Once in a lifetime experience
This was a once in a lifetime experience. Joseph drove us through incredible landscapes, filled with all kinds of wildlife. We saw elephants, giraffes, lions, hienas, zebras, and an endless number of other animals up close. Joseph knows everything about these animals and takes the time to explain everything in detail. He had answers to all our questions and helped us understand what we were seeing, which made the experience even better. He really is a wonderful guide.
Tarangire and the Ngorongoro crater are two amazing landmarks on their own, so even the chance of driving through them is already worth it.
In sum, the experience was outstanding and I would definitely choose African Choice again.

Incredible 5-Day Safari
Sawa sawa! An incredible experience with Mufasa Tours and our trusted driver/guide Collin. It was an experience of a lifetime that my fiancee and I cannot recommend enough. The selected stays at the safari camps far exceeded our expectations. We stayed in luxury tent camps at Ol Pajeta, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. The service at each was outstanding. Collin went above and beyond to ensure that we saw everything we dreamed of - sunrises and sunsets on the savanna, up close and personal with the Big Five, herds of zebra, buffalo, impalas, hippos - all that Kenyan nature had to offer. Collin also organized a special sundowner for us and some picnics. He is a very sweet man, an awesome driver on challenging safari terrain and a knowledgeable guide. Go for the Land Cruiser. Communication with Mufasa was helpful and prompt on whatsapp. Great value for money. Outstanding service overall.
Asante sana!

Fabulous trip to Namib, Kalahari and Cape Town
I, along with 8 friends of mine used the services of Bluecrane Safairs, Namibia for a custom-built itinerary on the territory of both Namibia and South Africa. As usual, we did a combination of accommodated and camping overnights, so we could have varied experience and the best possible locations.
Derek, the owner of the company did a great job with planning and all the arrangements for the trip. We used again their very comfortable 4X4 customized safari vehicles. The guides Sedny and Seven were perfect with every aspect and every little detail of their work - driving, wildlife guiding, setting up camp, cooking, communicating with us. We all felt like a family, rather than just beeing offered a service.
We spent 11 days with the guides in the Namib and Kalahari deserts in Namibia and South Africa and after that flew to Cape Town for a couple of nights, where Derek had arranged great tours and accommodation with a local partner company.
We are all very, very happy with the tour and I am looking impatiently forward to our next trip to Namibia and Zimbabwe (different itinerary) with Bluecrane Safaris in August this year.
Once again, thank you very much Derek, Sedny and Seven for your hard work and professional attitude!

Joe our driver was absolutely amazing.
We were picked at our abode at around 10am and left for Nairobi National Park. Joe was so accomodating, he even let us borrow his binoculars at some point. He was quite educating and taught us a lot about wildlife. He was also experienced as he knew strategic locations and how to locate the lions and rhinos using the radio walkie talkie. It was much fun!

Tanja was so amazing
So I booked a trip to namibia last year and was so excited about this trip planned by tanja. This trip was so well planned with a few days inbetween to chill and go through pictures. I loved every part of the tour even the African massage roads. Chalemon was the group that we did our tours with and they were so accommodating and helpful. We had some amazing stays in the desert and sossusvlei and Etosha did not dissapoint. Such a truely amazing experience. Tanja was on WhatsApp available whenever she was needed and fantastic communication throughout. Worth every penny! When I come back to Africa will be using this company again can not fault it or their team.

Amazing experience
100% recommend Suricata Safaris. We had the most amazing safari experience and it exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Hilary was quick to respond and very helpful when our travel plans changed so we didn’t miss any safari time. Fred was the best guide we saw the big 5 and then some. Fred is very knowledgeable and great at what he does. Our chef Tito was also the best we did not expect the food to be so great. Having a hot meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner was amazing and unlike any other tour company.

