Great guys and very professional service
Home to Africa arranged our safari in Uganda, organized permits for Gorilla and Chimpanzee visits. Everything was impeccably planned and executed. Before and during the trip we always felt perfectly informed and well taken care of. During planning, Elias was highly flexible and created an itinerary tailored to us. Benon was a great tour guide with knowledge about all animals and birds we encountered. He is also a very likable person and we felt very secure with him all the time. We especially valued his punctuality and high standards of professionalism. Thanks again for the wonderful time and we can highly recommend going on a safari with this agency. Not least for the cool gift they extend to you at the end!

We had a super team who professionaly leaded us to the top
Herman leaded our group of 8 persons very professionaly and friendly to the top. Unfortunately 2 of us had to stop because of illness. His personal accompaniment to bring them to the valley was overwhelming and comforting for them and the left over group...
I would recomment Herman to be your enthousiastic, friendly, professional and driven guide!!!!

Extremely good guide and very enjoyable experiences
We took two tours with Maurice. The first was the walking tour of downtown Nairobi that was very interesting. Maurice has a lifetime of local knowledge that he freely shares. We saw the key points of interest and experienced the city up close. We enjoyed Maurice’s company so much that we signed up for a day trip to Nakuru National Park. What a great time we had. Maurice was very very good at spotting animals and our photos were great. He is an articulate, intelligent, kind man who works diligently for his clients. We will definitely contact him again when we return. It is with great confidence that I recommend Like a Local Safaris .

Good, clean, comfortable with an awesome operator
Great landscapes and scenery, a variety of optional excursions, comfy and clean accommodation and quite simply a wonderful driver and tour guide. Shingy was fun, considerate with a fun demeanour, yet staying professional. African Travels' communication was clear and thorough and whenever we had a question they were quick to respond and sorted everything out quickly. They delivered on everything they promise in the "brochure". Thank you guys for a good trip.

Long Drive, but worth the amazing experience!!
My friend and I did a 3 day luxury Safari tour of the Masai Mara Park where I stayed at the Mara Engai lodge. I highly recommend this lodge!! The upside is that the accommodations are impeccable, the service is unmatched, and once you book, it’s full board (includes everything but alcoholic beverages). Our Africa Celebrity guide's name was Muli and he was great! He was really knowledgeable and in-tune when it came to the game drives. The downside to this experience was that it is very deep into the National Park, so its a superrrrrrr long drive from Nairobi (~8 hours). Also, lunch was not included on the way back to Nairobi. The cost of the 3 Day Safari tour was $1,160 for two people. Again, I HIGHLY recommend the Mara Engai Lodge; they also offer additional excursions like ATV bikes through the park, and hot air balloon rides. There are plenty of competing lodges, but none that I found to be quite as nice (with the exception of the Serena hotel) or with as much value for the price. I also opted for a tour of a Masai village at the end of my safari for an additional $30. If you do this, have cash to purchase jewelry made by the Masai people, and to donate to their local village. Overall, this was definitely a highlight of my time in Kenya.

Five Locations - Five Incredible Experiences
Paul and I together planned five very diverse experiences over a 3 week Tanzania safari. First was Arusha in the North and a deep dive into this high paced African city and all of the wonderful diversity of people, cultures and perspectives it holds. There I spent most of my time in the local markets and places not often visited by tourists. Chem Chem was my first deep dive into the bush and Tanzania's amazing wildlife. Here at Chem Chem, the guide, the Maasai warrior companion for walking safari, and the hospitality are simply exceptional. On to Ndutu in the Serengetti with Nomad Safaris, more exceptional guiding and a team with deep respect and care for the wildlife. Here I watched a male Cheetah finish a kill on a Wildebeest and much, much more. Then to Ruaha National Park in the South for its abundant elephant populations, big cats and as elsewhere remarkable bird species diversity. Finally to Chole Island in the Mafia Archipelago where I lived for several a in tree house.
Paul's knowledge of Tanzania, its people, its wildlife and the biodiversity of this beautiful country made this experience possible. Its is hard to imagine a better experience than I had with Paul Tickner Safaris. It doesn't get any better than this. I would give Paul my highest recommendation and my deepest thanks.
