breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters
Jake, the Managing Director of Wildtouch Tours, is extremely receptive and very good at fine tuning the adventure to your style, your schedule, your priorities and what you want to see. I love animals and wanted the maximum amount of time in the park to see the all the wildlife, and so the trip was planned around that priority. Samburu and Buffalo Springs Game Reserve really delivered. I've been to most of the other big parks in Kenya, notably Masai Mara, Amboseli and Nakuru etc.. and Samburu is a little off the radar, but very special and I would say one of the most surreal landscapes, giving way to stunning backdrops to your wildlife pictures. Some of the most beautiful sunsets i have ever seen in my life and so many animals! Jake and Wildtouch Tours arranged that I stayed at Ashnil camp, a premier camp, with beautiful luxury tents right on the river behind a fence to keep the animals out . All these luxury tents were equipped with hot running water, electricity, mosquito nets, comfortable beds. Even though I was by myself, it was really romantic. I woke up to seeing an elephant having a drink in the river at dawn right before I left to go on my sunrise game drive. Just me and a giant elephant having a moment; simply beautiful. What I will say though, is that this itinerary was not cheap albeit a memorable experience. I thought the price was a little high especially for a single lady, but you sure won't be disappointed and will be left with lifelong memories. Finally, Ashnil camp has world class dining and a fantastic wine list and extremely nice staff. The campgrounds (which also featured a swimming pool), the fine dining and lovely drinks were perfect for relaxing at night after being in the bush all day.

Our African Safari Adventure was far beyond our greatest expectation!!!
We traveled to Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa in May. We could not have asked for a more perfect safari adventure!
All arrangements were made by the outstanding travel organizer at Africa Nziza Odysseys (and his associates in South Africa).
All communication during our trip was PERFECT! We were amazed at the superior handling of the logistics for transporting us from one place to another throughout all three countries. We never missed a flight or a pick-up by ground vehicles. All of our drivers, hosts, and tour guides were
extremely personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Each of the safari lodges and hotels that we stayed in provided excellent service, delicious food, and exceptionally warm hospitality!!
This trip far exceeded every expectation that we might have had. Without hesitation, we will use Africa Nziza Odysseys to plan all future trips to the continent of Africa.

Skywide Tours and Kenya adventure - a perfect match!
So VERY pleased with our tour service - Skywide Tours. My wife got approval to present at a conference in Nairobi on Tuesday. I immediately emailed Skywide asking for a 3-day package to Masai Mara and David responded within 12 hours. After looking at our travel arrangements, I emailed back asking to move it forward by 1 day - to Sunday. Again, David responded in short turnaround on Thursday to confirm this was manageable.
We met David at our hotel at 7 AM Sunday, along with our guide, Wachanga. During the next 3 days my wife and I were continuously impressed with Wachanga's engaging personality, his vast knowledge of large animals, birds, plants and geology of the Rift Valley, which he imparted while we BOUNCED along along the dirt roads which snake throughout the Masai Mara National Park. We found out that after being a school teacher for many years, he now is one of the longest-running guides in Kenya. As a result, in addition to his commitment to ensuring we saw as much wildlife as possible, his ease in the mechanics of a multi-day safari - as well as being on a first-name basis with many of the other guides and wardens in the preserve - made the whole experience extremely smooth. We stayed in OL Moran tented camp, where we were pleased to discover that our tent had a shower/toilet attached. The food was simple, but filling. Overall just what we expected for safari accommodations.
As we were coming back into Nairobi we decided to engage Wachanga for the day on Saturday, 4 days from then, to go through the Nairobi National Park, David Sheldrick elephant orphanage and the giraffe center. Again, David and Wachanga were quite accommodating. We finished with a tour of the Kazuri Bead Factory, which employs several hundred single women producing incredibly beautify necklaces and bracelets. We had wanted to try an authentic yama choma meat meal, so we had a late lunch at a restaurant Wachanga arranged.
During the day on Saturday we realized that our flight out the next day wasn't until 11:30 PM, so we asked if Wachanga could take us to see Hell's Gate National Park. Again, this was arranged without difficulty at literally a moment's notice. Hell's Gate offers multiple activities for a 1-day excursion, including the only park where you can leave the vehicle; a close-up view of the escarpments of the Valley wall; a walk up a narrow gorge with 'escape routes' up the side walls in case of a flash flood; and a close-up look at the geothermal plants that provide 10%+ of Kenya's electricity. On our way back we stopped at Lake Naivasha and took a 1-hour ride to see water fowl and hippos.
As you can tell from this long review, we are enchanted with Kenya, and enthusiastic about Wachanga and David from Skywide Tours - their flexibility in handling last minute, ever-changing arrangements together with their local knowledge made this the perfect week trip! We encourage you to use Skywide, request Wachanga, and tell them that Alan and Diane sent you!

Great travel company.
All our questions about our travel arrangements were answered very quickly. They were very accomodating when we needed to make changes. Our tour guide, Wilson, was very knowledgable and all the details of our trip were worked out smoothly. When we had some sick family members, he made sure that they were looked after. We had a great safari experience and Wilson made sure we were able to get the best experience possible during the safari. We saw lots of wildlife and the cruise was great. Overall the travel company was very professional.

Wow. An amazing trip , tailor made. Every thing we wanted it to be.
We started to make enquiries with a number of tour operators. We choose Zozo for a number of reasons. They were really very responsive to our enquiries, and there were lots of them. Rosette the travel consultant was excellent. All enquiries were fully answered , with the options that would be available to us. They were able to offer a tailor made trip at a competitive price. It was a very good decision of ours To choose them.
Zozo met us at the airport , were really warm and friendly. We felt very comfortable from the moment we landed.
Throughout the two week trip with the Zozo driver ,Salim and guide ,Egide were both very professional, friendly punctual , knowledgeable and were able to answer our questions. They knew the best places to stop for photos and would stop if there were photos we wanted to get. In fact they were really good company too.They ensured that border crossing and checking into hotels all went smoothly and we felt looked after ,and they taught us to play Matatu a very enjoyableRwandan card game.
We had planned to visit Virunga in Congo but through no fault of Zozo’s after a security incident the park was closed two weeks before our trip started . Rosette and Ellie the boss put a lot of effort into rearranging the internary to make it possible for us to gorilla trek in Uganda instead ,which was the the highlight of holiday.
There was nothing about-the planning or delivery of our trip that you could criticise. Zozo provided us with a trip of a lifetime . We received excellent service from start to finish and felt like we were valued customers and all efforts were made to deliver a personalised trip , even the boss Ellie made the time to come and meet us and accompany us on a city tour.
I would highly recommend this company. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent service, easy bookings.
We booked a trip to Mabula Lodge through World’s Ultimate Travels. The communication with World’s Ultimate Travels were easy and convenient, they responded quickly to all our requests and provided usefull feedback. The website is very easy to use and we received our booking voucher shortly after booking. The tour were excellent, we travelled with our two kids aged 6 and 3 which can be a challenge on a Safari, but World’s Ultimate Travels reccomended Mabula as they were able to arrange for the kids to be able to join us on the game drives, makng it an enjoyable experience for the whole family. We are looking forward to book our next safari through World’s Ultimate Travels.

The most wonderful trip
I had two amazing weekends. One trip to Sossusvlei and one to the Etosha National park. Both were just perfect and so beautiful. Sedney, our Tour guide was simply the best. We had a lot of fun all the time and all of us were just happy. Great food, perfect organisation and the most dreamlike places and landscapes. I can not imagine a better trip. Thank you so much for the unforgettable time and the fantastic impression!
