Professional and thorough
Safari was amazing. More than I expected. I had talked to two people who had been on a safari tour and they encouraged me to do it (I was on the fence because it is very expensive.) I am so glad we experienced a Safari at Hwange National Park. And the service at Bomani Tented Lodge was excellent.
Met at the airport and had door to door service for our five nights. Felt safe and comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed both safari and Victoria Falls.

An educational and inspirational experience that I will never forget.
I was so impressed by this tour company. The guides are National Rangers, who have a vast amount of knowledge in all areas of the tours. They are passionate, attentive, kind, friendly and punctual. I was never left bored or unsafe, they answered every single question I had with intensive knowledge. I was taken care of beyond their job description, and I absolutely fell in love with their passion. It was really fun and I felt like I was at home with this tour. So different to any other tour I've been on because they are so incredibly supportive and appreciative of what they do. Their hearts are massive, caring about the wildlife, history, etc. of South Africa. It was a honour to be on their tour, and I will definitely use them again. Clean, punctual, safe and secure!

First class service
Our guide, Tolbert, took great care of us on our 3-day Gorilla Tracking safari. The trip was unforgetable.

A world that feeds, deeds and bleeds for the true survivial of the fittest.
A world that feeds, deeds and bleeds for the true survivial of the fittest.
What a memorable trip.
We were lucky enough to see all the big 5, including hordes of birds, mammals and reptiles. Had a very close encounter with lions herd, watched 2 elephants in battle, witnessed elephant breaking down a tree, observed hippos lazing in the water, caught up both white & black rhino, saw countless impalas, kudus, wildebeests,
Guides were friendly and knowledgeable. I would have preferred if each car had their own radios and covered different tracks each day.
Booked camping accommodation which is a dome tent. Tent was neat but got really hot in the afternoon. The miniscule fan is just not adequate for afternoons and the tiny CFL does not adequately lighten up the tent after dark.
Bush braai on first night was terrific. A hyena visited us for dinner. Next day breakfast was at the cattle baron restaurant which was very god. All the other breakfasts & dinner were at Outlook's tables- which were very good and fresh.
Thumbs up to the overall experience.
Suggestion- All safari jeeps should be equipped with radios, each day should cover different track.

Wonderful Tanzanian Experiences!
My friend and I were doing safaris in February 2015. We had contacted several companies before choosing Altezza. And that was a right decision for 100% - with Altezza I did not even think about difficulties and organizational matters, only admired the local scenery and enjoyed the adventure during all our stay in Tanzania. Thank you guys for your hospitality and great memories!

Memorable safari
We were really fortunate in booking sunny safaris as our safari operator. we raised several questions regarding safari in serengatti forest and they were all addressed by Jessica without any hesitation.We really tortured her over mail regarding the itinerary and budget. But she was very cool and patiently explained and suggested ways to achieve our goals. Really she is an asset to the company. The company is charging only reasonable amount for the safari . They did provide good vehicles with experienced guides who helped a lot, particularly in locating the rare birds. Its a memorable trip.

Memorable trip in lifetime hosted by swahili paradise tours
Hi ,All
I'm Spanish guy who love to travel and share travel experiences with others , in June of last year i was travelling through East Africa from Kenya to Tanzania to explore the nature of wildlife , as solo male traveller in tight budget . My journey started in Kenya for 5 days which was based for 2 nights at Maasai Mara , 2 nights at Lake Nakuru and 1 night at Amboseli N.P , it wasn't cheaper at the beginning when i planned to do it alone , but after i read different on-line reviews i discover it's worth if i could share the costs with others . So i opened a deal to share my trip with others who loves to meet and join with new people on trip . from those reviews i found most of solos were talking about swap groups which operating in East Africa , so that i contacted some of agencies who could mingle me with swap groups , off-course each of them came with different quotations , but finally i took a deal from swahili paradise tours , because it was affordable to my budget i had . i joined a swap group from Kenya to Tanzania , where in Tanzania i was doing 4 days itinerary safari which started from Tarangire - Serengeti - ngorongoro . To be honest in each park which i was visiting had unique viewing , and the guides in each country were knowledgeable , tents were in good condition ,even sleeping bags and mattresses .
All in all i have to say this was the first one remarkable trip in my lifetime which i ever had before , so i love to go back to Tanzania and visit many places as much as it will be possible . Apart from this short review i have to say thank you every one who spent his/her time to help me to have this trip , and i am happy to recommend others to use this agency and swap groups when they are in East Africa .
Lo sentimos también para mi Inglés que no es mucho. De lo contrario, le deseo feliz viaje en África.

Very professional, responsive and responsible
We booked a 4 day safari (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and a 3 day Mt. Meru climb with the Safari Makers Ltd. All of our trip from the first contact a month prior to our trip to our departure was very professionally organized and communicated. Ezekiel Shayo did everything to include our preferences and wishes in the programme and communicated everything in a perfectly clear and accurate manner. The guides, drivers, cook all did a great job. We would specifically like to stress agency's readiness to solve any unexpected issues that might occur during our trip (when in Africa, expect the unexpected :-)). In a nutshell: highly recommended.

Thanks guys.

Fantastic Service and Awesome Itinerary
I was thrilled with the service that African Ubuntu Safaris provided to our tour group of 9. They really listened to what we wanted in our trip to Africa and came up with our perfect itinerary. Cuan, the agent we dealt with in Australia, had excellent communication skills and responded very quickly to both email and phone calls. Having offices both in Australia and Africa gave us peace of mind that we would be able to be in contact while we were in Africa if we needed it. He arranged 3 different styles of accommodation, house boat, hotel and "glamping", which really enhanced our travel experience. All the operators that African Ubuntu organized for us were very friendly, well informed and gave us so many opportunities to learn and enjoy the wildlife and local community. We will never forget our adventures in Africa, thanks to African Ubuntu Safaris.
