adventure of a lifetime
The communication from Tanzania explorer (Sondre in particular) was absolutely incredible. He was so prompt with his replys and always explained the details very clearly. We received a very detailed itinerary which I really appreciated and the staff were so polite and helpful. Our safari was brilliant we were collected at airport and didn't have to worry about anything from arrival to departure. Our safari driver Sam was one of the best in the park and found the lions without any problem

I had a very wonderful experience in Tanzania especially the Island of Zanzibar - very loving people
The communication was adequate and timely though some tour guides might need to improve their grasp of the English language. However the service was impeccable and met my expectation during the Easter Holiday which I enjoyed with my family on the beaches of Zanzibar

Great visual and social experience
Our three day safari in Kruger was one of the best experiences of our trip: we had a couple of very lucky sightings, including a lion roaming right next to the road and a number of hyenas trying to muster up a fight against a lion. We only saw 4 out of the big 5 but our guide that day hustled really hard to try and find us the last (leopard). The tour was well-organized and we felt well-taken care of. The bush meal on the first night and the tree house living on the second were two really nice touches. We also met a lot of people over our three days, all of whom were really fun and interesting; it was a pleasure crossing paths with them. My only complaint would be that the tour is billed as three days, even though you don't do anything except a short walk before returning home on the third day.

Bucket list break in the bush!
I am not a bush person.. but the 4 days we spent with @closequaters refreshed & recalibrate'd me like no other! I can't believe how much i enjoyed this short trip .. worth every penny! The 5star accommodation .. food and beautiful setting was good for my soul, and i am NOT a religious person! The game drives were incredibly informative, exciting and relaxing all at the same time!.. I'll be back!

Reliable, service-minded and capable.
Homeland safari did their absolute best to make our journey through the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro an unforgettable experience, especially thanks to Kilamia, our wonderful guide.
Reception, travel, accommodation and food; everything was good.
We experienced a wildlife we have not seen before, and had a skillful guide who could respond to everything we asked for. He discovered the animals long before we did, and we got to experience the "Big Five."
We are very satisfied, and we would certainly recommend Homeland to all our friends.

An unforgettable tailor-made safari
My boyfriend and I are regular travelers to the southern part of Africa and this time we booked a «tailor-made » trip with Jewel of Africa Safaris. Even if we had many experiences in taking safaris tours, this one was really special, as we were on our own with Kobus, a native south African, with a lot of humor and passionate about his amazing country !
First the advice in organizing our trip was perfect and we made probably the most of our ten days, there. The places, he chose for us were great, charming, always adapted to our request and needs and the food was yummy. When we first arrived, we stayed in a comfortable hotel close to Pretoria, before heading to Panzi Bush Camp, a nice, charming and simple place in the bush, closer to Kruger Park. From there, we visited the neighborhood (blyde river canyon…) and also had an elephant-back tour that was a lot of fun.
We then spent a few nights in the really beautiful camp of Skukuza, in one of the best rondavel close to the river side. During the day, Kobus took us to “extensive” safaris, looking for wildlife, as I never can get enough of it! We’ve been lucky to see a lot, amongst them lions, hyenas, rhinos, elephants, hippos, pythons, loads of various birds and of course, warthogs, impalas, giraffes, zebras… Kobus was always ready to tell us a good story or answer any question about culture, fauna or anything else! One evening we took a special “sunrise tour” during which we spotted a python eating an impala… Woaw, that was something.
At last we spent a few days in a private bushcamp of the Timbavati reserve, Umlani. A very beautiful eco-camp very comfortable and again with passionate people, which made it really interesting! Following Kobus advice we booked a night in the tree house. A hut in the trees overhanging a waterhole… This was truly unforgettable!
Therefore, and for a lot more reason I did not take time to write down here, we are highly recommending Jewel of Africa Safaris for your next holidays to South Africa! It worth the money spent…
I will choose Helina Safaris anytime any day for my travels anywhere in Kenya, excellent services!
From the warm reception to the fantastic and informative tour guides, I got myself another best friend in Helinas Safaris. They made my trip to the Maasai Mara feel so special by according tour guides who were funny, lively and very informative. Helinas literary took care of all my worries. It took so little effort from me to get so much joy from the trip thanks to the relentless efforts by Helinas Safaris. No words to describe you guys; like I promised, I'm bringing my crew for the Tsavo trip this May. Please be as kind. See you.
