Everything was impeccable
I went to Kenya and Uganda with this tour operator and everything was perfect: the tour was focused on what I wanted to see, the guides are friendly, professional and well-informed about the nature, the environment and the wildlife.
I surely recommend Around Africa Safaris to all my friends and people who want to experience an African safari.

3 day safari
We were in a small group with 6 People including the cook,the guide,and a canadian boy with his father. Freddie the guide was really nice,he could answer all questions about the park and the animals and always checked if we were okay.
During these 3 days we could see lions and elephants only 2 Meters away,that was amazing!
The food is also really good,for the last breakfast we had for examale pancakes, sausages, toast, fruits, ..
I really enjoyed the safari and if it wasn't that expensive I would have stayed for a few days longer.

Being in the hospitality industry I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service and professionalism encountered during our trip. The guide was highly qualified and experienced and made the trip into the Kruger very informative and enjoyable! Will recommend to anyone!

As you would like it !
We were planning a 10 day Kenya / Tanzania Safari in Nov. After looking at a few national operators in our country, i went online to search for a kenyan operator for the authentic safari experience. Post a few searches i stumbled upon Wildebeest Safaris and then got in touch with Noah.
The experience was great from the beginning - high responsiveness, customization / suggestion of the ideal itinerary ( specifically what we can leave out !) , no of days at each reserve. Given that we were a group of 7 with 3 children ( 5 , 5, 9 ) lodging quality and food was of importance to us as well. To say the least, we were impressed by the Food and Lodging across all locations. Also, Noah ensured that we got the mixed and varied experience of staying in lodges as well as tented camps.
Quality of Guides / vehicle was also quiet good. We also faced vehicle breakdown in the game reserve ( the axle broke ! nothing much can be planned for this ) , but was handled well by our guide and we were provided an alternate vehicle in good time to continue our day safari. 2 guides that impressed us the most ( and you can ask for them for your tour ) : Eustech in Kenya and Steven in Tanzania. As we got a dedicated land cruiser for ourselves, it was very comfortable and flexible to plan our daily safaris.
The cost was very competitive - specifically when i compare them to my national operators. Wildebeest Safari is definitely a go for - as they would most definitely provide you with what you wish for !

The whole Safari experience far outweighed my expectations!!
Our Safari was hosted by 4 wonderful men....Bryson, Michael, Simon and Oswin. (I am not sure I have spelt these names correctly. I believe that the level of enjoyment of the Safari that I had was largely contributed to by these men. They each displayed a great level of knowledge about the tour area, the wildlife, etc. Michael, in particular, who is a trainee was one of the most pleasant people I have met. He was a pleasure to have with us. I would recommend that he become a tour leader without hesitation. I have recommended Ilmaasai to a number of my friends and work colleagues as a "must do" Safari trip.

Unforgettable experience!
My safari in Uganda was amazing. Okech Obur my guide and I really enjoy my experience. I visited also Kenya during the Great Migration in august 2016 and I love it a lot. Thanks to Okech and Around Africa Safari. Highly reccommended.
Magical
Amboseli national park is truly magical place to be. There plenty of wild animals to see including elephants, hippos, buffalos, zebra, wildebeests, variety of birds. In addition to this, you have the bonus of viewing the highest mountain in Africa, that is the Kilimanjaro. So really, everything its in the same location.
One thing though, most animals will only come out of their hiding during evening hours and early morning before it gets too hot.

Wonderful 15 days safariing
It was a very good holiday. Although we have not visited (yet) the North, the South of Tanzania is still devoided of mass tourism ( although one can already see it coming due to the Zanzibar/Mafia vicinity). Selous and Ruaha are really precious. Animals are still afraid/ cautious of Land Rovers.

Great 3 week trip through Uganda and Rwanda
We had an excellent, carefully designed trip for the four of us with the outstanding guide/driver, Abdul.
He kept us safe, drove safely through all different kinds of roads, showed us amazing wildlife ranging from birds to mammals, and gave us great insight into both countries that we visited. He was able to switch to driving on the "wrong" side of the road in Rwanda with no problems! He did a great job of packing and unpacking all of our bags and giving us options in planning our daily schedule. The hotels that they selected for us were very good and several were simply great! Our meals were also delicious and filling. Abdul also gave us a choice between "western" or local food for our lunches and we were very happy with the local restaurants that he found for us.
As with any long trip, there were a few glitches which were not the fault of Abdul nor of Destination Jungle Safaris. Their back office stayed in touch with us by phone to talk us through any rough spots as they occurred.
We believe that we received very good value and appreciated that we could customize the trip before we signed on. This allowed us to know which long days of travel we had signed up for and when to expect one night stands versus two or three night stays which allow one to rest and re-energize.
We certainly recommend Destination Jungle Safaris for anyone thinking of going to these two fascinating countries. The two visits to the mountain gorillas (one in each country) were beyond words!
