Well planned, well executed trip
We have traveled as a family extensively and were very pleased with the service provided by Giltedge Africa (Southern Africa Travel). Strong guides, great accommodations, always felt safe and comfortable despite being halfway around the world from home.

Splendind service and cordination
Dancom tours provided my family a wonderful holiday experience. They managed all our logistics and booking in a timely and very professional manner. The cost and time saves from our holiday trip were incomparable.
Special thanks to the Dancom staff who made this possible.

Very good budget safari operator.
I was in Nairobi on a business trip and only had Saturday and Sunday to do day trips. After checking with other safari operators i selected Wecam safaris - they were very accomodating to the fact that I only could go on specific dates and had a competitive price. On Saturday we went to Lake Nakuru - i don't have much safari experience but I thought it was a great park, and the driver was an excellent animal spotter. But be advised that the drive to Lake Nakuru is long - you're in for a long day if you do it as a day trip. On Sunday we went to Nairobi national park. A very nice experience, and again the driver proved himself to be an excellent animal spotter. We then went to the David Scheldrick elephant sanctuary, the giraffe center, and Karen Blixen's museum. A perfect day and the people at Wecam were very friendly and a great company.

Very well organised, extremely knowledgable guides, flexible itineraries
Nick was very quick with his response to our needs and questions. The Tailor Made Safari team were very organised and made a huge effort to accomodate our needs and questions. They were very professional but at the same time kept it light hearted, humourous and very fun. We were expecting alot on our safari and the team more than met those expectations. The tour was fantastic. We wanted a bit of everything, not only a safari. Tailor Made Safaris organised and planned everything on very short notice and made sure it was too a high standard

Surprisingly Good
Peter, our driver/guide proved to be quite experienced in the wild. At first, I wasn't sure what to expect
so as he drove us through the Masai Mara, I was ready for anything.
Suddenly he would stop and we'd be surrounded with wildebeest, and antelopes. Then came the herds of zebras. As he continued to drive, suddenly there was a family of lions. There they were looking so bold and confident. We were within five to six feet away from these lions. It was quite serene and awe inspiring. Before then, we had seen a family of Cheetahs, a leopard on a tree, giraffes at a distance, water buffalos at a close range , lots of hyenas and then hippos at the Mara river.
It was all so inspiring. It made me think of the awesomeness of God who created all these and more. I was so pleased to see our friends from the USA enjoy this safari and have a memorable time. In addition we enjoyed the facilities at the hotel AA lodge, very kind hosts and we also got to visit a Masai village.
I'd certainly recommend Kibera holiday safaris to anyone wanting a safe enjoyable safari.

Great Safari Trip!
Absolutely awesome & excellent! David from Absolute Holiday Safaris is very helpful, he answered all my question in professional way (one of the reason why I choose Absolute Holiday Safaris). During the safari trip, Jackson (driver) always try his best to give my group (5 adult + 1 children) the best view to see all the Big 5. He is very helpful and always on time to ensure we always on track and follow the schedule.
David also help me to buy train ticket from Nairobi to Mombasa at no extra charges (some website might charge you $20 fee). He also help me sending driver & communicate with bus driver (during my trip back from Mombasa to Nairobi) to ensure I did not miss the flight!
Thank you for the hospitality and the great experience! Strongly recommended to all...

Amazing safari, all details handled by WildWings
We used wild wings to book our safari while in greater Kruger national park. Our trip was a last minute decision and we had a list of bucket list items including safari. Madi at wild wings took care of all the details from transport to lodging. She found a fantastic lodge (Mohlebetsi) which I'm not sure we ever would have found had we attempted to arrange our trip ourselves. Our multiple game drives rewarded us with the big 5 plus hippo and wild dog! The accommodations at Mohlebetsi were perfect and full board of meals were delicious!
An exciting break, we were so lucky with our sightings and our accommodation was great.
Our communication with our group tour operator was fantastic, and more than lived up to expectations.

amazing and taylor made trip though Uganda
East African Discovery organised us (myself an 4 well experienced travellers) an unforgettable trip through Uganda. From the very first e-mail exchanges, all went impeccably well, very transparant and clear communication which resulted in a perfect travel proposal at a very fair price. During the trip everything appeared to be even above expectations, a very well qualified driver and guides, outstanding hotels and lodges and for sure it was no coincidence we (our guide) spotted all the animals ( incl. Lions, Leopards) and that we were very lucky with the Gorilla tracking too.
At every moment we had the feeling the program was flexible and spontaneous wishes could be considered. On our request were also enabled to visit the orphanage project which is supported by East African Discovery, a truly nice experience.
All in all, congrats to the team and, highly recommended!

A trip of a lifetime
Myself and my wife joined Paul Tamwenya and two other guests on a safri though Uganda and Rwanda. The logistics of the trip were well handled. The trip concentrated on birding but we got to see a lot of wildlife including chimps and gorillas.
Paul helped to make this trip so special, he is a joyful friendly confident guide; he is extremely knowledgeable about birds and all Uganda wildlife; he is well known at the parks and lodges we stayed at and arranged great rangers to join us when needed. Paul is very active in the certification of other guides, he is committed to the cause of Uganda providing world class guiding. He is in a word a "world-class".
You will enjoy his trips.
