not a single remark, absolutely perfect!
We just returned from a one week private safari through Northern Tanzania. We had our doubts at first about booking directly in Tanzania bit it was the best choice ever to do so. Communication with Fransisca (owner) is very fast and clear and all our wishes were included in the program. Also her suggestions for lodges and hotels were all very well. Our guide (Edson) has joined us from pickup at the airport untill drop-off. He has an amazing sight to spot wild from a distance that was even hard for us with binoculars. Next to that he makes sure that everything is arranged in terms of checking in into the lodges, lunches etc. Our overall experience exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend Nature Responsible Safari Company to everybody!

First rate service
Susan at Pembury Tours did a great job of putting together a 5 day safari for our family group to Jaci's Safari Lodge at Madikwe. She was always quick to respond to any queries during the planning process, and dealt efficiently with some minor changes to our travel schedules. The trip itself was most enjoyable and the choice of itinerary, accommodation etc was never anything less than the level we had expected. All round, a very positive experience and we would happily recommend Pembury Tours to anyone visiting South Africa.

Trip of a lifetime
My husband and I had a wonderful 10 day Safari with Shadows of Africa. The customer service during the planning stages was excellent. Flavia took time to customize the perfect trip for us at a reasonable price. Our guide, Bashir, was very knowledgeable and showed us a wonderful time in the parks of northern Tanzania. Every day we saw something that amazed us! The jeep was comfortable. The accommodations every night were wonderful. We particularly loved the Serengeti Kati kati camps. We will cherish these memories forever! Thanks to the Shadows team!

Undoubtably the best tour operator in Kenya
Right from the first introductory meeting on January 1st (a holiday in most parts of the world), George Oketch, the Director of Right Choice, chose to take the time and arrange a more formal meeting at his office in Central Nairobi. Given the cautionary notes from Lonely Planet, Rough Guide and Eyewitness Travel on selecting a tour operator (for my girlfriend and myself on holiday), we immediately had a comfort factor when we met George. His direct and candid approach in organizing the trip to Nakuru, Naivasha and Mara at the top luxury properties and within our budgets was truly appreciated and unmatched. Our driver/guide, Jacktone, in a superb safari vehicle provided us with an amazing week between 4 National Parks. Jacktone went the extra mile at the game reserves to ensure that we saw enough wildlife to say 'STOP! Now can we just see the birds and enjoy the landscape'. And he made sure that we got on the flight 25 minutes before departure!! Thank you, Right Choice. We will be back and hope everyone can use your services.

Exceptional Company that tailors to your needs!
Thanks to Charles and team for making this a trip of a lifetime. Tanganyika Ancient Routes provided the help and information we needed from beginning to end, i.e. immunizations needs, visa applications, booking of flights, packing recommendations, local customs etc.
The tour was well organized with a comfortable mix of hotels and luxury tent accommodations. The food was exceptional. All our needs were met and we were made to feel safe throughout the trip. Besides being very knowledgeable about the animals, people, and surroundings, our guides/drivers were highly skilled: they were able to spot animals miles and miles away, sometimes without binoculars. We could not have asked for a better crew.
I initially thought we would get tired of seeing the same animals day after day but that was not the case. We visited several different parks (Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Ngorongo, Serengeti, Saadani) all with their own unique sightings. The tour was organized in a way that allowed us just enough time to enjoy each park without getting monotonous.
I would definitely recommend Tanganyika Ancient Routes to anyone who is looking for the trip of a lifetime.

Excellent planning and wonderful guide
My husband and I had a terrific experience using Shadows of Africa for our recent safari. Jake, Stacy, and Natasa did a great job putting a lot of effort into creating a safari tailored to us. They were very knowledgeable about hotels, tent camps, plane schedules, etc., and they took care to make sure that we felt safe everywhere we went and that our entire trip ran smoothly.
Our guide, Edwin, was extremely knowledgeable and easy going. We appreciated his attentiveness and easy ability to adapt the plan to how we were feeling each day.
Would highly recommend!

We just returned from a wonderful 2 week trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe/Zambia.
Safari Online planned the major portion of our trip for us. Walter Kohrs is great person to work with! Safari Online is based in Cape Town, and Walter obviously knows the safari and southern Africa tourism business well. He listened to what we wanted, came up with great suggestions, and was very willing to modify plans when requested. He responded promptly to all emails, answered every question, and was very straightforward about the financials.. The trip more than met our expectations. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to southern Africa, I would contact Safari Online without question. We highly recommend this company.

Wonderland Tours was wonderful
I just wanted to make sure that everybody knows that Wonderland Tours was wonderful. My wife, our 10 year old son and I just came from a 6 days safari in Tanzania; the trip was a one in a life time vacation.
Everything was perfect with Wonderland Tours
My wife and I did the 10 days trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar for our honeymoon. We spoke to 10 difference safari companies that did tours in Tanzania, but when we came across Wonderland Tours, we were immediately interested with their quick replies and reasonable price, so we finally decided to book through them Once we booked, we felt very confident that everything was going to perfect on our trip. We were absolutely right! Everything about the trip was absolutely incredible -- it exceeded all of our expectations. Everything was perfect: the hotels/lodges/tents were beyond our wildest dreams, the parks were magnificent.
