The best possible service you can rely on!
We had a great experience with Boundless Africa Journeys both prior our arrival in Kenya and during our stay. It was a great experience right from the first emails customizing our itinerary.

Private Photography Safari
We booked the Photographic Safari with Private Kruger Safaris and we had a wonderful time. I had a chance to learn a lot about photography from Bernhard, who has a lot of expertise in this area. Bernhard gave me many tips and I left Kruger Park as a much more accomplished photographer. Bernhard and his brother Hennie are experts in the park wildlife and have the ability to spot and name animals that most people might not even notice We had an education in different species of birds that was quite fascinating. They have this ability to find the animals and birds and once found, they have the perfect vehicle and specialized (GimPro) photography equipment for taking great shots. What is more, Hennie is marvelous at maneuvering the vehicle into the best position for taking great photographs. We were picked up at around 5.30 am every morning and then it was non-stop action until about 6pm. We saw about 60 lions, numerous leopards, 7 cheetahs, rhinos, hyenas, African Wild Dogs, hippos, elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, buffalo, wildebeest, rare birds and much more. Some of our encounters with the lions and leopards were at close quarters, which was exhilarating. On the first day, my lens malfunctioned but Bernhard lent me a lens at no charge and arranged for a new lens to be hired – with some effort, he had it by the next day. Whenever we moved camps, they took care of our luggage and checking in/out and even put our drinks in the fridge. Importantly for us, Bernhard and Hennie truly respect that Park and its animals and lead by example in terms of following Park Rules and ensuring the safety of clients. All in all, we had 6 fantastic days that we will never forget. These guys are worth every penny.

Very helpfull and friendly
Since we decided very late to go for Safari, many properties were already fully booked, but the staff of Afritirip tried to find the perfect place for us, which means they called all lodges in the region where we wanted to go and found a perfect place for us. The Ezulwini River Lodge is a wonderful and amazing place and we highly can reccommend it.
Thanks for making our trip a unforgettable experience.

A very trustworth tour company deliver exactly what they offer if not more.
We did a 3 day safari to the Mara and was the most enjoyable trip I have experienced.
Visit Africa delivered more than was stated in the offer. I booked this trip from the UK and will most certainly recommend and use them again. Above all the driver Eric, went out of his way to accommodate our wishes.
Thanks Lewis, Heather and Eric.

A great and memorable experience
Were a party of 5 (2 eldery and 3 young people) and did a 5 day Lodge/Treehouse safari.
Our stay in Tremisana and Marc's Tree house Lodge was outstanding. we didn't know what to expect when we made our reservation, but it realy was far above and beyond our expectations.
Every aspect of the safari was a great experience and we hope to come back one day.
The safari's in were thrilling and overwhelming. Visiting the Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre was a confronting experience. While visiting the wonderful aninmals during the safari's we felt so lucky to be able to watch them, but in the rehab centre we were made very clear that this might an utopia in the future. Animals got killed and tortured. This is terrible.
In the rehab centre they do a great job.
The Tshukudu Game Drive was the best way to end our safari experience.
Tremisana Lodge and Marcs Treehouse Lodge are great places to stay, but the best part of our 5 day safari experience were the great people that accomodated us during these 5 days. They made it possible for us to create a memorable experience.
While back at home we do really miss it.
Great time
I had a brief but very memorable trip overnight to see gorillas in Rwanda! The guide and transport was all excellent and the overnight hotel simple but very comfortable and friendly. Emmanuel looked after all my needs!
I would book again with Matoke for a longer Iganda tour next time!!

WOW… a trip we’ll never forget
Words can’t describe how incredible our Private Moriti Safari was. Shaun planned a fantastic itinerary with us, giving us the opportunity to see all of the wildlife as well as the panoramic tour. Our guide for the 9 days, William, was a wealth of knowledge and an absolute pleasure to be around. He was a true gentleman with his only aim to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves…he definitely succeeded!
Our jam packed 9 day tour gave us the luxury of visiting a few lodges/guesthouses. Laughing Waters was the perfect way to begin; the beautifully well-kept gardens were a delight and Gavin’s cooking was delicious. West Lodge felt like home from home; comfortable, friendly and more delicious food. Our stay at Tshukudu can only be described as magically surreal. Our room/lodge was lovely, even with the added visitor of the bushbaby on our second night! Walking with the cheetah on our morning bush walk will be something we will never forget, an experience that money shouldn’t be able to buy but one we couldn’t be more grateful we had the chance of.
The last 3 nights can only be described as better than 5* luxury. Arriving at Nzumba lodge in the Klaserie area of Kruger, we were blown away with everything we saw. The beautiful big house with its separate lodges for rooms is perfectly positioned to sit and watch an abundance of animals at the watering hole. As if to order, 20mins after we arrived, sipping our cocktails on the balcony we watched a herd of elephants at the watering hole – spectacular! Werner and Rika made our last three nights dreamlike, with Werner’s incredible knowledge of the bush and Rika’s faultless hosting we certainly didn’t want to leave. Wiseman the tracker made sure we saw all the Big 5 and much more, while the chef and his team delighted us with some of the most exquisite food. There couldn’t be a more magical way to experience a safari.
We cannot thank Moriti (Shaun) enough for such a wonderful trip. There would be no hesitation in recommending to others and there’s no doubt in our minds that we will be back to experience more of what Shaun and his team can offer.

We were not picked at the airport and abandoned
Eugene of Africa Exclusive Escapes is a conman. He did not pick us from the airport on 1st January 2016 and he switched off his phone. We had paid a deposit, thanks God not the full amount of the safari. We went by ourselves to the hotel in Nairobi (Hotel Boulevard) to discover it was not even booked. Finally we had to resort to another contact of tour operator in Kenya to continue our experience. This company might already be closed, most likely, but in case it is still operational, be careful that these are conmen.
Had a great time seeing the Serengeti
Overall we had a really enjoyable experience on our safari. Camping in the Serengeti was a truly unique experience. The tour operators themselves were extremely warm and welcoming and really went out of their way to help us with our onward plans. Unfortunately we think our experience of the safari itself was hampered somewhat by the fact we were only two people, so footslopes aggregated us into a larger group with other tour operators in order to make it cost effective for them. For this reason I think we ended up with a guide who is not usually employed by footslopes, and we had some issues there regarding the quality of our tour and its organisation/timeliness. But overall we were satisfied and the footslopes guys were so accommodating and helpful when we returned back to Arusha after our tour. We think going forward they should focus on ensuring they have adequate group sizes for each planned tour so they don't have to put their guests in the hands of other tour operators, thus losing control of the quality of the service and risk unnecessary reputational damage.