Amazing Honeymoon with Freka African Holidays
Freka Afican Holidays is one of the best tour operators in Uganda, we booked a four days tour for our honeymoon, We visited Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Kibale Forest National Park with a break in the middle Lake Bunyonyi, we really enjoyed coming up close with gentle giants, the mountain gorillas, we like our accommodations from Rushaga, Lake Bunyonyi and Kibale, they were clean and had nice views too, like in Rushaga we could view the volcanos, our guide Ronald was informative and very friendly, always at service whenever we need any assistance, We highly recommend Freka African Holidays and looking forward to using them again.

Look no further for Safari!
So ... after having some issues with another safari tour company... asking 100$ extra after picking us up and on destinstion for 20mins.
Decided ... what is the rest of the tour going to be.
Scanned reviews .... came across one that really stood out.
Meek Trails. Emailed Daniel the owner and asked for a quote and iternary ideas.
Within an hour, he replied. With a reasonable budget and catered for all our wishes, of what we would like to do in Massai Mara .
Pick up was easy, reasonalably timed. Was greeted with huge smiles from Daniel and our guide James which he allocated personally to us for our trip.
Gave us souvenir safari hats (we really needed them, and wore the whole time).
Again after a brief discussion in the vechile, he was happy and so wete we about plans. He left and we proceeded within the extremely capable hands of James.
He discussed what the plan was a d what stops we would make... and if we wanted extra, no problem.
James is a very safe and friendly person to be left in his care.
James really shines, when you ask and interact with him.
He cares deeply about your experience.
After a short but sweet stop at the great rift valley. We came upon our accommodation, we were so lucky to even see wildlife which he was very quick to point out.
After a nice lazy couple of hours checking in, we went on our first game drive.
We were well watered, with a huge ice box of water just for us.
Daniel and James had completely handled the process of reserve tickets and accommodation, making it incredibly effortless and smooth.
Our game drive was incredible. Over 2 and half hours, james had used his unique instinctive knowledge where we would see the amazing wildlife. We left seeing hyena, Lion, buffalo, a herd of elephants, lots of giraffes, all types of antelope and so much more.
We had a very nice evening on return, and James picked us up the following morning early. Whilst constantly asking us if we were happy with the plans, he had suggested.
The second full day of game drives were out of this world. James was very adaptive, and always used his wondeful experience to position us for optimised viewing of the wildlife. Very often we found the landcrusisers following James instinct.
Here i want to say a point on 4x4 and landcrusiers. We found it a bit like.... my vechile is considerably better than yours....dont be fooled. We were in a combi van (Toyota Laci), with a huge sunroof.
We were able to have the tour completely bespoke just for us 2.
We navigated around the van so easily and had better visibility than most in a landcrusier , especially when sharing. James didnt even mind when my short ass needed on a couple of occasions to stand on the seats.
He even organised us a lunch picnic, where we had stunning views and laughed and reminised about what we had just enjoyed.
After a long day seeing incredible interactions. Leaving us feeling like we were in a live BBC documentary ( 4 lions were stalking a buffalo)...
Went to bed extremely perplexed and could not believe our luck.
Final day we made our way to lake naivasha.
Gorgeous drive, we arrived and got met with a great Guide for our lake tour.
Very unique and fulfulling experience. We saw lots of families of hippo. Including an incredible bank sunning of 8 hippos. Always felt safe and cared for.
Incredible amount of bird species, from a very knowledgeable guide.
After that we wandered how could this possibly get better.
We found so with our walking safari tour, again with another very enthusiastic guide. We were able to encounter very closely wild giraffes (inc. A baby of 2 months), and expectant mother.
Learning so much,we left so satsfied we had experienced the best of safari.... ps. We saw a leopard
We could not recommend Meek Trails enough. And if youre luck enough to get a perosnalised plan from Daniel and James as your guide. Snap it up!
There are not many like this team out there!
We opted for mid range and massively over delivered.
If you can... try stretch to mid range its sooooo worth it.
Thanks Daniel and James. We will never forget our experiences.
