A wonderful experience, great Safari guide and excellent service!
We wanted to combine a visit to our daughter who was doing an internship in Tanzania with a safari/beach trip. She had arranged her trip through Caracal Tours & Safaris, so it seemed the most logical choice to do the same. All mails and questions were always answered promptly, even though Marion was about to give birth to their second child. Marion prepared a schedule that made it possible for our daughter to join us for the latter part of the safari. We went on the 6 day trip and were really impressed by Ben's eagle eyes and knowledge of all animals and especially birds. We saw the big five, thanks to Ben who seems to be able to spot a canary at a 5 mile distance. He is a very skilled driver who is capable of simultaneously driving and having a conversation and even then spot animals miles before we did. Also his sence of humour and the sometimes philosophical discussions we had during our trip were really great! But beyond all this, they have been a tremendous help when our luggage got lost, they kept in contact with the airport and Ben spent hours to retrieve our bags when they finally arrived and the only comment was: that is al part of the job. We slept in really diverse but all very nice locations and had a wonderful time! After the safari on December 24th, Ben drove us to our next destination and we still feel a little bad that that even made him miss Christmas eve at home, because he had to drive all the way back again all by himself (abt. 8 hour drive!) luckily he was back home again on Christmas morning. In addition to that, they have been really great to my daugther and her friend, helping them in many many ways, for which we are really thankful. All in all, an experience that exceeded all our expectations!

Ruaha with an expert
My wife and I were fortunate enough to spend a weekend of November 2015 with Paul Tickner Safaris at Ruaha National Park.
Having enjoyed some other sights of Tanzania, this proved to be a real - and well hidden - highlight, and Paul proved to be true expert in his field. His knowledge of the park and of the wildlife were apparent throughout the safari, and his local contacts ensured entirely faultless logistics.
We couldn't attach a higher recommendation for a safari with Paul. We look forward to visiting again.

Travelling with Makasa was fantastic!
Wildlife, nature and people in Tanzania speak for themselves. We really loved the tented camps, the beautiful tents, our fantastic guide Kalibi, the way our son has been taught so many amazing things during the gamedrives and the glass of wine at the fireplace.

2 day safari Mikumi nat. park
Pick up from DAR ferry terminal by Daniel and Mohammed.
Fantastic experience, our first safari. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, impalas, giraffes, whartogs, zebras etc. and all in close range with park entrance and cottage.
Very helpfull guide Mohammed. We slept in a cottage at the park. Diner was a good beef stew with rice,
a nice open bar under a big tree beautiful night with lots of stars.
In the very early morning Elephants at "our back yard"
we had breakfast the second day at 0600, but unfortunately Mohammed forgot to tell us that restaurant was not serving at that time but breakfast was ready on table.
Electricity is cut of at cottage from 00:00 till 06:00 (no light, fan or airco) so do not forget to bring a flashlight (!) and take this in account when you charge your batteries (you will make many photos / films)
unfortunately trip was in a regular van - not a 4W Jeep as on photo at request.
We had not taken in account the duration of the trip, from Dar to Mikumi is a 6 hr drive (approx 280 km).
schedule in short;
Day 1 pick up at Zanzibar resort at 0600 - arrival at park 16:00 hrs - afternoon drive till 18:30 - many animals
Day 2 breakfast at 0600 - drive (incl. lions at public "high"way) - departure to Dar at 0830 - Dar 1400, Ferry - back at resort 1830.
Again a very tiring but again fantastic experience !!

Exceptional
Nagi tours sent a guide to meet us at the border town of Namanga as we were to visit Tanzania through that town and proceeded on a 6 day safari which was well planned . I highly recommend this company to any tourist visiting Tanzanian parks.

Beautiful Uganda! Beautiful Gorillas! Beautiful Chimpanzees!
I had an amazing adventure, trekking through the rainforest in Bwindi, tracking chimpanzees in Kibale, and staying at extremely comfortable tent accommodations in Uganda. Peter, my guide and driver, was incredible and is now a life long friend. I especially appreciated the personal attention given to designing my time in Uganda. I wish there were ten stars for this rating!

The mix of van animal sighting and boat animal sighting was really neat
We, a group of 4 friends, did the 3 days Murchison Falls tour with this company.
From the start they were extremely efficient and made us feel confident even when weeks before we were wiring money to them in Uganda.
The van (open top) was a little old and could do with some maintenance but we always felt safe and the driving was safe too. Our driver, Sula, took us safely and efficiently to the north of the country and back.
Their camp near Para, inside the park is great and we loved the tour. The mix of van animal sighting and boat animal sighting was really neat. The park ranger that boarded our van at the Para ferry and did the north bank tour with us was absolutely excellent. She knew everything about the park and even seemed to know every animal species whereabouts. Great!
In the whole we would definitely go on a safari with them again and thus certainly recommend you do too.

A wonderful and Cakewalk Experience
The services offered by Krugerpark.com is amazing. They assisted me from scratch for my South African Trip. The dedicated contact person concept is the best thing offered by them. My contact person Adelle Bell went out of way to plan my itinerary. She was a through professional and provided wonderful suggestions to execute a memorable trip. The expertise give by krugerpark.com in selection of hotel, advise for Game Drive with my little daughter, selection of airport, travelling between the cities was remarkable. Without their help I could not have planned a flawless trip like this. Their contribution and valuable suggestion has made my trip a memorable one.
