Awesome driver
I exchanged e-mails from the planning stage many times, but the reply was early.
At the game drive we acted more quickly and more accurately than other drivers, always secured a good place and enjoyed us
I will definitely choose Jocky Tours and Driver's Isaac next time
I want to express my gratitude using the language of the people of that country

An incredible life experience
Peter was fantastic at organizing a short safari for us. We did not have much time in Kenya, and wanted a quick safari experience to take home. We ended up doing a morning drive in Nairobi and Amboseli, and it was perfect. We saw the big, Kilimanjaro, and our guide Simon, has become one of our most talked about people we have come across in life. This is a great safari for someone who does not want to spend a lot of time in the car, or who is short in time. We cant say enough good things about this company. we hope to come back soon!

Work Field Visit to Morogoro and Mikumi
Davis was knowledgeable, safe, punctual, and a great travel companion. Davis saved my life (long story).
I was doing work out in Morogoro, and he was able to navigate back roads (panya roads) with ease. When we went to Mikumi, he knew where the good spots were to spot wildlife. Overall, I had a great experience with Nyasi Adventure.
In addition, payment was easy and they took credit card through an online link.

Excellent, knowledgeable, cheery, uncomplaining guides with sharp spotting eyes showed us so much.
First class communications. Prompt, friendly, helpful replies at all times and alterations made to personalise our tour including re-booking accommodation caused bt the BA flight problems. Coming from so far we tried to do too much. We would have preferred to have spent longer in each location with less time on the road so we will just have to return with more time. The bush walk in the Kruger was memorable as were the. Iews in Berg en Dal. We preferred to leave out the shopping trip to Durban as we had come looking for animals and birds and shopping malls are the same the world over but a quiet day relaxing near the beach was rewarded with a whale spouting. The trip to Rorke's Drift was an extra well- worth doing and the accommodation there something really special with San cave art a bonus. Animals at the Golden Gate were almost non- existent as the gates are now open and unmanned but the geology was impressive. The geology of the Drakensberg is simply breathtaking but you need to be fit. Just sitting watching the sunrise and set on the Cathedral was special In short: a first rate tour company which we would certainly recommend.

We really had fun, the guides were excellent, the accomodation was superb, the food was excellent.
We booked the Tuli Block-Okavango, Chobe National Park, we enjoyed the safari trip, the guides were so knowlegeable, the manager checked on us for our entire trip to check on how we were doing, we loved that, the chefs were so helpful, the accomodation as well was outstanding.
We highly recommend the company to anyone wishing to visit Botswana.

Affordable Adventures with my daughter
I really enjoyed my safari! The team picked me up from my hotel promptly and provided a detailed itinerary for our trip. The driver and support staff were patient and answered all questions. We made stops at small but clean rest points and restaurants along the six hour drive. We met tourists from other groups which provided reassurance as this was our first journey. I advise all to stay at a lodge instead of a camp. The camp is very affordable and the service is nice, but if you want hot showers, wifi and less mosquitoes... get the lodge packet! Our driver James was so wonderful and nice. He share cultural info, historical facts and really kept us safe and engaged! No question was out of line even when guests seemed to annoy one another! The team kept their word on all meals, breaks, photo opportunities and more!

Chalo Africa made our dream of an Africa holiday into a Dream African Holiday !!!!
My experience with Chalo Africa has been absolutely super from my first mail and then telephonic conversations.The phone calls and email conversations helped our group plan our holiday meticulously without even the slightest glitch. Sangeeta, Smita and Tanvi were on top of whatever requests we had and were very prompt in replying to all our queries and also providing alternative choices for our stay quickly which helped us make our decision quickly enough.I must compliment the Chalo Africa team for their patience as we had a lot of queries and could not decide on a travel plan.They gave us so many alternate plans which really put things in perspective for us to decide.their service throughout our planning and during the trip was exemplary.They were in constant touch with us all the way which was very reassuring to us as we were first time travellers to Africa.Their attention to detail in picking the right place for us to stay and fixing up the right guide since photography was a big part of our trip.All our expectations were met and beyond..we have never ever been on a vacation that was so well planned,well balanced with wildlife,visit to CapeTown and their advice on places to visit and restaurants to go were perfectly aligned with our expectations.They also picked the best places to stay at Manyeletti Reserve (Tintswalo Manor House) and More Quarters Hotel (Redcliffe House)in CapeTown.It was just perfect for our group. The plan for CapeTown was not rushed and at an easy pace so as not to tire us and at the same time we had a great time with our guide Eugene who was perfect just as our guide Darren in Manyeletti.Clear communications,prompt replies to all queries and a detailed trip dossier prior to our trip prepared us well in advance and there were no apprehensions at all.Best of all we never had to call them for any problems or queries in between as there were none !! I have no hesitation in recommending Chalo Africa to anyone who wants to plan on an Africa trip ..i intend to do more trips to Africa with them !!

Wonderful African Experience
Encompass Africa helped to give us a wonderful experience in Africa. The itinerary organised was perfect, with a blend of city visits and two safaris, each a little different, which exceeded our expectations in regard to wildlife and the accommodation was superb. We had many internal flights and drivers booked by Encompass, all ran like clockwork and drivers were very punctual and courteous. We cannot fault Encompass, everything was organised extremely well, we would not hesitate to book with them again or recommend them to family and friends. It was reassuring to know they have a contact in Africa we could phone if needed.

A remarkable Safari Experience!!!!
My husband and I decided to go on safari in Africa, having the experience of working with travel agents a lot but Asili Explorer was by far the best we have ever worked before, their responsiveness and willingness to as assist us to get the best of African safaris exceeded our expectation. As the first time travelers to Tanzania and Africa in general, we had so many questions to ask, and Sharif responded to all of our questions in time. Initially we had brief converzation with him about the Parks we would like to visits in Tanzania, and he developed a perfect itinerary that perfectly match our interests. We went to Tarangire where we saw herds of elephants, Oh my God! they are so big, also we saw the baobabs trees, our guide (Joe) told us they are over 500 years old, I never knew before that there are things that could live that long. The next day we went to Serengeti where we stayed for two nights, Serengeti plain is huge and have lots of wild animals and shrubs, It’s a paradise. And lastly we went to Ngorongoro which was by far the most beautiful landscape we have ever seen no wonder it’s among the Seven Wonders of the World. Joe was helpful through out the Safari he worked tireless, driving and telling us the story about animals and places simultaneously. Indeed, he was one of the most knowledgeable, professional and friendly tour guide we have ever worked. We wish we could have visited other places and spent more time with him, we were sad to say goodbye to him. Thank you Joe and Sharif for giving us an amazing experience hopeful we will see you again in the future.

Excellent service rendered with great flexibility
Jibha Africa Safaris is very reliable. They are prompt and responsible in their service. During our trip, we had to re-adjust our plans as I fell sick on the second day. Jibha helped to rearrange all of our activities promptly according to our preference and because of that, we didn't have to miss out on anything. We felt very comfortable communicating and working with them. Both Patrick and John went the extra mile and catered to all of our needs. We really had so much fun, not having to worry about anything! Thank You Jibha Safaris!
