amazing and really good organized trip!
We really enjoyed the trip with travel for change. The trip was well organized, we had great accommodations and really loved the places we went to. Patricia helped us a lot by deciding where to go and how to arrange the trip. Her answers were always prompt and with very good informations about the options.
Martine was a great driver with good sense for all the animals. We saw everything we wanted and even a lot more. Everyone was very kind and we didn't have any bad encounter. Thank you so much for a great time in Kenya.

Have good contact with drivers , hotels and the park accommodation. Land cruiser vehicles were good.
The drivers had the thirst to show animals and drive hard way untiringly throughout the packaged tour. It was saluteable and we sighted more animals and the Masai village too. Coordination from TravelforChange was very good for all the different places we visited in my customized tour. Will look forward to contact them for any of my future Africa trips

Excellent, custom made, 7 days private safari in Kenya (Nakuru-Naivasha-Hells Gate-Longonot- Mara)
Patricia organised a fantastic, (very) custom made, 7 day safari for two for us at the end of July.
The camps were the ones I requested and of overall very good quality, the itinerary was followed as agreed, and Francis, our driver and guide, was wonderful - knowledgeable, keen to ensure we saw everything (and we did, even leopards!), and a pleasure to spend time with and talk to about Kenya. He was flexible when needed, and always in a good mood and ready to answer our many questions.
I found the communication with Patricia ahead of the trip great (so prompt and helpful compared to other operators with whom I was discussing in parallel). She was patient in agreeing an itinerary we liked and responded timely. Having researched many safari companies, I thought the offer (accommodation and activities included) was great value.
On choice of camps, I'm sure Patricia could recommend and arrange everything with little effort for clients, but I had very specific requests, which she met brilliantly. Our favourite experience was Wilderness (as it was very small and remote/wild), followed by Basecamp. We enjoyed that by staying at Wilderness we got to experience a Land Cruiser safari and a walking safari in a beautiful conservancy next to Masai Mara included in the package. Crater Lake tented camp (close to Naivasha) was also in a very beautiful setting.
Our itinerary also included a Hell's gate walk and cycle, and a hike up Mount Longonot. They were both organised very smoothly and we felt very safe and taken care of by the local guide the company arranged.
It was a fantastic week and I'd highly recommend Patricia and Francis!

Excellent service made my safari experience a truly memorable one, exceeding my best expectations!!!
From the start Patricia, at the office, was very helpful with suggestions about planning the safari tour with regards to visiting different terrains and landscapes, safety and health issues as well as choice of accommodations and payment issues. Elliot and Johnson gave us a warm welcome on our arrival and made it very easy and straight forward to settle into the tour. Patrick, our personal guide, made the remainder of the tour an exceptional experience! He was always on the alert to see to our comfort and needs both during the long drives and at our accommodations, all of which were of excellent standard! Patrick is so knowledgeable about the abundant wildlife and the country's culture we witnessed on the tour ... it really was a tremendous learning experience!! It was very obvious that Patrick has a passion for wildlife and that he aims at giving his clients his super best!! Patrick is also very patient and stopped on request for the hundreds of photos we took :) He got to know us well enough to suggest places to visit which might interest us, like the elephant orphanage, the giraffe sanctuary and the hand-made bead factory, and he actually got us there on time in spite of the heavy traffic we encountered ...he has excellent driving skills!!
In a nutshell..... the experience by far exceeded my expectations and this is definitely due to the superb service offered by the Travel for Change team ..... they are tops in their line of work and highly trustworthy ...highly recommendable :) They made it an experience of a lifetime!!! thank you

Wonderful safari!
We've just finish our fuor days safari. It was perfect! We've been in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Beautiul landescape and fantastic animals. Our guide, Lewis, was very qualified, and our chef, Prince, prepared for us a lot of good food. He worried about our tastes. We didn't have any problem whit the jeep. All the staff took care of us.
We have been in tent, the equipment was all Ok
We recommend a safari with Travel for Change Africa.

10 star safari
Out of 5 stars, Travel for Change in Africa gets a 10+++. Of the 500 tour operators in Arusha, Tanzania, Travel for Change is the one to work with. My husband and I just returned from an amazing safari and 4-day extension to Zanzibar. Patricia, Silvia, Praise and the entire team delivered the trip of a lifetime. I was impressed with their attentiveness to our wishes and their attention to detail. Everything about the trip was well beyond our expectations, and our expectations were high as I had been to Tanzania before. Patricia did a phenomenal job of planning, Silvia as our primary contact on the ground and Praise as our guide. I appreciated their respect for the animals, cultures, environment and the rules of the Serengeti. The accommodations were some of the finest we've ever experienced, particularly the Kubu Kubu tented camp. Praise took the time to explain what we were seeing and was very knowledgeable about the many bird species, plants and trees, in addition to the mammals that everyone goes to see. The entire team made us feel very special and well cared for. We can't say enough or thank them enough.

Excellent customer service, amazing experience
Patricia and her team did everything possible to give my friend and I a wonderful and unique safari experience. She thought of everything - even small details - and ensured that this once-in-a-lifetime experience will never be forgotten. If you want an affordable (relatively, because safaris are not cheap) experience with a company that will look after you, do not hesitate to go with Travel for Change Africa. I can't thank them enough for the wonderful communication, attention to detail, and the care they have shown throughout my entire journey. Highly recommended, indeed.

They provided a full service safari that was incredibly well organized at an affordable price.
My wife and I just returned from an amazing week long trip to Kenya, that was entirely arranged by Patricia from "Travel For Change". She took care of all the details from air reservations, to arranging our lodging and meals as well as providing us the worlds best guide and driver, Max. Every detail was perfectly attended to, and they receive our very highest recommendation. You are going to be spending A LOT of time with the guide/driver, so this is a very important component of the trip. We couldn't have been happier all around.
