Families, couples, photographers, and seniors all sharing what it felt like to travel with EXG Safaris.
"The company is comprised of delightful and warm individuals! Each person we met was helpful and informative. Our luxury safari during July was truly an amazing experience. Upon arrival, we were met with refreshments and more. At this time, we met our guide, Frank, for the first time; he was fabulous. His knowledge of the area, the animals, the vegetation, and the people was superior. The places we stayed were delightful and were filled with helpful staff and kind individuals. We were able to see the BIG 5!!! Frank was so happy to provide options and truly surpassed our expectations. I cannot wait to share this experience with others!"

"We experienced Tanzania as if we were explorers from National Geographic! EXG Safaris LLC greeted us from touch down to departure and took us in as family all in between our 15-day journey. Our 1st stop was to the Serval Wildlife Sanctuary where giraffes, zebras, turtles, and an albino lion roamed freely and we got to feed, pet, and have pictures made with them (didn't feed lion). Shout out to Wilfred who shepherded me through the terrain. Our personal safari guides, Hassan and Obert became our sons and brothers as they accommodated every wish we voiced (fresh avocados, ginger beer, sight-seeing stops). The knowledge we learned will not be lost. We'd only heard and dreamed of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park, etc, but got to live, breathe, touch, smell and know/sense, hear/speak tongue of Mother Earth/the motherland. We acknowledged that we were surrounded by the first lands and first peoples of the planet. Every person we encountered met us with the hugest, most authentic smiles you could imagine, gleamed from the most gorgeous and diversified radiance. We got to see the Big 5!! Before coming, I didn't even know that that was a thing! The hostesses, Glory and Beatrice generously gifted us (wink-wink; I misplaced something, which they replaced) and shared so much info when they popped up at various and distant locations we encountered. They always were so graceful and pleasant to see. We now have additional daughters and sisters. We added a Serengeti Hot Air balloon experience and would highly recommend! Shout out to our pilot, Blake, our guardian Ezekiel. a very proud and ambitious young man, Eddie, from Serena Hotel (one of our bedding accommodations) who is a very engaging young man, prepped and assisted us both before and after landing. Did I mention the champagne and breakfast in the Serengeti after the landing? Whoa, it was surreal! We were so elegantly served by culturally donned masters of the universe!!! Shout out and many thanks to Frank, Phillip, Osmund, Shariq, all the other team members, and also to all the co-travelers! We made forever contacts (I hope)! Justin (CEO), you put together a fabulous team and excursion! Seeing the Big 5 in their habitat doing their shenanigans, and meeting, greeting, and talking to nomadic people (Maasi, Bushmen, Datoga, and Hadzabe) was humbling as we contemplated existence in far-away and dense terrains for millenia. This was a well thought out itinerary and a so much appreciated experience. Needed it!! Thank You All Very Much! Hakuna Matata!"

"What an amazing trip! Seeing all the animals, staying in exquisite accommodations, incredible food, and, of course, one of the best guides I've ever experienced. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone!!"

"This was a 10 Day Safari adventure into Tanzania. It included a variety of National parks, stays in phenomenal lodges, and game drives beyond expectations. Our guides, Fadhili and Hassani were fantastic! I will request them for future travelers. We enjoyed daily game drives after relaxing breakfasts at the lodges, then, picnic lunches out in the wild! Time to freshen up after the day before dinner, and then time to get some well needed sleep before the next day's adventure."

"Shared a once in a lifetime experience with the most wonderful safari partner, EXG Safaris. Everything was perfect from the wildlife sightings, our guide Pateick Paul beyond amazing (knowledgeable, patient and fun!) The hotel and tent hotel accommodations were beyond spectacular. It was a learning opportunity as a travel advisor and I look forward to sharing this experience with my clients as they are ready to book a once in a lifetime experience... highly recommend EXG."

"We did 10 day safari and it is a trip of a lifetime. We were never disappointed with each day it got more exciting. We were treated great and always informed about animals we were seeing. The guides knew where to go and get the best photos."

"Last day of an amazing experience with people, animals, culture, and scenery. Accommodations were all top notch with a variety of food options. I was treated to a parading herd of elephants at the lodge watering hole at one location, and two Cape Buffalo 25 feet off my patio at another. Our group of 6 was split into 2 safari jeeps, making for a comfortable animal viewing experience when on the safari drives. By far the greatest impact were our excellent guides, Samson Mweta and Bahati Abel. Their deep knowledge, sense of humor, patience and sense of caring made our adventure joyous. EXG provided a seamless experience that we will treasure for the rest of our lives."

"We just concluded a 12 day safari to Tanzania. The trip exceeded all our expectations. The country is beautiful and we were able to have an upclose experience with all kinds of animals. Our guides, Samson and Bahati, added so much to the trip with their willingness to share information. The hotel accommodations were great! There were a few challenges we encountered, but nothing that we could not overcome. A special thanks to Catherine Alexander, who did such a fabulous job arranging the trip. Her work went above and beyond. We look forward to a return trip soon!"

"My name is Patricia Walker, and I am a travel agent. I went to Tanzania on a FAM safari with five of my clients. This was an amazing 12 day safari. Everyday was magical experience seeing animals in the wild so very close. Flying a hot air balloon over the Serengeti was an experience so amazing that words cannot express the emotions of that once in a lifetime experience. Visiting local tribes and experiencing their cultures and way of life was phenomenal. Our driver was the most attentive, caring, and wonderful driver we could have hoped for. I highly recommend EXG for your safaris."

"The Tanzanian safari was a wonderful experience and adventure! The sights, including the animals, of course were spectacular! Betsy and Your Travel Wizards did a fantastic job of organizing this trip and handling hiccups that occurred, which were out of anyone's control. EXG drivers did an excellent job of sighting animals and supplying information about the animals, environment, and keeping us together. I highly recommend Your Travel Wizards for any African safari's, as well as travel anywhere in the world!"

"Betsy from Your Travel Wizards truly made our dreams come true. Our safari to Tanzania was absolutely wonderful—every detail was arranged in advance, and the app she provided made it so easy to follow our daily schedule. Our wildlife sightings were plentiful and exceptional, far beyond what we imagined. We are incredibly grateful for Betsy's expertise. Her deep experience in Africa and her thoughtful advice were invaluable in helping us plan and pack with confidence. We are already looking forward to working with her again—perhaps even on another safari to Africa!"

"My husband and I had a fantastic experience on our first 12-day African safari in Tanzania. Our travel agent, Betsy, and Your Travel Wizards did a super job putting this trip together. We had up close and personal experiences with so many of wild animals (except the rhino!) that we had never seen in the wild. Our EXG drivers, Joseph and Raphael, were so knowledgeable about the animals and were able to spot an animal in far-away trees! Betsy was instrumental in handling any and all obstacles we encountered, and I highly recommend Betsy and Your Travel Wizards."

"I took the Tanzania safari tour for seven days. It was one of the most pleasurable experiences I have ever undertaken. We were a group of six, placed in two cars, which we wondered about but EXG knew what they were doing. We took the luxury tour and the places we stayed were far, far above what i expected. Excellent accommodations, good food, cooked lunch's- beautiful places in the absolute middle of nowhere! Our guides, Frank and Patrick were the best. Friendly, very knowledgeable, accommodating. They spent a lot of time explaining the way the animals live, survive, procreate."
