Absolutely amazing....the experience and Safari Partners arrangements!
All the arrangements made by Safari Partners went off like clockwork. There wasn't one glitch. The people that supported us along the tour route were great. They were waiting for us on schedule and guided us extremely well through Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. Then the people in S. Africa were there when arranged and provided all the services planned. The two tours in Cape Town were excellent. They hit the spot.
On the safaris we saw everything we had expected and possibly a little more. All the accommodations were great. They exceeded our expectations and the staff at every location were excellent, they just couldn't do enough. They even cleaned our hiking boots after trekking to see the gorillas.
Thanks so much to the staff at Safari Partners and please pass along our appreciation to all the people that supported us during the trip.

Superb safari, well planned and delivered. Extremely satisfied customers.
I thoroughly and unhesitatingly recommend Makasa. Selma listened to what we wanted, made some very good suggestions and tailored our trip to meet our needs. And then made changes in dates we wanted for us too. Communications were excellent - rapid replies to emails and even skype!. the service was faultless - everything worked perfectly. We had a variety of accommodation - tented lodge, mobile camp and hotels - all very differnt but all very good. it added to the charm and variety. Francis, our guide, was excellent. 'Eagle eyed' and brilliant at both spotting birds and wildlife - we are interested in birds as well as animals. He is extremely knowledgeable and informative, and has a good sense of humour. And he always got us a front row view of the everything. The highlight had to be our private viewing of the lions mating 10 meters from our car!!!!!
We thought this was probably the best holiday we have had. I cannot praise Selma, Francis and the staff at Makasa enough. I'm glad we chose them based on others reviews. (We did get quotes from 3 others too but they didn't come anywhere near Makasa in terms of personalisation or listening to what we asked for.) We've asked Selma for tips for a southern route safari - i wouldn't bother with anyone else after this experience. So in short, excellent people to deal and travel with, superb safari, good value for money. heartily recommended.

Simply the best for your Tanzania experience!
Lucky me, I visited Tanzania for the 4th time and of course with Flash Safaris. Flash Safaris is a trustworthy and professional agent in a country that´s more than just an experience to visit.
Flash organizes everything perfectly and personally: your wishes are Flash´s comment. letting them know what I expected and they respond quickly and adequatly.The staff I met, the guide(s) I travelled with, the lodges and camps I stayed in..... everybody is qualified, very hospitable and most friendly. The equipment I travelled with are of good and safe quality. The places I visited were the best!!!
Booking a trip like that usuallly is a once in a lifetime experience, but onze the African virus gets to you... you want to visit Tanzania again!! Flash made it happen for me, so can do it for you no doubt!

Better then I could have hoped for
I had planned to go to Africa for years. I saved up, researched everything I wanted to do, and convinced a friend to go with me. When I started to try and do the actual planning I emailed about 15 different companies to ask questions. With Go2Africa, right from my first inquiry, I was continually responded to within 24 hours by Ramona. Go2Africa was the only company that would set up a trip to my exact wants. They did not require me to follow a plan that they already had set out. It was, to me, as if Ramona's only job was to make everything that I wanted to do possible! I appreciated having her feedback and opinions while trying to sort out our trip. As we settled on our safari plans, we asked Ramona some questions about one of our other destinations in Africa, and she was able to help us make arrangements for our non-safari time as well. Before departing, Ramona sent us our detailed itinerary with all of our vouchers for our activities. I don't think it would be possible to say that things could have run any smoother then they did. All of our activities, accommodations, transfers were all organized. We were able to do everything, and see everything that we hoped to see. The places we stayed were well beyond what we hoped. The food was amazing, and the entire time seemed like a fairy tale. We got into the habit of "high-fiving" in Ramona's name after each activity or upon arrival at each new location. Both my friend and I have traveled extensively, and we both agreed that never have we had such a flawless vacation. In one of our stops in Botswana, we met a woman from Germany, who had also used Go2Africa for her trip. We spent a meal comparing our experiences with different operators for the same company, and agreed that we had the same service. Our trips were completely different, intersecting at only this one camp in the Okavanga Delta, but our appreciation for Go2Africa was the same. If you are planning a trip of a life time to Africa, I would recommend Go2Africa, and Ramona in a heartbeat.

Excellent tour in Ngorongoro Crater
Did a day tour in Ngorongoro Crater with my girlfriend. Tour started in Arusha at 9am and we were back by 5pm. We spent most of the day inside the crater and it is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life. It Started in Africa guide (Raphael) was perfect for us and always smiling and informative. Car was great and very well maintained and the lunch box was delicious. Plan to go back for a longer tour.
It was a beautiful experience with lots of friendly people and great service. I am happy I booked wi
Straight from the beginning we were communicating well from the site and email, upon my arrival we were treated with smiling faces and I remember Mr. Richard greeting us with a smile and ushering us to the tour van. I enjoyed the tour and got to see the Kibale chimps. It was fantastic

A beautiful trip in Uganda with Matoke tours
My wife and i had a perfect trip with Matoke Tours in Uganda. We have been in different country's in Africa before but we were very surprised about Uganda. Our guide and driver Frank is very proud of his country and showed us all the beautiful wildlife and perfect accommodations. He brought us in contact with the local people.
The trips to the chimps and the gorilla's were unforgettable.
We will be back in Uganda (with Matoke Tours and Frank)

Fantastic
Thank's for all your help during our stay in Kenya, you were so thoughtful, nice and dedicated. We felt so welcome and the safari was just wonderful. Excellent jeeps, sovereign drivers, thrilling accommodations and yummy food. We'll come back, just be sure about that. Bye from Hugo and Marina from Perth Western Australia.
