Joyful in every way!
Rodgers was our guide for Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe NP and a sundowner on the Chobe River.
He is a very experienced guide and has excellent knowledge of wildlife and their behaviour.
He does not need a road map while driving his jeep, he knows even the smallest dirt roads by heart.
Rodgers has an open safari jeep that allows everybody to take nice pictures. The seats are very comfortable, and there is a secure space to store all your belongings far away from dust. You can even charge your cameras as his jeep is equipped with charging outlets. The fridge offers cool drinks that are very welcoming in the African heat. You can see Rodgers is very proud of his jeep as it is kept in a very prestine condition.
As he guided us around, you could feel that he will never stop loving his job. Surrounded by wildlife in picturesque Botswana, that is where Rodgers happiness lies. To have such an office must have been a dream come true!
Rodgers and his everlasting smile, we will never forget about him.
Keep up the good work Rodgers!
Wishing you a lot of adventurous tours in 2018!
If you are not sure about which guide to choose, you should definitely go for Rodgers!

A Safari 10 years in the making
An Amazing Experience! 10 years ago my parents promise me a trip to their birth country of Tanzania and it was definitely worth the wait. We booked all of our flights and accommodations on our own since I calculated it to be much more affordable that way the only issue that remained was need a Safari tour to Ngorongoro Crater. After contacting several companies who denied us service b/c accommodation and flights were already done, only a few options remained. We decided to go with Rajabu and his team from Raja Travels b/c he gave us the most reasonable quotation and the majority of his reviews were good and boy was everyone right. From the minute we exited the Kilimanjaro Airport we were immediately greeted at arrivals by Rajabu (the owner) and Freddy our tour guide and driver and taken to our hotel. The next morning we took off for the game parks. Freddy was prompt and arrived on time. My dad requested we make some stops in Arusha before we made our 4hr drive to the park and Freddy happily obliged. After reaching our hotel at Ngorongoro we called it a night. Freddy met us early the next morning with lunch in hand and we headed to the bottom of the crater. As the animals began to appear Freddy began stating some interesting facts about the animals and the crater. AS the day went on Freddy made an active effort into ensuring we saw as many animals as possible. He was able to track down 2 rhinos from afar, a very rare sighting. We left the park that evening only when we were ready too, we never felt rushed. The next day we headed back to Arusha completing our safari, but my dad make another special request last minute and Freddy without hesitation said yes. He took us to another park, Lake Manyara for a few hrs. After reaching Arusha we said by to Freddy, but also asked if he knew a local diver or taxi for hire since we had 1 extra day in Arusha. He simply asked what time we wanted to venture in town the next morning and said he would arrange it all and negotiate a price. Another driver showed up the next morning on time and took us where ever we needed.
Overall the experience with the Raja Travels tour team was amazing and was beyond what I expected. Communication was never an issue as they spoke English. They really do care about your overall experience. From pick up to drop off at the airport there was never and issue. I plan on heading back soon for another Safari and with no doubt will be contacting Rajabu at Raja Travels.

Our guide, Mussa was very knowledgeable about all the animals and gave us a great tour!
Our guide, Mussa welcomed us upon arrival, listened to our requests, and customized the tour for us- he was absolutely wonderful. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about the animals, and he shared that knowledge with us. What struck me most is what a conservationist he is- he has so much respect for the land and the wild things in it. I trusted Mussa from early on and felt very safe with him- he knew how close we could get while staying safe and respecting the animals. This company did not disappoint, and when i go back for safari again with my son, I will use this same company.

Competent and reliable company
I was on a 15 days long tour (South Africa + Zimbabwe) with a big group (30 pax). We spent 8 days in Zimbabwe starting with Great Zimbabwe ruins and ending our tour at Victoria Falls. All 8 days were full of positive emotions - we saw a lot, we experienced a lot - safari drives in National parks, rhino trecking, enjoyed beautiful scenary and delicious meals. Our guide Fungayi was a real professional, he provided a lot of well selected information, all activities were on time, all our requests (local markets, visiting local farmers houses etc) were accepted. Also extra activities (eg Sunset cruise on the river Zambezi) were organized very well. Everything went even better than we expected!
Thank you Fungayi and Afro Honeyguide!

Very pleasing experience of cooperation; flexible and respectful attitude to the client.
In the middle of December I went to my first 10-days safary with Sirini Safaris. That has been an experience I 'd like to suggest for everybody! I discovered that the safari is a very special way to realize the interest of nature. Incredibly colorful landscapes and African animals in the natural environment! That was a breathtakingly beautiful and an enjoyable experience! I enjoyed the nature and animals from different perspectives; from high up (balloon ride) and from close distances (safari car). It was a new and surreal experience to sleep in a tent, where only thin tent cloth stood between me and buffalo.I was so excited that it took me time to discover that Sirini Safari team and Deo were taking care of the practical side of the journey while I was in the emotional periphery. I would say the entire journey was very well organized. Every new day brought something extraordinary, new experiences and knowledge. The selection of camp places were special and very convenient, including the experience of the talking shower. Thank you Sirin Safaris and Deo for your stories and interpretations of wildlife!

Great experience
I had a great experience with Gatatu during my time in Uganda.
Richard was helpful from the very beginning and patiently answered every question that I asked.
He's also a really pleasant person to talk to, too.
Steven was an experienced driver, he mastered the rocky roads with ease.
After the Safari he even drove me to the border with Rwanda and organised for me
a taxi to Kigali which I really appreciated.
I got to see the whole family of gorillas and that made my adventures in Uganda even more amazing
and unforgettable. I'm glad to be the first Vietnamese to ever book a Safari with Gatatu.

Amazing Honeymoon in Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar Island
My husband and I spent 9 days with Regional Tours & Safaris and we had an incredible time Novatius as a driver guide all around Tanzania. He is so knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely loves his job. While nature is nature and you can't be guaranteed to see "everything", Novatius made a huge effort to show us every animal we wanted to see, and as a result we were lucky to catch unique moments like the great wildebeest migration! He was so patient and would let us watch animals for as long as we wanted - at no point did we feel rushed to move on.
When planning the trip, Maturaf at the office was incredibly patient and helpful, answering our million questions and willing to adapt the itinerary to our needs and budget. In the end he designed the perfect trip for us that included 7 days on Luxury Tented camp safari and 4 days in Zanzibar. It made our honeymoon effortless!
I'd highly recommend planning your safari with Augustine. You will not only learn a lot about Tanzanian wildlife, but you will leave with a friend for life!

Ease of Dealing with the Company: 5*
Accommodation: 5*
Vehicle: 5*

An Awesome Experience!
Our three-day trip to the Maasai Mara definitely exceeded all our expectations. Karanja’s keen eyesight and expert knowledge meant we were always seeing different animals and learning more about them. He really went out of the way to ensure that we had the most memorable experience possible.
Accommodation was spectacular, emails were answered really fast and everything worked out great. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
