Complete tour. A perfect mix.
We totally recommend Dancing Simba Safari experience as they put all the effort to make your days unforgettable.
Lucia helped us to arrange everything. From the beginning to the end of our trip. We had nothing to worry about, as everything was sorted.
She recommended us the best safari package within our budget and it was indeed what we were looking for.
Also the drivers in the company, Owen and Praise took very well care of us and took us to amazing places having a good knowledge of the sites we were visiting.
Definitely would repeat again with them!

I highly recommend Wayne at The Kruger Safari Co.
Wayne helped me book a 5-day safari at the Kapama River Lodge. He was extremely professional and responsive. And, he made the booking process easy. It is without hesitation that I recommend Wayne at The Kruger Safari Co.
I must also say that safari at Kapama River Lodge was outstanding. Five out of five stars. Our guides, Godsave and Penny, were exceptional. We were lucky to see all of the big five (multiple times) as well as several of the small five and ugly five.

Absolutely perfect for the job
I recently explored Materuni Waterfalls with Korongo Expeditions, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The trek through lush greenery and coffee plantations was enchanting, guided by friendly staff sharing fascinating stories. Arriving at the majestic waterfall was awe-inspiring, with Korongo ensuring our safety and comfort every step of the way. If you're planning a Tanzanian safari, don't miss out on this incredible experience with Korongo Expeditions.

Best Botswana Safari
My wife and I went on safari with Lucas and his crew back in August 2021, and it was without question one of the best things we have ever done. We can't speak highly enough of Lucas. His passion for wildlife and conservation is second to none, and because he is an amazing photographer himself, he always stops at exactly the right spots and angles for you to get stunning pictures of the wildlife. He also excelled at providing a personalized experience for everyone in the group; some people wanted to see birds, others wanted the big game, one person even wanted to see bush babies. Lucas informed them that bush babies would be tough to spot, but he would do his best.. Lo and behold, Lucas found her some bush babies in an evening drive!! It was an absolutely amazing experience.
In addition to his exceptional safari guide skills, he is an amazing person to be around, genuinely funny and charismatic! I cannot recommend Lucas enough, and the bush camping safari provides a way to see the animals up close and personal that a traditional safari camp can't provide. The accommodations were perfect and the food was awesome, especially considering the limited equipment that the chef has to work with!
We thought that this trip was our once in a lifetime trip, but it was so amazing that we will definitely be back to see Lucas!!
Thanks Lucas,
Alex and Taylor

Unforgettable 6 day safari in Tanzania
Our safari was organized by Hugo and he was absolutely great to work with. My husband and I had the trip of a lifetime; everything went perfectly. We are so happy we went with SoT when booking, and even more thankful to have had an amazing tour guide, Simon! Not only was he knowledgeable and so passionate about his job, he made it such an enjoyable experience for us and we hope to have another trip in the future!

Wonderful
We trusted Kiwoito, a local company, to carry out our week-long safari in Tanzania. We had no idea what to expect and we were spellbound from start to finish. Charles came to pick us up from the airport, explained everything to us by taking us to our hotel, then handed us over to Abuu for the rest of our adventure. We were delighted with the hotels and camps selected by Kiwoito. The breakfasts, lunch boxes and dinners were all freshly prepared, it was delicious. The staff in the establishments are always adorable and that was very much appreciated! And thanks again to our great guide, we couldn’t have asked for better. Abuu was able to meet all our expectations, and we had a good laugh. We visited several parks and we loved Ndutu because being a conservation we could get off the slopes and really play explorers! We saw a lot of animals and closer than we could have imagined.
You can go there with your eyes closed!

An huffy tour operator
We didn' travel with this operator because their first travel proposal (by Mirta- Director) included hotels and accommodation for 200USD per night and more. So I asked for a lower level of accommodation so that we could have a more affordable price, and I asked for some changes to the program, in order to have a customization closer to our needs.
Although these requests are normal, at least in the early stages of the negotiations, her answer was peremptory and without the possibility of reply. In practice, in addition to not having accepted my requests for adaptation to the program, he told me to turn to someone else.
It is unfortunate to see that it is the Director who is so touchy. Probably this operator don’t need new customers who can expand their portfolio.

