Excellent choices and perfect logistics for the entire trip
Giltedge Africa (Southern Africa Travel) offers a wide variety of choices regarding lodges and activities. I had great communication with my agent (Monique Dean) during the whole process of booking. Her suggestions and the final trip were fantastic. I would highly recommend this Agency and if I have the opportunity to travel to their destinations I will certainly contact them again.

Fantastic company! :)
I would highly recommend 'Kili Boys' in Moshi as a tour company! They were honestly amazing for our Kilimanjaro Trek. Our tour operators Dismas and Honest were great, and genuinely cared about our safety and wellbeing – not just on the tour, but also before and after during our stay in Moshi as well. They gave us a great price, great gear, and very experienced guides.
Our guides Leons and Hubert took such good care of us. We got to the summit successfully, and we owe a great deal of that accomplishment to them! When I got sick with a chest infection, they assisted me down the mountain safely, and cared for me like I was one of their family members – making me ginger honey tea and organizing a private hut for me so that I could get the rest that I needed.
This is not just a great tour company, these are great people! I would highly recommend you book with them :)

Great safari experience for a reasonable price!
We are very happy with our experience with Boundless Africa Journeys. The communication with the company was overall very good, even though their email server was down for a while before our trip. Unfortunately we were affected by the significant tax raise of 18%, event though we had already paid a significant deposit. But we realized this was a problem unrelated to the company itself.
Everything about our safari experience upon arrival was excellent! Our driver, Gregory, was very talented, friendly and with a clear focus on our experience. We spent three days in Serengeti and one day in the Ngorongoro crater with him. In Serengeti, he spotted animals where we initially saw only vegetation, and many other safari jeeps followed us closely to take advantage of his knowledge.
It was a great experience to stay at Angani Tented Camp, without fences, in the heart of Serengeti. We heard lions and hyenas roaming around the camp at night.
Overall, we had an amazing vacation that we will never forget.

Too many Safari operators? Go with East African Safari & Touring Company
East African Safari & Touring Company is a relatively small team comparing to some other Safari companies in Tanzania but the key differentiators for this comoany are deep expertise and knowledge of Safari , flexible and customized offers at very attractive and competitive price! The itinerary recommended to us by East African Safari & Touring Company was indeed well balanced between Safari time and time required to connect between Parks so we were not exhausted during the whole Safari trip. And thanks a lot for assigning our small group with Bernard! Bernard is very friendly guide with excellent driving skills and great sense of humor! His deep knowledge and passion in nature and exceptional care about customers thrilled us and kept in excellent mood till the very last moment!
Last but not least we would like to say a few words about camp sites and lodges. They all were great, outstanding places! Ngoro Ngoro wild lodge – renovated with high-class service, spacious rooms with big windows and best-to-view location! Acacia Tented Camp was like a 5 stars luxury hotel in a complete wilderness – new tidy and fully supplied tents, simple but delicious cousin and very friendly stuff. The Boundary Hill Lodge in Tarangire just delighted us with its distinctive uniquely designed lodges masterly integrated into kopje hill nature – a place worth to visit just to feel wild spirit of the East African Savanna!
Being a bit experienced with Safaris, we may say with full confidence that our tour with Eastco was time of relax, pleasure and fun with high class service and care! Even despite depreciation of earnings due to new VAT regulations in Tanzania, the company delivered high class service at initially agreed costs. David & Simon, the owners of East African Safari & Touring Company, keep their business in a very responsible and trustful way and we will recommend your company as reliable Safari partner to our friends and colleagues! Thanks you!

Kenya expedition
We booked RA Safaris for a private Kenya tour out of Nairobi for a week and visited Amboseli , Lake Navaisha and Masai Mara. The trip went exactly as planned and we got to see much more than anticipated. James - our driver and guide - was wonderful and made sure we saw everything ( got the big 5 !). Always up close to the animals and gave us plenty of time . Nothing was rushed. Lodges were well above expectations with great food and magic rooms. Highly recommend this company.

American travelling with Kenyan friend and Young Child
The game drives are fantastic! They really depend a lot on your driver. Both of our drivers together were funny, knowledgeable and got close to the action. I stayed at Rhino camp in Mara which was very fun. Food and facilities were fine, bonfire was made every night, staff were very friendly. Electricity only on at certain hours but hot water always running. Itinerary was clearly outlined in the introduction of the package, no surprises. Only negative I can say is on the day drive to Nakuru we got in around 3 in the afternoon and nothing was planned for that evening.

Family trip
Being a busy parent sometimes you just want to get away from the hectic schedules and demands of life and spend time with loved ones especially children and just being. However being a parent means that even out of work you still have to plan, organize and manage even holidays. Spending time away from hectic schedules was not bound to happen until a chance contact with Gloria who offered to organize a full-board tour to lake Mburo National Park, western Uganda. All i needed was to be there and take time with the children. It was hard to believe as previously planned road trips organized by myself always ended in frayed, tangled knotted nerves and every child more stressed than relaxed. The offer was appealing and being a lover of road trips I decided to give it one try before the next busy phase of my life. Charis Uganda Safaris never gave me an opportunity to regret the decision and it was worth every moment and penny. Thank you Charis and Gloria for making this trip a memorable bonding moment with family.
My Holiday in Tanzania
We saw a lot of wildlife, lions every day, and without exception everyone we met was welcoming and eager to give us a good time.We enjoyed the whole trip, everything went well, food and accommodation were extremely good and everyone we met was very kind and helpful. What was good was that we saw very few other vehicles when on our game drives, it was not like the Serengeti or Ngorongoro where there are often 20 vehicles around one lion!

Help with iinerary and organisation of 26 day self drive tour of Zimbabwe and Botswana
First time to Africa and self driving through Zimbabwe and Botswana was more of a challenge than the 5 of us really expected. It all went well, a proper adventure - thanks to help from Ngati Travel. They went beyond what I would have expected from a Travel Agent. they provided support while allowing us to remain independent.
