FANTASTIC!!!
Had the most amazing time at the Garden Route Game Lodge.
The entire trip was superb, the Gems Of Africa guide was superb & incredibly knowledgable.
The game lodge was amazing - I would highly recommend the Luxury Suites - they were out of this world - incredible views overlooking the reserve.
The Garden Route Game Lodge staff couldn't do enough for you & the food was great.

Incredible
We called on THE best company to make our vacation in Tanzania.
We contacted Stéphanie who was able to offer us a program that listened to our desires and tastes.
An incredible and magical experience on all points.
By combining Tanzania and Zanzibar, sharing safaris, city and paradise island.
The accommodations are exceptional, always placed in exceptional lodges whose rooms are all carefully chosen. The welcomes are warm and the different staff we met were perfect.
Our program was quickly realized and I was even able to adapt it by adding a last minute request (motorcycling in Tanzania) to which Stéphanie was able to respond positively.
She was attentive and present before, during and after our trip. She made herself available from beginning to end with kindness and benevolence.
Each stage of the trip was organized to the millimeter, without a single false note: flights, transfers, guides (with a special mention for Mohamed!!), lodges, food.
This trip is the most beautiful we have experienced and will remain engraved for life!
All this is thanks to At Adventure Travelling!
With our eyes closed, we recommend them to you, you will not be disappointed! An exceptional quality/price ratio.

The Best Serengeti Experience Bar None
I can't recommend GoGiraffe Safaris highly enough for an everything-you-could-wish-for African safari experience. From pre-travel communication and aid, to designing a custom safari & Zanzibar trip for our group of 8, luxury accommodations and flexible schedules on each day of our tour, and not least, spending hours (upon hours!) with us each day as we reveled in the natural beauty of the landscape and took our 8000th picture of a zebra :), Luice and his guides Rama and Rajab were consummate professionals while also being friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable.
I am convinced that Luice has the sharpest eyes in all of Serengeti and without him we would have missed much on the "endless plain." My heartfelt thanks to Luice and his crew for a truly amazing experience. Asante sana!

Amazing safari experience
We booked with Jocky Tours the 6days masai mara-nakuru-naivasha tour + 4 days at amboseli national park. Communication with the team was effortless and quick with many options to accomodate our travel plans. Value for money is very good comparing to other similar tour operators and everything run smoothly.
In our trips we had 3 guides: Daniel, Salomon (masai mara and nakuru) and andrew (amboseli). They were super nice and explained a lit about the parks, the animals and in general about the kenyan culture.
Accomodations were clean and food was fine.
Would definitely recommend!

Perfectly planned and executed trip with several waw moments
What a great trip, with plenty of variation, great locations and lodges, great service and a lot of waw moments. Emmanuel our guide and ‘safety first’ driver played an important role in making this happen. Overall strongly recommendable

WOW!! What an amazing experience!
Adventure of a lifetime. Must go, for all animal and nature lovers. We decided to go with Meru Slopes company, and it was a great decision. Everything was organised perfectly. From day one, right till the end. Big THANK YOU, to our fantastic guide/driver, named Douglas. What a guy!! Great animal knowledge, good story-teller good driver, polite and very nice person. We just couldn't ask for more. Our safari was amazing, all because of Douglas. He always went an extra mile, to make sure we see the Big Five, Mara River crossing, and much, much more. Thank you again Douglas.
If we decide to do a safari again, this time in wet season, it'll only be with him.

Inspired feet safaris is the best!
We really loved our 10 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania.
We saw a lot of animals. Our guides did the best they could to get us as close as possible to see them. And we were happy that we have seen the big five!
In Tanzania we had the best chef that cooked delicious meals.
A special thanks to Fiona! We could always contact her and she was always ready to help and answered quickly.

Good experience
Every thing is well arranged by Super Eagles, what we need to do is to enjoy the safari. We see many wild animals in the trip, that's really an excellent experience.

A bit rushed but a memorable experience
It's a bit of cliché to say a travel experience was the trip of a lifetime. But in the case of the Bujo Tours 8-day tour of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, it's an apt description.
First up was a game drive in Tarangire National Park, a perfect way to ease into life on the road. The park is small compared to its more famous neighbours but the wildlife is plentiful and easy to see.
The second day we took the long drive to the Serengeti. It was just as spectacular as it looks in the nature documentaries -- a never-ending plain of dry grass, studded here and there with umbrella-like acacia trees. Because of its size, the animals were widely spread out and there were many periods when nothing much was visible. But when they appeared, the animal sightings were memorable: Plenty of giraffes, warthogs, gazelles, antelopes, hippo, crocs and even rarely-seen serval cats and a leopard in a tree. Several times, we got very close to lions, including an entire pride of a dozen animals, just a few yards away. We were amazed at how nonchalant lions can be, casually walking within a couple of paces of the truck, studiously ignoring us.
One of the sights we most wanted to see was the Great Migration -- more than 1.5 million wildebeests on their way north toward Kenya. It was fascinating to see huge herds grazing just off the road, then suddenly forming single-file lines to continue their northward trek. The only disappointment was that the wildebeests were not ready to make the spectacular crossing of the Mara River. It's completely a matter of luck and our timing happened to be bad.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the trip was in the Ngorongoro Crater. The early morning mist and the the sun slowing creeping down the crater wall made for an enchanting atmosphere and animals were everywhere.
The tour was very well run. It was a private tour, meaning we had our own driver/guide Freddy and our own cook, Aresto. Freddy has a keen eye and was usually the first to spot wildlife. He's very knowledgeable and happy to stop whenever we wanted a longer look. Aresto's meals were mostly delicious stews and curries.
You should be aware that the accommodation throughout was safari tents, big enough for a 6-footer to stand in. We slept in sleeping bags on foam mats. If you're used to camping, you'll have no trouble with the accommodations. At night we could hear lions calling nearby, sometimes sounding like they were just outside our tent. (According to Freddy, one night they actually were!)
I have few criticisms, but I do wish the pace of the safari was a little slower. Sometimes it felt like we were racing to fit in as much as possible. That was most notable in the Ngorongoro Crater. Soon after coming to the crater floor, Freddy got word that a black rhino was nearby. In our race to get there, we sped right past a huge herd of water buffalo right on the side of the road. In the end, we saw only a glimpse of the rhino about a kilometre away. I would far prefer to have spent time close to the water buffalo.
We were only in the crater half a day. I would recommend spending a whole day there, even a day and a half. It's too nice a place to race through.
But overall, it was a wonderful trip and I give Bujo Tours five stars.
