Amazing Uganda!
I was in Uganda for 3,5 week and it was amazing! We were in a group of 10 people and had Robert and David as guides. They were really nice and had a huge knowledge about the nature, animals and the wildlife in general.
We drove around i Uganda and slept at different locations so we got to see a lot of Uganda. At the same time we were at 3 different game drives in 3 national parks where we got to see lions, giraffes, buffaloes, elephants, antelopes and many more animals. We also went on the gorilla and chimpanzee trekking - the gorilla trekking was definitely the best experience in Uganda!
All in all, I higly recommend Cheetah Safaris Uganda! They're really great and I had a wonderful trip to Uganda!

Excellent service and guide.
We visited South Africa from 8th to 18th May. Our entire itinerary was put together by your company and I am extremely pleased to say that everything went off beautifully! we were extremely happy with the way everything had been planned and I would not hesitate to recommend you to any friends who might want to visit. I would like to specially mention our guide Mr Havelyn, who was with us on the garden route, he was such good company and full of information! We never had a single dull moment! Eventually he became a very good friend! Thanks again for the excellent service.

Fantastic family safari - with Safari Infinity
Booking a safari in Tanzania is quite a challenge since there are so many safari companies to choose from - so having said that, we had requested quotes from many places and the reason we chose Safari Infinity was their prompt replies and turn around times to answer our questions, and they were able to get us reservations at the camps and lodges that we wanted (even though we were booking all this at the last minute). We definitely made the right choice! They stayed in touch through out the entire week ensuring we were enjoying the trip and even tried to acommodate changes that we wanted to make at the last minute.
To summarize, there were 7 of us on safari - 2 Grandparents, 2 parents and 3 children (ages 9, 5, 5). We had the option of either booking 2 vehicles or to squeeze in to 1. We opted to travel together in 1 vehicle - mostly because we thought it would be more fun that way, although, on the days we had luggage (going from camp to camp) it felt a little cramped.
Our driver/guide - Tumaini was excellent. He went the extra mile to get us to see animals that were on our priority list (he knew just where to go and when to go - we just had to trust him!). He was very knowledgeable- especially when he was grilled with hundreds of questions by our 9 year old! He did his best to ensure our comfort during the safari - and with 3 kids in the car, we always had a clean vehicle every morning. His driving skills were excellent - not only at getting us out of a muddy river bed for example, but also maneuvering so that we had the best view of the pride of lions enjoying a kill, when there were at least 15 other cars all trying to get to the front!
We started our tour in Arusha for one night, then on to Tarangire for half day, and then to Ngorongoro (& Beyond Ngorongoro Crater lodge) for 2 nights, Pioneer camp for 2 nights (central Serengeti) and then Bushtops (northern Serengeti) for 2 nights. The only thing we would have changed is to either skip Tarangire or to spend a night in Tarangire. With young kids, we started off on the 1st day with about 6 -7 hours in the car which was just a little too much and we were not able to enjoy the fabulous facilities at the & Beyond Ngorongoro crater lodge.
All in all, a very enjoyable safari and would definitely recommend Safari Infinity to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary!

Mr. Ernest Chiwanga, at Worldwide Safaris Tanzania, a most exceptional guide.
I cannot write a review about Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD because I have not, as yet, been able to take a safari with this company. I have, however, had the good fortune to be on a Mountain Travel Sobek trip in July, 2014 in Tanzania with Mr. Ernest Chiwanga, one of the leaders and guides for our group of 10. I have stayed in touch with Mr. Chiwanga since my 2014 trip and learned that he is now leading safaris with Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD and had his first group last month. They were lucky people to have Mr. Chiwanga as their guide! He is an extraordinary person, very knowledgeable about Tanzania and very interested in the animals of his country. He was a wonderful guide and a very nice person too. I do hope, someday, to be able to make another safari in Tanzania with Mr. Chiwanga through Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD as I know it will be a very rewarding experience. I fell in love with Africa on my 2014 trip (my first trip there). The people who made my trip so interesting, like Mr. Chiwanga, the unique places we visited and the beautiful animals and birds we saw made it a trip of a lifetime for me. My only fear is that continued poaching I read about almost daily will kill off all of the beautiful elephants, rhinos and other animals in Tanzania and throughout Africa and then there will be little reason to visit that wonderful place. Sincerely, Jacquelyn Wilson

They're experts and it shows
We used ATI to organize a 12 days self drive tour in Namibia.
During the planning process, Corinna (our agent) was patient, respectful and provided many good suggestions based on my comments, questions and feedback.
When we met her in Namibia, she was equally thorough and gave us all the information we needed. There was a lot of useful details, such as a highlighted map, a local charged cell phone and insurance info.
All the places she recommended were excellent.
We had a stress free holiday with all the adventure we were looking for but without any bad surprise.
I would use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them

Unforgettable safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We have just returned from Tanzania, where we spent 4 weeks and definitely the safari organized for us by Lights on Africa Destinations was a highlight experience of this trip.
Before we arrived in Arusha we arranged everything online and naturally we had millions of questions, asked about every detail and we received all the answers we asked for! Everything was organized for us, including the accommodation in Arusha, where Antonio, our guide, was waiting for us at the bus station. The safari itself was a wonderful and unforgettable experience! We were taken care of in a very friendly and professional way. Antonio, the guide, answered all our questions about the animals, was open to all our expectations and listened to our every need. Benson, the Stomach Engineer :), was a great cook, we loved the food he prepared for us.
All in all, I strongly recommend Lights on Africa Destinations company, they are truly professional and very friendly, and the safari was worth every penny we paid.

South Africa/Tanzania trip July 2015
The reservation was with Great Safaris and was the easiest, most complete, best value safari we have ever has
with an Africa Tour Company. We have been sending people to Africa for more than twenty years, and this was the smoothest reservation with the absolute best documents from any tour operator.
Will definitely use Great Safari's again, and recommend them to all of our interested clients.

Much more then ever expected
I was more then a little hesitant to send money to Africa for a private safari until I spoke with Shaun Taylor, owner and guide extrodinaire ! I went on what I saw in the reviews and they are SO RIGHT ON. Shaun provides a service that goes over and beyond a safari guide. He answered all my crazy questions and his sense of humor is wicked ... which went along great with our group. This was to be a bucket list trip and it was much more then that. The serene accommodations, the five star chef (Lindsay is a culinary genius) and Shaun's amazing guiding skills make this trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the "bush", the animal calls, their behaviors, and his tracking skills made the trip so much fun. Shaun is the "google" of the bush ... you have question, he has the answer. You arrive as a guest and you leave as a friend and family member. I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back "home" to South Africa.

A very well organised trip and knowledgable guide!
We went on an overnight safari in July which included 2 game drives and a boat trip. The whole trip was very well organised and Carlos was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide!
