Amazing experience!
I did a 6 day safari with Simon, he has been an excellent driver and he is also an amazing spotter for animals. He let me take all my time to take all the pictures I wanted, and I could learned a lot with him and having an amazing experience. I Can only recommend this tour operator !

Amazing Trip at Short Notice
After Namibia was removed from the high risk country list the German health department maintains for COVID-19, I was keen on visiting the Deadvlei and Etosha. I had a look at Tripadvisor, Wild Wing Safaris had an impeccable track record. So I reached out to them, and Philip provided at very short notice a memorable trip across the country.
Even if the distances are huge (2500km in 8 days), it was still fun given the vast amount of anecdotes he was able to tell. He also had a keen eye for spotting even the tiniest shawows of an animal. He also put me in great positions for some excellent shots (sunrise at Dune 45 comes to mind).
I'll probably visit Nambia again - this time it was Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Etosha. I'm still eager to see the NP in the Caprivi Strip, possibly in combination with Botswana/Zimbabwe. I'll definitely reach out to Philip again to get his advice.

We had a wonderful and memorable 8-day safari in Zimbabwe thanks to Liberty.
The trip was well planned and organized. Each day, Liberty would make sure that everything was perfect with the rooms, the meals or the activities. He takes care of all the details so that I could just relax and enjoy the trip. We had an awesome trip visiting Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park, Matopo Hills and Great Zimbabwe. My boys had plenty of room in his vehicle to be able to sleep when moving from one venue to another. I have already recommended Cocoon Safari to my colleagues.

Fantastic 8 day Lemosho and 2 day Safari
We started with an 8 day Lemosho Kili Trek. Starting from the first contact with David (Manger), the booking, the Pick-up and so on everything worked out very organized and professional. As we had still sone open balance to pay, David picked us up from the hotel and drove us to different ATMs, taking care about everything himself.
The trek itself was an unforgettable experience. Prices are very reasonable and can be adjusted depending on your comfort needs. Our guides Mango and Hatib were fantastic and contributed a lot to this unforgettable experience. I would 100% recommend them. Furthermore Godein was the best summit porter that I can imagine. Having this team you will for sure made it to the summit.
After the trek we continued with a day day Safari to Tanguire and Ngorongoro Crater. Especially the Crater is such a special place which we enjoyed a lot. We chose the budget option and slept on s campsite outside the park. Turned out that the budget option isn‘t that basic and gave as all the rest we needed to fully enjoy the second safari day. Our driver/guide Simon definitely went the extra mile to show us all that is possible during the two days. You really felt the passion for his job and for giving the clients the best service. The vehicle was super comfortable as was the driving.
We can 100% recommend Kili sllpe for whatever activity you plan. You can be sure to get the best service for a reasonable price. All activities have been realised by Kili slopes themselves. So you wont be transferred to any other tour operator that you do not inow before. Definitely a big advantage.
Thank you for everything! Tina&Boris

Rwanda - GO NOW!
In early September I decided to book a trip to Rwanda and by mid-October I was staring at Muhoza the Silverback. I could not have pulled off such a successful trip without Safari 2 Gorilla Tours and Aron. S2G’s planning, communication, and execution of schedule was key to a solo traveler such as me, particularly during these challenging covid times. Because no one is getting back out there yet, I essentially had private tours for a totally reasonable cost. Aron customized two tours for me, and I went on both of them (starting and returning to Kigali, I was in Rwanda the whole time). Tour one was a five-day, two-park primate adventure, with Danny as my trusted driver/tour guide/translator/and all-around great company! Much joy was driving between the parks, seeing all of Rwanda and her busy, productive people and learning about the local culture from Danny. Tour two was a three-day Akagera NP safari, with a full day of game drive and a morning boat tour of Lake Ihema. Danny was again my driver/compadre for the Akagera tour. He drove the 8 hour park loop as our ranger and I spotted all of the safari animals – again, private tours right now! The hotels they selected along the way were very nice (especially the Ingagi Park View Lodge), and the schedule allowed for downtime between the activities. This was a totally unique adventure during a just a weird, strange time. But Rwanda has this covid issue under control better than any other country right now. If you want the feeling of being the “only one there”, right now is the time to go, Rwanda is the place to go, and Safari 2 Gorillas is the outfit to call!
Terrific Two Week Safari from Arusha to Serengeti National Park
We just finished a two-week safari in Tanzania using Gosheni Travel. While planning the trip we looked for a local tour company and, after talking with several, found that Peter (owner/manager) of Gosheni Safaris was very responsive to what we were looking for. Our guide, George, was terrific! Ash for him!! He is from the area and spoke English well. He was very experienced, kind, and listened carefully to what we wanted when there were small changes to make along the way. I am amazed at the amount of information George had for us during the trip. We asked so many questions and he had a wealth of knowledge about the animals, local community and history of Tanzania. Our time with the Massai villagers, the Hadza tribe bushmen (a tour highlight), Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro National Park and the Serengeti National Park is unforgettable and one of the most interesting trips we’ve taken. The good places we stayed at were Mount Meru Hotel, The Massai Village, The Ngorongo Farm House, and the Acacia Lodge in Serengeti. Great food, kind people and close to the animals. Avoid Ngorongoro Castle, and although the Acacia Tarangire was very nice, it was way too far into the park on a very bad road, and there must be better alternatives.

Mattaw Safaris gave us the BEST safari experience and exceeded our expectations.
Our safari with Mattaw Safaris was a wonderful trip. We have been to Masai Mara before but this was our best trip by far. It was so easy to communicate with the company from the very beginning and they were careful to listen to our special needs/requests to provide exactly what we needed. From the excellent accommodation they arranged for us to the amazing driver and local guide who were so personable and flexible, we had an amazing time. The driver and local guide truly cared about our comfort and helping us see everything we wanted to see. We traveled with our 3 year-old and everyone was so accommodating and patient with us considering the extra challenges that traveling with a toddler brought. Going with a local guide was extremely helpful, as they were very familiar with the area and were able to find all of the animals we hoped to see. The vehicle was very comfortable and spacious for our family. Mattaw Safaris also knows the best places to stay - we loved the hotel they arranged for us! We will always have these wonderful memories and we are so thankful for Mattaw Safaris for arranging every single detail and being flexible and providing above and beyond service every step of the way.

a fantastic experience with special moments
Communication went very well, Richard speaks good English and tries his best to explain what he means when we didn't understand him.
Service was very good. The Jeep was Always clean, new water for the long days driving en Richard knew the nice spots, the roads and the places to stay overnight. Richard drove safely, I never felt unsafe for a moment, he showed us more than just the animals. We were everywhere on time.
It lived up to our expectation. We have seen the big 5, lots of animals en flora/founa. We asked a lot about life in Tanzania and Richard told us about it extensively. This adds extra dementia to the trip. It was more than just driving in a Jeep to see the big 5.Dealing with the locals to show us how they live and to make us feel comfortable with them.
I would definitely advise my family and friends to ask Richard for a safari holliday.
