Zohar went above and beyond in every way to provide a fantastic safari experience for our honeymoon
After reviewing several options in 2020 we chose Zohar as the tour operator for our honeymoon. Because of the pandemic we could not go, but the director Lilian promised us that we could save the deposit and use it next year. So in 2021 we could finally complete our trip. Our safari experience was fantastic in every way. Lilian was extremely responsive and we excheanged above 50 emails answering our every question and tailoring the safari to our wishes before we landed in Tanzania. I had some medical problems (unrelated to the safari) after the safari ended and we went to Zanzibar, and Lilian kept in touch and used her contact to try and set me up with a doctor. She had no obligation to do so, of course, as the safari had ended, but I think it shows the kind of support you get when you book with Zohar.
Our guide, Tom, was fantastic. He was very experienced and knowledgeable and was always making sure that we got what we wanted and made changes everyday in our itinerary to accomodate our wishes. One of the highlights everyday was our picnic lunch and sometimes breakfast out in the national parks - having lunch while watching elephants and giraffes slowly walk by in the distance is an experience that is hard to beat. We had a five day safari and saw all The Big Five, and I think Tom was as happy as us when we finally saw the last missing piece of the puzzle, namely a rhino. Because of his skill as guide we often ended up closest to the animals, even though there were other vans near the animals when we arrived.
All in all our safari with Zohar was a fantastic experience and I'd recommend them to anyone. In the YouTube link below you can see a video of some of our sightings during our safari that we recorded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qKhau5FfFI

Incredible 3 weeks roadtrip in Uganda
We had a great once in a lifetime experience with Pamoja Safaris 3 weeks in Uganda. Charles is the best tourguide one can imagine. He showed us not only the touristic highlights of his beautiful country, but allowed us also a view behind the curtain. We visited autentic small villages and restaurants, nobody would find without his deep knowledge of the area. Charles knows a lot and taught us about the flora and fauna of africa. Although everything was perfectly organized and prepared it was never a problem to change plans due to our upcoming ideas. Thank your so much Charles for your kind and pleasant guidance.

Really great adventure with Kihindo Tours and Safaris!
I had three beautiful days in Selous National park thanks to Isaya! The three days are worth the price that is really affordable for people on a budget; the driving in the proper safari car was really good; Isaya comes to pick you at your hotel and drops you wherever you need to be on the return; the communication with Isaya was really smooth, quick and easy! The safari lodge was really comfortable, nice and calm surrounded by nature; you have both types of “rooms”: big nice safaris tents or big nice rooms both with really nice bathroom; the food was excellent such as the service, everyone is really friendly and at your disposal for anything! In regards of the activities, you will have a nice tour boat on the afternoon of your arrival to observe hippos, crocos, birds and other animals ending up with nice sunset on a sandbank if weather is good; then second day, the day safari is really well driven from early morning to end of the day as Isaya tries to get you to the all animals (and they are there no worries!) as much as he can by going in any corner of the park, he knows the park like is pocket; the park is beautiful with a lot of different landscapes and huge fauna! And on your last day you will experience a nice morning walk in the bush with some medicinal explanations on plants, trees, insects, beliefs and you might be lucky as me and meet some elephants again! Very good value safari! I had a really good time all over the trip! Isaya is really friendly, helpful and makes everything for you to feel you relax, comfortable and good! For sure you will have a great time!

Awesome family trip safari+lake house
Danson was a great guide! We were a group of 5. My dad was quite impressed the moment he was picked up from the airport by this beautiful safari car! It was very comfortable ride and we shortly arrived at the lake house we rented by lake Naivasha. Danson was really communicative and arranged us great accommodations in Masaai Mara. I had been to the park for a few times and I have to admit that riding a great vehicle really made a significant difference. Danson was trying his best to make the trip to its fullest. We were able to see everything besides the rhino. We enjoyed being the first ones who spotted the cheetah and lions and we were able to use radio and share the news to others. I would like to passionately recommend this service to everyone who's visiting Kenya.

We had a great safari in Tanzania with geoDiscovery
We took a three day - two night safari of Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park with geoDiscovery in October 2021 and it was great. Well planned out and good communication. They arranged the guide (Dominique), he was great and made all overnight arrangements. We changed plans a couple days before arriving and they (geoDiscovery) were very accommodating We had no problems at all, loved the experience we had.

No professionalism
The points given are only for the itinerary. I thoroughly enjoyed the activities planned and the company of fellow travellers who organised themselves and kept themselves in high spirits throughout the trip. The management team lacked the basics of professionalism organisation and customer care. Their ability to handle crisis situations was abysmal given how many obstacles we faced. No mention of complimentary anything or compensation for things going wrong. As a first time client, I was greatly disappointed. I would try them again in a few years when they are more focused and organised because I believe they have great potential.

The US team and the Tanzania team were equally wonderful!
Traveling during a worldwide pandemic is never easy. E-Trip Africa made sure we were able to get the appropriate COVID tests at the appropriate times. I never imagined it was possible to get COVID tested in the middle of the Serengeti so that I could make my flight on time! Ben in the US was always available to answer our pre-trip questions and made us feel at ease about traveling during uncertain times. Eliamini was our guide in Tanzania and he always managed to point out something that we would've never seen on our own. He was an amazing safari guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. We chose the mid-range accommodations and were very happy with them. The staff and service at all accommodations was great. I highly recommend E-Trip Africa and I will definitely use them again myself.

Incredible guide, magical experience
We were recommended Wickliffe as a guide by a friend and couldn't be happier with the experience! When we first contacted him we didn't really know where we wanted to go or what we wanted to see, but Wickliffe had some helpful suggestions and put together a great itinerary for us. Our 3 days in the Masai Mara were unforgettable, and this was largely down to Wickliffe's friendly personality and endless knowledge of the animals, birds and general ecosystem of the Mara. His approach was very authentic and his care and respect for the animals really shines through.
We would 100% recommend Game Whisperers Adventures for anyone looking to do a safari in Kenya!

Awesome Experience
From the first contact the services provided by Lappet Faced Safaris were of top level. More, the safari was exactly tailored for our specific interests and the atmosphere was very friendly, caring and attentive. Wonderful lodges, a good and trustable 4WD car and a very capable and informed driver. All together, a very particular and rewarding experience!, Thanks Francisco for the tailor made tour of our lifetime and wonderful team
