    This was the most outstanding adventure. Our guide Letomba was absolutely amazing. We saw all the big 5 except lions and water buffalo. We actually saw 3 cheetahs hunting an impala, successfully. More than highly recommended

    Our transport there and back was great. Our driver was friendly, knowledgeable, and very safe. The first site of the facility increased our excitement. Beautiful place. Lunch was very tasty, everyone was polite and eager to assist. Our safari guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Gave us lots of interesting information about the animals we saw. Though we did see lots of different animals, I wish there were more. However that didn’t dim the initial excitement. We all took lots of pictures and had a great time! It was a very good first safari!!!

    This was a wonderful tour and our tour guide Chris was excellent! He had so much knowledge and really did a great job talking about the history of the area and stopping a long the way to see awesome sights or getting coffee or lunch. He also made an additional stop along the way knowing we would miss it the next day when it was going to rain. The lodge was great and so was the food they served. The game drive and guide was also very good for a first time safari experience. I only wish we had a little more time at the lodge but the drive there and back takes time and with the stops along the way, we didn't have time to hang by pool/hot tub But overall it was wonderful!

    Our vessel arrived late, but the driver waited 4 hrs for the group and rearranged the visit time at the park.
    Highly recommended for cruise ship passengers who book off ship.
    The tour itself was well worth the money seeing all the big 5.
    Even the two hour drive to the park was interesting.
    Thankyou for a great day after it started badly.

    The trip was amazing! Visited two separate reserves and both were absolutely beautiful. The guide (Uriel) was very friendly and helped you every step of the way. I definitely recommend this trip.

    Our experience was just fantastic with Jason! My husband and I both felt that he had our best interest at heart and went out of his way to make everything run smoothly and be very enjoyable. Jason was very knowledgeable about his country, the safari as well as many other details along the way. Would highly recommend this company !

    Did a safari with MOAfrika Tours on Sunday May 26, 2024. Our tour guide name was Tian. Overall the safari was great. Tian did a wonderful job in being our tour guide. He was marvelous and instrumental in us finding all the animals to see. The only animal we did not get a chance to see in plain sight were the Lions.

    We had a delicious lunch, however, it was difficult trying to eat our lunch, due to the amount of bees that kept invading the lunch space area.

    TK was an excellent guide. He was very well informed, friendly, conscientious, and a prompt and safe driver.
    The tour was very enjoyable. We saw a lot of wildlife en-route, but not as much on the safari as people expected. The safari guides followed footprints, but could not find the lion nor the elephant making them. It is not a zoo, and the animals are not tame, so this should be expected from time to time.
    We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of lodging. It was very nice.

    We had a spectacular private safari trip with Gerrie on May 15th. We saw more than expected in great part to Gerrie’s knowledge of animal behavior and persistence in finding the animals we hoped to see. Highly recommend!!
