15 Days Amazing Kenya Safari
I was satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Claudious Tours and Safaris. The company was easy to deal with. To complete the 15 day-safari planning, my friend and I contacted and discussed with the Claudious several times and we always got the response immediately within a day or two. In particular, Claude did a great job in helping us plan and arrange everything to perfection. When we arrived in Kenya, Claude was waiting for us at the airport. He was extremely helpful and made sure that everything was arranged and we were well taken care of. A special compliment must be made for our guide and driver, Joshua, who was a very good, safe, and professional driver. He was always on time, and his vehicle was well prepared. Joshua was knowledgeable about the area and animals, friendly and responsible. He made sure to address our requirements, especially to take us to see everything we expected and more. We have returned home with a wonderful and great memorable safari experience. We really appreciate the service the Claudious’ staffs provide us. Wish to see you again. Thank you.

Amazing Desert-to-Delta Experience - Namibia, Botswana & Victoria Falls
My husband and I booked this trip-of-a-lifetime with Red Africa Safaris for mainly two reasons: Amelia (the organizer) and Jaco (the tour guide).
The year before, in 2018, we had come across Red Africa Safaris online, and decided to go on a relatively short Panorama Route & Kruger National Park trip with them as they had been very accommodating and quick in responding. The entire experience turned out to be fantastic, from the first e-mail communication with Amelia to the actual trip with the best field guide you can imagine, Jaco. This is why we decided to travel to Africa again this year, and to make this an even more memorable trip.
We were greeted and picked up at the airport in Windhoek on our first day by Jaco, and visited the following breathtaking places in the subsequent days: Sesriem Canyon, Sossusvlei & Deadvlei, Dune 7, Swakopmund, Walvisbaai, Sandwich Harbour, and Etosha National Park. Afterwards, we crossed the boarder into Botswana, spent two days in the Okavango Delta and then in the Chobe area, and visited the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. To go on that trip was one of the best decisions, the perfect combination of beautiful nature and landscapes on the one side, and fantastic animal sightings on the other side. We explored by car, by boat, and by plane, we hiked up dunes to get the most amazing view of our surroundings, enjoyed breakfast in the desert with oryx observing us from a distance, and we flew above hundreds of flamingos along Skeleton Coast.
Thank you, Red Africa Safaris, for tailoring this trip to our needs, for always - again - accommodating our many requests, for taking the time to plan and organize this tour from A to Z, for thinking of the many little details that make the big difference, and for ensuring the trip would be as relaxing and as smooth as possible.
Daer Amelia and dear Jaco, you did a great job, and we will be forever grateful for these two memorable weeks!
We HIGHLY recommend Red Africa Safaris - if you are looking for the best possible Africa experience with the most diligent trip planning and the most knowledgeable and fun field guide there is, then don't look any further :).

Jessica Created our Perfect Honeymoon!
Where do I even begin?! I’m so glad Zicasso matched us up with Jessica! She was a joy to work with while planning our honeymoon. She worked with our budget to put together a trip that was exactly what we were looking for. She was so always so quick to respond and frequently checked in on us throughout this entire process. The thought of planning a big trip like this myself was so daunting, and Jessica made it so EASY. Our trip was the trip of a lifetime. This was my third time traveling to Africa and my second time on safari (South Africa was the first), so I had very high expectations going into this vacation. And this blew all of my expectations away. Not to mention, my husband is new to international travel so he was nervous about this whole experience ;) But since we’ve been home, he literally will not stop talking about what a great time he had! Our lodges, camp, and resort were all wonderful with great food, friendly staff, and we felt very comfortable. Our safari guide Ian was the absolute best! He had a sixth sense for spotting any type of game we wanted to find. He was so experienced and knowledgeable, and you can tell he is truly passionate about what he does. He was with us the entire time we were on safari, and he made sure everything went smoothly, kept track of our itinerary so we didn’t have to, and was also flexible when it came to our daily game drives. 10/10 recommend both Zicasso and Dancing Zebra. Couldn’t have done it without them!

