Hidden gem of a company!
Honestly, my husband and I were skeptical about letting someone else plan our honeymoon...let alone a company with a handful of reviews found online. BUT...E-Trip Africa ended up being such a wonderful decision. Ben helped with all of the planning, and Nick our guide/driver was excellent. We were taken care of from the beginning with all of my questions about what to pack, how much money to bring, etc. Ben was patient and made sure to follow up with me and worked with our budget to be able to get us the honeymoon we had imagined. I would recommend them with no hesitations!

Wonderful experience in South Africa!!!
Wild Wings Safaris is a very responsible and serious company. Mike was our contact and understood from the beginning what we were looking for. He arranged the trip exactly as we wanted it. Then everything was perfect in South Africa. All accomodations, transfers and excursions were as planned. We had no problems during the trip!
We are very happy and satisfied with our holiday in South Africa. It's a wonderful country with very friendly people!
Although all the guides were very good, we want to make a special mention for Neil and Cas. We really enjoyed and learned a lot with them.
Despite being the worst time of year to go to Kruger, Neil did his best to spot all the animals. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, white rhinos, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, hyenas, wild dogs and much more. We just missed seeing a leopard. Neil is also an excellent cook!
Cas is a perfect guide. She speaks very clearly. And she made great recommendations during the Garden Route tour.
In conclusion, we strongly recommend Wild Wings.

See the Big Five!
Everything was well organized, our driver did a good and safe job and he had eagle eyes - we saw all of the Big Five and even more. I really recommend the tour to Masai Mara - it was amazing. And I payed less for this agency than others payed for exactly the same safari. ;-)

Great tailor-made safari experience
It was a great, effortless organisation by Castro. Utilizing his know-how of the safari experience and region, Castro offered us a very good planned trip, that shaped according to our requests. Also during the tour, team was very flexible in terms of making last minute adjustments and changes.

Amazing 8 Day Safari Trip to Tanzania
I just returned from my 8 day Safari trip to Tanzania organized by Makasa and I have nothing but the best to say about them and the trip.
Prior to the trip, all communication was prompt and clear. Selma with Makasa did a great job of tailoring the trip to my desired length and points, providing helpful suggestions and pointers, and answering any questions I had (including many proactively before I even asked).
The trip itself was incredible. We had some minor flight delays, and despite a lack of communication on my part, Makasa was able to handle my situation with ease.
Our driver, Jamal, picked us up from the airport and immediately made us feel at home and informed. He knew about the animals, the culture, and the landscape. He knew how to safely handle the vehicle. He was able to fine tune or itinerary to specifics of what we wanted to see (animals we hadn't seen on previous days, etc.) and duration during the days and so on. Incredibly flexible and knowledgeable and just all around great.
Accommodations were beyond my wildest expectation. We were placed in all TWC properties which were amazing and put as at ease. This trip was supposed to be a vacation, but I had expected it to be a little rugged; our accommodations made us feel as relaxed as if we were staying at a beach in the Caribbean.
I will note that I have never been on a safari or to Tanzania previously, so I lack the ability to compare to other offerings. That said, the homework I did before choosing Makasa seemed to indicate they were competitive on price and at the top of the charts in terms of service, and given how my trip went, I still hold these feelings.

Amazing trip to Botswana !!
We just came back from our 10 day trip to Botswana. Deborah helped us put together the trip. She and her team were on top of every bit of details on this trip and made it go very smoothly. I will highly recommend Born Free Safaris to anyone planning to go to Africa.

Mini safari
Feb 2017 I was in Uganda for a small getaway and decided last minute to go on a local safari. Kisoro tours were recommended. I told Dan what I would like and he put forward a couple of packages, taking into consideration my timeframe and budget.
I chose Lake Mburo national park with overnight accommodation . We went on safari the first day and saw a variety of animals in there habitat, then finished off with a boat trip on rage river and was amazed by the wildlife on and around us. The evening was spent in an echo friendly lodge , the food was delicious and the individual cottages were outstanding, waking up to monkeys on your porch is something else. The day was finished off with another safari where we tracked down the elusive giraffes and then back to Entebbe. All in all the whole adventure is something I will always remember and was well worth every penny

Excellent 6-day camping safari!!
We did an 6-day camping safari included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater. if I were to do it over again I'd skip Tarangire in favor of another Serengueti day, The best park for us is amazing. The safari was great we got to see the big five close to our jeep including the rhino.
Romeo is kind, professional and efficient . We worked together to create a custom itinerary that fit our desires.
Although this was not a luxury safari experience nor was it a price as such . We would highly recommend Safari Multiways.

Excellent tailor-made wildlife tour of Uganda
In February, my girlfriend and I embarked on a 12-day tour through southwestern Uganda, with a focus on forest wildlife. In coordination with Diane, we organized a tailor-made trip which followed our particular interest. Savannah wildlife, which, while very interesting, can be found in many other places in Africa, but the primate and birdlife in Uganda is very unique. Our driver/guide was Martin, a very intelligent, eager and friendly man with excellent English skills. He drove very safely and provided us with loads of interesting information about the culture, history and politics of Uganda and elsewhere in the region. He also carried identification books so we could look up animals we had seen. At all times, he was extremely enthusiastic to share his country with us and make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. At each stop, we had a local guide whose knowledge and ability to spot wildlife was superb and Martin was able to add some of his own knowledge and stories during our walks.
We visited Kibale NP where we experienced the chimpanzee habituation. Able to spend an entire day with this amazing creature, this activity is strongly recommended. We also visited Bigodi Swamp – where we saw tons of colorful birds; Semuliki – less impressive secondary forest, but still full of birdlife; Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth NP – one of the greatest concentrations of large animals we have ever seen; Kalinzu NP – another area of great chimpanzee encounters, but without the crowds, where we were lucky enough to see baby chimps with their mothers and witness a chimpanzee hunt; Bwindi Impenatrable NP – home of Uganda’s famous mountain gorillas, which is a must-see; Mgahinga NP – home of the extraordinarily rare golden monkeys, a cute and approachable primate; and finally Lake Bunyoni – a relaxing lake surrounded by farmland and a fair share of fascinating birdlife.
With little information about Chigo Tours circulating on the internet, we were understandably worried about how the trip might go, but because of the very competitive price and the great communication from Diane in the office, we decided to go for it. And we are pleased to declare that we had a fabulous tour which exceeded our very high expectations and we would certainly recommend Chigo Tours to our friends.

7-day safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti National Park
We had the best time in Tanzania with Easy Travel! Our guide, Tom, was the best--very knowledgeable, funny, kind. We saw the big five and even got within 20 m of the elusive black rhino! I planned the trip with Beatrice who was amazing and thoroughly answered all the questions we threw at her.