Fantastic experience, highly recommend booking with Zohar!
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Zohar! I was nervous to book the safari for many reasons: it was our first time visiting an African country, we were in the middle of an extended world trip and so our luggage situation was not ideal, and although I researched thoroughly I was still always slightly concerned that things sounded better on paper than they would be in real life.
I did not need to worry! Lilian and the team at Zohar were so professional and really took care of everything. Pre-travel, the safari guides and emails received were very helpful. We always received quick responses (or an explanation as to why there might be a delayed response). Lilian was always happy to do whatever she could to help us prepare for the trip. When we arrived, we had a WhatsApp group so that we could easily talk with the team if needed (although this was usually for photo sharing). Lilian also met with us in person before we left Arusha, to go over everything and answer any last questions. We were surprised when Jacqueline came to the airport to say goodbye before we left for Zanzibar (we had not expected anyone). It made us feel appreciated that the team at Zohar wanted to meet in person to make sure all our questions were answered and that we had a good time. We also appreciated the gifts of custom water bottles for the safari (reduce the plastic waste of many smaller water bottles!) and coffee beans to take home.
All of the hotel and itinerary recommendations were spot on and we enjoyed every moment. My kids are picky about where we stay and they really liked all of the places that were booked for us. Lilian warned us in advance about any quirks of the accommodations, which are expected when you are staying in a national park, but they were still clean, comfortable, safe and provided ensuite bathrooms and hot showers!
We were in Tanzania for 3 weeks and did not need to think about anything- as Lilian said, our only job was to show up on time, they took care of the rest! We appreciated them checking in with us frequently and being on top of it when (rarely) an issue arose. Solomon and Goodluck were fantastic safari guides and my kids still can’t believe we got to see a cheetah run at top speed in the wild to capture a gazelle! Some other unforgettable safari moments were having a herd of elephants come so close to us we could have touched them if we reached out, seeing a lion family resting on a rock and watching a mama lion catch breakfast for her cubs. We really appreciated Solomon and Goodluck’s expert driving, vast knowledge, keen eye and patience with our questions (and for their patience with our kids!).
We were also grateful that we received some authentic experiences. We were able to visit with multiple Tanzanian tribes, and felt that this was done in a manner that was very respectful of the culture. We tried local foods and even got to do a cooking class in Zanzibar.
We are so grateful for the skill and expertise of Lilian, Solomon, Goodluck and the rest of the team at Zohar. I had emailed many companies for quotes but Lilian stood out in many areas- price, quality of accommodations, speed of replies and ability to craft an itinerary that was ideal for my family. We felt that we were not another large group of tourists, like some of the other groups we saw, and that they truly wanted us to see what Tanzania was about. They also wanted to make sure our trip was memorable and comfortable, and the little details were always attended to (even cleaning the safari truck daily when possible!). I would 100% recommend Zohar to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

Ganyana Safari is best option for Uganda trip
We went to Uganda at our own risk, but thanks to Ganyana Safari we had the most beautiful experiences. Our best driver, Musoke, who also became our very good friend took us to places we would not have visited on our own. We had a lot of fun, the driver was very accommodating and planned the program according to us and all of money are worth it :) Thanks to Ganyana we are leaving with full hearts and cannot imagine our trip in Uganda any other way. I am recommending it to absolutely everyone. We are so grateful <3 Thanks from Nadi, Janka, Matej, Robert and Antony

Fantastic
I absolutely loved my experience with this company. Our tour guide was Humphre, and I truly believe that he was one of the reasons that our trip was as amazing as it was. He was welcoming, friendly, and so great at what he does. Thanks to him, we were able to get up close and personal with the wildlife while out on safari, while maintaining a safe and respectful distance. Korongo was reliable, communicative, and made sure that we had resources we might need while out in the bush for long periods of time. Our time spent in Africa was the trip of a lifetime, and I would absolutely come back and tour again with Korongo.
