Reliable and responsive
I requested information from 5 tour companies. Edith was the clearest, most prompt and she listened to my request. The plan was confirmed and she prepared me well including details about pickup in Kagali. My driver was safe and diligent but had limited English. I booked Le Bambou Gorilla lodge which was minutes from the park and a very good choice. Since I travelled alone, my driver and I ate together. They were quiet meals, hence 4 stars. Nice property with beautiful views and warm staff. Dennis (manager) and the Chef and staff were great. It was my birthday and Chef made a cake and I received a surprise song and celebration. It was very nice. The guides were superb on the trek. We visited the small Muhoza group and saw the youngest gorilla in the area. They were well habituated and a female literally came down from the canopy right on top of us while we were all attentive to the big silverback. What a surprise! But all was well and the guides handled it well as did we all. I recommend a porter. It was very muddy and cleated hiking shoes were a real liability. The guides and porters use flat rubber boots and they did not slip nearly as much. Gaiters are a must with hiking shoes which you can rent at the assembly area. Bring light rainwear as the weather is changeable. Gloves are useful especially around nettles. The growth is quite dense so be prepared to use some muscles that you forgot existed. Most agreed an iPhone is comparable or better than common cameras, except for ones with fast lenses. Movies capture more of the experience than stills but bring both.

Amazing experience in Serengetti and Ngorongoro
Everything was as planned. The guides are very trustworthy and they hav a great experience in game viewing. It is really incredible how they know the right places to view wild animals. The trucks are big and suitable for safaris. If you choose the option of taking a cook to the safari you will taste wonderful local meal. It has been indeed a great experience. We are planning to come back to Tanzania again with Chanua Africa Safari next summer and visit Selous Park in the south.

Very good! Excellent service. Very professional and service oriented.
This Safari was extremely good and well organized. Viva Safari is super punctual, very service oriented and professional. All the drivers and rangers were very nice and polite, the staff at the two accommodations were also very nice, the food was very good for the location, and we almost saw the big five. We had an unexpected exciting experience when we witnessed a crocodile eat a baby zebra. The driver, Patrick, who took us to Kruger park was very good and we always got to the locations at the right time. My only suggestion would be to give us a few more minutes to buy souvenirs at the park and at the stop on the Canyons, which was actually very beautiful as well, so a few more minutes there would be welcome. Other than that everything was excellent, out three house was fun and very comfortable. The people that we meet at the Safari were very nice as well, it was a wonderful experience!!

A wonderful trip.
We couldn't be more happy with our 6 day camping safari. Romeo organised an itinerary that matched our needs perfectly, responding promptly to enquiries and requests. Every aspect of the trip went according to plan, from our pick up at Arusha to the drop off at Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Donald was extremely well organised and his knowledge and spotting ability allowed us to enjoy the experience to the full. We had excellent views of the three big cats, but the highlight was watching the birth of a wildebeest and seeing it make its first tentative steps just 20 minutes later. As a keen bird watcher, ! was happy to see almost 200 species in the six days.Our camping experience was enhanced by the wonderful cooking of our chef, Dogo, who managed to produce tasty and creative meals on a couple of kerosene stoves. A truly wonderful trip.

I have a nice experience with Gatatu
I have been arranged 1 day gorilla tour by Gatatu.
Because his company is very small I am amazed that it took several days until I received his reply and I cannot find him in his office in the previous day.
But the arrangement was perfect and tour driver was very gentle.
I was able to spend a nice experience thanks to that.

Wonderful holidays and breathtaking Safaris in Uganda with Mamalands Safaris
Communication per E-mail and service were quick and perfekt. All our expectation were full reached. We had an excellent guide and driver,
he has a great knowledge on Birds, Butterflys, spots all the animals around and can give details about their life. The service , fruit and water in the car, breaks to lunch and coffee time was always perfect.
The organisation of the whole trip was perfect and all the lodges and camps were a pleasure to stay in.
The Gorilla tracking and Chim tracking were a particularly beautiful experience.
From us 100% recommendation.

Amazing Safari!!! It was like a dream!! Great company, and amazing staff!
I did the safari with my partner at the beginning of February with this company and it was an amazing experience! We book a group safari, and we were just us :) so everything private :)!! The guide was great, and we had an amazing chef that cooks really good food. The car was in perfect conditions, and all the parks that we have visited were incredible!!
Richard, the owner, always answer your emails really fast, and help you with all the questions that you have.
I really recommend this company.
Thanks so much for such amazing experience!

Just wonderful service and an excellent tour
Africa Zim Travel arranged a great tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe and the Okavango in Botswana at the last minute after we had been let down by another operator.
Their service was first rate, the tour was as per the descriptions and their communication with us was excellent. They helped a great deal in processing our payment at very short notice and even confirmed the accommodations before payment was finalized.
They also liaised with another operator so we could seamlessly continue onto Namibia.
It’s a shame I can’t give them more than five stars. I’d be happy to answer any questions if I’m contacted.

Wonderful Safari, very helpful
Omuhimba safaris was extremely helpful and accommodating. We rented the truck and supplies for our self drive safari, and they were helpful in supplying other things that we said we needed once we checked through the kit. Good quality equipment, friendly people. I would recommend them to anyone looking to do a safari in Namibia. They were very good at communicating as well.
