Low cost, excellent value
My girlfriend and I booked with Meru Slopes. They were the cheapest option, with the better reviews. They organised everything for us. They include pick ups and drop offs from Arusha or Kilimanjaro airport within the cost. We got a hotel stay before and after the safari. Rooms were great.
Safari - On time for pick up. Driver/guide is cautious on the rough roads, so always felt safe. Tents the same as every other tour company around. Food was excellent!! Guide was not the most knowledgeable, but there were some books to look through, and did well spotting things. No real complaints. Meru gave a gift also after the tour. If you are planning on doing this trip, and want to do it by tent, then I see no reason for not using Meru Slopes, as why pay more for the same (or worse) service.

Makasa managed to organize an unforgettable vacation for us
Pleasant and personal communication
Flexible to our wishes.
Well organized safari with pleasant, reliable guide with al lot of knowledge
Beautiful lodges in beautiful locations.
It was nice that, thanks to Makasa's selection of small-scale lodges in close cooperation with local people and local projects, we could return something for the population.

An amazing trip in Namibia
We have just returned from an unforgettable trip to Namibia. Nature Travel prepared us a perfect trip in record time. Everything has been flawless. The country is a wonder for the senses: spectacular sunsets, changes of light, birds singing, wild animals .... We travel from the wonderful Namib desert, Swakopmund with its coast, the wonderful park of Etosha with its incredible fauna , The Okavango Delta with its impressive flow of water, ending at Victoria Falls. Nature travel provided us with Lodge and camps each with a special charm, to highlight the Namib Desert Lodge in the Namib Desert and the Mushara Lodge in Etosha. We also had a luxury guide, Lucky Gaoeb, who taught us his beloved country with extraordinary dedication and affection.
Undoubtedly Namibia deserves at least one visit and Nature Travel made our trip extraordinary.

Great customer service and amazing safari experience
I have to point out that generally I do not write online reviews. However, I really found other people’s reviews about Uniglobe Let’s Go Travel very useful in helping me decide to contact them, so I figured it is not too late to help future travelers with a review of my own.
First of all, I like to thank Angela Githatu from Uniglobe for helping me plan an amazing trip. After doing a lot of research and reading reviews, I decided to contact Uniglobe, among other agencies, to get a quote for my trip to Kenya. I received a quote within a couple of days. The personalized quote was very detailed and included all the information I originally requested. After reviewing the quote, I had more questions. Angela very promptly replied to my emails, and that really helped in fine tuning the details of the trip in a very short period of time. Before making the payment for the package, I called Angela to ask her even more questions and requested that she walked me through the purchase process. She was available during office hours and was very attentive in answering my questions. In case you are wondering, I bought an international calling card to be able to speak with her directly. Angela helped me plan everything, from local air and ground transportation to securing my place in the safari. I did 4 days in Masai Mara (at Ilkeliani Camp), 1 day at Lake Nakuru (at Sopa Lodge) and 2 days in Nairobi. My safari experience at Ilkeliani camp was amazing, from the food, to the friendliness of the staff and the game drives with the awesome safari guides (John Mark and Eric).
When we arrived to Kenya (group of 4 adults), a Uniglobe representative was already waiting for us. She called the driver and he took us to a city hotel for an overnight stay. The next morning, James, our second driver, picked us in the morning to take us to Wilson airport. James was very friendly and courteous. Once at Mara, we spent 3 nights in our camp before Jimmy, our third driver, drove us to Lake Nakuru. We did two game drives at Lake Nakuru before driving back to our hotel in Nairobi. Jimmy was very friendly, very easy to talk to, and knew a good deal of information about the animals we were spotting. On our departure day, a fourth driver, picked us timely at the hotel and drove us to the airport. All of this ground transportation was arranged by Uniglobe and was arranged based on our itinerary preferences. Having local and knowledgeable drivers makes all the difference. Trust me, you need a local to be able to navigate through the traffic. Thank you all!
I was extremely pleased with the great customer service offered by Angela. I even recommended to my friends to finish their travel arrangements with Angela, and once again Angela delivered. Even during our stay she was very helpful. We had some issues with the departure time for our return flight that required modifying our itinerary. We called Angela to her office in the middle of our trip and she was able to make the necessary arrangements for us. In addition, we were traveling on a budget and we did not wanted to sacrifice certain elements of our trip (we wanted a specific camp/safari dates) and Angela/Uniglobe Let’s Go Travel made it possible for us to have an amazing experience for a reasonable price. Thank you!

A perfect trip!
We booked through Tammy at Pembury Tours. We found her on SafariBookings.com. A perfect experience. Everything from the accommodation, to the drivers, to the variety in our Safaris, to keeping in with our budget, to getting refunds for tours not available due to weather, Tammy was amazing. Our experience in South Africa could not be more perfect. We stayed in Capetown and then flew to Houdspriet for the Safaris. The rangers on our Safari's were amazing and we could not believe the animals. The weather was perfect for our liking (not too hot) and we enjoyed every minute of our vacation. Thank you Tammy at Pembury and SafariBooking.com!

Memorable Gorilla trekking in Uganda
Nicholas worked with us to help to get our tour just right. We were going to start in Kigali, but we wanted to go to Uganda to see the gorillas since it was more affordable than Rwanda. Rogers picked us up at our hotel as planned and he was a fantastic guide and driver. The countryside of Rwanda and Uganda is beautiful. We got withing about 5 feet of several gorillas. The family that we visited had 2 Silverbacks. The following day, we went to Volcanoes Park in Rwanda to see golden monkeys. Lodging and food was first class. We had a fantastic trip. I have already recommended ATA and Nicholas to friends in Kigali If you get a chance to go gorilla trekking - do it!

Great Experience!
Paul was wonderful in his communication with us. He was flexible with us throughout and ensure we had everything we needed. The vehicle was wonderful for self-drive safari! Highly recommended! Uganda is a beautiful country and we highly recommend 4x4 Uganda for car rental needs.
