excellent
I went to Mikuni National Park in December with a friend.
Our first time to safari. Three days and two nights with Usambara Expeditions.
Fabulous park where we saw many animals, our excellent accommodation in cottages and excellent our guide Afra. Prepared to our every question, explained everything about the animals and their living.
I was enchanted by the landscape and more than satisfied by Usambara with which I hope to organize another safari.
I advise everyone to contact Usambara Expeditions for safari and ask alex have Afra as a guide, you will not regret and don't forget .... magical!
Thank you very much Afra and Alex!

Great safari holiday in Botswana and Zimbabwe
The safari holiday was very well planned and organised, Ubuntu kept us informed all the way. The recommended camps were first class both in terms of accommodation and wildlife. in addition, Ubuntu met us in Johannesburg both at the start and end of our holiday to assist with transfer from the international to the local flights. This was our first safari holiday and they certainly gave us a great experience, we will book again through Ubuntu.

A big thank you.
We really enjoyed the tour, completely organised all the way though. Hotel staff, locals that we've met were very welcoming and helpful. A massive thank you and your driver guide for putting in extra effort to make it a memorable experience; playing cards, singing on the car and teaching us the local language (kiswahili); excellent experience.

We had a fantastic honeymoon in Zanzibar.
My wife and I planned our 5 days beach honeymoon to Zanzibar and we're so happy we found this travel company. They are professional and always happy to help every step of the way. Together we planned a fantastic trip and we had the trip of a lifetime! We can't wait to return to Zanzibar. I highly recommend this company to anyone.

Earthlife Expeditions is an All-Around Supurb Experience
I wanted to tell people about our experience with Earthlife Expeditions out of Arusha. We are on our last day of a 15-day trip with this company. I would recommend them highly! We, too, found them here on Safari Bookings and they seemed too good to believe. When we tried to check references, there were only a few notes on Trip Advisor. We emailed a previous customer and he replied that, Yes, they were indeed legit. So we wired money and crossed our fingers. (We did, however, Video Skype with Deo and Catherine Haule, the owners of Earthlife Expeditions, and saw that they were real people.). Deo offered to be our personal guide, he only guides safaris 2 times a year; he works in the office of his company the rest of the time. He has 10 Toyota Land Cruisers, in good running order. He employs many experienced safari guide/drivers. We were in the company of another couple at a tented camp in the Serengeti that was there with another Earthlife guide; they were happy as well. Deo is an outstanding safari guide, driver, and human being. Our accommodations were excellent, with a mixture of classy resorts and tented bush camps. He was always prompt, personable, and a wealth of knowledge about African animals from his 15 years of guiding experience. After our 8 fun-filled days of wildlife viewing in Lake Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti, & Ngorongoro Crater, we spent time at 4 tribal villages, including the Hadzbe and Maasais. Deo and Catherine booked our inter-country flight to Zanzibar, where we are spending the last 6 days.
I highly recommend this company. For the value and the experience of working with an honest, hard-working newer company. Feel free to contact me if you have further concerns or questions.
A Dream Come True
My husband and I often talked of taking a trip to Africa. We both love animals, and really wanted to see them in their own environment, doing whatever they would normally do. Before we could make our plans, my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He also had developed severe back issues. I put aside our dream, thinking I would never see Africa. Suddenly, a friend who had been to Africa many times invited me to go with her. I went, and Affable Tours was her experienced choice for guiding our tour. The trip surpassed my expectations. The accommodations were wonderful. The food was great. The wildlife was incredible. Our guides were a wealth of information, and seemed to know exactly where to take us so we saw things I never imagined I would see. I always felt safe, and also very lucky to have had the experience of traveling with Affable Tours and Safaris. I would recommend this company to anyone without hesitation.

Into the wild
From the inception of the tour in Sydney, the Ubuntu representative listened to our needs, made changes where necessary and offered suggestions that enhanced our experience. Our tour in Africa was well organized, the accommodation was even better than anticipated, we were met on arrivals on schedule and the Johannesburg representative went out of his way to assist one of our party who arrived with a health problem. The safaris more than lived up to expectations and the local guides were experienced and enthusiastic, going out of their way to track down elusive wildlife - the search was as exciting as the sightings themselves. I recommend Ubuntu Safaris and hope to join them on another safari in the near future.

Amazing Adventure!
I was not sure what to expect on my first trip to South Africa but I can definitely say it was fantastic thanks to Fun Time Tours! Barney's knowledge of the parks and animals, large, and small is incredible! He was accommodating to his guests in all aspects of the trip....wonderful lodge recommendations, delightful dining experiences, quality "retail therapy" time and patience with my endless questions and comments!! :) His experience as a ranger clearly shows through during his tours and his easy going manner, promptness and professionalism allows you to relax and enjoy the entire experience,
If you are planning a once in a lifetime South African adventure or a return trip to this beautiful country it would be well worth your while to book with Barney! He truly is the best!
