excellent company - very good organisation
We climbed Kilimanjaro (Machame Route) with this agency. They took care of everything. Friendly people. The guides very kind and gave us a daily feedback and briefing. The food on the mountain was very good. After our climb we went on a 5 days/4 nights camping safari. Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris arranged a trip for us at Taranguire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara NP. Again we were very satisfied. Their guide knew very well where he had to go at what moment, so we saw all the wildlife (including rhino's). We had a wonderfull 2 weeks : in short : I would recommend this company to everybody.

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!
I would recommend this tour for absolutely anyone who wants a great African experience. Myself and a small group of friends did a safari through Uganda, Kenya and finishing in Tanzania a few months ago. The tour itself was amazing visiting parts of the world you never dreamed you would go and experiencing things you could only imagine like trekking the mountain gorillas in bwindi impenetrable forest or whitewater rafting in the Nile! Our tour guide James was excellent and could spot animals from anywhere!!! I saw more wildlife in those 25 days then I have seen in my life!! We went way beyond the big five and were even lucky enough hang out with Mountain Gorillas, chimps, hunting dogs, rhinos aswell as everything else! James was great company a pleasure to be around and even taught us some Swahili words aswell as an easy song!! Our cook Costa was incredible I always looked forward to eating his meals. Everyday was an adventure with something different we did plenty of game drives, boat tours, walks, bike tour, white water rafting, bungee jumping and a night game drive. The tours there are great they really are tailor made to suit you which means you get the exact experience that your looking for! Overall the trip an amazing experience!!! I will definitely return for another adventure and recommend to anyone thinking of experiencing Africa.

WONDERFUL AFRICAN SAFARI.
The Kruger Park photographic safari experience was absolute amazing. Dick Berry's knowledge and guidance on how to use your camera for the best wild life photos is unbelievable. His has lots of patience in guiding you to make sure your photos are top class. The Lodges were wonderful and the staff very friendly. His chef at the Lodge served the most amazing dishes. While on safari, we had opportunities to get real close to the animals and in some cases actually touch them. Wow! what a safari.

We have 6 days safari private with driver/guider from Tanzania Joy Tours Joseph. I could really recommend using its services, very professionally prepared to safari, good connection to other guides to find something interesting in Serengeti and other places, deep knowledge about animals, birds and african people. Everything was very good organized and in very nice atmosphere. Strongly recommended!
Excellent and friendly advice, flawless planning, stress-free experience.
Right from the first contact with Cuan, everything just fell into place so seamlessly that I ended up-and I say this without a skerrick of exaggeration- enjoying the trip of a lifetime! I stumbled across African Ubuntu Safaris on the net and was intrigued by the name; also the website was well laid out and easily navigable. Cuan was very helpful, patient, friendly and upfront with his advice and I found him very trustworthy.
The whole itinerary was well tailored to suit my budget and preferences; the package wasn't cheap by normal standards but I can unhesitatingly state that the experiences I had far exceeded my expectations-in fact the accommodation at the camps were more luxurious than I had anticipated!
The different camps around Botswana afforded me an exposure to different landscapes, wildlife and birdlife. I not only saw all the wild animals one normally associates with Africa namely Lion, Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Cheetah, Rhino, Hippo, African Wild Dogs, Giraffes, Springboks, Lechwes, Nile Crocodiles,-the list is endless- but I was also fortunate enough to spot rarer animals like the African wild cat (Chobe NP), the Honey Badger (Kwando Lagoon Camp) and a host of birdlife to delight even the most jaded of birdwatchers!!
The river cruises and the safari drives were well organised and there was no stress at any time, the guides and the trackers were trained, competent and professional which ensured that everyone stayed safe but had a great opportunity to spot a huge variety of wildlife up close including the more elusive animals.
I would book my next safari through African Ubuntu Safaris without any hesitation and I highly recommend them to anyone- be they individuals, couples, families or groups. The tours are certainly not cheap by conventional standards but definitely good value and for the comfort, safety, peace of mind and priceless wildlife encounters and experiences----definitely worth it!!

Marvelous Holidays at the Zambezi Sun
I did my booking for the Zambezi Sun hotel by Falcon Safaris, all my questions and expectations were answered with kindness. And thanks to this we had a marvelous stay at the Zambezi Sun hotel.
Thank you
One of the trips of a lifetime with heaps of animals, top class service and amazing experiences.
At every point during the organisation, planning and the trip itself, we found our experience excellent. The service and accommodations were great, with our more budget-conscious selections very adequate, whilst the more up-market accommodations we selected were top class. The guides (whose expertise you really depend on), the driving, boating and walking tours we did were fantastic - we saw "the big 5" within a just a couple of days, and kept seeing them, and so much more, for our entire trip to South Africa, Zambia and Botswana. We had great, (extremely) up-close and personal experiences with lions, hippos, leopards, buffalo, elephants, giraffes and rhinos as well as lots of other animals.
The scenery everywhere was spectacular and our trip to Victoria Falls for 3 days was fantastic (do the heli-flight and visit a local Zambian village, preferably for church on a Sunday).
It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we discovered that the company arranged for a very special, surprise, private, champagne dinner for two for our last night in paradise. Such personalized service!!
What a great continent, great people, great scenery and wildlife, all done and presented very, very well. We commend Wild Africa Travel Company to everyone who wants a special, trip of a lifetime!

The best Safari, only do this one
The safari was the best I have done in Kenya. The other two I did were not as good and much more expensive. Kennedy and John were the best people to arrange everything. Highly recommend!

Review about Ruaha National Park by Justin
This is probably my favourite park of all. The bush vibe is intense!! I absolutely love this park! We stayed in the old bandas and had to be careful at night after a very close call with a hippo passing just by us. There are no fences between the campsite and the savannah and we could hear the lions within a hundred metres of us at night roaring. Elephants passed right by at night. The game spotting was insane. We saw cheetahs, countless lions, and way too many other amazing sightings to list. This park is amazing.
