This I will remember for the rest of my life
We had a lovely experience in Kenya with this company. They had chosen the parks to visit very wisely and our driver Francis was a fantastic guy and provided us with a lot of nice info and facts and knew his way around. We were slightly confused when arriving to Nairobi and our contact was nowhere to be seen, but they arrived soon enough. Also one of our lodges was a bit less than perfect (the rest were simply perfect!), but that was due to us booking the safari so late and the better lodges already booked full.
This company gave us a way better deal (private tour, cheap) than the other offers we got and I cannot recommend them more! If I would go again, this would be the company I choose.

Refund
I have previously written a review about the difficulties I had on my safari. However, the company have since apologised once again for the mix up with the vehicle on the final day, and have refunded me the cost of the final day, which is a generous response to a genuine mistake. This also makes me feel sure that the experience I had is not at all the usual quality you can expect from them, as reflect in the other very glowing reviews below! Thanks to Jackson for sorting this out.

Harrold has exceptional knowledge and was a great guide
Harrold was such a kind man and he knows his stuff, he explained everything for all of us to understand. He made us laugh too.
I can recommend Kurt Safaris.

my daughter felt during a daytrip. No Help, no refund for the money for a planned safari.
We paid all safari fees for three persons, five days about 5500 $ in cash and in advance. Because there were a few days before stating the safari we booked a day trip to Marangu-falls. On this walk our daughter felt and broke her arm very difficult. So difficult that the doctors told us
to go back to germany as soon as possible. So we had to leave immediatelly. Our daughter was not able to fly home alone. She still can not move her ellbow, wrist or fingers - six weeks later.
We tryed to inform the owner of kilimanjaro budget safaris immediatelly, but we couldn´t get in contact. So we wrote him and told him, that we were not able to go on safari. He did not respond. After tansanian friends contacted him, his father brought us $ 900 back. Now we contact him
and his father who owns another safari company. The fsather says, William is the boss, William say his father is the boss.
Do not book here or do not pay in advance. You will find no help if there happens an accident - with a guide from this company, while a trip
from this company.

3N Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth
Flew to Entebbe the night before the Gorilla trek. Accommodation at the outdoor tent (budget trip) was very nice! We stayed in that place for 2 nights. Following morning we began the trek early morning, suggestions for clothing, long pants to avoid the ants from crawling in, good camera, decent walking shoes, (sneakers with a good sole are okay). The overall experience of the trekking was amazing, a bit rigorous if you're out of shape, but very beautiful scenery. Dan was overall a great leader, very attentive to satisfying our needs. The third night we stayed at a different location. For a budget trip, the place was okay, it's a small lodge and the fan wasn't that strong for the room, the bathroom situation was also a little odd, but it's understandable for budget. The fish we had for dinner that night at the small lodge was very good though. From there we drove to Queen Elizabeth National Park and we were able to see a lion. There was a lot of driving involved which we were aware of, so for those who'd rather cut out that time, I would suggest flying into Kigali if visiting Bwindi. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the gorilla trek the most, and the packed lunches for out trip from the tent/lodge were very good. Dan is also easily accessible when you reach out to him with questions which is a plus.

Excellent communication with comprehensive travel plan that cater my requests
The team was great in replying my emails and it is beyond what i have expected. The safari tour itself is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where my guide, Eusty is so professional in explaining different type of animals and surrounding to us.

We had a superb experience with a fun-loving, family-friendly, professional!!!
Godson keeps his word! From the start, he was an excellent communicator with quick responses even with a seven hour time difference. Trust him!...I was very picky about accommodations and did a lot of research on my own. My selections proved not to be nearly as good as his recommendations which were fabulous. He is humble and an expert in his field. He provided top-notch services and we always felt safe. We are a family ranging in age from 16 to 60 and he made lasting impressions and connections with each one of us. Our 5 day private safari was amazing! We saw the Big 5 and sooo many cheetah! I think it was 7 in one day!!! It was a trip of a lifetime! I highly suggest that you leave your safari in the caring hands of Godson Adventures!!! He and his guides will take care of you!!!

The Kurt Safari's Kruger experience was flawless and the cherry on top was very knowledgable guides!
The Kurt Safari's Kruger experience was flawless from perfect timings and well maintained vehicles to very passionate and knowledgable guides. You could feel the excitement when they told you about any animal and nature in general. They know the park very well and we sow so much, but were also made to appreciate big and small sightings. I had special appreciation for their etiquette when it came to how they drove and carried themselves at sightings when other companies could not care less. What a memorable day.

My family had a wonderful time due to our knowledgeable tour guide Joseph.
The communication was good between myself and Chris, and I appreciated that they treated my family very well. We were able to have many new experiences, and learn many new things. Thank you for your above and beyond hospitality.
