I cannot imagine anything more beautiful than seeing these amazing creatures in this natural habitat
Charles Mpanda was an amazing tour guide. He came highly recommended by one our our friends, and I see why. He was very responsive with all communications, responded back to emails quickly. He worked with us to plan the perfect honeymoon safari in Tanzania that also fit in our budget. The accommodations were fantastic. He gave us many options from which we could choose. The people at all of the accommodation sites were warm, friendly, and very welcoming. The food at each site was delicious, and during the full day safaris in the Serengeti, Charles brought lunch boxes full of hearty and delicious food. It was enough to satisfy even a huge appetite.
Charles seemed to know all of the great places to find animals, and had the most amazing eye for spotting animals super far away that I would have never seen. We were able to see the Big 5 plus many many more. He spent adequate time stopping for us to see the animals. He was very knowledgable about the animals, the migration patterns, the people of the area, and had many stories about the area since it was an area in which he grew up. He arranged for a hot air balloon ride across the Serengeti. We were always on schedule for the things that needed to be scheduled, and he was flexible when flexibility was needed. He even arranged for me to have coffee from Kitamu coffee shipped to Dar-Es-Salaam after the safari was over!
I highly highly highly recommend Charles for your safari tour. Everything will be taken care of, and you will have an amazing time. It is completely worth the cost of the safari. I can't imagine having a better honeymoon trip. :)

Reliable, good attention to detail and fun
From the beginning Saso were professional and were easy to communicate with. They answered questions promptly and filled us with confidence. The trip itself went very smoothly with things planned ahead and organised. The safari drives were fun and the boat trip was a big plus point.

Judge a man by the team he leads
Andrews's team is first class. He has put together discrete, superbly capable people and combined them into an excellent team. The horses are phenominal: fit, desert-adapted and ever so willing. The entire safari was outstanding.

Exceeded my expectations
Not only did Migration Ventures live up to my expectations, but they exceeded it by a large amount. The communication could not have been better. The abundance and quality of food was outstanding. We had full blown meals and snacks. The cook did an amazing job. The server was very friendly and polite. The guides could not have been better. And last but not least, we would not have made it up the mountain without the porters. Everyone in the team deserves equal credit. There wasn't a single minute, where I saw an unhappy face. Everyone was so happy, which made our days a lot better. I would have not summit Mt. Kilimanjaro if it was not for this team in Migration Ventures. I highly recommend this company for your next Mt. Kilimanjaro trek.

Very professional in their service delivery and exceeded my expectations
Prompt on communication and provided great alternatives on destinations to pick from. The driver provided was very well conversant with the Mara and that boosted my confidence in Oakland Tours and Safaris.

Well organized budget safari
I traveled on a 3-day safari to Masai Mara in Kenya with a friend. I mainly communicated with Peter before the trip. He was very responsive and polite. I had some issues when paying, as American credit cards are not accepted. However, Peter was organized and communicated very efficiently while trying to figure out how to pay using another method. We also set up an airport transfer and a 1-day hotel stay before the safari, which was affordable and very easy.
Once I arrived in Nairobi, everything was already set up. I was picked up at the airport and dropped at the hotel. The next morning I was picked up by our driver, Francis, who would be our guide for the entire safari. The van was nice with seatbelts. As for the safari itself, we always left on time from our camp in Masai Mara and on our game drives we saw plenty of animals. Overall, if you are looking for a budget safari, book with Peter and Africa Flash Mc Tours!

family holiday
we thoroughly enjoyed our trip in Namibia! Stunning views and amazing hotels. The booking was simple and uncomplicated. The team understood what we wanted and made it happen; very simple and wonderfully efficient which is rare in Africa!! :) I was busy with work and had my family arriving from a different destination/flight...Dunas made it all easy, maps, directions, car rental, site-seeing suggestions,etc...it was exactly what we wanted. My husband joined as a surprise guest for the first 2 days..they arranged it all so that I didn't find out..perfect surprise for my birthday!!! - thank you Dunas' team for all the hard work and effort to make my trip with mother and sister memorable!!!

A facinating experience - not for the faint hearted but the achievement is well worth the effort
The staff were all friendly and approachable. Food was excellent - how such a varied menu is conjured from the kitchen wagon I'll never know. Horses in good order and well cared for. The riding was superb with many fast stretches that seemed to go on forever (especially if you are used to just cantering up a grass lane).
Overall a great experience riding the best horse I have ever ridden on any riding tour.
Thank you everyone.

Great trip of a lifetime seeing the African animals and culture.
First let me say that AA Africa was friendly, honest and reliable. We saw many tour vehicles that either had mechanical issues or the guide was really just a driver. Augustine was on our trip and knew all the animals and their histories. We saw all the major types of animals (lion, hippo, cheetah, leopard, rhino etc). The accommodations were first rate, the food was fine especially for westerners. All in all, a fantastic trip with lots to see and do. Take a good camera and one of the new video cameras. There is so much to see, that you forget some of them.
