Efficient,quick and highly professional
We came across ATC through the internet. They were highly responsive and efficient to an extent (that i had doubts it could be fraud) . Every single request was promotly dealt with . Simply , they made our wish with this lifetime trip come true .
They even called us several times to answer all our questions which they ve already answered per mail) . As first timers to southetn Africa , we had too many questions . They were always extremely patient and friendly .
The trip was a dream . Not a single disappointment . Even when there .. whenever there was any uncertainty , they will resolve it on the spot .
As a family of three adults , we were in best hands , all went very smoothly , according to plan .This all has made our trip so memorable and enjoyable .
Thank you all from ATC . Planning and after sale service AAA+

Driver and van very poor quality, camp good tents but poor meals
The driver had little experience in bad roads, we got stucked many times, the van was old and not comfortable and worst of all had not enough heigh for passing holes with water in the roads of Masai Mara.
The camp has good tents but food is not enough.
Personnel of the camp very kind !

Great Service
I am always happy to be back home in Kenya but this time it was a 5 Day safari with my British friends at the Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. The tour operator did an excellent service because i wanted to impress my friends who had never been to Africa - we got a very good choice of hotels and lodges, the driver/guide was very professional and I was happy to have consulted Felistus who was very patient with our queries and emails - she is outstanding!
Do trust Oakland Tours and Safaris to deliver - and sure my friends were very impressed with Kenya thanks to Oakland Tours.

Memorable safari experience
We had such an amazing time at Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and the Amboseli. If you are going on a first time safari, not knowing what to expect I would refer Oakland Tours any time. Our guide Edward was excellent and gave us plenty of time to stop and experience what interested us all. He was very knowledgable and made it very interesting for my family. We were very lucky to see so many different animals and birds, it was beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Oakland Tours and Safaris, they are very professional and the driver/guide was very well versed with the terrain and logistics. It was a really magical experience.

Excellent safari in Kenya, highly recommended
Transtrek organised an excellent safari to Naivasha, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naivosho Conservancy in Kenya for me, my partner and my father in December 2017. The booking, payment and administration process was very simple and easy, and gave me confidence we were booking with a reliable company. We had a superb guide and driver, Peter, who drove very well, had great knowledge about Kenya's wildlife, and who clearly enjoys his work. Because of his knowledge, we were able to see a huge range of wildlife, including all of the 'big five', at close quarters. The vehicle was comfortable and well maintained, and the accommodation was superb. We have since used Transtrek again, to book a very similar trip for friends, with confidence that they will have a great trip too. I highly recommend talking to them about your East African safari and travel plans, you won't be disappointed.

On the ball, knowledgable, friendly!
Our driver was fantastic, very knowledgable and happy to answer all of our questions. He made sure we didn't miss out on anything - we saw a cheetah within 5 minutes of entering the park, and the big 5 within the first 2 days. Robert was very quick to respond to all of our emails and questions. I would highly recommend these guys to organise all aspects of your holiday, we really felt they went the extra mile for us!

Excellent Safari
The safari was easy to schedule, easy to pay for online, and the actual event was amazing. We were a group of 10 and everything was perfect. We stayed in Murchison Falls National Park at Pakuba Safari Lodge. The accommodations were exactly what we needed for our stay. I can't say enough about George and Xavier our safari guides. They knew exactly where to go to find all the animals. They even had us wake up early so that we got the best view of the animals. We saw everything we wanted to see. We only wish we had more time.

Ensure the best Safari by booking with Rupia Adventure!
We did a 9 day Tanzanian Safari with Rupia adventure. I wish I could give them more stars!
The two most important things when planning your Safari are 1) the person who helps with the itinerary and 2) your guide. Rupia Adventure did excellent with BOTH of these!
Planning the itinerary: Mathias was great, providing suggestions and information. They provided a list of hotel suggestions, with clear cost differences, and I was then able to research and pick the ones I wanted. He was very patient with my many questions and needs over many months leading up to our trip. We had a few last minute changes and he was very helpful in getting them done. During the Safari, we had NO issues with hotels or accommodations, food, or anything that caused any stress or concern. SEAMLESS! This takes work and planning - thank you Mathias!
The Guide: All I can say is WOW. Mathias took what would have been a good trip and made it OUTSTANDING!
1. Mathias could spot wildlife from VERY far away and while driving. There was more than once that a car in front of us drove past something that Mathias stopped to show us. You know, like a leopard hanging out in a tree. He remembered what we had seen/not seen and knew what we were interested in seeing - so he knew when to stop, when to keep going, where to take us and what to make sure we saw.
2. He was very knowledgeable about everything - educating us on animals, animal behaviors, the parks, the country, politics, the local tribes and culture - you name it. And he was not only patient with our 1000 questions but he encouraged it. We learned so much more than we expected to! He even gave us Swahili lessons!
3. We were very into photography and taking pictures. Mathias made sure to park in the best place for good lighting and composition. He made recommendations on pictures and how to make adjustments to get the right shot. Thanks to him, we took MANY amazing photos and have many great memories!
4. When an animal was on the move, Mathias thought through where the animals were heading and got us aligned just right. We were always in the best position for wildlife viewing, even when we were surrounded by other cars. He got as excited as we did when we found awesome things, he really wanted to show off Africa to us and make sure we saw as much as we could. He promised us babies, and he did not disappoint!
5. The icing on the cake: Mathias is always happy and cheerful, patient and kind, humble and humorous and was a joy to be around for 9 days!
The car was great - the top opened and we spent most of our time standing up looking out. When when the dust was high (often) we could close the windows (and/or the top) and not have as much of an issue. We had 4 in the car (plus Mathias) and it was perfect.
One recommendation: If Rupia offers for you work with a travel agent in your country, decline. The people in Tanzania are much more knowledgeable and can provide better recommendations on your itinerary. Mathias is very responsive.
I had to use a different TO for our Rwanda part of the trip and had a lot of issues, causing a lot of stress. Without a doubt, go with Rupia Adventure and request Mathias BY NAME!
