It was very well organized. I got to see everything I wanted and highly recommend!
The communication was fantastic and proactive and the trip was well planned and enjoyable. In fact, I had trouble with me luggage at the airport and while I ended up getting my bags in time, they had a contingency plan to have them delivered if they arrived (even) later.... which I appreciated. It's that level of customer service that made the trip even more enjoyable.

Hakuna Matata - no worries when working with Ben and colleagues and our awesome driver, Eli.
We chose E-trip from other very highly reviewed companies because of their quick, professional response. Ben and co. had specific information available in response to all of our questions - they had been to each location and could speak from personal experience.
All of our accomodations were beyond our expectations - we were very well taken care of. Our driver and guide, Eli, was an expert at finding, identifying and elaborating on animals in the parks. He accommodated any request we had without hesitation. We would do it all again!

Perfect tour operator
We booked two weeks customized privat safari in Kenya and Nairobi. Planning the tour was done within 1 week and everything was perfect, at least for the Kenya part. Unfortunately their partner in Tansania was not good at all (see SandLand Tours reviews), but Absolute Holidays Safari did a very good job. all three shuttle services as planned. David was allways there for questions. If you plan only safari in Kenya, this is the perfect one to ask. If you plan to include Tansania, checked first that the partner is not SandLand Tours. We have advised David to look for a more reliable partner in Tansania. SandLand Tours tried to get more money from us by saying one park fee (300$) was not included and we have to pay. Absolute Holiday Safari gave us back the money within 1 day when they heard the story. David met us on the Airport when arriving and also when coming back to Kenya to get a feedback from us about the tour. There is absolutely nothing to complain about them, except that their partner in Tansania should be kicked in the ass.

Compass Safari showed us the way!
We spent 5 days with Compass Safari in the week before Xmas. Leaving from Arusha, the first day was at Lake Manjara, the second and third day in the Serengeti and the 4th day in the Ngorongoro Crater. The 5th day was the trip back to Arusha.
All I can say is that this trip has been mind-blowing and that our guide of Compass Safari was the catalyst that made everything perfect. He drove us to mating lions, running rhino's, leopards in the trees, hippos play fighting and crocs sunbathing in the water, 7 lion cubs with two mothers, birds, birds and even more birds... Sim-cards with internet where provided, and a tsetse-fly-killing device was also at hand (electrical zapping racket). Explanations of the habits of the animals and how all the birds were called in English and in Swahili were given. We got the see the big 5. The food and hotels were what we expected and this had been well communicated by Compass. All in all I think that Compass Safari is a very professional Safari company that I would like to recommend to people who want a personalized Safari Experience in Tanzania.
Thank you so Much Compass Safari, Estevan

Best experience of our lives
For university we fly to Tanzania to volunteer at a school. Due to school not returning until the 8th we contacted Wutu safari who assisted us to plan our trip until we got to the school. We had a 2 day safari, hotel for 2 nights and food as well as travel. As our first time in the country we were apprehensive but Majenda and Amani made sure we were well looked after. It is a definite trip to make, we learnt so much and started Tanzania on a high!

Well prepared tour. Excellent guide and good communication throughout the trip. Highly customer oriented. The cooperation between Adventure Safaris and the lodge management as well as the park guides worked perfectly well. Adventure Safaris made this trip a unique experience.

Awesome!!!!!
The staff were very nice from the beginning. They answered all the questions we had before we joined the 3 days Murchison falls safari tour. During our tour, our driver and tour guide was a great person. Our tour turned so much fun because of him. We are sure to go to other safari tours with them again.

Our family vacation in Africa was a dream come true thanks to our booking with Spirit of Kenya.
My daugter Michelle chose and planned our fabulous family Safari vacation with Spirit of Kenya. They offered helpful suggestions and prompt responses to all emails. Start to finish, our trip was a dream come true! From the time our plane landed in Nairobi until we were dropped off for our return to the United States we received impeccable care! One of the great things about Spirit of Kenya is they give you 6-8 different lodges in each location so you can look online and choose which best fits your needs. We were very pleased with each lodge and extremely pleased with our driver, David. There were 7 of us (3 adults and 4 teenagers) plus David in our Land Rover with a pop up top. We rode comfortably despite the long drives and bumpy roads. I definitely highly recommend Spirit of Kenya for your Safari vacation. If you contact them for information or a bid you will probably get a response within 24 hours. Loved Spirit of Kenya!!
