Exceeded all expectations - could not have been better.
5/5

Found communications clear and concise with questions answered promptly. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable in identifying the many animals and birds encountered and their ability to spot wild life at a distance was outstanding. Their choice of accommodation varied between first class hotels and authentic tented camps with all providing an excellent choice of food and drink. I felt everyone in the company that I met was a friend and nothing was too much trouble. I have been on many safaris but never one as good as this. Will definitely book with this company whenever returning to Africa.

Shark Dive and Safari over New Years
5/5

We can't say enough about the service from Adventura! During planning our trip they were great. We knew that we wanted to do a shark dive and a safari but that was about all we knew. They walked through options and other activities to help plan the perfect trip. They were receptive with all of our requests and questions. The people who work for Adventura are great. Our guide in Cape Town Robin was fantastic. We have already decided when we go back we are going to request that we work with him again. We have done our own scheduling and driving in some other trips that we have taken but thought maybe it would be to much in somewhere we were so unfamiliar with and really didn't know much about so we went with professionals and so glad we did. For the first time on a vacation my wife relaxed and wasn't ready to come home near the end of our time. We didn't know what to expect but I can tell you we are now in love with Africa and will be going back again in the near future. When we do, we will be working with Adventura again.

Absolutely fantastic!
5/5

After considering various other providers, we chose Asili Explorer as they were a local tour operator and they provided a friendly service, fast response and comprehensive information about various options. Joe (the owner) was very accommodative to our requirements and interests, allowing us to design a perfect schedule for our 4-day safari in Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks.

The safari exceeded our highest expectations - it proved to be the most memorable, authentic and fantastic travel experience ever! There is no better guide-driver than Enock Fabiani, who relentlessly worked on making it the best safari for us - with his 'hawk-eyes' he was able to detect all wild animals we wished to see, and many more - in addition to the 'Big 5', we also saw the great wildebeest migration, a cheetah attacking a wildebeest, 4 lion brothers feeding and leopard eating his meal in a tree. Enock was always patient with us, and made sure we were comfortable and happy, providing various timetable options with pros and cons for us to choose from. He has a rare, authentic passion for his job and pure love for animals and nature, which showed in his ability to tell us everything about the animals/safari and even connect with the animals so as to tell if we met them again or when they were hungry/hunting/aggressive vs. meek.

We were so pleased with our 4-day safari that we decided to do another 2-day safari after that – with Enock taking us to Manyara and Tarangire this time. Again, fantastic time!

Although the accommodation Asili offered (from lux bush camps to bungalows) were impressive & comfortable, they were still able to provide a competitive and fair offering for us.

Thank you so much Enock and Joe for our fabulous safaris! Hope to see you again soon!

Fantastic Service
5/5

Just returned from a 5 day trip to AM Lodge in the Kruger National Park, arranged by Jolene at East Cape Tours, she has been brilliant in looking after all our arrangements, which we never made easy for her.

As a company incentive trip Jolene has looked after all of our wishes and requests and even helped sort out a Soweto tour as we had a 10 hour wait to return home. Even when we had an internal flight cancellation due to bad weather, she immediately arranged for an overland transfer to take us to our lodge.

Hope to return again next year with even more of our staff and would not hesitate to use you again.

I had a great time
5/5

Actually I booked twice with Castro. First time Kilimanjaro + Safari and the second time Mount Meru + Safari.
My guide and the porters were all very nice, gentle and helpful... The communication in english was very good. Always as possible I use local business and this was a great choice. I got picked up at time in the airport and food was very good too. As photographer, you always need patience guides and the definitely helped me a lot to get good pictures!

8 day enchantment safari
5/5

It all starts by choosing a safari provider and an itinerary and work together to make it your dream safari.
Lucy was incredibly responsive and therefore so helpful to help in setting up our program.
I had an amazing feeling beforehand and it just became reality once we arrived and were welcomed by her and our guide Simon. We enjoyed the personal touch of also being able to meet up with her again at the end of our customized program. It was all perfectly timed by Simon who ensured that we saw all the wildlife and more that one family can imagine to see!
We saw the rhino in Lake Nakuru, especially many lions in Maasai Mara and more, biking and hiking in Hell's gate, Lake Navaisha; finished in Amboseli with the magestic Kilimandjaro and the elephants.
We felt very safe driving around and so well taken care of by the experienced and knowledgeable Simon.
It was a fabulous trip and we are so grateful to Serene safaris for the incredible experience!

3 Days Mara Safari with kids
5/5

At first i was skeptical about the budget accommodation as i was travelling with my 8 yrs twin girls.
Maggie was helpful as she assured me all is well with the Lenchada accommodation and through faith i took the offer.
I cant regret as the camp is very friendly and service is top notch . Thanks Maggie for that .
During the safari we saw all big 5 luckily and my kids were very happy as i also ensured they enjoyed a balloon ride. Bison safaris driver is well manered ,polite and above all knows the reserve really well on where to take us for best photos .

Wonderful guide, great with children
5/5

Communication before the safari was good. We made some adjustments to the itinerary and it was all successful. We had a slight issue with cash payment, as we paid in USD (as is common in Tanzania), and the administrator wasn't able to provide correct change. I would recommend to bring exact change!

We had a wonderful 4 days in Rufiji area, with Afra as our guide. We stayed in Rufiji River Camp which was excellent. Afra was patient, very knowledgeable about plants and animals, and his country. He also had obvious pride in his Land Cruiser, and always made sure it was clean, and well supplied with drinking water. We really do think we had a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and immediately recommended the same company and driver to our friends upon our return home, who booked straight away!
