Best safari
Communication was perfect. Food was way above expectations. Sleeping in the serengeti was unforgettable. Big Thanks to Joshua from Moria Safaris who organised everything to meet our wishes.

Top-notch experience both during safari and in Zanzibar
Stunning experience in Tanzania thanks to Full Package Adventures. We really enjoyed the diverse wildlife, we saw almost every kind of animals, with high-quality accommodations and exceptional support of Adrian, our tour driver, who took care of us in everything.
Special mention for Faraja who assisted us during the whole journey, since the very beginning, giving good advices and suggestions during the planning and the purchasing of the tour, and for his regular checks during our vacation.

Best Safari experience ever
Hi! Me and my husband started our safari on the 10.7.2024 for seven days in the Southern part of Tanzania. Everything was well planned and organised by the company. The hotel choices were excellent and the experiences we made were beyond our expectations. We loved our guide Silas who was very passionated and super helpful. He had so much knowledge about the nature and spotted/recognised every animal. We can strongly recommend to ask for him if you should consider booking a tour with SVAI Luxe Escapes. Thank you for this wonderful time!

Excellent!
No regret to have Safari with Cubs Expeditions. They are very accommodating. Our time was limited for doing Safari but (of course) we wanted to see them all. Cubs Expeditions could come up with all alternatives. Our guide (Goodwin) also made sure that our trip was memorable, and be able to see the big five! The food they provided was yummy. Same with the choices of accommodations. Very comfortable. So we all could sleep well after a long day in the car.
Super happy!

Easy to book with, good communication, excellent service.
We had a 6 days safari from Maasai Mara to Nakuru and Amboseli. Our tour guide Francis was just amazing! He is an excellent driver, has a lots of contacts to find animals and he is very sharp ! Also the Lenchada tourists camp was clean and the food was good! The Sentrim at Amboseli was amazing also! Everywhere during the safari, the food was delicious! I really enjoyed the whole safari and it's a must when going to Kenya !

Fantastic experience with our guide, Ronald!
We had an absolutely amazing time on our Frena tour with our guide, Ronald. From the moment I contacted Fred, the owner, I got quick responses. He answered all my questions and let me make adjustments to our itinerary until it fit exactly what we wanted. We flew into Entebbe, and Ronald picked us up at our hotel. We did a 10 hour drive to Bwindi and Ronald answered literally ANY question we had for him. He brought us to a delicious Ugandan buffet, helped us withdraw cash from the ATM, and made sure we had everything we needed during that long drive.
We spent 2 nights in Bwindi at a beautiful lodge with the most incredible views for our gorilla trek. Prior to the trek, Ronald informed us exactly how it would happen, so we were never unsure or confused when we arrived. From there, we stayed 2 nights near Queen Elisabeth National park where Ronald took us on multiple game drives and did everything he could to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. He was so good at spotting the animals and stopped and slowed down anytime we wanted photos and videos. He completely catered to us and made the experience so amazing by telling us all about the animals we were seeing and again, answering all of our questions. The lodge was absolutely stunning and we fell asleep to the sounds of hippos every night! We also did a channel cruise while there where we were literally within 10-20 feet of hippos and elephants and so many birds. We spent our last night in Kibale at yet another gorgeous lodge. We did chimpanzee trekking there (which I recommend—it is just as amazing as the gorillas, but is easier!). We drove by other tourist vehicles that had a lot of tourists inside and felt so spoiled by our private tour with Ronald!
A few things:
1. We were in a tourist van that had a roof that popped up. We thought it was great, but I guess some have been disappointed in the past we were told. Ronald mentioned that you can request other types of vehicles. So be sure to ask Fred about that. But the van was comfortable for our long drives and it was perfect for our game drives.
2. This company is owned by a man from Uganda. I wanted our money to stay in Uganda, so I chose Frena.
3. The lodges all provide three meals a day. We were never hungry.
4. Fred is running the whole thing, so don’t be concerned if it takes a day or two to hear back from him. It’s only him answering all the emails!
5. You won’t be connected with your driver until the night before. Don’t worry! I was a little stressed about that, but you’ll get a what’s app message connecting you, and once connected, you’ll always get responses from your driver when you’re not with them.
6. I felt so safe being shown around by Ronald. A lot of people told us we should stay in Rwanda instead, claiming Uganda isn’t safe. We never once felt unsafe.
7. It literally is a private tour. I honestly didn’t realize this until a few months after we booked!
8. You pay half the tour when you book. You pay the second half later. If you plan to pay when you arrive, you must do so in cash. So be sure to ask BEFORE YOU LEAVE if you don’t want to be carrying thousands of your currency abroad. My friend who used Frena warned me of this, so we just paid with card a month before our trips.
9. When you’re on the treks, a lot of tipping is expected by the other people involved, so bring small bills (they accept US dollars, euros, and pounds).
Again, I cannot recommend Frena enough. I seriously felt like Ronald was just our friend showing us around his home country. We saw so many amazing animals and had so much fun while doing it. Do not hesitate—book Frena! Look at my photos to see how great it was!

BEST SAFARI COMPANY IN TANZANIA
Just came from safari in Tanzania with Soke Safaris. It was a lifetime experience vacation with local Tanzania company. From start to finish everything was planned accordingly. We had many question before and Caren from the reservation office did the best in answering all queries. The hotel and lodges was excellent, food, guide and safari car was amazing. I would recommend Soke Safari Company for anyone who wish to visit Tanzania

Efficient, high-quality, exceeded my every expectation
Isabella was responsive and very helpful when planning the trip - she thought of everything. When she met us at the airport, it was like being met by a local friend. She had everything planned out super well and when we wanted to add last minute activities, she was very accommodating and helpful. Paul spent the majority of the time with us, ushering us from Zimbabwe through Botswana. He was very knowledgeable and excited to share about the history, culture, and animals. He remembered even minute details we shared and used that information to tailor our experiences. I feel like Paul genuinely cared about us, shared in our joy, and happily catered to our every whim. The value for the trip was great - we booked a "mid-range" budget trip, but I feel like all of the accommodations where high end.
