Responsive. Very well organized. Professionnal drivers.
We did a 8 days/ 7 nights safari in Kenya and Tanzania . Everything went smoothly in spite of the two border crossing and the long roads. The guides/drivers were very professionnal and my daughter and I had a very nice time. We are always a bit frustrated because we would have liked to see more action (a cat kill for instance !!!) but we cannot predict nature and so maybe that the reason we would like to come back !!

Memorable 8 days 7 nights Kenya Adventure
Memorable 8 days 7 nights Kenya Adventure
This was my first time to go to Kenya and alone. I just randomly searched online and booked the 8 days safari tour (Nairobi, Sweetwaters, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara & Lake Naivasha) in 5 months ago with Alfred, the tour operator. We contact via email and he is good in responding! Benson, also the tour operator welcome me at airport and he helped me to arrange everything. Even he was not on the way to the tour but he knew very well about my route and schedule every day. In the first four days of the tour, only Peter the tour guide (also driver) and me. On the fifth days onward, other people joined together to Maasai Mara. Peter is really funny, friendly and he is very professional about wildlife!! His driving skill is so good too… My camera has not really very long shot lens but we are always so close to the animals and always in good angle! (Even the animals were surrounded by a lot of safari cars!) Thanks Alfred, Benson and Peter!! They are definitely a great team! Thanks for taking care me a lot, let me gained lots of knowledge about Kenya and met good friends in the tour. Hope to see you guys one day again!

We found a company that was flexible enough to offer us just what we wanted in the time we had.
Amaan was an excellent guide and driver and the company provided all we asked for. Amaan was always on time and provided a safe and enjoyable journey. When we told him we had been told we would see meerkats in the wild and it didn't happen, he researched and found a location that had some under rehabilitation. Our accommodations were excellent - comfortable and really quite beautiful. We especially enjoyed our bungalow at the ranch and the two tours of the range they provided - viewing the animals was exciting. The tour was a good value and we recommend Cape of Good Hope Tours to all.

Just Awesome!!
We went to a 3 day Masai Maara Safari. Lennox is the person we communicated about the safari through email. He was prompt in replying to the queries we asked. Richard was the driver who was very casual to us and he made sure the group was comfortable through out the safari. He is highly skilled driver and we spotted the big 5 :) I would rate him more than excellent :) Thanks to Lennox and Richard

A Wonderful Experience… One that Tops the Charts!!
Words alone cannot describe the incredible experience my family and I had on our tour with Cape of Good Hope Tours. We started off our journey with Cape of Good Hope on a full day Cape Peninsular and Winelands tour. This was followed by a four day Garden Route tour from Cape Town – Port Elizabeth.
We were very fortunate to have been accompanied by Anthea for the first two full-day tours and Amman on our garden route tour. Both possessed qualities of a great tour guide. They had great personalities and were very informative and knowledgeable. They were very obliging and accommodating to our needs during the tour. Most importantly, they ensured our safety and comfort were their priority.
Despite having a set tour itinerary, both guides were very flexible throughout our trip. They made sure we saw and experienced all the beauty in South Africa. This included unexpected stops at a local beach to view Table Mountain; stops at quaint towns along our trip and restaurants offering the best of South African cuisine. We were also very fortunate on our last day in Port Elizabeth to be welcomed into Amman’s sister’s house for an unexpected lunch stop; an overwhelmingly kind gesture and insight into true South African hospitality.
Lastly, our tour could not have gone off with such immaculate precision if it was not for Cape of Good Hope tour. In this respect, I would like to sincerely thank Dorian. Planning for a holiday is hectic on its own and I was doing so in the midst of intense work and personal commitments. Thankfully, I was immediately put at ease from my first e-mail interaction with Dorian. She provided prompt guidance and response to any queries via e-mail and phone. I had no doubt over her warmth and sincerity in ensuring that we planned a wonderful holiday for my family. I communicated with Dorian closely prior to our trip and, with her support and guidance, an itinerary tailored to our needs and wishes was created.
We travelled in a comfortable car and stayed at very different accommodations along the way. Each place, very luxurious and comfortable, had their own unique character from a bush chalet within a Game Lodge to a family run homestead in Oudtshoorn, a very homely B&B in Knysna and finally, a wonderful Dutch style cottage in Tsitsikamma Village.
My family will return home with the best experience of their life; one that tops the charts! This was all made possible thanks to Cape of Good Hope Tour. A big thank you!!

Experience of a lifetime
Thanks to Mr. Otieno and his team, we came back from Kenya with the experience of a lifetime. We were a bit apprehensive about the tour, given the high crime rate as publicized regularly in social media and other online resources. But Kenya Walking Survivors made us feel at home on our first meeting. From the point they picked us up at the Nairobi Airport to the moment they dropped us at our hotel in Nairobi after 7 days, it was like a dream. Mr. Otieno and his team arranged the entire trip with flawless efficiency. The accommodations were clean and cozy, the food was continental and good, the vehicle was well maintained. We got to see “The Big-5” within one day in Masai Mara. We booked a group tour covering Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara & Lake Naivasha. But fortunately for us there were none else with us on that particular trip for that particular period. So it became like a private safari and we had a lot of fun.
I am especially thankful to Mr. Ibrahim, our Driver-Manager-Guide-Wildlife Expert bundled into one. Being with him was a wonderful experience. My 7 yr old daughter still talks about him. His patience and demeanor was exemplary. We shall always remember him.

It was breathtaking to see all the beauty of Tanzania
High five for Vacation2africa !
We highly recommend working with vacation2Africa. Our trip was flawless and amazing from start to finish. We had multiple stops and transfers that went off effortlessly, which led us to enjoy the experience even more without the hassle and worry about whether we'd make it to each place at the right time. Gerald was wonderful to work with, had in-depth knowledge, and was readily available whenever we needed him, both prior to and during the trip. We prefered to have road transfers from Dar es salaam to Arusha over plane because we wanted to enjoy the beauty and scenery of Tanzania. Accommodations were made on time before we got here. We had no problems whatsoever. All of the places we stayed were beyond fantastic, including an unforgettable stop at mto wa mbu that will be hard to top!!

Go With The Best
Nature’s Wonderland Safaris made the 10 days spent in Tanzania one of the best trips I have experienced. I wanted a birding and wildlife tour and Joseph Mwangi exceeded my expectations. The mammals in Tanzania were the prime objective but as a birder I also wanted to be able to ID birds we would see. We were overwhelmed by the wildlife that Joseph and Samuel, our driver, were able to find. The leopards and cheetahs that they found were the high points. Joseph excels in finding birds through hearing and picking them out in impossible spots. He was very helpful in not just IDing the birds but helping you focus in on the distinctive features to aid you in making the ID. The itinerary developed by Joseph was perfect and all the lodgings were extremely comfortable and had great food. Joseph has a very easy going personality with a wonderful sense of humor. He has a quiet competent sense about him that allows you to relax and take in all the wonder of Africa. Joseph’s ability to ID both birds and mammals made a huge difference in the quality of the trip. Tailoring a safaris to your needs is so important and Joseph can be trusted to deliver. I highly recommend Joseph and Nature’s Wonderland Safaris to anyone planning a birding or wildlife safaris to Tanzania or Kenya.
