African Safari Companies & Travel Agents

This trip will go down in the books! FIVE STARS for our travel agency! We visited Tanzania on a beautifully curated trip by the talented and thoughtful Jessica, owner of the travel company and our amazing guide. NOTHING about this trip was cookie cutter and no corners were cut! We stayed in the most stunning camps in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti and were treated like royalty. It was clear to us from the moment that we arrived that, Jessica was truly loved and, as a result, were treated with extra care everywhere we went. Like many, we had to postpone our trip twice due to Covid. Jessica was exceptional in her communication to us throughout and accommodating with rescheduling. She left no question unanswered and personally walked us through every step. Thank you, Jessica for your exceptional attention to detail and guidance through everything! Her love for Tanzania shines through!Our guide was with us throughout the trip. He is one of the most exceptional humans that I have come across in my life. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about all of the areas we visited and the wildlife, but he had a sense of adventure that led us to special places off the beaten path and experiences that were truly ours, away from the masses. No short cuts with him! Furthermore, he was a great communicator and a positive, fun person to be around. Hakuna Matata!!

Talk about the trip of a lifetime. Our trip was magical, memorable, and worry-free. Our travel designer from the travel company helped us plan our two-week honeymoon and it was better than we could have ever imagined. He spent so much time and effort in creating the perfect and unique trip for us. He listened to our preferences, priorities, and concerns, and tailored the trip to what we were looking for. Even with COVID changing our initial plans, he was right there with a great backup option and was always available for a phone call to discuss and adjust our plans. When we wanted to change around a couple of aspects of the itinerary (for example, a different hotel for part of the trip) he had multiple backup options.Going to Africa a few days after getting married, during a global pandemic, was a challenge. However, the designer and the staff in Tanzania made the trip seamless and relaxing. Once we got to Tanzania, we felt like we were always being looked out for and always well taken care of. Our safari driver was exceptional. He was so fun to travel with and always found the best spots for us to view wildlife on our game drives. He was fun, kind, knowledgeable, and he went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and protected. After a week of safari, we got to end our trip in Zanzibar. Although the weather was spotty, the resort had so much to offer. Our villa was beautiful with a private pool, the food was wonderful, and the pool/beach were incredible. Our honeymoon package included a massage and a private beachfront dinner. The staff was always available to help and went out of their way to be hospitable.Some family members decided to surprise us with additional experiences throughout our honeymoon as a wedding gift. We only learned after how helpful our travel designer was with putting the surprises together and helping them pick out memorable, special, and romantic experiences.We look back on our trip so fondly and highly recommend the travel team. We so appreciate that he made sure to follow up with us after our trip and couldn't wait to hear about it and help us relive our favorite moments.

If I could mark this as a 10 star experience, I would. The travel company did a phenomenal job at planning and helping us have an enchanting 4 weeks long tour of Southern Africa in some of the most memorable, iconic, and fantastic places on earth. We started planning the trip 3 years before we could actually travel due to the restrictions imposed by Covid but our travel agent stood by us and worked with us the entire way to make this happen. At every step of the way, I felt that we received the best advice, recommendation, and service. We ended up visiting South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe/Zambia (Victoria Falls). We stayed at 12 locations, flew 7 flights intra-Africa,  and had 17 transfers to and from our destinations, not to mention the 30 plus trips/outings/drives that we took at the various locations. All this worked without one single snag. Everybody we met along the way and worked with were absolutely incredible; professional, courteous, friendly, and happy to assist in a genuine way, which made us feel welcome and added tremendously to the experience. The travel company was always just an email or phone call away and always responded immediately to the various questions I had as well as accommodated changes without any issues. In addition, we had several heartwarming surprises along the way that the company arranged to help us celebrate an anniversary and my wife's birthday.I do not hesitate to give the highest rating and warm recommendation to the travel company. Book with confidence knowing that they will go the extra hundred miles to ensure you will have the time of your life and remember fondly your trip to Africa.Thank you so very much Kylie, Rachel and the travel team, you have helped Monica and I to enjoy your beautiful part of the world, learn so many things, and make memories (supported by 6,500 pictures and 24 hours of video footage) that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

We had a wonderful vacation in Tanzania and Zanzibar. We would like to thank our travel specialist for the meticulous and thoughtful planning and their responsiveness to my questions and requests. We also would like to thank all the people help us during the trip. They are very attentive, patient and highly professional. They made our trip smooth and hassel-free and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience during this unforgettable trip! We will definitely recommend our travel specialist to our friends and families. Should we decide to come back and visit, we will definitely use them again!!! 

Long ago my husband and I decided to put Africa on our bucket list, but we kept hesitating due to the high cost and long trip. Then 2020 happened. We decided it was now or never so we went to work. I did some research and selected a few Africa specialists and finally settled on Kirsty and her travel company. I liked her right away and she not only knew her stuff (everyone knew their stuff), but she also listened to what we wanted. I liked the fact that she was South African but lived in Canada so it was easier to communicate with her.I booked the trip almost a year in advance and there were several worries along the way. I wasn't sure if we would be able to go given the state of Covid, the state of the world and numerous other obstacles. I felt like a nuisance always sending Kirsty emails asking her this or that, but she always replied to me patiently. She was there for us every step of the way. We didn't have a single issue that she couldn't handle.

I was very impressed with our travel agency. Dan from the travel company had helped plan our vacation trip which was truly memorable. His choice of local travel agents and guides in Africa were extremely knowledgeable and helped us uniquely arrange the schedule and the events we wanted to experience. They also were very friendly and accommodative to all our needs during each of the tours.

We were so blessed to have been able to do this trip. It was truly amazing! It was a great idea to choose a local travel agency because anytime i had questions or new requests i was able to contact them directly and the responses were quick. We were received with so much welcomed. The accommodations, activities and the safari were wonderful. This trip made us fall in love with Africa and would love to come back. We thank Zicasso for pairing us with the right agency. And Maurice (Our travel agent contact) for preparing a wonderful itinerary based on our needs. I definitely recommend their services. The main highlight of our trip besides the safari was staying at the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi. When discussed this with other agencies, nobody was able to get us in, as this place is very hard to get into and most people have to book 1 year or 2 years in advance! However, Maurice was able to get us in. This is one of the reasons why we choose Zicasso and Maurice's travel agency. He is a local travel agent and i think our chances were better with him than with other travel agencies. Thank you so much for making our dream come true We love to travel and think of using your services in a near future!

Trip went great and the travel company did a great job at planning all the reservations and logistics and suggesting the locations and camps. We were very happy to work with the company.
