Wonderful Safari and Private Coffee Tour in Kenya
I recently did a 3 day/2 night safari to Amboseli National Park from Nairobi with Super Eagles. From the start, the communication with Chanson was thorough and very prompt. The safari itself was fantastic - our driver, Evans, ensured a smooth and comfortable drive and made sure to stop whenever we spotted something interesting. We saw so many animals, including a group of lions hunting a wildebeest. The accommodation was basic but very comfortable, with good breakfast and dinner. I would definitely recommend this safari. I also asked Super Eagles to provide a quote for a coffee farm tour on the day that I checked out of my hotel, as they couldn't hold my bags for me and my flight was late in the evening. The driver, Moses, was there exactly on time and provided a lot of information on the way to the farm. I then got to spend a few hours at Fairview Coffee Estate on a really informative tour, and bought some delicious fresh Kenyan coffee. Moses then took me to a restaurant for lunch in the city, but unfortunately it was closed due to demonstrations that day. He promptly took me to the airport to ensure I would be able to find somewhere to have lunch and helped me to get my bags to the cafe. The company truly showed that they care about their clients. Thanks for a wonderful time in Kenya!

11/10 tour and service
Best experience ever.
From day 1 Gorilla Tours 10/10. Anette is super responsive and helped us with every question. The lodges are extremely beautiful , the car brand new and well equipped and the itinerary well structured.
But the real additional value was our guide Grace. She told us so much about herself and Uganda and always went above and beyond to make us have a great experience. She is so solar and funny, took us to local restaurants and even got us the best rangers in the national parks so we always had amazing experiences with the animals. Grace is a truly beautiful person.
Will recommend this agency and definitely come back myself.

Take a different tour operator.
I would not recommend Focus in Africa and neither the tour we did.
We did the budget safari and as one can immagine, the accomodation was budget (mostly tents), the food was basic, and the car was not of high quality (the door kept on opening and our cook had to hold it the whole drive). Sometimes our lunch boxes had no cutlery. But this is okay. The sleeping bags were of low quality and outdated for which reason sleeping in the Ngorongoro crater camp was extremely cold. The agency only seemed in the mood to answer when they needed something but completely ignored us when we had requests.
But what we found really not nice was our guide Brisont. He really did not put any effort in making this more that a basic experience for my fellow 5 travellers and I. He did not tell us anything about Tanzania or himself and left us always as soon as we arrived at the camps. In the national parks he did not search for animals or explain anything to us but just drove from A to B. Also we were always the first ones to arrive at the camps in the afternoon and the last ones to leave in the morning. But what we found was most annoying is that we had less time than we should have had in Serengeti Np. Briston himself explained that the permit was 12 hours long- but we entered at 15:00pm and left it at 12:30pm the next day, only to arrive way to early at our next destination again, where he left us as soon as he had dropped us.
Do yourself the favour and spend more money on a tour agency that knows what professionalism means.

Very professional and knowledgeable about his subject
The tour was organized by Abou Safaris, the quote was sent very quickly and we only had to worry about our plane tickets! Abou is always punctual, knows the reserves he has been exploring for over two decades, he speaks excellent French which is practical and has a very good sense of humor! In short, it was an idyllic stay, we were able to admire the wildlife and take beautiful photos because he also knows how to position himself for the photographers (he practices himself). The vehicles are suitable and comfortable (plus he drives very well)
In short, I warmly and happily recommend...

Great service and nice experience
Steve from Ramja is very nice and patient. He helped checking a few accommodation options till we confirmed the one I preferred. The driver, Edson, was also nice and well experienced. He listened to our needs and we spent a good time in this safari tour.
Steve also speaks fluent Chinese if anyone needs to communicate in mandarine Chinese.

adventurous Safari
The safari was well organized! Our guide Frank was very good, friendly, knowledgeable and showed and took our wishes into account. We visited Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater and were lucky enough to see the Big Five. I can recommend this organization - Lui Tours - with a clear conscience.

Perfect two day safari tour!
We booked a private two day safari with African Masterclass to see the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Everything was very well planned and executed. We were picked up at the airport late in the evening, driven to a nice hotel in Arusha for the night before starting the safari the next day.
We had a very nice and skilled guide, whose name I unfortunately do not remember. He answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable.
We got to see 4 of the 5 big ones, which we are very pleased with. The only thing we didn't get to see was the leopard. After the safari, we were driven back to the airport by our guide. There was plenty of space in the car and the food served along the way was good. Between the first and second day, we spent the night at the Marera Valley Lodge, which can really be recommended.
I feel we got good value for money and had an experience of a lifetime. Will happily order again.

The most wonderful trip!
We had a wonderful tour around Rwanda. Everything was great - the wildlife, scenery, accommodation and hospitality. Vincent was our guide/driver who was fantastic. He catered to all our needs, was very kind, considerate and flexible.
We recommend Speke to any future travellers to Africa.

Great Guide, perfect organization, excellent team and accommodation
We did a six day safari with Big Cats Safari starting in Arusha with our two daughters (16 and 18 years old). We had Venance, who was the perfect guide for us, very knowledgeable and helpful, pleasant and friendly - and a skillfull driver on the tracks of Serengeti. We especially loved sleeping in the luxurious tens of Intimate Camps and encounters with all of the Big Five during the great Migration. The team of Big Cats Safari was perfect in organizing the entire trip for us - excellent and fast in communication and definitely worth the price.

Smooth sailing. Perfection really
Everything ran perfectly. The transport, times etc. Our guide was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and gave the animals space whilst we watched.
Can't recommend the tour company enough. Memories that will last a lifetime.
