Excellent Safari advice and guidance
We booked a trip to Kapama Buffalo Camp through Devryn Panaino at Discover Africa. He checked out several options within our budget. He was very responsive or one of his colleagues (thanks Megan) replied to our questions. We booked directly from the UK but the whole process was very smooth. Would highly recommend and will definitely contact again if we are looking for another safari or other African experiences in the near future.
The safari itself exceeded expectation. We saw the big five on more than one occasion. The guide and tracker (Themba & Zakes) were very knowledgeable. We also were able to go on a bush walk and learn more about our surroundings. The camp itself was immaculate, all of the staff friendly and helpful. They have great chefs. One thing that was very helpful was a ‘suggested’ tip guide. Tips can also be paid via credit card should you prefer.
Thanks to everyone involved at Kapama Buffalo camp.

Amazing
The safari was amazing, the guide was great and met our needs. We saw a lot of the animals from the national park and had fun with the guide. The accommodation was good, nice and clean rooms with good food and good lunch boxes for the safari. The car was also nice and clean. Overall worth the money.

Most memorable experience
We had booked our dream safari with Serengeti Wakanda many months back and were suppose to travel in July 2024, but due to some issues with my daughter's passport we couldn't make it in July. Wakanda were very kind and allowed us to change the dates for October of this year. Aishwarya who was handling the whole tour made sure of all the arrangements of our trip. Everything was meticulously was arranged which allowed for our special diet and also we need only one room with three beds which was also taken care of very brilliantly. From the day we arrived Aishwarya and Andrew, our safari guide, ensured we would have an incredible experience. What we experienced was beyond of what we expected in the safari. There was nothing that was disappointing. Definitely we made good friend with our guide Andrew and also definitely we shall use Aishwarya at Wakanda again for the safari to Tanzania.

Unforgettable Tanzania/Sansibar experience with Shemeji Safari
We got back from our Tanzania-Zanzibar round trip about a week ago keep thinking about it every day - so many beautiful memories remain, which is largely thanks to Shemeji Safari / Paradise Wilderness, with whom we carried out this trip. A year ago, we contacted Shemeji Safari and started to plan our individual trip together – we took some modules from their program one-to-one, others were flexibly adapted and added. We would particularly like to thank Tomas Vyvial, who took excellent care of us before and during the trip! We always had a competent contact person who was available per email and WhatsApp throughout our journey, and when we needed his help on-site (which happened only once or twice), he was immediately on hand and offered a solution so that we were able to continue without any problems.
If anyone is planning a trip to Tanzania/Zanzibar, we can highly recommend the team at Shemeji Safari/Paradise Wilderness, and if you work with Tomas, you will be in the best of hands. We have already recommended him to friends and colleagues, and who knows, he may well hear from one or the other... 😊.

A fantastic all round experience
We did the 6-Day Hwange NP, Victoria Falls & Chobe NP package which was fantastic overall.
Our Zimbabwe driver, Simon (and his offsider), our Hwange safari guide, Bheki, and the Chobe safari guide, Figo, were all amazing as were practically all people who helped us along the way, those part of the tour and those who we met along the way.
The accommodation at Shongwe was a bit more basic than we're used to put certainly had great service and a very welcome pool and the cruise along the Chobe river was certainly more basic too...but once we got over the initial surprises, we had a great time. Thanks all!

Incredible Safari
We went on a safari to Selous and Mikumi with Otto and it was incredible. These parks are some of the best places to see wildlife in their natural habitat in the world. We enjoyed the game drives as we came from one great animal encounter to the next. We managed to see lots of elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, a lot of birdlife and many other species of wildlife that is abundant in Mikumi and Selous.
The lodges were amazing, we enjoyed the first class service and staying in the tented luxury rooms. The food was excellent and they would pack excellent baskets for our picnic lunches. We also enjoyed the surprise candle lit dinner on our anniversary.
All in all we had an amazing time in Tanzania, thanks to Rama putting the trip so well, that it was flawless!

Wonderful experience
We did a six day/five night private safari with Jocky Tours, and it was the best experience of our lives. It was really well organised. From the airport pick up to the drop off at our hotel after the tour. The Safari itself was a dream. Our guide and driver Dennis was the best. He shared so many information about all the animals and always knew the best spots to watch them or wait for them to pass us. He answered all our questions and showed us so many wonderful things, we are really grateful. He always showed respect for the animals and never went too close, so they wouldn't be disturbed.
We felt so comfortable in the car. He always drove very safe as well.
The accommodations we stayed in were absolutely fabulous. I would do the exact same tour again in a heartbeat and already recommended it to all our friends and family.
