Wonderful tour with outstanding attention to detail!
We had a once in a lifetime trip to Namibia, Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta, organized by Mr. Audwin (Scobie) de Wet, Founder and CEO of Evolution Travel, based in Windhoek, Namibia. Scobie is an amazing travel agent, arranging for all aspects of our tour of Southern Africa, including our transport, luxury lodging and tour guides. His response to communication was timely; he not only was meticulous in pre-travel planning, but he was also personally available at a moment's notice to help with a few "glitches" that happened during the trip. He gave us an in-depth personal historical tour of Windhoek and Katatura, including a visit to the studio of an outstanding local artist. We next visited Erindi Game Reserve and were treated to a wealth of local flora and fauna during game drives. We then toured Swakopmund and the coastal dune belt on the beautiful Atlantic shore. We learned about the unique and fragile ecosystem of the dunes and the Namib desert, and we enjoyed the unique German character and incredible cuisine of the city. Our next stop was Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and a beautiful stay in the Victoria Falls Hotel, Zimbabwe's spectacular and most luxurious colonial era hotel, adjacent to Victoria Falls. Again, every detail was attended to, and we had a wonderful, relaxing stay. We next flew by charter plane into the Okavango Delta, staying at Shinde Camp, a small luxury camp on a palm island in the northern delta, a private concession of Ker & Downey, Botswana. Our experience was incredible, including the accommodations, the game drives and the staff. We reluctantly returned to the US; however, we plan to return, and we will count on Evolution Travel to make all our arrangements!

Best Holiday Ever
Tanzania was by far the BEST experience ever!! We did a safari, visited the Maasai and Hadzabe tribes, and visited Mafia Island.
This was our second safari, the first was in South Africa. In Tanzania, we saw more wildlife, our guides were great, and the accommodations were all nice. Our guides Muddy and Godlisten were very nice, knowledgeable, and they took great care of us. We saw way more than we could imagine. Seeing a lion eating a wildebeest in person would always be a favorite.
Seeing and learning about the Maasai tribe was very interesting. We visiting a small village and toured their huts. Wonderful experience.
Our favorite part of the was visiting the Hadzabe tribe (https://youtu.be/J_ZuZ2-sxn8). This was INCREDIBLE. We actually went on a hunt, had 2 catches, made a fire, cooked the catches, and ate with them. By far the coolest thing we’ve ever done. To laugh, hunt, eat, and have fun with this indigenous tribe is something we will never forget.
Mafia island is a small quite island known for whale sharks. We went on 2 trips and got the chance to swim with these magical creatures. INCREDIBLE.
The customer service from Great Image was the best from beginning to end. They were quick to respond to anything I needed. The entire staff was awesome. There are pictures on my Instagram: TribueTravels

Experienced!
Even though we weren’t traveling during peak season Lion King Adventures planned a safari holiday of a lifetime! We stayed at some of the most exotic locations at various bush camps in the wildlife parks which gave us a totally different experience of Tanzania than staying only at known hotel chains. We travelled with two children (7 &11) and they were very mindful about making sure it was also very safe and comfortable for the kids. The whole trip included game drives, lunch and even a walking tour. The organizers were online in case we needed anything. We found them extremely reliable and that they understood our needs very well. Extremely professional! Especially our Guide - Gilbert! We recommend him to all who want to book with Lion King Adventures! Thank you for a wonderful family holiday!

Excellent agency, great tours.
Good agency. Jocelyn responded quickly to our questions and arranged airport pick-up and transfer. The tour was really nice. Our guide/driver David was very nice, funny, explained everything about animals, didn't rush the group while providing the information about different scenarios. Our chef Geoffrey prepared excellent meals and were very delicious. I highly recommend Ngekewa tours due to their excellent services.

Wonderful Tanzania Southern Parks!
"We have been planning this trip for three years, and one of things we wanted to experience was the wild, remote and old part of Africa. That is the main reason we chose to go to the Selous Game Reserve, Ruaha National Park and these camps. We accomplished our goal.
There is so much more to see and experience here than just the mammals. The BaoBab and Tooth Brush trees... the Agama lizards, Puff Adder, Black Spitting Cobra and African Butterflies all prove that. I added 127 new bird species to my life list which I am quite proud of.
This was a trip during the Covid-19 age and yes, we had to put forth a little extra effort to get the PCR testing done in order to get to Tanzania and then back home, but we felt it was worth it. My wife and I for the most part felt like we were the only guests there. Some nights, we were the only guests in the camp. Most of the time we were the only car there watching lions. Very few other visitors were there while we were and it was nice and intimate. I'm sure the camps would like to have more visitors though.
All in all, thank you Tanzania Exclusive Journeys! It was a great trip and we can't wait to do it again!

Our guide Chris was excellent! Very knowledgeable, knew where to go for the best viewings.
This was my second “girls” trip with Peaks & Safari’s. The cost is very reasonable but the value is exceptional. This company, and Vera, are so easy to work with. They customize our tour specifically to what we are wanting, the accommodations they arrange are superb, and our tour guide, Chris, was terrific. I love that no detail is too small for them and the entire trip is seamless. From the time we are met at the airport I always felt secure and comfortable. I always knew what to expect and when to expect it. Our tour was private with just the five of us and our guide is with us from start to finish.
Kenya is a beautiful country, the landscape is ever changing…from the lush green of the farmlands, the peak of Mt Kenya, to the jaw dropping sights of the wildlife in the Masai Mara. The people are super friendly and it is definitely a trip worth taking. Have already scheduled my 3rd trip.

This tour operator really takes care of your needs, excellent organisation and very knowledgable.
Booked a safari tour in South Africa in March 2022. We stayed in 2 different private game lodges around Kruger National Park (Bundox and Makumu). Both lodges were excellent choices, with many different facilities including game drive safaris and spa facilities. The food and catering was also excellent at both lodges catering to customers' needs. The organisation by Cross Country Air Safaris was also excellent, the tour operator really took care to choose the right lodges for our needs. Great value for money and reliablity. Communication with the tour operator was easy, very knowledgeable, speaking from personal experience and always receiving prompt replies. I would choose Cross Country Air Safaris any time for another stay in South Africa or Botswana and in Southern Africa in general.

Outstanding experience
A few weeks before my holidays I contacted Federica to order a tour to Pilanesberg.
Throughout the whole process Federica and her husband did communicate quickly. To each small question, I received a dedicated and long written answer where you could see that these people really love what they are doing.
Value for money is outstanding! It was my first time in South Africa and Federica organized everything perfectly. The places offered by Federica and her husband are all self tested, so they are also very experienced and only work with people/hotels/guides they personally know. This makes sure that the package they are tailoring you fits your demands 100%.
Going the extra mile: I had so much fun talking to Federica. As a local she answers all your questions and also provides the cherry on top in terms of service. When I asked her about street food and local markets, she did not hesitate to take you and talk to the people on the street and get in contact with locals. I had the best lunch which was cooked over a fire and offered by kind local people - thanks to her. For such a unique experience you cannot pay.