This was the perfect vacation!!!! LOVE IT
We did a 5 day safari with Nkollotours in June for our vacation. Allan offered a perfect service from the very start, answered all our questions and believe me we were annoying, (at least I thought) but he had so much patience, until the end of the tour. We visited 3 National Parks on our trip and enjoyed every single one of them. We were only two people on the tour although we booked the standard tour. The car was in good condition, clean and very secured. Our tour guide, Victor, He knew where to look for hidden animals, he shared his vast knowledge of African wildlife. He even found a private campground were we stayed on our own with all sorts of animals around. Amazing feeling! The tents were new and big enough you could almost stand. We enjoyed to be on a very individual tour. THANKS to Allan for constantly checking on us, we were overwhelmed with his exceptional customer service, assurance and for the best experience in a Safari. I would book again with Allan on a Heartbeat.

Great great great experience!!!
It's not my first safari but for sure it has been the BEST safari ever.
Together with the driver Malaki and chef Action I enjoyed this pleasant 4-days tour.
Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti, lake Manyara were very full of animals and the driver was very expert in finding them. The chef Action prepared typical local food as per our request and accomodation was as expected.
Very great experience.
Highly recommended company.

world class safari with a personal touch
We booked safari in Kenya and Tanzania for two weeks as an intergenerational family trip. Our party ranged from age 7 to 72 and we felt our tour catered to all of our interests and needs. The driver/ guides were wonderful, knowledgeable warm and fun. We learned so much and they really customized each day to suit our desires. We were stunned by the amount of animal life we were able to enjoy and the ability of our guides to steer us to the best viewing experiences. The quality of the accommodations were impeccable . Every lodge was beautiful with excellent food and caring service. The trip was definitely our most memorable and special and we could not have done what we did without the expert logistical support of Asaray tours. Thank you !

Otto's South Tanzania tour
We had with Otto a very good organized tour to the quit south of Tanzania. Ketulo NP; Ruaha NP; Mikumi NP; Selous and at the end a nice stay at the Indian Ocean in the little town of Kilwa. Otto is not only an excellent safari guide with fish eagle eyes, but also a good driver which is necessary in the chaotic Tanzania traffic, specially bus drivers. Otto is flexible with good advices if he thinks the best option is to change the tour. If you need Otto he is there on time, if you don't need him he leaves you alone. In this safari there is a nice mountain walk through the Uluguru mountains. If you don't have a little experience in the mountains , take the same way
back, but go with the local guide Andrew and stay one afternoon and night with the friendly locals there.

wonderful tour and very well done
We very much enjoyed our tour experience with Go Touch Down. Very well done. The idea of small groups was excellent. The accommodations and the various meals at local restaurants was also very good. It was so nice to order directly from a menu and the dinning at the various wineries was fabulous. We really tours to other parts of South Africa. Over all we feel the company did a fabulous job conducting the tour. I have recommended the company to others I have had conversations with. We really enjoyed meeting the company owner as well as the other persons working for the company. Our tour guides were very good particularly "Buckies".

One word - Superb!
Everything from start to finish has quite simply been fantastic.
Melanie from Pembury Tours listened to our likes and dislikes and taylor-made our itinerary to suit. The result? A perfect blend of South African hospitality spread over 42 nights. It really couldn't have been better.
Moreover, it is refreshing to note that the fee to put all this together was more than reasonable. Melanie has been flawless throughout.

Great communication & guides
Prior to booking our safari we exchanged communications with lots of companies but no one matched the cost breakdown and detailed responses from E-Trip who answers questions we didn’t even know we had! This gave a real comfort feel I booking something we had no experience of and on arrival in Tanzania the great service continued. We stayed at Researchers Rest and met Ben who had organised our trip for us in person. We then spent 5 nights on the road with our guide Aladdin who was very informative and did his best to ensure we saw everything we wanted to see (except that pesky rhino which evaded us). The lodges we stayed at we all great, again we took advice from e-trip on this and managed to score some honeymoon discounts. Everything about the whole end to end process was easy and well put together.
