Fantastic experience
We went on a one night Masai Mara trip. It was an amazing experience. We had a nice group of people coming with us, and a great driver. The lunch on the way was nice. We got to our accommodation which had lovely staff. Then the drive around the safari was such a fantastic experience- with only 3 hours we saw all the animals. The driver was very attentive and explained everything to us and made sure we don’t leave the safari before seeing all the main animals. It was super fun experience and I recommend !

A lifetime experience
Could definitely say me and my husband had a lifetime experience with Hermosa Life Tours and Travel for 10 days. Should say I am quite demanding and picky on details person but from the first email it was a pleasure to have a deal with Hermosa. All responses were informative, quick, changes adopted to the itinerary without any mistakes, solutions were needed proposed or explanations how to improve it given. The team looked professional. Although I still impatiently waited for our meeting day as sometimes communication through emails goes well but in live the experience disappoints you. Glad that this was not the case. Our driver/guide and actually a friend after all this time spend together in Rwanda Abou turned to be an amazing person. He was very polite, helpful, informative (my husband even made a joke that by leaving Rwanda it seems like we know about the country more than about our homeland), always asking for the feedback about tours, hotels, food, if everything went well. You could definitely start to feel like you visiting a friend in Rwanda who wants to show the best of his country. Moreover I could say it was interesting to have discussions on different topics with him and even learn some things from this man. If knowledge is a treasure of a wise man than Abou is a rich man. Finally, we were also surprised by the country, how clean and safe it is, by some actions taken by government and people that could be an example for the rest of the world. It is not the first country we have been in Africa so I was quite shocked as Rwanda really looks and feels different in a good way. Anyway highly recommend Hermosa Life Tours and Travel and if you want the best of it ask for Abou :).

The big five with professionals
We spent 4 wonderful days on safari. Everything was perfectly prepared, in accordance with our arrangements. Josephine is very communicative and professional in what she does. Solid and unobtrusive. We had a great guide with whom we felt safe and could see everything we dreamed of. We will definitely come back.

Tanzania, the great migration and Big 5 ✅
Top of my bucket wish list was to follow the great migration, particularly the Mara River crossing, and seeing the big 5 in the wild.
My son and I recently returned from Tanzania after being guided by Solomon from Zohar African Safaris. Solomon certainly knows his trade, and he answered the many questions fired at him with detail and authority. He is Incredibly knowledgeable not just about all wildlife animals, but also on birds and trees. Solo is clearly a huge lover of the great outdoors, particularly anything around wildlife.
Our personalised agenda took us from a fantastic day in Tarangire National Park, up through Central to North Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. There were too many extra special awesome memories to list, but include very close encounters with adult and baby lions, mother & baby cheetahs (including the mother jumping on our jeep for a better viewpoint), elephants protecting babies, giraffes fighting, wildebeest, zebras & buffalo galore. It was more challenging finding leopards and black Rhino, but Solomon didn't disappoint with two sightings of leopard including one with babies, just a beautiful sight to behold, and several Black Rhino sightings in Ngorongoro Crater. It was such a great pleasure learning from Solomon and generally getting to know him as a person, whom we now consider to be our friend. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Zohar African Safaris to anyone, safari novices like us or seasoned regulars.
We successfully achieved our mission, seeing several spectacular Mara River crossings and the big 5, I really couldn't ask or wish for more.
Zohar also worked into our incredible 7 day itinerary an early morning hot air balloon experience, which was simply stunning and an absolute must-do on your itinerary.
Our sincerest thanks to Lilian for putting together a totally bespoke and very personalised itinerary, including the 6 different camps/lodges, each offering something very unique but always with warm welcomes from such happy friendly porters, staff & chefs, pretty much faultless in my humble opinion. The overall experience far exceeded our hopes and expectations, and particularly Solomon the legend, we will be back for another safari with Zohar soon.

Exceptional
What an extraordinary experience. We were cut off from the world and civilization for 5 days to discover the animals in their environment. It was incredible. We saw a great diversity of animals. Easy Travel and our guide Maila were extraordinary and accompanied us very well throughout the stay.

Incredible guide and team on Kilimanjaro
We had an incredible time with African Big Cats Safari in Tanzania! We did a 7 day Kilimanjaro Trek and then a 6 day safari. Imran and his team (our Kilimanjaro guide and crew) particularly impressed us, as they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and very well taken care of. We felt like we were all good friends by the end of the trip, and the team took the time to patiently teach us some Swahili. Isaiah, our "waiter" and Elias, our assistant guide, were incredible kind and attentive to us. Our chef, Tosh, was incredible and even accommodated my gluten-free diet, we were always surprised by how much food we were served and how creative they could be on the mountain! The team worked so well together and was always so cheerful to interact with- we could not have made it to the top without them!
We also had a great time on our safari- we saw all the animals we were hoping to see and even lucked out by seeing the great migration in Northern Serengeti. The accommodations were all comfortable, we particularly enjoyed Embalakai Tented Lodge in the Central Serengeti, where you can sit on your private porch and look for animals. All interactions with the office for African Big Cats Safari were great, they were very responsive to emails during the planning process and answered all of our questions promptly.

extremely professional and attentive
First of all, I wanted to thank Wild Media Safari for this unforgettable trip. Everything was perfect. The agency listened to our every wish and prepared a tailor-made trip for you. And all this for a reasonable price! And I would add a special mention for our guide Cornel, who introduced us to his region and his passion with good heart and professionalism. I recommend 100%!

The organization was perfect by Maureen, thank you, for keeping your eye on all of our wishes.
Camps, foods, safari and vacation at Diani beach was fantastic.
Thank you for the best driver John, who was fantastic guide, showed us every beautiful place, animal and event during the safari.
Thanks for the interesting discussions and beautiful stories.
It was my birthday present from my husband, because my childhood dream was to go to Kenya, to see these conservatories.
You took this dream unforgettable and wonderful.

It was extremely reliable, flexible, and able to fulfill our desires to have a unique experience
Both John and his wife have been extraordinary. Besides being extremely reliable, they have shown a lot of flexibility, and have been able to accommodate our needs, therefore tailoring the activities to what we really wanted to see an experience. They have been negotiating with the lodges and hotels, and have shown to be there for us when needed. The places visited have been unique, and the drivers who accompanied us extremely experienced. I really recommend Ways of Africa to anyone wanting to do a safari in Kenya.
