Could not be better
There is nothing I can say negative about the service provided to us on our tour to see chimps and gorillas. Alex , your guide was a perfect host to the nation of Uganda. He was on time or should I say ahead of time to pick us in Jinja since he knew that that getting thru Kampala was better the earlier the better. Alex is a bird expert and even though I don't have a lot of interest in birds, I do know. The lodges we stayed at were wonderful. One word of caution. Anyone with moderate health problems might find the walks to the cabins a challenge but then again these people should not be trekking.

A Lost World
I was on safari for a week, and visited Arusha NP, Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP and Tarangire NP. I went to Ngorongoro after visiting Serengeti, but my first sighting was driving around the crater on my way to Serengeti. To say it was a breathtaking drive would be an understatement, the drive only served to heighten my anticipation. Returning to Ngorongoro did not disappoint. The crater rim is beautifully lush and green and has a surprising variety of animals. The drive in and out of the crater is stunning (different roads for each) and arriving at the base of the crater, it feels like you've descended into another world. There are animals everywhere. Lions, hyenas, zebra, wildebeest, elephants, and we even saw a rhino. The best way I can think of describing it is to cross Serengeti NP with Jurassic Park: The Lost World. It truly feels like you're going back to a time. If you're going to Tanzania, do no miss Ngorongoro.

A beautiful, hospitable country with vibrant, friendly people and a dazzling array of wildlife.
Tanzania is a place I would love to visit again and would recommend to my friends and family.
The weather was perfect, never humid and only a sweater required for the evenings. Accommodations were clean and well furnished. We were always greeted with hot towels and fresh juice at each new lodging. The food very fresh and delicious. We were a group of Nature Journalists and were guided by Hamadi Ningaa of Face of Africa Adventures. Our guides were expert in their wildlife knowledge and showed the highest level of professionalism and care during our Safari Adventure. Our experience was moving, delightful and educational and for many, the trip of a lifetime. Asante sanato the Face of Africa Adventures team.

Review about Tanzania by Dev
Tanzania is without a doubt one of the most amazing countries I have been to, there was nothing I didn't love about it. Stop thinking about it, go to Tanzania.
Friendly and Professional.
We had a wonderful time in South Africa thanks to Kruger Park Travel and especially the amazing Kylie. She co-ordinated internal flights, accommodation, pick ups and safari tours for us and the whole trip went off without any problems at all. Kylie did it all in a friendly and professional manner. I would highly recommend this organisation.

Grand safari adventure
Overall we were very happy with our family vacation with Home to Africa tours and travel. It was planned according to our wishes and we saw, experienced and tasted more than we had ever hoped for (thank you for the unexpected, fantastic birthday and graduation cakes!). The parks, treckings, animals, people, markets, scenery, food and experiences were all wonderful, not to mention the rafting. The lodgings were at times a bit simpler than we'd hoped for but worked out for us anyway.
Our guide was very knowledgeable regardless whether it came to animals, history, agriculture, nature, politics, really anything. Unfortunately he was short tempered with little patience and at times put a damper on the atmosphere.
All in all we are very happy with our trip to Uganda and have managed to raise a lot of interest from friends and colleagues.

Superb service, amazing Kenya
We are a family with a child of 11 and travelled in Kenya with Wildlife Sun Safaris for 14 days at the end of June. Although it is a low season, the weather was sunny without rains, very pleasant. The tour was very busy. Nairobi - Masai Mara - Naivasha - Nakuru - Bogoria - Nairobi - Amboseli - Tsavo West - Tsavo East - Diani Beach - Nairobi. We made our tour plan by ourselves based on the example tours at their website. James was prompt to reply to all our emails and the price for the tour was quite reasonable. He personally met us at the airport, in the middle of our trip, and before departure. He organized the tour very well. Our personal driver – Toya - was always polite, precise, and executed the itinerary with no faults. We had a 4x4 Toyota minivan. It is OK on good road and off-road. However, there are some roads under construction. Especially, if you go to Masai Mara you have to drive about 1.5 hour on washboard road. Here we wished we had a heavy Landcruiser. It is more comfortable, but more expensive too. This was our choice. We had an excellent journey and Kenya is really amazing. Don't hesitate to take children with you. It is a safe and comfortable country for the tourists. I was surprised to see no insects. Leisure at Diani beach was the right thing after 10-days safari. Get ready to meet many local people that sell things at beach. Swimming in the ocean is a challenge. We had everything we wanted in this tour. And it was gracefully done by Wildlife Sun Safaris. Many thanks to James and Toya.

Tailored to each client's needs and wants like they read your mind
Mr Kennedy is available 24/7..he responds to emails immediately. He helped and guided us very well. Mara Sopa was just beautiful and was beyond our expectations. Since went during the peak season we saw all the big five..saw lioness with her cubs and Cheetahs eating their catch and masai River crossing was epic and was worth the 1hr wait. Our driver Joseph was the best. It was a lifetime experience for us and a game meat at carnivore is must on ur way back in Nairobi.

Awesome experience
Duncan was a great guide. He knew exactly where to be and when to be there. We only had one morning to see some animals because of our schedule and we saw so many in just a few hours. His knowledge of the area and animals was tremendous. I highly recommend using him for your safari and tour. Thank you for a great experience.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
We were met at the airport when we arrived in Victoria Falls and the one on one attention and hospitality never stopped from there. Our schedule was really busy and we ended up making a few changes here and there at the last minute and Patrick made every accommodation necessary without any problems. Our guide to the falls, Polite, was amazing and so knowledgeable about everything. We felt we were given such a better and in depth tour than others around us with their guides. A trip to the local village in Zambia with Esau was great and well worth it. Knowing that every time we had an outing and that Patrick was there to see us off and make sure the driver was briefed and transfers, tickets or anything else was taken care of was really nice. It made the trip so personalized and different that the other tours offered. We would recommend Jibha and do it all over again in a heartbeat!
