Awesome three day private safari
My wife and I took a three day private safari visiting Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We chose Bestday Safaris as they came highly recommended and we could not be happier with our choice. Peter, the manager of the company, was very helpful from the start with arranging our trip, finding for us the internal flights and optimising our travel time. He gave us plenty of choices about which parks to visit and where to stay and tailored the safari to our wishes. Our guide, Louis, is a true encyclopaedia of wildlife and a master at spotting it. We have seen all the wildlife on our list and then some: lions, leopards, hyenas, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, buffaloes, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and others. The accommodations were top notch and the car clean and reliable. We had the best time ever, thank you, Peter & Louis!

Comfortable ;very friendly staff.
One word:Excellent.Every part of the safari was enjoyable and memorable! We absolutely loved the Nairobi National Park and the David Sheldrick Wildlife trust is not to be missed with all those caring handlers to the sweet, precious baby elephants. I got to kiss a giraffe at the Giraffe Center in Nairobi (bucket list check). Our tour guide was as charming as could be.

Good company and contact
Edward is excellent, though we never met. He helped arrange all the safaris in Kenya with reasonable price and recommendations.

Fantastic safari adventure that created a lifetime's worth of memories!
My two college-age sons and I selected Gametrackers based on the reviews here and could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our 10-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti camping safari. From our first email contact with Stacey Bisley through our final goodbyes to our guide, Rufus Kimani, and our amazing bush chef, Charles, every aspect of Gametrackers' handling of our safari conveyed care and professionalism. If you are reading this and considering whether or not to invest in this trip of a lifetime, just do it! Rufus has an intimate knowledge of each destination and often positioned us to experience the majesty of African wildlife in ways that other guides simply could not match. Charles was a magician with the campfire, cooking delicious hot breakfasts and dinners every day, and providing fresh fruits, vegetables, and sandwiches for lunch. We never went to bed hungry, and always had energy for full days of going face to face with the world's most spectacular wildlife. The highlights of this safari are way too many to remember, but we took over a thousand photos to help spur our memories! Thank you, Gametrackers, for giving us such an intimate look at your beautiful East Africa. By the way, if anybody has questions about our safari, feel free to email me and I will be glad to help you plan your trip.

The whole trip has been incredible.
Besides the places, the operation was impeccable.
It met expectations. The times, coordinations, and attentions were A1.
At all times we felt informed and well taken care of. Very friendly and concerned that the experience was special.
I recommend them for upcoming safaris. I hope to return next year.

Wonderful experience with Experience Uganda Tours
We did a 3-Day, fly-in mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi and Kevin gave us a very good package deal. The communication was perfect, from before leaving home till after we were back in Kampala. It was very nice to meet Kevin and Leslie at their welcoming guest house at the beginning of this wonderful experience. Everything was well organized, the gorilla permits, flights, transfers, accommodation and the service was exceptionally good. We stayed in Karibu Guest house in Entebbe with lovely rooms, swimming pool and garden, the dinner fantastic. We also loved Engagi Lodge in Bwindi with the beautiful views and river walk, great hospitality & friendly staff and delicious food. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable and relaxing safari. Thank you!! We highly recommend Experience Uganda Tours.

Unforgettable experience
We spent 16 days in Africa, travelling in Kenya and Tanzania.
As first, unforgettable experience, we've done everything we could think of: safaris with the Big 5 spotted, climbing the very top peak of Africa and, in the end, a relaxing conclusion on the coast.
Ancient Wild Safari, thanks to their responsibles and guides, has been a tremendous companion in this adveturous journey, providing all the necessary support to enjoy every single moment spent in these fantastic territories where it all originated.

A once-in-a-lifetime adventure
Firstly in a nutshell:
We have been to safaris in several African countries before, thus our expectations were pretty high. Earthlife expeditions and especially our guide really managed to exceed our expectations by far. A real outstanding once-in-a-lifetime adventure which we will never forget.
Now in detail:
We spent 15 days in Tanzania in January 2017. We found Earthlife expeditions on a website for safari providers and decided to ask for an individual offer for our safari from Earthlife expeditions. The owner, Deo, immediately replied and sent us a taylor-made offer with great value for money.
Our guide and a lady picked us up at the airport and from the first minute we felt very welcome and comfortable. On our way to our first lodge we got some general instructions, hints and even learned a few words in Swahili. This was extremely helpful and opened a lot of doors for our journey.
Our safari included Lake Manyara, Greater Serengeti, Nduto, Ngorogoro and Lake Eyasi and we finished our trip with some relaxing days in Zanzibar. A great selection recommended by Deo. We had a lot of adventure, experienced breathtaking wildlife, met and interacted with local people, had unforgettable nights in tents in the Greater Serengeti and Nduto. We stayed in tented camps and lodges and all accommodation was great. All this was really fantastic, but what really made this experience outstanding was our guide Gilbert. This guy is just fantastic, really well experienced with a great eager to find animals and a passion for his home country. Very soon we became much more than clients, we really became friends and this made the trip so special.
After our safari we flew to Zanzibar which was also organised by Earthlife. We expected a nice hotel at a nice beach but also here our expectations had been exceeded. Our hotel "Next paradise" was really worth its name, it was an amazing hotel at a great beach. Much, much more than anything we could have expected for the total price we paid.
Initially, we had a problem in transferring the money from Germany to Tanzania before we travelled to Tanzania, so we were a little nervous about this. However, Deo helped us to solve this problem and everything turned out very well.
For a better impression, please find some photos attached. Thank you Gilbert, Deo and the team, for this memorable tour:-)

Great Experience with 4-Day Safari
I just returned from a 4-day safari with Viva Safaris, spending time at the Tremisana and Katekani Lodges. Overall, Viva did a great job. There were lots of drive and walk opportunities and I was always busy. Meals were great and staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The Katekani Lodge is especially wonderful and I highly recommend it.
