Awesome and good value.
I came across Loyce's Safari company in the early days back in 2008. Booked a safari trip to Lake Nakuru and separately, a trek up Kilimanjaro after. Loyce and her team were able to have all the contacts needed for my trip to go ahead.
Later on I recommended a large groups of young students from my country who wanted to volunteer in Africa and wanted to have a holiday after, and Loyce was awesome taking care of them and giving them a memorable experience.
I would recommend Pounds East Africa Safaris to anyone wanting to have an awesome holiday in East Africa.

Epic Uganda was incredibly responsive and professional.
Our experience with Epic Uganda, from the pre-trip communication to the beginning, middle, and end of the trip was exceptional. My husband and I chose the 6 day Rwanda-Uganda Gorillas and Wildlife Safari. Our guide Scotius was warm, kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. Our nightly lodging was comfortable with amazing, attentive staff. We were blown away by experiencing the gorillas a chimpanzee - an incredibly special experience. Our wildlife drives were beyond expectation with lions and leopard spotting! The boat ride on Lake Edward was a surprise with the abundance of wildlife—elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife. Be prepared for lots of time driving, and be sure to secure an Eastern Africa Visa.

Amazing safari experience with Godson
We have done a 5-day safari with the whole family (father, mother, son and daughter). We have spent one day in Tarangire, two in Serengeti and another in Ngorongoro. If you add up it gives four days since almost a whole day is spent in transfer, especially when going to Serengeti (I recommend taking at least two days in Serengeti, otherwise it is not worth going that far to spend only one afternoon).
As for comparing parks, in Tarangire you can always see elephants and zebras, and the route is quite beautiful along the river. The Serengeti is somewhat drier in terms of landscape but it is the perfect place to see felines: lions, cheetahs, leopards... and depending on the season, there are also zebras and wildebeests in abundance due to migration. Finally, as for Ngorongoro, it is impressively beautiful in terms of the landscape and the views, you can also see quite a few animals but it is true that the day is a little short since it is the smallest park and you cannot access half of it because It is covered in water. It is done as a route of only about 4-6 hours. I hope I have helped.
On the other hand, the organization by the company for the transfer from the hotel, the food, the request for some other activity to do in Arusha before starting the safari... has been excellent.
We have had Godson as a guide. He is not the most talkative man of all, but he is a very hard-working boy, who tries to find the best option for the group he leads. Furthermore, you can tell that he is enthusiastic about his work, he tries to take paths that others don't take and you end up seeing things that others don't see. He is also a very good driver. He seems very confident in what he does and says and knows his field very well. To be perfect he would need to be a little closer and explain a little more the things that are going to be done at each moment to be more informed, but in general we have been very comfortable and happy and thanks to him we have seen many animals and since a privileged place, which in the end is what we are all looking for on the safari.

A wonderful safari trip with “Earthwings Tours”
Many thanks to Martin and his Earth Wings team for our unforgettable safari. Our guide Ruben was professional and friendly, we saw the big five of Africa and many other animals, Kilimanjaro, visited several national parks. We are very pleased to get acquainted with the earth wings and recommend them to tourists in Kenya. We wish you prosperity, and hope for a new meeting.

Once in a lifetime experience with an amazing tour guide
I went for the full day experience and was lucky enough to see the big 5 as well as a host of other amazing creatures. My guide Petrus was amazing; full of wisdom on each animal and very entertaining. Thanks to his skills of seeking out big cats we were able to see leopards and lions too. I can’t recommend this enough. You have to do it and they take care of everything for you.

Excellent in all areas
We did a 4 day 3 night safari in Masai Mara and Nakuru with 7 people. Daniel met us at Nairobi airport and we then drove to Masai Mara. Outstanding driver and guide Anthony. Excellent accommodations and Land Cruiser vehicle which was comfortable for 7 of us. Anthony was amazing, knowledgeable about animals and Kenya. Would recommend Meeks Trails highly!

Finally !! A travel expert for Tanzania
I finally found a travel expert for photographic safaris in Tanzania.
A travel company which put their heart and soul in what they do.
I have been to Kenya for 28 times and to Tanzania only for 4 times ! You know why ?
From the ocean of Travel Agents in Tanzania, how do I choose the right planner ? Because anyone can become a travel agent in Tanzania with some experience and contacts.
As a Wildlife photographer who’s been doing this since 2013 and also a frequent visitor to Kenya (28 times), I did not want to compromise on my itinerary in Tanzania. Nor did I want to do several more trips to find the right person to travel with.
I came across ReWild Away’s reel about a property in Serengeti. I have watched many videos about the stay/experience/planning in the social media but here, I have been noticing some genuine care about what she was talking. And also she’s a wildlife photographer. So I knew that she will understand a photographer’s needs.
Followed her videos for more than a month, reached out to her on Instagram and explained what I’m actually looking for in Tanzania, explained why I couldn’t easily plan a perfect itinerary for Tanzania still being a super frequent traveller to Kenya.
There are 4 main important things on a safari for a Wildlife Photographer:
* A perfect itinerary considering the weather and animal movements from absolute Live update.
* An expert driver who knows how to position and really understands wildlife.
* A place of stay which is very flexible with timings and also well located.
* Reasonable cost for all the above.
In just one week, I received an itinerary which had everything a wildlife photographer looks for.
Ndutu, Namiri, Seronera and Ngorongoro. Spent 20 days as a whole and trust me, so this was my 5th time in Tanzania but finally through an expert who genuinely cares about your experience from heart.
Got the best driver ever and also ReWild Away had been in close touch throughout and made sure everything was perfect.
This is one of the most important process that ReWild Away does. They personally ensure to travel to a place, check things on the ground level, analyse and experience the place before she takes clients on a tour. Every single experience is meticulously planned so that we have a smooth and perfect experience. And also I found out that they have a strong connection with the locals through love and kindness but not through money.
I finally found my travel partner in Tanzania and I’ll be back!
