EA is Just superb; a wonderful mix of the personal and the professional.
Again, the EA team has delivered to us a series of unique experiences in East Africa - such that it already has us looking to go back again via Jono, Danica and the EA team. This recent trip certainly matched our wonderful first EA experience of 2012!
The depth of personal knowledge at EA, the wonderfully engaging approach and the series of regular 'check ins' ensured we were well prepared for our month long visit. The trip itself, across three countries and four distant and diverse locations absolutely exceeded our expectations. The shared understanding of what we wanted out of this trip combined with their understanding of us as a couple laid a great platform from which we saw that EA knowledge and experience used to best effect.
This second wonderful trip with EA to southern Africa will see us return there in a couple of years and we'll just head straight back to Encompass Africa!

Most reliable driver on Zanzibar with great network of captains, etc
Bakari is by far the most reliable driver on Zanzibar we came across during our two week stay on the island. He communicates very reliably, thinks ahead in case of traffic jams / road blocks etc and has a great network of captains, etc for tours. We did more than 5 trips with Bakari and went on a Dolphin Safari in Kimurimuri which was by far our most memorable experience on the island. We would always recommend Bakari again.

Very reliable and profesional.
We booked a safari to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. The communication was very good, we got all the details we asked for. The accommodation was in a nice quiet lodge with a swimming pool just perfect for late afternoon after a long game drive. The driver/guide was very helpful, he did his best to show us the most interesting places and animals.
In total, it was a lovely experience that I would recommend to anyone.

Absolutely exceeded my expectations by an order of magnitude!
From start to finish this was an outstanding safari. Accommodations in the parks arranged by eTrip Africa were excellent, especially considering all were off the power grid. Our guides, David & Atilla were absolutely outstanding, exceptional subject matter experts, passionate about their nation, its parks, and the wildlife within, and just great guys to hang out with for 10 days. This was truly a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experience made all the better by eTrip’s attention to detail and flawless execution.

Priceless, once in a lifetime experience
We had an itinerary tailored to our needs and to the time of year we were travelling (9-21 December 2018). Leadwood Expeditions did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job in ensuring our experience was full of awesome memories and exciting wildlife sightings. We travelled through Tanzania and Kenya over 10 nights and honestly, could not recommend this company highly enough. Our first driver and guide, Robby, was the most enthusiastic, genuine and dedicated person - better than anything we could have ever imagined. Robby worked incredibly hard to ensure we got the most out of Tanzania and really gave us star treatment the whole way. Highlights include a very up close experience with almost all of the big five! Plus a very special night in the Serengeti, with staff from ThornTree Camp singing to us to send us off on our last night. It was truly something special and something I will never forget, well worth the cost! THANK YOU LEADWOOD EXPEDITIONS FOR ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCES OF OUR LIVES!

Chobe National Park, elephants EVERYWHERE!
I took a day trip to Chobe National Park as part of a vacation to Victoria Falls. My only regret is that I only had time to spend one day in this AMAZING park. Timing is everything and we were blessed with literally hundreds of elephants. From the river, we spent time with several families as they took turns rolling in the mud (to put on their "sunscreen"). We also saw several pairs of young male elephants trying to show off in the water. There were also several water buffalo, impalas, hippos, and birds. We had a delicious lunch and then went on a land game drive to the same area of the river. By early afternoon literally hundreds of elephants had arrived at the river. We had so many up close views of elephants and giraffes it was spell binding. We also saw impalas, gazelle deer, and some very busy dung beetles. Although we didn't see a huge variety of animals, it was more than made up for in the sheer volume. I can only imagine what life lives deeper in the park. Kudos to Botswana for their action against poachers and it's ability to maintain a high density of life! I would definitely travel to Botswana again, only I would stay for several days.

Amboseli safari with Beacon Safaris - fantastic!!!
What a great time! From the well written communications for booking the trip via email with Robert, thru easy online payment to a great driver in Kevin, we had a great time going on a three day safari in Amboseli National Park in Kenya, all organized through Beacon Safaris. They arranged to have the driver pick us up from our golf course hotel west of Nairobi and took us straight to the safari camp called Kibo Safari Camp, a luxurious tented camp that I highly recommend. The safari itself was excellent with an abundance of animals. Kevin definitely knew where to look and he is very knowledgeable about them. Overall, it was a great trip and I highly recommend Beacon Safaris.

Great experience!
We did a lot of research before selecting K Safaris for our two-week trip to Uganda and Rwanda. What made K Safaris stand out was how responsive they were and how focused they were in making sure we had an excellent experience, both while planning and during the trip. I would highly recommend traveling with K Safaris. Let them know your interests, and they will tailor a trip to fit your needs. In addition to the amazing safaris, we really enjoyed the time we got to spend getting to know the Ugandan people, including in the markets, at cooperatives and other interactions planned by K Safaris. We were very impressed with how seamlessly Richard helped us address changes we needed along the way, like changing flight schedules and changing needs among our seven-person group. We traveled with Richard and Emma. They were both a lot of fun and clearly passionate about what they do.

Great Guides....Great Experience
My family along with our friends (10 people total) went on a 7 day safari in Tanzania where we explored 4 national parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro) and visited with 4 different tribes. Our guides George and Good Luck (yes, that's his name) were outstanding. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to do whatever it took to make sure we had a great time. If you want to feel safe with a reliable company and a great itinerary, I highly recommend Leopard Tours.
