Excellent choice for Safaris in South Africa
One of the best tours I have ever done. The guide Alex Freire is a sensational person who knows a lot about the subject and loves what he does, which is something very important. I had the opportunity to see animals very closely and it was a great experience. Ideal for anyone wanting to do a Safari in Johannesburg. He speaks fluent Portuguese as well as German and English. The company does other very interesting tours as well (including for Namibia and Botswana, which I want to do in the future). I recommend you check out the Unique-Safaris website and facebook.

A reliable tour agency and very good planning of our itinerary by Ms Laurette of Pembury
We are a group of 12 seniors from Singapore just back from an exhilarating 15 days tour of South Africa, Safari Parks and Victoria Falls. Our itinerary was initiated by us but Ms Laurette of Pembury has given lots of input and suggestions on the feasibility. During the 6 months of preparation , Ms Laurette has promptly and patiently responded to our enquiry. When the final countdown on 24/2 our anxieties were relieved, every thing went without a single glitch that include different countries transfers, tour guides, games drives, restaurants booking etc. We thank you Laurette for the wonderful and hardworking attituude. We strongly recommend her services to all who wish to visit South Africa and Victoria Falls.

One of our best experiences of our lives!!
We just got back from an amazing safari in Tanzania organized by soul of Tanzania. Before we decided to take the trip we had some doubts about booking with a local company, but we are so happy we finally booked with soul. They took care of everything including the smallest details, nothing was forgotten. When we arrived our guide Benedict waited for us with a big smile. We felt welcome from the first moment we met him. Kim met us in town for a cup of coffee and a briefing regarding our safari. It was extremely helpful and she made sure that everything was organized well. Benedict and Kim seemed to be communicating throughout the safari which gave us a safe feeling. The trip took us to some of the most amazing places in Tanzania and we saw more wildlife than we ever expected to see. Tarangire was surprisingly great, Manyara was beautiful green, Serengeti was just like we imagined the African plains would be and wow ngorongoro was just breathtaking! The lodges and camps we stayed in were all very well chosen by soul of Tanzania. The staff in each camp was lovely, the food was delicious and the rooms were just amazing. Our guide made us feel so spoilt during the whole trip. He provided us with wine, set our tables, made us some fresh coffee and always made sure we had hot lunches. This seems to be something unique as other companies don't provide this service from what we could see at the picnic places. Benedict took us on some private game drives as well and always found what we were looking for. There wasn't even one moment we didn't feel safe in his car, he knew very well how to get us through the muddy 'roads'. We can't imagine traveling with a different company and would like to thank Benedict) and Kim one more time. We can't wait to come back again soon!

Professional and personalized service that delivers an experience "of a lifetime".
For a few years my wife and I and a couple with whom we have made several trips had talked of a Tanzania Great Migration Safari. Our overall planning concluded that we did not care for a "group" travel model, but wanted a specialized private trip for the four of us that would include classic safari vehicle travel (rather than air travel from lodge to lodge) and high-end "tent" camps with a couple of lodge stays. Research on sites such as tripadvisor led to a smaller company with excellent reviews called Bush2City Adventures.
Solomon Jackson quickly responded to our initial inquiry with extensive information about his company and services, and a range of choices to help narrow our specific desires as to appropriate locations, level and offerings of lodging services, what animals were of most interest, travel times from one area to another, and pace of our game drives. He was patient and provided experienced advice to guide our selections, down to discussion of the attributes we sought in the guide with whom we would spend the ten days out in the "bush". He also provided specific pricing on each option we considered.
We travelled with Ally, whom we came to value both as a person and a professional with keen eyesight and deep knowledge of every type of animal and its habits in the wild. He cared for us in all ways to make us comfortable and our experience rich. The "route" had been charted by Jackson to cover the two areas where animals would be found in numbers, based on the variable of where feed was growing dependent on rains, which resulted in a perfect match with our desire for Great Migration herds and the animals' "birthing" season. Babies of all types abounded and gave us photo opportunities one could only hope for. The tent camps were outstanding, with furniture and indoor plumbing providing great comfort, and beautiful permanent lounge and dining facilities to enjoy views, drinks, and dinners. The staff we encountered were invariably personable and welcoming, with an obvious focus on putting smiles on our faces and attending to all of our needs.
Ally, without prediction or pretension, delighted us with close encounters with scores of animals from the smallest birds and insects to the largest elephants and hungry Nile crocodiles. We scored multiple "checks" on encounters with "The Big Five". From watching a lioness stalk, wait still in the grass, and launch her lightening attack on a family of zebra walking by, to a huge bull elephant pushing down a tree to bring his meal to him, each day brought new wonders and excitement.
Bush2City is recommended without exception, and, having spent many years as a CEO, I predict that Jackson Solomon's career will lead to building a very successful safari tour company.

Simply Amazing!!!!!
Shadows exceeded all expectations. Our guide Edwin was amazing, cautious & adventurous at the same time. Very keen eye & sense of where to be & when - we saw and experienced much, much more than we expected, the Big 5, a Masai village, Tented Camp experience was incredible. All lodging, food & service were excellent. Shadows was very responsive & all the logistics worked like clockwork. Highly recommend Shadows for this hopefully more than once in a lifetime experience.

Professional handling, felt safe and secure, took well care of us during our stay in Tanzania.
We had a wonderful Safari experience which was handled by Easy Travel. Everything was well organized and we saw all the Big 5. Each day was well timed and the drive felt safe and secure, no incidents even though the weather at times was difficult. Our guide and driver; Elias was a joy to have with us, very experienced and he drove smoothly and with high level of caution. We never got stuck even though it rained a lot. The lodges and the tents were very good and the food was more than we asked for. Thanks to Amina who took care of the bookings and other practicalities.
Overall, we had a fantastic safari and we can strongly recommend Easy Travel and Tours as
they handled everything extremely professional, and helped us with arranging accommodation before and after the safari as well as transporting us to and from the airport in Arusha, even though we did not ask for it!!

Wonderful adventure!
Mail contact with Rob went smoothly and he responded quickly and everything felt reliably and professionally. We were picked up at the airport by Anthony who drove us to La Miasion Royale in Nairobi. The day after Kenneth came and picked us up and we started our trip to the Sarova Game Lodge in the Masai Mara. The hotel was very nice and the staff was very nice. After three days safari Kennet had seen to it, with a Little bit of luck as well, that we had seen the Big 5. The safari was absolutely amazing, both in the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Kenneth made sure we were able to take great pictures and made the safari an adventure that we will never forget. Next time we'll go on safari, we will definitely book with Beacon safari! Thank you!
