Very good service!
I had an amazing safari experience thanks to our guide, Kush. He took great care of us throughout the trip and always made sure we were comfortable. Kush was incredibly skilled at spotting animals — not only did he find so many for us, but he also positioned the vehicle perfectly for the best views. He explained each animal we saw with patience and detail, and answered all our questions with a smile. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

perfect
I with my partner booked 6 days budget trip and it deserves the price. The Chinese agent is very kind and booking from her is very convenient for me. Our guide Kush is a super man. He is very professional and found many animals for us. We took great photos and made great friends with other travellers. In a word, perfect trip.

SUMMIT WITH TWENDE
I cannot sing enough praises for Peter and his team on our adventure of hiking Kilimajaro via Lemosho. From the very beginning, Peter was very prompt in answering all our questions and guiding us on what to expect on the journey.
We were a group of 4 including 2 fifteen year olds.
Baraka and Kalvin were our lead guides. They always made sure we were comfortable and set a comfortable pace for the journey. They were extremely patient knowledgeable. Every night we had a briefing of what the expect for the next day. Daily monitoring of our oxygen levels and heart rates.
Shout out to our cook and waiter (Richie and David). I had previously read on blogs that we should be carrying our own hot sauces – Not with this chef. Full breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner + snacks for the road! Not one meal was repeated – and with a taste that can beat any established restaurant. The soups were the best. David made sure we were eating well to build stamina.
The soul of our team were the porters, these guys know – and I’m not exaggerating, every rock in the terrain. They would pack up after we left for our hike, beat us to the next camp, have everything setup before we reached with hot meals ready to serve. Some porters would also make the trek back towards us, to take our backpacks and lighten the load – they operate as one team. When you see them going up and down these steep terrains, with the amount of weight on their backs, your own achievement of summitting becomes very humbling – they do it day in and day out.
Baraka and Kalvin kept up a pace that was comfortable for us on summit night - with constant encouragement. We also had 2 extra summit porters to assist on the hike, and we could not have done it without them. Us coming from sea-level, carrying even 5 pounds on top the heavy clothing you’re wearing feels like carrying 40 pounds.
Twende ensured that we tasted success and would not have been possible without the entire team. Would highly recommend Twende for your Kili Hike - Best of all, they are a local company and they treat everyone well!!!

Amazing Safari – Big Thanks to Eli & Humphrey!
We had the best time on safari! Everything was super well organized by Humphrey – easy communication, no stress, and even though there were some changes with our flights, he was able to adjust our itinerary without any issues.
Our guide Eli was absolutely fantastic. He was always on time, full of good energy, very knowledgeable, and really went the extra mile to make sure we had the best views of the animals. He’d always try to get us right in front for the perfect angle. He shared fun personal stories, made us laugh, and was just a genuinely positive and helpful person – even helping other guides along the way.
We felt lucky to have him – he made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and unforgettable.
If you’re going on safari, definitely book with Cubs Expeditions and ask for Eli as your guide. Can’t recommend them enough!
Asante sana! 🐘🦁🦓

nice
We had an amazing safari experience thanks to this agency. Everything was planned perfectly – from the itinerary to the accommodations, which were all comfortable and exceeded our expectations. Our guide Jorden was extremely responsible and dedicated – he put great effort into helping us spot wildlife and always drove safely, even on rough terrain. The overall service was very professional, and we felt well taken care of throughout the trip. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of the experience. Highly recommended!

They are very responsive
From the beginning our experience was amazing! Juventus was great and answered all my questions without pressure to book. Once booked, there was clear communication from the tour operator about the tour. Our tour guide was Adrian and he always had a smile on his face and answered all of our questions. He was timely, and went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied with our tour.

Safari tour in Mulimi
We had an incredible day. We were able to see lions, monkeys, giraffes, antelopes and lots of other wild animals up close!! The guide Stéphane speaks very good French and is very attentive to our needs. You can book with your eyes closed!!!!! Lucy is the best 💓 she doesn't speak French but was adorable and attentive to our requests despite our ridiculous English

Well established professionally operated tour operator with excellent staff to back up
We were planning for a 05 days budget safari tour and came up with Venture Africa Budget Safaris. Our initiial interaction with Martha and Diana were very cordial as they explained the various options available. Finally we selected the package for 03 days Masai Mara, 02 days Amboselli and Lake Nakaru game reserves. Martha helped us with all the documentation for the ETA Visa which went smoothly and we got our visa in a day.
The day of start of our safari Martha came to our Airbnb with two Landcruisers with 08 seaters each. We were 10 of us all family from India , US and Canada. The first day was entry into Masai and we couldn't believe we actually saw a herd of six lions hunting a large male buffalo that too from close range. The chase and hunt finally the buffalo escaping towards our parked jeeps. The lions retreated in to the wilderness and we continued our journey into Masai. We were treated to a mix of herd of zebras, girrafes, wilde beast, wart hogs, thomson gazelles, antelopes and variety of birds all together in harmony.
Our Drivers Edwin and Daniel were doubling up as guides too and the guys were very knowledgeable and cordial.
Next two days were in Amboselli and Lake Nakuru which were also the same experience. We also saw a lion and lioness enjoying their kill that too from a yards distance.
On the whole our family enjoyed the safari to the most and we had our moneys value. Venture Africa Budget Safaris is highly recommended by me for anyone wanting to have the safari which is a must in a lifetime for all.
