An unforgettable experience !
Having been confused by a multitude of safaris on offer we were fortunate to have a friend recommend African Welcome Safaris.
From our initial enquiry Kathi Simon was welcoming, efficient and quickly gained our trust, which was particularly important to us, considering the transfer of money necessary.
Kathi acknowledged our requests and organised a safari to suit us. All arrangements worked perfectly and all personnel were friendly and efficient.
The safaris were more than expected with Camp Okavango being a highlight. We particularly enjoyed the walking safari and felt the animals were truly wild.
We had complete trust in our wonderful guide, Zac, which was tested on a few occasions!
Everyone, on the ground & in the air made us feel really special & welcome....could not have done more!
I even had a Birthday cake made for me, along with a rendition of Happy Birthday sung in the local language!
I t was SO special....I cried with emotion!
This was a trip I'd dreamed about & it turned out to be so much more....unforgettable!!!

in the park.
* Morris was well informed, terrific at spotting wildlife, and extremely helpful and accommodating.
* We believe we got a bargain for our buck. We highly recommend this tour!

Exciting South Aftican Safari!
We booked a family trip/safari to South Africa with Chris. He spent a lot of time getting our intentions and ideas right and made suggestions that were tailor made for us. A mother and three daughters traveling together - we definitely had lots of questions and concerns regarding the usual travel issues. Everything was booked and unexpectedly one of the daughters needed an emergency medical operation. Chris was away at the time, but picked up his emails, got on the situation right away and made alternate arrangements, rerouted flights etc. Three of us went and enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We are avid travelers and we have never used an agent before. I don't believe we could have done it without his expertise. The hotels offered excellent service and honestly we cannot thing of a negative. Well, one, my youngest didn't get to go ..... but we already have Chris on that one!

James is incredible!!!
From the moment we arrived in Arusha and James picked us up at the airport to going our seperate ways, the experience was incredible. First thing I noticed was how nice the vehicle was. And how clean and organized everything was. The safari vehicle had a power strip in it for charging phones, camera batteries and power my breast pump. We got dropped off at a beautiful hotel for the evening and started our adventure bright and early. James is a great city and 4x4 driver. We saw everything we were hoping for. Cheetas with babies, elphants, birds of all kinds, buffalo, zebra, wildebeast, lions galore, monkeys, baboons, the near extinct rhinos and tons more! Our stay the second night was top notch luxury accomodations. I would reccomend anyone use Lion King Adventures!

Pilanesberg National Park
Had a great tour and a most pleasant experience including hotel pick-up and return, our expert guide Johann was most knowledgeable, full of interesting stories and a perfect driver/ranger.
Recommend highly- Peter Herr

Ecological Wilderness Adventures far surpassed my expectations.
Our trip with Ecological Wilderness Adventures was a wonderful and memorable experience. The entire trip was well organized and we always knew what to expect for accommodations and daily viewings. The food was great and I'm surprised I didn't gain much weight. I really enjoyed the days when we had picnic lunches and breakfasts - it was fun to eat lunch in the field.
The viewing was incredible and ALL three of our guides (Brian, Amiri, and Gerald) are extremely knowable. Their experiences with animal habits and interaction made the trip very educational. We saw everything one would want to see on a safari and up close! My personal favorite is the cheetah and we saw a lot of cats - lions, leopards, serval cats, & cheetah's. I won't list all the animals we saw but we saw them all multiple times and many times close enough to use and iPhone!
The camps were very comfortable and the staff was very friendly and always willing to help make our days as comfortable as possible. Everything was extremely clean - cooking facilities, dining area, sleeping accommodations and camp tents.
I would like to return to enjoy the wonderful viewing but I would also like to see out three guides again. I feel like I make three good friends - Brian, Amiri, Gerald.

Kalangala Expedition
When i got in touch with Adventure Expedition, i was blown away by the warmth of service and the attentiveness of Angel. You know how Ugandans mistreat their clients once the money is in....not with this service though.
Everything was easy and comfortable with no need to ask whether all the promised arrangements had been done.
It was a beautiful experience.
I highly recommend the services of Adventure Expeditions and Angel...oh and the driver was not over speeding!!!
Thank you for a wonderful mini-holiday.
