Fantastic active safari through Mana Pools National Park
Communication leading up to the trip was excellent - Kelly assisted with ground transfers. Our driver Abel facilitated border formalities so they didn't take long. Mark and Manu, our guides, were knowledgeable and extremely good at finding wildlife. We felt safe at all times in their capable hands and their enthusiasm was infectious. The camp crew couldn't do enough for us; the food they cooked was delicious and vegetarians well catered for. Tents were spacious and comfortable, whilst the daily program was tailored so no one ever got bored. And how could you be bored?! We dodged hippos in our canoes, checked out ancient baobabs and dinosaur fossils, tracked (and found) leopard and lion, got close to wild dogs. No two days were the same. We will definitely recommend Natureways to all of our friends and we will be back!

Great experience
With the exception of some challenges with the Capetown guide on the last day of our visit to the city, every portion of our booking experience and the two week tour in South Africa exceeded our expectations.

Levis, our contact was receptive, courteous and informative regarding our request. We felt confident
We booked a one day Birding Specific professionally guided tour, through Nairobi National Park prior to our 10 day safari. Levis interpreted our needs and wants and came up with a great plan including a land rover for optimum photography. We needed to alter our plan slightly and that was not a problem. We felt very confident. Patrick our guide was very knowledgeable about bird identification, migration, behaviour etc. He was so willing to move the land rover for the best photos etc. and it was evident that he wanted us to have the best birding experience possible. Patrick had all kinds of birding data he was willing to share with us but unfortunately his voice did not carry beyond the front seats, so those further back missed out on a lot of information. Our day was extremely full and Patrick kept trying to find us more birds. We ended up with an unofficial number of 63 birds but possibly 73 once photo ID's are made. That is a pretty fantastic day of birding. Also, we were able to sight and watch African mammals at leisure. Aslo, thank you to Patrick who knew that we wanted to see the elephant tusk sights and made that possible with photo ops available. All in all it was a great day provided by Hallmark Planning.
The box lunch was really tasty and very fulfilling cudos to the catering company. Thank you one and all for making our day so special!

Excellent service from Go Touch Down Tours
We went to a presentation given by Go Touch Down Tours on traveling to South Africa. This covered Tours in Cape Town and Johannesburg, including daily safaris.
On our way I told my wife I wasn’t so sure about a trip to Africa.
The presentation was so inspiring that half way though I leaned to my wife and said we should go.
We decided to take advantage of their offers and we booked both Cape Town and Johannesburg.
I can honestly say that the presentation was great but everyone, from the office to the guides, went way beyond to make this the most enjoyable and memorable experience anyone could have.
5 stars all the way!
We are still in contact with our guides, ( now very good friends) and some of the people we were on tour with.

Unforgettable safari, Asante!
We strongly recommend to go through "Travel Africa Safari Agency" to organize your safaris in Tanzania!
We had taken a bit at the last minute to plan our trip but Mohamed & Carlson made everything easy for Safari 2 days at Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater, coming back to us very quickly for all our previous questions and concerns the trip.
All the staff at the agency were extremely helpful and unfailingly professional, from the pickup when we arrived at Arusha airport until the end.
Edward, our guide on safari, was also very professional and showed a lot of patience by giving us plenty of time to enjoy the moments when we met animals / birds / giant Baobab ... Edward did not spare of efforts to help us spot the Big 5 of Africa!
Thank you Mohamed & Carlson, we will not hesitate to contact you again for our next trips to Tanzania.

5d/4n Safari and 1 day Kilimanjaro trip
I booked a package which included a day trip to Mt Kilimanjaro and a 5d/4n Safari.
The Kilimanjaro day trip was amazing! A perfect mix of nature (waterfall hike) and cultural experience! The coffee making experience was really fun!
The safari included the Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Parks. At no point during the trip did I feel that we’d be in a rush or missing out on something. The safari was in a relaxed atmosphere, very well organized and the guide was really knowledgable! Our cook was a magician and prepared the most amazing meals! Overall it was a great experience and therefore I absolutely recommend Afrozone Kingdom Safaris. They’re well organized, they look after the wishes of their customers and Adam, the manager, is always reachable and has an open mind for any requests, suggestions,...
They mix wilderness adventure with cultural experience and try to show their customers an authentic Tanzania!

Unforgettable 6 daya in Africa
Most of all I want say "Thank you" to Sylvester and his team for the great organization, hospitality and excellent guidance. We experience 6 unforgettable days in 3 National Parks in Kenya organized by Seven by far and we had absolutely nothing to think or worry about, just enjoy. The communication before and during the travel was excellent. Our Guides were very knowable and respectful to the nature and the animals. I strongly recommend booking with Seven by far.

Excellent customer care!
I booked a two days safari (Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The trip was amazing, our guide an excellent driver with a great knowledge of the animals, the overnight stay in a lodge with nice view of lake Manyara perfectly organised. As I was intending to continue my travels on the following day, Idrissah took care of me personally: he picked me up after the safari, brought me to a hotel that he had booked for me and even drove me to the bus station on the next day in the early morning to make sure I was safe and on the right bus. I felt treated like a friend and not a customer! Idrissah has a lot of experience in organising tours and a great passion for his job - I highly recommend travelling with his company!

Trip of a Lifetime
We booked Tazama Africa Holidays after I read the wonderful reviews. I'm so glad we did. Antony was our guide and really made the whole trip everything we dreamed about. His communication during the planning process was excellent and very timely, so that gave me a sense of relief. He picked us up right on time at our hotel, and we headed out to the Maasai Mara. Please note that the roads are not all paved so it can be a bumpy ride. As we arrived, everyone greeted him and he knew so many people and other guides. This is highly important because guides share information with each other on sightings. You want someone who knows where the animals tend to be and has a great relationship with other guides so that they share info on special sightings. We told him that we were especially interested in the big cats, and he went out of his way to make sure that we got to see them and got great photos. My camera battery died in the middle of a drive and fortunately, he had the same brand and lent me his. Antony shared information about Kenya and the Maasai Mara and was interested in learning about the USA as well. He is a very kind, caring soul and was fully invested in making sure we got what we wanted out of this trip. We saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, elephants, zebras, water buffalos, hippos, and so much more. On the way back home and before our flight, he took us to the restaurant Carnivore which was absolutely delicious. Antony is a gentlemen through and through and you can't go wrong booking this tour company.
