Excellent Kilimanjaro climb
Myself and my partner climbed Kilimanjaro with Mafie adventures via the Lemosho route.
We took 8 days but felt in hindsight it could have been completed in 7. However, neither of us had much effect of altitude so perhaps the longer route was beneficial. We enjoyed the route as it was varied and, with the exception of summit day, pleasantly manageable.
The team was 12 in total: 9 porters, 1 chef, 1 assistant guide and 1 guide. Everyone was very helpful and dedicated in making it the best experience. The guide Oliver in particular was very knowledgeable and had the relevant safety equipment. The chef also cooked exceptional food to a restaurant standard - unbelievable for the setting! The porters also worked exceptionally hard.
Be mindful that tipping is expected and is per person so ask how many will be in the team before you depart. In advance, we were not given much information e.g. on what to bring so don't be shy to ask.
Overall, I would highly recommend Mafie adventures for the full Kilimanjaro experience.

Smooth, friendly and efficient
It was a lifetime memory created in Africa by Baboon Budget Safari. Thank you very much for making our first Africa safari a perfect one.
Especially, Lawrence was an extraordinary guide for us.

A well-planed exciting tour
I booked a luxuary 7 day Kanya safari trip from Ramja Safaris which has a reasonable price compared to other options on safaribookings. The overall experience is very satisfying. From the very beginning, Steve helped me to customize the trip plan considering the hotel availability and our preferences. The communication through email and Wechat was smooth and effective. Steve greeted my family at the airport. He surprised me by speaking fluent Chinese. Then, the trip worked out just as planned. Our guide and driver Isaack was friendly and professional. We feel very comfortable and safe travelling him. He is knowledgeable about our curious questions, and well manage the trip according to the plan. Specially Isaack managed to avoid the impact to our trip due to the recent demostration in Kenya . The 4X4 land cruiser was very powerful to handle unpaved road situation in the parks. It was also very spacious to accommodate our 3-member family(actually it accomodates 7 people maximum). The hotels and the meals they offer meet our expectation. The hotels are both comfortable and unique which allowed us to see beautiful views and experience African culture. We see almost all important animals, inlcuidng many lions, rhinoes, buffalos, elephants... The most exciting moment throughout this trip was probably when we saw a pride of lions trying to hunt wildebeests.

Clearly passionate about his work, the nature and the animals.
Had a great trip to Hwange National Park with Mike. The food and service was excellent, him and Bernard clearly had a lot of enthusiasm and passion for conservation, the animals, nature and they were very knowledgeable. Everything went smoothly from pick-up to drop-off and we weren't lacking anything. Was a great experience and I would book with Khangela safaris again.

My 2nd trip with Nature Responsible Safari - and it won't be the last
I usually book my vacation well in advance. I booked this trip here at short notice to get a change from the European rainy weather ;-). The contact with the owner - Fransisca - was trustworthy and all questions were answered very quickly.
The trip took us from Tarangire NP via Lake Manyara to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide John has a lot of experience, patiently explained to us what we wanted to know and knew exactly when we needed to be where.
Once again Asante Sana to NRS

Superb safari from start to finish
We had an incredible safari with RO Scavenger. It’s a boutique operation owned and run by a former safari guide and his experience really showed. Silas was incredible to work with from the outset and tailored the safari to our every need, factoring in specific experiences we wanted and ensuring it all fitted within our budget.
We also had a superb guide called Edward who is super friendly and seemingly knows pretty much every other guide out there, which was useful for getting tip offs for rare sightings. He has years of experience and it showed. While other guides would be jostling for position, he’d sit back knowing where the animals would go to, ensuring we had front row seats for several incredible moments. We saw all the big five, had some very close encounters and got to see some truly unique animal behaviour experiences.
We had booked the safari for our honeymoon and it RO Scavenger organised several wonderful little touches everywhere we stayed. It was a truly memorable experience - and made all the better by the fabulous food and unending supply of wine, beers and snacks!
