Fantastic honeymoon in Netherlands/Kenya/France!
We couldn't be more happy with our experience with Tom at Wayfairer Travel! We knew we wanted our honeymoon to include a safari and emailed many travel companies to get a quote; Tom was the only one (out of many!) to take the time to ask us exactly what we wanted and what aspects were important to us. He was also very respectful of our budget and gave us some fantastic recommendations on how to organize our trip to get the most bang for our buck. The two places he picked for us (Basecamp Explorer and Waterlovers Beach Resort) were phenomenal; the service and experiences at both places were top notch. The entire process of organizing our trip and booking was seamless and easy, even with the time difference. Highly, highly recommend!

Great experience!
I was on vacation in abu dhabi, where my brother lives. And i wanted to go on a safari from their on. A friend of my brother got my in touch with them and from the beginning the contact and service was great!
I’ve been in Tanzania for 5 days. The picked me up from Kilimanjaro airport and brought me to Arusha. I slept in arusha for the night in a good hotel for a good price! The next morning they took me to the camp near all the parks. Everything was arranged great! I had no worries, i felt safe and most important it was on of the best vacations ever! Also during the vacation. I noticed that i had 1 day to kill and i didnt have a place to sleep. So i asker them if they could book an extra night for me in the hotel. That was no problem and they arranged everything for me!
I highly recommend foot slopes to everybody! A great tour operator for a good prixe!

Our holiday was - thanks to Tammy and her excellent service - a great experience!
We had so many wishes and requests (that house in Knysna, this golf course at that date and so on ... :-))), even some short-term changes we made after having already arrived! And Tammy and her collegues at Pembury Tours managed to arrange all our accomodations, means of transports - without any complaints or problems. Thanks to Tammy and her collegues, we had a really memorable and wonderful holiday. I would really recommend to contact them when planning a trip to South Africa!

Fantastic Safari and tour, knowledgable team, good value for money, great accomodation - 5 STAR
From the outset Maranatha Tours were helpful, they listened to our needs and made great recommendations to ensure that our family holiday was 5 STAR. Our driver Edgar was very knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and a great additional member of the family for the duration of our trip. He is a superb game driver and was often the first to spot a variety of animals. The team back in the office communicated well and were efficient and helpful, often securing us the best accommodation at a good price. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Spectacular Soul of Tanzania adventure
For years I had dreamed of experiencing a safari in Tanzania. Never in my wildest dreams, however, did I ever imagine what an incredible experience it would turn out to be!
As soon as I booked with Soul of Tanzania, I knew I had chosen the best company out there! All emails and the many questions I had were always promptly answered by Iris, Miguel, Francis or Rachel. The vehicles were top of the line very well maintained, clean and comfortable. Thanks to Ben, who was our fantastic guide, we always started each morning with spotless windows (which provided excellent viewing throughout the day) and a full refrigerator on board. Ben served fabulous lunches...not only hot and delicious, but served using real plates, silverware, and goblets for the chilled wine no matter where our lunch spot may be. (Yes, you heard that right...we enjoyed chilled wine in silver goblets!) We were often the envy of many who passed by our table. It was an unbelievable experience.
Now, let's talk a little more about our man Ben! He was one of the most amazing parts of our entire trip. He blended into our group like family. He never failed to go the extra mile for us. He was funny, enthusiastic, informative, and made the most amazing coffee imaginable. Even those in our party who were not coffee drinkers suddenly could not get enough of Ben's creation! He not only made sure we had the best views when we came across animals, but he was also very willing to share information and sightings with others guides and their clients as we passed along the way.
I truly can't imagine having a more spectacular Tanzanian adventure than the one I experienced with Soul of Tanzania. It was just perfect. So if you are searching for a company that will provide an unforgettable experience, look no further. Soul of Tanzania is the company for you!

Experience of a lifetime!
This was indeed the trip of a lifetime! I travelled with my daughters to Tanzania after booking with the Safari Partners and Chris took care of every detail. Every part of our trip went smoothly so we were able to fully enjoy our experience without a worry.
The accommodations were stunning, with gorgeous backdrops of the African landscape. All the staff were friendly, helpful and we were well taken care of. Our guide on safari was very knowledgable, personable and an excellent driver! We were able to see the " big five " , as well as so many other animal and bird species.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Safari Partners and very much hope to be able to return to Africa some day.

Great Safari with Lion King
Hello,
We've been on a private Safari tour with Lion King between 18/10 and 22/10: Manyara Lake, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater.
Before the departure, Anna answered to all our questions very quickly and managed the organisation from our arrival in Kilimanjaro until our departure to Zanzibar, it makes us feel very confident with the company and the organisation.
And during the Safari, Anna came to say hello which was very nice.
As soon as we have landed, a driver was waiting for us to bring us to an hotel in Arusha for the first night before the Safari (very clean and fully equipped).
After the breakfast Salim (our guide/driver) and Karim (our Chef) picked us up to start the Safari.
From this moment they managed everything perfectly to make our tour comfortable.
Salim was very kind to us.
He knows a lot of other guides so in the park he used his network to know were the animals were, plus he was able to spot animals we would have missed, and he showed us a lot (zebras, wild beasts, lions, leopards, guepards, hyenas, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, servals, chacals, ...)
In addition he was speaking French which was a very good surprise to us.
Karim cooked for us all the tour (breakfast/ lunch/ dinner) and we have eaten very good. Note we took a budget tour so the campsite were pretty simple (just tents and toilets) which makes the work of Karim even harder and what he was able to cook was excellent.
(By the way, if you are going for a budget tour, note it might be cold at night in the Serengeti and the Nogorongoro)
During the game drive, Salim used to go in different places than the other 4x4, it allowed us to be just us on a lake with a lot of flamingoes or again just us with 2 lions (male and female),... He knows the parks very well and was able to show us amazing landscapes.
This tour was really an incredible experience we will never forget thanks to Salim and Karim.
Many thanks again to the staff,
Maxime & Audrey
