a fantastic week visiting local Beekeepers
All arrangements went according to plan we met many Beekeepers at their sites who were pleased to show us around.Dan is very well known in the Kisoro Distict and we were shown places many people would not get too.
For people who are interested in Beekeeping this tour is a must. I shall definitely recommend this tour to other Beekeepers.

Amazing and helpful service
The tour company was absolutely amazing and helpful through each question and each journey of the trip. It really helps that they know what accommodations to select and the different outings and options. Everything was pretty flawless.from airport and site pickups to accommodations, etc. I would recommend them to anyone who is traveling. Anya and Kerry were a huge help!

Africa Safari: Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe), Chobe (Botswana), Okavango Delta (Botswana)
I am really pleased with the communication, service and arrangements from Ute at Roho Ya Chui. Ute was always quick to respond to emails. I loved that she provided a detailed itinerary that provided information about each location, what to expect when you arrived at each location, and the activities included with our stay. She even provided information regarding additional activities that could be selected in Victoria Falls. She sent follow up emails regarding important updates about our trip, she even sent a quick email wishing us a good trip before we left. I thought that was a really nice personal touch that made us feel like she really cared about our trip and our experience. Our trip was seamless. Our airport pick-ups and drop-offs were always punctual, the accommodations were amazing - especially Kadizora Camp in the Okavango Delta! You must experience this camp! Overall, we were extremely happy and would definitely use this safari operator again. I've already recommended it to someone.

Cardboard Box Travel Shop was great!
Anita was fantastic! We were so excited about this trip and were often not sure which option to go with. She patiently guided us through all the choices. The guide book that was included in our arrival kit was also very useful.
It wouldn't be an adventure if it didn't have unexpected things come up, and the Cardboard Box handled the one hiccup we had with a B&B extremely professionally and resolved the issue for us. Overall we had a wonderful time in Namibia and it was largely thanks to the expert guidance provided by Anita and her team.

Amazing adventure!
This was my second visit to the Masai Mara and this safari well exceeded my expectations. Our guides met with us beforehand and knew what we wanted. They definitely delivered! We saw lions, cheetahs, and leopards up close, walked with a knowledgeable park guide along the hippo pool, stopped for photos of elephants, giraffes, cape buffalo, wildebeest and more as requested. I would go again with this tour in a heartbeat!

Deliverd a well organized travel programme (with continious back up) for three groups of four.
Service and comminucation were immaculous. The 11 days road safari in three 4 by 4 landcruisers met the full expectations. This is a very reliable company that you can trust and which is very knowledgable about the Namibian scene.

A Simply Stunning Experience
My wife and I just completed the 15 day tour of South Africa, Swaziland, and Lesotho. We started the tour in Cape Town with Craig, who happily honored our request to reverse the normal order of the tour. We asked for some other modifications of the tour while booking, and again Craig bent over backwards to make us happy. He is a wonderful guide, providing insight into the features and history of his beautiful country. At the end of our time in Cape Town, Craig came down with a case of the stomach flu, and was unable to continue. This had the potential to be a disaster, but Craig simply would not let that happen. He arranged for another expert guide, Louis, to take over and the adventure continued without missing a beat. We saw the big 5 in Kruger, and spent an exciting day in the Hluhluwe reserve as well. Swaziland and Lesotho were both well worth the visit. This tour far exceeded our expectations. We have traveled a fair amount, but this experience is at the top.

3-day safari Serengeti /Ngorogoro
We really enjoyed the safari with this company. The staff of the company is really good.
Jeremias is a very profesional and experienced guide who made us feel safe during the whole safari. He is a very hard working person full of simpathy, he always answered all our questions and explained a lot of different things, not only about animals but also about African people and their traditions.
Also, Dioniz takes his job seriously: the meals were tasty and amazing. His aparience is always clean and smart.
Both were really puntual and, for that reason, we could enjoy all things we wanted to observe without people around.
Justin is a very patient person, who helped us a lot.
We would like to gratify the adaptation to our temporal and economical petitions.

Amazing & well-organised adventure in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Last month we experienced incredible adventure on Safari. It was a joined trip operated by Sandland Tours and Safaris organized by Shabani from African Travel Tour (they are sister companies as far as I'm concerned).
We spent 5 days and 4 nights on the Safari itself. Shabani was very responsive and helpful prior to the trip, he checked the bus from Nairobi for us and picked us up from the bus stop. Outstanding service. Our two nights before and after the Safari were included in the total price. We had to pay $20 for the Arusha airport transfer what was extremely expensive for that distance but that probably compensated for something else.
Safari was amazing, we had the best driver/guide (Eric) and cook (Mr Bean) you could imagine. Thanks to Eric we were always in the best spot to see the animals, even if there were 20 cars at the same time. He just knew where he was going - I talked to many people at the picnic areas and looked like we were the only ones to see some of the rare animals. In addition, he was talkative and had a great sense of humour so it was a real pleasure to spend time with him. Mr Bean cooked the best food ever and I really mean it because my husband who never eats fish was getting 3 helpings of delicious tilapia stew. The soup was so good that all of us were having a refill everyday. I was even asking for the recipe!
The trip was well-organised, I felt like we got the most of it. We were leaving early for the sunrise game drives and coming back as late as possible. We booked budget safari but our first 2 nights were upgraded to tented lodges with private bathrooms. That really exceeded our expectations and was a very nice surprise. We spent the other 2 nights in public campsites but the tents were very good quality, the mattresses and sleeping bags were also provided. The only inconvenience was that our backpack got dirty in the car. It was covered in oil and diesel and some of our clothes were in stains. We were really disappointed but the trip overall was so good that it compensated this mess :-) It was really hard to say goodbye in the end of the trip.
