Wonderful Trek to Top of Mt Kenya
Thank you Maggie and all of your team for a fantastic time climbing Mt Kenya
Each of your team members contributed to a wonderful experience.
The Porters were strong and professional. Your chef made some excellent meals, and Muriithi and Kamau were very knowledgeable and supportive guides who made me feel safe and welcome
We also had a lot of laughs as they are all good fun to be with
We definitely recommend Bison Safaris to anybody else looking to climb Mt Kenya or do a safari

We had a wonderful safaritrip to lake Nakuru for 3 days, 2 nights. We spot a lot of annimals.
We had a great time. Communication was very good/fast and also clear by Simon. The safari was more than we expected.
Sammy picked us up at our hotel, at the agreed time. And we went back a couple of hours later, but that was not a problem.
We didn't see many giraffes, but Sammy (our guide) did find some of them, at the end of our trip, very close :)
Cycling through Hells gate was an unforgettable experience!

Meru-adventure
After making the decision to climb Mount Meru, we were searching for a reliable tour company and we came across Godson Adventures as they offered the best price. It was a fantastic choice!
From the owner Godson we got extraordinary service; he met us 1 day prior departure to brief us and drove us to the start point the next day.
Our local guide Alex Lucas was just excellent: knowledgeable, friendly and easy getting along. His focus on health and taking our time really made us feel safe during the climb. I had trouble with altitude symptoms, but our guide was very patient. My boyfriend with Alex made it to the top, but I struggled, so I had to turn back and it was a smart Alex' decision to take an extra guide (assistant) before leaving the hut so that he could keep me safe back down from the mountain in case I need.
Our private 3 days Mount Meru climb was outstanding and very positive. A really memorable experience. Highly recommended!

It was awesome trip n we enjoyed a lot
Our safari with Daily Expeditions Limited was a great decision. Prices comparisons with other operators, the price at Daily Expeditions were much lower but maximum satisfactions and I am sure our service was on par with any other operator. Frank, who helped us organize via email was helpful with all our requests and inquiries right up to the moment we arrived in Moshi. Very flexible, understanding and easy to work with.Our guide Matata was first class and had a plethora of knowledge about the flora and fauna we encountered. He definitely took our experience to another level with his experience and confidence. He also made sure we got to see the Big 5 safari sightings.
The vehicle was reliable and comfortable. The lodges which we stayed were first class as well. ''Highly recommended''

Great team & lot of animals
Bimos travel gave me great quote and itinerary. 2 nights Amboseli National Park, 1 night Lake Nakur and 2 nights Mara National reserve. I had my family along including my dad and mom... We had Allan as our guide. He did a great job and we really hope we will meet him in future. The overall experience was good and the time was spent was worth...Kudos and great job Bimos!

Dreams become reality with Drones!
I have just returned from what I would consider one of, if not, the most spectacular trip I’ve every been on. Who made this possible? Simple answer: Drones Africa Safaris. You see, my dream was to visit the Masai Mara in Kenya as well as Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. Drones Africa Safaris made it happen. After my first communication with Lizzy expressing to her my desires, I knew I had made the right decision. She is cordial, friendly, and attentive to her clients needs. In fact, I never expected to receive a reply back so quickly, but she was on it. Before I knew it, I was booked and ready to go. Our first stop was the Masai Mara. Talk about spectacular! We saw the big five plus much more by day 2. To speak in more detail, We saw 5 cheetahs roaming together trying to find a female, 2 leopards (one resting beside a river and another high up in a tree), 10 or more lions including many males which have giant manes (and even a lion couple mating), ostriches, a rhino, water buffalo, families of elephants, and large families of hippopotami. It is by far my favorite place I visited. I owe this in part to our terrific driver Lorenzo. He would get us as close the animals as one can possible get. I’ll just say he made it possible for us to be one with nature. I can’t thank him enough. Next, I made my way to Tanzania. Our first day was spent in Tarangire, where I had the privilege of seeing the most majestic elephant I’ve ever laid my eyes on. It was as though it was posing for the perfect shot. Besides elephants, I also saw gazelles, zebras, and a couple lions. The following day we moved on to the Serengeti, or shall I say, the mighty Serengeti. The sheer beauty and vastness of the land took my breath away, and of course all the animals we saw that inhabit this amazing place. We saw lions, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, and much more. Our night in the Serengeti (camping) will forever be one of my best memories. To camp in a place with wild animals passing by the tent was a once-and-a-lifetime experience. Our last day was spent in the Ngorongoro Crater. Trying to describe such a fantastic place using words is impossible. To see the animals going about their daily lives against the backdrop of the crater wall is hard to beat. Lastly, I’d like to add that all connections between the destinations were seamless. I was picked up on time every time. The dream trip I have just described would not have been possible without the wonderful people at Drones. I can not recommend them enough. They do not disappoint! In short, you’d be remiss to go with another company.

Wonderful family road trip to South Africa
We booked a trip with Tailor Made Safaris through a travel agent based in Canada.
Positive elements:
- We had excellent service before and during the trip. They always answered our questions quickly.
- We really appreciated getting such a nice book of our upcoming trip.
- The reception at the airport was also flawless.
- We appreciated that they gave us a phone for the duration of the trip.
- The itinerary made us visit a good chunk of the southern part of South Africa (including places that we would not have picked ourselves).
Less positive elements:
- Looking back, the travel agent made us buy the plane ticket first, and then looked for an itinerary and accommodations. In the end, we ended up spending more than we had planned and staying in 1-2 places (out of the 6 where we stayed) that were below our expectations. It would have been preferable for us to reduce the duration of our stay under those circumstances.
- We quickly ran out of airtime for the phone and it would have been appreciated to have been given the opportunity to buy airtime ahead of time.
- The itinerary did not fully consider what would be open and closed around the Christmas holidays. We would have appreciated more guidance on that.
- The itinerary mostly focused on expensive activities and not so much on budget-oriented ones (assuming most people do not have an unlimited budget, especially families with multiple children).
Overall, we really enjoyed our trip to South Africa and are happy to have used the services of Tailor Made Safaris, as it gave us the opportunity to discover wonderful places we probably would never have been if we had designed our own itinerary.

Well organised and enjoyable
Very good service and well organised tour. Loved the gorilla experience and seeing a lot of the country by car. Lots of driving but well worth it. Our guide was very approachable and took care of our needs perfectly. He was knowledgeable and great have as our guide.
