PERFECT TRIP
After spending a long time searching through a variety companies for our family trip, we settled on Routes Kilimanjaro Adventures. A large reason to this was the helpfulness of Stella who was very quick to respond to our queries and plan safari so that it perfectly suited our requirements. From the initial planning stage, we felt like we were in safe hands.
We were collected at the airport by our driver and guide for the week, Nelson. He made the safari so special for my family and my self and his knowledge was incredible. He almost had a sixth sense where he could spot animals that we would never have noticed them, but Nelson did. He was very excited to see them and said it was exceptionally rare to spot a Leopard with the cubs running in the open. We sat and had our lunch with him every day and was great to find out about him and see how passionate he is about his job.
Our family trip was perfect and was thanks to the hard work of Routes Kilimanjaro team. There are many of tour agencies in Tanzania but we are so happy that we went with Routes Kilimanjaro Adventure.

All our conversations were positive, timely and got us the trip of our lives in the Okavango Delta.
All communications were quick and positive. The service was wonderful. The trip was even better than we hoped for. Our Safari was 9 days camping in the bush with Letaka Safaris with just our guide, butler, waiter and cook. The drives were long and we saw so much including, wild dogs, Rhino, Ground Hornbills, six species of Hornbills, Black Bellied Bustards, Kori Bustard, Lions eating an Elephant that they killed. We have good photos of over 100 birds (almost all new to us). We wanted to see birds so we had a private guide KB who was a bird expert and could even mimic all their calls. We of course saw the big animals also. The trip was absolutly fantastic.
Gertrude of Falcon Safaris arranged all flights into Maun and out of Kasane, our 1 night stay in Maun, our transfers, the Letaka Safari 11 day safari, and a very special stay at Chobe Marina Lodge for our last 2 nights in Botswana, and also at a better price than our attempts to book direct. We highly recommend Falcon Safaris for bookings, and Letaka Safaris for the camping safari in the Okavango Delta in the areas of Xanaka, Khwai River, Savuti and Chobe.
Responsive, Helpful and personal.
Beads Safaris Collection is always our number 1 choice given their responsiveness to queries. They take time to understand what kind of an experience you are seeking. I appreciate their patience and how they seek feedback even way after your vacation. Great job good people!

Wildlife Safari
From booking to go on safari, the staff was very easy to work with and was able to customize our trip, giving us everything that we requested. We researched many companies and found that Routes Kilimanjaro was very reasonably priced for what they delivered. Our guide, couldn't have been better. We told him we wanted to see as much as we could, so he made sure the safari day lasted from sunrise to sunset. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals, plants, and birds found in the parks. He had an amazing ability to spot and identify animals, even from long distances away. Our guide was interested in photography, finding perfect spots to take pictures. We would travel with Routes Kilimanjaro again and ask for Emmanuel as our guide.

Faith Kimani from EAV was excellent throughout all phases of our Safari experience!
Our experience with EAV went beyond our expectations. Faith worked tirelessly with our group of five from start to finish -- always communicating in a timely manner, answering our many questions, and making adjustments to meet our needs. As a result, our customized itinerary was well-designed & executed throughout our ten-day Safari.
Our guide, Sylvester, is the best! He is knowledgeable about the wildlife, patient, a fabulous driver, & took us off the beaten path at times for more viewing adventures. We always felt safe, secure and well cared for.
All of our lodgings were comfortable and set among beautiful landscapes. Each was unique in its own way, and the hospitality at each was excellent.
We have come away with many meaningful and enduring impressions & memories of our first visit to Tanzania -- thanks to EAV. We will recommend them to our friends and family without hesitation!

Come and see life at its best!!
I have traveled twice with Kanyezi African Safaris. I loved it so much the first time that I brought along a friend for my second trip. I recommend Kanyezi unequivocally with the highest rating possible. The trips exceeded my expectations - and the second was even better than the first.
Both times I traveled late May / early June which was the perfect time (fall) for weather and absence of bugs. But next time I may try spring instead.
Chris and Michael, the owners of Kanyezi, are perfect hosts and know how to put together the best tours of South Africa. From their personal greeting at the airport upon arrival to the departure they make everything a luxury and an adventure.
Some people said they felt weird about wiring the money early on, but it's absolutely safe and worth every penny! I don't know how they provide such luxurious business-class travel and wonderful accommodations at such a reasonable price point, but they know their business well and have been doing this a long time. Their experience pays off for their guests, making the whole trip a dream come true.
The accommodations are extravagantly luxurious. The suites are beautiful, the food is delicious and elegantly served. And the safaris are conducted in small groups (there were 6 in my group) with a dedicated ranger and tracker. Every night the ranger joined us at the sumptuous dinner, which added to the personal care and the depth of knowledge gained on the trip.
The highlight, of course, is the safaris: two drives and one walk per day. You see more than you could have imagined. Wildlife big and tiny. The ranger and tracker share their knowledge and love of the land and animals. Viewing the sunrise and sunset every day (as well as the Southern Cross in the night sky) touched some part of my soul that lies dormant most of the time.
If you have any dream of safari, you should consider Kanyezi to ensure that you have the best safari on earth.

Awesome Safari experience with a great guide!
In June of 2018 i visited the tarangire NP and the ngorongoro crater. Overall it was a unique experience. It was the first safari for me and i started it the perfect way. At the first day we visited tarangire. I wasnt sure what to expect, but since entering the gate of the NP i really enjoyed every second of staying. The guide (Sos) is a well informed guy, who really enjoyes what he does for a living, which everyone of our group approved.
The second day was even more fantastic! I really recommend the ngorongoro crater for everyone who thinks about doing a safari. The scenery by itself is breathtaking! The animals living in the crater gave me the feeling of visiting a zoo, but here the humans are the ones, who have to stay inside small glass cages (cars).
It doesnt depend on which NP you want to visit, but please do it with Sos. He's such a handsome guy, who can give u great information and answer every question you could ask, while staying and driving calm the whole day. One more time: It was really unique and would love to visit some more NPs, i'm sure i will book it again with Magufwa Safari!

Stunning Safari with trustworthy staff
We went for a 3-day tour across the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks in Tanzania, staying at Seronera and Panorama camping sites. Since we had time constraints we had to opt for a private tour with AAA Express Adventures. Jalala has been very helpful in accommodating our requests and needs. He arranged the tour, including pickup and drop off at Kilimanjaro Airport. He was extremely responsive on emails and precise in terms of both tour schedule and payment details. Our driver, Emil (Emilio for Italians!) was extremely helpful, kind and knowledgeable. He made sure we could always make the most of our time, showing us around and explaining everything. They also assigned to us a private chef who prepared breakfast, lunch pack and dinner every day. The meals were simple but tasty and we were absolutely pleased with the food. The tour itself is just stunning. The Panorama camp site is well equipped with electricity, bar, clean toilets and a spectacular view of Manyara lake. The Seronera pimbi campsite was very basic but offered a memorable experience, with the real taste of the Safari. Although the campsites were simple the staff made our stay very comfortable.
My wife and I would like to remark the trustability of Jalala. He made sure to meet us before departure to immediately refund us some money we paid at the entrance of the National Park, which was not included in the initial budget. We believe it's extremely rare to find such trustworthy people and we highly recommend AAA Express Adventures for safaris.
