Great experience solo traveler - I had a great time at the safari with Etson and the park ranger. We got to see zebras, elephants, wild beats and lots of antelope. The lunch was also great and the stops on the way back. I would recommend to many.

Great experience - We were lucky to have Ivone with us. The trip was organized very well. We were lucky to see elephants. But unfortunately no jiraffes. Still the trip was excellent.

Into the Countryside - This isn’t Tanzania - you aren’t guaranteed a wide variety of large animals, and we were unlucky with the elephants and giraffes. Did get a good look zebras, antelopes and monkeys. The trip includes a boat tide, a nice lunch, and a stop at the Miradouro for great views reminiscent of Bryce Canyon National Park in the U.S.
Ivone did a super job leading the tour; she speaks six languages and her Englush is superb.

Excellent day out of Luanda tour with Luzaya - Again, a very well organized tour by Luzaya - the park and safari is a nice day out of Luanda, but Luzaya went the extra mile to add on a local river tour, with a local delicious meal, and some additional sightseeing - again, they do their best to listen to their clients needs and build a trip to fulfill their goals...the team is friendly, informative, and it felt like I had a companion, but clearly was also well looked after and with local connections. We saw some interesting animals and experienced nature, and again, i cannot recommend highly enough the Luzaya team if you are looking for a unique Angolan and Luanda experience - including this safari day out

Amazing day trip with an awesome guide! Loved it! - Amazing day out, awesome tour guide (Etson) and some great added extras. We started with the safari and were lucky to see many zebras, kudu, wildebeest, antelope and then one elephant out in the open and the ears of two others through the trees. At the camp where you get the safari vehicle we also saw a lot of monkeys!!! The boat trip was really lovely and the restaurant where we had lunch was super cute. The food was delicious and filling! We then went to the slave museum and our guide was very well informed. Then a quick look at the artisan market and dropped back at Luanda. A highly recommended day trip from Luanda, very well done and very professional. Can't thank you guys enough for such a brilliant day. Go to their website to see if they do any group packages.

Driver too fast - animals awesome - Loved the river boat ride and floating restaurant.
"Safari" was more of a monster truck animal rally. Driver went super fast, we all got torn up by the acacia trees and then the loud brakes scared animals away.
Resort site was beautiful and our overall trip guide was so accommodating!
Would do it again if the Safari driver would go slower and be more mindful of the thorns slicing us up and allow more time to see and take pics of animals.

Varied trip of Luanda surrounding - Trip was a nice experience, although the National park Kissama is not where you can see a lot of animals during the trip like in some other parks in Africa. However, the experience was compensated by a nice boat trip with an excellent lunch and a museum visit.
The tour guide was nice and full of knowledge with a good English.
Definitely it is necessary to improve the pick up process, as it was arranged that we will be picked up at Epic Sana hotel aj 6.00 but we were picked up at 6:40 with no prior call from anybody !!! The beginning was quite a stressfull because of that.

Total disregard for the customer and false advertising! - Total disregard for the customer. False advertising.
My luck was that I would pay in person on the day of the tour, because after spending the whole week calling this company to find out if the tour would go out and when they responded (they were always slow to respond to my messages) they said yes, it would go out. anyway and such.
So I prepared to go during the week and just in the morning, 30 minutes before the trip, the person in charge of the company sent me a message saying that they couldn't take me because there was a problem with their car.
I tried to seek further explanations and did not receive any further response or any subsequent email or message.
I stopped doing other things, I waited all week for the tour and they left me at the last minute!!!
And there was also a problem with the value that was changed. First was the amount of 135 dollars that I didn't pay because I hadn't received any confirmation message from the company (lucky me). So after the company got in touch and said that the tour would go ahead, I went to book again and to my surprise the price had increased to 200 dollars. When I questioned this, they told me it was because my first reservation was for a couple, which didn't make sense and that wasn't the case either. So they recommended I book directly with them via WhatsApp and pay in person. So I withdrew the entire amount in local currency which was a lot of money, I organized myself to go, including paying an extra night at the accommodation where I was staying to be able to go and in the end they canceled it that way.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY.
