It was a spectacular experience!
When my wife asked me to go to Africa I immediately said no. I was a very reluctant traveler to Africa because I worried about safety and health issues.
I have just returned and I have to admit how wrong I was and what a great trip I had. Understand that we went to Tanzania & Zanzibar. At no time did we venture near the problematic areas that have been in the news these past few years. The people in both countries were friendly and outgoing and extended every courtesy to us as well as all the other travelers we saw.
Over 90% of the success of our 3 week trip can be directly attributed to the folks at Breakdown Safari. They took care of us from the time we landed at the airport in Dar Es Salem to returning us to the airport 3 weeks later.
Right from the start Breakdown Safaris communicated with my wife about suggestions for where to go, what to do, what not to do etc. In the middle of our planning we had to do a major shift in plans. They accommodated us and re arranged everything so that our schedule would work out. They let us know who and how much we needed to tip. We ate dinner with them and had some great conversations with them about their business, about Africa
We went on two different safaris with them. They picked us up in a clean modern truck rigged for safari. The different “camps” we stayed in were neat, clean and superior to some of the hotels I have stayed in for business travel within the US. Any little problem that came up they immediately rectified the situation.
At each camp site the respective owners or managers were the first to welcome us and made every effort to take care of our needs. This was a reflection on the Breakdown Safari staff who had done their homework in selecting camps that were up to their own standards.
Breakdown Safaris is the way to go if you are going to go on safari in Africa. They can and will give you suggestions based on your input, plan and execute your safari vacation flawlessly.
If anyone has any questions about them please send me an email and I would be happy to answer any and all questions.

Exquisite African Experience! The most amazing way to see and experience wild Africa.
From start to finish, Natureways are incredibly professional and attentive. From emails regarding the booking until the end of our trip. Having enjoyed safaris in various parts of Southern Africa, including Hwange and Kruger, Natureways canoe safaris has been the most spectacular in terms of customer service, customer experience. The food on the trip was just incredible, baring in mind we're in a camp. The staff during the trip were extremely knowledgable and professional and we always felt safe and in good hands. We felt so welcome and staff couldn't do enough for us. Great humour and a genuine love for wildlife, we cannot wait to return. This is definitely the way to experience Africa. The Zambezi river is breathtaking and Mana Pools was picture-book Africa, with elephants, one evening leopard, the sound of lion..... I couldn't list everything we saw... But this trip is by far a lifetime experience one would never forget. Thank you to everyone at Natureways!

Incredible trip down the Zambesi
I went on a Tamarind canoe safari from Chirundu to Mana pools, its hard to write down what an amazing time I had on the trip. The organization was amazing, the guides were professional and knowledgeable, catering was fantastic, and the wildlife was absolutely amazing!!!. Even though we had to take all our provisions for the trip with us from day 1 it was still a very relaxing and not strenuous. I would strongly recommend this trip and company to anyone who would ask.

Great experience!
We went on a 11 day tour in Uganda this summer (2015). The service of Matoke Tours was above our expectations! We had a mix of budget and mid-range accomodations. Both were very pleasing.
We were on a private tour, so only me and my girlfriend on board, which was great considering the flexibility we had on our everyday agenda.
We had the best guide of all, Anatoli! He was simply great in all aspect: lots of experience, funny, great storytelling, etc.
You shouldn't be worried to go with Matoke Tours for your Ugandan safari.

It was one of the best trips done this company. We did and covered most of the parks we planed to visit and also saw most of the animals out of our expectations. Thank you Dancom Tours.

Kelley did a great job with our trip. There were multiple people, each with their own schedules, requirements, and payment methods, and Kelley worked it all out without a hitch. Thanks for a great experience!!

Namibian Explorer
I did a 10 day tour which as a first time visitor was a perfect introduction. Although we travelled long distances it never felt rushed and we saw a broad variety of landscapes. Our guide and camp assistant were excellent and definitely helped make it a memorable trip.
