A wonderful trip with a great guide and driver
Tanzania is maybe not the best country to take on a self drive Safari which is our normal method. Instead we used the services of Ernest of Chabo who provided us with safety, security, and fantastic game experiences in the southern park areas. We rounded off with a few days at the beach on the mainland, again first class.

A true and unique wildlife experience!
I have had the best time on this bush trip/ranger experience organised by Elela Africa. Sandra is a true professional in every sense of the word: she promptly replies to emails, is knowledgeable, delivers great personal service, and is above all passionate about Africa and wildlife conservation. The entire trip was perfectly organised from A-Z!
Our one week bush trip was filled with game drives, walking safaris, sleep outs, but also talks and discussions on wildlife conservation for those who were interested. The locations were simply stunning and it was great to stay in two places with such different and diverse landscapes. A sleep out on a hilltop, sundowners at a baobab tree high up on a rock whilst watching wildlife passing below, a super close encounter with a young male elephant, sing-alongs around the campfire on a dry riverbed, hearing all kinds of animal sounds/calls at night...this trip was filled with highlights. Being out there in the bush, back to basics really intensified the experience. A real treat for the senses!
So if you’re looking to spend some time in the bush and have a true and unique wildlife (conservation) experience , I can highly recommend it.

I totally made the right choice with Cul Tours & Safaris; a wonderful adventure and experience.
I am not a tour guide kind of traveller so I was hesitant to sign on with a tour company, but I am very happy that I used Cul Tours for this trip to Murchison Falls National Park. Stephen was prompt in all our correspondence and tried always to do what he could to arrange my trip to meet my desires. He arranged for me to see and do every single thing I wanted during my very limited time. Solomon, my guide and driver from Cul Tours, was a safe and courteous driver (to pedestrians and other drivers) which was very important to me. He's a wealth of information about his country, which made the drive-time additionally interesting. He truly seems to enjoy his career as a travel guide. Because Cul Tours & Safaris is a small, locally owned company, I received exceptional service, and my comfort and satisfaction was clearly a priority for them. Highly recommended, without reservation.

A once in a lifetime experience, thank you Extraordinary Africa
Alex organised an amazing trip for us gorilla trekking in Rwanda, probably one of the most emotional experience of our lives. The highlight was obviously coming face to face with a silver back whilst his babies scampered around us but the golden monkey trek did not disappoint either. Our guide was also wonderful, he was a wealth of knowledge and keen for us to see and learn as much as we could during our time in Rwanda. Our trip was everything and more than we expected we only wish could have stayed longer. We would not hesitate to recommend Alex, in fact we have already discussed a future trip to Africa and will be using Alex for that too

The Lodge at Pilanesburg, the safari, the staff were amazing. The tours, tour guide in CP as well!
Christel was amazing and the trip would not have been as wonderful as it was without her help! The itinerary she set for our group, especially since we had time constraints, was so perfect. There were so many small details that made the trip which catered to our group and it made all the difference. Not only did I have all the help and assistance inthe planning, I also appreciated her availability while in SA. I will definitely recommend Round Afric Travel again with glowing reports. Thnaks for the one in a lifetime trip!

Our 4-day gorilla trekking safari.
We did a 4-day gorilla trekking safari. The safari looked so packed with lots of activities that we were keen to see that they are all fulfilled. Indeed, they were all fulfilled. This is how it went: On our first day, we went to Queen Elizabeth national park were we had a game drive and saw lots of animals like the leopards, Elephants, Lions ,and hyenas. We took a two-hour evening cruise and this was so great. It gave us nice scenery for game viewing, and bird watching. I took photos of these huge crocodiles, it was so stunning.
Day 2 was basically travelling from Queen Elizabeth to Bwindi Impenetrable forest we were going to do gorilla trekking. Along the way, we saw climbing lions and this was another plus into our journey. We arrived at a very accommodating lodge were we spent a night.
The next day which I would regard as day 3 was the indeed a great day. in the morning, we were briefed by the authorities about what and what not to do. We both hired porters because we needed their service. These guys carry your load and you just concentrate on trekking. As we started penetrating this thick shrubby forest, we were listening to birds singing their morning songs. We started moving along this steep forest. We moved for some time without seeing these gorillas. We expected that as soon as you get to the forest, we shall immediately see the gorillas but we realized that these animals have their own schedules and plans. After about one hour and twenty minutes, the guide notified us of their presence. We were so much attracted to the baby gorilla because of its playing mode. I took videos and photos of this moment. Our last day was coming back to Kampala to prepare our journey back home. We stopped at Igongo cultural Centre for lunch where we were served with amazing local dishes. There was so much to take from the trip and it was definitely worth every single penny.
Thank you to the wonderful team at Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris . The guide was so accommodating and narrative.

First-class service coupled with in-depth local knowledge - incredible experience!
Just back from the most incredible trip custom-designed by Debbie. She took our vague brief and translated it into the most unforgettable experience, with absolutely no fuss, exceptional professionalism, good humour, and a wonderful personal touch. Our party of 4 was blown away by the whole experience, and felt like royalty from the beginning. She put together the perfect tour for us, which completely surpassed our expectations on every level. Highly, HIGHLY recommend using Experience Africa - for international travellers, as well as local travellers. Best trip EVER!

Highly Recommend Wild Africa
I have recently returned from a fantastic 5 week adventure in southern Africa which was my first time on the African continent.
My trip was approximately 50% self planned/managed and 50% through Robert at Wild Africa,
All my dealings with Robert were top notch. He was highly professional, a good communicator and provided excellent documentation.
Robert recommended Motswari in the Timbavati as one of my safari stays and this was a brilliant recommendation.
I would happily use Robert again and recommend him most highly.
