Trip of a lifetime
We went on a 5 day safari with Face of Africa Adventures and it was truly the trip of a life time.
Hamadi was incredibly responsive and helpful when I was organising and booking the trip. From when we arrived at the airport in Kilimanjaro to when we left we were looked after very well. Everything we had organised with Hamadi happened and ran smoothly meaning we could relax and just enjoy the magical experience of safari.
Our guide Shaffie was experienced and very knowledgeable. We had 5 very full days of travelling and seeing the most beautiful animals and views, we really couldn't have asked for anything more.
I would recommend Face of Africa Adventures.

Great safari and great customer service
Our safari far exceeded our expectations. We went to Aberdare, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara. We saw white rhinos, cheetahs, lions, water buffalo, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, crocodiles, all kind of antelopes, lots of species of bird and much more. Our guide was friendly and fun, and looked after us very well. He worked very hard to make sure we got fantastic views of as much wildlife as possible and so we were very happy. We had great service from friendly staff at all the hotels we stayed at. They were in great locations, had excellent facilities and the food was of a high standard.

An extraordinary experience
The trip was just amazing. Since you go on a trip like this you go for the animals, the first part was a little dull but it built as we went along and the safari portion was exquisite. Memories for a lifetime. The lodge was perfect and oh! the animals... The planning & care by Go Touchdown were terrific.

Insane and awesome time
4 days safari/3 nights
I booked a 4 days safari for me and my brother and I got the connection from a friend. I was very surprised because Adam answered very fast the mails and gave me a good recommendation what would be the best for me and my brother and he sended me the details of a Safari tour. The money transfer worked also good.
In Arusha he picked us up and drove us to the hotel.
The safari itself was so insane, I can not explain that in words you just have to be there. We saw so much animals and the scenery was also so nice and incredible. The only bad thing was the cold weather at Ngorongoro, Adam could not influence this fact but he could said that it will be cold out there. The camping was very nice and the food was very delicious. The windows from the car were very heavy to open.
I would recommend Afrozone.

Very freindly and warm service
Paul, tour manager supported us and gave all tour info in detail and clearly. Other staffs eg guide, driver and other optimum staff were very helpful and try to let us exploit the opputunities in safari as much as possible. We felt so safe and worries free throughout the trip. Thanks for making Tanzania trip as one of best and memorable journey.

Everything was excellent – definitely recommend
I recommend choosing Sureway if you want personalized safaris with fair price. Mike is very reliable and honest tour guide and nice person. Everything was as promised (that is often a rare thing in Africa).

Memories
Hello and thank you for this offer to give a review of my South Africa experience. For me, this was a trip of a life long desire, considering that I had been a part of the resistance of apartheid oppression, while attending university some 50 years ago. So I was happily blown away by the beauty of the country, the tours offered and my living accommodations, making allowances when necessary, as the tours mattered more than sleeping quarters. What has left an unforgettable impression and which I have retold excessively is the following incident. Five individuals (me included) arrived at XXX for the safari experience. The Five consisted of a White couple and 3 Black ladies. At dinner on the first night, the 3 Black ladies were seated at a table by themselves, while the other guests (all white and meeting for the first time ) were seated together. Not a good impression. This practice changed but only after the guests themselves (foreigners) reacted to the situation On leaving the safari, we were told that any gratuities should be given to the owner for distribution to staff.. Again this smacked of something distrustful to foreign eyes, I am happy with my memories and momentous of your beautiful country, but there is a nagging reminder that the arc of progress is slow.

Incredible experience!
My partner and I spent a 5 day 4 night safari of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Meru Slopes 2 weeks ago. We had the most incredible time. Meru Slopes were faultless, from picking us up and dropping us off at the airport, providing accomodation the night before and after safari. We had booked camping safari but we were even upgraded to a lodge one night in the serengeti (possibly due to it being low season). The camping was rustic but an incredible experience, especially hearing hyenas laugh and buffalo chew with only a piece of canvas separating you! Our guide Idi was fantastic, he made sure we sure all the big 5,in sometimes unnervingly close proximity! We actually managed to see a record breaking (or so Idi tells us) 52 lions, 16 cheetah and 4 leopards (including 1 cub!). Our chef Mateo was a wizard with a camping stove and kept us incredibly well fed throughout the whole safari. It was my partners 30th birthday during the safari and Mateo managed to whip up a birthday cake complete with icing and candles, hearing happy birthday sung in swahili in the pitch black in the middle of the serengeti certainly was a memory to treasure. Thank you so much to Geofrey, Idi and Mateo for an experience of a lifetime!

3 day safari
Two friends and I booked a 3 day safari with Adam and it couldn’t have been better! Adam was very quick to respond to any questions we had and he made the process very easy. We were picked up from the airport and he arranged a hotel for us to stay in before our safari started. I highly recommend booking a safari with Adam!

Incredible Gorilla trekk, Safari and Chimps habituation in Uganda
Group of 4 we did 7 days tour, we did Gorila trekking, Chimps habituation and Safari in QENP, beside other activities in Uganda.
Where to start. First, this is a local company, so all the money you pay goes to local people, and not some tour operator based in Europe.
In short I can only say that the whole experience has been fantastic, excellent and perfect. All went smooth and fine. Thanks to the great team of Africa Adventures.
The whole experience including meals, lodges, trekkings, game drives and other was 10. We came back wantinn more and more.
At first contact I spoke with Ashiraf, one of the managers of the company. He was very nice and helped me with all doubts and questions, and was able to arrange a tour according our budget and interests. After the confirmation he was always available to answer any questions we had (we booked 5 months in advance).
I had the chance to meet him in Kampala and we spent a nice weekend getting to know his team and the company.
Regarding the safari, we were picked up by Sam in Kigali. Sam is an excellent professional, with plenty of experience and knowledge about animals, roads and anything you can imagine. Very safe and good driver, given that we spent plenty of time in the van.
The trekkings, habituation and safari game drives were awsome, we had the chance to find all the animals (even tree climbing lions).
I strongly reccomend to book with them, they are experts and humble, and they do an excelent job!
Thanks Ashraf, Sam and the whole Africa Adventure Vacations team
