Simply perfect!
We went on a 7-day safari tour including Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara and we couldn't have asked for more! Esther was really helpful, kind and understanding from the first moment and helped us design our custom trip adjusted to our budget. When you visit Kenya from abroad you are always worried to find an agency you can trust and Estleon Adventures is that and much more: Tony (our driver, guide and now new friend), was perfect from beginning to end. Always with a smile on his face and making jokes, we could notice he was respected and loved by the other guides and lodges stuff. Great knowledge about animals, he gave us many curious facts about them and made the impossible till we were satisfied with what we saw (lions, cheetahs and even leopards). Awesome driving skills even though the road was really bad due to heavy night rain. We are no experts but we have been in several safaris in countries like South Africa and we can say this was by far the best of all: we have no doubts that without Esther and Tony out trip and experience could not have been as incredible and perfect as it was.

Good knowledge of Kenia and very personal and warm communication.
My wife and I made a great trip through Kenya. Emiel and Kennedy had prepared everything to perfection and every day was an experience in itself. We have been to places where there are hardly any tourists and everywhere we are very warmly welcomed by the locals. No shortage of good food ;-)
We visited down town Nairobi with ex-street boys, sailed among the hippos, cycled between the zebras and giraffes, walked around local markets, read books and of course visited the Masai Mara.
Charlie's Travels is definitely recommended if you want to make a trip in Kenya. Next time by train to Mombasa ...

Magnificent service, great planning and execution
It was our 1st time to visit Africa. We chose Pembury Tours and picked Anya as my agent after reading many good reviews. She worked diligently and tirelessly with me to finalize the itinerary after many back and forth emails. She responded promptly each time. She was flexible and provided good advice and exceptional service. Later, eight of my friends decided to join our exciting itinerary, Anya worked tirelessly with everyone to make our trip successful. Once in Africa, Anya stayed in touch for the entire trip, insuring all accomodations and transfers were successful. Her choice of hotels and lodges, and other vendors, were first rate. We all had an unforgettable safari experience and also enjoyed the beauty of Cape Town very much. We highly recommend Anya and Pembury Tours if you want personalized service.

12d safari in Uganda
The trip was excellent. We spent 12 days in Uganda in 4 different areas : Bwindi forest, Queen Elizabeth national park, Kibale park, Murchison Falls park.
Treks in Bwindi and Kigale to see gorillas and chimpanzees up close were incredible. Amazing experience to stand 7 meters from such animals.
The usual way to explore the other parks is in open suv. We saw plenty of elephants, giraffes, hippos, antelopes, warthogs, etc also some lions, a leopard.
A thing to know is that guides are not allowed to leave the road in ugandan parks (as opposed to Kruger park private reserves in South Africa for example) so it can be difficult to see some animals up close (we weren't that lucky with lions for example).
Service from Bushmans safaris was good, everything went smoothly with Kate and Joseph, they were able to change accommodation and program on the spot for example.
I would warmly recommend this trip especially for gorillas and chimpanzees.

Great advice and seamless organisation
Had a superb trip organised by Wayfairer to Tanzania for beach and safari. Cat advised us well, listening to what we wanted to get out of it and making the organisation very easy. Choices were presented with clear understanding of the details not by reading a promotional brochure - our agent had visited all the places we went personally. On the trip, everything was seamlessly organised, and the concierge service before and during the trip was very helpful for trip bookings etc.

Great experience from beginning to end.
I did a three day gorilla tracking out of Kampala and it was very easy to plan. Monica was super helpful and responsive. The actual trip itself was great and my guide, Tyson, was the best! Food and accommodation were amazing and there were no surprises along the way, everything was as I was told it would be. I would definitely recommend them!

The give aways at the end of the trips really meant alot to us.
It was an incredible trip from start to finish. Felix response time is terrific and i can attest to what majority of clients have reviewed. We saw way more than we expected to see and experienced excellent guiding in beautiful camps. We're already considering another trip to Kenya next year and we will definately go with Marhaba Holidays
