Excellent tour & experience
I would like to praise Friendship African Adventure Safari for a great safari experience.
We saw many special animals and their unique acts thanks to Charles - our guide. Charles was patient, answring to all of our questions and always kept us updated due to his vast knowledge about the safari's life.
The jeep was always clean due to his daily maintenance. There were always bottles of water which was very important due to the heat.
I definitely would recommend!

You cannot better perfection in organizing a tour that met and surpassed all out expections.
After meeting Jonathon and giving him a list of places and things we wanted to see he arranged a holiday of a lifetime. As we were 2 ladies travelling alone we required to be met at each city and arrange for transport and personal guided tours. Our 3 days in Cape Town accom and tours well organised. Our 9 day safari with Letaka Tented Camp in the Okavango Delta taking in Moremi, Khwai and Chobe Areas was magic. Our guide Matambo a walking encyclopedia. We saw all the animals including 3 different leopards at very close range. Our safari staff and organisation fantastic. Meals and comfort first class. Our accommodation in Victoria Falls, ,Johannesburg, Nairobi, excellent. Lastly our 3 day safari in Masai Mara staying at the Sentinel Mara Camp which is a permanent camp situated on the Mari River. Words cannot describe this camp, glamour and luxurious tenting, owned and run by Peter and Wendy Dwycross. Peter, Wendy, Minny our hostess, and staff very professional. The meals, including lunch and breakfast in the bush, were 5 star. Our guide Jackson, found our cheetahs, and to see the great migration and this sight will remain with us forever. We also had the privilege of visiting a Masai village and meeting the villagers who danced and sang for us. Our reasons for going to Kenya were to see both the migration and visit a village. And so came the end of a magnificent holiday organised with perfection down to the last minor detail. Thank you Jonathon and the staff at Encompass Africa.
Amazing family adventure
We travelled to South Africa in June this year with our 2 children aged 11 and 14. Encompass Africa organised the whole trip, with every detail apart from international airfares. The trip was incredible, we loved Cape Town and the tours we took there (uthando, winery tour and Cape peninsula) and then the 3 Safari lodges that we experienced( Chitwa Chitwa, Tswalu and Madikwe). Danica from encompass Africa is so enthusiastic, it was hard to choose which trip to take there were so many incredible opportunities! The accommodation in every place was excellent in every place, we were even accommodated in an alternative lodge in Madikwe after a fire destroyed the family lodging. The trip was exceptional in every way and the organisation is second to none. We can’t wait to go back.

Excellent accommodation, food and game viewing.
I went with Transek Safaris to four parks in Kenya. Daniel organised a private safari for me to suit specific dates and this was very satisfactory. Peter our guide and driver was very obliging and was able to locate all the game I wanted to see including the black rhino and elusive leopard in Masai Mara. Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

Excellent experience start to finish. Look forward to planning another Safari Tour with the team.
The tour matched and exceeded all expectations. Friendly knowledgable staff helped us to plan the itenary and every camp gave a different but always extremely enjoyable experience. Safari drives were excellent with guides determined to give us the best view of the location and the birds and game. Staff from Timbuktu were always available before and during the trip to give advice and help if necessary. There were no hitches, we travelled to four locations and all transfers went like clockwork. It was honestly the holiday of a lifetime and I would have no hesitation in recommending the team who will help you plan an unforgettable experience to match your expectations.

Reliable travel partner in Tanzania
My first experience with Godfrey, manager of Absolutely Amazing Kili and Travel dates back to January 2010, when I did a Kilimanjaro climb with him. Since then, I use his services for individuals or small groups. Because what is more than returning customer, right?
If you look for a reliable partner in Tanzania, look no further.

It was amazing.
My Tanzania Safari holiday went very well - exactly as planned. Every connection was there on on time, be they 'meet and greet', transfer drivers or guides. Always on time, friendly and efficient. Tour guides and safari guides all very knowledgeable and committed to providing their clients with memorable activities.
We chose the 15 day bush to beach luxury safari. The price was amazingly worth the trip.
Game drives in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti are all excellent in themselves but differ from each other in scale and diversity, Accommodation was always good or better, with excellent efficient and friendly staff. Zanzibar Breezes Beach Club so different but all excellent in their own right.
Thanks to the vacation2africa team for bringing our dream to reality.

Amazing!
We took a six day safari tour from Amboseli to Naivasha and then Maasai mara and it was amazing. The driver Andrew is the boss, one of the nicest persons I have met. He showed us everything we wanted. Accomodation was on point, especialy lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge was unbelievable. So in conclusion, if I ever go back I will surely take your company again!
