Unforgettable safari in Amboseli and Tsavo East with Said
We started our trip in Nairobi, stopped at Amboseli and Tsavo East on the way to Diani Beach. Our driver Said was a friendly and experienced driver who shared lots of information about the wildlife. The lodges were high quality with tasty food. We have seen the big-five except the leopard. We have seen from 100m that a group of Lion kill a buffalo. Said was always communicating with other safari drivers on the CB radio during the game driver so we could quickly drive to a place where something interesting was going on. We would book other safaris with KingTomondo and Said without hesitation as they gave us an unforgettable experience.

Great option
If you are looking for a Namibia tour, you can't go wrong with Blue Crane.
I did an accommodated tour, so some details below might not apply to other kinds of tours, but the overall quality of Blue Crane should be valid for all kinds of tours.
Derek, the travel planner, was always very responsive, from the first contact until the days before the trip started. Emails were replied quickly and all questions answered. Our trip had to be postponed twice due to COVID, and this was handled seamlessly.
Once the trip started, everything went smoothly. Our driver/guide Me-Gusto was very knowledgeable, passionate about his work, helpful and patient, and this certainly contributed to a great trip.
The lodges and hotels were always good ones, and the lunch stops (or even bathroom breaks) were also carefully chosen.
One thing to be aware of is that the days are full: we always left the lodges at 8:00 or earlier, and generally would only arrive at the next accomodation shortly before dinner (and usually behind schedule - it seems the stops along the way end up taking more time than planned), so there isn't much downtime. It's a lot of driving (Namibia is a big country), but the roads are good (even the gravel ones) and our tour vehicle was comfortable enough.

I strongly recommend Moonlight Safaris. They deliver a great service.
Moonlight Safaris are treasure if you are going to Botswana. They are doing their jobs with love so they shown us everything that we asked for. We have a chance for 6 days to 9 times leopards.
I strongly recommend Bogosi from Moonlight Safaris. He is doing great job.

Thanks to Luitours, our first safari was a great experience
My friend and I visited Tanzania and wanted to experience a safari for the first time. The choice fell on a 3 day/2 night tour to Nyerere National Park with accommodation at Africa Safari Selous. Although our budgets were relatively low and the tour was among the lower price ranges we could find, we had a wonderful experience with Luitours. Their service was impeccable from the beginning - We received a tour proposal very fast after requesting it, and Ibrahim was very helpful with facilitating and answering our question before departure. We were picked up and delivered at our hotel in Dar Es Salaam right on time by a very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy driver, who was also our guide throughout the tour. He had a good eye for spotting animals and made us feel safe the entire time. All in all everything went smoothly, the tour itself was as expected and we got what we paid for. Would highly recommend this company.

A dream safari
My daughter and I have just returned from an amazing 12 day safari booked with Rose owner of Hyrax Safaris. Everything was so well organised and all the accommodation exceeded our expectations. Our driver/guide Ben was very experienced, professional, a lovely person and made a big effort for us to see the best of the wildlife which we did. Hyrax is a professional, local company in Kenya which should be supported. We wish Rose and Ben every success. Ashley & Claudia

Professional team!
We got in touch by email and then via WhatsApp. They answered us very quickly.
They even came to get the money at our campsite, because we couldn't move our van.
We spent a full day in the national park with a very nice and professional guide. He allowed us to see the usual wildlife and even a group of lions, and even 2 leopards! Sure, we have been a lot lucky... But the guide knew a lot of things about the animals and proficient to guess where we could try to meet them.
We had an unforgettable experience!

Wonderful safari experience
Wonderful safari experience with our guide (Siya, BAHATI SAFAIRI'S manager) and his cook (Hamad). Both are great guys, simple and professional. Every day we had nice breakfast, lunch and diners made by Hamad. We had one breakfast and one lunch in the middle of nowhere (we agreed to it, always on safe places). The lodge booked by Siya was align with our expectations. As proposed by Siya, we recommend having only one place to stay. It simplifies logistics for all gives more time for the safari game.Every days Siya found animals to observe, most of the time we were few vehicles at the same place, several times we were alone with lions, cheetahs, zebras or giraffes. It was just unbelievable. We saw a tribe of 100 to 200 elephants, an ongoing line of gnus and zebra migrating to SERENTI, a 7 lions family resting in the middle of nowhere, lots of cheetahs, lots of zebras, gazelles, impalas, buffalos, hyenas and hippopotamus. We also saw a rhinoceros (using binoculars), a wild cat, leopards, flamingos, and lots of different birds.On top of the safari, Siya organize the airport pick-up (at Kilimajaro), the first hotel night, a Massai village visit and a local village visit. In total, we spend 3 days and nights in SERENGETI and one day in NGORONGO crater. For our family (4 people) it was the perfect timing.
