Great Communication
We sadly had to cancel our trip with Mama Savana due to COVID border closures however we really appreciated Alex’s communication throughout the past few years. In booking the trip Alex was very responsive and accommodating to my requests. Finally when it became apparent we wouldn’t be allowed to travel over, we were able to come to an agreement which suited all parties. We understood that Mama Savana is a small operator who would see tough times in the year ahead, they understood that we were a family with a new baby who couldn’t travel any time soon and very much needed the funds to tide us over. As such, we ended up splitting the deposit. I appreciate Alex’s willingness to work with us to come to an arrangement which was fair and suited everyone. Great customer service!

Private luxury tour
Excellent safari with my friends, we all enjoyed my birthday party in Kenya and thanks for the party surprise and cultural dance. We love the Fairmont Mara Camp, we had our own deck and morning tea served in our deck. The hippos were making noise, experience was memorable. We saw a lot of animals in Ol Pejeta, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Thank you very much for all these!

Amazing experience
Amazing day, Hell’s gate was amazing with incredible landscapes and animals. Then the cruise on Lake Naivasha was the best way to end the day.
I’ll be back for sure!! Thanks Felix, you’re the best !!

Simply Amazing! The best service one can wish for.
Incredible 10-day safari at Maasai Mara
This was our third trip with Africa Safari Classics, and as usual everything was excellent. Maurice helped us plan the trip on quite short notice, and his recommendations were just perfect. All the camps had incredible accommodation and service, lovely and kind staff and very well located for game drives.
Maurice was on top of everything, calling us on texting to ensure things were running smoothly as per plan. He even took the time to come to meet at the hotel before departing to the reserve. And this was on a Sunday!
I can’t recommend Africa Safari Classics enough. They have the knowledge, the experience and always strive for the best quality. And at affordable prices.
Special mentioned to our guide and driver, Peter. He was the best! Not only does he have an incredible knowledge of the wildlife but also, he is the most patience, respectful and understanding guide you can wish for. He was always willing to give us more time with the animals, share his knowledge, accommodate the day based on our preferences. Honestly, this trip would have not been so good without him! 5 stars also for Peter!

An unforgettable adventure!
If someone asks us - what was one of the best days of your life? - No doubts: the day we spent on safari with African Ambition Tours. Everything was organized amazingly accurately, comfortably, professionally. Starting from the planning of our trip (recommendations, advices, communication thru messangers - many thanks for Galina!) and ending with the trip itself, the Ngorongoro Park, the most beautiful views of wildlife and animals, which were shown to us in all its glory by a real professional and a wonderful person, a guide and the founder of the company - Dismas. He made our trip and the first safari unique and unforgettable, such that we flew away with the idea to visit these places again and explore other national parks together with African Ambition Tours. Also we were impressed by the incredibly cozy and comfortable hotels in Arusha and Karatu, delicious food and real safari off-roader (which we never tried before) and which was only for us! Highly reccomend African Ambition Tours! p.s. Dismas, little Barbara one more time saying "thank you for giraffes!" :)))

Diverse and comprehensive tour around all of Zimbabwe
We are a family of four -- my wife, our two kids aged 3 and 9, and myself. We live in Europe and have just returned from a 3.5 week long tour in Zimbabwe. The entire tour was organized by Forche Tours and Travel, specifically Mr. Fortune Ndlovu. I contacted Forche Tours and Travel, as well as 5 other safari/tour companies in Zimbabwe, only about 4 weeks prior to our planned trip and gave them a rough idea of what we're hoping to see and where to do. All companies I communicated with were quite forthcoming and eager to please, so I ended up creating a rough itinerary on my own and sent the same routing/schedule to everyone to get a sense of feasibility and cost. At that point, three companies stopped being responsive, and three provided quotes but two were quite high and required a number of sacrifices to be made in terms of quality and time. Only Mr. Fortune's messages genuinely seem to be focused on our own wishes and budget and I felt that he was the only person I communicated with who really wanted to help us be able to afford the trip and make something special happen, rather than just "plug" us into a tour template and make as much money as possible. So, we ended up going with Mr. Fortune and his Forche tours. We paid a deposit of 10% online through his website and paid the remainder all in cash when we actually arrived in Harare. Mr. Fortune picked us up on arrival and stayed with us for 24 days as he drove us around all of Zimbabwe and organized the trip and activities at every step. Essentially, it was like having a private driver and concierge with us all the time so that we could focus only on enjoyment, new experiences, and learning. The latter was especially important to me and I was extremely pleased to see that Mr. Fortune is very well-spoken, educated, informed, and insightful -- he was able to answer all my questions and discuss complex topics, from animal behaviour to history of different ethnic groups in Zimbabwe to diversity of religions, complexities of politics, environmental and climate change issues -- it was really incredibly informative and interesting. Our routing was roughly Harare--Mana Pools--Imire--Nyanga--Gonarezhou--Great Zimbabwe--Matopos---Hwange--Victoria Falls and we thought it was a really good combination of game drives, village visits, cultural and historical sites, ruins, natural beauty and geological wonders, quite a bit of everything. Our accommodations were great everywhere, food excellent, activities amazing. All in all, we're very happy with our trip and the way it was organized by Forche Tours and Travel and implemented by Mr. Fortune who was with us the whole way. Zimbabwe is a fascinating and an incredibly safe country and we would highly recommend everyone to visit it and when doing so, to feel confident in traveling with Forche Tours and Travel.
