Karina booked an amazing tour and was very professional and responsive throughout the process.
We just got back from South Africa and miss it already. Our trip was the best vacation I’ve had up to date. When booking a trip for Africa who knows where to start. I recommend Karina at Safari Online. She probably learn reading this review that I was in discussion with 2 other African Tour Operators when initially planning. Not only was Karina more responsive than then others. Her trip was the best value as well. For example, Karina planned a safari that was a 3 star lodge (Baobob) and a 5 star lodge (Simbabelli). The quotes from the other companies were the same price but included only a 3 star accommodation and 3-4 star accommodation. If I would’ve went with the competitor I would’ve missed out on the luxury service and accommodations Simbambelli provided.
As for the trip itself we went for 11 nights.
We flew into JHB and stayed at an awesome B&B- Sunrock Gueshouse. Place was awesome. Has everything you need. If you’re like us and only staying for one night the last thing you want to do is have to leave the BB to go get food or what not. Food was good and the setup was even better as the owners run the bar and are down to party or have a great conversation.
We flew from Hoeduspruit to Kruger the next day where we stayed at Baobab Ridge for three nights. Our room was awesome as it’s faces the watering hole. About 30 elephants came through during the day which we viewed from our personal balcony.
We had a two hour drive to Samambelli. The drive itself was interesting as we drove through some poverty stricken areas.
We arrived to Sabi sands our accommodations were next level. Definite 5 star feeling from the moment we arrived. Are room was magnificent as well as the public area. The food was amazing as well.
At both lodges we saw the “big five”. Leopards are more prone in Sabi sands. Elephants and giraffes were always around. We had the pleasure of seeing rhinos and lions. It was just amazing.
We finished the trip three nights in Capetown. It’s a cool city but if I had to do again I would’ve kept on the safari trek and flew to Victoria falls or another safari in a different country.
Overall this trip was a 10/10.

Beautiful expérience
The experience was wonderful with Ali and his team. The guide explained all the animal life to us and stopped each time so that we could take wonderful pictures of the animals. Special mention for Mister T who put us in the mood in the car!

Overall rating Kilimanjaro adventure
The Kilimanjaro day hike via Marangu route was our target after a 4 days safari with Tanzania Go Adventures.
Well experienced guide; Roger is absolutely fantastic guide. During the safari also we had a very good experience of wildlife and cultures especially the MAASAI and HADZABE tribes. Travel and you will learn a lot. I highly recommend this agency for your Tanzania trip.

Trip of a lifetime!
Six of us just finished the most amazing trip to Kenya provided by Spirit of Kenya. From pickup at the airport, through several day outings around Nairobi and through our nine day safari, everything was error free. We had planned to do the trip in 2021, but canceled at the last minute due to Covid fears. Their trip planner, Tiago, graciously rebooked the entire trip for this year. Our guide, George, was a flawless driver and had the eyes of an Eagle while on safari, seeing and identifying things that we had difficulty seeing with binoculars. Even though we chose only moderately priced hotels, all of the lodges exceeded our expectations many times over. The people everywhere were so friendly and took such good care of us. Our only complaint is that we all gained weight from all the great food!

3 days Great natural wonder adventure
In August 2022 we had a 3 days and 2 nights hike in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Park
The tour was organized Tanzania Go Adventures and all the details were perfect. They provided us a perfect team with driver and a very stunning tented camps in Serengeti and lodge in Karatu.
The safari experience was unique although the weather was tough during the afternoons with strong wind in Serengeti while heading to Ngorongoro. Still, the combination of landscapes, ecosystems and Animals is one of our highlights in our Tanzania trip. Thanks Zai for all the logistics.

Well-organized, exciting, and fascinating tour of Tsavo East and West
Our driver Said picked us up precisely at the agreed time and location. From then on, everything else went just as smoothly. He speaks Swahili and English very well and also a bit of German and is happy to explain everything about the park, animals, and also the Mombasa area in general. He also explains where and when you are heading next at every stop, which makes it easy to follow the tours organization throughout.
During our three days, we saw the Big 5 and then some: lots of elephants and giraffes, buffalo, gazelles, lions, a leopard, cheetahs, hippos, a rhino, and many more. Over night we stayed at Sentrim lodge and Man Eaters lodge, both of which had very comfortable tents/houses and great food (especially the former). We eat vegan and were impressed with the quality of the vegan options. For everyone else, there were also multiple meat-based options.
We feel that the price was reasonable (470 euros per person for a private van) and also had a comforting experience with the payment (bank transfer, 20% deposit up front, the rest on the first day of the safari). During the tour, money is basically not an issue as everything has been handled before your arrival and you only need to pay for extra drinks.
We would absolutely recommend KingTomondo and our driver Said to everyone looking to book a safari.
