver Marc Cronje was outstanding; he was friendly, very knowledgeable, and flexible; the hours spent in the car with Marc were filled with interesting discussions and an informal discourse on birds (by the way Namibia has some amazing birds). The tour was customized for me as a single traveler, another feather in Nature Travel Namibia's cap (in fact it is a group of companies that does bird watching - Nature Travel Birding, NT Kruger, NT Africa, etc.). One of my requirements was to visit dark sky locations, since Namibia has one of the darkest night skies in the world; consequently, the first several nights were catered to dark sky and Southern Milkyway viewing in Keetmanshoop, Sossuss Dune Lodge, and Star Dune Camp. I was told that Nicolette has personally visited the lodges she recommends, which is a huge plus. The accommodations (I chose mid-range) as chosen by Nicolette were outstanding. I spent 16 days in Namibia, and this was my second trip to African in two decades, and I was totally blown away by the experience and the efficiency of the tour operator. In summary if you are looking for a tour operator to visit Namibia (or Kruger in South Africa, or for birdwatching anywhere in the world), without reservations I highly recommend Nature Travel Namibia or the Nature Travel Group of companies. I did go in time of the COVID situation, and though Namibia is on the USA travel.gov "do not travel list", it is safer than many cities in the USA; all individuals everywhere in Namibia use masks and hand sanitizers and the population density is much lower than any of the major metros in USA. As a final disclaimer: I was neither paid nor coerced into writing this review, and the words are all my own. Hope you enjoy your upcoming trip wherever it may take you. Cheers!

A MUST do on your Kenia Trip!
A really nice experience to see all the animals and the nature very close! Our driver really made the most out of it and made the trip unforgettable, thanks to Jonathan:-)!
It really is worth the money, it is something you will NOT get somewhere else! All in all very nice!
