Professional, quality safari that was the perfect family experience
There are numerous safari companies operating in the main Kruger Park and you realise the difference when you get there (quality of vehicles, size of tour group etc). I was very pleased we booked with Wildlife Safaris! We had Hoppy as a fantastic guide for our 5 day safari via the Panorama route. I believe the maximum group size is 6 but we were very lucky that it was just our family of 4 on the trip. That said, even with 6 people, the open sided safari vehicles are geared for 9 people so there is plenty of room to look in both directions. I fully recommend Wildlife Safaris

Lovely trip to Mikuni and Udzungwa
Mwajbu was wonderful to deal with. Provided great support and even organised flights to Zanzibar. The process of booking and logistics was very easy. Really enjoyed Mikuni National Park and Camp Bastian. Opted for a one hike in Udzungwa Mountains and it was just spectacular. Our driver was very helpful and the guide in Udzungwa was fantastic.

Best trip of our lives!
This was the absolute best trip we've ever taken! (and we've been on some pretty amazing trips). We always try to support local companies, and we were delighted to find out that AA Africa is one of the very few tour outfits whose owner/operator who is a native Tanzanian. Augustine Minja was our naturalist guide, and we found him to be not only incredibly knowledgeable (he really is a walking encyclopedia), but also extremely kind and witty and charming to be around. He also has very sharp eyes, and was able to find animals we never would have spotted on our own.
Augustine made our trip so special. It was a private trip, custom-designed for our personal preferences. He planned the trip so well; each day was better than the last, so we were always surprised by new and exciting experiences. The safari was so amazing! We saw so many animals, most of them up close and personal, making for awesome photos. While there is never a guarantee that one will see any specific animal, we were lucky enough to see every animal we could think of in Africa. Lions, cheetahs, wildebeests, leopards, elephants, rhinos, hippos, and the list goes on forever. It was absolutely amazing!
In addition to the wildlife parks, he also included time to discover the local people and villages, allowing us the opportunity to meet some locals and gain some insight into Tanzanian customs and lifestyles. His pride of his country and culture was obvious and we so appreciated this aspect of the trip.
The accommodations were surprisingly luxurious. We were very comfortable and very well fed.
I cannot praise AA Africa or Tanzania enough, and we would highly recommend them to anyone seeking an African adventure. The trip far exceeded our wildest expectations, and have made in Augustine a life-long friend.

It was the third time I booked with Cross Country Air Safaris. The service was as usual excellent. The staff is very experienced, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. The company is flexible in adding my personal wishes and lives up to my expectations. Cross Country Air Safaris is my travel company for Southern Africa.

A Fantastic Trip
We have just returned back from our 14 day trip to Victoria Falls, Kruger and CapeTown. Each place was a different experience ranging from the spectacular water falls to the fantastic safaris to the beautiful city and oceans. We couldnt have asked to squeeze more into one holiday. The entire trip was very efficiently organised by Pembury Tours and everything worked clock work from the time we arrived till we left .Special thanks goes out to Heidi who was extremely patient in getting it all together . Very prompt with her replies and adding great value to everything. We would love to be back and would happily use Pembury again and also recommend to our friends and family.

Absolutely Fantastic first visit to South Africa
Southern Africa Tours customized a wonderful 10-day tour for us, including visits to Cape Town, Kruger Park, and Victoria falls. Our complicated itinerary was massaged masterfully by Craig and his staff until we had a packed schedule of activities and visits. Everything went off to our complete satisfaction. We were particularly impressed as to how responsive Craig and Andrea were to our many questions before the trip and how quickly they followed up when we had questions during the tour. We were especially happy with Derek, our guide for the days we spent in Cape Town. He was supremely capable, competent, entertaining, helpful, personable, a great source of information, and a really nice guy. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and spending our Cape Town days with him. He really went out of his way for us. One of the nicest things was how he always arrived early and we sat down and discussed the day’s itinerary. He actually wanted to accommodate us, and not the other way around. Nevertheless, he still knew how to gently push to keep us on track and on time. For sure I will recommend Southern Africa Tours, and Derek by name, to anybody I talk to about South Africa. Thanks guys!!

Absolutely The Best Safari Experience You Could Ask For
From the very beginning of email communication to the end of our trip both owners and our guide Morris were very responsive, caring, and easy to work with. The trip went off without any problems, just as planned. The custom built truck is amazing, with every comfort feature you could imagine to make your Safari one of a kind. And my fiancé and I loved our guide Morris! His knowledge of South Africa, the Park, and every single animal was amazing and he has eyes like a hawk for spotting creatures. He was the most wonderful guide, easy to talk to, warm and friendly, and cooked great meals. If you can possibly request a guide, he is most definitely the one you want. Thank you for a most wonderful experience Armadillo Overland Safaris!! :-)

Mamaland Safaris is a great tour operator
We really enjoyed the Safari though Uganda and Rwanda with Mamaland Safaris. Our guide and driver, Moses, was extraordinary. With his skills we have been able to find many safari animals. As well he helped us very good with any questions and obstacles on the way. Since we haven't had so much budget, we were is most of the cases very happy with the accommandations. All great, thank you!
