Gorilla and chimp trekking safari by Trackssafaris
We have just come back from a tailormade holiday put together for us by Trackssafaris. We wanted a wildlife experience tracking gorilla and chimp but also taking in other wildlife and birds. The itinerary had to change due to Foreign Office advice against areas in Uganda. Sue (at Trackssafaris) was able to make changes without causing any problems and it did not affect our holiday. We can recommend the company without any qualms at all. Professional, friendly and always available. Thank you.

Dear Derek and Catherine,
Thank you for booking your holiday to Uganda with Tracks Safaris and travelling to the country at a difficult time.
Once you had made the decision to travel, we pulled out all the stops to ensure that your holiday ran smoothly and you saw what you wanted to see, but avoided areas which the FCO advised against travelling to.
i am so pleased that you had a great safari despite all the challenges, and we look forward to assisting you again in the future!
With best wishes,

Personal touch and attention to detail
When we decided that we wanted to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary on safari in Tanzania we automatically turned to Sue at Tracks as we had used her before. She knows the best accommodation, the best areas and the best tour organisers. She put a superb safari together for us at the price range we requested . What puts her above everyone else is her attention to detail and her personal touch to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Highly recommended.

Extremely helpful & knowledgeable during the planning stage and also when we had to change our itinerary at short notice (whilst travelling to our destination) due to a change in foreign office travel advice. All accommodation and guides were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. All land and air transfers between game parks were seamless. It really was a holiday of a lifetime - thank you Track Safaris.

Sue and her team in Tanzania managed to help us at incredibly short notice when we were let down with our original safari company who we had booked with in 2020. I explained that we were due to arrive in 24 hours and was there anything she could do to help. Within an hour (and working with a 3 hour time difference) she had made an itinerary with availability to suit our needs and budget!!
Unfortunately; due to family circumstances alongside this we decided we could not proceed to leave, but her service to that point surprised us both in its efficiency!
We hope to use Tracks Safaris in future when we can and would recommend reaching out to Sue for anyone interested in a tailored African safari.

This was a holiday of a lifetime, made special by being so well guided both in choosing appropriate accommodation in Zimbabwe and by using Track Safari's personal experience in selecting excellent camps for our stay.

Mykambi safaris superb.
Just be prepared for tetsy flies. Loose light coloured clothes and a wafting stick .

Dear Sharon and David,
Thank you for posting a review about your experience with Tracks Safaris and we are so pleased that you had a brilliant trip!
The Kafue National Park is indeed off the beaten track and little visited compared with other parks in Africa - but it has some amazing little camps and lodges and the wildlife viewing is especially special when you have few vehicles to share it with!
We are looking forward to booking your next adventure soon!

If you want a personal experience on…
If you want a personal experience on your safari Sue Preater provides just that. Unable to take part in the two small group safaris (Kenya and Tanzania) I was originally interested in (due to availability) a few bespoke days were arranged before I joined the Classic Kenya safari with Pollman Safaris. 24 hours in Nairobi (visiting the giraffe breeding centre, the elephant museum and Karen Blixens house) gave me the best introduction to Kenya. I then took a flight down to the Mara for a 3 night stay in Porini Mara camp, a private conservancy, which was amazing. Quiet and close to the animals in an open sided jeep with very informative driver and spotter plus incredible freshly cooked food and very comfortable accommodation at the camp.

Exceptional trip to Tanzania
We are experienced travellers in Southern Africa but this is the first time with Track Safaris who we met at Destinations Travel Show. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble for Sue, she listened to what we wanted to do and came up trumps. Our trip to Northern Tanzania/Zanzibar was faultless. Our driver/guide was excellent and our game viewing was mind blowing. Accommodation was great. Camping in Tanzania was amazing. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better experience and would have no hesitation in recommending Track Safaris.

Victoria Falls & Botswana Safari

Good planning is key to what we do and knowing the areas we operate in so well is very important - I personally visit Africa 4 or 5 times a year and will have stayed in most lodges and camps we recommend.

Malaysia and Borneo
We asked Sue at Tracks to advise us on a holiday to Malaysia and Borneo, having had such good experiences with her on previous trips to Africa. To our surprise, she agreed to arrange it for us, despite this not being an area that Tracks normally offers. As usual Sue worked with us to design our ideal trip including multiple centres across the two countries. We have just returned from an amazing holiday - lovely varied hotels, interesting activities including city tours, a cooking class and wildlife viewing in Borneo, and everything worked like clockwork. Thank you, Sue - we look forward to travelling with you again.

Tour of Namibia
All the trip arrangements worked very smoothly. The lodges selected were very good and we really experienced the highlights of Namibia. Covid meant that the trip had to be moved from 2020 to 2021 and then again to 2022. This was handled with a minimum of fuss. We received excellent advice and support throughout the planning process.

So pleased that you eventually travelled after postponing your trip to Namibia a number of times due to covid - and that it proved to be worth the wait!
During covid it was a pleasure to help our clients push their holidays back - but as we all had no idea how long it was going to last - sometimes this was more than once. Great to hear that you felt that this was achieved with minimum fuss and you received excellent advice and support throughout.
We are looking forward to helping you with your next adventure to Africa, India or Sri Lanka!
