Best experience of our lives
For university we fly to Tanzania to volunteer at a school. Due to school not returning until the 8th we contacted Wutu safari who assisted us to plan our trip until we got to the school. We had a 2 day safari, hotel for 2 nights and food as well as travel. As our first time in the country we were apprehensive but Majenda and Amani made sure we were well looked after. It is a definite trip to make, we learnt so much and started Tanzania on a high!

Great service and excellent administration
Well prepared tour. Excellent guide and good communication throughout the trip. Highly customer oriented. The cooperation between Adventure Safaris and the lodge management as well as the park guides worked perfectly well. Adventure Safaris made this trip a unique experience.

Awesome!!!!!
The staff were very nice from the beginning. They answered all the questions we had before we joined the 3 days Murchison falls safari tour. During our tour, our driver and tour guide was a great person. Our tour turned so much fun because of him. We are sure to go to other safari tours with them again.

Our family vacation in Africa was a dream come true thanks to our booking with Spirit of Kenya.
My daugter Michelle chose and planned our fabulous family Safari vacation with Spirit of Kenya. They offered helpful suggestions and prompt responses to all emails. Start to finish, our trip was a dream come true! From the time our plane landed in Nairobi until we were dropped off for our return to the United States we received impeccable care! One of the great things about Spirit of Kenya is they give you 6-8 different lodges in each location so you can look online and choose which best fits your needs. We were very pleased with each lodge and extremely pleased with our driver, David. There were 7 of us (3 adults and 4 teenagers) plus David in our Land Rover with a pop up top. We rode comfortably despite the long drives and bumpy roads. I definitely highly recommend Spirit of Kenya for your Safari vacation. If you contact them for information or a bid you will probably get a response within 24 hours. Loved Spirit of Kenya!!

Fantastic tour with an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide
This was our first visit to South Africa and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Southern Africa Tours setup a great itinerary tailored to our needs that packed in a great deal of things in a relatively short space of time.
We started by giving them a list of the attractions we wanted to see and the timescale that we had and they managed to get everything we'd requested and more.
I'd also like to make special mention to Gerard our tour guide. My wife and I were both instantly comfortable with him from the get-go. He is extremely knowledgeable about South Africa and each of the locations we visited and made great company.
Thank you again for such a fantastic experience!

Complete, with great attention to detail to ensure an amazing experience.
Yala Safaris Uganda is a young but super organisation. The staff is wonderful, attentive and great with communication. The trip planning was super, although a few really long hard drives (it is a big country), we had a super time and did SO much during our 10 day road trip. We saw Gorillas (a MUST DO experience), saw amazing game in the Safari parks, saw the wondrous Murchison, had adventurous boat trips, and did a walking safari at a Rhino sanctuary. Uganda is in much need of better global exposure and marketing as it is such a unique and beautiful place to visit. We all highly recommend Uganda as a destination and would certainly recommend Yala Safaris. The trip was planned with stays at great lodges, delicious food, super service. Our driver, Moses, was amazing. We felt very much taken care of in his care and we had the most interesting discussions with him and learnt so much from him.

The perfect Christmas getaway
Wow! A trip of a lifetime adventure. From start to finish Earthlife came through. Caudence answered questions quickly and was very helpful to my changes. When our flights changed the night before we were to fly, Caudence handled it quickly. We had a small problem with my final payment not going through, but Deo and Caudence were helpful to solve the situation.
The tented camps were amazing. They looked like it was set up for a movie. The team were very caution for our safety along with their team. The lodges were beautiful and food was great. The hotel in Zanzibar was awesome and it was like we were at a family's home for a Holiday. The only problem was the distance into a shopping area.
The best part of the safari was seeing all the animals and of course, Gilbert our driver. He was so knowledgeable about the animals, land and the culture. He had a wonderful and friendly personality along with his great sense of humor. By the end of the safari we were like a family.
Thank you for the lasting memories of the safari and new friendships formed.

Excellent safari experience
We took a 9 day tour to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Mara North. EXCEPTIONAL (5*) part of the tour were the following: (i) The tour guide is the person who guides you for the whole tour and can make or break a tour. We were fortunate to have Mr. Thoya as our driver-cum-tour guide. Extremely punctual, well groomed, communicative, friendly, extremely safe driving; most importantly, he had an exceptional knowledge of the bush and always knew where to find the animals, depending on the time of the day. He is also well networked and helped a couple of guys when they had flat tires. I am sure, if he had faced any problems (which he didn't), he would have been able to organise support quickly. Thanks to him, we got to see the big5 on both days in Masai Mara. We also got to see Cheetah hunts twice. All-in-all extremely satisfying (ii) Lodges, in order of our liking - (a) Mara Serena Lodge (truly exceptional place this) (b) Keekorok Lodge (c) Kibo Safari Camp. AVERAGE (4*) part of the tour were the following: (i) Flamingo Hill Camp at Lake Nakuru - staff could definitely improve their courtesy. Following aspects could have been IMPROVED : (i) Upkeep of the Toyota Safari vehicle provided to us (ii) Error in booking 3 single rooms instead of 1 double occupancy and 1 single occupancy room due to miscommunication. The number of rooms to be booked should come out clearly in the quotation
