Testimonials

Another excellent trip with Safari Tours!!
Thanks to their professional arrangement, and very knowledgable guides, I had the most wonderful experience of watching Sulawesi endemic fauna in the wild ....

... A family of the tiny spectral tarsiers emerging from their nest in a tree-hole at dusk and jumping from tree to teee ....
a group of the black crested macaques including young babies roaming in the forest for their breakfast, ....
... the bear cuscus eating young leaves on top of tall tropical trees, ....
...a couple of red-knobbed hornbills swooshing around the forest treetops,.... the blue-headed (greenbacked) kingfisher perched quietly on a log, lilac-cheeked kingfisher near a river, ...
... a white-bellied Sea eagle soaring high in the sky,...
...many graceful colourful butterflies flitting from the forest to the flowers and sometimes over the waves and landing on the black sandy beach .... .
And more!

Those were magnificent sights to behold!!
Imagine Wallace's astonishment too more than a hundred years ago when he postulated similar to Darwin, regarding the special island fauna of Sulawesi.

I would do this trip again!! And again!
And highly recommend Safari Tours and their guides Mr Freddy, Mr Medy, etc. Fabulous!

In the past, inspired by Alfred Wallace's stories of amazing endemics (and now endangered species) in his book "The Malay Archipelago", I joined a few trips in North Sulawesi, organized by the SAFARI TOURS & TRAVEL. The eco trips were excellent!

I was very impressed by the professional service and impeccable attention to details by the friendly and knowledgeable team of SAFARI TOURS. Excellent overall!

Awe-struck by the many amazing endemics, including the nocturnal tiny primates (Tarsius sp.) hiding in the trees, and the megapodes bird (Macrocephalon maleo) that lay a huge single egg a few feet underground using geothermal heat to incubate the egg!

Two dives done at the Sponge Garden and Black Rock (in conjunction with Thalassa Dive Center) were also amazing, particularly the diverse sponges, nudibranchs, and fish including the yellow frogfish.

Tremendously enjoyed the wonderful trips. I highly recommend SAFARI TOURS & TRAVEL, whenever you want to discover the eccentric uniqueness and biogeography quirks of this Wallaceana region.

Am planning to join more of their trips in the future (perhaps to see the Faviid corals and experience the electric, disco-light clams, etc... .).

We visited Manado during New Year's holiday season. Since we had to meet many conditions for travel related COVID-19, actually we could not feel at ease all the time during my trip. Still Safari Tours was really helpful like supporting us to take Antigen test at the airport, being flexible arranging our travel schedule.
I think without their help we cannot go on our travel in Manado.

(Tangkoko Day Tour)

Safari Tours and Travel did an exceptional job arranging for our travel from Indonesia to Thailand. It would not have been possible without them! Great attention to detail and communication has made them the only company to use when booking travel through Indonesia. Thank you so much!

As a solo female traveller to Bali and N. Sulawesi this July, I have only good things to say about the 10 day travel package that Safari Tours and Travel put together for me. Even before I got to Indonesia, communication was quick and efficient and I thank Lusia for this. All arrangements were were taken care of, from transportation to hotels and meals. In Sulawesi, David Solangs was very attentive and interesting and together with Meidi, our Tangkoko guide, I was fortunate to see so many wonderful things. Thank you Safari Tours and Travel.
