Our Stick2Uganda safaridreams became with Grassroots an experiencefull reality
In 2015 the Foundation Stick2Uganda planned a trip to Uganda with 20 students of the Christelijk Lyceum Veenendaal and 5 teachers. Grassroots supported us by realising our program. Our intention was to make a community based program with research and contacts in local community’s. Grassroots helped us finding good accommodations and the right contacts in the community.

"simply awesome, amazing and wonderful tour"
I started planning just 2 weeks before my actual tour date so, I had too many queries but I really appreciate Lenox's (tour operator) patience who replied all of my queries regarding tour 24x7. He totally understood my requirements and plan as per that so, thanks a lot Lenox.
I am wildlife lover and it was my first tour to Africa so my expectations was too much from this tour and I can say I enjoyed this tour more than I expected.
Special thanks to Lawrence our safari driver and guide. He tried all possible way to show us wildlife with details. He's so much friendly, energetic, co-operative and caring person.
Also thanks to Hellen our care taker during our stay in Masai Mara who served us delicious food and always ready to help.
Clean tent house, delicious food, co-operative staff, Knowledgeable tour guide (Lawrence) you will never get all this in a very low price package so, I strongly recommend everyone to book Kenya safari through Axis Africa only.

Magical Safari with Magical Retreats
Me and my wife made a booking with magical retreats for a short safari in Oct 2016.
It was quite last minute and Ms. Pamela was really efficient in making all the arrangements on such short notice. We had an excellent private safari and we managed to see most of the animals in the game preserve. The icing on the cake was of course the early morning balloon safari.
I must also add that Ms. Pamela offered us the best price as we did enquire with a lot of other tour operators.
I would highly recommend Ms. Pamela and Magical Retreats for your next african adventure :)

The best agency for the best trip in Maasai Mara!
We found the agency on internet and we dont regret to have done the trip with them.
Our trip in Maasai Mara was just perfect! From our arrival to Kenya the agency took charge of everything.
In Maasai Mara, we were welcomed by David, who was our driver for 3 days. He was very nice and he knows very well the reserve so we could see all the animals. We saw more than 30 lions (sleeping, eating, and even a female feeding her babies). David knows the best spots to find all the animals. We could even see leopards, which is very rare since these animals hide in the trees. The lodge was nice in the best part of Maasai Mara!
We definitely recommend Karibu Safaris In Kenya and we are planing to go for with them for another trip.
Many thanks to Roberts and David!

Very efficient service and we received the booking that fit our needs.
African Savanna Travel was highly professional and delivered quickly on our desired safari tour.
The tour itself fit our exact needs and the stay itself exceeded our expectations.

The best experience I've ever had, physically and emotionally
Words can not express how grateful I am for African traits.
I did the 7 day lemosho route to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.
I would strongly advise anyone and everyone to go with African traits. This company went over and beyond for me multiple times, especially before, during and after my hike was finished. I first learned about this company through word of other people who went with them. I am from Canada and wanted to go through a local company in Africa. I had many options but my decision was easily made with African traits. A few months before I departed for my adventure in Africa I had been messaging Godfrey Willy on many questions and specifics. My first was the price, I am a 22 year old who needed to have a reasonable price. For my experience on mount Kilimanjaro I would have paid double, that's how much I appreciated it. Godfrey (African traits) was very professional with quick responses and detailed answers. The guides, porters and everyone else on the mountain with us were so loving, helpful and caring. Teaching me their language and all about their culture, while giving me facts about any and everything on the mountain. From animals to plants to any other facts you wanted to know. I could write a very long and detailed review but I will leave it to me achieving the top of Mount Kilimanjaro with ease of the help of my guides, and leaving the mountain with my heart full of beauty and new friendships. I would do this again and i still crave the food I ate on the mountain. If you have any questions I would love to answer any of them. Contact me on my email [email protected]

Great experience
This was our 1st time to Kenya. We really enjoyed every moment of it. It surpassed our expectations. Our trip organizer (Kennedy) did a great job arranging everything. All my communication was through email and did not have any issues. He was very flexible with payments and quick at replying back. Our driver (Jackson) for the safari was great and was very knowledgeable. The accommodations were suitable. Food was good as well. Masai mara was a good location. Lake Nakuru - did not see as much, but good for flamingos. Lake Naivasha- great for bird life. Safety was never an issue. Overall great 1st experience.

Fabulous scenery. The Big Five in abundance plus wild African dogs.
I spent two weeks in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve volunteering with the biennial herbivore census through Earthwatch.org. I was trained in how to use a GPS, range finder and compass. For two straight weeks, I spent each morning, dawn till about 10:30 am, hiking through the bush alone accompanied by just one ranger with a big gun. I came within a few meters of lions, a leopard, elephants, both white and black rhino, cape buffalo, zebra and a wide range of other ungulates. The scenery is fantastic. There were many birds but I am not a birder so cannot comment on this. I slept in a tent to the sounds of lions and hyenas. I got to know Zulu rangers and workers despite our limited understanding of each other's language.This opportunity does require that you be in good enough shape to hike up to 9 or 10 miles a day at about 2.5 miles an hour plus be strong enough to get into a tree quickly with a boost from the ranger. I am 68 and a woman and was able to do this trip easily, including getting into a tree. However, I did work out for months in preparation for the trip. Well worth the effort.

Pleasant communication and lots of smiles
Soul of Tanzania was able to give me a suitable package, since I'm traveling alone. Nico guided me through Tarangire and it was the most amazing safari I have ever done. Watch out for those elephants though.. Special thanks to Kim for organising. Would definitely recommend them!
