A flawless SA safari with minimal paper and maximum satisfaction
Sheilagh - you are such an amazingly resourceful and easy to deal with person! I am still surprised with the way you had handled hundreds of my queries/suggestions/wishes pre tour and as well as during the time when we were in your rainbow country.
I am so glad that I had picked you as my SA travel advisor - everything was planned perfectly and executed even better, completely flawless.
And a special thanks for the surprise "treat" on my Birthday when you made our shared cape town tour a private one. Lovely lovely gesture Sheilagh.
Thanks Sheilagh for making our family holiday to SA a truly memorable one. I will be delighted to provide further information/details to any of your prospective clients. They just can't get wrong with you

Amazing 2 week mother daughter trip in South Africa
Sheilagh was very efficient with planning the trip and communicated with us frequently and clearly. She designed a fantastic itinerary which exceeded our expectations and made sure to check on us before, during and even after our trip. The safaris that were organised in Sun city were very fun and the guides were knowledgable. After the safari part of trip, we spent some time in Cape town and our guide (Cheryl) went out of her way to make sure we saw and did everything we wanted to! I highly recommend booking through Jamela africa safaris for a holiday to remember!

Fantastic private safari experience at a mid-range price!
This was our third trip to Africa and the entire safari experience with eTripAfrica was the best ever! The booking process was outstanding due to the detailed information provided and the ease of all communications. The itinerary designed by eTripAfica met our needs perfectly. The knowledge and care provided by our driver/guide was absolutely the best. The wildlife in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater far surpassed our expectations. The accommodations provided, even the tented camps, were perfect for us. The attention by the staff at all locations was excellent. Meals were surprisingly good. The box lunches provided allowed maximum game viewing which was a real plus. Yes, we saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, wildebeest, gazelles, etc. We hope to return and will certainly use eTripAfrica again if we are fortunate enough to do so!

They take care of you from the time you land in Kilamenjaro to when they wave goodby - Unbeliveable
From the first conversation with Baraka for the trip planning to the last animal sighting with our guide Abdul, Good Earth Tours made this trip, "The Trip of a Lifetime". The game drives, Bush camps, Lodges, cultural tours and knowledge of the animals and the land, nothing could have been better. Food was great, service in all of the camps was wonderful. I would recommend Good Earth Tours to anyone who is looking for a Safari experience that will be talked about for years to come.

Our safari adventure was a great memory maker for my husband and I.
I would recommend Safari Bookings to my friends. While booking our reservations Roberts kept us well informed and answered any questions we had promptly. Our driver John was prompt, friendly and courteous He gave his best to give us a great safari, which he did. The Sopa Lodge was a quiet, beautiful, out of the was place with staff who were ready to accommodate us with our every need. The safari was everything I hoped for. It was amazing being able to watch the wildebeests cross the Mara River, the big five and all the other animals roam the beautiful African country. The only animal we were unable to spot was a rhino, otherwise we were able to see all the wonderful animals which Africa has to amaze us with. Thanks for helping us to make lifetime memories.

Very amazing and unique experience !
I chose It Started In Africa among 20 agencies. Helder is super impressive to help us customize the trip. The Star Bed he recommended to us is super unique and cool experience! Thank you very much for the tour. We enjoyed it a lot! I've heard from friends who traveled with other agencies with many problems, like the cars were broken many times, or hotels were not as expected, and etc. But we didn't meet a single time of trouble during the tour. Our driver, Charles, is really awesome and has been extremely professional on driving, guiding and communicating, I learnt a lot from him! I definitely want to come to Kenya again and travel with It Started In Afica!

Great tour to Mikumi, Ruaha & Udzungwa
Our 8-days tour started in Dar es Salaam, we stayed 2 nights in Mikumi (Vamos Hotel), 4 nights Ruaha (Hilltop lodge and Msembe Headquarter) and 1 night Udzungwa (Udzungwa falls Lodge). Our guide Sam was great, he is a excellent driver and knows all the animals and the places where to find them (you could just point to a bird and he would know the name). The food was good, everything was well organized and reasonably priced. We were a group of 4, the size of the Safari vehicle was just nice. We can strongly recommend Nodven Safaris (f.k.a. Parota Safaris) (ask for Sam).

Please pass on our sincere thanks to our Guide and Friend Issa
I had planned this trip to Tanzania well over a year ago as a surprise
40 years of marriage celebration for my wife. A safari to Africa was
something we had always dreamed of since we were children but it was
not until recent years that it became financially achievable. It was
more than we could ever imagined and this was in no small part due to
the knowledge and determination of Issa. We can never thank you enough
for making this such a special trip and hope one day that we may pay
another visit but always there will be part of us in those stunning
national parks.
During the safari Issa became a good friend and whatever the trip
confronted us with we were confident that together we would overcome!
The only problem was that it made the goodbye at the Serengeti
Airfield one of the most difficult partings we have experienced. We
take that as a measure of your kindness and friendship and will always
treasure our time together.

Excellent every time
I’ve been in Uganda for about a year and have been on several trips with Yala Safaris during that time, to Murchiasan Falls, Jinja, Fort Portal, Sipi Falls, Virungha etc. They’ve made every trip such a great experience. The drivers are friendly and entertaining. The prices are always fair and they really make an effort to make everything as affordable as possible for us, since we’re on a tight budget. On several occasions Yala Safaris has managed to secure discounted accommodation or meals for us. Their transport is consistently punctual, in sturdy, comfortable safari vehicles. Even though we’re sometimes a large, noisy group, they’re also very easy-going and flexible. I will definitely keep travelling with Yala Safaris for future trips in Uganda! Thank you very much for the great service!
