Affordable custom safari trip
We went on a wonderful 16 day safari with eTrip in Kenya.
My husband and I picked eTrip because we could choose exactly what we wanted to do for an affordable price. We changed our minds several times before embarking on the trip as to which parks we wanted to visit and for how long, but Aurelie was extremely patient and took time to answer any questions that we had. We also appreciated the many (with each change!) break down trip cost attachments that she sent.
For each park we wanted to visit a preferred lodge to suit our budget was suggested but we certainly did not need to stay in that lodge if we didn't want to. Most of the time we did stay in their suggested lodges and we were more than happy with their choices.
As our trip was a long one, we were a little worried about spending so much time with one tour guide/driver, especially as we had never done a non-independent trip like this before. We needn't have worried - our driver David was knowledgable, patient and, most importantly, a lot of fun! Not only did we learn a lot about the animals we were seeing but we also learnt a lot about Kenya and its people.
The land cruiser we traveled in was very comfortable and we always felt safe. Overall we had a wonderful experience and can whole-heartedly recommend eTrip.

Fantastic Experience
Our Christmas safari was booked through Yellow Zebra. Richard from Maasai Wanderings was our guide who picked us up at Kili Villas the day after we arrived in Africa. Richard was polite, knowledgeable, entertaining, punctual and an excellent driver. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with him.

A peaceful lake with great wildlife just a couple of ours from Addis Ababa.
In the early morning the lake is at its very best. Golden light floods across the water from the hills to the East and the sky and shore line are filled with birds. Fishermen can be seen in their canoes or casting nets while standing waist deep in the water.
Situated about 160km south of Addis Ababa Lake Ziway, one of the Rift Valley lakes, is reached in around two hours by car or three by public bus. It’s a popular destination both for tourists and Ethiopians escaping the city for a few days.
The lake’s major town is called Ziway (also referred to as Zway or Batu) and is the best place to access the lake. With its wide, dusty streets, shops, restaurants and market stalls the town is a pleasant place for a stroll in the late afternoon or use the local transport which comes in the form of taxi, tuk-tuk or horse drawn cart.
Boats to access the lake can easily be rented from the hotels that line the shore or from a community run operation near the centre of town.
A typical boat trip will include time at Bird Island, as well as a cruise along the shore line to try and spot hippos in the shallows. Early morning or late afternoon is probably the best time to take to the water.
Ziway has a range of hotels to suit all budgets almost all of them with direct access to the lake and grounds that are full of birds throughout the day.

Can't wait to go AGAIN!
We loved Uganda ... we were picked up from our hotel in Kigali and seamlessly transferred into Uganda. Obviously the Gorilla trekking was by far the most amazing thing. But we were lucky enough to see the Green-Breasted Pitta, a Leopard, etc etc. The people in Uganda are just terrific and Xerox might be the best breakfast food/snack ever. The only downside was the A/C (and therefore the comfort) of the vehicle - specially because the roads in Uganda are probably the worst among the 65+ countries I have been to.
My advice is to get online - and book your adventure to Uganda NOW.

We did the best 5-days safari-trip with jocky tour.
This year I came to Africa for the first time and We did the best 5-days safari-trip with Jocky tour. The safari was great, we have seen so many animals i mean all 5 big and others. Our guide Isaac was the best, he was fun and very experienced and did everything to make some good memories for us! The Camp where we stayed was very cool and especially for the night to feel safe! Everything was like 5 star hotel. Totally recommended.

An amazing experience, without fault!
Our group of 8 people went on a 9 day safari at the end of January 2019. Wow! What an experience! From first contact to being dropped off at the airport, Natural World Kenya Safaris were simply brilliant. They answered all our questions quickly, and the booking process was simple. Payment through Pesapal was also simple.
The safari itself was just an amazing experience. The accommodations was excellent, the food was excellent, and this was all on the economy option. We had two jeeps and two guides which was definitely the right choice, It would have been no fun with 8 of us in one jeep. The sightings of the wild animals was beyond what we imagined. Our guides/drivers (George and Sisto) were fun, informative, and made sure we were in the right place at the right time to get some amazing sights. Quite simply we could not find fault with anything. If you have the chance the to go on Safari, then do it, and seriously consider going with Natural World, it was an experience worth every penny!

DO BOOK a UGANDA/Rwanda visit with Kenneth at ADYERI for an amazing personalized safari adventure.
We just returned from an amazing African safari trip in Uganda. Kenneth at Adyeri provided extremely helpful information in the planning and execution of a safari in Uganda. Initially, I was only interested in the gorilla tracking. I am so grateful Kenneth helped plan each stop of our 9 day trip from a fun Entebbe stay at Lake Victoria beach, to Kibale chimp tracking, to Queen Elizabeth Park with fantastic African Savannah AND river animals, then on to gorilla tracking in Bwindi. Kenneth totally encouraged us to try Bwindi, even though we are seniors. Gorilla habituation worked great and we also had an excellent driver-guide, Brian, who cared for us every step of the way. We SO enjoyed the friendly people of Uganda and their willingness to share their culture. It was a bonus for us that most Ugandans speak English and many establishments were willing to take US dollars. Over all, we enjoyed a fabulous adventure in Uganda-- totally due to Kenneth's help with planning and completion of the journey. Adyeri was very reasonably priced, especially considering the amount of personal attention we received.
KUDOS and THANKS to Kenneth!!!
