unforgettable adventure
We really enjoy our trip in the four large and wonderful parks of Tanzania, the way of life and the cooking.
Our guide / driver was professional, friendly and made us discover many animals even some we never heard before.
We project to book a new safari with Adventure maker in January.

Good despite the van breaking down and not getting to see the migration we saw 3 of the big 5
The communication and service was great but there was some miscommunication since we thought we were going to the Masai Mara Sopa but on the night before discovered we were not which did not live up to our expectation. Accomodation at Simba Oryx ended up not being so bad despite being the only guests tents were great and food very fresh.

Very helpful throughout and certainly delivered the goods at the end of the day.
Thought Safari Club were most helpful in their arranging of the trip always being prepared to make any adjustments to meet our personal needs. All the arrangements were first class and all modes of transportation were waiting to meet us at every stage of our journey Overall the trip certainly lived up to our expectations and more, and provided us with a great experience of living in the bush with excellent wildlife viewing at both of the camps we stayed at. We certainly would have no hesitation in using Safari Club again.

wonderful trip by 11 days
We have traveled for 11 days through South Africa, everything has gone great. The only problem we had was with African Eagle with whom we took two tours one in the morning by Cape of Good Hope and another in the afternoon by Cape Town. We just did the morning tour which took us late to Cape Town, Gert our agent at Getaway made the arrangements to give us back the money.
After we did the garden route for 5 days with Bokbus, our driver and guide Benjamin made an unforgettable trip. Good driver, polite, attentive and best person. The last four days we did safari with the company Viva Safaris, the attention of the girls at reception was great. We could not see many animals in Kruger it was very hot and that is why the animals migrate north looking for rain and cooler weather.

The two excellent guides made our trip an extraordinary experience-including the Gorilla-tracking
Our Uganda/Ruanda trip was perfectly organized, from the first to the last day. The accommodations were very good. The right car was provided for the journey from Entebbe to Kigali. We had an extraordinary vacation because of the two guides Joseph (German-speaking) and Ismael (English-speaking)
In addition to the interesting itinerary with the following highlights
• Rhinotracking
• Chimpanzees tracking
• Game drive with tree climbing lions
• 2 x Gorilla tracking
we have learned a lot about the country and the people of Uganda and Ruanda. Our special wishes, like the visit of a church on Sunday, were fulfilled. We would take another trip through the countries with these two guides, at once.
Uganda is a very interesting country under development.

Great days in wonderful parks
Leina our tour operator was professional, and the safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro went without glitches.
Harun, our well experienced and tiredless guide/driver was very attentive to our wishes.
The Sopa lodges in both parks were very comfortable, clean and with great views! The meals were great at the lodges, though the lunch boxes could be improved and more varied. We even were surprised to find water bottles on the crater lodge as the evenings were much cooler on the rim..
Harun was very, respective of the park rules to protect the environment and the animals.
We were extremely lucky to sight a confrontation between a big herd of angry buffaloes confronting a pack of around 18 lions ( half of them inexperienced having just made the mistake to kill 2 little buffaloes from the big herd). Very rare to witness indeed!!
And as it was the mating time for birds, we saw the ostriches' dances to court and mate with artistic wing displays.
Wonderful memories to take back home.

great adventures and experiences
Very professional organization without glitches, and well experienced and tiredless guide/driver Harun.
The Sopa lodges in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater were very comfortable, clean, safe and with great views! They even provided us with water bottles on the crater rim.
Harun was very attentive to our needs and wishes, respecting the park rules to protect the environment and the animals. We had an unexpected experience when a big heard of angry buffaloes confronted a pack of around 18 lions ( half of them inexperienced having just killed 2 little buffaloes from the big herd). Very rare to witness!!
And as it was the mating time for birds, we saw the ostrich courting and mating dance and wing displays.

Epic!
What a trip!!! This was truly a dream come true for me! My husband and I went to both Kenya and Tanzania on our honeymoon and booked with Safari partners. It surpassed all our expectations. Chris was beyond helpful making suggestions and answering our million questions. This trip was a breeze from the moment we landed in Africa to when we arrived home. Every detail was planned, we showed up and were treated so well by everyone that we met along the way. I know one day we will be going back to Africa and we will for sure be booking with Chris again! Thank you Safari Partners for all the dreams you made come true on this trip of a life time!

Poorly organised, poor communications which only improve near the end of tour.
Bad start to tour. Pickup came about 30mins late for pickup from CPT airport. No assurance about daily tour itinerary and dinner reservations. I had to asked every tour leaders lookalike at the door of my hotel to find my allocated tour. Went for prepaid dinner but restaurant rejected us for no reservation or info on our dinner after travelling a great distance to the restaurant in a foreign land. Everyday, we had to be on our toes to find our allocated tours searching the hall of the hotel and every hotels we stayed we had to make sure all meal and tour reservations were in order without knowing the time and location of meetup! I had to called the outsourced travel agency after I finally figured out who they were myself from the reception to arrange myself the time and place. At times, even this travel agent was unsure of my paid itineraries which further added on to our already messy and poorly arranged tour. Tour only improved at JNB with a dedicated tour leader in charge of us with clearer instructions. Overall, really bad start with so much fear and uncertainty that really ruin our holiday.
