Incredibly amazing safari experience
From the beginning David and his crew were extremely available, immediately answering any questions about the safari tour I wanted to put together. Then we began our tour in Nairobi with Cyrus and I have to say we struck gold. What a wonderful, wise, knowledgeable guy. Not only did he go beyond all expectations with his driving and scouting of the animals but he was also an incredible source of information regarding interesting and fun facts about fauna and flora. He absolutely made our holiday. We feel so lucky to have met him and we totally recommend the company he works for. We could not have asked for a better experience. Also worth mentioning is the complimentary safari hats and the unlimited bottled water supply which was vital for me.

Professional and understanding
It is our first time in Rwanda and my wife and I booked a 3-day tour with 1000 Hills Safari. They are really professional and comprehensive. They always put us in cauzi hotels during the trip. The guide/driver was really professional and knew in advance how to manage the timing so that you can see all the things you want without being exhausted. Summary: I highly recommend 1000 Hills Safari if you want to organise a trip in Rwanda.

Very professional and quick responses.
We got within a extremely short time a beautiful and comprehensive quote including a lot of nce pictures, additional activities and a reasonable price.
The few question that were still open or came to our mind in the month before the trip started were answered within a few hours. Payment was quick and worked perfectly.
We had a trip with 3 different guides in 4 countries, all were safe and cautious drivers, highly knowledgable and would find us a lot of animals. They organised every detail of the 11 days professionally and reliable.
The hotels and lodges were very nice, spotless clean and with very friendly and well trained employees, enthusiastic hosts and very helpful and attentive.
Our trip was rather short with only eleven days but offered a few unforgetable highlights. Due to the strict timing of the trip we had as well some long drives and we would have loved to stay here and there a day or two longer, what would give the chance for more relaxation and even more experiences.

Wonderful experience, well organised and good value for money.
We are now back home but daydreaming of our time in Tanzania.
We had a fantastic time on safari. We were met as planned in Arusha airport by our guide Stanley.
Stanley was absolutely the star of our safari - an exceptional guide - friendly, attentive to our needs and requests, a safe driver, complete connoisseur of the parks and wildlife. We learnt so much from him and he gave us full confidence that we were in safe, capable hands even when our back wheel got stuck in the mud following the heavy rains!
The parks are spectacular and the process to get in and out was handled flawlessly and with minimal interruption to our trip. The nature and wildlife is so unique and incredible!
The lodges were also great - accommodation at Escarpment was particularly amazing. The communal areas at Sopa Lodge were really nice but the rooms are laid out in a way that they are small and dark unfortunately.
The food and drink options at the lodges were good, however the food options during the day at pic nics were the only part of the experience that were not great and could really do with improvement.
Overall the value for money for the experience was very good.
Thank you also to Marta who made the booking process very easy for us and was very accommodating of the changes we requested to our itinerary.

The most magical trip
Nature Responsible Safari got everything right! Tanzanian woman owned, conscious tourism, and the welcome could not have been warmer in every place we stayed. The accommodations and food were fantastic (being vegetarian was no issue whatsoever...in fact everything was vegan except the milk in our coffee). Compared to other companies I researched, the trip was very reasonably priced and we honestly can't imagine that it could have been any more luxurious than it was. Our guide, Heriel, was expertly patient in finding animals (and navigating traffic outside of parks) and we really enjoyed his company. We are not normally beach people but our 5 days in Zanzibar were equally magical, largely to the amazing places we stayed and the wonderful staff. We've only been home for 10 days but we are already dreaming about going back. Nature Responsible Safari clearly values building a connection with each individual client and we feel so lucky to have met them!

Perfect trip, David speaks perfect Spanish (he jokes a lot) which makes the trip very comfortable.
After years of searching for a variety of prices, I found this company which offered me a very affordable price and it was a private safari for two people, which I did not hesitate at any time and it was a success, since everything went very well. David is very friendly and smiling, he jokes a lot in Spanish, which, taking into account the number of hours in the vehicle, makes it more enjoyable, he tells you a lot about the country and the animals. In my particular case I had forgotten the camera charger, and he got me one. I totally recommend it, we got to see all the big ones on the safari. If you are looking for a guide to take this dream trip, I, personally, would repeat with him again.

Professional, courteous & very accomodating
We had an excellent 12-day safari of Kenya & Tanzania this month.
Africa Safari bookings team - Edmond & Francis were both professional, prompt & very knowledgeable. They responded to all our questions within 24 hrs
We felt safe booking the trip with them. Money was handled with care & professionally.
A group of us from Australia & NZ went not knowing much about the African continent & we couldn’t have had a better time.
Amazing place, incredible people & mind-blowing animals
There were few hiccups during the 12-day trip… however, everything was handled & managed very well.
We are very very glad with the Africa safari team and both our drivers / guides - Obie (Kenya) & Vincent (Tanzania)
Both were excellent in their driving skills, ethical attitudes & knowledge of the Savannah
We highly recommend booking a trip through Africa Safari bookings Advisory team.

Excellent tour operator
Fred was very easy to communicate throughout the initial process. Very quick to answer all questions and we adapted our itinerary a number of times which he was very accommodating with. The collection at the airport was swift and easy with Ronnie, our tour guide and driver. Every day Ronnie would provide clear instruction on the next day including timings and for each activity. Ronnie was also very excellent at driving in some tough conditions. He was always happy to help with the many questions we had. Thank you Ronnie and Fred for a wonderful experience

It was absolutely amazing
We had an awesome time, we were 5 friends doing a Canoe Safari. The guides Kenny and Richard (and future guide Kuda - fingers crossed for him) were great, super patient with us, cooked amazing, know so much about wildlife and were really helpful in helping us relax when we were 'hippo dodging'. I could not recommend a better experience if you want to connect with nature, sleep under the superb African sky, have wonderful talks about life and enjoy some adrenaline:) will 100% go back for a walking safari with those guys!Thanks for everything!

Best safari with the best guide
My husband and me booked a 7 day safari with Wakanda Tours for our honeymoon. We read a lot reviews upfront and they were all absolutely right: You will have the best safari you can get!
Our guide Felix was awesome. He knows everything about the national parks, plants and the animals. And he is also a very good driver. He drives fast when there is nothing to see, but you will feel safe all the time. It’s impressive how he is multitasking (driving, explaining, spotting animals). We were super happy with him as our guide!
The accomodations were all clean and very comfortabel. The staff was always helpful and friendly. We liked the Signature Serengeti Luxury Camp the most. The food was also good, sometimes very good. Maybe next time we would book a mix of camping and tented Lodges, because the food cooked by the Wakanda Cook was the best :)
Thanks for having us!
