Best Trip Ever!
It was our first time visiting South Africa and we couldn't have picked a better partner to lead us through the journey! Shikwaru Adventures had absolutely everything planned for us and was always prepared for any questions we could have. They did an AMAZING job organizing and planning our trip - from the minute we arrived in Johannesburg until the minute we left to Cape Town. Our safari adventure with Tambuti Lodge was also wonderful and we are so so happy and thankful with their service and hospitality. Every hotel and lodging that Shikwaru included in their itinerary was amazing, but the definite highlight of our trip was the Safari at Black Rhino Reserve, which they recommended we visit (as it was our first time) and we are so glad we listened to them. Truly exceptional! Shikwaru also kindly offered to help us through our Cape Town visit with recommendations as well as a two-day guided tour of the wineries and the Peninsula, and again, truly amazing and dedicated service and guide.
We are so thankful so so glad that we chose Shikwaru Adventures on our first (and hopefully not last) trip to South Africa! Federica and team were truly a pleasure to work with!

Fantastic safari experience!
Time on our safari was fantastic! We loved that Wayfairer set us up with Basecamp Wilderness camp. Their mission, involvement in conservation efforts, and investment in the Masai people was wonderful to hear about and we felt very glad to support their company. 4 days, 3 nights was a great amount of time to be on safari. We saw so many incredible animals - including 16 lions, a jaguar, and 6 cheetah! There was a little bit of confusion about when we were leaving from the staff, but we got it all cleared away.

Climbed Kilimanjaro, the Rongai route, and then did a 2 day safari. Etrip was Outstanding
Etrip did an excellent job communicating during the planning our trip, following up and then exceeded all our expectations during our trip. Our guides, especially Davis for our trek up Kilimanjaro, went above and beyond to make sure it was a trip of a lifetime. The porters, cook, and crew consistently gave fantastic service, were cheerful, and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable. They sang to us on arriving at camp, provided amazing food, and spent time with us in the afternoons going on exploratory hikes.
Our safari was organized through etrip and our guide David (different from Davis) did an amazing job as well. He we incredibly friendly, knowledgable and patient. I have nothing but the highest praise for Etrip and the staff, communications, and planning that went into our trip.
Thank you so much

Absolutely fantastic - can’t recommend enough
We had an excellent trip with Savannah Sound Safaris. Organisation before the trip was great. We booked two separate ones as we had different numbers in the party at different times and for both the organisation and choices we were offered were fantastic and varied, and we saw some amazing things! Danson is super professional, helpful and very knowledgable about the parks and animals, and he made our safari a really memorable time. The other drivers we encountered were great too.
Accommodation selection was excellent and all logistics ran perfectly smoothly while we were there - we didn’t have to think or worry about anything so got to spend the maximum time enjoying our holiday.
We couldn’t recommend Savannah Sound Safaris enough, we had a fantastic time and would book with them again in an instant if we went back to Kenya.

Outstanding service with breathtaking adventure!
My friend and I had the most incredible experience with Bateleur Eagle Safaris. We stayed at the most amazing lodges, resorts and bush camps. Our guide Mathew made the experience 5 star for us. Everything was handled from the beginning, we didn't have to worry about a single thing except to have the most life-changing trip we could have ever imagined. There was no small detail left out, the service was impeccable and their knowledge of Africa and the animals was truly awesome. We were so happy, we are booking with them again in the near future, this time to see the Masai Mara. Look no further than Bateleur Eagle Safaris, your life-changing memories are waiting for you!

Very comfortable and great food
The communication with Chacha was super easy. He picked us up from the airport and welcomed us in a great way.
Harun and his crew were always cheery and happy and the food was very good. Many people that went with other crews got sick along the way, none of us did. We were very well taken care of!
It was an amazing trip and I would highly recommend the Africa Endless Cruising crew to anyone (I already did, and they also loved it).

Safaris to Lakes Navaisha and Nakuru, and to Masai Mara
We had a wonderful time on all four days of the tour, which included the Navaisha Lake boat ride, the Nakuru Park safari, and the Masai Mara safaris. Our driver and guide was Patrick who drove safely, and who also make every effort to have us see all the possible animals in the parks. When news of a special animal siting came across the radio, he would get us there in time and park the vehicle in just the right spot to get an excellent view of the animals. This is especially the case for the male lion sighting and the leopard siting. If we saw a special sighting, he informed the other drivers about it, for example, the sighting of cheetahs. He also had a wealth of knowledge about the animals as we sighted them.

The tour was fantastic--a dream come true for experiencing Africa's wildlife and scenery up close!
Alan Kimaro took care of every detail for our safari--transportation, safety, wonderful commentary, and a one-in-a-lifetime experience of Ngorongoro Crater. The vehicle was comfortable and safe; Alan is an excellent driver. Because of his familiarity with the area, we were treated to many stories and details during the tour. His expertise and many years of conducting safaris meant that we were driven to specific locations to maximize our chances of seeing different wildlife. Lions strolling right by our vehicle, elephants stripping trees for food--and having a standoff in front of us!, hippos in the lake, hyenas running by. It was an incredible day for making memories, and taking hundreds of pictures. I highly recommend this company to you!
