Well-organised and extemely enjoyable safari!
Shemeji were at all times extremely helpful in planning our safari trip. Our guide, Benny, was excellent; exceedingly knowledgeable, friendly, patient and we really felt he took us to the best places to see the animals away from the other safari trucks. The camps all worked really well and we enjoyed the variety and changing scenery of the trip. We couldn’t recommend Shemeji more for anyone looking to go on safari. They were excellent in every possible way.

Well organised and memorable trip
My experience of dealing with Dan right from the first email to the end of our trip was totally first class. The suggestions we got for the trip and the accommodation chosen for us couldn't be better. Overall we had a fantastic and a memorable time.
In order to find room for improvement it would have been probably helpful for Dan to have met the driver to assess customer service abilities. Overall the driver was very good, punctual, hard working and very knowledgeable however when it comes to dealing with clients there is a certain cultural element involved in communication which may be seen as condescending for London residents but probably Ok in other places. Again nothing wrong with the driver per se but would expect the tour organiser to make that assessment prior to appointing the driver.
One other point was the lack of the night headlamp light for the night time game drive. Given we started to feel a bit bad for the animals having intruded into their lives overall missing the night game drive was probably OK however from an organisational point of view the hotel where we stayed should have done a better job of maintaining a spare night lamp. This is probably more down to the hotel and not so much for Transtrek but part of the overall experience nonetheless.
In conclusion, I would not hesitate in recommending Transtrek Safaris to anyone since we had a great time and we felt we had a very well organised and enjoyable time for a good price.

Perfect 5 Day Kenyan Safari
From the very first communication with Anne, Amazing Memories was very responsive, flexible, and understood exactly what we were looking for. Anne was extremely patient with our numerous requests to modify the itinerary in different ways, our dietary restrictions, and a ton of other questions we had about payment and other things.
Our driver and guide, Kennedy, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and very pleasant to be around (which is crucial if you are going to spend multiple days together like we did). He suggested various tweaks to the schedule as we progressed based on circumstance, and all were on point and appreciated. The lodges where we stayed were excellent - we spent one night in the Flamingo Hill tented camp at Lake Nakuru and then 3 nights at Mara Sopa lodge near Masai Mara. Both were very upscale accommodations, with great food and helpful staff, and well integrated into the surroundings. Our game drives were exciting and we saw an endless stream of wildlife, punctuated by an early morning hot air balloon ride to observe the Great Migration from above. We were completely satisfied by Amazing Memories and would recommend them to anyone visiting East Africa.

Two-week wonderful trip in Kenya
Contacting with several operators for this safari, the price Aardwolf offered was not the best one (with the same level hotels/lodges/tents). I selected this operator because the communication was efficient and Esther provided me some useful information such as transportation. However, I was a little disappointed on the selection of the accommodation except those we requested, as some of them were unknown and few people visited. For example, the Soi Lodge near the Lake Baringo was selected for us, which is far away from both our destinations of Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria. The only reason is of high profit I guess. But you know, the most important thing to do safari is not the money but the guide/driver. We should thank Aardwolf to give us a great driver, Mr. John Kabuga. We were so lucky to have John with us, who is professional, experienced and qualified. He was born in Kenya but has blue eyes, which makes him special and gives him a good vision like Masai people. He is good at finding animals and told us a lot of stories about Kenya. In a conclusion, this trip was not executed in perfect detail but what we experienced makes it unforgettable on both good and bad points. A good driver will leave you a better memory.
All aspects of our dealings with Martz Safaris were good. We found them friendly and helpful.
My brother and I were on a self drive trip through Rwanda and up into Uganda. Unexpectedly, we had to hand back our Rwandan vehicle at the border. At late notice, Martz Safaris drove down from Kampala to meet us at the border with another vehicle. We were then able to continue our trip through Uganda. For the next eight days the vehicle performed well and gave us no cause for concern. Without their prompt service and help, our trip through Uganda could well have been a very different story

Simply perfect - southern Tanzania
We visited many countries in Africa and were in northern Tanzania 13 years ago. This safari was simply great and so it was obvious to us to explore southern Tanzania as well, followed by a few days on Zanzibar.
The planning of this tour with Roho Ya Chui was highly professional and always a pleasure, as a lot of experience and valuable information from Ute Sonnenberg have designed our safari perfectly.
The southern circuit of Tanzania was beautiful and perfectly organized by Roho Ya Chui – it doesn’t get any better, summa cum laude! If you want to see the South: Dar es Salaam is not an African gem but still worth a glance. From Dar SAL (Safari Air Link) flies with Cessna 208 to Mikumi, Ruaha and Selous.
All three parks are absolutely worth seeing but different, you stay comfortable in best furnished Lodges of Fox Group. Ruaha, however, was our surprise: an extraordinary national park, quite different from many others, which we have already visited. Many elephants, hippos, impalas, lions... all in front of grandiose scenery. We will certainly return to this amazing place. If you are looking for a small and quiet top hotel on Zanzibar – we recommend to ask Ute Sonnenberg also.
Our next trips to Africa we will plan with Roho Ya Chui again! Thanks again and see you soon.

Great Kenya safari
African wildbreaks safaris is the best to me being a local tourist I can tell what is best. Our Masai Mara tour was made memorable with the help of Charles. I highly recommend.

We had a great safari and really enjoyed our 6 day trip
Our Safari was a once in a lifetime experience! We hat 6 wonderful days together with a nice Group, a very friendly cook and an awesome Driver (Shabani!). The communication with John before, during and after the Safari was always perfect. We can only recommend this great experience to everyone. The only negative Points were the bit older tents & sleeping bags, our Toyota Landcruiser was good but I guess it had some engine Problems (was very weak uphill).
