The most amazing experience ever
The whole trip was organised to our needs and wants. Brendon and Bev made sure all our questions were answered and checked in throughout the trip. This reassured us as two females travelling to South Africa for the first time they made us feel safe. We were picked up by Bhekifa from Johannesburg, he was an amazing driver and very knowledgeable and had so much love for the animals when talking about them. Our tour guide on the morning Game was Trevor, he managed to find 4/5 animals of the big 5 within the first hour of our drive. He was so passionate and knowledgeable on all the animals and Kruger National park. The Accomodation we were provided exceeded our expectations. Zarafa was our first stop and absolutely breathtaking, so beautiful and the service from the staff and owner was so accomodating to our needs. Overall had the best time on our 5 day safari tour with the Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris and you should definitely book with this company.

An amazing experience, in the truly “Hakuna Matata”-spirit
We’ve enjoyed the 8 days Great Migration-safari. Our first safari experience, that exceeded our expectations since we have seen all The Big Five animals.
One of the highlights of the trip was the crossing of the animals of the Mara River in the North of Serengeti. If you have enough time, it’s totally worth it to make the detour.
Our holiday started out with a bummer, because our luggage had not arrived. Faraja and our guide Gilbert have done a lot of effort to keep in touch with the Lost and found-department of the airport. They made sure that the bags were delivered to us, which was very much appreciated.
All communication with the agency via Whatsapp was clear and friendly, all timings were respected.
About our guide Gilbert: he has done a maximal effort to make us spot as many animals as possible. He’s a really nice guy to spend many hours in the car with. (Both in English and French)
Concerning hotels and meals: also no complaints at all. Diners in the hotels were nice and well arranged, as well as the lunchboxes prepared to take on our daily adventures.
Certainly this has been a holiday never to forget!

Amazing, affordable and top-notch tour services by Tedwats Expeditions!
It was a privilege and a wise decision to travel to Maasai Mara with this company. The costs were very reasonable and well-suited for my trip, and the hotel services we chose were among the best I’ve experienced. Kudos to Tedwats Expeditions!
The experience was truly worthwhile, and I look forward to travelling with you again!

Unforgettable experience
We’ve done the 8 days Great Migration-Safari with Gilbert as our guide.
We’re very pleased about the communication with the agency via Whatsapp during our trip. Timings were clear and respected at all times. Hotels were comfortable.
We’ve had the time of our life, spotting all The Big Five-animals, including a baby lion and a baby leopard.
Thanks to our guide Gilbert, a very sociable person to hang around with during our trips. He shares some facts and figures about the animals on the safari, and he always tries to go an extra mile to spot as many animals as possible.

Sensational!
Due to a very competitive environment with various services/agencies available online we found researching for a safari trip overwhelming, not to mention uncertainty around whom we could place our trust. Our friends whom returned from a similar trip to Kenya spoke highly of Earthwings and we immediately contacted Martin.
Martin, owner of Earthwings, was instrumental in designing a trip of a life-time for us. He's not only responsive to our many questions but also very knowledgeable with various suggestions. As a result of his guidance, we decided to go with an 11-day trip visiting 7 parks:
1. Samburu National Reserve
2. Ol Pejeta Conservancy
3. Lake Nakuru National Park
4. Maasai Mara National Reserve
5. Lake Naivasha
6. Amboseli National Park
7. Tsavo West National Park
Tough Martin was unable to be our guide, he had Charlie (nickname Bush Pilot) took us. Charlie is absolutely the BEST, highly ranked and very well known in the industry. He has over 20 years of experience - this is critical in the success of finding the Big 5 (lion, leopard, African buffalo, elephant, and rhinoceros) and we were able to see 4 out of 5 in our first day! In fact, we saw many lions on that day which is unheard of. Not to mention we also saw a mama cheetah and her cub that day!
Charlie navigates comfortable through challenging terrains. In fact he was able to help another inexperienced guide in getting his truck unstuck from a sandy road. Some new friends we met in Nairobi went with a different company/guide, they experienced challenges and delay in their trip. Sadly they were not able to see all Big 5.
Having a trustworthy tour company and experienced guide are of outmost importance - Earthwings is able to deliver all and then some.
We highly recommend Earthwings and would 100% go with them again. In fact, our friends and family have expressed interest so Martin will be hearing from us soon.
Martin and Charlie - thank you for making this trip unforgettable for us!

Very informative and funny, easy going
The safari tour was great! Andrew was such a nice guy, and this journey would not have been the same without him!
We did the budget options, which was really exiting and gave us real insight to life on the african savanna.
Our guide was a really good driver, and made sure we always felt safe in the Kenyan traffic. Lifetime experience. Lifelong memories.
